THE GRAVE OF JESUS AND FAMILY
By Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo
Anthropologist, Theologian, etc.
Rabbi Yeshua, Joshua, (Jesus Ben Yoseph) was born in the reign of Herod the Great, sometime between 8-4 BC and died somewhere between 25-29 AD. The gospels were written: 1st-Mark's between 65-72 AD, 2nd-Matthews, between then and about 80 AD, Luke's about late 80’s AD, John's in 92-110 AD.
Because the extant gospels were not written until 36-85 years after the death of Jesus, it is doubtful that any of the writers of the gospels ever met Jesus or even, with the later writers, ever met anyone who ever met Jesus.
None of the writers, Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, were apostles, in fact no one knows their real names. Those names were added to the gospels by early church authorities to lend credence to the writings. (This is information that can be found in most unbiased bibles, like the St. Joseph New American Version, found in most bookstores.) Although it is possible, but only barely, that Mark was the Mark who sometimes traveled with St. Paul. There is also strong evidence that the writers were not Hebrews, but Gentiles, because of the many errors in Hebrew culture displayed in the New Testament.
The earliest gospels extant are copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, are in Greek, and date to the late second to early third centuries. There have been about 5400 manuscripts representing gospels found over the last 1700 years; some are small fragments, some more than that, some are complete versions. Over the course of those 5400 versions of the New Testament, there are many differences, ranging from subtle edits, reactions, and changes to major story insertions or removals and later reinsertion's with and without changes.
There are also a great many errors of cultural and historical note. For one Quirinius mentioned as the governor who ordered the census, which forced Joseph and Mary (then pregnant with Jesus) to go to Bethlehem, has been found to be governor of Judea when Jesus was a teenager, so could not have ordered that census. There is great doubt among historians expert in the practicality of the Romans, that they would have instituted such an ineffective and unintelligent complexity of moving people around the country to “register” in their hometown. The Romans, if nothing else were not stupid and such a census was simply foolish, if it did happen. Moving an entire population around in that way would accomplish nothing and would have been useless for taxing purposes since people paid their taxes in the towns in which they lived, not the towns in which they were born but no longer live. If there were records of who was born where, the records would have been transferred, not the people, if necessary, but it was unnecessary back then when records were poorly kept if kept at all in smaller towns, which is an excellent reason for people to simply never go and register at all because no one would have been the wiser about their life, death or very existence.
The emphasis on Mary’s eternal virginity came about more than 300 years after her death and surfaced as dogma during Constantine's reign. The evidence of the mentions of Jesus' brothers and sisters being cousins is poor. Paul who spoke and wrote excellent Greek never used the word Anepsios, Greek for cousin, when referring to Jesus’ siblings, using instead the word Adelphos, Greek for brother, when speaking of Jesus’ Brothers, and most specifically when speaking of his brother St. James, Paul and other’s fluent in Greek referred to St. James as, “James the Just, the Brother of the Lord”, using the word Adelphos for Brother.”
Since we know little of Jesus’ life from ages 12-30, there is no evidence that he was not married, as we do know that some of the apostles were married and most probably all who worked were married.
In one of the Lost Gospels of the Nag Hammadi discovery in 1945 outside of that town, 3rd century monks had buried the Codex’s, more than 50 of them, because suddenly under the military dogma of the new convert, Emperor Constantine, only the “accepted” (canon) version of the New Testament were to be allowed to survive. The Monks, of a more democratic state of mind hid them hoping that after the reign of Constantine led by Athanasius’ purge of books, they could unearth their beloved gospels-it never was to be, not until 1945, some 700 hundred years later.
In correct translations, Jesus never stated that he was “The Only Begotten Son of God.” The term “son of man” was a common one to distinguish a man born out of woman by a man, was human neither an angel nor a demon. God used the term as a greeting to Ezekiel and others. It was never capitalized except in the New Testament and capitalized or not, it still means the same thing, a human being born of a man out of a woman, nothing more. For other uses, see Son of man.
The phrase son of man is a primarily Semitic idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to denote humanity or self.
In Akkadian, son of man is: ▪ ameluti
In Sumerian, son of man is: ▪ DUMU.LU.ULU.LU (?)
In Hebrew, son of man is either: ▪ בן אדם [ben 'adam] ▪ בן אנש [ben 'enosh]
In Aramaic, son of man due to spelling variants and morphological shifts is either: ▪ ברנש [barnash] ▪ ברנשא [barnasha'] ▪ בר נש [bar nash] ▪ בר נשא [bar nasha'] ▪ בר אנש [bar 'anash] ▪ בר אנוש [bar 'anowsh] ▪ בר אנשא [bar 'ansha'] ▪ ברה דאנשא [breh dansha'] ▪ (and a few others)
Ancient Semitic literature
The most common use is similar to that of the English word "human." For example:
1QapGen
1QapGen. XXI.13: MT שיא (Gen. 13.16)
ואשגה זרעך כעפר ארשא די לא ישכח בר אנוש לממדיה And I will multiply your seed like the dirt of the earth which no son of man (בר אנוש : [bar 'anowsh]) can count. (Aramaic)
In the Hebrew of Genesis 13:6, the word translated as בר אנוש (son of man) was איש (man).
Book of the Laws of the Countries
This is the oldest general discussion of mankind in the Aramaic language, and we can see that ברנשא bar nasha is used in a general form for humanity:
Bardaisan, The Book of the Laws of the Countries, p. 559, lines 11-14:
כינה דברנשא הנו דנתילד ונתרבא ודנקום באקמא ודנולד ודנקש כד אכל וכד שתא וכד דמך וכד מתתששעיר ודמות This is the nature of the son of man (דברנשא : [debarnasha']), that he should be born and grow up and reach is peak and reproduce and grow old, while eating and drinking and sleeping and waking, and that he should die.
Story of Haninah ben Dosa
Similarly we can see in the story of how Haninah ben Dosa was bitten by a snake while praying to God:
y. Ber 5. 1/26 (9a)
כד הוות נכית לבר נשא אין בר נשא קדים למיא חברברא מיית ואין חברברא קדטם למיא בר נשא מיית When it bites the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']), if the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']) reaches the water first, then snake dies; and if the snake reaches the water first, the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']) dies.
Here we see that it is not only a method for referring to mankind, but as a way to piously refer to oneself.
Here is a quote directly from a Hebrew translation of their Old Testament concerning the use of the word Almah which Christians use to describe Mary as virgin in the prophecy of Isaiah:
Judaism reads the verse in Isaiah 7:14 as:
"Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman [ha-almah] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanu-el". [1]
Judaism affirms that [ha-almah] ("young woman") does not refer to a virgin and that had the Tanakh intended to refer to such, the specific Hebrew word for virgin [bethulah] would have been used. This view is often disputed by Christians (see below), and has been a point of contention between Jews and Christians since the formation of the modern Church. Jerome, in 383 CE, wrote in "Adversus Helvidium" that Helvidius misunderstood just this same point of confusion between the Greek and the Hebrew.
To those of faith the words and deeds of the true Jesus, Mary need not be a virgin and Jesus need not be “The Only Begotten Son of God” for us to hold him in reverence any less then we hold Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Elias, Elijah, David, St. Jude, St. Francis, St. Teresa, or Mother Teresa. Paul felt the need to convert Greeks and other Gentiles who would accept nothing less than a god that the tact of elevating Jesus to the rank of God was born. In the 3rd century, the argument began about Jesus eternality and Godship, supported by Athanasius and opposed by Arius, whose assessment of the situation was more logical, and saw Jesus as Messiah, appointed to adopted son of God because of Jesus’ piety and courage.
Judeo/Christian views of property, bankruptcy and the Jubilee Year, were being trampled upon by conservative business men of the era, which bytheway was the real reason for Jesus’ hasty execution-he was reexamining Moses idea of socializing the land and the people. You probably know all this and it is on one of my upcoming books which shoots down the idea of religious persecution of Jesus. Everything is always about the money. The execution of Jesus by Rome and the Chief Herodian Priests, was no exception, and was not about theology. Religious Arguments far exceeding those of Jesus were always brewing in Israel among the argumentative rabbi’s. Jesus’ execution was as much about the money as it Bush’ attack on Iraq.
Funny how Americans accept socialization of government, of schools, police, fire departments, city services, the military, but of not necessary products like fuel, water, housing, medical care and other personal necessities? It is about the money, avarice, and contempt for the masses and for the God these fascists claim to serve-hypocrisy.
Moses deeded to each Judean Peasant a few acres of land as “Social Security” on which to grow enough food for the family and allow some excess to be sold. He wanted them healthy for many reasons, one being he might need them for combat. Both Romans and some Herodian officials were Practicing Fascism, before the term was defined and coined in modern times. They were confiscating land breaking the bankruptcy laws initiated by Moses. They were also commercializing the land, in violation of his ancient concept. They were also outsourcing labor to scabs and selling it to rich Greeks and Romans at prices out of the reach of peasant Jews. (Sound familiar?)
There was aside form the 7 years-bankruptcy forgiveness policy, I the 7th application of each 7 year’s of forgiveness of bankruptcy-the 50th year, was the JUBILEE YEAR or as Jesus called it, THE YEAR OF THE LORD, in which all land confiscated or bought for debt had to be returned to the family from which it was taken. The Romans, my rather brutal ancestors, rarely if ever crucified mere minor leaders alone. When they captured Spartacus they crucified him and 6,000 of his officers-mass execution was their means of ideas-nullification through forced attrition.
Among Jesus’ followers, none but he were executed. His speech on the portico after his attack on the profiteers there earlier in the day, sealed his fate. The turning point was his mention of the YEAR OF THE LORD disguise to mean THE JUBILEE YEAR in the New Testament. Apparently, some Herodian Priests were buying and commercializing land against Jewish Law, they hypocritically claimed they could own, but not work land. Therefore they had to get rid of Jesus before his next opportunity to speak, the next day or there might have been a riot turning the Zealots to assassination of Chief Herodian Priests instead of Romans. The Romans agreed with the idea of eliminating Jesus in a hurry because many lower level Roman officials were joined in the land commercialization scheme thus were “skimming’ on the take to Caesar, a no-no for sure. Rome would only tolerate corruption at the top.
The article in Time magazine referred to a Darrell Bock, a professor at the conservative Protestant Dallas Seminary, whom the Discovery Channel had review the film recently, asked a question which disqualifies him as an expert: “Why would Jesus’ family or followers bury his bones in a family plot and then turn around and preach that he had been physically raised from the dead?"
Why? If Block knew enough about Jesus he would have known that Jesus’ family and Apostles, save for James, His brother, who was assassinated, and Peter who was crucified, were ouster sized from any part in the later church by Paul and others who did not want the power of James The Just, Brother of The Lord’s huge following (8,000 parishioners at His Messianic Hebrew Church) which did not depict Jesus as “Son of God” but as messiah/prophet. In addition, apparently the burial secrecy worked, because it took 2000 years to uncover the switch. Jesus' family and only a few apostles were sparsely present in the Acts and other books, which followed the four gospels.
I am A Roman Catholic, descendant of both Duke Bagnolo, Leader of the Albigensian Heresy and St. John Leonardi, canonized Saint. My Grandfather was L. Onofrio Iuzzolino, visionary, Prophet and true Christian.
I WAS RECENTLY ASKED IF I BELIEVE IN GOD, I SAID, "NO!"
THE FELLOW WHO ASKED SAID, "SO, YOU ARE AN ATHEIST?"
TO THAT I ALSO SAID, "NO!"
"WHY NOT?" HE ASKED.
I REPLIED, "BELIEF , INDICATES SOME DOUBT, ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF GOD, I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS EXISTENCE. I HAVE SEEN THE PROOF OF IT, AND HIS MIRACLES THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. HE HAS AT TIMES ALLOWED ME TO READ HIS MIND, AND THUS PASS SOME OF HIS PROPHECIES ON TO HUMANS HERE ON EARTH, IN UNWAVERING ACCURACY THOUGH DREAMS, VISIONS, MIRACLES AND INFALABLE PREDICTIONS."

