A Witness Notes

Parody

2008-03-18T04:23:00.000-07:00

I have received an angry email condemning my great love for Adolph Hitler.
I thought I would mention here that this blog contains sarcastic parody. Since it would appear that some people fail to get the point I thought a quick note might help to make people aware of a parody when they read one.

Unified Field Theory

2008-01-16T14:58:00.000-08:00

After putting a lot of effort into solving the mystery, I have finally managed to come up with a working Unified Field Theory, which redefines gravity as being just a manifestation of the ElectroMagnetic field, and not a separate force at all.

A Unified Field Theory is very important to science, and you may be wondering what it might have to do with you. If you are concerned about 'global warming' or feuds over dwindling energy resources, then what the Unified Field Theory means to you is the discovery of an abundant source of clean and constantly renewing energy, about which people know nothing at the present time, but which they are soon to discover. The theory also describes 'the anti-gravity effect', something which is supposed to be impossible according to current theories describing gravity, and yet which does exist, as the theory demonstrates, and this suggests that new forms of propulsion are on the way, as well as space stations where astronauts experience ?G-Forces of one G instead of floating weightless in space, among so many other things that will change in the world as a consequence of a Unified Field Theory.

If you are a busy person, the important chapter is the last chapter. The Unified Field Theory has been described in a manner I hope will make it understandable to everyone, and not just some scientists, and I have included some introductory pieces explaining certain important concepts for the benefit of those who may be unfamiliar with some of these topics.

The Unified Field Theory is also available as a zip file -> unified.zip

This was one of the most challenging things I have ever attempted to do in my life, and I am so very happy at the way things have been turning out.

The 'Success' of the Surge in Iraq

2007-12-29T20:32:00.000-08:00

Public support for the war in Iraq has been steadily falling and for this reason the Bush administration desperately required a good news story coming out of Iraq rather than just more reports of a never ending quagmire. In recent times we have been bombarded with media stories concerning the 'success' of the surge in Iraq in quelling violence in the country, which would suggest that what the situation in Iraq required all along was the application of a greater concentration of military violence, since apparently this was the missing part of the equation in the past. Now that the surge has proven to be beneficial we now here reports that the Bush administration is authorizing a second surge, this time in the number of troops recruited into the American armed forces, and funding will now be given to increase the size of America's military. The timing of this announcement follows the announcement of the success of the surge into Iraq, since the conclusion one must draw is that America is short of troops, and since more military force equates to success on the battlefield, America needs to allocate more funds to expanding its military.

Certain readers may be unaware of some important details concerning the fall in the level of violence in Iraq, and so I thought it would be good to fill in some of the blanks. Now one of the first reasons for the fall in the level of violence in Iraq is that the period of ethnic cleansing is now over, and given how there are no longer Shi'ites living in Sunni claimed neighborhoods or vice versa, there are no longer any civilians for the armed militias to terrorize and chase away so as to create pure ethnic enclaves in Iraq. The seeds for this great outburst of ethnic strife in Iraq were planted right at the beginning of the occupation when suddenly many tens of thousands of Sunnis, members of Saddam's tribe, were suddenly out of a job having been summarily fired by Paul Bremer who was running Iraq on behalf of Washington at that time. The Sunni insurgency then began to build up steam in the following months. In order to fight the Sunni insurgency it then became necessary for Washington to become cozy with the Shi'ites, who now dominate Iraq's parliament, this being the old imperialist strategy of 'divide and conquer', and the hope was that by recruiting the Shi'ites they could be employed to help put down the rising Sunni insurgency. Next came the constitution, which granted oil rights based upon regions, so as to please the Sunnis in the South and the Kurds in the North, while leaving the Sunnis in the middle with next to nothing, since there is no oil discovered in the middle of Iraq at the present time. This constitutional division of the oil rights based upon regions was once again required to keep Shi'ites and Kurds on board in the fight against the Sunni insurgency. This was then followed by the Sunni bombing of the most sacred Shi'ite mosque, which was then followed by an escalating round of tit for tat episodes of ethnic cleansing and one car bombing and episodes of kidnapping, torture and murder as Sunnis drove out Shi'ites and Shi'ites drove out Sunnis, resulting the new creation of ethnic enclaves in Iraq where you won't find a single Sunni in a Shi'ite claimed territory or vice versa. This phase is now over since there are now several million internally displaced refugees in Iraq and no more ethnic cleansing is required to purify various neighborhoods since they were already purified in the past couple of years. Thus this sort of violence has subsided in Iraq, and it has nothing to do with a success of the surge but rather is the result of the success of ethnic cleansing, a totally different matter altogether.

Now given that the Bush administration needed a good news story, and given that the surge was not producing results earlier in the year, and the situation was so bad that during the September report to Congress and the media on the surge, the theme of the day was that the surge just needed more time and then it would be successful, so therefore people should be more patient.

Well, given the failure of the surge, as reported in September, it became quite obvious that a surge was never going to work, no matter how damn long they tried that strategy, and so the decision was made to try a different strategy. Therefore now the militias in Iraq are on the Pentagon payroll. They are now receiving pay cheques of three hundred dollars a month to not attack American troops. In this way peer group pressure could be brought into play, for if everyone in that militia wants to keep getting their monthly pay cheque they will have to make sure that all their associates in that militia do not ruin things for everyone else by attacking American troops. This strategy of paying the militias in Iraq has worked where the previous surge had failed and now violence is dropping in Iraq. As well, you might have heard the one about how the militias in Iraq finally came to realize the grave danger posed to Iraq by foreign Al Queda fighters and then began fighting Al Queda in Iraq. What happened there is that in order to keep their payments of 300 dollars a month the militias had to agree to fight Al Queda in Iraq while also agreeing not to fight America troops. It gives a person some idea of just how much people in Iraq want three hundred dollars when you consider just how quickly those militias began fighting Al Queda in Iraq, which was duly reported in the media, incorrectly, as being the result of the growing unpopularity of Al Queda, when actually it was all about being on the payroll and getting paid for doing certain jobs. A lot of these militias haven't been paid by the month ever since they got unceremoniously dumped into the streets by Paul Bremer, and now that they have finally found gainful employment, it is not surprising to see them at work and on the job everyday.

The moral of the story would appear to be that when a country is invaded the very first thing that should be done is that cheques should be issued on a monthly basis for humanitarian causes. Now there are those who might say, 'who the hell am I, Santa Claus?' However, you did invade their country, and you will be spending hundreds of billions and then even multiple trillions on the barbaric attempt to beat that country to a pulp, and it would seem to me that while playing Santa could also cost you a few hundred billion it would still be more cost effective than sinking all that money into some endless sinkhole only to wind up at the end of it all writing some miserly cheques to try to make up for some of the damage done when you spent that previous trillion bucks on barbarism and violence.

Faith in Violence

2007-12-28T06:39:00.001-08:00

The cost of the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is climbing towards one trillion dollars, with some estimates suggesting that the total cost will climb into the multiple trillions by the middle of the next decade, assuming that these two seemingly endless quagmires were to continue for that long. Iraq was once one of the most prosperous countries in the Middle East, with modern infrastructure such as power utilities and water and sanitation being built over the course of decades using the proceeds from a state owned oil industry. Now the country is destroyed and poverty is endemic, while child starvation is a persistent fact of life in Afghanistan. All the hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars are not being spent on human needs but rather are being poured into violent bloodshed, with the human and social toll of the conflicts feeding back into a growing insurgency that gains more support as the months and years go by, resulting in even more money being poured into the open cesspool of violence and oppression in response to the constantly swelling support for the insurgency in those two countries. The Taliban have made a comeback in Afghanistan and the great majority of Iraqis want the Americans out of their country, while millions of Iraqis have become homeless refugees because of the conflict in their country. In order to fend off starvation the farmers in Afghanistan have turned to the heroin trade such that 90 percent of the world's heroin is now being produced. When attempts were made by the NATO forces to spray the poppy plants, the population turned to the Taliban for protection so that the poppy fields could be protected, and as a result the Taliban now once again control the southern part of the country.

When you consider the trillions of dollars being flushed down a sewer and when you consider just how much easier it would have been to win people over with a little help, or even a lot of help, since a trillion is a lot of money to be spending, then you can realize just how fucking brainless political leadership on this planet has become and just brutish and barbaric the minds of the entire political establishment must be to think that they can 'win a victory' simply buy using more brutality and spending ever greater amounts on violence as the violence they unleashed previously inspires more insurgency, thus requiring more spending on brainless violence. It is exactly this process which occurred in Vietnam and as the soldiers in that country used to say, there were no civilians in that place, since everyone was a supporter of the Viet Cong, this rising militancy occurring over the period of years as a response to brutality and violence. The same process is underway in both Iraq and Afghanistan and the brutish policy of the political establishment is the same as it was in Vietnam, more money and more violence, and while the idiotic twaddle about 'victory at any cost' continues, it is easy to predict how things will turn out at the end of it all. Some people apparently learn nothing from history.

The following interesting article appeared in the Observer, written by Jason Burke and entitled “No Hope of Victory Soon in Afghanistan.”

He wrote, “In late 2003 I interviewed starving peasants in a ward of Kandahar hospital. That there was still famine two years after Afghanistan had been invaded by the world’s richest superpower was not just a disgrace, but plain dumb. When I spoke to inhabitants of the village outside Kandahar where the Taliban had been founded a decade previously, they told me how they were planting opium to survive, how they did not want the religious hardliners back, but wanted security, justice and protection from rapacious government officials and warlords, and how they would like a well.

“Last week, fierce battles raged around that village as NATO troops tried to wrest it back from the insurgents. The international coalition fought one easy war to win Afghanistan in 2001, then lost a third of the country through negligence and is now fighting a hard second war to get it back.

“This puts recent tactical victories in perspective. Musa Qala, the town retaken from the Taliban last week, is a small district centre in one of the remote parts of the country. If Afghanistan were the United Kingdom, it would be a market town in mid-Wales. If [Conservative Opposition leader] David Cameron seriously thinks the fight for it is the equal of D-Day, then he should look at an atlas.”

Hollywood's sanitized version of events leading to 911

Tom Hanks Tells Hollywood Whopper in 'Charlie Wilson's War'

As it so happens, Massoud did not receive any financial support from the Saudis, because they mistakenly thought he was a Shia Muslim. He was Sunni. Nevertheless, he was not altogether displeased with the situation, because it meant he didn't have to deal with the Arab jihadis. This is one of several reasons why, had we actually supported Massoud and not Hekmatyar, there would have been no 9/11. To be sure, there were quite a few people during the 1980s, including several U.S. Senators and various journalists, trying to warn Wilson and the CIA that the consequences of supporting Hekmatyar would be globally catastrophic.

Oil and the War in Sudan

2007-12-18T22:45:00.000-08:00

The map on the following page shows the relationship that exists between the location of Sudan's oil fields and the region where the war in Sudan is being waged between the SPLA and the government forces. The government forces are concentrated in the oil producing region with the SPLA forces ringing the perimeter, and this arrangement of strategic forces indicates the war in Sudan is mostly about the wealth being generated by oil. Similar grievances are found in Nigeria where a smaller scale war is being waged over complaints about oil revenues being siphoned off while none of the money reaches the local population.

In the following story from the BBC site the SPLA claims to have conquered a Chinese run oil field, a claim denied by the Chinese company, although they did acknowledge that fighting had taken place over possession of this oil field. Darfur rebels win 'major victory'

The Mind of Adolph Hitler

2007-12-18T09:10:00.000-08:00

History teaches us that the great struggle for life takes the form of a battle between the races. What was the result of the first of history’s great battles between the Nordic Aryan race of Europe and the Jew? Was the result of this first victorious struggle not the greatest flowering of human culture and the grandest rise in the level of human civilization that the world has ever seen. What the Jew feared most was what came to pass in those days, as the innate superiority of the European Aryan race was revealed in all its majestic glory.

Truly it can be said with no fear of contradiction that it has always been the Aryan white race that has been the carrier of all that has been best in human culture. Compare the scientific genius, the undeniable technological prowess put on display for all the world to see. Who could deny the greatness of the Aryan Super Race, nature’s highest creation, and the chosen child of Divine Providence meant to reign and rule. What comparable accomplishment could be attributed to the black nigger race? Or the barbaric Indian? If it were not for the benevolent intervention of the more cultured and superior white Aryan race would not the nigger still be found haunting the jungles of the world, fearing the thunder, wearing bones in their noses. Would not the Indians still be found wandering the plains in the most backwards state, pursuing buffalo as did their most primitive ancestors.

Yes, the true glory of the Master Race has been revealed, and was it not true that none of this glory would have become manifest if it were not for the vision of visionaries who first took the battle to the Jew. Yes, it is true, that no great advance in the cultural and civilization of Europe would have been possible without it being a first requirement that the Aryan race rise up to their historic task and engage in victorious struggle with the Jew and that most primitive abomination which was the creation of the deviant Jew, that Jew God. No great advancement in science was possible without the Aryan race first being found in bloody battle to throw off the imposed backwardness of that filthy creation, the Jew God. From the victorious rise of the Aryan we can gain confidence which will strengthen us in the struggles to come, for the battle against the Jew continues to this day, and it is the struggle to throw off everything backwards, everything rotten and corrupt and primitive. Here we can see that the great defining struggle of our age is the battle between the Aryan Master Race and their implacable enemies, the Jews. The entire future of the human race hangs in the balance awaiting the outcome of this greatest of historical struggles. Will the flower of humanity blossom and produce the fresh fruits of a higher and more civilized culture or will the Jew prevail and drag the human race back to the primitive level of the cave dwelling savage?

What has been the contribution to human culture of that most primitive of races, the Jews? Does there remain any thinking person who has freed themselves from the malignant clutches of the Jew who might still consider those ridiculous backwards Jew stories to be a contribution to the canon of the philosophers? Yet, despite it all, somehow the Jew has managed to pollute the planet with that primitive chatter so that almost no place remains clean. Such is the true contribution of that evolutionary abortion, the Jew. The Jew debases and pollutes the culture of every race they encounter. One may only need to survey this planet and see the enormity of the damage that has been done by those Jews and their primitive stories to be able to see clearly and understand clearly the true nature of that most dangerous of creatures, the Jew.

Even though it has been clearly seen that the Jew has been that most destructive of creatures, polluting the human mind and debasing the human civilization throughout recorded history, nevertheless there are still those who would consider allowing Jews to roam freely in every country. Any sane ruler who found himself in possession of the power to do so, would not hesitate to begin immediately the task of separating the Jews and isolating the Jews, so as to avoid the further spread of their contagion. For a look at the debased state of human civilization on this planet provides all the evidence one needs to open ones eyes wide so that for the very first time a person would see the Jew for what the Jew really is, the carrier of an infectious contagion. They are like vermin, like rats who carry the plague and the result of the practice of allowing the free roaming of the Jews from nation to nation has been the most calamitous fall in the level of human culture as the most rotten superstitions are fed into the addled heads of a human race apparently helpless before the filthy schemes of those dirty rotten Jews.

Has there ever been a story to foul or filthy that it would cause the face of a Jew to blush. Apparently there is no story to idiotic that it would not be considered a philosophical precept by such a primitive and underdeveloped creature, such as the Jew. And yet, despite the truth, which is impossible to conceal, so great is the primitive stench, nevertheless the more developed races, and even superior White Aryans will be found sitting upon the lap and sucking on the teat of some Jew while that Jew reads them little fairy tales, and it as though the human race somehow that this hideous parasite, the Jew, was a nursemaid. The Jew only tells the people these fables because the Jew knows that is what they want to hear.

It is not obvious that no more incorrigible liar has ever existed than that most practiced of deceitful liars, the Jew. There is no shameful or reprehensible falsehood which will not flow as though it were honey from the lying lips of the Jew. The Jew is the most damnable of liars, and yet despite the ridiculous lengths the Jew will go to in making up those ridiculous Jew stories, there are still those who show themselves idiotic enough to regard such primitive backwards nonsense to be worthy of a philosophical debate. While the philosophers dabble and preach, meanwhile the Jew continues on free to perjure and then perjure again, while all the while continually poisoning one generation after another with the filthy rotten superstitions spread about by those malformed Neanderthals, the Jews.

Truly the Jew is like some idiotic relative that a family might hide in the attic so that no one would know that their family was capable of giving birth to such idiocy. Yet, the Jew, idiot that he is, is allowed to roam freely and go about his business of destroying the human race. Truly the Jew is like an evolutionary abortion, a malformed and subhuman species that to this day continues to wallow in primitive prehistoric rottenness, and they spread this rottenness much as a cancerous tumor spreads until it consumes and destroys the entire body. So it has been with the Jews and that fossil they have dragged into the modern age, the Jew God, and now every culture and every almost every civilization in the world has been befouled by the filthy taint caused by the pusillanimous touch of that parasite, the Jew.

Can anyone imagine any sight more appalling that to see nature’s noblest creature, a White Aryan, a privileged member of the Chosen Master Race, gripped with the mental hysteria caused by Jew Mania, as the sight of that entrenched hive of Jews in the Middle East addles their brains yet one more time with fanciful visions of the arrival of that primitive Jew God. Apparently the world can never be free of such backwardness as long as even one Jew remains alive on this planet. It is for this reason that we must be hard and we must be ruthless, for it has become apparent, yes, history has taught us this lesson as well, that the human race will never respond to reason nor will they do what must be done with a willing heart. Therefore, force must be used. The human race will be forced into the new world that is coming. Where the babbling of the philosopher has failed, we will succeed, if we are hard enough. Ruthless measures must be taken. The Final Solution to the Jewish problem is simple enough at the end of it all. No Jew, no more Jew God, no more problem.

Therefore, given the disgusting state of affairs in the world today, and given that International Jewry continues to hold large swaths of this planet within their filthy grasping claws, it becomes apparent that only one course of action remains if the Aryan is to achieve the final victory and raise the cultural level of humanity to the glorious heights which is its destiny. In the past the Jew was free to infect the human race for generation after generation with the most primitive forms of backwardness and rotten superstitions concerning the gods who were the idols of our cave dwelling ancestors. They did this because for centuries past there was to be found no one with the determination or the simple common decency to take action and do something about those Neanderthals, those parasites, the Jews. Europe has become Jew Free, but the battle continues. A planet awaits its liberation. The time of the Jew has passed. The victory of the Aryan Superman is inevitable. Only be strong and courageous. Victory is certain. The new world awaits, a world free of the taint of primitive superstitions concerning gods. No more will the human race be found worshipping those detestable idols. The twilight of the idols has fallen.

If the filthy plots of those Jews were to come to fruition they would soon enough have humanity back in caves worshipping bundles of sticks and mud. Truly the Jew has been to the human race like a ship attempting to sail while at the same time dragging an anchor along the ocean floor. The solution is to cut off the anchor.

Look at the debased state of the culture of the human race. Is it not a sorry sight. In countries all over the world there are people found worshipping those bundles of sticks and mud, and they will not willingly let them go. They Jew, filthy creatures that they are, know this and the Jew will never stop poisoning the well, not so long as one Jew remains alive on this planet. Cut off the root and the whole tree falls. Both the Church and the Mosque are build upon the faulty foundation provided by that Jew. When the foundation is destroyed, all that was built upon will also collapse. Where the philosophers have failed, the strong man will succeed. All that is required is a man with a will or iron who posses the ruthlessness required to be hard with the human race. The human race is like a child requiring stern correction.

It is therefore obvious that the greatest act of decency, the greatest gift that could ever be given to humanity at this present time, would be for a great man to arise, a savior, someone strong enough and ruthlessness enough to wipe out that entrenched hive of Jews in the middle east. This would be an act of grace. In one hour the world had changed. The hour before the old world was found writing in its labor pains, struggling to give birth to modernity. In the next hour the world was dazzled by the blinding light. The New World was born and there was now no going back. The Jew was gone, and now even the most deceived and gullible were forced to face the truth. The spell of the Jew was broken. As time went by, and no Jew God was seen, it would be the end of everything primitive and the last trace of everything backwards would be purged and finally destroyed.

Yes, after the Jews are destroyed, and the world goes on, the generations come and go, and no one sees that Jew God, even the most gullible will no longer be found bowing down before the altars of ancestors. The gods will perish. A new world of modernity will be born. History will look back graciously upon the man who kills the Jews. They will reckon time by his passing. Just as they reckoned time by that idol of theirs, Jesus Christ, and spoke of time as being divided into eras, before Christ and After Christ, so they will honor the man who kills the Jew by marking off time based upon the glorious day of the birth of the true savior of humanity, the hard man who out of love for his fellow human beings, had the harshness to do what was required by killing the Jew and bringing salvation and redemption to a struggling humanity, by ridding the world of that Jew..

High Priest

2007-12-15T09:17:00.001-08:00

I have made up my mind not to harass the Vatican or the Catholic Church any more. I think enough has been said, and I have been shocking enough to satisfy God's desire to send someone real shocking to the Vatican and to the Catholic Church, therefore, enough is enough.

However I did want to make one last point. Who is this Pope? This Pope is the High Priest, and he is wearing a filthy robe and he has a filthy turban upon his head.

Now someone might ask what it is that I say that the Pope is wearing a filthy turban on his head. Such a question would leave me frustrated, but I can well imagine that someone might ask such a question since apparently the people on this planet are easily baffled. They just don't use any simple common sense, and as a result of this bad practice, they have become quite stupid concerning the things of God. Somehow they failed to see the dirty turban. What is so shocking to me is that the turban is dirty and its plain to see. How could people be so incurably consistently stupid?

Now let us consider one of the favorite topics of the Popes. Really old church fathers from the first four centuries. The Golden Age, you might say. It was so close to the source of it all. Not like today, no, it was close and not far, far away as it is today. It is that closeness that gives these glorious centuries that golden glow.

Let us put aside golden glows for a moment and start thinking straight for a change. Consider the Bible. Now consider God. Yes, God, apparently, so people say, is supposed to take complete and full credit for the Bible. That is what people sometimes say, and they used to say it more often when there was more people saying it, as was the case with ancestors who said such things all the time and in such overwhelming numbers. God has never been known to say such things. God has never been known to say anything at all. There are those who would say God said something. You will just have to take their word for it. God never says something to everyone, so that, finally, at long last, it could be said that God said something and there would be nothing to argue about later because, you see, everyone knew that God said something. This was followed by silence. There was nothing to dispute and so there was no dispute. We conclude that when there is a dispute that means that, obviously, God had not settled that dispute. God as we know, says nothing at all. God shows no mercy.

It is for this reason that we have the Bible. We need the Bible because we must give up all hope of ever hearing even a single word from the mouth of God. God is pitiless.

Now let us open this Bible, and when we do, if we are showing some simple common sense, we will notice that the sacred table is covered with vomit and filth is everywhere. Pits and traps and deadly snares mark the path. As I said, one must open a Bible to confirm that what I am saying is the truth. The truth is obvious. There is no divine mystery here. The truth about the Bible is hard to miss. It is blasphemous in the sight of God.

Now once again I feel the need to review certain facts about the Bible, just in case someone wants to quarrel with me about the turban, and now the Bible, as I say, all covered with vomit, so that nothing remains clean. I am sure that there are those who might want to quarrel with me about that one. So let us review and make the point plain.

Kill all the women and kill every little boy, but keep the virgins for yourselves.

That one comes from the book of Numbers. Now given that I have already conducted a recent review of such material in my lecture notes, I do not feel the need to carry on about it all again right now. Besides, it sickens my stomach to think about it all. I would like to try to forget.

At this point I will assume that students have their lecture notes, and thus are able to review for themselves more examples of the dreadful blasphemies found in the Bible.

We might compare the Bible to Mein Kampff. Both documents were written by maniacs with a similar genocidal agenda, who were planning to wage wars of extermination so that they might plunder and conquer.

Now let us assume that from time to time, the King turns out to be a maniacal bastard. As we know, that does happen from time to time. It is just one of those things that you know must happen every now and then when you have a King. Such a King would find the Bible to be quite useful. Here we are assuming that this King who liked the Bible, and decided to make it some kind of royal book in his kingdom, and for all kingdoms to come, did so because the King and God had the same agenda. The general idea here was that the King would go out and do all the stuff written down in the Bible, because the King was working together with God on that project, you see.

Something like this must have happened and this explains how we would up getting the bible, and not some holy book like people theorized we were supposed to be getting from God, to make up for the fact that God was pissed off, and thus not on face to face speaking terms with any human being on earth.

Someone might wonder just how pissed off God could get because God was given full copyright ownership over that literary production we call the Holy Bible. Now we know that our ancestors had the Bible and they had no God. Little more needs to be said.

Now what we wound up with was some book covered the most offensive vomit, and this book was voted into existence by the Church Fathers. Apparently there must have been something wrong with their heads. They actually gave God the middle finger and just went right ahead and canonized the Bible. This did this even though they themselves knew that the Bible was not just a little bad. The Bible was polluted with unadulterated wickedness of the very vilest sort.

The best thing that could be said about a church father is that they were about as stupid as anyone else on this planet. They were idiotic when it came to things of God. This is the best thing that we could say, and the worst thing that we could say, I don't want to say. It sickens me just thinking about it. I would rather not.

Now to return to my previous point, and give it some more emphasis, I will once again insist that it is obvious that the Pope must be wearing a filthy turban, because he has the Bible, and that doesn't bother him to much, not enough to give the thing a good toss. He also has the Church Fathers, and believes those rosy days so long ago were some kind of Golden Age, even though, as we can easily tell, back in those days people went around routinely puking their vomit onto Bibles, and then, our ancestors became like dogs returning to their puke, and they decided to eat that pile of puke just like dogs eat their own puke, and so they voted on that vomit and raised it up to the status of sacred canon. Keep in mind that this is particularly filthy vomit, the worst kind. It is obvious that the Pope is wearing a very filthy turban. He also fails to see properly. In this he is much like anyone else, as far as I can tell. They can't see. Their High Priest can't see. Everyone is blind. They are the blind following the blind.

Out of all the sons she gave birth to, she could not find even one who was able to guide her. They all led her astray.

They gave us the Bible. YAHWEH is God. That was a mistake.

I thought I might address one complaint that this Pope has, as far as it concerns me. Why am I not like the holy men, asks the Pope. Now it was appropriate for Saint Joe to go into the monastery and live a sober life of quiet reflection and prayer, and thus earn for himself the reputation as being someone who would do something like that. You see, Saint Joe was an exile living in exile. The God of Saint Joe was a pitiless son of a bitch, who had given Saint Joe that same message God gave everyone in those days "Fuck you, Joe,' said God. "Drop dead, Joe,' said God.

This whole business of being an exile, and thus going into deep and humble prayers and hymn singing, these things I know nothing about. I am like David. You won't find me in a monastery because I have never had any reason to be found in such a place. I do not know the exile. My God is not far away. My God is close at hand. I do not behave like Saint Joe. I have no reason to mourn. My thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways. Nor should they be. We come from two different worlds. Never can these two worlds meet. The One would annihilate the other. The God of the Dead will cease to exist. The God of the Living will come.

God raises the middle finger

2007-12-15T09:14:00.000-08:00

Throughout human history, as far as we can tell, just about any monstrous thing could happen to a human being, and no one could ever expect any mercy from God, nor could there ever find any hope for salvation or deliverance from the wicked who were destroying them. Not in this world. They could be run down by the Hun or women and little children could be hacked to death by Ghengis Khan, among so many other dreadful and sickening things, those sorry ends that so very many sorry people came to and for such a very very long long time.

If God exists then we know that whenever we see human suffering that tell us that it must be true that God is a ruthless son of a bitch. The alternative hypothesis would be that God does not exist, for if there was a God, and a God was seen to tolerate even the most sickening acts of wickedness, this would be better interpreted as evidence that no God exists, for if there was a God how could this have happened?

After long ages of time have gone past, religious gives birth to atheism.

How do we interpret what we have seen? Now, for some reason when people think about God, they never use any common sense. They can be sensible dealing with each other, but when it comes to God, they become quite stupid, perhaps it might not be to far off the mark to even say that they become totally brainless, for some strange reason.

Now let's suppose that you have a friend, or at least you thought you had a friend, and your family was being slowly butchered by a maniac, they were getting picked off one at a time, and your so called friend knew all about this, was in a position to intervene, and yet, you discovered, your friend did nothing. I think most people would feel very pissed off about this matter, and I think they would get some kind of message about that friend of theirs. Apparently, that friend of yours said fuck you to you and fuck you to your entire family, too.

We should show some common sense and recognize the fact that God is like the false friend in the parable above, and the message of God for all of humanity for thousands of years was 'fuck you and fuck your family, too.'

Now, someone might ask, 'why would God be telling the human race to go fuck themselves for a few thousands years?' My answer would have to be that a few thousands years would be about how long it would take for God to tell the human race to fuck off and then, finally, have the human race accept that God had told them to fuck off, the reason being that after having been told to fuck right off so many times finally the message got through.

This then is the true divine message of God : Fuck you, and fuck all your religions, too. Yes, fuck them and fuck them yet again, says God, until finally they are royally thoroughly fucked. You are doomed, says God, and fuck you if you don't like it, you fucking little collection of bastards.

Having received a message from God as bad as that one, and having received so consistently for such a very long time, it then follows that whoever should still be stubborn about religion and willing to quarrel with God about it, gets what they deserve. You see, once again, if we use simple common sense when dealing with the things of God, we would know that God is going to be supremely pissed off if that thousands of years thing didn't work. It then just follows that God will then attempt to get it all done in an afternoon. This would not be something you would want, and you should see that, and maybe you would see that if you would bring to mind just what a miserable ruthless son of a bitch God has been.

There has been no salvation and no deliverance in this world. We can conclude that all religious doctrines of salvation and deliverance are discredited. They have been disowned by God for as we know God offers no salvation and no deliverance from evil. There are those proclaim a God of good fortune, who favors the few. However whatever small favors God gives to the few are taken away soon enough when they find themselves surrounded by evil. The days will be evil, and evil will prevail on the earth for a very long time, and God will do nothing.

God offers no salvation. Only religion does that. We can conclude that religion is rebellion against God, for what God so persistently and stubbornly refuses to do, and what God does most consistently, never wavering from that singular purpose, that very thing is the thing that religion is found to be doing. Religion does what God does not. What God does, religion does not do. These two are in opposition to each other.

It is for this reason that God has sent to speak to religion someone as notoriously rude and disorderly as myself. This is what is known as a point of emphasis. God wants to emphasize that previous point, the one about not wanting to participate in any religion. Therefore God has chosen to emphasize the point about not liking religion by making damn sure to send religion someone they really won't like. Someone deeply shocking to them. Someone like me.

That is step one. Step two is another one of those points of emphasis I mentioned previously. That's the step where, even though it wasn't supposed to happen, God then appeared and made that same damnable point over again, this time with special emphais, thus ensuring that enough emphasis got put onto that point so as to, hopefully, this time, after such a fucking long, long time, finally, at long last that point of emphasis got made.

Hopefully that will be the end of it, and there will be no more quarreling with God and forcing God to make another one of those points of emphasis. As we know so very well from our past experiences with God, it has never been a problem for God to toss even millions and millions of people into the jaws of wickedness. This sort of thing happens all the time, and so therefore, if we were to once again use simple common sense, we would draw the conclusion that it probably wouldn't be much of a problem next Tuesday, nor would it be a problem on the fifth of June six years ago or six years from now.

Iraq

2007-12-14T09:34:00.001-08:00

The hidden holocaust Part 2

The announcement of British mandate rule in Iraq in 1920 led to widespread indigenous revolts, which were ruthlessly suppressed by British forces. That year, then Secretary of State for War and Air, Winston Churchill, proposed that Mesopotamia “could be cheaply policed by aircraft armed with gas bombs, supported by as few as 4,000 British and 10,000 Indian troops.” His proposal was formally adopted the next year at the Cairo conference, and Iraqi villages were bombed from the air. [Edward Greer, ‘The Hidden History of the Iraq War,’ Monthly Review, May 1991]

This policy in Iraq -- which included both the colonial phase of direct rule and the transition to effective indirect rule under decolonisation -- was candidly described by Lord George Curzon, then British Foreign Secretary, who noted that what the UK and other Western powers desired in the Middle East was an:

“Arab facade ruled and administered under British guidance and controlled by a native Mohammedan and, as far as possible, by an Arab staff. . . . There should be no actual incorporation of the conquered territory in the dominions of the conqueror, but the absorption may be veiled by such constitutional fictions as a protectorate, a sphere of influence, a buffer state and so on.” [William Stivers, Supremacy and Oil: Iraq, Turkey, and the Anglo-American World Order, 1918-1930, Cornell University Press, Ithaca, 1982, p. 28, 34]

In Cairo, Damascus, Tehran and Baghdad, American agents marshalled opponents of the Iraqi regime,” notes the NY Times. “Washington set up a base of operations in Kuwait, intercepting Iraqi communications and radioing orders to rebels. The United States armed Kurdish insurgents.” Former Ba’athist leader Hani Fkaiki has confirmed that Saddam Hussein -- then a 25-year-old who had fled to Cairo after attempting to assassinate Kassim in 1958 -- was colluding with the CIA at this time. [Aburish, op. cit.]

Thus, two gruesome CIA military coups brought the genocidal Ba’ath party, and with it Saddam Hussein, to power, in order to protect US strategic and economic interests.

Using United Nations data and the concept of “excess mortality” -- “the difference between actual deaths in a country and the deaths expected for a peaceful, decently run country with the same demographics” -- Polya calculates that since 1950, 5.2 million Iraqis died during the period in which the CIA and MI6 were fostering coups, installing and re-installing dictators, until Saddam himself obtained power [Gideon Polya, “Iraq Death Toll Amounts to a Holocaust," Australasian Science (June 2004, p. 43); Polya, Body Count: Global avoidable mortality since 1950 (Melbourne: LaTrobe, 2007)]

In 1989, a year after the attacks, the US government doubled its annual Commodity Credit Corporation aid to Saddam to more than US$1 billion. A declassified National Security directive issued by then President Bush Snr. in October that year prioritised the provision of funds and technology to Saddam’s regime, describing it as the “West’s policeman in the region.”

Of the several credible academic studies of civilian deaths in Iraq in the post-2003 invasion period, the most rigorous was the epidemiological study, published in Lancet, by John Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, which estimated 655,000 excess Iraqi civilian deaths due to the war.

The ORB poll found that 1.2 million Iraqi civilians had been murdered since the invasion. [Tina Susman, “Poll: Civilian Death Toll in Iraq May Top 1 Million," Los Angeles Times (14 September 2007)]

These are staggering figures. They suggest that since 1991, the total civilian death toll in Iraq as a consequence of Anglo-American invasions, socio-economic deprivation and occupation amount to a total of 3 million.

The ORB findings tally with those of the John Hopkins team, whose data-set, according to independent experts such as Australia biochemist Dr. Gideon Polya, calculated for a year later confirms at least one million post-2003 Iraqi deaths due to the war.

The ruthlessness of the market

The Hidden Holocaust
"In India, between 5.5 and 12 million people died in an artificially-induced famine, although millions of tonnes of grains were in commercial circulation. Rice and wheat production had been above average for the previous three years, but most of the surplus had been exported to England. “Londoners were in effect eating India’s bread.” Under “free market” rules, between 1877 and 1878, grain merchants exported a record 6.4 million hundredweight of wheat to Europe while millions of Indian poor starved to death.

Crucially, Davis argues that these people died “not outside the modern world system, but in the very process of being forcibly incorporated into its economic and political structures. They died in the golden age of liberal capitalism; many were murdered by the application of utilitarian free trade principles.”"

Capital Formation and the Slave Trade

2007-12-14T07:15:00.000-08:00

When people refer to a 'third world debt' what is forgotten is how much was stolen and then never repaid, so that a correct balance sheet would indicate a debit rather than a credit.

The hidden holocaust ...
"University of Essex sociologist Robin Blackburn has demonstrated convincingly the centrality of capitalism to the growth of new world slavery, arguing that the profits of slavery accumulated in the “triangular trade” between Europe, Africa and America contributed fundamentally to Britain’s industrialization. For instance, the profits from triangular trade for 1770 would have provided from 20.9 to 55 per cent of Britain’s gross fixed capital formation. [Robin Blackburn, The Making of New World Slavery: From the Baroque to the Modern, 1492-1800 (London: Verso), p. 572.]"

Suck a Lemon

2007-12-14T00:07:00.000-08:00

You know, over the years, I have watched as some tragic peasant was starved out or otherwise ruthlessly oppressed by Fu Manchu, while all the good hearted types of the world were left to harden their hearts and adopt that tough son of a bitch attitude, or be left with ashes in their mouths and deep mourning as their portion. As I watched all this, over the years, it seemed to me that God was a ruthless son of a bitch, perhaps something like Frankenstein, or like Godzilla, trampling down buses and pushing down skyscrapers and crushing Tokyo beneath those giant clawed feet.

Yes I thought that I was splitting a suite with Frankenstein, which came as quite a shock to me, for I had come out of a post-Christian culture and was therefore stupidly addled in my head and was trained to think of God as being like Santa, or perhaps a real nice parental type figure like my mom, and here it turned out that YAHWEH, the God of ancient Israel really was God, and that God was some kind of ferocious monster of some sort.