THE GREAT ADULT MOSQUITO SPRAYING SCAM?
Many communities lacking well-informed, properly educated citizens and employees on the mosquito control issue, have fallen into the trap of spending unwisely and possibly placing their constituents in grave physical danger. According to reports, it is alleged that the surest means of eradicating mosquitoes, if they are a radical health danger, which they are allegedly not always, is to seed standing water, ponds, leaf and wood chip piles and other mosquito dwelling places, with bacilli, sterile male populations, oil-water cover, and natural Pyrethrum; all of which kill larvae effectively.
Spraying for adult mosquitoes is reported to be widely ineffective, killing less than 1% to 7% of adult mosquitoes. Moreover, it poses grave threats to health and ultimately to life, even among humans. There also appears to be no public assessment by unbiased medical toxicologists as to what the tolerance level of individuals is for such toxins. Increasing the dosage of the adult mosquito killing toxins would probably make them more dangerous to humans than they are already. Moreover, it is said that, after a time, the mosquitoes become immune to the toxic poisons used to kill them, while humans only become more vulnerable to them.
It has not been publicly advertised or to our knowledge investigated: If or whether the chemicals used in spraying for adult mosquitoes interferes with medications people may be taking; or if the chemicals may cause adverse drug interactions; nor if they may pose extreme health hazards to certain people with allergies and other afflictions; nor if these chemicals represent, in addition to certain immediate symptoms, (which some victims may not recognize as resulting from pesticide applications), certain long term mental, body-health altering lifetime illnesses; nor has advertising or public information been delivered concerning the effectiveness of applications for adult mosquitoes and/or the personal dangers and symptoms that may result from applications for adult mosquito spraying; nor has the public been informed of the odds against being infected by each disease the pesticide companies claim to be carried by mosquitoes since 1999 in Northern Illinois, or the number of deaths since nationally state by state. One wonders what the medical profession has to say about the above and when they will begin to look into the problems cited here.
If public information is accurate, in 8 years, 670 have died nationally. Of a population of 320,000,000 x 8 years, that is less than 84 deaths nationally a year for the entire nation. That is considerably less than the number which have been afflicted or died of asthma and a number of other ailments, nor has spraying for adult mosquito populations changed that, nor have those who profit from it informed the citizenry, town by town, state by state, why they risk making tens of thousands ill from pesticide spraying for Live Adult mosquitoes. Are they guilty of using fear tactics to panic some communities into spraying for Live Adult mosquitoes and not mentioning such small numbers of deaths and the generally mild nature of some of the diseases known to be associated with mosquitoes in Northwestern Illinois and the risky side effects of spraying? For instance, those profiting have not proved to have effectively reduced mosquito populations by spraying for adult mosquitoes, nor ever refrained voluntarily from spraying in communities where the odds are even greater against anyone dying or even becoming seriously ill than the national odds.
In Illinois in 2003, one person died of West Nile making the chances of dying of West Nile that year greater than 15,000,000 to 1. In 2003, the epicenter of the disease has moved west with most cases appearing in western states. Why, then must 15,000,000 in Illinois be placed at risk because one person died in 2003? The answer $$$$$, there is lots of it in spraying for adult mosquitoes and more when chemicals rather than natural sources are used, and even more when the companies spraying makes their own chemical, witch's brew.
Since it has been alleged that pesticides are heavily implicated in breast and ovarian cancer among women, and pesticides are alleged to be implicated, in the proliferation of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, and that perhaps spraying for adult mosquitoes is, by and large, ineffective, killing less than 1%-7% of adult mosquitoes at each spraying, after which it is alleged that the adult mosquito population then increases exponentially), and that the products in use appear to affect and cause a variety of human negative reactions and that a number of communities of well-informed government officials, who truly care about their constituency, rather than merely as tax-cash-cows, seeing this information have discontinued spraying for adult mosquitoes completely.
It has been alleged that spraying for Adult Mosquitoes, is primarily a profit-making venture and no more than a cosmetic, placebo, gesture, and if so, is therefore unnecessary and preys upon the weaknesses and fears of those not properly informed to make sufficiently well informed decisions about such matters.
Since drug application by the oath and law of those administering drugs, weigh the benefits against the dangers, it is our contention that such has not been done in the case of spraying for adult mosquitoes and if it were there would be no spraying for Adult Mosquitoes and that therefore citizens cannot make an informed and safe decision about such matters. Present your local mosquito control board with FOIA requests if your state has such measures, otherwise petition municiple or county authorities for contact information about those who are getting ill from the spraying, contact those people and form a powerful voice of reason in stopping the useless contamination of water, air and human vessels with pesticides.
The inducement of fear, found so effective by the current administration in Washington to selling scams to the severely, poorly informed public, continues to be a factor in selling every kind of snake oil for every single poorly perceived and worsely researched fraudulent End-of-Days, scenario. Is it now true, as some are claiming, that in the last five years Europeans and the Chinese have surpassed Americans as the best educated and unformed citizens on the planet? Well, at least more so than 54,000,000 who voted for the current Anti-Christs and his followers here and in Great Brition and in the low art of panic-peddling.
PS-While we invite knowledgeable persons who do not work for or are associated with pesticide companies to post non-toxic comments, we are certain that negative comments concerning this blog will appear and past experience has taught us that such comments are usually from those who may profit from use of such chemicals or of uniformed sycophants and puppets of same.

THE GREAT SS PRIVATIZATION SCAM/PORKBARREL
The planned destruction of FDR’s legacy, Social Security, through Privatization is yet another Corporate-Welfare scam. More than 90% of those who play the stock market lose money, those who need it most would be prime targets for wealth draining frauds and most of the rest would lose money in the market.
The government would be better served by signing everyone up at a gambling casino. The efforts of the Harding -Coolidge-Hoover era to turn America into a feudal economy seem in great danger of finally succeeding, in the absence of FDR.
"Privatization" is merely a scheme to grant windfall profits to brokerage houses and Mutual Funds through transfer fees, management fees and trading fees. If we can spend a trillion dollars on a war, we can invest the same amount in free medical coverage for every living soul in America. The money can be earned by heavily taxing companies that “outsource” and granting tax credits to those which have the best salaries and benefits. If all companies have the same outcome/income, the playing field will be even for all. Outsourcing is a form of betrayal of the American worker, which weakens the family and therefore the nation-it is thus a subtle form of treason.
At the root of the outsourcing, the attempts to scuttle Social Security and medical benefits, the introduction of toxic chemicals in everything we eat, drink the air we breathe, the products we buy, is a planned obsolescence of …. American Workers and their families.
It is a monstrous and treasonous selling out of God’s people to the avaricious. It is a massive plan to kill-off, at an early age, those who earn wages, press those who survive into a military which will take part in eternal warfare ala George Orwell’s Prophetic book 1984, and since few will be able to survive either toxins or war, they will die young neither needing Medicare nor pensions. Is this the legacy of the hypocritically and blasphemously named “Christian Right”? If so, of them, Jesus would say, "Get thee to Gehenna-Thou pawns of the avaricious rich and usurpers of My Name!"
Social Security should have been bolstered by the 5-6 trillion dollar surplus, which, instead, this administration has plundered and fed to their war machine-contractors and the wealthy.
I say, in response to the Orwellian reality facing the greater part of the population, we join to LOWER the retirement age to 55 and TRIPLE the benefits by taxing what is needed from corporations which outsource, Arms Dealers and the salaries of anyone making over $1.5 million a year in salary and benefits, at the same time, reducing CEO income to less than 25 times the average of individual Social Security income.

A QUESTION FOR MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Are the Homerun records really the result of steroid drugs?
Or does it have more to do with mechanics of the game like ball/strike calls which are far worse and more frequent in the Big Leagues than they were in my decades of lower level Organized Baseball?
One thing is clear, only a fool or a blind man would have trouble understanding the simplicity of strike-zone architecture, perimeters/parameters.
More interesting is trying to deduce a reason for the bad calls. First, it is important to note that there are only a few reasons for frequent bad calls: incompetence, error, or planned. I eliminated incompetence as the cause, because the solutions to that are simple and straightforward-re-educate, retrain, or fire the incompetents. I also ruled out calls made in error because when the bad calls are made they are made consistently throughout a game or series.
In my studies they favored the home team 5.6-2.25. This could be interpreted as trying to patronize and encourage the hometown fans fraudulently in an effort to boost revenue, especially because revenue sharing is being resisted by the union.
Steroids can make a person stronger, but they cannot help a person hit major league pitching more squarely or with greater frequency, nor can they help a pitcher place his pitches on demand, on the spot more often ( a t hing once known as "control", now called ”command”). However, a livelier baseball can cause a hitter to exceed the old record for homeruns by 21.7% and increase his home run frequency from one homerun each 21+ at bats to 1 every 6.5 at bats-(Barry Bonds), without any need for “performance enhancing drugs”.
Is there a formula built-in which allows for umpires exceptions to an apparent prejudice in favor of the home team, such as for or against players in the League or team doghouse, (Was Sammy Sosa thus singled out?) or for players who are “Hot” or teams in financial/attendance trouble. If what I am theorizing is true, then that would explain why the league refuses to use an electronic strike zone to call pitches. Doing so might well remove game outcome control from the league. (although, as we have seen, electronic devices can be rigged or hacked). Meanwhile people blame the umpires, who it would seem, appear to never get fired for incompetence-if my theory is correct, they cannot be fired or the “Outcome Manipulation” concept, might be exposed by the fired umpires.
The sharp increase in power numbers is due far more to the liveliness of the SuperBall-baseball, the increase in teams in the leagues, thus dilution of available talent, and the lowering of pitching mounds.
The emphasis upon attacking the players for steroid use is a smoke screen hiding the real fraud and the need for an asterisk covering the following periods: 1961, 1987, 1991, 1994-2006 all of which were tied to an earlier core of sinking or growing revenues. The above 45 year era was initiated when owners became aware of the mortality of the game because of several strikes, historical past, sagging revenue and burgeoning salaries-salaries which were originally bid up by owners.
Thus, if my theoretical evidence is correct, the major cause of player performance enhancement is not drugs, but owner/league outcome manipulation of games, managers and players in an effort to boost fan participation and revenue.
Neo-Con businesses often bring surreptitious corruption to whatever they undertake-witness the Bhopal disaster, the No-Bid contract corruption in Iraq, the oil prices in America at $3.00+ a gallon while in Iraq before the war prices were $00.05 a gallon (5 cents a gallon) right now in Venezuela right now 12 cents a gallon, Iraq, 15 cents a gallon, witness the war in Iraq and the number of Neo-fascist/Neo-con businessmen and politicians under indictment and that is all just the tip of the iceberg.
In baseball, like all other avarice-based ventures, the employees always carry the burden of the blame-they are always slandered as bums who take drugs and “impugn the integrity of the game”. Non-living, non-human things like sports, corporations, and other organizations, do not have integrity. Integrity is a human quality, not a corporate one, of which only living creatures with conscience and intelligence people are so endowed.

PROPHETIC DREAM
EXERPTS FROM EMAIL NEWSLETTER FROM
12/19/04
PETE BAGNOLO, HERE.
“Last night I had a very odd dream-I hope it was just that. You may recall that the week before the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, which occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) on December 26, 2004, I wrote about a nightmare in which I was diving off the porch of a hotel, which was no longer a distance from the ocean but at the edge of a beach. I dove from the 2nd or 3rd story porch straight into the water and breast-stroked for the depth, deeper and deeper I stroked. The water was a light olive green and the sun was lighting it up and as I swam deeper I began to see bits of debris bubbling by me, wood chips, bits of cloth and then larger items beach chairs, bits of furniture, but the more I stroked down, the more I began to realize that the water was much deeper* than I had expected. I tried to turn back to the surface but an enormous underwater tide was churning the water, preventing me from turning, I was being twirled and sucked downward out of control, making underwater somersaults. For the first time in my life I was unable to overcome water. I thought that I would drown because I was powerless to turn back to the surface and my deep breath of air was expiring rapidly, and prayed and also asked my mother to help me, flailing and stroking in vain, my prayer went up, “HELP, MOM, I AM DROWNING!”, Linda woke me up and said I was doing breast strokes in bed and yelling for my mom and my guardian angel. I told a relative about the dream and she said she’d had a similar dream the same night-same description of the hotel, but she gathered her kids and ran to my room down the hall where a light was on inside and she saw me under the light and then she said she felt safe as the door slammed shut a the wave went over the hotel but we were unharmed. No one else in the hotel was alive. A week or so later the Tsunami struck. The images of that dream are as vibrant today as almost two years ago. We saw a duplicate of that hotel on TV in the Tsunami reporting more than a week later.
EMAIL OF 6/05/06
“The dream I had last night was not as devastating as the other in 2004, but the water was the same olive green color, the debris was the same, but limited to wood chips and bits of cloth-, and in this one I was not drowning but nonetheless concerned as I swam and did awake as from a nightmare-I had the sleeve of my tee-shirt in my mouth when I woke up, in the dream it was a bit of colored cloth which whipped by and caught in my teeth. The dream was not as vivid, so it may have simply been the bit of Prosciuto and Provolone sandwich we had as a late dinner, or maybe there is some other explanation, maybe it is a premonition of a storm not quite as bad. I am unable to decipher it, maybe because there is nothing to it because it did not strike me as strongly.
Let’s see what happens, I am at a loss to explain .
Pete
* This had happened once before in real life about a mile off-shore in Miami beach outside of my hotel, when swimming with my cousin Bobby who lived in Boca Raton. We were searching for a sandbar and I made three dives to find it, on the third dive, or more than 20 odd feet down, I dug up a handful of sand from the bottom, came back and showed it to Bobby and as he and I tread water discussing where the bar which he had promised had gone to, he was facing the beach and I the ocean’s horizon, I saw pretty far off circling shark fins so I told him and we turned and raced to shore. I think we set a world record, I hit the beach scraping my chest and forehead about fifty yards ahead of him. I looked out and still saw the fins-they hadn’t even noticed us, thank God. We fell on the beach laughing (I was 18 years old. What did I know?)

I HAD THIS DREAM.../LETTERS TO & FROM TOM ENGLEHARDT
Friday, June 09, 2006
I HAD THIS DREAM...
I had a dream and it may come true. It was about America-America, with tanks in her streets, rolling by my house, bumper-to-bumper. They weren’t looking for Terrorists, they were looking for dissidents. Corporate Mercenaries not American soldiers were driving them, they were bounty-hunting Americans who supported candidates which wanted to make the BILL OF RIGHTS and the CONSTITUTION unassailable by any newer law, and to reject the PATRIOT ACT, and to pass legislation granting large tax incentives to corporations hiring American workers with full benefits for their families, maintaining the traditional American Standard of living. Doing otherwise weakens Americans and therefore America, and is thus treasonous and also because …we are a nation of the people, by the people and for the people…which shall not perish from this Earth….
When Lincoln said the above, he was echoing something the entire world cherished-a nation of knights in shining armour-knights full of honor, chivalry, truly men of Justice-men of God without billboards announcing their self-declared sainthood. We are not a nation of the corporation, by the corporation and for the corporation.
I dreamt the mercenaries (Who were allegedly present in the aftermath of the Katrina disaster to keep order and, according to reports and interviews with the mercenaries, they were granted 007 lethal force and arrest authority, as I predicted a year before in my newsletter and to columnist Tom Engelhardt, and about which he wrote. (Not about my dream but about the mercenaries. See attached letters exchanged on the matter below.)
However, in my dream, the arrival of the mercenaries had a far more sinister meaning. In the dream it appeared that Neo-fascists took control and feared losing the 2006 elections and were trying to convince the administration to impede dissident voters and activists, or stage a terrorist attack or threat, declare Marshall Law, cancel the elections in 2006 and 2008 and take over as dictator seize and sell off the assets of American citizens. In the dream the mercenaries would then begin assassinating dissidents, writers, actors, artists, and America would become a lawless Vigilante nation where men killed with impunity where bombings occured daily and the Hell that the Administration brought to Iraq, would be brought home, destroying any who opposed their delusion of messiahship. America would become the South of the Post-civil war era and the Iraq of today. Toward the end of the dream the angel who was moderating it pointed WASHINGTON DC and declared in a loud voice, "Yonder sits the Anti-Christ, because good men do nothing while fascists steal Democracy from them and their descendants!"
We prayed for many years for the conversion of Russia and it finally happened. Please now Pray that good men and women in both parties support those who reject avarice and fascism and that those of such prayerful mind win election in 2006/2008. Pray also for the conversion of those Americans who wish to destroy that which all that good men and women of both parties cherish. Pray that all of our freedoms, our Sacred Constitution and Bill of Rights, and our inclusionary love of our fellow creatures, freedom of religion, freedom of the press unfettered by corporate interests, freedom regardless of race, gender or political belief, and to defend our Sacred writ, prepared at the inspiration of God, by our Forefathers, in Philadelphia 220+ years ago are reinstated and preserved forever.
Post Note: Once more for the record as per my now defunct newsletters said in April, May: the Duke U. Lacrosse team: Not Guilty, fraud. Prosecutor will be found to be framing Duke players, holding back exonerating evidence, wants to run for higher office. God will strike him. Lose job, be disbarred, maybe criminally prosecuted and sued. Boys innocent, Matter will be decided before Summer-June 21st 2007.