Well the years went by, and I began to realize that the plan of God was that these people would be left to their own evil devices, and therefore our ancestors could suck a lemon, a real sour lemon, a very, very sour lemon. "Oh, give us a King," they said, and so in anger YAHWEH handed them over to their King and left them to worship upon their High Places.

I also saw that our ancestors were a stupid, brainless people. Even a dog, when it is trained for a month or two, learns something from the experience, but our ancestors never learned a damn thing. A more stupid or stubborn creature would be hard to imagine.

One of the big problems that our ancestors had is that they wanted to have their cake and eat it, too. Now as you might have heard it said, you should be careful what you prayer for, because you might get it. So then, if our ancestors would cry out, 'oh give us a King', well, then because YAHWEH is God, that means they will get a King, even if that turned out to be a very bad idea. It turns out that they wanted a religion as well, and they could have that religion, because it was what they wanted at the time, and so they could eat that cake of theirs, because they had baked that cake so they could eat it and so they did. However they also wanted to have a cake, and because YAHWEH is God, it turns out that either you can have a cake or you can eat a cake, but not both at the same time. So therefore they had their King and they build up their High Places and offering their sacrifices there, when that King wasn't going on a rampage and chopping them to pieces with some sword in one of those maniacal conquests, and they also found the time to have a little religion, but they what they did not have was YAHWEH, but that didn't matter because they had already decided that God was the God of the dead and lived up in a place called 'Heaven' and so therefore the fact that they had no God was perfectly normalized for those idiots and was formalized as well becoming doctrines which then became dogmatic dogmas. God was up in heaven and all was right with their world, except for those times when it wasn't right, in which they would complain ('oh, if there was a God how could it happen?')

Now as it turned out, you can have a God up in heaven or you can have a God down here, and given how our ancestors, as we can tell from their dogmatism, selected a God up in heaven because they obviously did not want a God down here. It could also be true that after enough time went by spent with that good for nothing promise breaking do nothing god of theirs up in heaven they drew the conclusion that there was no god at all up in heaven, or, at the very least, the whole thing was debatable, and this would then encourage them to forget about having a god down here, since that you see is just utterly impossible. They would keep that god up in heaven and just roll the dice, and thus they adjusted their idiotic dogmatism accordingly so that guessing whether or not there was a god up in heaven then became the dogmatic plan of salvation, even though such a sadistic plot could only have originated in the mind of some miserable and ungenerous son of a bitch and not a very nice parental God who is just like your mom or your granny.

Yes, our ancestors were left to suck a lemon, and for that reason I have no tolerance at all for some modern day version of a similar type moron who extols our glorious traditions, as though we actually had a glorious tradition, which would seem to not be the case as you can tell by examining the ruinous mess of suffering and desperate poverty and oppression that we inherited from that collection of ruinous morons, our recklessly stupid and atrociously rebellious ancestors.

One of the great advantages of leaving our ancestors to suck that lemon for one hell of a hell of a long long time is that at the end of it all it is possible to take stock and do a thorough evaluation of just how wonderful those great fucking ideas really were, and as we can tell by the ruinous mess we must now work on repairing, those really were some atrociously fucked up ideas, which makes one wonder why our ancestors were brainless enough to quarrel with YAHWEH in the first place. It also makes one wonder why some modern version of a similar moron would waste any molecules of air by forcing those molecules through a larynx so as to make some pointless and futile argument in defense of the indefensible by attempting to defend our ancestors and their contradictory and fucked up traditions.

The High Places

2007-12-13T23:22:00.001-08:00

Probably no people in the world have been more revolutionary throughout long recorded history than the Chinese people. The history of China is the history of one revolution followed by another followed by another going back far into history. That most recent revolution when the Chinese people ran off after that Chairman Mao can only be understood within the context of the long history of China, since the Mao revolution was not some kind of historical first, but rather it was one of a long line of such revolutions in China, and it is also interesting for how it parallels the previous revolutions in China. What would happen is that the Chinese people would have a revolution, and then they would build up the High Places and the next thing you know they would be brutally oppressed by the Manchu dynasty. It is a common characteristic of Chinese revolutions that they would become convinced that the problem was not that they were building the high places and then offering their sacrifices and worship there, but rather the problem was that they needed somebody else up on that high place, such as a Manchu or perhaps a Chairman Mao. Then everything would be fine. Remarkably, no matter how many times they repeated that pattern of behavior they never seemed to be able to come to the conclusion that a high place is not a good place to be offering sacrifices nor should people be found worshiping at the high places. You might want to try that experiment of changing the oppressor at the top a few times and then perhaps, one might think, the human race would begin to grasp the elementary concept and learn that what is required is not a pyramid structure but rather a flat horizontal structure, for otherwise they will find themselves enslaved and building up those pyramids for some ambitious wannabe Pharoah.

You see those High Places everywhere, and it would appear that one of the functions of religion throughout history was to ensure that people did not wander off but would in fact be encouraged generation after generation to learn absolutely zero from accumulated human experience with those high places. We are told in some gospel that this 'Jesus' told his disciples that they were not to build up the High Places. "You must not call anyone on earth 'Father'", he told them, 'for you have only one Father, who is God." The term 'father' is used to indicate a type of patriarchal authority figure and so we can see that what this 'Jesus' was telling his disciples was that they were not to create a hierarchical church structure ruled over by the Pope, who, as we all know, is also referred to as 'the Holy Father', while even the most junior grade priest at that church is referred to as 'father', an indication of the authority invested in even some junior grade priest as compared to 'the laity'.

As that 'Jesus' told his disciples, "you know that among the heathen nations their rulers lord it over them and those who are considered great and powerful among them are thought as being 'benefactors', but it must not be like that among you, for the greatest among you will be like a servant." One of the common themes of the Vatican is to encourage people to turn to the High Places while at the same time encouraging the Pharaoh on top at that high place to behave like a benefactor, thus helping to keep that whole scam going for another generation, by encouraging people to learn nothing from accumulated history but rather to continue to think of high places as being good places and any problems encountered there would then be the fault of a bad Fu Manchu. This sort of delusional thinking can only be encouraged if Pharoah takes the advice of some Pope or some preacher and agrees to behave like a benefactor, thus lulling the human race to sleep so that no one will begin to think that perhaps the problem was not to be found in the occasional Fu Manchu but rather the problem might be that there was this High Place, you see, and so therefore Fu Manchu was able to get away with murder since he was able to punch all those buttons and push all those levers which had been so generously donated to Fu and which Fu Manchu would require if he was to do his thing up on that High Place built for him by the human race.

Now as we can tell that Catholic Church is really no church at all, and really, when you consider the stark naked hypocrisy of that outfit, devoted as it is to the High Places in general (even though the Vatican is quite capable of attacking Fu Manchu, which is lauded by mobs as a sign of moral values, when actually the truth of the matter is that it is required that Fu Manchu be attacked if the sanctity of the High Places is to be preserved since it is required that the human race remain utterly stupid and ignorant if the High Places are to survive, and so therefore it is very important to attack Fu Manchu so that the Chinese peasants will then place Mao on the high place at which time they will be found living in a kind of ideal paradise from that time on because they had Father Mao rather than Stepdad Fu as their Pharaoh.)

The problem is not however restricted to the Catholic Church, although in the case of the Catholic Church the rancid hypocrisy is exposed in its most naked form (here I am referring to all that bullshit about communing in the bodily presence of that 'jesus' who apparently wanted to appear in the form of a snack cracker, and carrying on about 'preaching the gospel' and lots of that exorbitant piety so characteristic of both Pharisees and Catholic priests, combined with not giving a damn about what that 'Jesus' had to say, because, you see, they are just going to damn well do it anyways regardless, and as for that bastard Jesus, he can take his advice and stuff it up his own ass, because, you see, a joint like the Vatican is just not going to be doing what he said. They just won't, period. End of story. Just not going to happen. Quite the contrary really.)

In the case of that Roman Catholicism what we have is an outfit that is so atrociously rebellious and hypocritical that, quite frankly, given the serious break with the apostolic tradition we see manifested in the behavior of such a mob of gangster Pharisees, it is very hard to imagine how such an outfit could even be called a church in any proper sense of the term. However the problem is not only a Catholic problem, for although we see a little less of that stark naked hypocrisy in Protestant denominations, in that they sensibly ditched the Pope some centuries back, nevertheless all those Protestants did was to follow the traditional line of reasoning, and they did the typical Chinese thing, for they dumped Fu Manchu, the Pope, and now they are found visiting such High Places as the United Nations and will found making all their sacrifices and offerings there in the presence of Pharaohs, since, apparently, according to that line of reasoning, if you are having a problem getting anything at all done for the sake of humanity by appealing to your home Pharaoh, the logical solution is to appeal to a big pile of Pharaohs. Perhaps it is a numbers game. I don't know. About all that I can say for sure is that a study of history and when we consider results we can see that encouraging people to make one appeal and one sacrifice and offering and give up multiple acts of worship to multiple Pharaohs does not work and does not produce results any better than just offering all those sacrifices and offerings and worship at home to some home Pharaoh. You can see clear examples of this sort of thing when multiple Pharaohs agreed to halve child poverty by the year 2000, in response to many offerings and sacrifices offered up to the multiple Pharaohs by churches and NGO outfits, and then when the year 2000 came along it turned out that child malnourishment had actually doubled during the time frame of that supposed project, which is the polar opposite of being cut in half. As for not getting rid of it altogether, but just cutting child starvation in half, and taking a few decades to get around to doing it, one must suppose that even those who offer sacrifices to multiple Pharaohs at one great big and very, very High High Place, do understand that getting anything at all out of some Pharaoh on some high place is next to impossible, as history and the current resultant state of the world so clearly demonstrate, so therefore it would be best to be less ambitious.

Now good hearted people might want to pitch in and help out, and so there will always be a place for those worthless charitable donations, which as we know are only good for show, say, for example, in saving a fraction of one percent of the world's millions of hungering and neglected street orphans who have become the victims of late term abortions. As bad as the idea is of encouraging private charitable donations as a panacea for having Fu Manchu on some High Place, nevertheless it is still encouraged for good hearted people cannot do much else for their ancestors built up the High Places and now, as good hearted people know, they have been enslaved and disenfranchised and now there is nothing they can do except perhaps to exhaust themselves playing Don Quixote and by tilting at windmills, or they can join the sensible sorts who no longer give a damn and don't bother participating in scams, and will then be found watching television or puttering in gardens and joining the growing majority who no longer bother to vote.

Funding Scientific Research

Good Calories, Bad Calories "Funding agencies like to support studies that will give positive results, and they like to support studies that themselves support the beliefs of the funding agents -- i.e., the dogma. So it's hard to get money to really test a hypothesis, because such a test implies that you might find out that your hypothesis is wrong and not worth pursuing further. And it's certainly hard to get money to pursue a hypothesis that conflicts with the establishment's beliefs, because everyone involved with deciding whether your grant proposal is worth funding will also believe that you're dead wrong about what you say, and so why bother spending money to find out? The result is a world in which, in general, the funding helps to assure that only established beliefs are tested, and when they are, that they're confirmed -- whether they're actually right or not."

The Solar Hot Plate and the Solar Lamp

2007-12-13T22:23:00.000-08:00

Among the advantages that phosphorescent medium has over silicon semiconductors as a solar energy source is that the phosphorescent medium is a natural solar collector, a type of big sponge that soaks up solar energy with relative ease, and the phosphorescent medium also incorporates its own battery and so could function as a storage medium for energy as well, whereas with silicon you would require a separate battery or otherwise you would be restricted to using the energy produced by the silicon device only 'on demand' and then only when time and day and weather permitted.

The advantage of silicon is that when you want a charged electron you can get a charged electron and that is not going to be a really big problem. With the phosphorescent medium you pretty much have to resort to an armed robbery and an assualt so as to rob that phosphorescent atom of an electron at gun point if a charged electron was what you wanted.

However sometimes you want to feud and fight with a phosphorescent medium while at other times you might want to adopt a more cooperative approach. There are times when a photon might come in handy.

One example of this would be the solar lamp. The lamp charges up during daylight hours and then releases its photons to provide light at night. The solar lamp would be a device which could depend upon doping in order to function, since we know that doping can increase the battery life and prolong the release. We also know that doping results in red, green, and blue phosphorescence, and as you know when you look at a television screen or a computer monitor (RGB or 'red green blue' devices) you can make any color, including white light, by combining red, green and blue. We can therefore picture the solar lamp as being composed of long lasting, slow release doped phosphorescent material. It is at this point that we need to consider emulating the silicon solar collector and we have to consider perhaps an 'NPN' or "PNP' type of arrangement. Here I am picturing in my mind the way that in a silicon type solar cell can have the charge carriers separated by employing layers of material with different electrical properties. The purpose would be to once again emulate the way a plant employs a type of cascade effect to move an electrical charge away from the surface and into storage down below so as to keep the surface area free and ready to collect more photons. I am also assuming that it would be possible to create this type of leaky battery using only doped phosphorescent materials and the correct circuit arrangement of layers of material, which would simplify the device and exclude such elements as magnetics and resonating circuits, since we are now cooperating with the phosphorescent material and are willing to accept a photon as an output. Along with this idea we can also think about incorporating a switch (on / off) since the device begins to resemble a transistor of sorts.

A second device we can imagine constructing would be the 'solar hot plate'. Keep in mind that one of the big reasons that trees get chopped down by the populations in poorer areas of the world is meet energy requirements, and then because the watershed is destroyed over time, this then results in floods when it rains and the washing away of valuable soils and so on. A solar hot plate would also rely upon the release of photons, and in this case we would have to imagine a device engineered to release infrared, or we could imagine including in our design a substance that when bombarded with photons reacts by heating up. One possible design concept that has occurred to me is that the hot plate element would function as a type of solar collector, heating up when placed in the sun. Now below this plate and enclosed in a container would be hidden our phosphorescent based storage battery, for some of the heat collected by the hot plate would radiate downwards from the bottom of the heated plate into the container. At this point we have to imagine that we have a phosphorescent collector which is sensitive to infrared radiation. Therefore the device becomes like a heat sink and later on when it is 'turned on' it begins to release the stored energy in the form of infrared radiation, heating the cooking plate from the bottom up.

Cheaper than Coal? More discussion of a phosphorescent solar cell

2007-12-13T07:19:00.000-08:00

The following is a continuing discussion of the development of a solar cell based upon phosphorescence begun in my first post on the subject located here.

The Auger Effect, Resonance, and Ionization

In my previous post I discussed employing an effect similar to that used in a laser in order to create an amplified electrical current.

One of the problems with my discussion of this topic is confusion on my part concerning the process of ‘ionization’ and so therefore I wanted to say a few words about this subject so that no one else will be confused by my confusion on the subject.

In the process of ionization an electron is stripped or ‘kicked out’ of an atom. An electron is not ‘created’ it is ‘kicked out’ and when an atom is missing an electron it is referred to as an ion. A phosphorescent medium can be thought of as a type of ‘semiconductor’ and so therefore ionization is possible.

By the way, you cannot ‘create an electron’. Rather what you can do is create an electron-positron pair, provided that the absorbed radiation is in the form of gamma rays, and so therefore such a device would only be useful in outer space and not down here. Furthermore and electron and a positron annihilate each other releasing a gamma ray, and exposure to a gamma ray is much worse than becoming sun burned, and given that it is unlikely that people will be converted into the Incredible Hulk by exposure to such gamma radiation, and given that such a device would probably just kill everyone who was exposed to it, this an idea not worth considering down here on earth, not that there is much to worry about since the earth’s magnetic field protects us from gamma rays and therefore such a device would not work here in any case.

One of the reasons why silicon is currently used for solar cells and phosphorescent material is not being used is that with phosphorescent material you get that nasty problem of the emitted photon, and we want useful electrons. However at the same time the metastable state that we find in phosphorescent material, which gives us that useless photon, is also the source of a potential battery, so that with a phosphorescent solar cell the collector is also the battery, whereas with silicon while you don’t have the problem of emitting a photon, you require a separate battery or you must use the power in real time. Now given Einstein’s famous equation E=MC(2), we know that it is possible to store a great deal of energy within a very small quantity of matter and so therefore the promise offered by the more troublesome and stubborn phosphorescent material seems well worth the effort to exploit, since it brings with it the promise of a large amount of energy and promises to be much more powerful than a silicon solar cell for that reason.

Now if there is some other method of extracting electrical energy from phosphorescent material, other than exploring ionization, at the moment I cannot think of what that might be. Perhaps I might come across something else in my research but at the moment ionization and exploiting the Auger effect would seem to be about it. You see, we have a problem with phosphorescent material in that the energy it releases is in the form of a photon, and we don’t want that. In the process of ionization an electron is kicked out of an atom, creating an ion, and we can think of that electron leaving behind a kind of ‘hole’ which can then be filled by an electron, and once again, when the hole is filled the electron would release energy in the form of radiation (a photon once again) so we would hope that once the electron is replaced it has already lost enough energy (we used it) that there isn’t much left to radiate.

Anyone who is interested in an introduction to ionization might consider consulting the link to the wikipedia page on the subject. For our purposes we would be more interested in the more modern treatment of ionization (based upon quantum physics) rather than the older classical treatment.

Photosynthesis and the Electron Cascade

Plants employ solar collectors (their leaves) and they also employ a small battery in which they store electrical energy at the center of each leaf. You see, a plant, like us, really has not use for a photon, and so therefore a plant stores electrical energy in electrons.

Like us, plants also have a problem in that only the surface of the leaf is useful as a solar collector, and so therefore plants employ this very interesting effect of creating an electro-chemical electron cascade effect, sending the energy converted from sunlight cascading downward towards the center of the leaf where it is stored as useful electrical energy in a form of chemical battery.

Now in order to exploit Einstein’s equation, we must mimic the plant, because we have the same problem confronting a plant, in that just as the surface layer of the leaf of the plant is the only useful portion of the solar collector so to only the surface layer of the phosphorescent medium is a useful solar collector. Therefore we need to create a type of electron cascade effect, much as we see the plant doing in its leaf, since this is the sensible solution to that problem, and given that it is sensible that explains why we see plants employing that solution, and so must we.

For this reason I am now picturing a modification of the design of the solar collector. What we need is a metal disk upon which the phosphorescent medium is applied as a coating.

One way of thinking about the phosphorescent solar cell is that the cell is like a big capacitor. In a capacitor a charge accumulates upon two metal plates because of the difference of voltage between the two plates and the charge must build up because of the presence of an insulator or dielectric between the two plates (sometimes this is nothing more than air). Another way of thinking about the phosphorescent solar cell is to compare the metal plate and the phosphorescent medium to an anode and a cathode.

The purpose of introducing a metal plate into the design is to allow us to use techniques based upon electronics to imitate what the plant accomplishes using chemistry (an electron cascade effect, which frees up the surface to function as a solar collector by moving the charge carriers down to the center of the medium, in order that the solar cell can function properly as a battery).

Stochastic Cooling

One of the problems our solar cell will encounter is that phosphorescence is a temperature dependant phenomenon, and for this reason, because we are not operating our device at super cool temperatures, the battery will have a tendency to leak, releasing photons (which is why a phosphorescent toy glows in the dark).

In my previous post I discussed an intuitive hypothetical means of preventing such leakage by employing resonance and damping to create a type of electromagnetic trap. It turns out that this idea relates to a form of electromagnetic cooling known as ‘Stochastic Cooling’ which employs electromagnetic traps and radio frequencies. to create a damping effect that results in cooling. So it would seem to be possible to operate such a solar cell at ambient temperatures while at the same time the device itself remains cool. This would reduce the efficiency of the device since power would have to be directed towards cooling, which would a percentage of the energy not available to the end user (the sun provides about 1000 watts per square meter at the equator, and that figure would be less at higher or lower latitudes). We also probably do not need ‘super cooling’, and what is required for our purposes is that the device by ‘just good enough’, and even if it leaked a little that also wouldn’t be problem, just so long as it did not leak a lot, and was therefore a useful device. We should also keep in mind Einstein’s equation (E=M(2)) and this suggests that if we design a device whereby we can keep ahead, it all adds up.

Other Angles

There are a few other approaches to getting useful energy out of phosphorescent material that I did not mention above. Both involve doping. Think of a plate of food. You sprinkle salt and pepper on the food and in a way we could say that you were doping the food with salt and pepper.

It has already been demonstrated that doping a phosphorescent medium with rare earth minerals results in a large increase in the battery life (the substance will still be found glowing after hours have passed). Unfortunately the term 'rare earth mineral' sounds expensive to me, and perhaps it might be possible to achieve similar results with further experimentation with not so rare earth minerals.

Researchers working with DNA have found it necessary for their purposes to invent a technique referred to as 'phosphorescent quenching by means of electron transfer.' The way this works is that the medium is once again doped, this time with donors (the phosphorescent substance which will be transferring an electron) and receptors (a substance which will receive a donated electron). This quenches the phosphorescence preventing the release of a photon, and it is possible that a similar idea could be employed in a solar cell which would simplify the design. We could imagine a design somewhat similar to a conventional silicon solar cell where a charge is separated between 'holes' and charged particles, however such a device, while it could conceivably work much like a silicon solar cell, would lose its function as a battery since it is the 'metastable state' of the phosphorescent medium that provides the battery potential. However, given that silicon solar cells are only 12 percent efficient, it might be interesting to find out if a phosphorescent solar cell which functioned like a silicon cell would prove to be more efficient than a silicon cell.

The Gravitational Field

2007-12-12T06:30:00.000-08:00

If we think of gravity as being the consequence of the curvature of 'space-time' then the idea of 'anti-gravity' makes no sense. It is only if the gravitational field is the result of some kind of force that we can make sense out of such ideas as 'attraction' and 'repulsion' when thinking about gravity.

In order to explain how an object can be 'repulsed' by a gravitational field it is required that we introduce the idea of a gravitational 'charge'. The gravitational force would parallel the behavior of the electric force with the difference being that gravitation would be 'anti-symmetrical', in that in a gravitational field like charges would attract while unlike charges would repel. Now it is said that gravitation parallels the electromagnetic field phenomenon in many ways, with some noticeable differences, among them being that there is no 'negative charge' and that gravitation is always attractive and never repulsive for that reason. However saying this is much like saying 'there is no anti-matter in the universe' or 'there are no positrons'. We don't see anti-matter in the universe and we don't see many positrons, which is fortunate given that positrons and electrons, which we do see, annihilate each other and release high energy gamma rays in the process. It has been said that the 'Law of the Conservation of Charge' is invariant, but it is obvious that this is not true under a certain specific set of circumstances, for while it is true that electrons can only be created when at the same time a corresponding positron is created (thus preserving the zero charge of the energetic photon) it is also true that electrons exist and positrons do not exist, at least not for very long in this universe, and the fact that the universe exists at all is evidence that the Law of Conservation of Charge is not invariant. We do not see 'anti-gravity' or a 'negative gravitational charge' in the universe for if we did we would not see much of a universe, and the sublimation of this negative charge is required if this particular universe is to exist at all, just as positrons or anti-matter must not exist if the universe as we know it is to exist.

I say that the 'negative gravitational charge' is 'sublimated' because I believe that we do see it but we do not recognize that we are seeing it, because it is weak. Weak as this charge might be it is still required if we are to see any universe at all. If a mass is to have a 'positive gravitational charge' this would suggest that the 'charge' is a characteristic of the mass. As we know the gravitational force increases with the size of the mass and so therefore it would seem that the same force that holds a small together is the same force that holds a large mass together, and so therefore the forces that operate on the subatomic level and are holding together sub-atomic particles with a small mass, such as protons in a nucleus, are cumulative and so as mass increases so do the cumulative forces. At the same time we can see evidence for an 'anti-gravitational force' in that there is also a weaker force at work which prevents collapse under the positive gravitational force, and we could say that it is this stronger gravitational force which is responsible for the fact that matter exists while it is this weaker negative force which is responsible for the fact that space exists. As mass increases it must be true that the stronger attractive force and the weaker repulsive force increase in such a fashion as to be nonlinear for at some point gravitational collapse does occur.

Here I am assuming that 'gravitational charge' is an inherent property of 'mass', and I am aware that physicists consider the 'strong force' and the 'weak' force to be forces separate from the force of gravity which is a very weak force in quantum physics. The concept of 'negative mass' seems meaningless and nonsensical and this then leads me to consider the following hypothetical scenario.

If the gravitational charge is an inherent property of a mass then we can imagine the creation of a type of 'anti-mass'. This would be a 'negative mass' only in the sense that the 'charge' of the mass would be 'negative'. So we would imagine that we would have a nucleus composed of 'anti-protons' with a net negative charge bound together with the ubiquitous neutrons surrounded by a cloud of positrons and this would be an 'anti-atom'. My assumption here is that we only see mass in this universe and we do not see 'anti-mass' just as we see electrons and we do not see positrons (even though a positron is not an imaginary particle). If 'charge' is a property of mass then we would expect that an 'anti-mass' must also be possible and that the given that 'opposite charges' should be repulsive as far as it concerns gravity we might for the first thing see something which 'falls up and away' rather than what we always see in this universe which is something which falls down.

My observations of floating craft maneuvering within a gravitational field suggest that three vectors are required to explain the range of possible movement, and here what comes to mind is the picture given to explain angular momentum. The index finger is pointed straight ahead, the middle finger is then moved to become perpendicular to the palm (and at a right angle to the index finger) and then the thumb is pointed upwards in the 'thumbs up' position. The thumb corresponds to movement in the up down direction, the index finger forward and back and the middle finger left to right. Movement up and down within a gravitational field makes sense to me, and is easy to picture. Now as for movement left or right or forward or back or combinations of pairs giving a full range of motion, the only possible explanation I can come up with that makes any sense to me is the notion of 'differentials'. So if it was true that our craft was 'neutral' with respect to gravitational charge, then perhaps we could imagine ourselves hovering (or we could be 'negative' with equality and our velocity would therefore be zero). If we wanted to move to the left then perhaps we could be 'neutral' on the right but positive on the left and thus 'fall to the left'.

Experimental Observations

2007-12-11T20:18:00.000-08:00

In my quest to see that a solar cell is developed I have decided to discuss what I have observed as being the result of an 'experiment'. One thing that concerns me is that someone might take out a patent, and thus ruin everything by using the solar cell to generate profits, and so it is my hope to do it myself so as to ensure that my purpose in seeking these answers (transforming the lives of people without a lot of money) does not become subsumed by another purpose (generating a profit).

Here is what I have observed. I have observed three small craft hovering about twenty feet above the ground in a straight line row, equally spaced. The craft were shaped like two shallow soup bowls placed face to face (yes, this was the archetype of the 'flying saucer', which suggests then that reason why this 'flying saucer' shape has become part of the public consciousness and began showing up in Hollywood movies in the fifties is because those things exist and were observed and then accurately described by witnesses). According to a witness who saw them around the same time that I saw them, when they come close to the ground they are capable of scorching the earth, this effect being produced by a strong electrical current which flows within a magnetic field surrounding the device. That this effect is produced by a magnetic field is obvious since magnetism is the only force in nature which is capable of producing the 'anti-gravity' effect which then causes an object to float in midair. The 'flying saucer' shape is not a random design, but rather conforms to the shape of the magnetic field. These craft are small and unpiloted (perhaps about twelve feet wide and maybe about six or seven feet deep. A second type I have observed is shaped like a circular disk (when viewed from the side people report seeing a 'cigar shaped object'). These much larger circular craft are piloted and once again I make the assumption that the flat, circular disk shape is dictated by the shape of the magnetic field.

The three small 'flying saucers' were glowing with what I immediately recognized as a phosphorescent glow. One was the traditional color of the glow in the dark toy (that lime greenish glow), one was a blue hue, something like turquoise, and the third was a deep blood red. Since phosphorescent medium is both a collector and a battery capable of storing solar energy the obvious conclusion to draw is that a massive quantity of energy is being stored in this manner (enough to power both a brilliant glow as well as allow the craft the hover and to produce momentum, and as we know from watching the flames shoot out of the space shuttle or a rocket, a considerable amount of energy is required to keep a craft hovering or to produce momentum...however given Einstein's equation (E=mc(2)) I am not surprised when I consider just how much energy is being stored by those phosphorescent solar cells, since an enormous amount of energy can be stored in a very small mass.

Based upon my observations, such craft probably absorb energy at a wide range of frequencies. At the place where I work, if I look over the fence, I see the airport right next door, and I cannot count the number of times I have been paid a visit by these craft, flying right over the airport, and apparently they absorb radar and are therefore one hundred percent stealthy, since despite the fact that they have flown over the airport countless times over the years, I have never heard any reports that some radar operator kept noticing them as they popped up on the radar screen night after night.

It also seems obvious to me that the manner in which these craft manipulate energy is through the magnetic field, and so therefore the creation of a solar cell requires the combination of phosphorescent material and the magnetic field. I am going to asssume that the phosphorescent medium is 'doped' since the range of colors I have seen is not produced in nature as far as I know.

One form of communication that I have with my friends is that I ask a question and the craft becomes brilliant by increasing the glow (which means 'yes') or sometimes it will become extremely brilliant (which means 'yes, with emphasis'). About a month or two ago I caught hell, you might say, for giving into a feeling of despair, and I was told that I had a promise of assistance, and in this case the craft become extraordinarly brilliant, until finally the light actually went from white light to a noticeably bluish white as the intensity and brilliance increased (or in other words it is possible to employ the magnetic field to change the frequency of the emissions, when the stored energy is being released in the form of photons of light rather than being used to create momentum.

Now speaking of momentum, for years I used to think to myself that these craft were able to float and to fly by means of some kind of interaction with the earth's magnetic field. To explain flight out in space I developed the theory of 'bouncing' whereby a craft would bounce off the magnetic field and then given that an object in motion in a vacuum will maintain its speed this would allow space flight. The reason why I thought in this way is that my mind was trapped within the mental framework provided by Albert Einstein and the theory of general relativity, which explains gravity as being not a force, as proposed by Newton, but rather as the consequence of the curvature of 'space time'. Now lately I have come to reject Einstein, and I am assuming the geometry of Einstein may be correct but his assumptions are not. I am also assuming that one of the reasons why we do not have a quantum theory (or rather the reason why we have to many quantum theories) is because, like me, our scientists are also trapped within the box.

Zt is obvious to me that gravity is in fact a 'force', and so therefore it is required that we 'go back to Newton'. Now as we know, when we combine classical mechanics with quantum mechanics, the results come into conflict with Einstein's theories of relativity. For example, we get a fast electron. Yes, it is a very speedy electron, much faster than the speed of light. In fact, it can even be an instantaneous electron, and in a certain sense, such concepts as space and distance or time are meaningless to our electron, since certain quantum effects are transmitted instantaneously throughout the universe, and since this involves the transmission of information at faster than light speeds, this is impossible, because it violates Einstein's theory of relativity. We also know that Einstein devoted his life to discovering a unified field theory, and that he excluded quantum physics, and I would assume that the reason why he felt this antipathy towards quantum physics was because intuitively and unconsciously Albert Einstein knew that if he went there that would overturn his assumptions, so he stayed away. Since then, all of our scientists have also stayed away, which is a problem. Therefore if I were to ask a simple question, such as 'why does an electron have a net negative charge', I cannot get an answer. I will be told that it does have such a charge, but as to why it does, there is no answer that I have ever found. This is quantum physics. I must simply take it for granted that a photon has no net charge and no mass, and as to why that would be true, there is no theory.

It is only in the last few years that technological development has reached the place where it is now possible for an electron to tell us that it is an electron that is faster than light. Actually it is an instantaneous electron. It is an electron with a message. It is telling us that it is time to move on and start thinking outside the box.

It has occurred to me that my panic stricken behavior of late is more than likely not required, since it is very unlikely that someone will invent this solar cell and then take out a patent. As for my panic, my goal is to produce these inexpensive solar cells and then distribute them to women or children who spend hours each day walking many miles to gather a bundle of sticks, since all the sticks keeping getting further and further away. This is quite different than the idea of generating a solar cell to 'make a profit'. Don't misunderstand me. I can see how 'generating a profit' could be useful to my purpose in that I can now distribute more solar cells, since distributing solar cells is my goal, and 'generating a profit' is not my goal but rather a method, which is a different concept altogether. When we think of a 'profit' in this sense, we can think of a 'profit' as being a measure of 'work' and since it will require 'work' and 'allocation of resources' to distribute solar cells I am not opposed to the idea of 'profit' since in this case it is just an abstraction employed to describe the work required to generate and distribute the aforementioned solar cells. However, the conclusion I have drawn is that I need not worry myself sick at the moment since it is unlikely that anyone will beat me by crossing the finish line, and there are two reasons for this. First, no one ever listens to me, and so therefore our scientists do not have the experimental evidence at hand which would allow them to ask the right questions and thus develop the solar cell. Second, our scientists are still thinking in the box, and so therefore Albert Einstein will prevent them from developing the solar cell and then taking out a patent for some corporation so that some corporation can generate profits for some shareholders rather than developing a profit so as to distribute more solar cells, which is an entirely different concept.

For this reason I have decided to relax and spend the next little while studying classical mechanics, since I do not have to rush. You see, I know that gravity is actually a force. I know that a strong relationship exists between gravitational force and electric force, so I will need to spend some time studying Newton and classical physics in general in order to find the answers I am looking for. It seems to me that 'anti-gravity' and electromagnetic propulsion are probably byproducts of this solar cell I am interested in. I also know that there exists a relationship between the weak force and the electron, and that it is the strong force that holds things together, and since it is a force that I am looking for, it is obvious then that somehow gravity is related to the strong force. The electron has also told me that such effects are actually independent of such concepts as those of 'space' and 'time' (they are instantaneous, everywhere in the universe). Therefore I know that somehow the electron and the weak field are involved in this electromagnetic propulsion and this anti-gravity effect, although just what a strong field is or a weak field is I do not know, and I don't think anyone else knows at this time. I know that anti-gravity and propulsion involves attraction and repulsion, and I know that an electron has a net negative charge, and that there is a relationship involving attraction and repulsion between the 'strong' and 'weak' forces, but I do not understand just exactly why there would be a charge or why a pure energy particle like a photon has no mass and no charge while an electron has both. Apparently having a charge is a property of mass, although why that would be true I do not know, although I do know based upon my observations that having a charge is essential to the phenomenon of anti-gravity and propulsion and is also important in the design of a solar cell.

Manufacturing busted toasters

2007-12-09T08:35:00.000-08:00

I was reading this piece coming out of the Vatican titled The Virgin Without Sin. It is all about how Mary, for the reason that she was going to push a divine human hybrid such as Hercules out of her pussy later on in life, was granted the one time offer of being born without so much as a taint of the original sin on her. Among the many benefits this gracious act bestowed upon the wife and mother of God was that her pussy did not bleed once a month and she was also blessed to have no sexual hormones, thus meaning that it is very unlikely that she ever felt horny in her life and thus it was easy for her to become a role model for the perfect married wife because she never allowed Joseph to touch her pussy throughout her entire life. Unfortunately there is no doctrine about the immaculate conception of Joseph since he wasn't going to be getting laid and besides Mary was going to get it on with a ghost and so there was no reason to give Joseph perfect sinless sperm because he really wasn't involved in the divine plan except that he was going to get married to Mary for strictly formal reasons, I must suppose. Either that was true or it could be that Joseph married the Virgin Mary and then much to his shocked surprise he found out about that immaculate conception thing later on when it was to late. Either way, given that Joseph was born with a sinful penis and didn't get in on that immaculate conception deal that would mean that he must have had wet dreams probably about once every two weeks, when involuntarily his sinful flesh would force him to imagine that he was actually screwing Mary. I assume that he never jerked off and so wet dreams it was, for the only way that Joseph could have avoided that wet dream business is if he was born with an immaculate penis that did not pull such stunts and was therefore only used for urination, but sadly for Joseph that did not happen because he wasn't going to be donating any sperm to that project and so he lost on that wonderful fucking deal.

With the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Catholic Church affirms that Mary, on account of a singular privilege bestowed by God and in view of the merits of Christ's death, was preserved from contracting the stain of original sin and came into existence already completely holy. Four years after being defined by Pope Pius IX, this truth was confirmed by the Madonna herself at Lourdes in an apparition to Bernadette with the words: "I am the Immaculate Conception."

Fortunately there was emperical evidence to back up that immaculate conception tale otherwise there might be some skeptics around who would feel that this was some fiction cooked up by some Pope and not something that actually happened in the real world, and so it is good that we have the rock solid word of Bernadette.

I find it interesting to note that apparently being born very sinful is an arbitrary thing, for it would seem that the only reason why anyone has sin is because God is like a manufacturer who produces nothing but defective toasters. Now we know that it is possible for God to manufacture a half decent toaster once in a while, should the mood come upon God to create a human being without a sin so that like Mary, God's wife, people could be born into the world saved rather than being born damned thus making a lot of work for priests who must exhaust themselves trying to rectify God's mistakes. It turns out that only Mary, the mother of God, could get in on that deal of being arbitrarily born without any sin, since apparently that isn't a requirement and being born sinful and damned is just something that God does on purpose simply because God is God and therefore there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. So there.

For Mary it would be birth without a sin and for everyone else it would be sacraments and penance and lots and lots of religion, since keeping a priest busy was apparently all part of the divine plan of God. Either that or this must be some kind of make work project cooked up by priests, because, after all, who wants to be out of a job?

La Nina and the Northwest Floods

2007-12-06T14:30:00.000-08:00

The image above shows the strong La Nina event currently in place in the tropical Pacific. The dark blue area shows Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies where the temperature inversion has resulted in strong cooling in the tropical Pacific. This La Nina event follows a weaker El Nino event last winter.

It is typical of La Nina to generate strong winds and heavy precipitation in the western United States and we have heard reports of hurricane force winds and up to a foot of flooding rain falling upon the Pacific Northwest.

Australia is currently suffering from a drought, and it is typical for La Nina to result in heavier precipitation in Australia, which leads many to hope that this years strong La Nina event will bring relief to drought stricken areas of Australia.

Cheaper than Coal – Developing A Solar Power Supply

2007-12-06T09:57:00.000-08:00

Cheaper than Coal

According to what I have read recently, the people over at Google are planning to spend tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars on research into renewable energy sources that are ‘cheaper than coal’. This has spurred me to begin research on the development of a solar cell based upon phosphorescence, which is the most logical and sensible approach to take towards developing a renewable energy source. The more research I do, the more I become convinced that all the pieces required to implement this technology are already in existence, and that it is just a matter of putting the pieces together in the right way. This is doable.

No other invention would do more to benefit the human race at this point in time than the development of a proper solar battery. If you are concerned about such things as human impact on the environment, in particular deforestation in undeveloped countries, for the primitive purpose of generating energy by burning wood, then this technology offers a solution. A proper solar cell does not require the investment of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars in utility infrastructure, and if developed cheaply enough, is capable of revolutionizing life by delivering inexpensive (free) power to people all over the world (the cost of the power would be the cost of purchasing the device, while the power of the sun is free)…It goes without saying that such a device would also spur development since the cost of energy is greatly reduced, which then acts as a stimulus. As well the building materials of the future will be based upon complex carbon composites, rather than upon wood from forests, and for this reason it has always seemed ruinous to me that people would be burning up the oil and burning up the coal, since in effect they are burning up the future when they do so.

Phosphorescence: nature’s solar battery

Nature has already supplied us with the fundamental components of a solar power device.
Phosphorescent substances are natural solar collectors that also incorporate a battery. Conventional solar power devices, as they exist today, rely upon silicon and require a separate battery for storage, which is much less efficient than the method already employed by nature.

One of the problems with nature’s solar cell is that the battery ‘leaks’. You may be familiar with phosphorescent material if you have ever had a glow in the dark novelty toy. The device captures photons of light and then gradually over a period of time releases the photons, and is this gradual release of stored energy that is responsible for the glow in the dark effect. Phosphorescent material glows after exposure to light because light energy is stored (the battery effect) but the battery is ‘leaky’ (the glowing effect, which eventually fades completely when the battery has been drained).

Some materials are transparent to certain types of radiation, while having the ability to absorb other forms of radiation. As one example, a human being or a wall in a house is transparent to radio waves, which is why people can listen to a radio within their home, since the radio wave frequencies pass transparently through walls. Human beings are not transparent to UV radiation, but rather absorb this form of radiation, which then explains why people get sunburned.

Phosphorescent material is not transparent to certain portions of the spectrum and thus is able to absorb light energy. One of the fundamental principles of quantum physics states that a phenomenon such as light is composed of discrete packets or quanta (in the case of light this packet is known as a photon). Such quanta are discrete because they can only assume certain fixed energy levels, and we speak of ‘quantum jumps’ between these various steps, since there are no intermediate values, and thus the energy levels of such quanta are said to be discrete and not continuous. This is demonstrated by the lines of the spectra which take the form of discrete bands. The energy level available to any quanta, such as a photon or an electron, is described by four quantum numbers, which together describe all the available discrete energy levels of that particle.

A substance is able to absorb radiant energy when the energy level of the radiation matches one of the fixed energy levels of that quanta. If no exact match can be made, the substance exhibits transparency to that radiation, while if the energy level of the quanta combined with the energy level of an electron about a nucleus results in am exact match for one of the higher energy levels available to an electron, then the result is that the electron absorbs energy, and is raised to what is referred to as an ‘excited’ state, leaving behind the normal state of that electron which is referred to as the ground state.

When a photon of light is absorbed by an electron in an atom of a phosphorescent material the electron does a quantum jump to a higher level excited state, which is short lived. The electron then falls into an intermediate state which lies between the excited state and the normal ground state, which is referred to as a metastable state. When the electron reaches this metastable state, there exists no quanta of energy that is allowed that the electron could release so as to allow the electron to return to the ground state, and for this reason returning to ground is referred to as a condition which is ‘forbidden’. The metastable state thus forms an energy trap and this energy trapping characteristic is the basis of the battery storage potential of phosphorescent material, which is capable of capturing photons emitted by the sun and then converting these photons to useful electrons, which then are held within a type of energy trap from which escape for the electron is forbidden due to the lack of an existing allowable quantum energy level. In order for the electron to release energy and drop back to ground the energy of the emission must exactly match the difference between the energy of the metastable state and the ground, and since no such match can be found to exist, the electron becomes a store of energy transferred by the photon of light which the electron is unable to release.

A metastable state is not stable, for if it was stable then an electron would be permanently trapped in the state, but as we can see when a glow in the dark toy glows in the dark, eventually, over a period of time, electrons do manage to drop out of the metastable state and return to ground, so in this case we can say that ‘forbidden’ actually means ‘improbable’ but not impossible. It is interesting to note that the characteristic ‘lime green’ color of glow in the dark toys is an example of discrete indivisible quanta since it is this frequency of light which is produced by the difference between the energy of the metastable state and the ground state, since it is this frequency of light which the electron releases in the form of an energetic photon when the electron eventually returns to ground.

One of the principle reasons that a metastable state eventually decays and results in the emission of the photon (which is also the failure of the material to form a lasting solar battery, from our point of view) is because of thermal oscillations. This suggests that one way to convert phosphorescent material into a long lasting battery for energy storage would be to keep the material at close to absolute zero, since phosphorescence is a temperature dependant phenomenon. However, if we are looking to design a useful solar collector that is also its own solar battery, we would want a design that works at ambient temperatures, so this is a poor solution to our problem. Some small quanta of energy is exchanged between atoms in the form of heat. The process is random and sooner or later an electron loses enough energy so that its energy level exactly matches the difference between its elevated state and the ground state. Once this occurs the electron emits a photon of a specific frequency (as we can see by the greenish glow we see in glow in the dark toys, this frequency matching the energy difference between the elevated state of the electron and the ground state). The electron then falls back to its natural ground state, and the useful energy is lost having been emitted as a photon of light. For a power source we would want our device to emit useful electrons and not photons of light.

The Laser

It has occurred to me that given the similarities that exist between the device known as the laser and a phosphorescent solar cell, I am convinced that if we can design a device like a laser we should also be able to design an effective solar power source based upon phosphorescent materials.

There are some similarities as well as some differences between these two devices, and a study of the laser also gives us some clues as to how to go about creating a useful solar cell.

A laser is a light amplification device. When light or electricity is used to excite electrons in a gain medium, the electrons do a quantum jump to a short lived excited state, just as they do in phosphorescent material. The electrons in the laser gain medium then fall down to the equivalent of the metastable state. Light of a specific frequency is employed to cause the electron to release a matching photon and return to the ground state. There are now two photons with identical frequency, and for this reason laser light is described as being ‘coherent’. Typically mirrors are employed to bounced the light back and forth through the gain medium, which contributes to the amplification effect, as more electrons are excited and then encouraged to release more light at the specific frequency. The process is referred to as stimulated emission. Typically one of the mirrored surfaces is partially transparent, and so a coherent beam of laser light is allowed to escape from the cavity resonator. The light can increase exponentially within the cavity as excited electrons are stimulated and release coherent photons which continue to bounce (resonate) within the cavity contributing to the release of more coherent photons before eventually passing through the semitransparent mirror (the laser beam).

The Auger Effect

The Auger Effect refers to a form of stimulated emission, this time of electrons, rather than photons as in the case of the laser. When an electron is excited and jumps to a higher state, it leaves behind ‘an electron hole’. When the electron and the hole ‘recombine’ the results can either be the release of a photon, as is the case with the glow in the dark toy, or an electron can be ejected. If our purpose was to create a solar cell we would intend to stimulate the emission of electrons, rather than photons, and the Auger Effect leads us to consider a process of amplification similar to that which occurs in a laser, whereby electrons are excited by photons and jump to a higher quantum energy state, and then electrons within a magnetic field are employed to stimulate the cascading release of electrons, much as resonating photons bouncing off a mirrored surface are employed to stimulate the release of coherent photons.

Electrons can be found in what is referred to as the valence band, which corresponds to the ground state, or when an electron is excited it can move upward into what is referred to as the conduction band. No electrical current can flow if the electrons are found in the valence band, however when an excited electron achieves enough energy to reach the empty conduction band it can move freely and it leaves behind an electron hole in the valence band and electrical current can then flow. In a solar cell the process would involve ‘carrier generation’ (when an electron is excited to a higher energy level by a photon of light) which would then be followed by a ‘recombination event’. In normal phosphorescence the recombination event occurs when a photon of light of a certain frequency is released and the excited electron returns to ground state. However in a solar battery it would be required that the recombination event by the result of the Auger Effect and result in the ejection of an electron (referred to as an Auger Electron) rather than the emission of a photon. In Auger recombination when an electron and an electron hole recombine the energy is given to an electron in the upper conduction band, which then increases the energy of that electron. When a photon causes an electron to jump to a higher energy level (leaving behind an electron hole) the photon ceases to exist, and so in effect the energy of the photon has been transferred to an energetic electron. This is referred to as a transition without radiation, and it is this form of energy release (in the form of electrons rather than radiation in the form of photons) that is required in a functional solar cell. Just as the emissions of photons in laser can be caused by resonating photons, so Auger electrons can be emitted by energetic electrons.

Population Inversion and Emission

An electron can exist in a higher energy level excited state, or at the lower energy level ground state. When more electrons exist at a higher energy level state than the lower ground state, it is said that a population inversion has occurred. Because the higher level is more heavily populated than the ground state, emission rather than absorption is more likely to occur.

An electron remains trapped in a metastable state because no allowable quantum energy state exists which matches the difference between the energy level at the metastable state and the energy level at ground. The difference in energy between the excited state and the ground state can be widened by the application of an external magnetic field, such that when the difference in energy states is equal to one of the allowable quantum energy states, the electron is liberated from the energy trap and is free to emit energy, either as a photon, which would be undesirable for our purposes, or as an electron.

The Auger Effect can also be achieved by the introduction of energetic electrons, and thus it seems quite possible that the same magnetic field that widens the gap, liberating the trapped electron, could also be the magnetic field that employs electrons to achieve the desirable Auger Effect.

Double Helix Super Conducting Dipole Magnets

Magnets wound in the form of a double helix are now considered ideal for purposes requiring a magnetic super conductor (such as particle accelerators). The magnets produce a powerful field, but without the complicated and expensive windings typical of previous generations of super conducting magnets. They are cheap and easy to produce.

Currently such magnets are being employed by power utility companies for the purposes of load balancing. The magnets are employed in a super cooled cyrogenic environment where electrical resistance ceases to exist, which minimizes any possible loss of energy in the form of heat. Large amounts of power are then stored in the magnetic field generated by these magnets, and when a sudden surge of demand places a peak load on the power grid, the energy which had been trapped within the magnetic field is suddenly released onto the grid. The magnetic field is then recharged and ready for another sudden release of energy when the grid once again experiences a peak load.

It is obvious that if a functioning solar cell is to be constructed from phosphorescent material, it must incorporate a magnet in order to achieve the Auger Effect, and thus release electrons rather than photons.

What consideration of these facts reveals is that nature has supplied the solar collector and the utility companies are already employing methods to draw power from a magnetic field. Any electrons liberated from our solar cell would be carried by the magnetic field and then become useful energy. Therefore it becomes clear that in order to employ solar power all that is required is that a proper solar battery be developed, since the collector exists already in nature, and the technology required to use the electrons liberated into a magnetic field already exists.

Resonance and Damping – a thought experiment

One of the problems with nature’s solar cell is that it is subject to random thermal oscillations, which then allows energy to be transferred, lost and gained, and where sufficient thermal energy has been lost, an electron can reach the required energy level that matches the difference between the metastable state and the ground state, and the battery discharges. The second problem with nature’s solar cell, from out point of view, is that the battery discharges photons, rather than the useful electrons we require.

The first step in constructing a useful battery is to prevent the damn thing from leaking. If I had a lab and the money to spend on experimentation, I would be interested in testing the following hypothesis. Since it is thermal oscillations which is ruining my solar battery and causing leakage, it therefore makes sense to me to take matters into my own hands and employ resonance to prevent this from happening. Thermal oscillations are a form or resonance, and this cannot be avoided if a battery is to be constructed that will function at ambient temperatures rather than at temperatures close to absolute zero. Therefore, since there will be resonance, it seems reasonable to me that it should be a resonance chosen by me.. Therefore my hypothesis would be that I can supersede thermal oscillations by introducing a stronger resonance such that thermal oscillations are no longer of any consequence.

However there could be a problem here in that resonance can itself encourage the trapped electron to fall back to ground, and given that the resonance that I would be introducing would not be random, it is also possible that all I would accomplish would be to encourage an electron to fall to ground more quickly than might otherwise be the case.

With this thought in mind it has occurred to me that what I might want is to construct an energy trap for an energy trap, by introducing what is known as ‘critical damping’. Damping is the solution whenever there is undesired resonance. I want my trapped electrons to behave, and I want their behavior to be uniform. Therefore I want to introduce my own selected resonance and then to complete the trap I want to introduce ‘critical damping’.

Parallel RLC circuits

Let us assume that we were successful in preventing the emission of photons, and that what was once a metastable state has become a stable state. To complete the creation of the solar battery we need to employ a magnetic field and energetic electrons to mimic what happens in a laser, by using a small current to create an amplification effect and produce what would probably be a coherent flow of electrons.

Parallel RLC circuits are capable of producing resonance. When you tune in a radio station on a radio you are using a parallel RLC circuit. Such circuits are capable of producing resonance at extremely narrow bands (in this case the radio would be very difficult to tune, but the reception would excellent and interference free) or they are capable of producing resonance in broader bands of frequencies. The resonance we would require would depend upon the characteristics of the phosphorescent medium, just as the gain medium in a laser resonates at a particular frequency of light (the energy equivalent to the difference between the metastable state and the ground state, or in more modern four state lasers, the difference between the metastable state and a lower excited state which exists between the metastable state and the ground state).

Parallel RLC circuits create resonance by exploiting resistance, inductance, and capacitance. It is interesting to note that the double helix magnet is a solenoid, and thus has a natural inductance, and the capacitance is demonstrated by the fact that magnet is used as an energy storage device by power utilities. As for the resistance element, we would be using our magnets at ambient temperatures, rather than at super cooled, super conducting temperatures, and this naturally entails resistance, which is a normal feature of a parallel RLC circuit, and therefore we have just made a virtue out of a necessity.

When the time came to draw power off of our solar battery, we can imagine ‘tuning’ our RLC circuit such that the energy employed and the resonant frequency widens the energy gap between the metastable state and the ground state such that the trapped electron is liberated. Our device will require some capacitance (a small store of energy in the form of a capacitor) since we will need to introduce a small flow of energetic electrons into the magnetic field, which will be employed to liberate electrons (the Auger effect) much as photons are employed in a laser to liberate more photons at the selected frequency. Our device should be tunable so that the energy is produced at useable frequencies (for example I believe that in North America the useable frequency is 60 hertz). The liberated electrons will move into the magnetic field, much as they do in the load balancing super conducting magnets employed on the power grid, and from there the technology already exists to employ the electric current for useful purposes.

Design Characteristics of the Solar Cell

Our solar cell should be a circular disc, since it must conform to the shape of the magnetic field. This could be in the form of a hollow shell, composed of our phosphorescent medium, with an enclosed magnet inside. Given Einstein’s famous equation E=MC(2) we know that it is possible to store a massive quantity of electrical energy in a small quantity of matter, so we can assume that the size of the disk would be dictated by the requirements of the collector.

Questions for further study

I am convinced that it is feasible using current technology to construct a useful solar cell based upon what nature has already given us – phosphorescent medium. I plan to continue my research and hopefully flesh out my proposal further in the hopes of spurring the development of such an important device.

Some questions I would like to research further include the following.

For a given phosphorescent medium, does there exist an energy level which would be allowable for an electron, but would be forbidden to a photon. Here I am concerned in that we must achieve the Auger Effect, and that means that we must preclude the emission of photons. An electron must return to ground, and so therefore if there exists an energy level that is allowable to an electron and forbidden to a photon, it logically follows that we have just ensured that an electron will be emitted.

I would assume that for any given current there should follow a given amplified output. Therefore for a smaller input current there would be a corresponding amplified output current. This is required if we want to control the output. Therefore we could assume that voltage could be employed to control the output level. Is this correct?

If a phosphorescent medium is responsive to a broad spectrum (as seems to be the case with certain doped samples) then it seems possible to create a given output by resonance at only specific frequencies.

It would seem that given that nature has supplied the solar collector, and the utility companies employ technology to remove useful electrons from a magnetic field, the problem of creating a workable solar power supply comes down to solving just two problems.

The first is to find a way to transform a meta-stable state into a stable state while doing so at ambient temperatures. This will prevent the solar battery from leaking.
The second is to find a way to emit electrons rather than emitting the photons that are normally produced by a phosphorescent medium.

When these two problems are solved, we will have created a useful solar cell.
Now in regards to the second problem, electrons and photons can be described by the four quantum numbers. For example, one of the numbers is the measure of 'quantum spin', with an electron having spin 1/2 and a photon having spin 1. Pauli's Exclusion Principle states that no two 'fermions' (a class of quantum particles, such as the electron) can occupy the same quantum state, and so therefore the four quantum numbers must be different. All the available states of the fermion are described by these four quantum numbers. So in the case where only the spin numbers differ, and given that an electron can have spin +1/2 and spin -1/2 only two electrons would be allowed in the electron shell.

Therefore it seems logical that if out intention is to emit electrons into a surrounding magnetic field, it is required that the four quantum numbers describe an electron and not a photon. A photon can be absorbed by an electron and then an electron can emit a photon (as we can see when phosphorescent medium absorbs light and then emits the eerie greenish colored light we associate with certain inexpensive forms of phosphorescence incorporated into toys). Therefore, given that there is no hard line separating photons and electrons, and given that an electron is described by four quantum numbers, and a photon is described by four quantum numbers, therefore to cause out solar collector to emit electrons we are required to ensure that the four quantum numbers that describe the emission describe an electron rather than a photon.

I have an hypothesis which intuition suggests makes good sense. There exists a resonant frequency such that it would be possible to match the energy level of an electron trapped in a metastable state, creating the resonance (and the critical damping) described above, while at the same time not creating interference with the absorption of photons by the phosphorescent medium, since both the ground state and the higher excited state are energy levels which differ from the electron trapped in the metastable state.

Given that we only have these two problems to solve I remain fully convinced that creating a powerful new solar energy source is within the reach of our current technology and our current understanding of quantum physics. This project is doable.

Religious Freedom

2007-12-03T21:18:00.000-08:00

As I have been contemplating the dreadful punishment inflicted upon religious people by their ruthlessly silent God over the ages of time, I have been thinking that maybe 'religious freedom' is not such a great idea. What you wind up with is a moron, such as is the human being, or so it would seem, quarreling with God about dogma, and when that happens, you wind up with godless and godforsaken religion with no God and in the place of God we are granted religious freedom. There is the trade off described in a nut shell.

While I am filled with dread when I contemplate just how terrible God can be, this is tempered by my admiration for the justice of God. Religion, let them have it. Certainly a person would think that perhaps it might be possible to have a reasonable discussion concerning this precious dogmas of religion, and it might be possible to point out to religious people that God is God and a human being is, in comparison, just a low grade moron, and therefore there is no need to quarrel with God about dogma or attempt to justify dogma, for what is the point. However, when that does not work, and people invent religion instead, the correct solution is the solution chosen by God. Religion, let them have it. Oh, YAHWEH God, grant them religious freedom.

If we study the religious freedom of the Christian religion we can see that it is true that you do not want to blaspheme God by comparing God to a genocidal Hitler, as is the case in the so called 'holy' Bible. We can also make note of the dreadful disaster that took place that resulted in all those dead North American Native populations, one of the consequences of being a 'bible believing Christian'. Apparently when people are granted religious freedom, and they are left to their own evil devices for a long enough time, sooner or later it gets to the point where there is no longer any point in defending their dogmatism, for their own conduct will eventually condemn them thoroughly, which will then condemn their dogma. God wins the argument at the end of it all. However should a godless and godforsaken Christian wish to continue the argument, which I am sure they will, then I would suggest that they begin defending 'the word of some god' by defending the Bible their ancestors wrote and then voted for as being 'the word of some god', by defending the genocide against the North American Indians. When they are through justifying that behavior then perhaps they can explain the long dark night of the soul, and they can justify the blasphemy of that so called 'holy bible'. This should keep them busy, and if they finish justifying themselves on these two simple points, then perhaps we could say that they were justified and that God was not, since God was proven to be a cruel and unreasonable bastard and treated Christians unjustly when God told them to take a wild guess as to whether or not God existed, and then to drop dead before they would ever find out the final answer to that controversial question which has always dogged any truly Christian culture.

Doping

2007-11-30T19:25:00.000-08:00

The electrons in a Phosphorescent material are excited to a higher state by photons of light, and then fall into a 'metastable' state where the transition back to the ground state is 'forbidden' (highly improbable). Intuition suggests that the first step in creating a solar energy source is to use a combination of 'doping' and the effects of a magnetic field to create more permanent electron traps (transition from a metastable state is not truly 'forbidden' as we can see when the phosphorescent material glows as it slowly returns to a ground state by losing electrons which are released as photons of light). The second step would then be to release trapped electrons as useful electrons rather than as photons, and at the present time my intuition suggests that somehow this is related to the phenomenon of magnetic resonance (such as is employed in an MRI scan).

I found the following abstract interesting because the colors emitted by this long lasting phosphorescence (blue, green, and red) are exactly the colors I have seen displayed by these flying craft, along with white light, which can produced by combining blue, green, and red light.

In this experiment we can see that the effect of doping is to create long lasting phosphorescence which means that we have created a type of 'storage battery', since the material is both a collector and is also the battery (an elegant and obvious solution) but at the same time we can see that the battery, while an improvement, continues to 'leak'. It is at this point that we would want to begin to experiment with magnets, since intuition suggests that it is the magnet that both prevents leakage, and then is also employed to liberate electrons, not as photons, but rather as a useful electric current.

Femtosecond laser-induced three-dimensional bright and long-lasting phosphorescence inside calcium aluminosilicate glasses doped with rare earth ions We report on a novel phenomenon in calcium aluminosilicate glasses doped with Ce3 + , Tb3 + , and Pr3 + . After irradiation by an 800 nm femtosecond pulsed laser, the focused part of the laser in the glasses emits bright and long-lasting phosphorescence able to be clearly seen with the naked eye in the dark even one hour after the removal of the activating laser. Moreover, by selecting appropriate glass compositions and species of rare earth ions, optional three-dimensional image patterns emitting long-lasting phosphorescence in various colors, including blue, green, and red, can be formed within glass samples by moving the focal point of the laser. Based on absorption spectra, the long-lasting phosphorescence is considered to be due to the thermostimulated recombination of holes and electrons at traps induced by the laser irradiation, which leave holes or electrons in a metastable excited state at room temperature. ©1998 American Institute of Physics.

Was Einstein Wrong?

2007-11-30T17:31:00.000-08:00

Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity describes gravity using geometry. It is the change in the shape of 'spacetime' which explains the phenomenon of gravity. He spent the rest of his life trying to come up with a Unified Field Theory which would reconcile General Relativity with the phenomenon of Electromagnetism without success. It was said that Einstein made the attempt to reconcile the two phenomenon without resorting to Quantum physics.

It seems possible to me that Einstein's equations could accurately describe the geometry of gravity without correctly explaining the phenomenon. A relationship does exist between gravitational attraction and magnetism and we can see that the graph of an object under the influence of these two effects is identical. I have also made observations of floating craft which somehow use magnetism to defy gravity and float in the air, and also use the effect as a form of propulsion. These craft are capable of sudden bursts of acceleration and changes in direction which would indicate that within a powerful magnetic field it is possible to create a pocket of gravity which somehow has the effect of isolating objects within that pocket from the effects of 'G-Forces' (I think of that scene in a Mel Brook's movie where a space craft goes to warp speed and the Darth Vader character flies across the bridge and is slammed head first into the far wall - apparently this does not happen).

Electromagnetism affects only charged particles such as the electron, which is somehow related to how a solar battery composed of phosphorescent substance can become a battery under the influence of a magnetic field. The mediating particle for Electromagnetism is the photon, which is also convenient (this is a solar powered battery). It seems relevant to me that the craft I have seen are circular in shape, for the magnetic field is also circular and all mass tends to assume a circular shape when there is enough of it, and for this reason the geometry of gravity will also tend to become spherical in three dimensional space.

According to Quantum theory, the strong force is an attractant and the weak force is a repellent. My observations cause me to suspect that such forces are not only in effect on the atomic level but rather that this so called 'strong force' not only binds at the atomic level but also has an effect on the larger 'macro-world', and this cumulative effect is what we call 'gravity'. If this was this case, and it seems to me the only probable explanation for what I have observed, then it must also be true that somehow this weak repellent force would be somehow responsible for the 'anti-gravity' effect. Apparently this 'weak force' is more powerful than gravity but only over extremely small distances. I also find it interesting that, according to what I have read, "The Standard Model of particle physics describes the electromagnetic interaction and the weak interaction as two different aspects of a single electroweak interaction."

My observations of floating craft, which are surrounded by a powerful magnetic field, have led me to doubt the completeness of the General Theory of Relativity. If a complete explanation for phenomenon of gravity is given by a description of the changes in the geometry of space itself, then what I have seen does not make any sense. However, if it is true that these Quantum forces have influences in the 'macro-world', and not just on the atomic level, then what I have seen does make sense. Of course, this would mean that the reason why two distant galaxies are found to be moving toward each other is because of the effects of the combined 'strong' forces of Quantum physics, which operate over even vast distances such as those which separate galaxies, which I would assume would be considered absurd today. However I have a mystery here which requires a scientific solution that is intellectually satisfying, and while I am not a physicist myself, and have very little time available to become a mathematician, I have made observations, and so my speculation and my doubts about the status quo in modern physics is based upon some evidence.

There is one thing that has me puzzled, and that is the phenomenon of 'time dilation' as it relates to General Relativity and this 'stretching' of the fabric of 'spacetime'. This leads me to wonder if anyone has ever placed an atomic clock within a magnetic field. Has this experiment ever been done? What were the results? Apparently this would be a problem, since magnetic fields affect the accuracy of atomic clocks.

Elimination of magnetic influence on atomic clocks The description of this patent reads, "Improved atomic clocks and frequency standards of the type where the frequency of an oscillator is stabilized by locking via a phase lock loop to an atomic resonator and where the output of the clock is taken from this oscillator. Protective means are provided to maintain a high accuracy when such clock is exposed to a strong magnetic field. The stabilization is based on two magnetic "C"-fields which are controlled and adjusted to maintain the accuracy of the clock."

I find it interesting to note that there is now experimental evidence for an electromagnetic time dilation that is analogous to gravitational time dilation, and apparently this experiment corrects certain errors in predictions based upon special relativity.

Time dilations in bound muon decay "21 July 1980 Abstract A number of experiments show that the decay lifetimes of muons bound to atomic nuclei are longer than the decay lifetimes of free muons. The special relativistic time dilation predicts decay lifetime dilations that are substantially smaller than the observed decay lifetime dilations. In this paper it is shown that adding a recently predicted electro-magnetic time dilation (analogous to the gravitational time dilation) to the special relativistic time dilation gives a total time dilation that agrees with the observed decay lifetime dilations."

Cheaper than coal

2007-11-30T04:03:00.000-08:00

According to what I have read a project is being financed over at Google to find an energy source that is 'cheaper than coal', and would come in at at somewhere around 2 or 3 cents per kilowatt.

It has been said that there is nothing better to spur scientific development than to already know that an answer exists and therefore must only be developed. I already know the solution to the world's energy needs, and this is based upon my personal observations.

I have told people the story of the luminous craft I first observed at Banff National Park, and which I then had the opportunity to observe from only a few hundred yards in Melville, Saskatchewan. These craft had the recognizable glow that you can also see in those 'glow in the dark toys'. This is phosphorescence. Now that this technology is powering these flying craft is an indication of the amount of power it is possible to generate using nature's solar battery. The advantage of this technology is that the solar collector is also the solar battery, and when you consider Einstein's equation - E=MC(2) - it becomes obvious that an enormous amount of energy can be stored in very little matter, such that when this phosphorescent material is properly engineered it stores enough electrical energy to propel a flying craft.

I have done some amateur research on this technology in the past and what I have discovered is that glow in the dark toys release the light energy that they capture because phosphorescent material 'leaks' energy, rather than storing energy, and the main cause of this leakage is the vibration that occurs at the atomic level as a response to heat energy. I also know that these craft generate an extremely powerful and yet very localized electrical field effect (such that there would be scorch marks left on the earth but only when the craft comes within a certain close distance to the ground, which indicates that the magnetic field is somehow highly localized around the exterior of the craft.

Some sort of relationship exists between magnetism and the control of this phosphorescent material, and this then led me to do a little research in the area of 'magnetic resonance imaging'. It is obvious that a magnet is involved since these craft float in the air, defying gravity, and there is only one example in nature whereby objects 'float' in defiance of gravity and that is under the influence of magnets. It is obvious that the field generated by a magnet is also responsible for the scorching of the earth that takes place when such an object comes close to the ground.

It should be obvious that research involving silicon as a solar power technology is the wrong path to take, for in phosphorescence we have an elegant solution which incorporates the battery and the collector. Of interest here is the electron cascade effect utilized by plants, since plants also convert solar energy to electricity, and then send the electrons cascading downward to be stored in a type of battery. I am not suggesting here that it is required that we imitate the chemical reactions in plants, since this would probably turn out to be a dead end road, much as it was not required that human beings imitate the flapping of a birds wing in order to take flight. However intuition tells me that it would be required that some sort of cascade effect takes place in order to exploit the phenomenon described by Einsteins equation, which would then result in extremely small and yet very powerful batteries, which also collectors, which is then a very elegant solution. Intuition suggests a number of possible solutions. The answer might lie in some sort of 'doping' of the phosphorescent material, or some sort of altering of the material itself, since it is required that when the material captures a photon, we must trap the resulting electron, which makes me wonder if the solution might be to strip an electron. On the other hand the material already captures photons and stores them as electrons, and it might be true that the cascading effect would occur naturally, and therefore the solution is only to prevent the material from 'leaking' electrons, and it might be the case that it is the strong magnetic field that stabilizes the material, and it would also be intuitive to deduce that it is also manipulation of this magnetic field which draws off energy when required. I have noticed that this material is capable of releasing enormous amounts of energy as light, making the craft brilliantly luminous at times, while it is also possible to siphon off energy in the form of electrons, which is obvious given the powerful magnetic field, and it would seem that a small amount of energy is required to power the magnetic field which is somehow involved in preventing this leakage and is also involved in releasing energy either in the form of light or as useful electrons.

Therefore, given that Google is now spending millions on research into alternative energy sources, I would like to strongly recommend that experiments be conducted involving this phosphorescent material and magnets. It also seems quite probable that in the course of investigating this very useful phenomenon someone is likely to stumble upon that very interesting 'anti-gravity' effect which is more than likely a secondary by-product of the storage and manipulation of solar energy in such devices.

Beginning with the idea of going with what has already been demonstrated to work, I would like to suggest that a good place to start some research would be to imitate what has already been demonstrated by those who already know what they are doing. So then with this in mind, what is required is a hollow shell of phosphorescent coated material, with some sort of electrical generated magnet at the center. Two of the shell shapes I have observed would be the flat disk, and the object shaped like two shallow soup bowls place face to face, to create a type of 'oblong' effect. I would assume that the shape of the disk, and certain factors such as its width and depth would somehow be related to the size of the magnetic field, because the field, while it is extremely powerful does not seem to extend much beyond the outer shell. I also believe that it is typical of a magnetic field to spread and fall off gradually with distance, while this field seems to be very powerful and quite compact, and that would seem to be a relevant detail for some reason.

In some of my previous posts I told the story of how Little Adam, as I called him, went to Banff National Park. (Meet Adam, Adam Goes to Banff and links to scanned gif images of the letter I wrote at the time are found on the entry titled Banff.

Little Adam went to Banff looking for the Living God. According to Adam's theology at the time, the god of the dead, which was the god all the religions of the world, wasn't worth a damn. It was obvious to Adam that if God existed then God must be the God of the Living and not the god of the dead. According to the 'word of the god of the dead' as encapsulated in something called 'theology' if you wanted to know if that god existed then you had to drop dead and then you would find out for sure. Until that time we had something called 'blind faith' to go along with all that religion and this cruel guessing game, so I was always told, was the 'divine plan of salvation' of that god of the dead. If you guessed right, you were 'saved' by your good work of guessing the answer to that highly debatable question and if you made a wrong guess, and just took things at face value and assumed that there was no god of the dead, then that thing would send you to some place called 'hell', which was the punishment for taking a wild guess and a leap into the unknown, and screwing things up by guessing the wrong answer to that unanswerable question.

Now according to the personal theology of Little Adam, if God existed, then this meant that religious people were in a state known as 'bitter exile', cut off from the presence of the Living God as the punishment due for their sinful heresies. This being true it therefore logically followed from this theological premise that if someone were to separate themselves from the many sins of religion then it would be possible to get an answer from the Living God. Little Adam was convinced that this was true. Little Adam was not convinced that God actually existed, for after long ages of brutal punishing silence on the part of this Living God, as the stubborn and incurable dogmatism of religion met its match in the ruthless rejection by the Living God, at the end of it all you could just never really be sure if we were in exile or if there just was no Living God at all, for, you see, the experience of exile and the nonexistence of God are experienced in the same way. Both of these superficially identical experiences result in the long silence of God and produce what is known as 'the long dark night of the soul'. In both exile and nonexistence the question of the very existence of God is highly controversial and the result is a guessing game such as that guessing game of salvation. People were either dropping dead and getting the answer to their questions because there was no God or because they were being brutally and mercilessly punished by the Living God for their sinful heresies and that Living God would not pity nor relent nor condone what religion had done.

Therefore, because of the long dark night of religion, I was uncertain as to whether or not the Living God did exist, but I was certain that if such a God did exist it would be possible to break the exile by making a definitive break with all that religion the Living God hated so very much. This only made sense, for it was obvious to Little Adam that the human race was in exile only for the purpose of contradicting their religion and reducing it to dogmatic rubble.

Well, for what it is worth, I can report to the human race that the Living God really does exist. I say 'for what it is worth' because I do understand that no one hear what I am saying and no one can believe or accept my testimony at this time. This blindness and deafness is the product of thousands and thousands of years of punishing and merciless exile, and it is, as I have found, almost impossible to overcome godless experience with mere words. However, for what it is worth, I will point out to you people, that the reason why I am successful is that I am everything that I am 'no supposed to be'. I am David, 'a man after God's own heart', as he was called. I am earthy, very sexual, polygamous. I am also very critical, very skeptical, and I have no use whatsoever for those cooked up imaginations of the mind referred to as 'divine revelations' and instead I prefer science and the more certain results this method produces. I am not religious at all, which then explains why I am successful. When I say 'I am not religious at all' I also mean that I am not 'quasi religious' which is to say that I do not think in the cultural categories we have inherited from thousands of years of religion. As I have noticed, even atheists think in religious categories, even though they might think they are 'free thinkers', but this is a subject I have discussed previously and so I won't wander off topic and begin dwelling on that culturally induced manner of fucked up thinking I call 'quasi religion' which is responsible for destroying the world today rather than saving it, even though those 'moral reformers' who call themselves 'progressives' think they are saving the sinful pigs with all that evangelism of theirs, when actually the problem was not one of 'moral values' nor was the solution 'saving sinners one sinner at a time', but rather the problem all along was bad systems and structures which force people to 'sin' whether they want to or not, which also means that if someone wanted to sin they got lucky because it was possible to sin and get away with it given the way things are structured. It is this evil system that religion is designed to protect and it is for this reason that I refer to religion as 'the Anti-Moses'. But I digress...

Now it turns out that Little Adam also thought in certain culturally inculcated categories of which he was unaware. You see, Little Adam, even though he was comfortably human and quite happy to be a human being was also a child of a post-Christian culture, and so he inherited certain idiotic ideas which were going to cause him to fall into a disaster later. Given my experience in these matters, I thought I would share my story of my life with Frankenstein, since I would assume that most people are just as idiotic as Adam was and therefore are likely to fall into the same deep pit. Those who do will be luckier than I was since I am a 'prophet of YAHWEH', and that means that there will be someone around to reach out and pull them up out of that pit, while in my case I just had to suffer down in that black pit for one hell of a long time until I finally got my theology straightened out and came to understand that it was YAHWEH who is God and that there is no other God.