WISDOM INSPIRED BY JESUS
Tuesday, July 25, 2006
WISDOM INSPIRED BY JESUS
1)-In 2004, freedom lovers found that 34 percent of Americans questioned, said, "The federal government has become so large and overarching, that it poses an immediate threat to the Constitution and The Bill Of Rights and is attempting to intimidate ordinary, dissident, American citizens." Freedom lovers could not believe it, so they removed the word "immediate" and resubmitted the question. This time 77 percent of Americans asked agreed with the statement.
1A)-On both sides of either major ocean, it is only a little overstated to say that we preach individualism and competitive capitalism, and practice No-Bid contracting and perversion of Free enterprise.
2)-February 25, 1913, an Amendment, XVI was added to the U.S. Constitution, which authorized Congress to levy income taxes on citizens to pay for the operations of government. That year income taxes ranged from 1% on incomes of $20,000 to 6% on incomes above $500,000, and the highest total tax was about 7%. Now, 86 years later, the average individual pays nearly 50% of his or her income in taxes of one form or another. The federal income tax is only half the penalty as we all know there are myriad other taxes, daily, weekly monthly, annually and the vast majority of those taxes are paid by those in the lowest income groups. All taxes combined should range from a flat 10% of anyone making over $125,000 per year, to a flat 99% of anyone making over $1.5 million per year, with no deductions other than medical ones.
3)-America’s tax laws undermine the country's prosperity by not imposing strong enough or harsh enough penalties on blind, unbridled, ambition and avarice-the only evils that God, the prophets and Jesus are unwilling to mitigate. Although many taxpayers face mandatory tax rates and often must pay more than federal taxes on the same income, the wealthy politicians and industrialists can take advantage of special deductions, credits, preferences, shelters, and loopholes to minimize their tax liability. The result of this double standard is a tax system that does not recognize virtue, but instead recognizes avarice-greed, as worthy of reward. This thinking must be changed by application of the words of wise prophets and statesmen. We must understand that avarice is a mentally and physically debilitating and apparently contagious disease, and those found practicing it must be penalized and if out of hand, like those giving and accepting no-bid contracts, must be placed where their Blind Avaristic Ambitions can do no harm to anyone, including themselves. Our national and tax laws penalize virtuous behavior, reward anti-social avarice and also violates the fundamental constitutional principle of equal treatment under the law, wherein the highest laws of God punish anti-social avarice and reward virtuous behavior." There are two areas in which unlimited profit must be rewarded and rewarded well-that is on luxury items-on those let Americans make as much as their greedy hearts desire, and may God bless them in the effort. The other is through obvious giftedness of, the intellect (teachers of high intelligence), in all of the arts, and in sports, because these are gifts from God, while greed is a damning gift from Satan, the one gift horse into which mouth men should look.
4)-The Governing have violated our most sacred constitutional principle of equal and fair treatment under the law by arbitrarily implementing policies of taxation that are unequal, unfair and overbearing. They impose heavy penalties on the working class and reward those which are most avaricious, when it should be claiming immense portions from the income of the sinful and evilly avaristic. Our Government is seizing nearly one half of the individual income of the working class, while mere pennies on the millions of dollars are being claimed from the avariciously wealthy. Although a mandatory tax is needed to fund the operations of government, we believe that the existing governing bodies should cap out any individual’s income at $1,500,000 annually and incomes below $125,000 annually should be taxed at a flat 10% excluding medical costs, and the tax on avarice should escalate to 99% on any income above $1.5 Million annually. That is certainly fair. We believe that the present burden on the working class amounts to nationally enforced slavery, and must be eliminated in a nation of God, and that virtue must be rewarded and avarice punished as severely as murder and rape, for it is the only evil of which God, His prophets and Jesus offer no mitigation."
5)-Most families pays taxes on their income. They save some of their after-tax income into the form of stocks, bonds, capital gains, and dividends and interest, and the corporation pays corporate taxes (on behalf of the family as a shareholder.) Then most families pay taxes again when they receive dividends or capital gains. When a family is lucky enough to save even a few thousand dollars a year and leave a taxable estate, the savings are taxed again. American families should be enabled to become corporations and entitled to all the write-offs for all its needs to function and prosper. Only then can it accrue wealth like a corporation. As it now stands the family pays the burden of taxes for the rich and avaricious AND for the corporations of the rich/avaricious no-bid contractors. Therefore, both the rich and avaricious and their corporations can prosper in billions while the American family is most often is crushed financially unto death.
6)-“Socialized medicine” is a catchword of the avaricious who want the poor and middle class to continue to pay their way and that of the rich/avaricious billionaires who receive “Socialized No-Bid Contracts”. Do we call our tax supported Military, “Socialized Military?” Do we call our tax supported Police and firefighters, “Socialized Police” and “Socialized Fire fighters”? Do we call our tax-supported schools, “Socialized schools”? Do we call no-bid contracts to contractors in Iraq and New Orleans, "Socialized Pork-Barreling No-Bid Contractors"?
In any event, the costs of ordinary medical care are well out of the reach of 47,000,000 Americans. Private insurance arrangements are financially unaffordable to meet the contingency of unusually large medical expenses for another 20,000,000 Americans. The Fastest-growing segment of bankruptcies in America is from Medical debt for millions of Americans. The insensitive comment that 90 percent of all hospital bills are paid through third-party payments does not reveal that 67,000,000 have no third party payments available to them.
7)-Milton Friedman, supposedly said, “Direct government spending is less than 15 percent of national income in Hong Kong versus 40 percent in the United States. Indirect government spending via regulations and mandates on private individuals and businesses is negligible in Hong Kong but accounts for around 10 percent of national income in the United States." He apparently was unaware that Hong Kong has no army, navy, Marine Corps, or No-Bid contractors to support and that what law enforcement they do have is subsidized by main-land China, and in the past, in Friedman's day, supported by Great Britain and in a pinch by the USA.
8)-Some say that Social Security is a big problem. At its current rate, it is the highest tax for 70% of taxpaying households. Today, Social Security and Medicare alone cost younger employees a tax rate of 7.65%, higher than what millionaires paid when the income tax was born in 1913. Note: The payroll tax rate for Social Security and Medicare is 15.3%, for the employers are justifiably requested to match what their employee’s pay. Therefore, I say End Social Security as it is presently funded, by taxing at 99% everyone making over 25 times the now average Social Security income of those now receiving such income and pay out the 99% to retired people making under 25 times the current average Social Security income check as a quarterly bonus.
9)-There should be capital Punishment for only two things: being a Lobbyist and taking money from one.
10)-The abandonment of self-restraint in the present administration has ignited an explosion of multimillion and multi-billion dollar NO-BID contracts and a tearing down of our freedom, and our sacred Bill of Rights and Constitution. The number of pork-barreling U.S. government contractors has burgeoned since 2001. It is down this road that nations go from freedom to being spied upon, to being tyrannized from within by their own government."
1A)-On both sides of either major ocean, it is only a little overstated to say that we preach individualism and competitive capitalism, and practice No-Bid contracting and perversion of Free enterprise.
2)-February 25, 1913, an Amendment, XVI was added to the U.S. Constitution, which authorized Congress to levy income taxes on citizens to pay for the operations of government. That year income taxes ranged from 1% on incomes of $20,000 to 6% on incomes above $500,000, and the highest total tax was about 7%. Now, 86 years later, the average individual pays nearly 50% of his or her income in taxes of one form or another. The federal income tax is only half the penalty as we all know there are myriad other taxes, daily, weekly monthly, annually and the vast majority of those taxes are paid by those in the lowest income groups. All taxes combined should range from a flat 10% of anyone making over $125,000 per year, to a flat 99% of anyone making over $1.5 million per year, with no deductions other than medical ones.
3)-America’s tax laws undermine the country's prosperity by not imposing strong enough or harsh enough penalties on blind, unbridled, ambition and avarice-the only evils that God, the prophets and Jesus are unwilling to mitigate. Although many taxpayers face mandatory tax rates and often must pay more than federal taxes on the same income, the wealthy politicians and industrialists can take advantage of special deductions, credits, preferences, shelters, and loopholes to minimize their tax liability. The result of this double standard is a tax system that does not recognize virtue, but instead recognizes avarice-greed, as worthy of reward. This thinking must be changed by application of the words of wise prophets and statesmen. We must understand that avarice is a mentally and physically debilitating and apparently contagious disease, and those found practicing it must be penalized and if out of hand, like those giving and accepting no-bid contracts, must be placed where their Blind Avaristic Ambitions can do no harm to anyone, including themselves. Our national and tax laws penalize virtuous behavior, reward anti-social avarice and also violates the fundamental constitutional principle of equal treatment under the law, wherein the highest laws of God punish anti-social avarice and reward virtuous behavior." There are two areas in which unlimited profit must be rewarded and rewarded well-that is on luxury items-on those let Americans make as much as their greedy hearts desire, and may God bless them in the effort. The other is through obvious giftedness of, the intellect (teachers of high intelligence), in all of the arts, and in sports, because these are gifts from God, while greed is a damning gift from Satan, the one gift horse into which mouth men should look.
4)-The Governing have violated our most sacred constitutional principle of equal and fair treatment under the law by arbitrarily implementing policies of taxation that are unequal, unfair and overbearing. They impose heavy penalties on the working class and reward those which are most avaricious, when it should be claiming immense portions from the income of the sinful and evilly avaristic. Our Government is seizing nearly one half of the individual income of the working class, while mere pennies on the millions of dollars are being claimed from the avariciously wealthy. Although a mandatory tax is needed to fund the operations of government, we believe that the existing governing bodies should cap out any individual’s income at $1,500,000 annually and incomes below $125,000 annually should be taxed at a flat 10% excluding medical costs, and the tax on avarice should escalate to 99% on any income above $1.5 Million annually. That is certainly fair. We believe that the present burden on the working class amounts to nationally enforced slavery, and must be eliminated in a nation of God, and that virtue must be rewarded and avarice punished as severely as murder and rape, for it is the only evil of which God, His prophets and Jesus offer no mitigation."
5)-Most families pays taxes on their income. They save some of their after-tax income into the form of stocks, bonds, capital gains, and dividends and interest, and the corporation pays corporate taxes (on behalf of the family as a shareholder.) Then most families pay taxes again when they receive dividends or capital gains. When a family is lucky enough to save even a few thousand dollars a year and leave a taxable estate, the savings are taxed again. American families should be enabled to become corporations and entitled to all the write-offs for all its needs to function and prosper. Only then can it accrue wealth like a corporation. As it now stands the family pays the burden of taxes for the rich and avaricious AND for the corporations of the rich/avaricious no-bid contractors. Therefore, both the rich and avaricious and their corporations can prosper in billions while the American family is most often is crushed financially unto death.
6)-“Socialized medicine” is a catchword of the avaricious who want the poor and middle class to continue to pay their way and that of the rich/avaricious billionaires who receive “Socialized No-Bid Contracts”. Do we call our tax supported Military, “Socialized Military?” Do we call our tax supported Police and firefighters, “Socialized Police” and “Socialized Fire fighters”? Do we call our tax-supported schools, “Socialized schools”? Do we call no-bid contracts to contractors in Iraq and New Orleans, "Socialized Pork-Barreling No-Bid Contractors"?
In any event, the costs of ordinary medical care are well out of the reach of 47,000,000 Americans. Private insurance arrangements are financially unaffordable to meet the contingency of unusually large medical expenses for another 20,000,000 Americans. The Fastest-growing segment of bankruptcies in America is from Medical debt for millions of Americans. The insensitive comment that 90 percent of all hospital bills are paid through third-party payments does not reveal that 67,000,000 have no third party payments available to them.
7)-Milton Friedman, supposedly said, “Direct government spending is less than 15 percent of national income in Hong Kong versus 40 percent in the United States. Indirect government spending via regulations and mandates on private individuals and businesses is negligible in Hong Kong but accounts for around 10 percent of national income in the United States." He apparently was unaware that Hong Kong has no army, navy, Marine Corps, or No-Bid contractors to support and that what law enforcement they do have is subsidized by main-land China, and in the past, in Friedman's day, supported by Great Britain and in a pinch by the USA.
8)-Some say that Social Security is a big problem. At its current rate, it is the highest tax for 70% of taxpaying households. Today, Social Security and Medicare alone cost younger employees a tax rate of 7.65%, higher than what millionaires paid when the income tax was born in 1913. Note: The payroll tax rate for Social Security and Medicare is 15.3%, for the employers are justifiably requested to match what their employee’s pay. Therefore, I say End Social Security as it is presently funded, by taxing at 99% everyone making over 25 times the now average Social Security income of those now receiving such income and pay out the 99% to retired people making under 25 times the current average Social Security income check as a quarterly bonus.
9)-There should be capital Punishment for only two things: being a Lobbyist and taking money from one.
10)-The abandonment of self-restraint in the present administration has ignited an explosion of multimillion and multi-billion dollar NO-BID contracts and a tearing down of our freedom, and our sacred Bill of Rights and Constitution. The number of pork-barreling U.S. government contractors has burgeoned since 2001. It is down this road that nations go from freedom to being spied upon, to being tyrannized from within by their own government."
MY PREDICTION OF CHENEY’S INDICTMENT

MY PREDICTION OF CHENEY’S INDICTMENT
Recall, I predicted four years ago and several times since, and then last time in late winter/early spring, 2006 that Cheney and Rove would be indicted. Rove’s indictment was reported a few months ago and then dropped, according to news reports.
It is my belief that the indictment was not ‘dropped’ but sealed for the last three months and there can be a few reasons why this has happened, but the reason foremost on my agenda is that Rove’s indictment is sealed because he is cooperating in the Cheney investigation. If that fails he may still be indicted, but I believe that Rove made a plea bargain to avoid a trial and conviction. Look for a Cheney indictment in the not-so-distant future.