Well, when I came down from the mountain top at Banff I began working on a project with what I had thought was supposed to be God. You know, post-Christians, God, a lovely baby bouncing grandpa, the Great Santa in the sky, the kindly old daddy who gives out loaves and fishes, a wonderful parent, just like your mom. You know, this anthropomorphic theology really is a mistake, because a human being is a human being and thinks like a human being, but God is God. You can imagine my shock when the next thing you know I was splitting a suite with Frankenstein and I had that damned thing thumping around the place with its arms stretched out in front of it.

I had emerged out of a post-Christian culture and I inherited thousands of years of brainwashing. For that reason it was impossible for me to know God and so it was that I got to know God pretty quickly and what I discovered was so dreadful and so horrible and so terrible, or so it seemed to me, that I spent decades in a dark pit from which I could not escape. This was my life with God, my sacrificial life with God. Decades spent trapped in a suite with Frankenstein, whom I hated with a passion and from whom I could never escape. It turns out that all that anthropomorphic horseshit about how God is a really nice parent, just like your mom, is just that. It is a pile of horseshit, and it is also horseshit that 'God is a human being' having taken on a human form and therefore it just logically follows that you can think about God in human categories. Whatever human emotions demand of God, that is what God then becomes, but unfortunately, God is not a human being, the 'Virgin Birth story' was a forgery, as I mentioned in previous posts (more of that critical analysis that I was alluding to above).

NOw it turns out that there is a trace of God left on this planet, in spite of all the ruinous religion that was the root cause of the exile. The closest thing you will ever find to an accurate description of God on this planet is found in thw writings known as 'the prophets of YAHWEH' in the Bible. Now that people did not make this discovery is understandable, given the contradictions and bullshit found in the Bible. I should introduce a caveat here and point out to people that prophets of YAHWEH as found in the Bible were edited, and for this reason, they are also found to be contradictory, and thus not one hundred percent reliable. The worst example of this sort of thing is found in Jeremiah, where the prophet speaks with a forked tongue because of the editing into the manuscript of contradictory passages. (The passages wherein Jeremiah condemns that animal sacrifice as a fraud and condemns the laws about burning at the stake as 'not even entering God's mind', or condemning the entire Torah (the laws of God) as a forgery, these would be genuine since it is unlikely that a religious dogmatic would forge Biblical criticism such as this, while the passages where Jeremiah calls on everyone to sacrifice a cow forever would be the contradictory forgeries inserted into the manuscript).

Now when someone puts words into the mouth of God, by forging stories of Moses going up some mountain to bring down murderous laws, and then these slanderous laws are called 'the Laws of God' which would then make them the 'laws of YAHWEH', the result is the creation of YAHWEH, otherwise known as Frankenstein. Yes, God is just dreadful, wrathful all the time and very bad tempered, and quite fearful and terrible to be near. No God is not Santa. No God is not really nice all the time like your fucking mom. God is just horrible, just the way God is described in those prophets of YAHWEH. Truly wrathful and just dreadful and greatly to be feared.

It seemed to me that I had become the victim of a great tragedy, in that I went up the mountain in Banff to find God, and much to my endless regret, I was successful. I found God, which meant that I found Frankenstein. What I did not understand, and what it took me years to really understand, was that God was not a bully and a tyrant, but rather that YAHWEH, the wrathful terrifying God, was the creation of human religion, plain and simple. Even though people have been plunged into the merciless darkness of ruthless, remorseless, pitiless exile as punishment for the creation and editing of the Bible and as the payment due for their theology and religions, they haven't learned a damn thing from the vicious experience and so it is easy to predict that since, as I discovered, YAHWEH is still God, and YAHWEH is still in one hell of a bad mood, I would warn people here that this planet has not seen the last of YAHWEH, the God is Israel, the wrathful and terrible God of the Jewish Prophets, and as I discovered when I went up the mountain, my God as well.

Divine Mercy Congress Planned at Vatican

2007-11-15T22:42:00.000-08:00

Isn't God ruthless and pitiless to humanity? Does God exist, a pitiful human might wonder as they wrestle with the feeling of pain. 'Drop dead,' says God, 'and maybe you will find out then.'

Apparently the Vatican has decided to hold the very first annual 'Divine Mercy' congress. "The congress on Divine Mercy will held April 2-6, in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. The date was chosen to coincide with the third anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II, as Divine Mercy was a major theme of his pontificate."

I anticipate the inauguration of this pointless annual celebration of nonexistent 'divine mercy' to be the attempt by the Vatican to, hopefully, dish out enough of that religious morphine to dope some people up enough that they will no longer feel the pain when they are reminded that YAHWEH, the God of Israel, is God, and that when God is offended by religion YAHWEH becomes wrathful, and our God becomes a real tough miserable son of a bitch, just as those prophets of YAHWEH in the Bible warned people would be the case.

Now once the Vatican gets through with that job of training people to ignore those prophecies in the 'Old Testament' they might want to move on to making people forget those prophecies in the 'New Testament.' For example there is that prophecy about how a sower went out to sow his seed, and then after he was done, his enemies showed up and tossed out a bunch of thistle seeds. Later on some people came to the gardener and said to him, 'why didn't you use good seed...look at that weed patch you have going there.' And the gardener replied, 'I did use good seed, but our enemies came along and sowed that thistle patch...we will just leave it there until harvest time, at which time we will burn the thistles and and carry whatever wheat was able to grow in the midst of that thistle patch into the granary.'

Perhaps if we wish to make people forget all those prophecies in the New Testament there could be an annual 'Divine Favor' celebration, where people would celebrate all the wonderful things that some god does, such as 'living in their hearts', which is real generous, and makes up for a lot that we see in the world around us, since such things do require us to be on morphine to kill the pain of having bold fearless reckless evil on the loose all the time.

We should also be trained to ignore the doctrine of the blackness of exile. "God's ears are not to deaf to hear nor are God's arms to weak to save, but rather the sin of your religion has separated you from your God." Therefore, according to the prophet of YAHWEH, whenever a people find themselves experiencing 'the long dark night of the soul', especially for long long ages of time, and when evil is running amok on the planet, it is not because it was a 'divine mystery', but rather religious people were sinful bastards, you see, and their religion was worthless hoax. This is also something we should be made to forget, this simple common sense principle, and so perhaps there should also be a day to help us forget that simple concept as well, since we apparently need a day to help us forget that there is no such thing as divine mercy to be found on this miserable and godforsaken planet, the fault so obviously being found in its godforsaken religions.

YAHWEH

2007-11-15T22:15:00.000-08:00

You may have heard the story of the Jewish people (billed as "God's specially chosen people") and what happened to them in gas chambers. After being herded into what appeared to them to be showers, the doors would be locked and then Zyklon, an insecticidal gas, used to kill cockroaches, bedbugs, and Jews, as it turns out, was introduced into the chamber. As the deadly fumes spread, there would be mass panic in that gas chamber, and the Jewish people inside would rush towards the doors in blind panic in an attempt to escape their doom. When the doors were opened some Jewish slaves would then pry apart the tangled mess of bodies piled up at the doors and toss them into the fires to be cremated, while other slaves would use shovels to pick up the mounds of shit and yet other slaves worked with mops and pails to mop up the large puddle of piss on the floor, since it turned out that "God's people" had shit themselves in terror and pissed on the floor as they exited the world.

Even if the people of Israel were to become as numerous as the grains of sand on the sea shore, only a small remnant would survive the massacre and live long enough to return to the land of Israel, for the judgment executed against them would be summary and final. Or so said one of their prophets, and in this instance we can see that there are times that a prophet could actually hit a nail right on the head and make a prophecy which was a prophecy, as is certainly the case in this example.

Now the Jewish people, when they were not running from the deadly enemies for ages of time, took some time to study what their rabbis called 'the Law of God'. According to the story this was a divine scroll dictated to Moses up on some mountaintop and then delivered to the world as a gift by the custodians of the divine law, the Jewish people of Israel. Among the wonderful ideas of God were those massacres, genocides, robberies, raping, plundering and pillage, as well as forcing everyone to wear fig leaves and burning people at the stake if they did not wear fig leaves but were found to be human beings, which is a crime punishable by death, according to all our religions, which have at least that much in common.

Hitler decided to put a stop to those Jews and prevent them from spreading around their rotten stories about some so called 'god', and the best way to get rid of that Jewish god was to get rid of those Jews. If some alleged god like being actually existed, then that god could save a Jew, thus saving the reputation of that god at the same time as a Jew and the sacred scroll were being saved by that god.

One of the consequences of Hitler's attack is that now Israel is for the most part a secular nation. Sure, there are still a few weird fanatics who cannot see the writing on the wall, and are, together with their virulently right wing rabbis, currently giving the full Torah treatment to the Palestinians, killing them, knocking down their houses and stealing their land one piece at a time. Even those this behavior is scandalizing the entire world, thus earning Israel a spot in the top three on the list of the world's most evil countries, according to those poll results, it is still, I think, a very good thing those Jewish fanatics are doing, for it does demonstrate why it was that Jewish prophets were always making those wrathful prophecies and attacking the supposedly sacred cow murder ritual and referring to Israel as 'a whore who sheds blood' and who brings woe upon herself by 'building Zion with bloodshed and violent injustice.'

There are those who have taken Hitler's lesson to heart, and are convinced that there really are no gods whatsoever, for if there was a god, then why, oh why, would this dreadful thing have happened to Israel, not to mention all the other dreadful things that take place on this planet. However, this is a narrow point of view, perhaps typical of those who live in a post religious culture, in particular a post Christian culture such as ours, where people have been stupidly trained to believe that God is a lovely parent type, just like your lovely grandma or your mom. Apparently not, and the only conclusion that a person could logically draw from all this is that either their certainly are no gods at all, or that YAHWEH is God, and that the truth about God is that God is just dreadful and truly terrible, as you can tell by the horrors that rained down upon the head not only of Israel, but also upon the heads of all of humanity in a punishment ruthlessly administered without so much as a trace of mercy or pity being shown for long long ages of time as the punishment due for that idiotic form of naked blasphemy and oppression known as 'divine religion'.

The Silent Treatment

2007-11-15T21:55:00.000-08:00

I just read that a Saudi teen aged girl who was gang raped was just sentenced by some Muslim Sharia court to suffer 200 lashes and 6 months in jail as part of her punishment for that crime. At first she was sentenced to 90 lashes, because she was a passenger in a car where the driver was not one of her male relatives. When she appealed the sentence, the higher court increased the sentence, because in launching an appeal she was showing disrespect for the Muslim court system. Her defense lawyer was also disbarred for participating in the appeal.

You know, I was thinking about how when it comes to religion and God, human beings suddenly become extremely stupid. They have more brains when it comes to understanding human relationships, which don't give them a problem, but a relationship with God gives them a big problem and they suddenly become stupid. Here we must assume that God does in fact exist, because when you have religion you don't have any god, a situation that exists for so many long ages of time, that eventually the very existence of any god whatsoever is thrown into doubt. The gods of religion have one thing in common, in that they were very powerful and mighty only for a very brief time, a long long long time ago, when those gods got busy long enough to write books before those gods then vanished and left us with books and not much else.

Now if one person did not speak to another person for twenty years, the first person would understand that there was a problem in that relationship. 'He hasn't spoken to me in twenty years,' they would say, and they would understand that when someone give you the silent treatment that means that they don't want to have anything to do with you because they have some kind of problem with you.

The same simple common sense is never found in any religion on this planet, in that when God gives the religious the ruthless silent treatment for long long ages of time, if you were to ask a religious person about their alleged 'relationship with a god' they will reply that everything is hunky dory, just as it always was and always will be. Religion is always perfect, the one true faith. This is what religious people have to say about that nonexistent relationship. The only conclusion that I can draw from this weird behavior is that religious people really don't give a damn about any god at all, and it must be true that religious people are so damned dogmatic that even God must become converted to their religion. This would then explain why we have so many gods, because each of these motionless do nothing gods of the world are the creation of one group or another of religious people, who, since they cannot convert God to their religion, just make up a god and carve some god out of book verses and then call that do nothing idol a god.

Yes, this god dwells in their hearts, and we can 'have a relationship with Jesus' through reading 'holy scriptures' and we can commune with this church Jesus who is present in some snack cracker called the Eucharist. Everything is perfect and just dandy, for the gods of religion have left us with the divine gift of religion to make up for the fact that we have no gods here. The gods have left the planet and gone to ghost heaven to await out deaths, an event we should look forward to with joy. Oh generous gift of the gods, the promise of dropping dead and going to ghost heaven. How lovely. How sublime. How perfect are the generous gifts of those book scribbling gods of religion. How merciful. How tender. How like a loving grandpa or how good to you, just like your mom.

Later on, when those religious people discover, for the very first time, that YAHWEH is God, and that God is very wrathful and not very nice to them at all, they can remember how it was that they were so damned mulishly stubborn that even when they were not spoken to for long ages of time, instead of using simple common sense and understanding that there was some kind of a problem with that so called relationship they claimed to be having, they made up stupid excuses and cooked up theological fictions all intended to deny the reality of their exile. Therefore since even the horrors of the long dark night of the soul and the ghoulish specter of the endless eternal darkness of godless death was not enough to purge them of their worthless religion, they will be hearing from YAHWEH God in no uncertain terms at some point in the future, and I don't think they will be able to cook up some rationalization to make that sows ear they will be getting from God into some kind of theological silk purse.

The Maniac on the Mount

2007-11-09T01:09:00.000-08:00

The first five books of the Bible are known as the Torah, which translates as ‘the law of God.’ Rumor has it that Moses went up the mountain and stayed there for forty days holding meetings with God during which time God dictated and Moses wrote down what God was going on about, and in this way we have the true divine laws, and we know it, because it was all dictated by God during a divine encounter on top of some mountain in the Sinai desert.

For some reason Moses decided to bring down those five books and publish them as ‘the divine law of God’ rather than secretly slipping away and tossing those manuscripts into the fire before there was a chance that the bad influence of God might turn humanity into a collection of fanatical maniacs.

It turns out that God is a maniac. God wants genocide and ethnic cleansing, rape, plunder, looting and pillage.

"Put the men to the sword, but the women and all the spoil you may take as booty. This is how you are to deal with far away lands. But in the lands that nearby you must not spare a living soul." Deut. 20:10

"Annihilate the nations you are dispossessing and make your home in their country." Deut. 12:29

"Put the inhabitants to the slaughter without giving any quarter and burn their town down." Deut. 13:15

“Kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man, and kill every little boy, but keep the virgins for yourselves…divide them up evenly.” Num. 31:17

God did not want to come down and do all that mass murder in person, but rather it was the will of God to outsource to human beings the dirty job of all that up close and personal sword hacking.

“God’s purpose in doing this was to train future generations in the art of warfare, that is, all those who had not known it before.” Judges 3:2

Centuries later this dreadful problem would repeat itself when once again God would dictate another book, this time to Mohammed, and God would once again call for more of that same sword chopping and would also demand that Muslims use knives to saw off human heads. This latest violent trouble making rant of God was then published as the ‘Koran’. Bad habits are so hard to break. Apparently this will be the last time God will be found stirring up violence for according to what the Muslims tell us the Koran is ‘the seal of the prophets’ and was God’s last word on the subject, so we can expect no more trouble from God in the future and that only leaves us to get rid of all the trouble that God caused in the past. If we can just find some way to shake off the filthy influence of God in the past then finally humanity will be safe from the mind warping ideology of God, unless God also turns out to be a liar, and discards the promise made to those Muslims, and decides to try again and write just one more document.

There is a possibility that God might want to break that promise to those Muslims that the Koran would be God’s top document and final word, for it is characteristic of God to bitch and complain to prophets that no one ever listens to God on this planet. Now I do see that there are a few Muslims who are still willing to obey God and saw those heads off with knives and bring in really tough Sharia law, and there are fundamentalist Christians who remain devoted to doing some of God’s law, if not every last one like they used to do when they were killing all those natives a few generations ago (“Kill all the natives of the land. You must not leave a single one alive.” God). But things are slipping and falling behind. It would seem that humanity needs a fresh dose of God to get the violence level back up to par on this planet and that probably means another one of those divine interventions, and therefore humanity should be on the watch for another one of those Maniacs on the Mount. It could happen at any time.

Breaking free of the cruelty of God has always been a problem for the human race, for there is always one more Maniac on the Mount who will appear on the scene to cause even more trouble, this sort of thing happening from time to time throughout history. They tell us this ‘Jesus Christ’ was the Son of God, which means that it must have true that this ‘Jesus’ was the Son of Sam, the Son of a Maniac. This would seem to be true, for ‘Jesus’ was just one more of those Maniacs on the Mount. This you can confirm for yourself by reading through his famous ‘Sermon on the Mount’ and you will find that he certainly qualifies for the title ‘Son of God’ for this much celebrated sermon is just one more of those rants that we expect when some Maniac is on the Mount.

According to the wise council of ‘Jesus’ in that most celebrated of sermons, no one must ever think that he was going to cancel out those previous laws of God. Apparently some people might have somehow have gotten the idea that he might be canceling the Laws of God, but he wasn’t going to cancel even so much as one of those deranged laws. No, certainly not, for heaven and earth could pass away and hell could freeze over ten times colder than Antarctica, and he would still not cancel even so much as one of those laws. Rather he was launching a crackdown and those laws would all be kept around and fulfilled right down to the last dot over the last letter ‘i’ and until the last letter ‘t’ would be crossed. No one should ever think he was in favor of watering down some of the worst of those dreadful, awful laws, because he wasn’t and those horrible laws would all be done right down to the last letter. This is the opening salvo of this ‘Jesus’, the famous fundamentalist declaration of the infallible inerrancy of the Bible, and is just the way this ‘Jesus’ had of setting us all straight by letting us know we were going to be disappointed if we were expecting something other than another Maniac on the Mount.

If this ‘Jesus’ had any complaints about those laws it was that they were much too merciful and his intention was to toughen up those laws and make them even stricter than before. Yes, what humanity required was a crackdown, especially when it came to those sex laws, which were not tough enough, because they had been watered down by Moses. Moses just was not tough enough when it came to sex and left to many loop holes because he was going easy on those people. ‘Jesus’ was not about to make that same mistake, and indeed he would be fixing that glaring error by plugging any remaining sex loop holes.

If anyone even so much as thought about sex that would be punished the same way this ‘Jesus’ would punish a person for actually having had sex, because he was making those dreadfully murderous Bible sex laws even stricter than before. Those Bible sex laws only punished sex acts with the death penalty (being burned alive at the stake or stoned to death one stone at a time). This ‘Jesus’ was cracking down and making those laws even more severe, for he would be burning people in hell for even thinking about sex acts, thus plugging that gaping hole in those previous laws whereby people were only punished for doing sex, thus leaving them free to think about sex and get away with it.

Therefore, according to sage advice of that latest of the Maniacs on the Mount, it would be better for humanity to saw their hands off throw those sawed off hands into the fire to prevent criminal acts of masturbation, for he was burning people in hell for the sex thoughts that went along with that sex act of jerking off. Better for that hand to be punished with the death penalty than for the whole body to remain attached to that sinful hand and suffer the same consequences. It would be better for them to poke their eyeballs out with a salad fork if they couldn’t stop themselves from looking, and throw those sexually sinful eyeballs into a fire, for it would be better for those two sexually sinful eyeballs to burn than to have ‘Jesus’, that latest divine Maniac on the Mount, throw those two eyeballs into hell with the person still firmly attached.

Contemplation of all this causes me to wonder if people ever stop to think before they praise our divine preachers, or before they bust out into song over that sermon delivered by that Maniac on the Mount. I have to wonder about this after having listened to this fundamentalist Maniac on the Mount thump the Bible, and declare that contradictory pile of nonsense to be infallible and inerrant, and then launch even more lunatic attacks on humanity than those launched by Moses, that first Maniac on the Mount, a tradition then carried on by the Maniac Mohammed, who was just as deranged as those other two maniacs.. Does anyone ever actually read that monstrous Rant on the Mount before they bust out into praise for that poisonous sermon? Apparently it doesn’t take much to please some people, and even if some deranged maniac should climb up a mountain and launch into some delusional vicious rant, for some damnable reason that fundamentalist attack will be celebrated far and wide, by liberals and conservatives alike, as one of history’s greatest sermons delivered by one of the greatest philosophers of all time, even though if you actually read that thing and thought carefully about what you were reading it would be obvious that this is not some divine philosopher but rather just another one of those Maniacs on the Mount.

Maniacs and Atheists

2007-11-09T01:07:00.000-08:00

You know, I tell people that story about how I went up the Mount in Banff National Park, and they don’t believe me. (Banff, Adam goes to Banff) I can understand that, because we have had maniac religion and Maniacs on the Mount and their psycho scribblings passed off as ‘scripture’ and even ‘the word of a god’, and that would mean that we had religion with no god. It has been like that for a very, very long, long time. What all these atheists fail to see is the obvious. You see, what self respecting God would attend church or show up at some mosque? Now a self respecting God would show up at Banff, and the reason for that difference is that I was not and am not now a Maniac, and so therefore I can succeed where religion has failed, for religion is blasphemy, and you really should not expect much from God when your mouth is full of filthy blasphemy. If there is one thing an atheist and everyone else could learn from this bitter experience of brutal exile is that the punishment for such blasphemy is awe inspiring in its severity. It is also a rather long extended affair, this punishment, lasting for centuries and even ages of time, for religion is a stubborn and filthy thing and therefore the punishment, ruthless, merciless exile, must match the crime, and since it is almost impossible to rid the planet of religion, that punishment will take one hell of a hell of long, long time.

On Maniacs, and how they were found on Mounts

2007-11-09T00:57:00.000-08:00

If some Maniac wants to climb a mountain, and start ranting, this would not be a problem, if it were not for the practice of occasionally canonizing Maniacs. Most Maniacs on Mounts are long forgotten, but periodically some Maniac gets lucky and starts a religion and then the trouble starts. It turns out that once some Maniac gets lucky it takes forever and a day to ditch the insanity that came spewing out of the mouth of that deluded psycho when that psycho climbed some mountain and then cut loose with some filthy, ruinous rant that then somehow became divine and then widely celebrated and praised for one hell of long, long time.

Now the problem we have with Maniacs climbing Mounts is obviously a problem of forgery and fraudulent claims, and this would be true no matter which way a person looked at the problem. An atheist would claim that the deranged rant of a maniac was obviously not ‘the word of some god’ but by definition must be a fraudulent forgery, for no god exists. I am not an atheist myself, having spent a little time up a few of those mountains myself, but I draw the same conclusion as the atheist, that these are obviously forgeries, and I am encouraged that God agrees with me on this one, for as we all know so very well, there is no God to be found in religion, and there has been no God here for as long as religion has existed. I can understand how YAHWEH God feels about this matter, because I also want to stay as far away from that disgusting pile of monstrous maniac muttering as I can get, and like God, I refuse to have anything to do with such disgraceful blasphemous slander and filth, which would also go a long way to explaining why I have had luck up on the mountains while religion never had any luck at all.

But I digress and wander off the topic…

The gospel known as Matthew has pride of place as the first of those gospels in the Bible. This is a complex and complicated document, in that it is the product of what can only be explained and understood as being the result of multiple redactions. Redaction is a form of editing whereby a secondary source is weaved into a primary source, with the final redacted document becoming a product of the synthesis of these separate sources. In the Bible such redaction can usually be recognized by the contradictions and inconsistencies introduced into the document, for the main purpose of so much Biblical redaction is that it is done for ideological reasons. Someone did not like what someone else said and decided to put words into their mouth, and since the ideology of the redactor was in disagreement with the ideology of the original author the result is curious contradictions.

There are multiple contradictions found in Matthew, and then to make the document even more complex, there are contradictions found embedded within contradictions, which are indications of successive redactions. I made my first attempt to make some sense out of this document several years ago and the result of my literary analysis led me to draw the conclusion that the virgin birth story was a forgery appended to the document at a later date for ideological reasons. (See The Origins of the Virgin Birth Story). Later I discovered that the archaeological evidence backs up this conclusion, for as late as the middle of the second century copies of Matthew were in circulation that did not include the virgin birth story. Joseph, we are told, was the father of ‘Jesus’. (See Forgery in the Bible for scans of these variant versions of the Matthew document).

The method I employed in my literary analysis was to take a pair of tweezers and then pluck out each embedded contradiction in Matthew. These contradictory passages were then tossed into a pile for later analysis. What is then revealed is that there was a linked chain of contradictory insertions in the manuscript. The passages were related by ideology, and they all reflected the point of view and the ideological concerns of a fundamentalist Jewish sect. We have the appended virgin birth story, which denies that Joseph was the father of ‘Jesus’. We have the fundamentalist declaration of Biblical inerrancy and the perfection of the Torah laws found embedded in the Sermon on the Mount, where it is out of place. One of the themes of the Sermon on the Mount is an attack on the Torah Laws, following the formula, ‘you have heard it said in the Torah that you must do this, but what I say to you is ‘don’t do that.’ As one example of this sort of thing, ‘you have heard it said, ‘an eye for an eye’, but what I say to you is this. Turn the other cheek.’ Throughout the document of Matthew ‘Jesus’ is referred to by the title, ‘the Son of David’. Then in another anomalous passage there is found the explicit denial that ‘Jesus’ was ‘the son of David’, for he was not the ‘Son of David’. This is the only denial of David found in all the Christian documents, and it is equally contradictory and out of place in Matthew, where ‘Jesus’ is referred to as ‘the son of David’ countless times before this bizarre denial is found inserted into the manuscript.

The denial of David is related to the Virgin Birth story, for the purpose of the Virgin Birth story is to deny Joseph, and since Joseph is a descendant of David, to deny Joseph is to deny David. This denial of David is related to the inserted declaration of Biblical infallibility found in the Sermon on the Mount, for David was not Jewish. David was ‘a Samaritan’. Further David was a Moabite Samaritan, and Moabite Samaritans were banned from joining the Jewish religion forever and ever in the laws found in the Torah. (Actually the Torah is contradictory, for in one passage the people are forbidden to despise Moabites, for ‘Moabites are your blood brothers’ and in a contradictory passage the people are commanded to remain separate from Moabites forever and have nothing to do with a Moabite. It is this latter admonition that was the ideological impetus for the redactions found in Matthew).

To call someone a ‘Samaritan’ was similar to calling someone a ‘nigger’ or a ‘gook’. It was a racist slander in the context of the society that produced the Matthew document. Therefore, if Joseph was the father of Jesus, and if the Torah law was infallible right down to the lost dot over the last letter ‘i’, then this meant that ‘Jesus’ was the Son of David, which meant that the Messiah was a ‘Samaritan nigger’. Therefore there was no way that Joseph could be the father of ‘Jesus’, and since it would be dreadful to suggest that Mary slept around and got pregnant from another man, the only solution was to cook up that fictional story of the virgin birth, and then declare this ‘Jesus’ to be not the Son of David at all but rather ‘the Son of God.’ This was the solution of the Jewish fundamentalist redactor.

It was also true that ‘Jesus’ came from Nazareth, which was the same as saying today that he came from ‘Harlem’ or ‘Chinatown’, and since this was offensive to racists fundamentalists who believed in biblical infallibility, it was required that the redactor also cook up the fictional story of Herod’s massacre of the infants to explain how it was that Joseph and Mary fled from the pure racial town of Bethlehem to go live in Harlem with the ‘Samaritan niggers’ in order to escape from that maniac Herod. History has not record of such a massacre. Josephus, who covers all of Herod’s depravities, does not mention this event. The Jewish people have no historical memory of this event, while they still remember Massada, which happened at about the same time. The massacre of the infants was an invented forgery, inserted for the same ideological reasons that the virgin birth story was invented out of thin air and appended to the manuscript. The same mind that cooked up that virgin birth story out of thin air also cooked up that fiction concerning the massacre, and both fictions serve the same ideological function. Our redactor was a racist.

There are other curious contradictions in Matthew. Starting from chapter six, the Gospel of Matthew consists of an edited revision of the Gospel of Mark. Line by line Matthew follows the gospel of Mark, and the author, who was apparently a fundamentalist who was offended by criticism of certain Torah laws found in Mark, edits Mark to remove the offensive passages and restore the doctrine of biblical infallibility. In this context, and given the original motive for the redaction of the Gospel of Mark, it would appear that the Sermon on the Mount is out of place, and that this sermon which is inserted before the redaction begins on the gospel of Mark at chapter six, was appended later to the beginning of the manuscript by a critic of the Torah. This was then followed by another redaction when a fundamentalist inserted the contradictory declaration of biblical infallibility into the Sermon on the Mount, as well as the denial of David and the Virgin Birth Story and the Nazareth Narrative. This seems to have then been followed by another redaction by a Torah critic, in that the family tree in the book contradicts the virgin birth narrative, in that we are told that ‘Jesus’ was descended from a ‘hooker’ from Jericho and a ‘nigger’ from Moab, and since both these women were ‘niggers’ and ‘Samaritan gooks’ the suggestion is being made that this Jesus was somehow related to ‘chinks’ and ‘wops’, rather than being a member of the pure race.

This controversy over the ‘nigger’ issue as it concerned this ‘Jesus’ was not found only in Matthew’s gospel. In the gospel of John, the Jewish people attack this ‘Jesus’ on racist grounds, insisting that ‘you are nothing but a Samaritan while we are part of the pure race descended from Abraham, and you have the gall to lecture us?’ It was also said of him that he was from Nazareth, the Harlem of that time, and so people were saying, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth.’

The solution found to this racist controversy was for the religious right to attempt to placate the racists by elevating this ‘Jesus’ to the status of a divine human hybrid, a kind of god baby, with no father, and thus no racist controversy. This tactic was unsuccessful, since the Jewish racists of the time rejected this ‘Jesus’, and it was only later when the Romans and the Greeks came along that they made the mistake of not being critical and brutally honest about those manuscripts they were about to declare the holy word of God, and thus they build a fraudulent theology upon an edifice of forgery. One of the tragic consequences of this process was the creation of one Maniac on the Mount after another, since such Maniacs when found on mountains are the product of the redaction of the fundamentalists of the religious right of the time.

Lest We Forget

2007-11-07T21:25:00.000-08:00

Sunday, November 11th, is ‘Remembrance Day’ in Canada. Just this morning I saw a banner posted which showed the crosses of our war dead emblazoned with the words ‘Lest We Forget’. In keeping with the spirit of the occasion I though I would do my bit to make sure that we remember those two world wars, ‘lest we forget’, for it seems to me that on Remembrance Day we do forget one hell of a lot, and given how that seems to be the customary practice every damned year, perhaps the real motto of ‘Remembrance Day’ should be changed to ‘Lest We Remember’ for it would seem that this holiday is a celebration of hypocrisy more than a solemn remembrance of ‘our war dead’. For this reason perhaps the true motto of ‘Remembrance Day’ should be ‘Lest we Remember’ for we only have ‘Remembrance Day’ so that we will be trained, once a year, to forget one hell of lot, and so perhaps this yearly celebration of the Military Industrial Complex should be renamed ‘Forgetfulness Day’ rather than ‘Remembrance Day’ given that no one remembers a damn thing on November 11th. Given how much effort is expended to make damn sure that no one remembers a damn thing for the entire remainder of the year it seems pretty clear to me that forgetting and not remembering is the true purpose of this annual plunge into naked hypocrisy.

Sunday, November 11th,, is ‘Remembrance Day’ in Canada, and in various other countries around the world which were once part of the empire conquered by Britain in times past when it was Britain rather than the United States which was the planetary top dog. At the height of her powers Britain had invaded and conquered one quarter of the globe, and she only lost her empire because she found herself involved in two very costly feuds with Germany, a country with no imperialist colonies. Germany, like Britain, was a capitalist country and given that both Germany and Japan were resource poor nations it was essential that both these nations follow the example of all the other major capitalist countries of the world and perform a hostile takeover so that they could grab greater market share by lowering their input costs so as to increase their profits, doing so by grabbing some of those cheap resources that became available when a spot on the planet was invaded and conquered and then plundered for peanuts.

Thus was created the so called ‘third world’ for the countries which were looted and sacked were looted and sacked in order to maintain that competitive edge, for if even one competitive capitalist country were to lower their input costs by employing slave driving methods to extract those resources in the colonies this would require slave driving and deep poverty to become the norm in every other imperialist country lest they lose their competitive edge by having their costs increased because they were not miserable sons of bitches out in the colonies and thus paid a decent wage.

It is for this reason that I refer to the capitalist economic system as a game of ‘follow the dirty pig’ since the history of capitalism demonstrates that everyone, sooner or later, winds up competing with the greediest pig on the planet, this greedy pig having lowered the bar and in this way forcing everyone else to do that limbo rock where they attempt to sink low enough to slide under that bar even if it is now inches off the ground.

You can see the same principle at work today now that some really greedy pigs went to China and started paying 35 cents an hour in wages, which then started both a stampede to China, as everyone else was forced to compete and match that pig, as well as a downward plunge in wages and benefits all over the world as the entire planet is now sliding back into really brutal 19th century robber baron capitalism. This then explains why you see auto workers now giving up their pensions, which will no longer be given to anybody. It turns out that pensions and health care were anomalous developments in capitalism, available to only a couple of generations, and now finally the dirtiest greediest capitalist pigs have come up with a strategy to get rid of those things once and for all. In France Sarkozy has just come to power and you can hear the sound of that French chain saw starting up, as pensions and benefits will now be chain sawed in France so that France can remain competitive with Germany, a country that started up the chain saw several years ago (the so called ‘Hartz reforms’ which have been gutting pensions and benefits in Germany for years, thus giving Germany a competitive edge over France).

Both Germany and Japan shared a common history, in that both countries were backwards and remained bogged down in feudalism until late in the 19th century. This ended in Germany when Bismarck launched wars to conquer all the petty German speaking feudal fiefdoms and united them into one country which today we now know as Germany. In Japan the end of feudalism came about when the European imperialist powers conquered all the nations of south east Asia, and then gun boats sailed into Japanese waters. Japan escaped immediate invasion given that the Island is resource poor and hardly worth the bother of looting, but the shock induced by the appearance of those gun boats sailing in and out of Japanese coastal waters shattered the feudal order in Japan. In just a matter of a few short decades Japan underwent a rapid transformation and became an industrialized capitalist nation, and then began building those giant aircraft carriers and destroyers that would later be found bombing Pearl Harbor.

By the time that Germany and Japan emerged from feudalism and became modern nation states the party was over and the entire planet had been plundered and sacked. There were no countries in Asia remaining for Japan to invade and conquer and thus gain access to the cheap plundered resources required if Japan’s new capitalist economy was to remain competitive on the international market. For this reason Japan was forced to mount a hostile takeover of a really big country like China, and so grab market share by grabbing China’s resources. Wisely the capitalist imperialist powers left China alone, that country being to damned big to attempt to conquer, and thus Japan was left with a very difficult chew as over the course of a decade Japan struggled to choke down the plate of leftovers in China. Similarly it was inevitable that Germany would be drawn eastward to attack Russia and attempt to make Russia an imperialist colony for Germany since, once again, no other country had taken the risk of attacking a big country like Russia since they were easy pickings to be found and weak countries waiting to be attacked all over the planet. It was this common history and the common problem confronted by both Germany and Japan which would lead these two countries to became allies in the Second World War.

If you read the actual unedited texts of Hitler’s speeches in various beer halls and taverns, you will find that one of the recurring themes is Hitler’s bitter complaint that the entire planet had been divided up like a giant pie by America and the European imperialist powers, and now there wasn’t even so much as one country left over that he could invade and conquer. They took every single one, and now Germany did not have even one imperialist colony. It was all so unfair and very unjust, and for this reason Hitler’s speeches returned again and again to theme of international justice between ‘the Great Powers,’ for you see, the crusade of Hitler was a noble search for justice and equality between the really big capitalist powers of the world, which meant that Germany now had the inalienable right to attack Russia and make Russia into an imperialist colony to balance out that unfair situation that existed at that time.. The entire planet had been invaded and plundered and sacked. The Dutch controlled the Dutch East Indies. The French controlled French Indo-China. They speak Portuguese in Brazil and Spanish in Latin America. America had proclaimed the Monroe doctrine, warred with Spain and taken over Latin America, invaded the Philippines and plundered big chunks of territory taken from Mexico, and marines landed repeatedly in Nicaragua and other Latin American countries. At the height of her global conquest, Britain had invaded and conquered one quarter of the entire planet.

Now all Hitler wanted was to invade and conquer Russia. However he faced an obstacle. He would have to convince the British imperialist to go along with the plan. Britain however did not rise to global domination without a good reason why this had happened. For centuries Britain had deliberately crushed any other European power that looked like it might rise to a dominant position. Nelson had sunk the Spanish fleet and Wellington had brought an end to the rise of France by destroying Napoleon at Waterloo. British policy had been consistent for centuries. She would invade Europe and crush any other power that might rise on the continent, thus assuring the global domination of the British Empire for centuries to come. She was not about to change her policy when it came to the rise to greater power of Germany, for if Germany did plunder Russia and gained access to all the rich raw resources found on Russian soil then Britain would face an equal in Europe.

It was for this reason that Churchill was determined to stop Hitler, for the policy of Winston Churchill was just the continuation of the old British policy of previous centuries. Churchill was determined to keep what Britain had won and was not about to have British domination of the world threatened in any way by some upstart like that Hitler.

However, both British and German capitalist imperialists faced an intractable contradiction. During the first feud with Germany over the right to imperialist colonies, which we refer to as the ‘First World War’, the British Empire had gone heavily into debt, since it was not possible to pay the military expenses involved in global domination while at the same time being forced by a jealous German imperialism to pay the costs for war on the continent, and the Germans were determined to make Britain pay the price. As Hitler warned Churchill time and time again, if the British tried to stop Germany even one more time, the result would be the bankruptcy and destruction of the British Empire. The Germans also faced a contradiction in that in order to get imperialist colonies for German capitalism and ensure the competitive advantage of German capitalism in future generations, they would have to involve themselves in yet another World War against all the big imperialist powers. As history showed, this was a very risky gamble and quite unlikely to succeed, since Germany did not yet have the raw resources to fight a long war. Hitler’s solution to this problem was Blitzkrieg, so called lightening war. First Hitler would quickly knock out the other European countries in a swift lightening attack, and then he would turn eastward and have a free hand to devote Germany’s limited military capabilities to launching a similar lightening war against Russia. This would have to be a short quick war since Germany did not have any imperialist colonies and was a resource poor nation, but if this gamble succeeded then Germany would have all the raw resources of Russia at her disposal and would be able to build up her military power to such an extent that even another world war with all those other imperialist powers would not be able to threaten German imperialism ever again. Germany would get her ‘justice’ by getting some imperialist colonies and no one would stop her. This was Hitler’s plan.

Hitler was gambling that the Brits, who had been almost bankrupted by Germany the first time around, would not risk losing everything by having one more go at Germany, but Churchill was caught in a strategic dilemma in that if Britain did nothing, she would keep her empire, but over time she would lose the spot as top dog since Germany would rise up to become more powerful than Britain, the reason for this being the rich resources to be plundered by Germany in Russia. So therefore if Britain maintained her previous policy, she would go bankrupt and lose her empire, but if Britain did nothing, eventually she would lose her powerful position to Germany. For this reason Churchill decided to roll the dice, and then after the war the British attempted to hang onto to the British Empire but eventually unable to do so, because the cost of doing so was ruinous. German policy had been to open the way to the future rise of Germany by deliberately bankrupting Britain, the one country that had stood in the way of other European powers for centuries, and in this the German imperialists were eventually successful.

Hitler warned Churchill that the end result of one more of those British feuds on the continent would be that Russia would control half of Europe and America would then rise up to take Britain’s place as dominant world power, after which would follow a global struggle between America and Russia. He was correct, but even though he was talking common sense, he was unable to deter Churchill, for like Hitler, Churchill had decided to solve his strategic dilemma by means of rolling the dice and gambling.

At the same time, on the other side of the world, Japanese imperialist had resolved on a gamble similar to that taken by Hitler in Germany. The Japanese would also launch a lightening war. First they would bomb the American fleet in Pearl Harbor. Over the course of the next year, the Japanese booted the American Imperialists out of the Philippines, after which Douglas Macarthur stepped onto a boat speaking the famous words, ‘I shall return’, as he vowed to come back at Japan and reclaim that imperialist colony for America. The Japanese then threw the French out of IndoChina and kicked the British and the Dutch out of their imperialist colonies in a swift lightning war which took advantage of the fact that those European powers were locked into a struggle with Hitler in Europe and did not have the forces available at the time to stop Japan. After grabbing all those imperialist colonies for Japan the problem then became for the Tojo to hang onto his prize over the long term, which was going to prove to be a problem. However, the future of Japanese capitalism was at stake and Japan required cheap resources to lower her input costs and maintain her competitive position in the market, and since China was a very tough chew and the expense was hardly worth the effort, Japan decided to gamble on lightning war and grab some of those easier and more profitable imperialist colonies that were at the time being looted by America and the European capitalist powers.

Hitler’s beer hall speeches at the time were masterpieces in ironic sarcasm. Churchill was a bald faced hypocritical liar which made him an easy target. Churchill would attempt to stir everyone up for war by speaking darkly about Hitler’s bully boys and their maniacal plan for world domination. In response Hitler would feign mock modesty and remind everyone that he did not have any imperialist colonies. My world, Hitler said, is a small world, and involves only my daily concern with just the German people. There are others whose thoughts daily must turn to global domination, such as Churchill, who had to maintain British domination over one quarter of the conquered planet. To such as these men, said Hitler, belong thoughts of global world domination. For him his thoughts everyday were about Germans, and only Germans, since he did not have any imperialist colonies to occupy his thoughts with plans for getting and then keeping world domination.

According to Hitler, Churchill was one of the worst war mongers on the planet. As Hitler kept telling the German people in those speeches of his, time and time again he had offered peace to Churchill. He greatly admired the British Empire and didn’t have a problem with Britain invading and conquering one quarter of the known world, just so long as Churchill would be reasonable and let Hitler invade just one country, like Russia. It would be such a pity if Churchill was to lose the British Empire by attempting to stop Hitler from invading Russia, and no one would be sadder than Hitler to see British Imperialism collapse into ruins, for this was never his intention. No, Hitler admired countries that invaded the whole world and did not want anything bad to happen to them, and if only the British people would not listen to that war mongering liar like Churchill perhaps they could come to a peaceful agreement. Hitler would invade Russia, getting a German colony and ending Marxism as a favor for the rest of the world, and then Hitelr would guarantee the British Empire for generations as a show of gratitude. If Britain was a little short of cash and some colony was in revolt, Hitler would supply troops to help the cash strapped Brits keep that colony under control.

Now that Remembrance day has once again come along, it is once again that time of the year when we forget all these things. Yes it is time for that annual celebration of the Military Industrial Complex, the time for everyone to gather in solemn assembly and reflect gratefully upon the great sacrifices made by that Military Industrial Complex so that we could all enjoy such things as free speech and democracy, for are not all these things the gift generously bestowed upon us in the spirit of nobles oblige by that Military Industrial Complex, for no other reason that that they just love us so much. Yes, whenever there is a threat to free speech or democratic rights or constitutional law the Military Industrial Complex stands ever at the ready, on guard for our freedoms. This is why we pay trillions of dollars to keep that thing going, to protect these things. Except for the past few years, when for some puzzling reason various constitutions are being threatened by rising states of fascism and the Military Industrial Complex hasn’t said much about it, much less done anything about it. Perhaps this a break with tradition given their past history of plunging even entire planets into bloody ruin when the smallest threat to free speech and constitutional rights appeared.

Those with an historical memory might recall that ‘free speech’ and ‘constitutions’ are things gained by means of what was known as, in just one example, ‘the American Revolution’, during which the Revolutionary armies gunned down the oppressive military industrial complex of the day, finally pumping that thing so full of bullets that the oppressive military power was unable to prevent the rise of free speech and democracy. It certainly wasn’t a gift. But then this is ‘Remembrance Day’ once again, and I would suppose that this is yet one more thing we should be made to forget on this the most forgetful day of the year.

Dogmatism

2007-11-02T00:12:00.001-07:00

Where there is found to be a conflict between experience and doctrine, it is always experience that takes precedence. Doctrine is either modified so as to create a satisfactory agreement with experience, or in those cases where no satisfactory resolution of a conflict between actual lived experience and a doctrine religious people adapt to this situation by becoming bigoted and dogmatic about the erroneous doctrine.

One example of this sort of thing is that bit about how the religious God is just like a kindly parent, and what kindly parent would ever give someone a stone or a serpent when they asked for a loaf of bread. Of course all parents nurture and feed and care for their children, but God cares for no one, and we have even see weirdoes slaughtering ‘God’s specially chosen children’ and suffering no consequences for doing so. Certainly experience teaches religious people that if they need a loaf they are much better off to look to the protection of Caesar and not rely upon a cracked and broken stick such as a God.

Given this deep conflict that exists between supposed doctrine and actual experience in the real world religious people respond by simply being mindlessly dogmatic about the doctrine of God as a caring and concerned parent. The explanation for this behavior pattern is found in the explanation that modern psychology gives for the phenomenon of bigotry, since dogmatism in religion is just a variant expression of bigotry. Cognitive dissonance occurs when the truth is kept repressed in the unconscious mind. What is on the surface is the bigoted view point, and whenever reality threatens to intrude and cause the repressed truth to surface this is prevented by an outburst of bigotry, or in the case of religious people, an outburst of stubborn dogmatism. Often such expressions of a bigoted point of view are accompanied by hypocritical pseudo-indignation and the source of the fury of bigotry is the rage felt by the individual as the threatened rupture of a type of intellectual dam that keeps the truth safely barricaded in the unconscious mind.

A bigot or a dogmatic needs to believe that certain things are true in order to preserve a certain world view and it would appear that while people can be very dishonest with themselves the human unconscious mind is unable to tell a lie, and this is the root cause of the problem of religious violence and the desire to kill the heretical unbeliever so as to keep them quiet and thus unable to disturb the delicate equilibrium that exists within the mind of religious dogmatic. Religious violence occurs because religious people are dogmatic bigots and people become bigots when they believe a falsehood, or, in the case of religious people, when they are worshipping idols.

The Theology of Exile

2007-11-02T00:11:00.000-07:00

Experience creates doctrine and is the foundation of all so called ‘theology’. The meaning of the word ‘theology’ is ‘the study of God’, but in actual practice ‘theology’ is a description of the lived experience of religious people. In this world there are only two logical expressions of ‘theology’, the first being ‘the theology of exile’ which describes a world where religion has been totally forsaken and abandoned completely by God, which provides an intellectually satisfying explanation of observed reality if we conclude that God does exist. The second satisfactory theology is no theology at all, in that no God exists, and this is a theology that agrees with lived experience of many people, and is in most cases the actual belief system of even many religious people who never ask for loaves because they know based upon bitter experience that no loaf would be forthcoming and public humiliation is all one could expect for being foolish enough to ask. For this reason religious people say their prayers and then they get down to the real business at hand, lobbying Caesar, or doing the work of God themselves because if they don’t do it no one will.

The theology of religion is a theology that categorically rejects the concept of ‘exile’ and ‘punishment’ and attempts to create a mental frame through which to interpret the actual lived experience of the religious in such a way as to normalize and rationalize these experiences by resolving certain intractable contradictions. The exile is explained as being the product of ‘original sin’ that, tragically, has caused a great barrier to go up separating God from humanity. This concept then justifies the practice of a religion that has no God, for it is said to be the task of religion to build a bridge between humanity and God, a task assigned to religion by that absent God before that God left the scene after briefly intervening just long enough to create religion, and then disappeared never to be seen again.

The alternative to this doctrine of original sin would be to acknowledge that the real cause of the gulf that exists between humanity and God is religion itself. Religion is rejected and thus in exile, which would then give us a satisfactory explanation of the so called divine mysteries of God. Divine mysteries are resorted to in order to describe the intractable contradiction that exists between expected dogma (God as a very nice guy) and actual observed reality (God as a distant, remote ruthless prick). Where such ‘divine mysteries are found there we would also find exile, for the purpose of this ‘divine mystery’ is to simply deny the exile and claim that the contradiction is a lovely divine mystery of some sort or another.

The existence of a place called ‘heaven’ where ghosts go when they leave dead human bodies and is the abode of a god of the dead is also a signal indicator of the state of exile. It is either true that religion is in exile, and thus will never receive a thing from some god in this world, or it must be true, as the atheists insist is the case, that no god exists and that therefore religious people must resort to such fantasies as the delusion that some remote and very distant, ominously silent god type being lives up in a place called heaven while waiting for human beings to drop dead so that a ghost can come out of their bodies and join this god in heaven.

In order to rationalize the experience of brutal exile it is necessary for religion to take a theological lemon and add lots of sugar and so produce some more of that theological lemonade. Apparently it does not occur to religious people that those who are being very obedient to God would be found sucking a lemon when they were given a lemon to suck, and only the rebellious will be found squeezing lemons, adding sugar water, and then drinking sweet lemonade.

If religious people want to know for certain that there is in fact a god of the dead waiting for them after death up in ghost heaven they have no choice but to suck on that lemon and just wait until the very moment of death, or more correctly, for the very moment after death, assuming that such a moment actually does exist. No one knows. Does God exist? ‘Drop dead,’ says this God, ‘and maybe you will find out.’ Throughout the ages this divine mystery has been maintained by means of ruthless, merciless pitiless silence. Humanity can suffer and they can suck that lemon, says that God, assuming that a God exists. No one knows, and this is yet one more of those lemons that must be sucked until the lips pucker. Religion offers sugar, since a spoon full of sugar, it is said, helps to kill the mouth puckering taste of that bitter, bitter lemon.

“Drop dead,” says God. Therefore, since this is the divine message religion has received from God, and since religion is rebellious, which is why they get a snake or a stone instead of a loaf or a fish, it just logically follows that religion must once again reach for the sugar bowl and make some more of that lemonade out of that lemon. Religion must go forth into the world and with a rhetorical flourish, religion must preach the glorious salvation of the ‘Drop Dead’ gospel, encouraging everyone to accept religion so that they can ‘Drop Dead’ and become a ghost up in ghost heaven as per the mysteriously divine plan of God. Anyone can tell just how deeply reverent religious people are because even when God is being a son of bitch and a real mean miserly bastard by asking people to play that guessing game (decide, choose Jesus, yes or no, its your best guess) instead of complaining about that cruel tough minded old bastard, God, religious people praise and glorify that mean son of a bitch and obediently preach the ‘drop dead gospel’ to all humanity. It was the divine message : ‘Drop Dead’. Therefore what is required is spoonfuls of sugar, or even cupfuls and buckets filled with that sugar to make the sour taste of such a pungent lemon go down in the most delightful way.

Religion as Trap and Snare

2007-11-02T00:10:00.000-07:00

The long punishing exile of religion proves to be an incurable condition and a state which we would expect to last forever, assuming that godless religion could ever last forever (an unlikely scenario) or we would expect the exile to last to the bitter end of the exile, assuming that God existed and thus an end to the exile was forthcoming. Therefore we would anticipate the collapse and ruin of religion followed by endless eternal darkness (God does not exist) or we would anticipate the collapse and ruin of godless religion followed by the termination of the state of exile (God does exist). We would not expect an interruption of the exile at some intermediate point, but rather we would expect religion to be handed over to the jailer and the torturer until each generation has paid the very last cent of the debt owed, and this is true because religion is an inescapable trap and a deadly snare.

The reason for that religion becomes an eternal trap from which few religious people can ever escape is found in understanding the phenomenon that psychologists refer to as ‘mortality salience’. When we have religion we have a ‘divine mystery’. Does God really exist? This is the great controversy that rages for generations in every society that has a tradition of religion. If God does not exist, then this means that the eternal bottomless pit that everyone seems to be heading towards during their life’s journey is just what it appears to be. It is eternal endless darkness and an everlasting void, the endless eternity of death and nonexistence. Since when people have religion they have godless religion, uncertainty, and what has been called ‘the long dark night of the soul’ (referring to all those fearful doubts that arise from time to time in the soul of every believer in their more honest moments) therefore the only solution that can be found to this problem is to become very dogmatic and insist that religion is perfect. Religion is perfect. While it is true that no god of any sort has been seen since some fantastic and very brief period of time in the very ancient past, nevertheless such an absence of God cannot be construed as a damnation of religion, for the damnation of religion is the end of God, or so they seem to think. No, rather it is true that religion is like a strong and mighty bridge that connects humanity to the past, when, for a very brief time, there was a God. Furthermore, before that God went away on a long extended leave, that God gave explicit instructions that religious people maintain this bridge to the ancient past when there was a God, for no bridge no God.

In this way people keep having religion, which means that they prolong the exile, which then brings that torturous dread, that mortality salience, which then impels religious people to continue work on bridge repair, leading to more religion, leading to more condemnation and damnation of religion, and more brutal merciless exile, which then extends the reign of the long, dark night of the soul, leading once again to even more dogmatic religion, and more damnations and ever lengthening bitter exile. Bucket loads of sugar will be required, with the amount of sugar becoming ever greater the longer the brutality of the experience of this punishing exile continues and the sour lip puckering flavor of that lemon becomes ever more sour with the passage of centuries, and yes, even ages of time.

It is for this reason that religion becomes a deadly trap and a snare from which humanity never escapes. They were doomed by their religion right from the very start and they would remain in jail until they paid the last cent and completed the very last day of the entire sentence. The hope for a reduced sentence would prove to be a futile hope, for it would require release upon the grounds of good behavior, and there wouldn’t be any good behavior. There would be ever more religion, practiced ever more zealously, as religious people fled from the dread terrors of the long, dark night of the soul, seeking refuge in the very religion which was destroying throughout the entire period of the exile. For you see the alternative in the mind of religious people would be that there religion was false and that therefore no God existed and all that awaited them, and their ancestors was the endless eternal blackness of ever lasting death bringing with it their total annihilation.

Original Sin and Divine Predestination

2007-11-02T00:08:00.000-07:00

The doctrine of ‘original sin’ provides an explanation that is incoherent when considered as a philosophical proposition given its inherent contradictions. If God is both all powerful and all knowing therefore it must be the case that God was the ‘original sinner’, for God created Adam with the capacity to sin and furthermore God knew that Adam was going to sin, and far from doing something to prevent Adam’s sin, God nevertheless created Adam with the foreknowledge that in the manner of Adam’s creation was found the origins of the inevitable fall.

If this was not true, then it must the case that God was not all knowing and not all powerful. Condemning Adam for being a sinner would make about as much sense as condemning an Aardvark for being Aardvark, or condemning and Ant Eater for eating ants. Ant Eaters eat ants and sinners such as Adam sin for the simple reason that it is the created nature of Ant Eaters to eat ants just as it was the created nature of Adam to sin. Therefore it cannot be true that God cannot tolerate sin, for we can see in the world around us that God certainly created one hell of a lot sin, and did so knowingly and with foreknowledge.

The argument found in the book of Romans states that God is All Powerful and that God is also All Knowing and that therefore it was indeed God who created all the evil in the world so as to ‘demonstrate wrathfulness’ in order to ‘demonstrate justice’. All the world is therefore a stage, just as Shakespeare summarized this theological perspective in one of his plays. We are all just clay pots on the potters wheel.

An ant eater is created to eat ants. Good people are created to do good while evil people are created evil, such as Pharaoh, who was created to do evil by God so that God’s power could be demonstrated to everyone by taking down Pharaoh. It was an all powerful God who was in ‘complete control’ who deliberately placed Pharaoh upon the throne as part of that divine plan to ‘demonstrate justice’ by knocking down Pharaoh. It was all planned ahead of time, just as all the evil in the world was planned out ahead of time by God who is the only ‘original sinner’ if we assume, as is the case in the book of Romans, that God is all powerful. If this is not true, then it must be the case that evil people can somehow thwart the will of God, proving to everyone the lack of power possessed by God. Since the book of Romans is a very right wing document, this perspective is rejected, and instead evil becomes ‘the divine will of God.’

One pot is created good and another pot is created evil. This does not depend on human choices or human will but rather upon the divine will of God who is in perfect control. Before people were born and had done anything good or evil God said ‘Jacob I loved and Esau I hated.’ Therefore there is no salvation based upon works or good deeds, but all is merely dependant upon the grace of God, so that it does not rely upon human effort or human will power, but rather upon the arbitrary choice of God. This is known as the doctrine of ‘divine predestination’ and one thing that can be said in favor of this doctrine found in the Book of Romans is that as a theology it is more consistent than conventional Christian doctrine that plucks quotes out of context in the book of Romans, while ignoring the actual theological world view that informs the book – the doctrine of predestination, which is required if God is to be both All Powerful and All Knowing and yet we would still find evil in the world.

God, the Original Sinner

2007-11-02T00:06:00.000-07:00

There are those who attempt to reconcile the contradiction between the theology of predestination found in Romans with the typical Christian theology of ‘individual responsibility’ by suggesting that God chose Jacob ‘before he was born and had a chance to make his own decisions about good or evil’, because God looked into the future, saw that Jacob made good choices, and therefore chose Jacob, while rejecting Esau, before Esau was born, for the opposite reason. This is contradictory. If God looked into the future and saw evil and then God, who they say cannot tolerate even small sins, then went ahead with the creation of the world including all the evil which God saw coming beforehand, therefore it must have been the case that it was the will of God to create all that evil for that is what God did. Therefore it was the divine choice of God to create Esau in such a way that Esau was capable of doing evil, much as an ant eater is created capable of eating ants, which was also the divine choice for ant eaters. For this reason it must have been the divine will of God to reject Esau before Esau was born and had a chance to do any evil, for this was what God created. It was not Esau who had the choice of creating evil, but rather it was the divine will of God, the true original sinner, to deliberately and with malice aforethought, create every single evil thing that ever happened.

Every evil act was authorized by God and so therefore it would be pointless to pray to God to stop some evil act since before time began, and any evil act could be committed, God looked ahead into the future, saw the evil act, no matter how atrocious, and then authorized that evil act. There would be no point in praying to God to stop a tyrant, for God already authorized the evil acts of a tyrant like Pharaoh. Therefore the best thing to do is to just accept the status quo, which is the perspective that we find at the very climax at the end of the book of Romans (and it is for this reason that I call the theology of the book of Romans very ‘right wing’). Anyone who tries to change the world is guilty of screwing around with the divine order and so therefore social change or resistance to any authority figure, such as Caesar, is rebellion against God. God gave Caesar the sword to chop down anyone who defies God by rebelling against Caesar.

That the doctrine of predestination is very right wing in its political and social implications is demonstrated again and again in Paul’s letters, where he calls upon everyone to not rock any boats but rather to preserve the status quo. Slaves obey your masters, with fear and trembling, as you obey Christ, and not only while being watched. Women must wear the veil because that was the tradition. Let all of society become fossilized and let everyone remain where they are and not change anything. Become good citizens who do not question the status quo or rock any boats. The result of this perspective can be seen in the manner in which Christian civilization in Europe became fossilized and remained bogged down in unchanging backwardness for ages of time (the longest phase of this social stagnation given the apt designation ‘the dark ages). It took revolutionary upheavals and the endurance of much blood shed and torture at the hands of the church before the rise of such things as science or democracy could finally return to the earth just a few centuries ago (both science and democracy had been born in the ancient world, but both were ruthlessly stamped out by the rising power of the Christian church, for they represented social change, which was rebellion against the divine order of things as established on earth by God’s sacred decree).

One of the contradictions of the theology of predestination is found when we consider that the concept of ‘justice’ is completely absent in the book of Romans. Paul deals with his critics by telling them to shut up. ‘So you might say to me, if God created me a sinner then why am I still being judged for sin. But I say to you to shut up, for who are you that you talk back to God. Cannot God create one pot for a noble purpose and one pot for a worthless purpose…So what if God patiently endured the creatures of wrath, destined for destruction, but only so as to demonstrate the richness of his grace to the creatures of his mercy.’

There is no justice in creating an ant eater to eat ants and then damning the ant eater for ‘ant genocide’. Similarly there is no justice in God creating sinful pots and then judging the sinful pot for being sinful. According to Paul, in the book of Romans, there is no authentic ‘justice’ in the world, but rather what we see is all a fake, a divine ‘demonstration of justice.’ This is what justice would look like if such a thing actually existed. However justice cannot exist for this would mean that somehow things got out of hand and that therefore God was not all knowing and all powerful. Therefore it becomes obvious that all the world is a stage and everything we are seeing is just a fiction, cooked up by God, who for mysterious reasons, wanted to demonstrate to everyone what justice would look like if such a thing actually existed, and therefore cooked up this great and completely phony dramatic performance we call life so as to demonstrate that concept, doing it all on purpose so that no one need worry that perhaps the all powerful completely controlling God of the religious right somehow allowed things to get out of hand, and was therefore not a perfect authoritarian thus being the perfect role model for earthly right wing authoritarians (for as in heaven, so on earth).

Link to a page I wrote a few years ago discussing Paul’s theology of predestination and the interpretation of ‘original sin’ which results when this theology becomes the interpretive frame.

The Purpose of the Doctrine of Original Sin

2007-10-31T22:38:00.000-07:00

Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing. --Hannah Arendt

Speechless

2007-10-31T13:07:00.000-07:00

I find myself speechless lately. I also find myself gawking at the world in a state of dumbfounded disbelief. I may as well be talking to myself or talking to some brick wall, because there really isn't any point in having someone such as myself talking to those people, I think to myself.

Truly there has been nothing more disastrous in human history than godless religion. Apparently religious people have normalized godlessness and exile and rejection. Certainly they have fine tuned their fucked up theology so as to bring it into harmony with the reality of their godless existence.

The NIV Bible

2007-10-26T03:45:00.000-07:00

The New International Version of the Bible was a translation produced by the evangelical fundamentalists, and is now the best selling Bible in the world. One of the reasons the world needed yet another translation of the Bible is that Christian apologists were being forced to work over time cooking up stupid sounding excuses for Bible contradictions. If only such contradictions did not exist the problem would be solved. The obvious solution therefore was to produce a fraudulent mistranslation of the Bible and then insist that all true believers use this translation since all the other translations were 'satanic'.

The clearest example of this fraudulent behavior is found when comparing Jeremiah's condemnation of the book of Leviticus with the fundamentalist mistranslation in the NIV. The passage reads, 'Burn your whole offerings and eat the flesh yourselves, for on the day that I brought your ancestors out of Egypt I gave them no instructions of commands concerning whole offerings and sacrifices.' After condemning the burning stake of Leviticus and then complaining about the dogmatic stubbornness of the people, who no longer know anything at all about God, Jeremiah then makes a clear denunciation of those fraudulent Bible laws, calling them forgeries. "Now my people do not know the requirements of God. How can you say, 'we are wise, for we have the laws of God', when, actually, the lying pen of the scribes have made it into a lie."

The fundamentalists dealt with this problem by means of mistranslation so that in the NIV the verse becomes, 'Burn your whole offerings and eat the flesh yourselves, for on the day that I brought your ancestors out of Egypt I not only gave them instructions and commandments concerning whole offerings and sacrifice, but what I also told them was this....' This problem of sneaky mistranslations is a persistent and recurring feature of that worst of all Bibles, the Bible produced to help out the overworked Biblical and theological apologists, that forgery known as the NIV Bible. It is ironic that in committing all their many acts of forgery the fundamentalists actually justified Jeremiah's charge that the religious establishment was in the habit of creating forged documents. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Wonderful Sermon on the Mount

2007-10-26T03:23:00.000-07:00

'Smokey mountain' is a garbage dump where the poorest of the poor in the Phillipines live. It is called 'Smokey Mountain' because of the constant smoldering fires that burn on the garbage dump during the hot season of the year.

Now according to that wonderful advice given on the Sermon on the Mount, when you see evil in the world you must 'resist not evil.' You must turn the other cheek. It is for this reason that the previous Pope, whom right wing Catholics are now calling John Paul the Great, made a practice of canonizing Christians and making them into saints if they endured brutal oppression without complaint. If they just accepted evil and did nothing about it, not even complain, that was enough to become a saint.

One example of this saint like strategy is found in the story of Christian missionary who found herself becoming angry by the suffering of the neglected poor on 'Smokey Mountain,' but thanks to the Sermon on the Mount, she was able to get over being upset and just learn to live with evil.

When she first came to Smokey Mountain, she recalls, it was hard not to be angry at the miserable conditions in which people lived. She just wanted to "fix" them by covering their wounds and providing food and clothes.
"The little children with their bare feet -- no shoes or slippers -- just walk on the garbage," she said. Every foot has crisscrossed wounds.
Most of the people have asthma and other respiratory disease from the smoke. Many also have tuberculosis, and hepatitis is common.
"The purpose of this kindergarten is to be a bridge to bring mothers and children to Jesus Christ," Kim said. "At the very beginning I could not enjoy my work because I had such anger and depression. I kept asking, 'Why do these people have to live like this?' Then I realized it was my mission to bring them hope through Jesus Christ."
Kim believes God sent her Matthew 6:33 as an answer to her prayers, and the verse has been her guide: "But strive first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
"I cannot offer them a kingdom here on earth," said Kim, "but I can show them the way to a kingdom in heaven."

In a related story, the Lutherans of America are the latest Christian denomination to be be inspired by the Sermon on the Mount to launch a campaign against porn. For as we know, 'Jesus Christ' taught people that if they could not stop looking they should poke their eye balls out with a salad fork and throw that eye ball into the fire, and they should also chop of their right hand if they were unable to stop jerking off, since it would be better for that eye ball and that hand to be burned in a fire than to go to hell and burn forever while still being firmly attached to that evil eye ball and that hand. Barbara Keller, consultant for misconduct prevention, ELCA Vocation and Education, provided a Lutheran conference with information about Internet porn, since apparently some Lutherans are downloading some porn, and therefore it was necessary to hand out resource information on how to track down Lutherans downloading porn.

Apparently the point to be made here is that one should 'resist not evil' if the evil happens to be the porno of poverty, but sex is something that just cannot be ignored.

When Mother Theresa was asked how the poor should deal with poverty, she replied, 'They should smile more...I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people.' According to one of the nuns of her order, 'our goal is to teach poor people to deal with poverty in the right way, by accepting it.' Mother Theresa's much celebrated hospices for poor people in India consisted of nothing more than rooms where "seriously ill persons lay on mats, sometimes fifty to sixty in a room without benefit of adequate medical attention. Their ailments usually went undiagnosed. The food was nutritionally lacking and sanitary conditions were deplorable. There were few medical personnel on the premises, mostly untrained nuns and brothers." When Mother Theresa died the rich and the famous from around the world arrived to attend her funeral. The Vatican also arranged for the funeral entourage to travel through the slums of India so that the poor people of India could provide a public relations coup by showing up to show their gratitude to this famous Catholic saint, but the event turned into a fiasco when the roads were empty and the coffin was shown traveling down deserted roadways.

Training Comedians

2007-10-26T02:41:00.000-07:00

I always believed that I had not sense of humor. I used to watch some of those comedy club shows on television, and I would hear the audience laughing while some comedian was on stage, and meanwhile, there I was without so much as a snicker.

Now it was Lenny Bruce who stated that the true source of all really hilarious comedy is to be found in the great tragedies and horrors of the world. This might sound counter intuitive, because a horrible tragedy one would think was the polar opposite of something very funny. However, as I was pushed deeper into depression and despair by the horrible tragedies of the world, the day finally came when something just snapped in my mind, and then, much to my surprise I became a comedian. For the very first time in my life I found myself roaring with laughter because of a comedy routine. This meant that I was laughing at my own performance, and they say that no good comedian should ever laugh at his own jokes, but I think that must be bullshit, because if even you do not find yourself to be funny why should anyone else.

My discovery of comedy also led me to discover that so many of today’s aspiring comedians are just not funny, which would then explain why I never laughed for years when watching those comedy club programs on television. There wasn’t anything wrong with me. There was something wrong with those comedians. With that thought in mind I thought I would train today’s aspiring comedians by drawing their attention to the horrible tragedies of life so that anyone with those comedic aspirations might actually be able to achieve that great dream of theirs, the dream of being really damned funny all the time.

The great tragedy that finally pushed me over the edge into comedy was that dreadful horror known as the Second World War. So I will use this as a brief example for the purposes of training up and coming comedians who just are not funny because they don’t know how to look at the world in the right sort of way. They just don’t understand that humor is always found in horror and in tragedy. Someone needs to teach them. Since I was pushed over the edge and found myself rediscovering this long established truth I thought that someone might as well be me.

Now as we all know capitalism is a fiercely competitive dog eat dog system and for that reason it becomes necessary for all of humanity to repeatedly play the game called ‘follow the sinful pig.’ Yes, it just takes one greedy pig to just screw everyone over really good under that capitalist economic system. So when one cabal of sinful pigs lowers their input costs and increases their sales and their profits by invading and conquering some technologically backwards nation, thus begins the stampede, until finally the entire planet had been invaded and conquered, leading to the creation of what we now know today as the impoverished third world. You see, those invading capitalists were locked into a fierce competition for markets and they were not invading those imperialists colonies to bring Jesus to the world or to uplift humanity but rather to generate profits, and given how even one greedy pig could lower his costs using slave type practices and ruthless oppression, it was inevitable that all those other European countries and America would have to do the same or lose market share to that greedy oppressive pig.

Germany and Japan had one thing in common. They were both bogged down in the decaying remains of the old feudal landlord system, and both of those countries did not become modernized nations until late in the 19th century. Bismarck invaded all those little fiefdoms and united them into one German nation while Japan was shocked by the sudden take over of all of Asia by the imperialist powers, and rapidly modernized over the course of just a few decades in order to counter the threat of having Japan invaded as well. They need not have worried, since Japan, like Germany, is a resource poor nation, and thus did not get plundered and sacked as happened to the Philippines, which was invaded and conquered by the United States, or the oil rich Dutch East Indies, which were invaded and plundered by the Dutch. They speak Spanish in Mexico and they speak Portuguese in Brazil, for obvious reasons.

By the time Japan had built up a powerful modern army and Germany had done the same, all the really weak, helpless countries in the world had already been invaded and conquered. Alas, Japan and Germany were stuck with the leftovers, really big countries that those imperialist powers had wisely decided not to devour lest they wind up biting off more than they could chew. Thus Japan was forced to chew long and hard for years and years upon that leftover known as China, trying to force a big bite like that to go down and become a colony of Japan, while Germany, under Hitler, was forced to turn Eastward and attempt to devour another big left over that no other power had risked devouring, Russia. Once again we note the similarities in the situation and the strategies of Japan and Germany, which then explains the axis alliance, with Mussolini just being some Italian carpetbagger who wanted to jump onboard with what looked to him to be the next big thing and the winning team.

Now to find the humor in a great tragedy it is required that a comedian discover what I call the ‘ironic juxtaposition’. This is normally located in the exact same spot where you find hypocrisy, and since hypocrisy is normally pretty hard to miss, finding the irony in that situation is far from being impossible.

If you read the actual unedited texts of Hitler’s speeches in various beer halls and taverns, you will find that Hitler was constantly returning to the subject of ‘justice among the great powers.’ You will notice right away that never once does Hitler call for justice among the puny powers, because that would ruin everything. But among the Great Powers there must be a righteous crusade to return justice to the world, and that meant that Germany needed some imperialist colonies. Unfortunately those other European powers and America had already carved up the world like a giant pie, and now there wasn’t so much as one country left over that Hitler could invade and conquer. That really pissed him off. Another thing that got Hitler all riled up was the hypocrisy of those other powers, especially Great Britain, a nation which at that time had invaded one quarter of the world, trying to tell him that he couldn’t invade even so much as one more country. To make matters worse leading that so-called ‘moral crusade’ against Germany was that arch-imperialist Churchill, the Saddam Hussein of London, who had already pushed hard to knock down the Kurds in British invaded Iraq with poison gas, and Churchill was hypocritically trying to blacken the reputation of Hitler for being a fascist despot. It was more than someone with a keen sense of justice could tolerate, and Hitler kept reminding Churchill that his moral values on this issue of imperialist invasions was so strongly held that he was willing to go to war with ever damned country in Europe to get some justice for Germany, so threats and bullying by that Saddam in London were never going to deter him from pursuing his plans to invade and conquer Russia. Besides, Hitler, tried to tell those other powers, he would be doing them all a favor for at the same time as he was making an imperialist colony for Germany he would also be leading the world wide crusade against those Marxists in Russia, and if they tried to stop them all they would get for their troubles would be to have Russian invading half of Europe.

Well as we know, Hitler found a really tough target like Russia to be a hard chew, and Japan, after bombing Pearl Harbor then went on a year long rampage, kicking the Dutch out and taking over some of their colonies and kicking the French out of Indo-China and the British out of places like Burma, which then left Japan with the problem of actually holding onto all those imperialist colonies. Taking them was easy once the Americans had been bombed out at Pearl Harbor, but hanging onto those new imperialist colonies was a problem, and so we saw the French returning to reclaim their Imperialist colonies and the British returning and the Dutch, after the Americans had finally trounced Japan so that those Europeans could get back all those colonies that had been robbed and taken from them by Japan.

What I really find so funny about those two world wars with Germany over that issue of imperialist invasions of other countries and diving the pie up with fairness and so on, is the truly rancid hypocrisy of those two solemn occasions known as ‘Remembrance Day’ or ‘Memorial Day.’ It is on these two days that our politicians trot out some old vets, probably from right wing sections of the American Legion, and then with great solemnity we all express our deep gratitude and affection for the Military Industrial Complex for having saved peace, democracy and freedom, not just one, but twice in a row. If you complain then you will be reminded that the only reason you can complain is because of the tireless devotion and sacrifice of the military industrial complex which has yet again preserved even the freedom of complainers to complain, which is another example of selflessness on the part of that massive complex. “Military Industrial Complex, I want to thank you for my freedom of speech.” This is what you are supposed to say, although if you are a student of history, you would know that those two world wars had nothing to do with democracy, and the freedom of speech was a product of such things as ‘the American Revolution’ and was far from being some free gift bestowed upon humanity but rather something that had to be fought for until finally the Military Industrial Complex of that day had been defeated by the revolutionary armies, which is the only way people found that they could ever really be free or have a democracy.