FLAG BURNING HYPOCRISY

FLAG BURNING HYPOCRISY
There is Katrina, still a disaster, there is still Viet N-, err Iraq, I mean, there are tens of millions of people, most of which are children and the poor, without health insurance, there is outsourcing of jobs to Asians, while Americans starve, there are benefit cutting, downsizing and the destruction of the Bankruptcy Act which was originally designed by God and given to Moses, in Torah, and then, perhaps worst of all, there is The Patriot Act-which is a subversion of our national heritage, of our Constitution and Bill of Rights-sacred documents designed by an act of God, through men-our forefathers.
Flag burning does not indicate disgust with our Constitution and Bill of Rights, or the rejection of our national values as designed by our Forefathers, it represents a disgust with the despicable actions of those who have attacked our Sacred National Documents, the Fascists who have kidnapped the Republican Party and designed the Patriot Act, and the spineless Democrats who voted with them and for it. Although I disagree with such antics, flag burning is an act of protest against the actions of men lacking consciences. I more disagree with the acceptance of treason in the form of the Patriot Act.
Rather than create a law to punish pranksters, who burn the flag, we should create a law which imposes heavy criminal sentences upon anyone who even suggests altering our perfect and sacred Constitution and/or Bill of Rights, especially against such despicable legislation as the Patriot Act, which is a crime against God and country-an act of treason. Here is my suggestion: repeal the worst idea since the abolition of alcohol-that of the treasonous Patriot Act. We should make it a crime to even suggest anything which contradicts our Sacred Documents or is sold as enhancing them-nothing can enhance them because they were inspired by God Almighty.
Down with flag burning laws, up with punishment of those who accept the Patriot Act and anything like it. Repeal the Patriot Act and reject fascism-we had enough of fascism from Germany during World War Two.

A NEW FOCUS ON A LOST REALITY
Thursday, October 05, 2006
A NEW FOCUS ON A LOST REALITY
I worked at this place once. Well, I’m getting ahead of myself, so, bear with me. Even into my middle aged passages I was naïve’, thinking that if you exposed corruption it would end. The 1940’s movies I saw as a child, thoroughly corrupted my expectations, because there in 60-90 minutes the heroes would solve personality, love, technical and/or world problems. I thought that was how things worked in the real world.
Anyway my Grandfather said, “If you offer a logical and intelligent solution to a major problem, and the recipient of your solution treats it with ridicule or hostility, or offers you a perk of some sort, forget the solution-the fix is in, corruption is underlying, money is passing from one bank account to a strong box, Pick up your toys and run don’t trot, away.
Therefore, back to, “I worked at this place once,” and the guys who ran it were slowly killing people with chemicals-cleaning solvents, all sorts of toxic crap. I brought the solution (no pun) to their attention, actually based on deep research, I solved the problem at less than 50% of the cost they now had. They first offered the panacea, graft, to forget what I knew, then when refused, they attacked me and my supporters in every way possible, including framing, discrediting, slanders, questioning my sanity, etc. I won every battle despite the overwhelming odds, lawyers, herds of not-so-bright supporters, approval seeking sycophants, and those who shared in the graft. More and more the chemicals they were using came under scrutiny of the FDA and a few were banned. This brought additional pressure on them. It was alleged that they had bought everyone they could and my inquiries and subsequent events forced them to buy more supporters just to shut them up. It was further alleged that soon the problems which had been in place through three management changes, and the loot were wearing thin and could not cover all those who needed to be bought off, so their corrupt practices ended and they used my solutions sans crediting my authorship.
I recognized that my premonitions were not simply a battle against corruption and avarice of that place and time, but were cosmic reincarnation of the entirety of the events of the 1930’s and 1940’s which would return and sweep across the planet, emanating from the nation which defeated the Axis Powers-The USA which was once the White Knight of Justice, the one bright spot in the world, would become what they had destroyed. Therefore, I began to write and talk about that but until 2002, no one of my audience got it. Now many of them do. Life on Earth is an ancient Cosmic war-the Hindu’s were/are right. The Unenlightened, will always outnumber the Enlightened, because most the Enlightened move on and it takes eons and many lifetimes (1,000, according to the Hebrew God of the Old Testament) to attain and comprehend Enlightenment, as God intended. Purgatory and Hell are here on Earth, made by fools, by whose actions and words, have caused us all to suffer. That is the greatest pain for the Enlightened-living through what they knew from the beginning, could have been avoided, but few would heed their warnings. .
Now, with the final realization of my decades long battles, my long premonition, slow as I was to grasp it is meaning, I understood that the cosmic crisis would play out by/for each person individually, in one lifetime or another, until finally, they would either get it or run out of time-they would eventually either fail or succeed. They would know that the stupidity and idiocy of Homo-sapiens, would focus on Satan’s supplanting of the most important thing Jesus’ ever experienced, the all-important Rejection of the Temptation in the Wilderness, replacing it with the emphasis upon sexual behavior-a Satanic transubstantiation, thus perverting the most important message of God, which is the avoidance of shameless self-promotion, of the chase after dynastic wealth and the greatest evil which gives rise to, and underlies, all the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Commandments, the Evil of Avarice. Instead replacing it with a focus on sexual behavior, (thus demeaning one of God’s gifts to humankind), and in one stroke both destroying that gift and ignoring the constant warnings of God against Avarice.
Human sexuality was not merely a gift of great joy, a slice of heaven, but also the reliever of self-doubt, and stress. In its absence men used to prove their worth, attempts at material, financial success. This in the face of the truth that the only thing of value a man possesses is an empathetic and moderate heart, a reflection of his soul. Thus tinkering with politics is, while making men feel like they are doing something, futile because the same events play out repeatedly throughout time.Having the courage to openly oppose evil, at the cost of one's peace and even life, is the only means of stopping evil and eliminating culpability. Peeking out here and there in the New Testament and the Old, are a few tidbits of truth, thoroughly misinterpreted and even then, misunderstood, which other religions, more ancient ones, knew and are also losing in the mad dash for fame, wealth and privilege.
Now and forward, my focus will far less on politics and onto what I do best, for what it is worth; thinking, writing and painting-none of which are all that great.
Stay tuned; there is more to come.

"THUS SAITH THE LORD"?
INTELLECTUAL TRANSFERS-NOTES FROM BEYOND
Sometime after the attachment- (Constantine) to the Temptation in The Wilderness rejected by Jesus, support from Organized Religion, in Jesus’ day, the bastion of the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the less fortunate, and the empathetic, shifted to the wealthy, high-rolling, unempathetic and transferred their attentions and support from the Moderate/Progressives to the Neoconservatives. That Transfer lifted the IQ level of both parties exponentially, delighting most especially the Moderate Progressives.
Meanwhile God, in His infinite wisdom, while mourning the adherence by some on the Left to abortion-affecting, in dwindling numbers some 1.25 million of the unborn, and most on the Right to Fascism, Torture, Capital Punishment, Preemptive War, Pesticide/Herbicide use, and the devastation of the land, air and water of God’s Creation-Planet Earth, and the devastation of the standard of living of more than 100 millions of souls and many future generations of their progeny, most of which will never be born, or if born will die horribly before their time, because of the diminishing health and welfare of their intended parents, wishes to announce that He has withdrawn lifted His perennial mantel of protection to those most egregiously and contemptuously engaging in such issues.
He mourns also the Contempt of some of His daughters exercising their envy and contempt for their Maker, by attacking their brothers and husbands and fathers-waging of war upon the male gender, beginning with the feminization and Demonisation of them prior to and after puberty. He admonishes His Sons for misuing His daughters and wishes them treated with respect as chosen to be blessed with the gift of life-giving.
Further He wishes to inform His People on Earth that that no church-no Organized Religion has, in His eyes, the whole truth, and that He has sent Prophets and His revelations to all believers and even to non-believers and, and that have been dealt to all peoples, which they interpreted according to their customs, education, and exogamous openness, open-mindedness and willingness to learn, and empathy. That He has granted Free Will to men and that He abhors the attempts by churches and governments to abort Free Will. Further, that He has adopted/Chosen, those people most in need from time-to-time and that his Chosen People are the genus Homo-sapiens in its full array of races, against the other, now extinct eleven or more variations, which appeared in the last 6-10 millions of years prior to the appearance of Homo-sapiens, within the last 150,000 years.
Most emphatically, He has favored Homo-sapiens because He granted them and them alone among their kind, consciousness, higher intellect, and lastly because God sinned against His Creation of that genus by first bestowing consciousness, which caused great mental pain and anguish for Man, by his consciousness of his self and his mortality-his “… knowledge of good and evil…” Therefore, God made the tort award of reparation in the form of immortality upon members of the genus Homo-sapiens in compensation for their suffering in awareness of the physical mortality, in keeping with His recorded practice in Torah of Compensation of tort law, another thing against which Neo-fascists have and are trying to eliminate and with it the justice of redress.
He has scattered to each and every people not only Free-Will, but also a share of the truth, so that a mosaic of divine wisdom is spread across the world-little pieces of which reside in every faith and every people and only by openness, a commingling of all men and all ideas will all men have access to the entirety of what God has revealed to all of the people of Earth.
High among those truths is the reality that the only sin by humans against humans, of the Seven Deadly sins and the 613 Commandments, which is without mitigation, is the evil of AVARICE/GREED-an offense against God, unfortunately now enthusiastically embraced by Organized Religion.
Further that the present path, attachment to, commitment of, some Western nations and some Mid-Eastern Nations to abortion, to Fascism, Torture, Capital Punishment, Preemptive War, Pesticides/Herbicides, bribery, Intimidation of and restriction of individual Freedoms and incarceration without recourse or trial is Anathema-therefore a stench to the nostrils of God. Also that He is now impatient with the Leadership of the Major Organized Religions and that none of them represents His wishes at the present time, and that they are mired in Medieval Dark Ages, Ignorance, bitterness, genocidal-bigotry and are directly or indirectly promoting hatred, genocidal violence and driving people away from them and also from God. In short, they are misrepresenting and abusing their association with God and He is not supportive of their divisive courses of action. He wishes now for religious leaders to disavow all violence-for said violence to cease, for all uninvited invading, occupational forces to exit the nations they are oppressing, and return home.
If His wishes are not acceded to, He will, for the first time in Eons, take a Personal Hand in the matters listed above and the First shall find themselves Last and the Last shall find themselves First and the Mightiest Nations will be fallen and drag their peoples into Gehenna on Earth and the instigators of the violence against man and the natural Order of things, the land, air and water, will find it would have been better for them had they never been born.
Moreover, those who misuse their authority even in the smallest matters, especially among the clergy, and/or who distort God’s wishes by preaching violence, genocide, twisting the words of God’s Prophets of every faith, whether Christian, Jew, Muslim, or other religions, to suit their twisted and false religious, political, bellicosity, or financial agenda, will pray to God for mercy, to no avail and will suffer exponentially what suffering they have caused.
Lastly, there are 36 known and unknown prophets on Earth at this moment. None of them are involved in the hierarchies of Government, Organized Religions or Industry, and those who pretend at the prophetic office in those profiteering offices, without His anointment, are those who will most regret ever having seen the light of their first day on Earth.