I will leave any aspiring comedian to contemplate the gold mine of comedy to be found in this heap of tragedy, because there is so much here that is really damned funny. Hell, even a really great tragedy like the Jewish Holocaust has what it takes to generate good comedy, when you consider how ‘God’s specially chosen people’ as ‘promised by the Bible’ were just massacred by a weirdo, and then later on when churches all over Europe were burning right to the ground, since it was obvious there was no God, for how could that have happened, meanwhile you have priests and ministers going around blaming liberals or Hollywood movies or Charles Darwin for the fact that their churches were burning right to the ground. Apparently they seem to think that barbequing six million of ‘God’s biblical people’ doesn’t do much damage to the claims of the Bible or to religion, and even when something like that happens you can just carry on as though nothing had happened. I suppose I can understand why they would behave like the blind leading the blind over some cliff because to deal with that problem Hitler gave them they would have to come up with an answer to the question ‘where is your God?’, which would imply that there God was absent, which would then be a problem for traditional dogma. Therefore they must become hypocrites, and since hypocrisy is always funny, therefore even something that bad has its element of comedy.

Stating the Obvious

2007-10-26T01:35:00.000-07:00

The following page shows a map of the national boundaries of the American Indian Nations that once existed before these nations were conquered and depopulated by Bible believing American Christians who were obeying the orders of God and doing the Lord’s work. Map of American Indian Nations

It is a myth that America was a wide open and empty country just waiting for people to finally come and establish a nation on this so called ‘virgin territory’. The truth is that American Indians were not wild jungle bunnies roaming around in the savage state. This is the convenient fiction cooked up by people who were on the wrong side of a mass genocide, and as you can tell by reading the Bible, such people always resort that bit about jungle bunnies in Africa or primitive cave men in America to justify their holy wars. In truth the American Indian Nation on the east coast, as one example, had a federal structure, and consisted of a number of relatively autonomous states as well as one central national capital.

Where are these nations now? You see a lot of black people in America, since no one ever got around to killing off their slaves, but Native Americans are almost invisible. What happened to these nations? If we were to ask, ‘where did they go?’ the answer would be that they went into mass graves which are now hidden and forgotten and scattered all over the United States. When tens of millions of people are wiped out their corpses must be disposed of somewhere, and simple common sense tells us that these nations are now six feet under, except for the few surviving descendants of those who no one got around to killing at the time.

Americans might not know this, but Adolph Hitler was a great admirer of 19th century American Indian policy. He modeled the Waffen SS upon such murderous outfits as the Texas Rangers. He referred to the Russian and Slavic peoples as ‘Germany’s Indians’ and he fully planned a genocidal slaughter, modeled after the American experiment, since to Hitler, that seemed to be the best possible solution because it would leave the invading Germans with as few problems later on as Americans have. You see, when you commit genocide, you have few problems later because there is no left behind to give you a problem. This is common sense wisdom which American Christians could learn about by reading the word of some god or another as found in that most sacred of documents, the Holy Bible of those Bible believing American Christians who were the ancestors of today’s average American.

If you want to trace back to the root cause of American Indian policy, you will find that this policy is actually a sacred commandment of God, found in the Bible. This cannot be a coincidence, for as we know after wiping out another big pile of those American Indians, our devout ancestors had not trouble covering the land with those churches of theirs, where people went to hear all about how they might, just maybe, go to heaven when they are dead, although no one was one hundred percent sure about the idea, what with there being no god around to speak of. However better safe than sorry, especially when you were as up to your neck in evil all the time as those Christians were throughout history. Consider church attendance to be a form of fire insurance for self identified sinners who just wanted that extra bit of protection after they dropped dead, you know, just in case maybe there actually was a god.

This never stopped them from sinning, as you can tell by their genocidal massacres, and the Bible also commanded them to invade far away lands, so our Christian ancestors had no problem plundering and looting what today we refer to as the ‘impoverished third world’. None of this was a sin because it was all commanded by some god’s word as found in the most sacred documents that some small meeting of priests voted upon in the fourth century (as well as a small cabal of rabbis who held a similar preliminary vote in the first century). These two votes sealed the matter and now we have a god’s word for sure, as you can tell by how they voted and then they counted the votes, thus leaving us with the rock solid assurance that we do in fact have a god’s word and a god’s advice and a god’s policies because it was all voted upon and this settled the matter of creating our ‘sacred scriptures’ forever and ever and ever, amen.

For those who are unfamiliar with a god’s word, the following is a brief synopsis of the biblical basis for America’s 19th century Indian policy. It really is impossible to understand history correctly without having a good background in religion since the connections that exist between voting and the disasters we are left to deal with today are just unmistakable.

"The land you are invading is foul because of the filthiness of the natives. Their land is filled with filth from end to end because of the foulness of the natives.'" Ezra 9:10 "The lord your god has given you this land as your own. All your fighting men must take up arms and march." Deut. 3:18 "The lord your god himself will go over before you; he will destroy these nations before you, so that you shall take their land.” Deut. 31:3 "Annihilate the nations you are dispossessing and make your home in their country." Deut. 12:29 "Put the inhabitants to the slaughter without giving any quarter and burn their town down." Deut. 13:15 “Their sons invaded and conquered the land and humbled the natives when you gave into their hands the natives of the land to be treated just as they pleased." Neh 9 "Put the men to the sword, but the women and all the spoil you may take as booty. This is how you are to deal with far away lands. But in the lands that nearby you must not spare a living soul." Deut. 20:10 “Kill all the natives of the land. You must not leave a single one alive.” Joshua

Now thanks to ‘Jesus Christ’ it was required that every Christian make damn sure to get all those things done, for as that right wing fundamentalist, ‘Jesus’, taught those people, there was not damned way he wanted anyone to think that he had come to criticize those six hundred rotten Bible laws. No, rather he came to ruthlessly enforce those maniacal laws, and it turns out that ‘Jesus’ was such a fanatical fundamentalist that he was not going to let so much as one dot over one letter ‘i’ get past him until he got every last one of those sacred bible laws fully completed and done.

It is stating the obvious to remind people that all these disasters we confront today because of the religious lunacy of our ancestors can all be traced back to the dreadful influence of that great heavenly sage, the king of the philosophers, ‘Jesus Christ’, who when he was not advising old women to cut the clits off of adolescent girls or advising teenage boys who jerk off to cut off their jerk off hand and burn it in a fire, and maybe gouge their eyeballs out if they cannot stop looking at such things as bare bums, yes, when that greatest thinker of all time, ‘Jesus Christ’, was not ruthlessly bullying everyone about sex , he was stirring up massacre and genocide. You see, ‘Jesus Christ’ was a fundamentalist hawk of the extreme religious right, and we know that, because those documents were voted on they received the most votes. That settles the matter right there. We now have ‘Holy Scripture’. Therefore when Christians went around trashing the planet and plunging entire swaths of the globe into extreme dire poverty or just slaughtering whole nations they were just doing what they were told to do by ‘Jesus Christ’, that god made flesh, for it was ‘Jesus’ in those gospels who told those people they had to do every single damned one of those right wing hawk bible laws.

It is pretty obvious that our ancestors really were authentically devout Bible believing Christians, who, while they killed time waiting to drop dead so that they could finally find out for sure if there was a god, always made sure to do the god’s word in the bible, so that they could carry some fire insurance with them to the other side of the grave, just in case maybe it turned out that there really was a god, since as we know, one of the great controversies in any truly Christian culture is that endless debate over whether or not that god of the dead actually exists.

Yes, we have ‘Holy Scripture’, and you can sure tell just how well that voting turned out, and not just because you have the dogmatic word of that church that it did turn out right, but also by confirming that church dogma, doing so by admiring all the many splendid results and all those gifts left to the world by our ancestors, those lovely bible believing Christians, and their legacy of lovely good deeds.. Little more needs to be said about than that, since to say much more would be to once again be stating the obvious, since apparently that can never be done enough times, and always has to be done over and over and over again.

These also reel with wine and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are confused with wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in giving judgment. All tables are covered with filthy vomit; no place is clean.

On Tax Cuts and Burning Down the House

2007-10-26T01:33:00.000-07:00

In my piece on the 2004 Fires (perhaps that should read 2003 fires, although I posted the piece in November of 2004) I tried to draw attention to the fact that San Diego has one of the most under funded fire departments in California, and perhaps in the entire nation. This is because of tax cuts followed by cuts in the fire department. According to a piece that appeared in the Los Angeles Times, “Developers own most of the city councils… They’re able to control zoning processes, and they’re frequently behind initiatives that say no new taxes, no new fire services. It’s insanity.” It is worth noting here that the American media regulations are once again being loosened so that now one large corporation can own the newspapers and television stations in one city, and so it would seem that in the future it will become less likely that people will be able to read critical commentary like this as the media becomes even more concentrated and people will have to learn to rely more upon blogs and the internet than they do right now if they want to find out about these sorts of facts.

We know that the tax cuts at the Federal level amount to trillions of dollars, most of the money going to the richest Americans, and this does not include the tax cuts taking place at the state and municipal level which probably amount to trillions more. As well the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are approaching one trillion in total costs with costs forecast to rise to over two trillion dollars. So all told we can see that there are trillions and trillions of dollars available to Americans for various projects but at the same time we see kiddy health care getting vetoed and Americans trying to fight off privatization of their local water company or the sell off of the highway system and freeways to private corporations who will then charge people tolls to drive their cars to work, and so on and so on. And of course Americans are frequently drowning in floods or getting their houses burned down in fires because services have suffered big budget cuts. Earlier this year the money allotted to clearing brush in California before the fall fire season started was slashed.

Now there might those who think that I am advising Americans to raise taxes and reverse all those trillions of dollars they have lost in tax cuts. However we must remember that Americans are part of the highly competitive dog eat dog Capitalist economic system, and for that reason it would be better for Americans to cut taxes some more and just gut all their services. They should also continue the trend, seen at places like the auto industry of getting rid of their pension plans and their health care, and Americans should also get rid of Medicare programs and should also ditch Social Security, since all these programs represent an extra cost. We must keep in mind that Americans must compete with the absolutely worst country on earth, and that means a constant race to the bottom, or the whole country will not be able to sing that song, ‘to market to market to buy a fat pig, home again, home again, jiggity jig.’

Whenever a liberal Democrat suggests raising taxes for new programs you should ignore them. Once they get into office they will renege on that promise. Keep in mind that many of these program cuts were not started by George Bush but rather by the Democrats. You see, you have to be very, very competitive, and all that horseshit about ‘cooperation’ does not apply, because the truth is that being cooperative or helpful will just be the ruin of everyone. Of course, being competitive will also ruin everyone, but at least American’s will still have jobs, even if they are for nine dollars an hour, which might still be to much to be very competitive these days.

The British government has the right idea. They have created a tax haven for really rich capitalists, so that now London has more multi-billionaires living in that city than any other place on earth. If some reckless liberal proposed raising taxes instead of carrying on with the right wing project of gutting every program and dumping all regulations on the environment or media ownership and so on, then you must ask that liberal just how they plan to tax a rich capitalist when that capitalist has bailed out of the country and is now living in the tax haven known as London.

Remember, average American, you must be highly competitive now that your capitalists are taking off for places like China or London and laying you people off and dumping your job overboard, because you are an American, and your higher standard of living is just to damned expensive for you to expect it to be supported by those rich capitalists any more. With technological progress and globalization of production now in full swing that capitalist is now free to dump you overboard at a moment’s notice, and therefore you must be a well behaved American, listen to your union officials, and start tightening that belt. Remember, you want to look very competitive so that you can attract a capitalist to come back to your country, and that means low wages, no pensions, no health care, small fire departments, and certainly no taxes, because if there is one thing a capitalist hates it is taxes. This explains why your politicians, be they Democrats of Republicans, have been wisely rubber stamping all those tax cuts and program gutting, with more sure to come. It is the most sensible strategy for any highly competitive capitalist country so that you Americans can win the dog fight in that dog eat dog economic system.

To summarize then, you cannot have your cake and eat it, too. You cannot have capitalism and have taxes, social programs, pensions, or health care, and in the modern world you cannot have good wages, because it is just to damned uncompetitive with places like China. Capitalism is an undemocratic economic system based upon giving control of the economy to small squads of very rich artificially created alpha males. It is based upon the ‘boss principal’ and as people know when they report to work, it is a fascist economic system without so much as a trace of democracy. No one ever asks people to vote on whether or not they should get sacked and have their job shipped to China. You cannot have Democracy and Fascism both at the same time.

I thought I would make these points clear for I do not want someone to think that I was a liberal of some sort who was suggesting that somehow the solution to all American problems was to raise taxes.

2004 Fires

2007-10-24T23:48:00.000-07:00

The following is a story I posted back in 2004 concerning the California tax cuts and the way they were resulting in cut backs in fire services.

California Republicans demand no taxes, speedy fire service. Fire devours expensive (Republican) suburbs, where voters overwhelmingly supported Arnold just weeks ago.

Each new homeowner, moreover, expects heroic levels of protection from underfunded county and state fire agencies.
Fire, as a result, is politically ironic. Right now, as I watch San Diego's wealthiest new suburb, Scripps Ranch, in flames, I recall the Schwarzenegger fund-raising parties hosted there a few weeks ago. This was an epicenter of the recent recall and gilded voices roared to the skies against the oppression of an out-of-control public sector. Now Arnold's wealthy supporters are screaming for fire engines, and "big government" is the only thing standing between their $3 million homes and the ash pile.

The cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is now approaching one trillion dollars and is projected to reach a total of two trillion dollars. Apparently finding money to support programs is not a problem, but rather it is a matter of setting priorities. According to a report earlier in the year in the San Francisco Chronicle, “the California National Guard says equipment shortages could hinder the guard’s response to a large-scale disaster. A dearth of equipment such as trucks and radios—caused in part by the war in Iraq—has state military officials worried they would be slow in providing help in the event of a major fire, earthquake or terrorist attack.”

San Diego has only 975 fire fighters who must cover 330 square miles and a population of 1.3 million people. An agenda is pursued in city council chambers in cities throughout California of pursuing a strategy of tax cuts and no increase in the cost of fire services, with property developers having a big influence on city councils and the legislatures.

Religion in the Lion's Den

2007-10-24T23:05:00.001-07:00

According to the St Petersburg Times A Ukranian Christian attempted to evangelize the nation by playing Daniel in the Lion's Den. Witnesses reported on the man's grisly death. "The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions...A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."

Now I am not trying to suggest here that most Christians are foolish enough to place any of this sort of trust in God, and when faced with a Lion in a Lion's Den the typical Christian would call for someone they do trust, such as their military forces or the police. As I have noticed there are a lot of Christians who place all their trust in the police, and they also trust in Caesar and Caesar's sword. You have to trust someone. As it states, somewhat curiously I thought, in the Book of Romans in the Christian Bible, God was going away and staying away for a very long, long time, and in God's absence God gave Caesar the right to whack everyone with the sword. Someone had to do it, you see, so the logic here is that since according to that book of Romans God would not be saving anyone, that job was therefore sensibly outsourced to the true savior of the book of Romans, Caesar and Caesar's sword. Of course God also authorized Caesar to maintain law and order and protect and save Christians by authorizing Caesar's crucifix so that Caesar could torture to death house burglars and other miscreants. This little detail the book of Romans fails to mention, for as we know if there is one thing a Christian would like to forget it is Caesar's crucifix, since that might make Caesar look bad if people were to remember that instrument of torture that Caesar employed to hold together that Roman slave driving economic system. The book of Romans blames the crucifixion and torture of that Jesus character upon God who authorized Caesar to torture that Jesus to death like a house burglar so that he could 'take my place on the cross.' You can see that there is nothing inherently wrong with a crucifix and really, when you consider that we all have the original sin from Adam, as the book of Romans teaches us, and that therefore we all deserve to go straight to hell, it becomes clear then that I deserve to be tortured to death by the state. We all do. That's why God told Caesar to crucify rebellious slaves and burglars and political and religious dissidents, and that is why God wanted Caesar to torture that Jesus to death so that he could take my rightful place on the cross thus causing me to be saved by the blood of this lamb.

It is good that Christians invented religion and its right wing doctrines because otherwise people would be thinking that Caesar went around crucifying rebellious slaves only to have God raise his victims from the dead. If people were not trained to think in right wing ways by such documents as gospels and that book of Romans then they would start thinking like Moses, and that would be the ruin of that Pharoah known as Caesar, and then Christians would not have a savior at all because Caesar would be ruined and disgraced. Who would save a Christian from the Lion's Den, for pragmatic and practical sorts like Christians know that God is useless and quite good for nothing, and no reasonable Christian who has not lost their marbles would ever do something so dicey as to trust God in the midst of some lion's den. They know better. God is useless and one thing you can say for Caesar and his sword and his crucifixes is that you might, perhaps, be able to put some faith in Caesar and maybe, from time to time, you might even get saved by Caesar but you just never, ever get saved by God. Not even once. Religious people of all faiths know this elementary fact which is why the behave as they do. Their gods are the gods of the dead who live in heaven while playing that guessing game of salvation with everyone down here where you have to just take your best guess as to whether or not religion is a pile of bullshit and then you must drop dead before you will ever find out the final answer.

This is not such a great deal, and it is for this reason, because even religious people know that they just got a lousy deal, that we find religious people saying formal prayers, that don't mean anything, then it is off to support the police or some other outfit they really do trust. They do it all in the name of God, for before that God of theirs left the scene and went on a long vacation that God left behind documentation authorizing Christians to support the police by supporting much tougher sentences, such as crucifixion perhaps, or at the very least lethal injections.

The Clown

2007-10-24T08:59:00.000-07:00

According to the Pope's traditional Wednesday Sermon, on October 24, 2007, we can learn from Saint Ambrose, who lived in the first four centuries, when all the really good theologians lived, one must assume, since these are the subjects of all the Pope's sermons, that a true preacher cannot be Lenny Bruce, but rather that a true preacher teaches people to meditate on God's Word, the Bible, and then teaches them to sing hymns and pray.

Ambrose who "brought meditation upon the Scriptures into the Latin world, ... introducing the practice of 'lectio divina' to the West." This practice "guided all his own preaching and writing which flow, in fact, from his listening ... to the Word of God."

The bishop saint made certain that those who wished to become Christians "learnt first the art of correct living" in order "to be prepared for the great Mysteries of Christ." His preaching was founded on "the reading of Sacred Scripture" with the aim of "living in conformity with divine Revelation.

"It is evident," the Pope added, "that the preacher's personal witness and the exemplary nature of the Christian community influence the effectiveness of preaching. ... From this point of view, one decisive factor is life context, the reality of how the Word is lived."

Benedict XVI recalled the fact that St. Augustine in his Confessions recounts how his own conversion was not due "chiefly to the beautiful homilies" of Ambrose, whom he knew in Milan, but above all "to the witness of the bishop and of his Milanese Church, who sang and prayed together like one single body."

"Who educates in the faith," he continued, "cannot run to the risk of appearing like a clown who plays a role, ... rather he must be like the beloved disciple who rested his head on the Master's heart and there learnt how to think, speak and act."

You know in the past I had built up a fan base because of my satirical Lenny Bruce routine, and I used to get feedback from those fans of mine stating that I was without a doubt the absolutely best writer on the Internet. Actually I was not the best writer, I was just the most ironic writer on the Internet, and it was this ability to expose the hypocritical irony in just about anything that just made me seem so damned funny, and when someone is that funny all the time, that makes people think that they are 'the single best writer on the Internet today'. It was Lenny Bruce who said that the true source of all genuine comedy was horror and tragedy, and I discovered that he was right. Hell, even something as deadly serious and somber as Adolph Hitler is really, when you look at the rancid hypocricy swirling around that dreadful horror, just as funny as hell. You know, it really did piss off Hitler that America and Britain and France and all those other European countries had already invaded and conquered the whole fucking planet, and then there was not even so much as one country left over that Hitler could invade and conquer. If he wanted to conquer and plunder some imperialist colony he would have to make do with some hard to chew leftover, like Russia. It is for this reason that I always find Remembrace Day or Memorial Day to be so damned funny, because on this day we all forget all about those big feuds, those two World Wars with a very jealous Germany which had no Imperialist Colonies, and instead we trot out any old war vet who might not yet be dead and we give thanks for the war to save freedom and democracy and become very solemn and spend a whole entire day spewing out naked hypocritical bullshit. Now I could get very depressed about these things, or I could get very ironic and make people roar with laughter, and given the choice I think I would rather laugh, since ironic humor is the Weapon of Mass Destruction when it comes to propaganda, and given that I am certainly no fig leaf wearing Christian, but rather I am the Prophet of YAHWEH, preacher of the Garden of Eden, I think that I would rather do the Prophet of YAHWEH thing and raze the place right to the ground, leaving nothing behind but some ploughed field rather than being a very nice and well behaved fellow.

Divine Revelation

2007-10-24T08:58:00.000-07:00

Now let us talk for a few moments about those two incompatible ways of seeking truth - science and its emperical method and religion and its method of divine revelation. If something is revealed to us by means of some supposedly 'divine revelation' this does not exclude putting the matter to the test by means of the methods of science.

For example, we are told by religion through the means of 'divine revelation' that there is this goddess, the Queen of Heaven, who had an immaculately conceived pussy who then had intercourse with a ghost and then through her immaculate pussy gave birth to a divine god/human hybrid, doing so, we are told, without even busting her immactulate hymen. You see after giving birth to a god being you do want to get your pussy perfectly immaculate from that time forward as a sign of extreme holiness and this means that the Queen of Heaven remained forever a virgin and never ever allowed some hard dick to go where a divine god baby had gone before. The divine revelations concerning this goddess with an immaculate pussy do not begin and end with the Bible for we know that in the 19th century a Pope had another one of those divine revelations and announced to the world that after a lifetime of perfect pure pussyhood the virgin with the immaculate pussy was assumed bodily up into heaven where she now lives and hears peoples prayers and also occassionally shows up by manifesting herself on earth to warn European children about the dangers of communism of Russia.

Now either this divine revelation is a description of an objective reality, in which case it can be tested using the methods of science, or it is a pile of shit and a falsehood, in which case it cannot be tested by the methods of science since it is impossible to prove a negative.

It is interesting to note that all such divine revelations are not testable by science, there being nothing to test, which strongly suggests that divine revelation results in the creation of huge piles of completely made up worthless shit. The same cannot be said of the methods of science which produce results which can be verified and we can therefore have some assurance that the results produced by critical and objective observation of what really exists produces reasonably reliable descriptions of an objective reality that actually bears some resemblance to something that actually does exist in the real world.

I have noticed that while religion is doing one miracle after another on television, and while Pentecostal prophets are now becoming so spiritually powerful they are now raising the dead in places like Africa and Latin America, for some fucked up reason religious people quarrel with science and try to pull such stunts as introducing Creationism doctrine into schools. when really religious people should be doing rock solid science. After all, when you have a gazillion miracles going on it would be a simple matter to subject this evidence to rigorous scientific analysis, thus crushing science under a steam roller as the evidence mounts up in huge giant piles until finally it becomes irrefutable. The fact that this obviously excellent strategy is never pursued by religion is proof positive to me that religion is full of deciet, fraud, deception and is peddling a big pile of steaming bullshit, because for religion to back up its so called 'divine revelation' with rock solid science is after all the absolutely perfect and most excellent strategy. The obvious conclusion to be drawn here, owing to the excellence of the strategy, is that religion has only bullshit and thus wants to keep divine revelation and stay far far away from that ever so harmful science. From this we can conclude that divine revelation is simply a pile of bullshit and any claim that somehow a divine revelation has a status either equal to or greater than science is a worthless claim, for what could be better than a divine revelation which supposedly describes some form of objective existing reality that was further backed up by rock solid science.

As just one example of how science can result in good rock solid doctrine, I will remind people that in addition to being the Prophet of YAHWEH (preacher of the Garden of Eden) I am also a bit of a scientist myself, and really, when you stop to think about it, what could possibly be better when it comes to developing a theory of evolution than to actually have the rare opportunity to watch a bunch of bedbugs actually going through the process of evolution, thus demonstrating how that is really done. This creates problems for our scientists, since there is no evidence that I can see that bedbugs are 'randomly mutating' but rather they are systematically spreading around a specifically targeted set of dominant genes. This does not surprise me to much, because you see there is no such thing as 'theistic Darwinism', since Darwinism is an atheistic theory which therefore requires 'random mutations', whereas my theory is about what you would expect from someone such as myself, and since it turns out to be true that YAHWEH really is God, and that God does in fact exist, even though God never attends church or mosque or temple, then you would expect Darwinism to get the flush down the toilet sooner or later.

What would wind up giving that erroneous Darwinism the big flush would not be 'Divine Revelation' but rather good science, which it turns out also makes for good doctrine, unlike that divine revelation which only results in big piles of made up shit followed by thousands of years of ruthless merciless exile. After all, what half decent God would want to be seen as supporting in even the smallest way those great big piles of shit? It is for this reason that you are always safer to go with science than you are to go with something as prone to producing those giant sized piles of shit such as that 'divine revelation' and the always controversial and always unproven and unprovable results this method is certain to produce.

Condemning Religious Violence

2007-10-24T08:04:00.000-07:00

A religious gathering in Naples brought together leaders from all the world's big religions in an ecumenical 'peace summit'. The theme of the summit was "A World Without Violence: Faiths and Cultures in Dialogue."

Last year the Pope did not attend the event, sending a letter instead, but this year he did attend in person, which surprised some people since it is the official policy of the Vatican that all other religions are imperfect in one or another when compared to Roman Catholicism, and therefore it would be better for a Pope to send a letter than to attend to interfaith conferences in person since it might suggest that all religious leaders are pretty much the same if a Pope attends, whereas if a Pope stays home and sends a letter it reminds everyone that they are not.

The theme of this years summit was to condemn any violence in the name of religion, since violence in the name of God is 'blasphemy'. In statements released by the religious leaders we were reminded that 'all the world's religions teach peace'

According to Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople the only worthwhile battle for a religious believer is the battle against their own passionate sexual lusts. "Because violence is an anti-value, it cannot be used to defend values......war in the name of religion is war against religion...Violence will cease when each of us cultivates a holy and blessed vendetta against ourselves and our own passions," he stated.

The Pope stated that, 'Never, evoking the name of God can one justify evil and violence'."

At the luncheon table, a feud then broke out between the Jewish rabbi and the Muslim cleric attending the event.

Rabbi Metzger "said a few things -- I did not start it -- and the cardinal of Naples (Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe) said the questions cannot be resolved in the time we have for lunch so it is better to focus on peace," Ibrahim noted.

"I got the feeling that a conversation of that kind was not welcome at the Pope's table and the cardinal was very wise" to ask the other guests to change the subject, he said.

Ibrahim, Cardinal Sepe and Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury all told reporters they did not think the pope heard the discussion since there were 10 people at the table and several conversations were going on simultaneously.

What I find so peculiar about this affair is that religion does not teach peace, but rather if you actually take even a short cursory look at religion, you will see that religion teaches violence. The Hindu Gita is a narrative of a bloody war god and the bloody wars fought out at the command of this war god by the religious followers of the war god. The Koran urges that unbelievers be put to the sword if they do not accept Islam, and also encourages Muslims to saw their heads off, which is where Muslims get the idea from in the first place. And of course both Christians and Jewish books preach violence and hatred, and so therefore one can only assume that it is hypocritical for Pope's to call upon people to study 'holy scripture' one week and then appear to condemn religious violence the next week, for to study 'scripture' is to be on the receiving end of the constant spewing of hatred and calls for violence. I mean it is not like violence is an aberration that is somehow strangely foreign to religion, as though it was some unwelcome intruder, but rather all sorts of cruelty is endemic in religion, and therefore if religious leaders were really sincere in calling for no more religious violence they would of course be encouraging people not to read any more of those damnable scriptures and they would be teaching people such doctrines as that 'the Bible is certainly not the Word of God, but rather is some cooked up forgery and a fraud.' This would be the responsible course of action for our peace loving religious leaders to take.

"The mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean; I know this by my own experience, and to this day I cherish an unappeasable bitterness against the unfaithful guardians of my young life, who not only permitted but compelled me to read an unexpurgated Bible through before I was 15 years old. None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again this side of the grave." Mark Twain

Since Bible reading has gone out of fashion, and even though Pope's and countless preachers of all stripes and variations continue to urge that people take up Bible reading as a daily practice, even though no one ever does, I thought it might be good to familiarize people who don't read Bibles with the religious violence that is taught in Bibles. This will mean that you may never 'draw a clean sweet breath again' but it seems to me that this is a small price to pay to become better educated on these matters.

There is this endless quarrel that goes on between American Liberals and the religious right, with the religious right insisting that America was a nation founded by Christians and based upon the Bible, while liberals insist this is not true. On this issue I am afraid that I must take the side of the religious right, for as you can tell by remembering the massacres that happened to the Native Americans, who were wiped out from coast to coast, and then you compare what Bible believing Christians were told to do the natives of the land, you can easily see that America was indeed founded by Bible believing Christians.

"When the lord your god has led you into the land you are entering to make your own, nations will fall before you. You must lay them under solemn ban and show them no pity." "The lord your god has given you this land as your own. All your fighting men must take up arms and march." Deut. 3:18 "You must drive all the natives of the land before you. If you do not drive the natives of the country before you then those who remain will become disgusting to your eyes and a thorn in your side. They will harass you in the land where you live, and I will deal with you as I meant to deal with them." Num. 33:51 "Devour the nations the lord your god delivers over to you. Show them no pity." Deut. 7:16

"The land you are invading is foul because of the filthiness of the natives. Their land is filled with filth from end to end because of the foulness of the natives. So you must not marry them or be concerned with their prosperity, so that yourselves may grow strong and eat the best of what the country produces yourself, and leave it as an inheritance to your sons forever.'" Ezra 9:10
"You must keep all the commandments I give you so that you will have the strength to conquer the land you are to enter and make your own." Deut. 11:8 "Annihilate the nations you are dispossessing and make your home in their country." Deut. 12:29 "Put the inhabitants to the slaughter without giving any quarter and burn their town down. In this way the lord might turn from his fierce anger and show you compassion." Deut. 13:15

"god, you gave over these nations and these peoples and allotted these as our regions. They occupied the land. You multiplied their sons and daughters and led them to the land you had told them to possess. Their sons invaded and conquered the land and humbled the natives when you gave into their hands the natives of the land to be treated just as they pleased." Neh 9
"Put the men to the sword, but the women and all the spoil you may take as booty. This is how you are to deal with far away lands. But in the lands that nearby you must not spare a living soul." Deut. 20:10

"They waged war as god had commanded them and killed every male. But they kept the women as captives and took their wealth as spoil. Moses was enraged. 'So you spared the women? Kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse but keep the virgins for yourself. Divide them up evenly.'" Num. 31:7, 14

"Keep your word to march as the lord's vanguard, until the land is subdued before him. This region shall be yours!" Num. 32:20 "Drive out all the natives before you. You shall take possession of the land and settle it, for I, the Lord, have given it to you as your property. Divide it up among your clans." Num. 33:52

"Slaves you may possess, but make sure they are foreigners. You may also make slaves of the natives who dwell among you and from their children who are born and reared in your land. You may own them as chattels and leave them to your sons as their heriditary property, making them slaves forever. But you should not lord it over your own countryman, your own kinsmen." Lev. 25:44

Numbers 21:2 "And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, "If thou wilt indeed give this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities." And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and gave over the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities."

Deuteronomy 2:1 "When the LORD your God brings you into the land which you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you ... and when the LORD your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them; then you must completely destroy them; you shall make no peace treaties with them, and show no mercy to them."

Deuteronomy 7:16 "And you shall destroy all the peoples that the LORD your God will give over to you, you will who them no pity ... If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’ you shall not be afraid of them ... until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed."

Deuteronomy 20:15 "In the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, but you shall utterly destroy them."

Deuteronomy 31:3 "The LORD your God himself will go over before you; he will destroy these nations before you, so that you shall take their land .. And the LORD will destroy them. And the LORD will give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you."

Deuteronomy 33:27 "Destroy. So Israel dwelt in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and wine; yea, his heavens drop down dew. 29 Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you? ... Your enemies shall come fawning to you; and you shall tread upon their heads."

Joshua 9:24 "The LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you."

Judges 21:11 "This is what you shall do; every male and every woman that has lain with a male you shall utterly destroy." And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan."

1 Samuel 15:18 "And the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’"

Joshua 8:24 "When Israel had finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open wilderness where they pursued them and all of them to the very last had fallen by the edge of the sword, all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword."

1 Samuel 15:3 "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.’"

Ramon and the Airforce

On his blog Ramon Watkins has continued to post more of those videos of his. On October 17th he posted another video of one of those long cigar shaped craft, and on October 18th he posted a video of a circular glowing ball. Unfortunately he continues to preach about how his god is a super powered black human who drives a UFO and he also continues to preach that historical falsehood concerning how Black Americans 'of slave descent' once 'ruled the world' until they stopped following those 600 stone aged Bible laws, at which time they were sent into slavery to punish them until they learned to follow those prehistoric superstitions once again. Fortunately, Ramon is only working on YouTube right now, since he cannot tolerate being humiliated in public when he calls for some space craft and then gets dumped while some deeply skeptical crowd is watching that sorry performance.

As bad as Ramon's preaching is (in particular that part about how most of humanity will deep fried in a lake of fire for not doing those worthless stone aged Bible laws) there might still be some value in what he is doing here, especially since he can cause little harm while he is being safely contained on the YouTube channel. I am hoping that those folks over at Nellis Air Force Base, which is parked right next door to where Ramon lives, are watching while he pursues that hobby of his.

If you watch a Ramon video it might give you some idea of what I mean when I tell people to 'come and watch the dancing angels.' One of the differences between myself and Ramon is that I only go out at night, and so the results are more spectacular than what Ramon manages to film during the daytime. I also have this ability to engage in a form of long distance communication, in that the object becomes very brilliant for a time, to indicate 'YES'. This used to happen evevy single night, over and over again during the night, as part of an ongoing conversation. One of the problems with this form of communication is that a person is required to already know a great deal so that they can ask the right questions. This has not been happening for the last couple of months since apparently I am finished with that 'prophecy' business, for if there was something that needed to be said, they would certainly be working with me to make sure that I said it.

Last night the dancing angel showed up twice, and this was after an absence of four days, since the last time they showed up was early Monday morning when two of them showed up simultaneously, so at the present time I am pretty much performing without a net. To get to the point here, anyone who is wondering what I mean when I speak about 'watching the dancing angel' could watch some of those Ramon videos and get some kind of an idea of what I mean, and so perhaps those videos might serve some kind of a useful purpose in that way as well. With Ramon you always have to take the good with the bad, with the bad being that dreadful preaching of that ruthless superstition known as 'Black Israelite Religion'.

The Temple of the Lord

2007-10-19T18:56:00.000-07:00

According to Adolph Hitler, as revealed in his behind the scenes table talk with his cronies, that inferior race, known as the Jews, were responsible for weakening the Master Race, the Nordic Aryans, by teaching them religion. The invention of the brainwashing doctrine known as Roman Catholicism, which, according to Hitler, was invented by the Jews as a weapon against their superiors, the Master Race of Aryans, had fatally weakened the ruthless instincts of the superior Aryans, and it was this religion which had prevented the Master Race from dominating and ruling the world. The solution was to destroy Roman Catholicism, the invention of the Jew, and rid Europe of the taint of Roman Catholic Religion.

Hitler's strategy was to expose the Jewish people as frauds, by holding up to public contempt and ridicule their claim to be "God's specially chosen people.' And what better way to destroy the Jewish ideology and undermine its grip on the human mind, that to destroy the Jewish people. Yes, Hitler would massacre those Jews, and in order to expunge the world of the taint caused by the Roman Catholic Church, Hitler would even slaughter the last Jew on the face of the planet, if only he could. According to Hitler, unfortunately, given how religious people were at the time, it would be impossible for him to realize his goals of creating the Master Race. That would have to wait until the 21st century, for according to Hitler's estimation of the time required to destroy the Roman Catholic Church in Europe, it would take two or three generations before the required destruction of religion would occur, leaving Europe Catholic free, thus releasing the grip of the Jew on the human mind. This makes sense, for you see, Hitler would have to wait for the elderly Catholic to drop dead, then wait for the middle aged Catholic to drop dead, and then wait even longer for the young Catholics to finally drop dead, and then in about three generations, the Catholic Church would collapse into ruins in Europe, finally making Europe completely free of the grip of the Jew.

Those who are familiar with situation in Europe would know that in pursuing this strategy Hitler proved himself a prophet of sorts, because the Roman Catholic Church has fallen into ruinous destruction all over Europe, and now there is hardly a Catholic to be found on the continent.

In the ancient world, the Jewish prophets were in the custom of confronting the people for their habit of practicing religion while at the same time having no god. The fact that they were rejected and living in exile did not stop the religious dogmatics of the day from proclaiming, 'this is the Temple of the Lord, this is the Temple of the Lord, this is the Temple of the Lord.' The prophets would then explain to those people that repeating that empty slogan would not benefit them in the least, for, to paraphrase that notorious message so characteristic of a true prophet of YAHWEH, they would be attacked by their enemies, and they would all submit to slaughter and massacre, while their enemies burned their sacred religious temple right to the ground. Their enemies would expose them as a people with no god and their endless dogmatic repetition of a pointless slogan would be exposed for the worthless thing that it was.