He wishes now for religious leaders to disavow all violence-for said violence to cease, for all uninvited invading, occupational forces to exit the nations they are oppressing, and return home.
If His wishes are not acceded to, He will, for the first time in Eons, take a Personal Hand in the matters listed above and the First shall find themselves Last and the Last shall find themselves First and the Mightiest Nations will be fallen and drag their peoples into Gehenna on Earth and the instigators of the violence against man and the natural Order of things, the land, air and water, will find it would have been better for them had they never been born.
Moreover, those who misuse their authority even in the smallest matters, especially among the clergy, and/or who distort God’s wishes by preaching violence, genocide, twisting the words of God’s Prophets of every faith, whether Christian, Jew, Muslim, or other religions, to suit their twisted and false religious, political, bellicosity, or financial agenda, will pray to God for mercy, to no avail and will suffer exponentially what suffering they have caused.
Lastly, there are 36 known and unknown prophets on Earth at this moment. None of them are involved in the hierarchies of Government, Organized Religions or Industry, and those who pretend at the prophetic office in those profiteering offices, without His anointment, are those who will most regret ever having seen the light of their first day on Earth.

MORE ACTS OF SELFISHNESS AND TREASON

MORE ACTS OF SELFISHNESS AND TREASON
I Received Saturday, from the Honorable Henry Hyde, at my request, a copy of The MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006. I was particularly dismayed and thoroughly disillusioned to read the following, in priority order:
SECTION-6, 3, pp-40, (A), (B), & (C ) INTERPRETATION BY THE PRESIDENT. This, despite the disclaimer in (D) gives a president the rights of a Despot, King, and Emperor. As such, it displays contempt for democracy and the people. It hints, when taken on the whole with the direction the party of which I was once a member, the distinct cloak of a Pre-WW II European political disability. It also displays contempt for the intelligentsia of America and the working class, in favor of a regime against which both General Douglas Macarthur and President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned, the Military Industrial Complex.
It assumes that because one person or group of weak persons is infected with the disease of avarice and pursues wealth at the expense of his immortal soul, and another, as, or far more intelligent, is not infected with greed, and merely desires to enjoy a lifelong pursuit of happiness by studying, work, family and learning, that somehow those who are infected with avarice, complicated by delusions of grandeur of Empire, at any cost, know better. We have no need of empire here, or of Emperors. This law, following the Patriot Act, has delivered horrifying twin blows to the heart of our divine and sacred documents of Democracy.
Further Under Section 6 pp-44 2 RETROACTIVE Applicability, places those who committed despicable evils, far above the law, violating ex-Post-Facto and declaring that anyone involved in evil, can merely, after the fact, excuse himself from justice. God, is not happy that one by one the documents He inspired to make men free, patterned on His concept of Free-Will are being dismantled by the living phantoms of fascism, back to haunt those whose parents destroyed it.
Further on in the MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006, under 948b of Military Commissions, (d), sup. -(A-C) pp-4 and 20 E I, II, II, there are also offensive interjections, which are to those privileged to be blessed with intelligence and Grace, abhorrent.
In these offensive pieces of legislation, inspired by Satan, I am extremely disappointed. My ancestors who came here to escape what this and other occurrences since 9/11 have wrought: The Patriot Act, The destruction of God's own, through Moses in Torah, Bankruptcy Act, and now this, have been blessed by God not to have to witness the evil represented by such ideas. I pray God for all the immortal souls of all of those who voted for this act of contempt for freedom.
I had hoped that the sources, which informed me of the content of this bill, were wrong, and in some ways they were, but in the above cited passages, they were certainly not.

NEW DISCUSSIONS WITH GOD
“PETER!”
“Yes, Lord? Here I am Lord!”
“Peter, Peter, Peter!”
“Yes, Lord? Here I am Lord.”
“Oh, there are you,” He said looking about my room, “Still in bed. Are you ill?
“No, I was sleeping and what do you mean, 'still sleeping,' its only 2:00 AM!"
“Ah, well, sorry I didn’t mean to wake you.”
“That’s okay, I had to get up anyway, someone was calling Peter, Peter, Peter.”
“AHHH. Anyway can we talk?”
“May I ask a question, Lord?”
“Yes, of course. What is it?”
“Umm, now please don’t take offense, but you know I sleep very little, by your edict, correct?”
“Yes, that is how I made all of your family-it’s a gift, you see?”
“A gift? Err, I didn't realize you considered it as a 'gift'. Well, again no offense-.”
“None taken.”
“Couldn’t you come calling in the day time?”
“I could, but then I’d be interrupting your prayers, and the other stuff I want you to be doing. In addition, there are reasons why I gave you Earth life again, there's stuff I need you to do when you are awake. And in this way you get to be awake for a longer period of time than your contemporaries and to enjoy more of life than others and more of the things I gave you to amuse yourself, and me. If you die at age 90, you will have enjoyed the wakefulness of the average man of age 135.”
“The average man of 135 years of age? I didn't know there were enough of them to have calculated an average.”
“You won’t need the few hours sleep you miss by my visits, trust me on that. Now, Can we talk?”
“Uhh, sure. Fire away, sir.”
“I have been reading your blogstuff.”
“Yes, do you approve.”
“Oh, most assuredly, I do, however, I have some new stuff for you to consider.”
“Okay, yes, sir!”
“You recall my Commandment, ‘I SHALL NOT SUFFER FALSE GODS BEFORE ME!”
“Yes, sir?”
“I need to clarify that. I kind of like competition, there is so little in my realm, so I allow all sorts of gods, but I do not really want to countenance false religions among men. Therefore I want to make that known everywhere.”
“Yes, sir, which ones are false?”
“Umm, err, well, actually, all of them are false. I live in the hearts of a very few-the enlightened ones. I not concerned much over the sins of honest sinners, I applaud their imperfection, it gives me something with which to work-a challenge. Sin is different from evil. Jesus said that fornicators, common thieves and whores would enter my kingdom before hypocrites, and he was close to right. I do not care very much who is diddling who, because those sins are easy to wash away, as are most sins of the flesh. (See John 4:4-42) Therefore, I can mitigate 99% of sins quickly, but what are not easily mitigated are evils, like torture, violent abuses of power, eradication of freedoms, the practice of avarice-greed, especially by the already rich, nor can I tolerate sadism, and some other truly evil things. There is no excuse for them. I gave men free will, that is the least the government can allow them.
“There are 36 prophets given men each generation, 35 of them and a good many more enlightened ones are your allies, Peter. Recall that I told Samuel when I selected David, 'That I choose differently than do men?” Without waiting for my answer, He went on, “I so love irony. Therefore I almost always select as a prophet a person no human, especially not the hierarchies of any known organized religion, or government, or industry would choose. They’d select a sycophant, an avaristic one, a Pablumest-“
“I’m sorry, sir, a what?”
“You know the baby cereal Pablum? I mean it in the representative, generic form, like bland, uninteresting and much too self-indulgently Eunuch-like, too virginal, too pious, too Boorrrrrrriinnnnng. Therefore, I picked David, a wonderfully flawed guy, a bit of over-the-top, type, and risky, edgy, none-too-perfect. Like, umm, like, err, well, like... YOU!”
“Gee, thanks.” He smiled and roared. I grimaced.
“Peter, all of my present 36 prophets, both known and unknown, are edgy, and you are so not the edgiest, so cool out."
“David was the apple of my eye, darkly flawed, a sinner of the first magnitude. You see, for some men, unless they have sinned and deeply, it is difficult for them to comprehend, to empathize with sinners. Recall please that some of my most interesting enlightened heroes were rather disenfranchised personalities. People like Moses, Abram, Jacob, Joshua, Imhotep, Giordano Bruno, Galileo, and the more modern ones, like Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Mark Twain, and lately I like the work of George Clooney, and others. Right now most of my enlightened are in showbiz and sports. There are very few in the media, Moyers, Keith Olbermann, and a few others, fewer still in industry, government, and even fewer in organized religions.”
“Lord, why are we being led astray from our Constitution and Bill of Rights?”
“Because you elected evil, avaristic, sadistic, atavistic, men and women.”
“I?”
“No, not you personally, but many people, so I am punishing everyone for allowing the election of those people and for allowing them to decimate the Bill of Rights and Constitution which I practically dictated to the Founding Fathers.”
“But how could you have allowed such creatures as those now destroying our nation, to even be born?”
“Some of their ancestors were fascists, and men punished the war criminals, but they allowed too many others to go free to corrupt the young. Besides, I created the concept of homo-sapiens, and I created Satan, but Satan created some of your leaders. Do you know about, ‘those who live, but do not-The undead?”
“Vampires?”
“No, not quite. Men whose souls have departed their bodies because of their evil and have been sent to Hell while their bodies still live on Earth. Right now America and some mideastern countries are being ruled by minions of Hell and those pretending to be my emissaries are some of my worst enemies.”
“OhMyGod!”
“Indeed. Well, I have to go, there is a Championship game today.”
“You watch baseball on TV?”
“No. of course not. I am going to the game this afternoon.”
“In New York?”
“No.”
“Of what game then, are we speaking,?”
“My team against the current World Champions to be.”
“Your team?”
“Yeah, Ruth, Cobb, Dimaggio, Tris Speaker, Ted Williams, Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons, Hack Wilson-the entire Hall of Fame. And so I made Copies of the present day players, the winners of the of the 2006 World Series-to-be, and then they'll play in a Universal, Intradimensional Series, which starts today."
"Wait, you already KNOW WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES AGAINST DETROIT? What am I saying? Of course, you do!"
"Well, Peter, I gotta go. Give ‘em Hell Petey-Babe, give ‘em Hell. Bye for now.”
“Hey, Lord? Could you perhaps, tell me if the Cardinals will beat the Mets and then who will win the World Series, now, please, while I still have time to call my bookie.”
Don’t know if he didn’t hear, or just didn’t answer. So, don't write asking me who to bet upon, because I don't know who will win the World Series either!

OIL, OIL, BUBBLE, BUBBLE, TOIL TOIL, TROUBLE, TROUBLE!
Monday, October 23, 2006
OIL, OIL, BUBBLE, BUBBLE, TOIL TOIL, TROUBLE, TROUBLE
THERE IS A BEST-KEPT SECRET ABOUT IRAQ. IRAQ SITS UPON THE LARGEST SWEET OIL RESERVE IN WORLD. SWEET OIL IS SO-CALLED BECAUSE IT CAN BE DRILLED, PROCESSED AND SHIPPED FOR BETWEEN $1.00 AND $1.50 A BARREL! YES, A BARREL! THAT IS SWEET, IF YOU OWN THE OIL COMPANY.
HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT WHY WE WENT TO WAR, IS IT? IT'S NOT THAT SAME ATTACK IRAQ AND STEAL-THE-OIL PLAN, WHICH NEO-FASCIST REPUBLICAN LEADERS (CALLED THE CRAZIES BY THE BUSH SENIOR PEOPLE) SAW REJECTED BY BUSH SENIOR BEFORE DESERT STORM IS IT? NOR IS IT THE SAME PLAN PRESIDENT CLINTON REJECTED IN 1992, RIGHT? NO WAY! IS THAT WHY THEY IMPEACHED HIM? CANNOT BE BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A CONSPIRACY THEORY!
NEVER MIND THAT EVERYTHING WHICH EVER HAPPENED FROM BEFORE AND INCLUDING DAVID’S SETTING UP OF URIAH IN AN AMBUSH, SO HE COULD MARRY BATHSHEBA, TO THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS, TO THE JAPANESE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, TO PRICE GOUGING IN THE OIL BUSINESS, TO THE BHOPAL DISASTER,TO THE ENRON DISASTER, THE CIGARETTE CANCER COVER-UPS, TO THE VOTE FRAUD OF THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS, TO ASCENSION OF FASCISTS INTO TOP GOVERNMENT POSITIONS, TO THE DISASTEROUS PATRIOT ACT AND THE NEAR WORSE MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006, ALL A PART OF THE PLAN TO SILENCE DISSIDENTS AND DESTROY DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA IN FAVOR OF THE CURRENTLY EXPANDING DICTATORSHIP OF THE BUSHITES,PLUS COUNTLESS CRIMINAL ACTIONS WHICH ARE IGNORED BY THE SEC, THE FDA AND OTHER REGULATORS, BUT BROUGHT TO JUSTICE ONLY BY HEROIC CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ATTORNEY'S, THE ONLY TRUE WHITE KNIGHTS IN AMERICA.
ALL THE SCANDALS WE HEAR ABOUT EVERY DAY-THEY WERE/ARE ALL CONSPIRACIES. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT ACTS OF GOD ARE CONSPIRACIES.
WITHOUT CONSPIRACIES, MOST CORPORATE CEO'S COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE AN ILLICIT PROFIT OR SCREW THE PUBLIC, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T SMART ENOUGH TO MAKE MONEY THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, BY HONEST LABOR. ONE DOES NOT RISE THROUGH THE CORPORATE RANKS WITH A REP AS A WHISTLE BLOWER OR AS AN HONEST MAVERICK, BUT ONLY AS A SYCOPHANT, WHO PLAYS BALL-THAT IS UNLESS YOU ARE SO DAMNED GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO LET YOU GO AND ARE AFRAID NOT TO PROMOTE YOU-BUT THOUGH THIS IS A RARITY, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHO FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY.
THEY IMPEACHED CLINTON OVER A SEX SCANDAL AND LYING ABOUT IT, WASN'T THAT IT? I KNOW FASCISTS HAVE NEVER BEEN VERY GOOD AT SEX AND HAVE ALWAYS ENVIED DEMS BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS FIND BETTER LOOKING MISTRESSES AND HAVE WAY MORE FUN WITH THEM, THAT I CAN SEE, BUT CHEAP OIL, NAW!
IN IRAQ BEFORE THE "WAR" TO IRAQI CITIZENS, THE EVIL EMPIRE SOLD GASOLINE AT $00.05 A GALLON RETAIL AT THE PUMP. YES, FIVE CENTS A GALLON.
IN VENEZUELA, WHICH HAS NOT SO SWEET OIL, BECAUSE THEIR’S MORE DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO PROCESS, IT COSTS A FEW CENTS MORE TO PROCESS THAT GUNK, SO THEY HAVE TO SELL IT AT THE INFLATED PRICE OF $00.12 A GALLON AT THE PUMP-RETAIL TO VENEZUELAN CITIZENS.
YUP! SO WHY WAS OURS SELLING AT $3.65 AND EVEN NOW IS WELL OVER $2.00? WHAT A STUPID QUESTION, ASK THE MESSIANIC PRESIDENT THAT QUESTION! IT'S EASY, HE WOULD SAY, THE AMERICAN AND BRIT OIL COMPANIES WISH TO PROTECT THEIR COUNTRYMEN AGAINST DEFLATION, WHILE THE IRAQI AND VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT WANTS TO EXPOSE THEIR CITIZENS TO DEFLATION, ISN'T THAT TERRIBLE, HOW THEY TREAT THEIR PEOPLE? WELL, THAT MAKES SENSE IF YOU HAVE A PEA BRAIN. WHOOPS WHO ELSE WOULD VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN NOW DAYS. BELOW IS A BREAKDOWN ON WHAT COMES OUT OF A BARREL OF OIL.
What A Barrel Of Crude Oil Makes.
PRODUCT GALLONS PER BARREL-THE PROCESSING IN AMERICA OF CRUDE OIL, ACTUALLY GAINS A BONUS OF 2.2 GALLONS MAKING THE TRADITIONAL 42 GALLONS INTO 44.2 GALLONS. HERE IS HOW THE 44.2 GALLONS BREAKS DOWN
Gasoline-19.5, distillate fuel oil 9.2
(Includes both home heating oil and diesel fuel), kerosene-type Jet fuel 4.1, residual fuel oil (Heavy oils used as fuels in industry, marine transportation and for, electric power generation) -2.3, liquefied refinery gasses-1.9, still gas-1.9
Coke-1.8, asphalt and road oil-1.3, petrochemical feed-stocks-1.2, Lubricants-0.5, kerosene-0.2, other-0.3
DEATH IN HELL, ERR, I MEAN IRAQ
NOW, THE LATEST STUDIES SHOW THAT 655,000 MORE IRAQI CITIZENS DIED SINCE THE WAR BEGAN THAN DIED IN THE PREVIOUS 5 YEARS. SEND THAT TO THE CARDINAL, NOW POPE, WHO TOUTED GW BUSH TO THE AMERICAN CATHOLICS THROUGH THEIR BISHOPS IN LETTERS IN 2000 AND 2004.
PS-I am and have been a lifelong Catholic.

MARENA, FELLENA, DIVEENA, COMEDEENA
I have seen the Heaven and the Hell which Dante missed in his fantasy of the DIVINE COMEDY`, Published in 1314 AD. (He obviously took the wrong stagecoach. I know that because he was infamously absent minded. Once, on a trip to France, he missed his boat by having mistakenly boarded a duck instead, while reading his notes for the Divine Comedy.
I, on the other hand, saw the real Heaven and the real Hell, (The dinner I’d consumed of odd-looking mushrooms aside) in a series of visions on my kitchen floor (or was it the splatter from dropping spaghetti there the week before?)
My Angel-guide told me some would think I am a nut case, so, in fact, my angel admitted, did, he. So be it, that is only commonsense. Common sense tells some people that there is a God and others that there is really only a Wizard hiding behind a curtain operating a mechanical universe while waiting for a balloon to take him back to Kansas.
So as you can see, commonsense means different things to different people, (to some people GW Bush is a Christian, but the same folks also think that Oz is the Capitol of Pennsylvania and that the poor will get rich on tax cuts.)
Dante wrote about his fantasy visit to Heaven and Purgatory and Hell. At that time, in 1313 AD, he and the pope were sitting under a tree in the Vatican Garden, where the pope had been puffing on his pipe with a silly grin on his face. Suddenly, sternly serious and menacing, the young pope turned to Dante' and giggled, “You should try smoking this new tobacco, it was sent me by an Old Visionary, Turkish Priest,” the pope said puffing away, while stuffing the long, slender, saw-toothed leaves into a pipe for Dante, “The aroma is sweet-smelling, not unlike that of ragweed or sage, burning!” He giggled again, in fact, he never stopped giggling even while talking to Dante' about Hell.
It was a strange luminously lucid experience that night when two great concepts were born. For Dante it was the Divine Comedy’s chapter on The Inferno (Hell), (he did not include the Blue elephants or the six foot four inch Rabbit named Harvey, which he saw while smoking the green weed, in his published version however.) For the pope on that warm night in his garden in 1313 AD, it was the fantasy that God was asking him for advice and therefore, he-the pope was Infallible and that he should demand of the people that they recognize his infallibility (and some did, until the present pope supported GW Bush).
(Actually there was a third concept from that pope in 1313 AD, but one which never left the Vatican garden. It was inspired after his fifth pipe-full of the green weed (a weed which when dried and ground looked a lot like oregano). It was then that his prophetic visions, looking hundreds of years into the future, included the PLAYBOY Mansion on Charring Cross Rd. in L. A. where Playboy Bunnies were frolicking in baby-doll pajamas while having a pillow fight.
These visions gave the still young pope a further revelation. It was that He-as pope, be excluded the from the vow of celibacy and chastity, and be forced to live the lonely, quiet and secluded life of a polygamist. “It would be lonely away from my red caped friends, but I believe the sacrifice to be worth it. They shall still wear red, and I blue, and the Bunnies as little as possible.”
Dante, shocked, and fearing the worst, immediately, thereby force-fed the pope gallons of Expresso with Chocolate, and as the pope was coming out of his stupor, Dante tore up the third proposal. The pope never spoke of the incident again, nor did Dante. However, once, years later on Dante's death bed in 1321, the pope did ask him, did he know where 10236 Charing Cross Rd. Los Angeles, 90024 was located and who was Hugh Hefner?
End of chapter. More to follow…

A long run of interest rates well below 10%, trillions of dollars in war (or any debt) debt, stupid, politically, vote getting, tax cuts, booming housing sales, escalating land prices, increasing joblessness, sky high gasoline and fuel prices, slovenly, excessive, medical and insurance costs, unprecedented, unbridled greed and arrogance among ignorant, conspicuous consumption, driven, nouveau riche’, the spoiling of, guilty, adoration and centrifugal focus on children, the expansion of those who buy above their means, the increased sale of over-the-top extravagant sport and luxury vehicles and second and third homes, the expansion of individuals buying rental properties, all of this leads, inevitably, to the following economic realities repeating themselves, in reverse order: 1987, 1973-81, 1952, 1929/30.
Conclusion? Are we heading for debt driven, cross between 1987 and 1929, to say nothing of the worst fascist violence driven society since that of Nazi Germany of the post depression, pre-war era? Time To Start Shorting? Ask a good market analyst. Time to vote Progressive? If you don't know that, it's time to see a different sort of analyst.