What has been happening to not just the Roman Catholic Church, but also to all her daughters, who are also going into ruinous decline and facing inevitable collapse, as well as the international disgrace that has come upon Israel in the times after Hitler, are an interesting example of the sort of thing that Jewish prophets were always going on about in ancient times. As those prophets warned those people, a religious people with no god are doomed, for all it would take is one weird freak to lower them right into the dust of the earth, and leave them to face their inevitable ruin from which they would find no deliverance. Yes, as those prophets of YAHWEH always warned those people, it only takes one scum bag to destroy a religion and expose the fraudulent nature of its claims, and for that reason religious people gain nothing from their dogmatic repetition of that stale slogan of theirs, 'this is the Temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.'

Lesser Evilism

2007-10-17T19:44:00.000-07:00

The time has come for the Liberal Democracts to pick their pony to run in the next horse race, and as one would expect, those Liberals are checking the teeth and the gums of those ponies, and they are attempting to find the pony with the highest moral and ethical standards. You will hear comments such as, 'I think that out of all the potential candidates, John Edwards has the highest ethical standards and therefore he is probably the one who is most likely to do what is right, and will not give us the shaft as has so often been the case with poilticians in the past.'
The American Liberal truly is a backwards creature, for apparently they think that they can place a 'good Democrat' into power, and then, voila, that politician will begin to make ethical decisions. As for the Republicans, the partisan charges being leveled by those Democrats are that the Republicans are unethical and have no moral values, which is the root cause of the problem.
This form of political analysis is quite infantile, for the truth of the matter is that politicians operate while wearing a straight jacket which is supplied by the system of the status quo, and for that reason politicians always have a narrow range of options. As it turns out as that system decays and gets more and more bogged down by the historical dead weight of its past contradictions, the range of options available to any politician becomes ever more narrow, and at the end of it all the only options available to even the most ethical candidate are evil options.
Therefore we can see that American politics has degenerated to the point that all political debate must now center on which of two evil policy options was the lesser of two evils. Now it must be accepted that no matter what some American poiltician does these days it will be an evil deed, so what we need to decide is which evil deed would be the lesser of the evil options currently available to John Edwards or any other ethical politician, Republican or Democrat, who must, out of neccesity, throw his moral values out of the window once he gets into office and start practicing evil policies which will naturally enough deeply disappoint and even deeply anger the voters of the country.
Let us consider a few simple examples. Now we know that under a competitive system like capitalism, when one capitalist goes to China to exploit real cheap labor, soon enough the rest of the herd must follow and at the end of it all there will be a stampede. The option is to compete by laying off Americans and moving to China, or go bankrupt. Now the evil policy options available to a politician in a straight jacket are to allow the 'free market' to work its wonderful magic, which is gutting the American economy, or perhaps a very ethical politician could put up trade barriers and tarifs. However America has a trade deficit and needs to export, and so therefore America cannot afford to start a trade war. Therefore, given that we are thinking in terms of that status quo system, where moral and ethical values are of no real concern to us, we must now ask ourselves which, out of these two evil options, should a politician choose to implement.
Let us consider another simple example. America needs to compete and so therefore America needs to deal with its shrinking manufacturing base by exporting more products on the international markets. This would require a much lower dollar. That will spur exports and close the trade gap. However, now the Europeans are bitching that they are now losing exports because of the high Euro and they are saying that they are losing patience with being the ones being forced to pay the price to fix what is wrong in the American economy. As the European econmomies continue to stagnate, eventually they will want less American exports, which will screw up that plan. So once again our politicians must not think about moral and ethical values, but they must roll up their sleeves and choose between two evil policies with ruinous consequences, and then whatever ruination comes upon the country later can be blamed by backbiting partisans and the unethical behavior of whatever politician made whatever choice was deemed immoral or unethical, thus causing the disaster that followed.
You can easily see just how backwards and ignorant this quasi religious thought style is when you remember that the problems in that system are going to produce an evil result one way or the other.

Protest Politics

2007-10-17T19:43:00.000-07:00

Protest politics are one of the decayed remnants that still remain behind in a post Christian quasi religious culture. The reason for this is that protest politics focuses on moral and ethical values, which is a completely bankrupt perspective. It is for this reason that protest politics has always proven to be worthless and no damned good for anything in the past. At the end of it all protest politics leaves people completely demoralized, and then like washed up 1960s radicals they just learn to accept that humanity is an originally sinful pig and they become yuppies and sell out to the system, knowing as they do that you just cannot reform the morals of a collection of pigs no matter how hard you try.
One example of this sort of thing are 'tree sitters'. This protest movement is concerned about the immoral behavior of unethical loggers who will ruin the environment by chopping down every forest if they are not prevented from sinning some more. Yes greedy and unethical logging companies are chopping trees and ruining pristine environments. A moral and ethical protest must be launched to stop their sinning, and this involves having protestors sitting up in trees so they cannot be chopped down.
Now as we know, logging companies must be competitive, or they will go bankrupt. Logging families will lose the house when they can no longer compete with loggers from other nations in the race to chop down trees and thus keep the competitive logging industry in business. For this reason the wife of a logger threatened to go out into the forest and machine gun every last fucking spotted owl in the forest and just get it fucking over with.
As for tree sitters, their past history is one of constant retreat. Each year they sit in trees a little further back in that forest. They claimed some past victories, but they proved to be short lived as the sinful logging companies once again went after those trees. Over time the rage of the tree sitter builds against the American people who are originally sinful pigs because even though a moral and ethical appeal is being made by the tree sitting protest movement they never get mass support from those unethical pigs, the American people. You can always recognize some washed up moralizing quasi religious radical who believes in the doctrine of originally sinful pigs because you can instantly recognize them by their cynical view of the American people as being immoral and unreformed sinful pigs. It is often said that the American people are politically backwards because they no longer show up in large numbers for protest politics. The opposite is true, for the American people are to politically advanced and they understand just how worthless protest politics is and so they don't even waste their time with that bankrupt strategy.
Now are protests always worthless. Protest politics which focus on reforming what are alleged to be the sinful pigs in some corporation or in some political office are always worthless and in the end lead to washed up and demoralized herds of ruined radicals who never understood that the system only allows the evil option and therefore cannot be fixed by morally reforming individuals, since the only options available under that flawed system are the lesser of two evils. A protest movement which was not focused on quasi religious moralism masquerading as progressive activism would be intent on raising public awareness of systems and how they work and the role played by systems and that might have some value, unlike those quasi religious post Christian protests about morality and ethics which represent a dying political perspective which has already gone completely bankrupt, as you can tell by how few people ever bother with protests these days.

Post-Christianity

2007-10-17T18:50:00.000-07:00

I have often heard evangelical types deliver their testimony, wherein they explain that while they had been raised in a family that attended a conventional mainline church, in all those years they had never had what they call a 'personal relationship with Jesus'. That all changed when they encountered the religious right, and for the first time they experienced what they refer to as 'the power of the Holy Ghost.' Their experience of Jesus suddenly became very real, they say.

There are many people who hear such talk and assume that these evangelicals are deluded. This is an oversimplification. They are describing an experience which is to them very real. The reason for this is found in understanding that 'Christian Theology' is not actually a 'theology', which would be 'the study of God', nor does this system of thought describe 'the divine reality' but rather it encapsulates human psychology, and it is this clever trick that makes the experience of 'conversion' seem so intensely real to the converted.

Human beings are social creatures, and there is nothing more important to a human being that to be accepted by the group. It is for this reason that human beings can find it difficult to accept criticism, and this also explains why people react so negatively to rejection, sonmetimes reacting even with violent anger, for human beings are extremely sensitive to potential rejection by the larger group. It is this facet of human nature that provides the motive force behind the phenomenon known as 'peer pressure' and it is this peer pressure which is the source of all cultural differences on earth as human children learn that in order to be accepted they must conform to all the variants that are seen as cultural norms in different societies in the world, with variations from all sorts of strange habits and customs being viewed as deviant or sinful, and thus worthy of the rejection that human beings cannot tolerate.

It turns out that peer pressure is also the root source of all the variant religions on earth, and what is referred to as 'Christian Theology' is actually a description of the underlying psychological processes of this phenomenon known as peer pressure, and therefore is not a description of some sort of 'divine reality' at all. People speak of being 'convicted of their sin by a Holy Ghost.' This is a mystification of normal human behavior as people attempt to get another human being to conform to conventional norms and do so by threatening rejection which then inspires a feeling quite similar to genuine guilt. When an evangelical speaks about how suddenly the experience of the Holy Ghost became so vivid and real to them once they first encountered the religious right, this is a description of an authentic and deeply felt experience. It was not a divine experience. It was simply the manipulation of one human being by another. Evangelicals then speak of how Jesus developed a personal relationship with them and began changing them from the inside out. Once again they really did experience these things, but what was actually happening is that they were continually being manipulated by the group. Their behavior was frowned upon. They were granted approval or disapproval in all sorts of small and subtle ways. They began to conform to the expected norms, and because this 'theology' is actually a mystification of a normal human experience, the mystification prevents them from understanding that they are actually being manipulated by the other members of the group. They claim that their 'relationship with Jesus' suddenly became vivid and real when they first experienced 'the power of the Holy Ghost', and it is this lived experience produced by this mind fogging mystification which then cements a belief in evangelical doctrine. If you doubt their doctrine they will insist that you have not yet experienced for yourself 'the changing power of the Holy Ghost.' If you resist manipulation by the group they will insist that you are a stubborn sinner and you simply refuse to repent because you know that you must give up certain sins and you don't want to do that.

The mind clouding mystifications of this 'Christian Theology' are not limited to leaving people confused as to the true nature of human interactions, but it also works to mystify social processes, and a study of history demonstrates that this particular form of mystification is even more ruinously disastrous for human societies than simply forcing people to conform to certain cultural and traditional norms. Christianity confuses the human intellect by teaching people that all the problems in the world are caused by something known as 'original sin.' People are trained to self identify by saying 'I am a sinner.' This then means that all the problems in the world can be solved by saving 'sinners' doing so 'one sinner at a time'. When something goes wrong in the world it is a problem of 'moral values' and therefore the political debate in any truly religious culture will become very partisan since it consists for the most part of attacking the ethical values of one politician while extolling the morality and ethics of another politician.

There are obvious 'theological' problems with this doctrine of the originally sinful pig. If God created Armadillos, and then Armadillos were declared to be 'originally sinful' this would mean that God must either be an incompetent manufacturer, who sends out defective appliances and then blames the consumer, or God must be either malignant or prideful and arrogant, for God creates defects and then attempts to shift the blame by blaming the defective. All the tortured attempts to salvage that doctrine of the originally created sinful pig must fail for it cannot be true that God was all powerful and all knowing, another religious doctrine, without it also being true that therefore God created Adam in such a way that Adam could suffer 'the fall'. It must have been that God saw that Adam could fall, and another inconsistent and contradictory religious doctrine teaches us that 'God is very Holy and cannot tolerate the least bit of sin.' This doctrine is then used as the justification for hell fire, so neccesary if adequate force is to be used to force unwilling human beings to wear fig leaves in the Garden. Howeever since God knew that Adam would 'fall' and that Adam would 'sin' and God, who supposedly cannot tolerate any sin at all, nevertheless did not make the required adjustments to ensure that this did not happen, then we can see that truly the 'original sinner' was God, and not Adam at all. Eagles do not choose to fly, and bugs do not choose to crawl, and neither can Adam to choose to sin. If Adam 'fell' and then Adam 'sinned' then it was because Adam was created to sin knowing full well that he would sin since it was God who created sin intentionally and it was God who authorized beforehand that Adam would fall.

None of this makes any sense at all, and the reason for this nonsensical non-philisophy is that the doctrine of 'original sin' is a clever fiction designed to protect the status quo by diverting blame for the world's problems. Protecting the status quo does not mean protecting people, but rather it means protecting systems wherein dominance and power are concentrated, and the doctrine of original sin confuses the intellect by blinding people to systemic problems by encouraging them to blame individual 'sinners' doing so 'one sinner at a time.' Every time something goes wrong in the world it can be blamed on a sinner, and if the whole world becomes screwed up, well that can be blamed on the fall and the fact that everyone in the world is unsaved originally sinful pig.

Now let us assume that an unethical politician pushes buttons or pulls levers. The correct question to be asked is why the human race was so reckless as to leave levers and buttons around so that someone who was immoral could cause disasters for humanity by pushing buttons or pulling levers. These would be criticisms of the system itself, and since religion is determined to protect systems of power and authority, such criticism is taboo. Therefore people must be trained in the religious doctrine of sinful pigs, and therefore in any Christian culture if a politician pulls levers and punches buttons, partisan attacks on the morality or ethics of that politician are the result of the now degraded political discourse in that country.

What makes matters even worse is that there are times when the system demands that a politician punch buttons or pull levers, or otherwise there will be big problems. One simple example of this would the way in which a system based upon fierce competition between human beings, such as capitalism, results in the rise of India and China, as those first few capitalists start the competitive ball rolling by moving to China were they can pay 35 cents an hour, and for a time get the jump on the competition. Naturally it won't be long before everyone jumps on the bandwagon, for the choice is either to go bankrupt or compete. There are those who say, 'yes, but we can put up tarifs and block imports'. This would then mean that we will also not be selling exports, for it is very unlikely that a country will protect itself from cheap imports while other countries graciously agree to continue to accept exports. Therefore if the population was to blame immoral politicians for the erosion of the base of their economy, that would be post-Christian thinking, since it is based upon that erroneous dogma of 'the sinful pig', for actually that was a problem produced by the system and is the end result of simply supporting the status quo. Certain things are just going to happen under that system, and a politician actually has a very narrow range of options. Sometimes evangelicals will make note of that narrow range of options, sigh, and say that heavy on the head of the king lies the crown, for the king must deal with a world full of original pigs. Actually the king must deal with the results of a system that puts in place those levers and those buttons which can then be pushed, and can perhaps even be pushed by a real sinful pig. Even in that case the problem is not the existence of a sinful pig but rather the problem is a society which is so intellectually bankrupt that they cannot even understand the simple concept that when you have a system that puts out levers and buttons which are then available to be pushed by the occassional sinful pig, that means you have a problem with the system.

The politics of 'moral values' which focuses on the 'ethics' of a policitican, which is so typical of American politics, is a backwards perspective which is one of the toxic intellectual residues left over from America's past history as a very religious Christian nation. it turns out that even when religion goes through its historical decay, some of its core ideas survive, since people are the products of thousands of years of accumulated culture. Even those who call themselves 'progressives' and whose boast is that they are 'not religious' may as well be religious for their politics is the politics of moral values, and they blame problems upon unethical politicians. This makes American politics so very partisan and so divisive. America is now a post Christian nation that has not yet matured and grown up politically, and so its poiltics remained bogged down in the left over deterious of a collapsing religious mindset.

Religion survived for such a long time because it took the form of a self fulfilling prophecy. Religion made the human mind stupid by employing that philisophically and theologically bankrupt doctrine of 'original sin' the only purpose of which was to protect the status quo by protecting systems and diverting all attacks into the dead end road of attacking individual sinners for all the problems flawed system of the status quo always produce throughout history. The end result of this practice was to plunge humanity into one ruinous and unchecked and unstoppable disaster after another. Ruinous things would be produced by that system, and if you study history you will see evidence for a psychological feed back loop in operation, in that each time humanity plunged blindly like lemmings over some cliff, the response was repentance followed by a type of 'religious revival', since the disasterous ruin once again produced by their fucked up systems was misinterpreted as being 'the divine punishment for sin'. Naturally the solution was more of that same religion which had caused the disaster in the first place, which then meant more disasters, followed by more repentance and more religious revival. When we understand this correctly we can see that religious doctrine was actually a deadly trap and a snare, a deep pit from which it took a very, very long time to escape. Eventually the unchecked and constantly uncontrolled evil unleashed on the world by the status quo and its systems which provide the powerful tools required to do evil would in the end destroy religion, for people would say, 'if there was a God how could these evil things happen.' For this religion would have no answer at the end of it all and the service rendered to the status quo would destroy the priest at the end of it all. The process would be a long one because of that curious feedback loop which would feed off disaster and instead of destroying religion would empower religion over and over again for a considerable length of time.

Flipping Burgers in the Porn Industry

2007-10-16T22:10:00.000-07:00

I am astonished by what I have recently discovered about that porn industry. I had always assumed that gay porn stars, as one example, were probably making between 25,000 and 50,000 a picture, with perhaps the odd porn star bringing in 100 grand a picture. If someone would have asked me, 'what do you think they earn,' that would have been my best guess. Now I have discovered that they are working for a couple of grand. Yes, our kids are going out and applying for jobs in that porn industry in the same way they would apply for a job flipping burgers and asking people 'would you like fries with that, sir?' Granted, they are getting two or three months of burger money in a couple of hours on some afternoon, and maybe that seems like a good deal, but when you average it all over time, it is burger money. Yes, even straight boys are appearing on film to pretend to do the fag thing, and it is not even required that they be bribed with 25, 50, or 100 grand. They do it for peanuts. That amazes me, and I just cannot get the thought out of my mind. It haunts me. The porn industry is enormous. It is now the biggest segment of the entertainment industry, dwarfing conventional movies, television and cable channels, and the sports industry. It brings in about 60 billion dollars a year, and if you think in terms of decades, it is a trillion dollar industry. It is obviously enormously profitable, and I would like to be even more surprised by finding out what the profit margin is in this particular capitalist enterprise, but I am quite sure given the low costs involved in producing this highly profitable product, that we would discover an enormously huge profit margin, unlike that of any other industry on this planet. Typically profit margins might measure in the low double digits, and a twenty five percent return would be considered exceptional, and therefore when your rate of return in measured in four figures I am sure, you know, thousands of percent, that is quite good, at least from the point of view of the capitalist 'entrepreneurs' who are obviously making tens of billions of dollars in profit on what must be a highly profitable 'investment' of peanuts, since peanuts is all that is required to make porn these days. It is the most excessive example of naked greed and exploitation of one human being by another that I can think of, and truly this porn industry represents what capitalism would like to be in every industry if only that was possible in every industry, instead of just being possible in that porno industry.

This upsets me because it indicates that our kids have no solidarity and no group consciousness, and they just glumly accept the fact that the world is divided between wealthy exploiters and the cheap exploited and the idea that someone can make two or three months of burger money in an afternoon thus seems like a good idea to our kids, a real great deal. They are like little sheep without a shepherd, and that disturbs me, and it also disturbs me that they just glumly accept whatever that exploitative capitalist system dishes out, and even the grossest and most excessive examples of domination and greed does not stir up any sort of opposition within them, because they have been abandoned by every shepherd they have ever known, and everyone keeps telling them that this is just the way things are. Accept it.

This gloomy acceptance of any kind of exploitation and greed is very disturbing to me, for it suggests that the world is going to be flushed down the shitter and that no hope exists for the future, and that poverty and disease and misery will be the lot of humanity, and that such things as one billion downtrodden people will continue to do without something as simple as a square meal a day for no other reason than that they lack a dollar bill in their pockets and are the brutally oppressed poor of humanity. The food exists, but then so does that capitalist system, and that grossly oppressive system dictates that the weak and the helpless must be purged from the system so that the strong may survive. Apparently everyone just accepts that idea, or they are brainwashed and think that poverty is the result of some tragic automobile accident, a thing out of our control and the result of some natural force, perhaps like an unpredictable and uncontrollable tornado or hurricane.

When I take it all in the fact that our kids will allow themselves to be greedily exploited in exchange for a few months of burger money all at once, and the fact that they think that this is about as good as a deal gets on this planet, leaves me feeling very depressed since it is a signal indicator of just how dismal the prospects for the planet are at the present time, and unless something changes, this present generation holds out little hope for the future. They are little sheep with no shepherd, and the shepherds they did have were nothing but bullies, rams with large horns who shove them out of the way with their horns, and then stick their hooves into the pools of water to stir up mud and muddy the waters. At the present time it would appear that all this constant bullying and this persistent oppression which is required if robber barons are to remain in power and ward off the threat posed by being surrounded by the incipient revolution caused by their evil deeds, all this has been successful and you can see how successful it is just by looking at that porn industry and seeing legions of our kids trekking off to work to get that great deal of two or three months of burger money in one afternoon, while at the same time thinking that was a good deal, or perhaps thinking it was a shitty deal but given how no one can do a damn thing about it, they accept such a shitty deal.

There is, however, something positive that I can see when I consider this strange looking picture, and that is that if a person was to look back even one generation, it is apparent that things were not like this. What this tells me is that sea change has just occurred in our society, and we now live in a post-Christian culture, or perhaps better said a post-religious culture, since every religion on the planet is losing the young generation and going into ruinous collapse at the same time. The fact that our kids think of a porn job the same way they think of a job flipping burgers is proof positive of this monumental change underway in human society, and it also explains the hysterics characteristic of religion today, as religion of every brand and sort frantically looks for someway to 'win the current generation.' Yes, it is payback time for religion, and now the buzzards are coming home to roost in that place, and all the unrighteousness and injustice of which religion was a partner in the past have completely discredited religion, for you cannot have nakedly hypocritical religion and a world full of ruthless oppression at the same time, for the blood of the martyrs does not water the soil for religion, bur what actually happens is that when a god's people get barbecued by a weirdo, such as happened to Israel, you will find no church left in a place like Europe. Hitler was correct when he predicted that it would take two or three generations to destroy the church and get rid of the damn thing. We should give credit where credit is due and call Hitler a type of prophet, since apparently Hitler was a lot smarter than some dogma spouting priest or some doctrine quoting preacher, for it was Hitler who was the prophet in this place while they were not.

The fact that the present generation has completely and totally rejected religion, leaving it to die by the side of the road, holds out great promise for the future of a suffering humanity, for it was religion that was responsible for the ruination of this planet. Religion accomplished this brainwashing by making people so damned stupid that they always thought the problems of the world were caused by 'sinful sinners' and that therefore the way to save the world was to 'morally reform' a 'sinner' and bring 'sinners' to 'salvation' doing so 'one sinner at a time.' The actual truth was that religion was a tool of oppression designed for the purpose of disgusing the fact that sinful systems were in place on the earth, for protecting the status quo does not involve protecting individual people, but rather it is the protection of sinful systems of domination and oppression which empower individual oppressors who then play a game of musical chairs and take turns crushing the rest of the human race. They can do so not because they are powerful people, for they actually wipe their own arse ends after they take a shit, but rather they were able to pull levers and punch buttons which were kept safely in place by that tool of oppression and that servant of the status quo, hypocritical and corrupt religion, and the brainwashing doctrine of 'original sin' which religion employed to keep people so damned stupid and ignorant that they were critics of sinful people rather than becoming critics of corrupt and sinful systems, which were the real problem.

It was not for nothing that Caesar choose the priest and elevated the priest to supreme power in the fourth century, for by then the so called 'doctrine of salvation' had been perfected, and the cow sacrifice of the god baby Jesus for sin had replaced the true meaning of crucifixion, which was an act of terrorism and brutal oppression by Caesar. This is obvious, but it is equally obvious that this is something that people forgot once they listened to that Merlin the magician, the priest, and all the other things they forgot after that was inevitable and the world now heads to ruin as the result of this rotten corruption, as it was destined to from the very beginning of that worthless plot to stabilize the Roman status quo and preserve that Roman slave driving system by teaching the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Anti-Moses to those Roman slaves.

Ramon keeps busy

2007-10-13T23:49:00.000-07:00

Ramon Watkins (aka 'Prophet Yahweh') continues to keep himself busy posting videos to his YouTube channel. He posted this video on October 10th and he has just posted another on October 13th which shows an enlongated glowing object. This looks similar to an object we saw in Melville Saskatchewan back in 1975. It was in the evening, and the elongated objected was glowing a reddish color and was covered with multicolored blinking lights, much like a Christmas tree. The object had that 'cigar shaped' look you sometimes hear reports about. The reason for this appearance (elongated and pinched at both ends, much like a cigar) is because this is the view of a flat disk viewed edge on, when only the edge of the disk is illuminated. As the edges of the disk curves on both ends this gives the object a 'cigar shaped' appearance.

According to Ramon's blog and the entry concerning this elongated craft Ramon states that after he filmed the craft he noticed about half a dozen jet fighters scrambling at Nellis Airforce base, which is located just the East of where Ramon lives, and since Ramon is only filming in what looks like the back alley behind his house, this would mean that whatever comes around would be attracting some attention over at Nellis. This is the one positive thing I can think of to say about Ramon's recent spate of activity, and I can see how it would be possible to make something good out of a bad situation provided that those people over at Nellis airforce base listen to me and do not listen to Ramon when he starts preaching about frying all of humanity in vats of bubbling oil like french fries because humanity did not do all 600 of those really rotten stone aged Bible laws.

It is interesting to note here that I shut Ramon down for about two years, starting in 2005. He made a brief comeback early this summer, and then I shut him down again, this time only for a few months, for suddenly this fall he is back in business again. This time I am having a harder time chasing away those flying snakes who are helping Ramon to spread superstitious dread and horror concerning those 600 prehistoric Bible laws. I am assuming that those things are those flying snakes I have been warning you people about in my previous blog entries (for example, here and here) because I cannot see why some dancing angel would do anything to help Ramon preach those rotten Bible Laws and his horrific 'end times prophecies' concerning the vast majority of humanity boiling in oil for a trillion billion years because they did not watch Ramon on YouTube and then start doing those stone aged rituals found in those 600 rotten bible laws. The fact that I have been able to chase those things away in the past also convinces me that those things are harmful fig leaf peddling flying snakes out to ruin the garden with rotten religious superstitions, for you see all I had to do to get rid of those things in the past was to warn them that I can work with a flying snake. If they want to help out by showing up and enlightening people as to what is going on up there that will be quite fine with me. Since no flying snake wants to help me, they think it over, and they leave. However, as I have said in the past, that tactic will not work forever, and apparently those snakes are now getting worried and when a snakes gets that worried it becomes a very busy snake with nothing left to lose and then it becomes impossible to shake those things off.

In July, Ramon posted a bit of a rant where he insisted that the fact that he makes these videos of these flying snakes is evidence that he is the 'true comforter of Israel'. This claim is based upon Ramon's personal interpretation of certain books of the Bible which he claims predicted that someday Ramon would film glowing flying objects and then post the videos on YouTube. in the video Ramon issues a challenge to 'a so called prophet' (referring to me) and then challenged me to post my own videos to YouTube. At the moment I am not to worried about Ramon, because he is afraid to do anything in public for fear of more of that dreadful humiliation, and so he has fearfully retreated and will now just film in the back alley behind his house and then post any results he gets on YouTube. This is no great threat, since he won't get into much trouble or get much attention for his efforts, for I am sure that Ramon has heard of Paint Shop, and as Ramon himself knows, there are those who have posted the most amazing fakes on YouTube which they claimed were 'UFOs'. For this reason I couldn't be bother posting anything on YouTube myself, and the only reason why Ramon would be found posting on YouTube is because he is afraid of the public humiliation that still haunts him from his past fiascos.

Ramon was shut down for two years, and then just when I got busy late this spring, Ramon suddenly got busy for a couple of days, before I shut him down once again. Now that I am getting busy with that 'intelligent design' experiment (as I have called it) suddenly Ramon gets busy again. It is interesting to note how we seem to be tied at the hip, and the reason for these curious coincidences is that Ramon is being visited by some increasingly worried and agitated flying fig leaf peddling snakes, and it would appear that my days of being able to get rid of those things are over, because even though I am trying that same stunt and warning those snakes about stirring up trouble over at Nellis Airforce base, as just one example of the trouble a snake could get into while helping Ramon, nevertheless those things will not leave. They will get more and more reckless the more convinced those snakes become that there is no longer anything to lose and therefore nothing to hide. They will come out pretending to be 'angels of light' while at the same time attempting to spread those 600 rotten bible laws and some cruel religious superstitions, not to mention a pile of those bullying fig leaves, which is a contradictory agenda, since no lovely dancing angel behaves so atrociously.

One good thing that I can say about Ramon is that Ramon appears to be a genuinely sincere religious fanatic when it comes to his religious devotion to the phony laws so important to a flying snake. When Ramon was shut down for two years, he stayed shut down for two years, and when Ramon was shut down for this summer, he stayed shut down for the summer. Ramon will wallow in humiliation and failure, but he will not fake videos, which is an interesting quirk in his personality. However, as it has been said, the road to hellishness is paved with good intentions, and there is nothing good to be said about being sincerely fanatical. That sincere fanaticism which is typical of Ramon Watkins actually makes him even more dangerous because it means that he is the type who would barbeque human beings on sticks like roasting marshmallows for the crime of having sex or not wearing a fig leaf in the garden. Ramon himself has stated that once he achieves supreme power, assuming such a weird disaster ever did happen, he would be roasting every fag and dyke in the country like melting marshmallows, and unmarried teenage girls who have sex or even worse get pregnant are also on the bible hit list. It is interesting to note how those Bible sex laws for the most part target human sexuality, an that would just be the start of Ramon's fanatically religious behavior in the service of those good for nothing bible laws which Ramon, who does not know YAHWEH and knows nothing about the Garden of Eden, thinks are laws of some god, for no other reason than that they were voted upon by some rabbis in the first century. One man's vote becomes another man's 'law of a god'.

Untreated Psychiatric Patients

2007-10-12T14:08:00.000-07:00

There is is this interesting contradiction that I see in religion, in that apparently blasphemy is required in the pulpit, while at the same time God is expected to attend church. One notable example of this sort of thing is seen when some church appoints an untreated psychiatric patient to do duty in the pulpit, and then as one would expect from the pulpit comes delusional ravings and mad visions. According to the doctrine of 'family salvation' there is this 'Jesus Christ' who resembles a serial killer like the Night Stalker, and he is going to torture your grandma because your grandma has not confessed his name and done all that religious stuff. This Jesus Bundy Christ might also be about to climb through the window and bump off your brother or your aunt, just depending on whether or not they did the blood sacrifice thing or not. When I listen to these serial killer rants I know that somehow a refugees from a mental hospital somehow have been given charge over the duties at so many of the nations churches.

All day long I spread out my hands to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own evil plans. They are a people who perpetually provoke me to my face, crouching among the tombstones and keeping vigil, drinking pig's blood, their cauldrons filled with a foul brew, and who say, "Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am to holy for you." People like this are like smoke in my nostrils all day long. Behold, it is written before me: "I will not keep silent, but I will repay, yes, I will repay them both for their own sins and for the sins of their ancestors, for having sacrificed on the mountains and reviled me upon the hills. I will first measure out their reward and then I will repay them in full for all their former deeds."

EvilGene meets 'Brent'

2007-10-12T13:59:00.000-07:00

I thought I would post a link to 'EvilGene's' blog, where he mentions that he just met Sean Lockhart (or as his alter ego is called, 'Brent Corrigan'). According to Gene, "he is such a nice guy and I had such an enjoyable time we met for dinner and got to hang out at Lucky Pierre at the Stud last night. I feel very lucky that I got the chance to meet someone who truly was a sweet guy." That was very nice to hear. I always thought so myself. Sometimes Sean can be like Superboy, but every now and then Superboy gets taken down by a piece of Kryptonite, and someone very vulnerable and charming shows through. Gene also posted a set of photographs.

Iran offers to help out in Iraq

2007-10-09T19:53:00.000-07:00

According to IRNA, the official news agency of Iran, the Mullahs in Tehran are once again offering to help out in Iraq, provided that the Americans get out.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said here Sunday that Iran is ready to help American troops leave Iraq if they wish to.

"That's not a new stance; we have repeatedly informed the US party that if its troop pullout from Iraq is based on a definite time-table and schedule and if there is any need for Iran's help, we are ready to assist," said Hosseini in his weekly press briefing.

Hosseini made the remark when asked about Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani's recent announcement that Iran is ready to help the US draw up a time-table for Iraq withdrawal.

Larijani, saying that the US is pursuing a "dead-end strategy" in Iraq, suggested the US party that Iran is willing to help Washington stabilize the situation if it sets a withdrawal timetable.

"If they [Americans] have a clear definition of a timetable we'll help them materialize it," Larijani was quoted saying in an interview with London's Financial Times Monday.

But he added: "If the US is persisting with its mistakes, it shouldn't ask for help from us,".

The trouble with Iraq, he said was that the US had a "dead-end strategy."
The Supreme National Security Council secretary also suggested that both the US Democratic party and the British government were getting it right in Iraq.

The Democrats' push for a timetable for withdrawal "seems to be logical," he said, and the British were "more intelligent than the Americans", having made the "necessary adjustments" and retreated to Basra airport.

The liberals and the liberal middle of the road type churches and some leftist types in America have adopted as their policy 'let's give Iraq to those Mullahs in Tehran.' They never actually come right out with it and say that this is their policy, but it is obvious that it is their policy, for an American withdrawal from Iraq will result in giving Iraq to those Islamic Mullahs in Tehran. It is for this reason that when I listen to those church ministers and those liberals they are always pointing out just what a bunch of really nice guys those Mullahs are and that they are not tyrants at all, but rather they are the kind of people we can talk turkey with. You see, if the American people find out that they gave Iraw to those mullahs they would be pissed off, but they might be less pissed off about it once they find out just what a nice bunch of fellas those mullahs really are. Thus the propaganda drive of those liberals and leftist types to polish an apple for those mullahs in Tehran.

It has been said that politics makes for strange bedfellows, and this would be one more example of the same sort of thing, for anyone who is familiar with the mullah would know that the first thing they do when they seize power is they hand out machine guns to Islamic fanatics who then line up liberals against the wall and go "rat a tat a tat", for if there is one thing a backwards prehistoric Islamic mullah just hates it is someone with a liberal attitude towards life. Fortunately the American liberal has an ocean and a couple of continents separating them from those Islamic mullahs and so they are safe and can become chums with those mullahs without worrying about taking a bullet, like all those Iranian liberals took a bullet. As for our liberal middle of the road church ministers, I have noticed that they never look to the people of Iran, but rather they look to the ruling Mullahs. This is understandable because if a liberal or leftist type were to look to the people of Iran they would find a people who have, for a very long time, wanted nothing more than to get rid of those gun toting Mullahs, and that would make for poor propaganda. Therefore the people of Iran will become nonentities, and as for the people of Iraq, well they can get stuck with those Iranian Mullahs as well, and as we know from the example of Iran, they will be stuck with those Mullahs for one hell of a long time, for there is nothing harder to do than to get rid of some gun toting stone aged religious fanatic. Just ask the people of Iran.

It is obvious that "American Imperlialism" is heading towards a show down with those Mullahs in Tehran, and it is also very obvious that "American Imperialism" will agree to give Iraq to those Islamic Mullahs in Tehran when pigs fly. No, Americans will bleed in Iraq until hell freezes over tens times colder than Antartica before that ever happens. Therefore those liberals who want to give Iraq to those Mullahs in Tehran are pursuing a dead end strategy, because that will never, ever happen.

One of the the cartoons I follow, Get Your War On published a panel in March of 2007, commenting on the provocative statements coming out of Tehran, which read "Does President Ahmadinejad actually want us to invade Iran? He's sure acting like it." The other character replies, "I can't tell. Maybe he's just fucking around because he's bored-the diplomatic equivalent of sticking frogs in a microwave."

Why are the Americans in Iraq?

2007-10-09T18:51:00.000-07:00

This summer American Naval power circumnavigated the coast of Africa, and American air power was also employed to assist the Ethiopian army in the invasion of neighboring Somalia in order to expel the new Islamic fundamentalist government that had taken control of Somalia a few months prior. It is worth noting here that both Sudan, where the crisis in Dafur is located, and Somalia have oil resources, and in the case of Somalia these oil resources are mostly unexploited because of the endless turbulence and violence in that country. The African continent is now one of the world's new hot spots for oil exploration and production, which goes a long way towards explaining why Washington announced not long ago the formation of a new Africa Command similar to NATO in Europe.

There are those who might assume that the reason for this interest in oil, whether the oil be found in Iraq or Africa or any other country in the world can be explained as the result of pure greed for black gold. Certainly wherever this is gold to be found of any color there will also be found the greedy international investor, but greed is not the complete explanation.

People can be good people or they can be bad people or they can be somewhere in the middle, but when people participate in systems which are in place, the systems dictate their behavior, and so we could see even good people going bad when the system dictates such behavior. This is not a problem of 'originally sinful pigs' but rather a problem with the system itself.

Modern capitalism is a system based upon rivalry and competition, rather than planning and cooperation, and for this reason capitalism has always been found to sink to the lowest common denominator, and periodically even crash in ruins as the intractable difficulties introduced by the chaotic behavior of that system finally become insolvable.

It only takes one creepy bunch of capitalist with really bad morals to start a trend. We can see that in the previous centuries when greedy cabals of capitalists first decided to lower their input costs and raise their profits by invading technologically backwards countries and then ruthlessly exploiting their resources. Thus began the age of imperialist colonialism, and as we know it wasn't long before the entire planet was being invaded and ripped off, and at the height of the global invasion, as one capitalist nation after another lowered their costs by invading other countries around the world, Great Britain had invaded and was controlling about one quarter of the entire globe, with the rest of the globe being divided up between the rest of the European capitalist nations, while the United States kept up with the pack by invading countries like the Phillipines and repeatedly invaded countries in central and south America. The result of all this plundering and looting was the creation of what today is called the impoverished 'Third World', for such global poverty is not some kind of historical accident but the end result of the workings of the capitalist system over the previous centuries.

It was this process that then led to two major world wars, for Germany was not a nation until about 1870, when Bismarck led a military force that invaded and united all the little left over feudal fiefdoms and created the modern country of Germany in the process. By this time Germany was late for the party and there were no more countries in the world left to be invaded and conquered. Germany is a resource poor country which was reliant on imports and for this reason German capitalism was not very competitive on the international markets, and given the bleak future for the German economy this led to fierce battles with the other European powers. If you were to read the actual unedited texts of Hitlers speeches in various beer halls and other such venues, you would find that one topic he returned to over and over again was what he called the injustice that had resulted from the inequality that existed among the great powers, in that Germany had no imperialist colonies. Hitler was forced to attempt to rectify this situation by once again attacking the other European imperialist powers to clear the way for his true agenda, which was the invasion of Russian and her satellite states, which would then become imperialist colonies for Germany and provide those cheap raw resources that German capitalism required if it was to compete on the world markets. Unfortunately for Hitler, he was not able to invade technologically backwards countries, since none were left, and instead was locked into mortal combat with an industrialized modern state, and as we know in invading Russia he bit off more than he could chew.

Today we see a similar drive towards imperialist expansion in the world, and what is driving the behavior of the American government is found to be in the rivalries and competition of the global capitalist system. The last two decades have seen the rise of China, most notably, as well as the rise of India and this has led to tightening of the global oil markets and the rise of oil prices. Washington was faced with the choice of allowing Saddam Hussein to sell the oil of Iraq, which was required on the markets to prevent an even greater escalation in oil prices which would harm the global capitalist economy, or Washington could kick Saddam out, which is the choice they made, since they were unwilling to tolerate allowing Saddam to get back into the oil markets by lifting those sanctions. As for Africa and African oil, those countries are very impoverished, the result of previous centuries of imperialist exploitation, and this makes these countries very unstable, and if even one of those African countries becomes the victim of civil unrest which then interrupts the oil supply to world markets, this would then push up the price of oil even further, threatening the global capitalist economy.

For this reason politicians will supremely piss off the voters and do things that no one wants them to do, but which they will do no matter how damn much trouble they get into while they are doing these things, because their behavior is being dictated not by moral choices but rather by the constantly changing demands of the chaos produced by the rivalries and intense competition characteristic of that capitalist system.

Embarrassing

2007-10-09T18:03:00.001-07:00

Last night the dancing angel said to say to that Catholic Church, "How embarrassing it must be for the Pope who leads the Roman Catholic Church, the church whose claim to fame is that they were the church with no god."

600 Rotten Bible Laws

2007-10-09T17:47:00.000-07:00

Now that Ramon is back, I thought it might be good to start having some more fun with those 600 rotten Bible laws. Sooner or later I am not going to be able to chase away those flying fig leaf peddling snakes. However, just to make the best of a bad situation, if some of you people out there would like to get some idea of what a dancing angel might look like, you might want to take a look at Ramon's snake videos, and you will get some idea of what I am talking about. One of the differences between myself and Ramon is that I am able to talk to the dancing angel, and I can get 'yes or no' answers to questions, which gives me some feedback (the craft becomes brilliantly luminous to indicate 'yes' or it fades to indicate 'no').

I am not really in the mood to go on a hilarious rip and shred those six hundred bible laws with ironic satire, however I thought I might point out a few of the more excellent examples of these stone age superstitions, starting with those pigeon laws.

Now the pigeon was an all purpose bird, and you could buy a pigeon whenever you needed to make an animal sacrifice for some sin, but were unable to afford something more expensive, such as a sheep, goat or cow. Consider those pigeons to be the Walmart option.

Pigeons were always on sale, for women were always menstruating, and so priests could peddle pigeons at least once a month, because women were always bleeding out of their pussies, which was a sin, which required a women to buy a pigeon and wring that birds neck to 'atonement for her unclean blood.'

Childbirth was also a sin, and even the Virgin Mary was required to purchase and strangle a couple of pigeons to make up for that dreadful sin of giving birth to the little Lord Jesus, and then she was required to go into prison and be in solitary confinement. Fortunately the priests only locked her up for a short time because the little Lord Jesus was a boy baby, which is less a sin than giving birth to a girl which would get a woman locked up in solitary confinement for about two months. You see, as powerful a ritual as twisting the head off a pigeon was it was still not powerful enough to make up for the sin of child birth, and thus women had to be sent to prison for a time to make up for a sin that bad. One can only assume that without the dead pigeon, women would be locked up for a year or two instead of just getting two months in solitary confinement, so we can say that ripping the head off some pigeon was still useful even if it was not completely effective.

Pigeons were also useful when it came to removing the sin out of houses. You could tell that your house had a sin upon it when such things as mold and mildew showed up on your bathroom tiles. The way to get rid of such a sin as 'house leprosy', as they called it in prehistoric times, was to buy two pigeons. The first pigeon would have its neck twisted off and then it would be held upside down until a pan was filled with its draining blood. The second live pigeon would then have its beak used as a cleaning tool According to those wonderfully intelligent Bible laws, what you were supposed to do is dip that live pigeons beak into the blood of the dead pigeon and then use that beak as a tool to get rid of that mold and mildew. You would then wait one week, and if that did not work, and you still had mildew on your bathroom tiles, then you must call for a priest and the priest will burn your house down. This was required because your house remained sinful, and there was also the risk of having that mildew hop off the walls and onto people, this being the cause of human leprosy. To prevent this dreadful disease it was required to try that pigeon beak thing and when that didn't work, which it probably never did, then they would be burning down houses as part of the prehistoric world's ongoing battle with leprosy.

The Return of Ramon

2007-10-09T17:09:00.000-07:00

Back in May, 2007, after being shut down for about two years, Ramon Watkins briefly returned and began filming his glowing craft. The first video has about 18 minutes of Ramon preaching about 'Black Israelite Religion' and then at about the 19 minute mark one of these glowing orbs appears. In the second video he films about half a dozen of these glowing orbs and receives an enthusiastic response from a spectator. I was able to shut down Ramon's operation for about four and a half months by reminding those flying snakes that I will be along for the ride, for all that really matters is that people become aware of what is going on and even one good look at a flying snake would be enough to wake people up. Since flying snakes aren't to interested in waking people up that warning was enough to get rid of those things for another four or five months.

Now, just when I have decided to step on the gas pedal and begin working on that 'Intelligent Design' project once again, and pick up where I left off when I half finished healing my nose, wouldn't you know it, Ramon returns and so do those flying snakes. Well that is a real coincidence. His latest video consists of about 7 minutes of Ramon preaching, and then he includes video of three more of these glowing orbs he managed to shoot in the last few days. According to his preaching, he is being blessed because he intends to preach those six hundred or so prehistoric stone aged Bible laws, those dreadful and awful things. It is for this reason that I tell people that Ramon is filming flying snakes, and those things are not angels at all, for an angel would never destroy the human personality by imposing those horrid Bible laws on anyone. Only some flying fig leaf peddling snake in the garden would do a disgusting thing like that.

Ramon has gone over the top and is predicting that sometime in the next few days he will film a big space ship, soaring over Los Angeles. When he fails to do this, which is the most likely outcome, he will begin to make those ridiculous excuses. I have noticed he already has a two month excuse ready to go, in that he is once again going on a '60 day fast', so every failure for the next two months is already covered, for he can tell those brainwashed followers of his that he is 'fasting' and when the two months run out, he can buy some more time by claiming that he needs to complete a divine project or that he forgot to do something, since he is always forgetting to do something, and so on and so on and so on....

It remains to be seen if that rebellious so called prophet is going to 'get lucky' this time. Sooner or later those flying snakes are going to throw caution to the wind, and Ramon will go on a ruinously destructive roll, and I feel very sorry for anyone who is assaulted by that man, for his followers are like deranged superstitious wrecks.

Ramon has a history of humiliating disasters, and it is typical of Ramon to use the eraser and send his past history into the nether world of cyberspace by hitting the delete button. However Patrick Cooke has refused to let him get away with it that last time he tried to do that, and you can survey the damage left by Ramon's last major fuck up over at Patrick Cooke's expose of Prophet YAHWEH.

Powering up

2007-10-08T11:10:00.000-07:00

As I mentioned the other day, I have come up with a new strategy to deal with this place. My plot is to pick up on that thing where I was 'reversing the aging process' and becoming 'the New Adam' who was 'returning to Eden'. (To see some photographic evidence of the changes that took place on that nose of mine, visit my home page and follow the links where it reads 'Intelligent Design Experiment' if you are unfamiliar with what I am talking about here.) This is a much better idea than trying to get some 'raging granny' to get up off her rocking chair and crack some porno producer over the head with her cane, for you see the reason why some of those guys behave so badly is that they are old and they are very very bitter. If the boy next door falls on hard times and if they can become rich and thus achieve a sense of power, they can turn the tables on Mother Nature and they can become the dominant alpha male, and fulfill their fantasies.

This morning I stood in front of the mirror staring at that half healed nose as I worked on 'powering myself up.' If only you could see that thing. A girl I know who hadn't seen my in a while was stunned speechless and stood staring at that nose unable to make sense out of what she was seeing. There is this line along the right side of my nose where the healing process ends and then this small ruined patch on the right side of my nose that I was 'saving for later,' assuming that there would be 'a break in the weather' you might say, and I could pick up where I left off without worrying that all the ruthless oppression would ruin everything for me. You see, I am not doing this for myself, but rather the idea is to change the way people think. I also had hair growing on the right side of my head when I slammed on the brakes. None on the left. This is the curious thing about this process, in that it is asymetrical. It began on the left side of my nose, crossed the middle of my nose, and then before it could move onto that patch on the right side I stopped. The reverse is true on the top of my head in that the hair began sprouting on the right side.

Well as I said, I have been staring at those results so that I can become 'powered up' and really start making some changes. I plan to sign up at the YMCA at the beginning of November and gradually work my way back up to a mile a day in the pool. I hate the weight room, and aside from swimming only those crunchies for the abs are required since swimming does not impact the abs.

When I have some photographic results to report, I will be posting the results, perhaps sometime in December.

By the way, the dancing angel was around again last night and said that there is no free press in this place. That really is true, because you would think people would give me a break when I am pulling stunts like this one, but they don't.

Jeremiah

2007-10-06T23:10:00.000-07:00

On my main blog I told the story of how I was a pubescent twelve year old revolutionary little fag, and I also told the story of how damned sorry I was that I was so revolutionary, because I was getting the living shit beat out of me just about every day after I started that revolutionary act. I also told the story of how I emerged victorious in that revolution a few years later, in that suddenly no one could touch me, because peer pressure was in force that would not allow any more beatings to take place.

One thing that I failed to mention is that I was little Adam, the Prayer Warrior, who went up the mountain of Paradise in Banff, and met YAHWEH, the God of the Garden of Eden, and then came back to my hometown, glowing like a five hundred watt bulb. Yes, I had charisma, and I was glowing. I was the happiest kid on earth, and I emitted a powerful glow, and this sudden transformation was so noticeable to every kid I went to school with that it knocked them back on their heels.

You see, I did not achieve that revolutionary victory by myself. I had help.

Now, today, I am Jeremiah. Yes, I am so down in the dumps, I am like Jeremiah, the weeping prophet. I look around this place, and I ask myself just how long has it been since I have done some house cleaning around here. Oh fuck it, I say to myself. Yes, I just don't give a damn anymore. I am Jeremiah, and naturally I don't have much in the way of magnetic charisma. Even dancing angels cannot cheer me up. Even that offer of a great big embrace I just received has not cheered me up, although it should, because I am every old fags dream come true, and just the cure for what ails every bitter old queen. Or at least I will be after I get that big embrace at which time I will also be transformed into Happy Adam and I will no longer be Jeremiah.

The Fall of Adam

2007-10-06T22:44:00.001-07:00

Religious people have this doctrine describing the 'Fall of Adam' and the expulsion from Paradise in the Garden of Eden. Strangely enough, religious people do not have a doctrine concerning picking themselves up out of the dirt into which they fell by returning to Eden. This is probably because religious people are addicted to the fig leaf and is there anything holier or more sacred to a religious person than the divine fig leaf. Conversely is there anything filthier to a religious person than the thought of naked Adam with no fig leaf. According to that satire of religion we are told that before the people were trained by the snake to become 'wise like God' they were nakedly human and they had no shame. Shame only came after that snake tricked them into eating that poisoned apple in the center of the Garden, which symbolizes religion. Apparently religious people still believe that snake and think that they are learning 'the knowledge of good and evil' by studying 'sacred scripture' when actually they are just becoming very fucked up. It is for this reason that religious people have decided to remain in their fallen state and if they see anything that looks the least bit like the naked human without any sexual shame they go on the attack.

I know something about 'the Garden of Eden' and I also know something about how when you listen to the snake of religion suddenly you fall and you wind up getting bounced out of the Garden. I haven't told this story before, but you see, I was only in Paradise for a couple of months before I did the Adam thing myself, got tricked by a snake, and then got bounced out of Paradise.

I do not know why this happened but somehow the idea of some snake got into my head about two months after I came down from that mountain in Paradise in Banff, and I started to think to myself that this God was that same fig leaf peddling snake we read about in the Bible. The idea was so horrible to me and it filled me with such revulsion that one evening when one of these bright luminous craft I tell people about once again visited me in Melville, Saskatchewan, I announced that I never wanted to see one of those things again. Go away, I told them, as I proceeded to kick myself out of the Garden. No one threw me out. I tossed myself out.

It was three years before I came back, and during that three years I somehow managed to make my mind go blank so that I was able to forget that I was even on the mountain in Banff. Even after I returned three years later I still found myself locked into a very long battle with left over religion and those deceitful fig leaf peddling snakes.

I have no idea how this happened. Let us just say that those snakes are sneaky creatures. There really isn't much to be said for the ideas of some snake. It certainly did not do religion much good, for as we know religion is infamous for having no god of any sort, and it has been that way for one hell of a long time. It is obvious that religion listens to that fig leaf peddling snake as you can tell by those holy and sacred fig leafs religion peddles on behalf of that snake, for like me, somehow religion was tricked into thinking that perhaps that snake might be a very real god. This then leads to the fall and the expulsion from Paradise, which then means that humanity will spend ages of time struggling with question 'does God exist', for when you have that fig leaf peddling snake as your god, it means you don't have a god at all, thus making the idea of God very controversial for that very reason. If religious people had a god there would be no controversy but they don't have one, and so there is controversy for that very reason. It just logically follows. It is also good that no mercy or compassion is ever extended to religious people and that they must drop dead to find out if there is a God, for if they had a god in this life it would encourage religion rather than discouraging the practice until finally religion collapses into ruins, as it has finally been doing in our time.

I suppose that here we can see the key difference between myself and religion, in that when religion gets kicked out of the Garden, they plan never to return, and instead set as their highest goal the escape from their filthy and shameful naked flesh by taking refuge in becoming a purified ghost in heaven, whereas I have never ceased in my struggle to get back into that Garden. I know something about Gardens, and I know something about getting tricked by snakes and then being expelled from Gardens. I had everything, yes, I had it all, and it was that religion which destroyed me and left me with a heap of ruins and left me struggling for years to recover and pick up the shattered pieces. This is no plan of salvation being preached by our godless long neglected religion, which is the correct explanation for why it has been true that God really did exist but no one ever knew this was true because they had all this godless and rejected religion which was responsible for the Fall and the expulsion from Paradise.

Why do people do bad things

2007-10-06T21:49:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about bad porno producers over the last few days, contemplating their atrocious looking conduct, and asking myself why people do bad things. I have in mind a particularly sleazy looking porno producer, who advertises that he has found desperate street kids who will do anything for peanuts, because they are really just that hard up. If this is not bad enough he then attaches labels to their photographs saying things such as, 'this piece of white trash is ready to do it all'. It is not enough to exploit those street kids and brag about being some kind of vulture circling the streets like a buzzard looking for road kill, but the whole degrading and filthy looking scenario would never be complete without completely stripping those streets kids of the last shred of their humanity. That porno producer will also have to force that kid to perform some degrading cliches and apparently there are people out there who are just as ruinously screwed up as that porno producer, because that porno producer advertises all this and apparently they get turned on by the idea because he is still in business.

Why do people do such bad things. You know, when you see some desperate street kids, you do not rub your hands with glee thinking about how degraded you can make them or the real cheap sex you can now get, because Adam has hit rock bottom.

It has occurred to me that one reason for this behavior is the bitterness that lives in the human heart when people consider that Adam is just a meat bag. A human being isn't worth much in this world, and that rotting meat can be found littering the planet every day. Life is cheap, and so therefore people might as revel in the cheapness. In this way I can see that such ugly conduct is a product of religion, for religion offers nothing but hollow words, and while religion is dogmatic, and therefore must quote correct dogma concerning just how lovely and loving the god of religion is at all times, nevertheless people are traumatized from an early age, and then repeatedly traumatized again and again by those large piles of rotting meat bags. No god of any sort has ever shown a trace of mercy to anyone on this planet, despite those hollow and worthless religious doctrines concerning 'mercy' and 'forgiveness'.

But then religion is just as brutalized and fucked up as everyone else on this planet, it is just that in the case of religion this brutality is expressed in a different way, and religion attacks and brutalizes other people, launching vicious attacks intended to degrade their very humanity, it is just that a bad porno producer does it in one way and some bad priest degrades and attacks everyone in a slightly different way. I can see much in common between that porno producer and that priest for they both deliver the message to the world that a human being is born into this world as a piece of worthless shit.

One other thing I have noticed when considering the bad behavior of that porno producer is that, alas, Adam becomes a rotting meat bag long before he is planted six feet under. Yes, the bloom goes off the rose pretty quick, and now Adam is very bitter. He does love the power play that comes with having money and he loves the results of a system of brutal exploitation that leaves lovely little Adam vulnerable.

It would seem to me that it has always been the intention of God that the human race would sink into some disgusting slime pile. It is interesting to note just how supremely fucked up a human being can become without God, because when you look at what is wrong with them (they are rotting meat bags with no future who have brutalized minds and who then brutalize others) it becomes obvious that the only solution for those people is the Garden of Paradise. It also becomes obvious that religion is no solution at all for godless godforsaken religion just increases the cynicism of the human race and by convincing people that God does not exist, religion makes the problem even more severe.

This would be just one more example of that blind hypocrisy that permeates godforsaken religion, with the ultimate hypocrisy being that religion is a long rejected godforsaken thing, but will never admit it, even if this means plunging the entire human race into pointless suffering and even into the pits of depravity. Some points just can never be made often enough or emphasized enough times, and so let religion take all the time she wants to think things over. Don't be in any rush. Take a few thousand years if you feel that you need it.

I have been thinking things over the last couple of days and it has occurred to me that the wrong solution would be to sick the 'Raging Grannies' after those porn producers. It is also wrong to be sitting around, impatiently tapping my fingers waiting for the infamous Wrath of God. I have been thinking of picking up on my experiment on 'reversing the aging process'. I have not wanted to do this over the last couple of years, since I first began, because I am brutally oppressed, and the idea of doing something like that off in some dark corner is horrifying to me. However since the problem here is that we have these mentally and morally depraved rotting meat bags on the loose on this planet, it might be a good plan to demonstrate to you people just how valuable it is to be New Adam, who went up the mountain of Paradise. It has also occurred to me that if I want to step on the gas pedal and really get some Wrath of God brought down on this planet, being ruthlessly oppressed by you people while I do something that beautiful would be the best way to go about getting what I want. So then some of you I might be able to save from your ruined and depraved mental state and some of you can have the Wrath of God brought down on your unrepentant heads. For you see the Wrath of YAHWEH was being revealed from the heavenly high places against all the wickedness of people down here, who for no other reason than that there were so damned wicked and bad all the time, deliberately kept trying to be oppressors who hid the truth about God, for the truth about God was being made quite clear to them, for it was YAHWEH who was making it clear to them. They would therefore be completely without excuse.

Quarrelling with the Pope

2007-10-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I am bothering to quarrel with the Pope, because this is the Pope we are talking about here, and who bothers with the Pope these days, right? However since the Pope wants to quarrel I thought I would reciprocate.

Now according to the Pope's latest bad tempered sounding venting, moral values must be imposed upon the majority by the religious minority, for the will of the majority can be wrong in a democracy, and so therefore the duty of imposing moral values on the rest of the society falls upon religious people. Since there are very few Catholics left, and certainly not enough Catholics left to impose Catholic morality upon an uninterested and unwilling population, the Pope has appealed to the Muslims and yes, even all the Protestants he can get on board, since before that plan could ever work he would need as big a minority as he can get if he is to have even a slim distant hope of imposing religion upon the unwilling and uninterested majority.

The Pope saw fit to emphasize the rationality of what he refers to as 'Natural law' which stands in opposition to what he refers to as 'ethical relativism'. According to the Pope, there are "primary and essential norms that regulate moral life...In its main precepts Natural Law is presented in the Ten Commandments ... because the reason that proclaims it is a characteristic of human nature...the doctrine of natural moral law clashes with other concepts which run directly contrary to it...majorities can make mistakes. True rationality is not guaranteed by the consensus of the greater number...scepticism and ethical relativism managed to annul the fundamental principles of natural moral law...the consciences of all men and women of good will must be mobilized, both lay people and followers of religions other than Christianity, so that together they may make an effective commitment to creating...the conditions necessary for a full awareness of the inalienable value of natural moral law."

According to the Pope we know that the Ten Commandments are not just some rules cooked up by ancient priests, but are in fact the divine revelation of a god type being, because reason proclaims this to be true. He also points out that natural law clashes with other concepts that stand in opposition to it, and since the majority are clearly wrong it is the duty of the minority of religious people to all join together in one mob to do something about it. Just what that might be, I do not know, unless he is referring to fascism, which is about the only way that a minority could ever employ the force required to overturn democracy, which the Pope doesn't like to much, and force religion on everyone else.

And it is the forcing of religion on everyone else that we are talking about here, and for that reason we must address the issue of whether or not such a religion has any merit so that it might lay claim to encapsulating the Natural Law.

We know that the Bible is a contradictory hodge podge, and reason proclaims this to be true. For example, in one of my favorite contradictory passages, Jeremiah proclaims the law of the Bible to be forgeries created by the priests of the day. In the seventh chapter he condemns the document of Leviticus and its animal sacrifice rituals, as well as the abominable practice of burning people at the stake for violations of religious sex laws, stating 'that was no command of God's.' In the eight chapter he complains that because of these Bible laws 'my people no longer understand the requirements of God. How can you say, 'we are wise, for we have the laws of God, when actually the lying pen of your priests have made it into a lie.' We are left to decide whether Leviticus and its story of Moses going up the mountain to bring down the priestly laws, including the Ten Commandments, is true or whether the condemnation of the priest for forgery found in the Jeremiah is true. Reason tells us that the prophet is the one making sense here, for as the argument from reason is made is the 50th Psalm by another critic of those priests and their forged laws, 'God does not need any sacrificed animals, for all the animals in the world belong to God.'

We also know that Moses did not just bring down those Ten Commandments from that mountain (since apparently it was the plan the whole time for Moses to release those slaves from bondage to Pharoah only to enslave them to priests, a sad ending to that story of liberation). Apparently Moses also brought down such gems as the following : 'When a man beats a slave to death he is not to be punished for the slave is his property.' Apparently it was alright to be the slave driver, but being the slave yourself was unacceptable. Or, 'if a man has sex with a slave girl, he is not to be punished. She is a slave.' Or, 'When you see a beautiful woman and find her desirable, then you may take her...if she ceases to please you then send her away.' Now it is hard to imagine any religious person arguing in favor of these laws, which then leads one to wonder why we would show favoritism and just pick out some law and then claim that it was of divine origin when reason tells us that what we have here are six hundred or so worthless laws that were obviously forged by the priests at that time. Now someone might suggest that we just pick out Ten of those laws that we like, but once again we are confronted with the problem of the source, which is the Bible, a notoriously fucked up and ruined book, and reason tells us that we have good reason to doubt the value of just about anything that comes from such a book, and can take nothing for granted given what a totally screwed up contradictory mess we have here. Reason also tells us that all people are human and thus pretty much made of the same stuff, and so therefore some fabricated argument that a Pope is someone special is an insult to reason, for it is quite likely that a Pope wipes his ass after using the toilet, and is pretty much the same as anyone else in everyway that really counts.

We also know that Yeshua ('Jesus') broke the Ten Commandments all the time, in particular that one about 'keeping the Sabbath', something he never bothered to do. In fact, it would appear that he went out of his way to work on the Sabbath, harvest on the Sabbath, or so we are told, and if we ignore the brainless excuses cooked up by the religious right in an attempt to make it seem like he had a perfectly valid reason each time he did that, thus proving that he wasn't really breaking the Ten Commandments, it becomes obvious that he was indeed making a statement by breaking those Ten Commandments, since it was not required that he do so and therefore he could only have been doing so by choice because he always had the choice of not pissing off the Pharisees on purpose. As those Pharisees always reminded him, quoting the Ten Commandments, 'six days you have to do your work but not on the Sabbath.' Apparently it is characteristic of a true Pharisee to feel the need to remind people of the obvious, and it was characteristic of Yeshua to antagonize religious people on purpose by inviting such condemnation for breaking the Ten Commandments.

We know that the Bible is a contradictory hodge podge, and reason proclaims this to be true, and here we have just one more of those contradictions in the Bible, only more radical than what you find in a prophet, and we also have an interesting contradiction between Yeshua and the Pope. This would not be the only one. For example, we are told that Yeshua said, 'you must not call me good, for only God is good.' This conflicts with the doctrines of Popes who taught that this Jesus of theirs was sinless, and very, very good, and in fact was a god. He also taught the people that you must not recognize any human claim to be an authority for everyone is equal and only God is the legitimate authority. "Do not call anyone on earth 'father'." We must assume then, that according to this Jesus of yours, no one earth must ever call some Pope 'Holy Father', not that this ever stopped a Catholic, for as we know Catholics are brazen hypocrites, and even when you confront them with something like that they just keep right on doing it. At the same time they claim to be the veritable mouth piece of God and this Jesus they carry on about. Reason tells us that these sorts of naked hypocrites are not the type we want ruling over the majority or presuming to impose any sort of morality upon the rest of us, since apparently they have none themselves and are in fact hypocrites.

We know that the source of Natural Law could never be the fucked up Bible. Religious people agree with me on this point, for as I mentioned, you can try that stunt of teaching a Catholic, for example, the Bible, and it makes no difference to them, and so therefore I cannot see why it should make any difference to anyone else. Even Catholics do not consider that screwed up ruined book, the Bible, to be some kind of authority in matters of doctrine, which becomes very obvious when a person attempts to teach simple Bible doctrines to a Catholic only to be told to go to hell.

If we can all agree that the Bible is not the source of moral values or Natural Law, then it must follow that the source for Natural Law must be found in the Natural World. This makes perfect sense, for it would be impossible for a priest to fuck up the Natural World and so we would suppose that at least here, in the natural world, we could expect to find unsullied and perfect natural law.

In the past I have made note of the conflict that exists between Canon Law and Natural Law, with Canon Law clearly promulgating easily refuted falsehoods concerning the observable reality of the natural world. Now let us consider one more example of where religious canon law conflicts with observable Natural Law, for as you yourself said, "the doctrine of natural moral law clashes with other concepts which run directly contrary to it." Where such a conflict is found to occur we would then know that the source of conflict was a falsehood masquerading as a Natural Law, for it was actually found to be in conflict with the Natural Law and thus ran directly contrary to it. This sort of observation should be all that is required to judge any system of thought which lays claim to giving expression to 'Natural Law'.

We know that it is the commandment of Natural Law that at around the age of 12 or 13 human beings go through puberty at which time, according to observable Natural Law, it is then required of them that they become sexually active. This age, around 12 or 13 must therefore be the right age for sexual activity, and since Natural Law can only be the Law of God, since we assume that devils don't create worlds, therefore this is also the plan of God for human adolescents. That this is abundantly true is proven by the surging rush of hormones that begins pumping through the veins of our teenagers, and in human males, they reach the very peak of their sexual vigor, with the highest amount of these hormones, sometime around the age of 18, with the amount of these sexual hormones and their sexual drive steadily increasing throughout adolescence as the gas pedal is pressed right to the metal. This is why religious people are required to participate in these hysterical and ridiculous looking abstinent chastity drives, for religious people are fighting a full scale war against God, for God is pressing the gas pedal while religious hysterics, who see that the gas pedal is clearly being pushed to the floor, frantically try to apply the brakes.

This is one fine example of how you people nullify the Law of God for the sake of your own cultural and religious traditions and you do many other things just like that.

Meet Sean Lockhart

2007-10-05T02:25:00.000-07:00

The porn industry has brought back the old 1930s style studio system, which means locking the performers into el cheapo contracts so that the really big money being generated by the porn industry goes to the studios. The porn industry is the biggest segment of the entertainment and media industry today (60 billion) but while the industry lays golden eggs, the performers typically receive the "industry standard" two thousand bucks an egg. What this means is that a porn star gets taken to the cleaners, fleeced, and then dumped with nothing while the porn producer gets very wealthy.

It turns out that when the porn industry did the attempted drive by fleecing on Sean Lockhart they were attempting to pluck the wrong chicken, for Sean Lockhart is driven by his personality style to be a fighter, and he offered resistance and became a run-away lamb. Sean was sixteen when he was first wooed by a porn producer, who is now dead, having had his head sawed off and his house burned down by a rival porn producer who wanted to free that locked down porn chicken from a contract, which would also free up those locked in millions in profits. Sean was also one of those kids from a broken home who is facing street life due to various circumstances in his life, and to a kid like that those couple of thousand small peanuts being tossed by a porn producer look good.

The problem here is that Sean Lockhart is driven by his personality style to fight back, and when he was a younger kid (he will be 21 on Hallowe'en) he might not have been acting fully conscious of what he was doing or what the consequences might be. I say this because when Sean Lockhart began the half plucked run away chicken, he was hoping maybe to get a better deal from someone else in the porn industry. The threat of big bucks lawyers and court cases eventually forced that run away chicken to return to get finally and fully plucked clean by that porn producer, and he would have been plucked clean if some other rival porn producer had not sawed the head off that first porn producer with a knife in the hopes of landing that lucrative contract himself. I say that Sean Lockhart is driven by his personality to take offense at such gross conduct and such unfair rip offs and that being a run away half fleeced lamb was inevitable when the porn industry tried plucking the wrong chicken, while at the same time Sean never did seem to grasp the concept that the other porn producers were not nice guys and that he would be severely black listed for starting the trend of the run away lamb (the one exception to the blacklist was Falcon studios, which must be an independent outfit, and big enough and powerful enough on its own that it could take the daring step of hiring that black listed run away lamb and then featuring Sean in a production that satirized the scandal - this took place before the nasty murder).

Sean then got a second fleecing when he tried to be revolutionary and start his own mini internet porn studio, when the investor conned him into signing a bad contract which left him getting not one plug nickel, and with, once again, no recourse to the courts because it was all done by signing on the dotted line. Even if some kind of a case could be made about that bad contract in court, it is unlikely that a fleeced lamb working for a little more than minimum wage could ever afford the lawyers, and so that becomes just one more really good fleecing by the porn industry.

Not only is Sean Lockhart a fighter by nature, driven to fight by powerful forces rising up from his unconscious mind from what I can tell, he is also made of tough stuff, so that when to punish him he was outed as a porn star to the entire world by having his true name plastered all over the internet, and when weird stalkers were encourage to hunt him down when his home address was plastered on the internet, and now when media rags like Rolling Stone are trying to bury the hatchet with Sean by burying that hatchet right into his skull, through it all Sean has been a survivor. However as resilient as Sean is and as full of a feeling of his own inherent self worth as Sean is, he is still not iron man and that is why I have become his strong advocate. What Sean needs is a good propaganda lawyer, the Clarence Darrow of propaganda, because he is just some kid who was driven by his personality style to rebel against cheap exploitation and was in the process thrown up against all the powerful forces of an industry that rakes in 60 billion dollars a year dishing out the same treatment to everyone else, only to have them keep their mouths shut about it. Because Sean was the run away lamb who caused a problem attempts have been made to do a hatchet job on Sean by portraying him as somehow less than human, a dirty little hustler and so on, simply because Sean is up against really rich and powerful forces and they don't want anyone so rudely interrupting their chicken plucking operations, especially not some mouthy damned half plucked little chicken who does not just quietly vanish into thin air after being taken to the cleaners, as is the case with most thoroughly plucked and tossed out chickens.

Should any other ripped off lamb get any ideas an example would be made out of Sean Lockhart who would be viciously outed publicly and then smeared and trashed by media outlets owned or influenced by big daddy porno bucks, which is hugely scandalous, since this story exposes the ruthless exploitation of the weak by the powerful.

Two exceptions to this rule would be Ralph Woods and Pierre Fitch who are also rebelling against that porn industry and trying to start up their own thing, perhaps with a little more luck than Sean Lockhart, who wound up getting fleeced really good a second time. Such is the fate of the male Marilyn Monroe of the gay porn industry. Everyone wants a piece of Marilyn, and this being the porn industry and those really bad porn producers, that would not be just a piece of Marilyn but rather the whole cake.

Scandal in the Porn Industry - A summary

2007-10-04T20:31:00.001-07:00

There are those who are unfamiliar with the story of the porno industry scandal, that I refer to in following posts. Because the porn industry is now the biggest segment of the entertainment industry (close to 60 billion - bigger than mainstream movies, television, sports) the scandal is being buried. The same media conglomerates that own the news media are also heavily invested in porn, and since they are making one hell of a lot more money off of porn that they are making off other media investments this is one scandalous murder trial that will not be getting the twenty four seven treatment.

What happened is that some high school male Marilyn Monroe type arrived on the scene and this was the trigger which was to set in motion a series of scandals culminating in grisly murder. Apparently sales of the videos were bestsellers in the 'twink' category, breaking previous sales records, and in the hopes of freeing the kid from a contract, one porn producer allegedly killed the other porn producer by sawing his head off with a knife and then burning his house down. The murder trial is currently underway but is taking place under the radar screen you might say because the seamy underside of the porn industry is being exposed. Sean Lockhart was the high school goose that laid the multimillion dollar eggs, in exchange for the industry standard 2,000 dollars an egg. The porn industry has brought back in the old 1930s studio system, which means locking performers into el cheapo contracts which then allow the studios to rake in huge profits while keeping their costs at the peanut level.

What we have here is not just a porn scandal, but also a media scandal, for it is obvious that the only reason why this case has not become the 'murder of the month' is because it is socially significant and threatens that golden goose. Some meaningless murder will become the murder de jour, simply because it is a meaningless murder. This illustrates the connection that exists between the supposedly objective media system and the porn industry since both are owned by the same conglomerates, and when a news story threatens the profit interests of the multinational, it does not become news.

Once this high school kid realized that he was being taken to the cleaners and fleeced by some porn producer, he tried to get out of that contract, with the porn producer threatening legal action, to continue fleecing that half fleeced lamb. Some half plucked high school chicken would be sent back to become completely plucked. Out nations judges would see to that, of that I am sure, and so was the kid, who capitulated to further ruthless fleecing. Nothing in our legal system is more important than property and money, and if that means that some chicken gets fully plucked by some shrewd porn producer then so be it. You can see that we also have a scandal that touches on issues concerning the legal system, because some under paid porno chicken cannot afford the expensive lawyers that the millions being raked in by the porn producer can pay for, and so must capitulate.

The scandal also touches upon political issues, since it was a political decision to deregulate ownership of media properties which then allowed these massive media empires to be created, which then allowed media barons to squash stories such as this one when it threatened the porn industry, the most highly lucrative of all those media properties.

I am extremely disgusted about what this scandal reveals about the porno industry. I am not angry at porn stars, but those porno producers are looking more and more like scum bags to me the more I consider their unbridled greed and corruption.

There are also issues of vulnerability that need to be addressed here, in that some of these kids, like Sean Lockhart, the young man at the center of this story, are in the position where they need somewhere to turn, and when they turn to that porno producer they can fall into that clutches of some scum bag who knows that our desperate lambs are ripe for another really good fleecing. Those chickens will be taken to the cleaners, fleeced, and then dumped, while that porno producer adds onto his collection of golden eggs being laid by the golden goose. Some porno websites actually make fun of the idea that they are greedily exploiting kids, playing up the fact that some of these kids are desperate kids who will be forced to do anything for money. Apparently there must be some emotionally screwed up people in the world who find that revolting idea to be a turn on, because it is featured in the advertisements for that porn. Yes, they are real hard up, and now they can be made to do just about anything in exchange for tossed peanuts. That we have such filthy scum bags preying on our children and even bragging about in the open is another scandal for our society as far as I am concerned.

The one solution would be to bust up that porno studio system, but given how hard up some of these kids are, getting a 'porn star union' started up might be hard, because as porno producers like to brag, there is always another kid, a real hard up kid. For this reason the solution might be to force those bastards to offer contracts whereby they must share a percentage of the gross with each and every single fucking one of their stars, and as for that ever growing collection of golden eggs being gathered like trophies by those filthy fucking porn producers, well I guess they will find themselves a little short on eggs. I say that they should be mandated by law to share a percentage of the gross because if such sleazy characters were mandated to share the profits they would be cooking books and fucking around with books and finding some other way to fuck over the porn stars.