MARENA, FELLENA, DIVEENA, COMEDEENA
I have seen the Heaven and the Hell which Dante missed in his fantasy of the DIVINE COMEDY`, Published in 1314 AD. (He obviously took the wrong stagecoach. I know that because he was infamously absent minded. Once, on a trip to France, he missed his boat by having mistakenly boarded a duck instead, while reading his notes for the Divine Comedy.
I, on the other hand, saw the real Heaven and the real Hell, (The dinner I’d consumed of odd-looking mushrooms aside) in a series of visions on my kitchen floor (or was it the splatter from dropping spaghetti there the week before?)
My Angel-guide told me some would think I am a nut case, so, in fact, my angel admitted, did, he. So be it, that is only commonsense. Common sense tells some people that there is a God and others that there is really only a Wizard hiding behind a curtain operating a mechanical universe while waiting for a balloon to take him back to Kansas.
So as you can see, commonsense means different things to different people, (to some people GW Bush is a Christian, but the same folks also think that Oz is the Capitol of Pennsylvania and that the poor will get rich on tax cuts.)
Dante wrote about his fantasy visit to Heaven and Purgatory and Hell. At that time, in 1313 AD, he and the pope were sitting under a tree in the Vatican Garden, where the pope had been puffing on his pipe with a silly grin on his face. Suddenly, sternly serious and menacing, the young pope turned to Dante' and giggled, “You should try smoking this new tobacco, it was sent me by an Old Visionary, Turkish Priest,” the pope said puffing away, while stuffing the long, slender, saw-toothed leaves into a pipe for Dante, “The aroma is sweet-smelling, not unlike that of ragweed or sage, burning!” He giggled again, in fact, he never stopped giggling even while talking to Dante' about Hell.
It was a strange luminously lucid experience that night when two great concepts were born. For Dante it was the Divine Comedy’s chapter on The Inferno (Hell), (he did not include the Blue elephants or the six foot four inch Rabbit named Harvey, which he saw while smoking the green weed, in his published version however.) For the pope on that warm night in his garden in 1313 AD, it was the fantasy that God was asking him for advice and therefore, he-the pope was Infallible and that he should demand of the people that they recognize his infallibility (and some did, until the present pope supported GW Bush).
(Actually there was a third concept from that pope in 1313 AD, but one which never left the Vatican garden. It was inspired after his fifth pipe-full of the green weed (a weed which when dried and ground looked a lot like oregano). It was then that his prophetic visions, looking hundreds of years into the future, included the PLAYBOY Mansion on Charring Cross Rd. in L. A. where Playboy Bunnies were frolicking in baby-doll pajamas while having a pillow fight.
These visions gave the still young pope a further revelation. It was that He-as pope, be excluded the from the vow of celibacy and chastity, and be forced to live the lonely, quiet and secluded life of a polygamist. “It would be lonely away from my red caped friends, but I believe the sacrifice to be worth it. They shall still wear red, and I blue, and the Bunnies as little as possible.”
Dante, shocked, and fearing the worst, immediately, thereby force-fed the pope gallons of Expresso with Chocolate, and as the pope was coming out of his stupor, Dante tore up the third proposal. The pope never spoke of the incident again, nor did Dante. However, once, years later on Dante's death bed in 1321, the pope did ask him, did he know where 10236 Charing Cross Rd. Los Angeles, 90024 was located and who was Hugh Hefner?
End of chapter. More to follow…

ON THE WINGS OF VICTORY...

ON THE WINGS OF VICTORY...
I have seen, read, or heard, all of the preachments of men who wanted to go to war in Iraq and other places. I heard and saw more than one president of either party, preach about the menace of Communism. I saw the shock of the collapse of the Soviet Union registered in the faces and attitudes of the Ronald Reagan Cold War advocates, and now witnessed the shock of the fascists at the resurgence of the enemy in Iraq. I heard those who advocated or played along with the Cold War discuss the “Peace Dividend” how all the cash devoted to that Cold War could now be used in peacetime, to rebuild our infrastructure and our schools, hospitals and supply all the things and mechanics that a peaceful, humane and God loving nation should, but it was never done. Instead, in both instances, and avaricious corporations queued up to steal away the “Peace Dividend” with only a bit less hubris and felonious covetousness in the 1950’s, than recently.
I saw that figment of the imagination that gave rise to the same hysteria we saw in the 1950’s which led to a boom in the underground bunker mentality, where so many home-owners built useless “Bomb Shelters” In our own era now, a newer version of the same cosmically fearful, people bought great quantities of Duct tape, toilet paper and water supplies, fruitlessly.
Our troops have been lied to, abused and misused, and in being forced to fight a private grudge and profit, war, side-by-side with profiteering mercenaries, they have been, thereby, defiled by their own political leaders.
What neither the president nor his followers comprehended in their so-called faith, was how to recognize and trust the will of God. Ronald Reagan made the same mistake, but did not attack the Soviet Union, thank God, and he was shocked at what the legacy of prayer wrought. The true faithful have enough faith in God not to rush to creating violent, inhumane solutions to problems, something the president and the pope who supported him, not seeing ahead what some of us were given to see, by our God, needs yet, to learn.
True faith in God is exhibited by closely observing small signs, which serve as beacons to prophets of rare giftedness, but which others do not even recognize. Some of us saw and thus had faith in our prayers to the Mother of Life, that Our Lady of Fatima and her God, WOULD defeat the previous “Evil Empire” without the necessity of war. Our leaders should have known that, if they had they really shared the faith of their prophets to which God has spoken.
Men of faith saw before the war that there were neither Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq nor were there ties between the saboteurs of 9-11-01 and Iraq. We knew that if they had such weapons they would have used them. We had faith that God would solve the problem if we applied active diplomacy, carried a Big Stick, and did not resort to murderous war. Men of true, prophetic faith, followed God’s will, which the Commandments 6, 7, 8, 9 in such cases, usually represents.
Men of true faith do not make war the first option, but the last, nor do they covet a possession given a nation like Iraq by God, in this case, OIL. God does not look kindly upon attacking a nation 1/12 the size of ours which has neither air force nor navy, nor in murdering 655,000* innocent non-combatants, plus 3,000 of our own troops, under false pretences, and calling those lives and the more than 1,000,000 casualties on both sides, a “comma”.
In the old Cold War, Russia fell because we kept our armed forces strong and intact, negotiated, defended when necessary, and more than that, Prayed for the collapse of the mindset which ruled the Soviet Union. President Reagan, in charge at that time was stunned at the subsequent collapse of the USSR, even though I (and probably others) had sent him the solution President Reagan eventually used, and predicted what would happen to the USSR, even before he became president.
We should never had attacked Iraq, I said that in 2002 and I say it now, and if the president had asked us the real question: “America, should we attack Iraq and the other oil-rich nations and take away their oil for ourselves, or watch them control the fuel we need forever?”
That was the real question from the beginning. I know because in letters to several presidents I asked if they had considered such a violent course of action over oil, and said that if they had considered it, they would know that the honorable person would reject it as immoral. I said those things because I knew that certain men (now in office) have been advocating such attacks in order to pirate the oil, for more than thirty years.
In the past the president had vehemently denied that oil was the reason for the attack, but now desperate in defeat, he did mention the question he should have asked us before the attack (along with a few of his personal reasons for it) instead of lying to us and hiding the truth. He never asked us that question because people of conscience would have rejected the suggestion, with a resounding “NO!, we shall not attack Iraq or any nation to seize and squander their oil for the avarice of the oil barons and our own silly wastefulness.” He did not let us in on the real reason for attacking Iraq, because he knew we would say no! So, instead he lied.
Now, he should pressure the oil companies to lower prices to under $1.00 a gallon and nationalize oil, turning it’s pricing and distribution over to not-for-profit agencies like the major universities. Oil is a necessity of life, and no one should profit from the necessities of life. Iraq sits upon Sweet Oil, the largest cache on the planet.
Such Sweet oil can be processed $1.00-$1.50 a BARREL and sold at appropriate prices in ratio to that figure. In Iraq before the war, gasoline was selling at the pump for $00.05 a gallon and right this moment in Venezuela is selling at the pump at $00.12 a gallon.
The president was understandable shaky today, because he fears facing an impeachment and possible war crimes tribunal. Saddam killed more than 150,000 people, Bush 660,000 people. Should their fate be any different?
Some of my prayers have been answered; I have more to ask, do you?
*This figure of 655,000 dead non-combatants by health organizations is that many above the norm of the same period of years prior to the war, which is itself higher to begin with because of Desert Storm. Therefore the true figure may be closer to 775,000 above the true norm for Iraq.

THE AFTERMATH...
Today there was an actual radio ad recruiting for the CIA!
SERVE YOUR COUNTRY AS A CIA OFFICER! The Glamour, the Glory, the benefits of satisfactorily, fulfilling your life long dreams of Domination and Human Testing.
The qualities and qualifications preferred are: Membership in the Vlad The Impaler Fan Club, a carefree streak of Sadomasochism, a vacant sense of ethics, and must not be encumbered by the fictional (hahaha) “conscience”, must like Doberman Pinschers, having worked in a Slaughterhouse or Meatpacking House is a plus.
My guess is that some of those whose time is up are fleeing to better jobs before the wave of investigations, indictments, Dishonorable Discharges and Firing Squads Begins.
Better jobs like, executioners, cattle prodders and branders, Baby Seal Clubbing Dispatchers, Stock Market Analysts, Investment Bankers and divorce lawyers.
I heard that next week they are setting up recruiting stations for the CIA and former Concentration Camp Guards, at Institutions of Lower Education: schools for the Morally Retarded and the Ethically Challenged, The School of Underwater Skiing, The Eichmann School of Sewing up orifices, The Edi Amin School of Sadistic Studies Certificates, and the Marquis DeSade’ School of Inaccu-rate-Puncture Wounds.
It was reported that, the USA Ambassador of Bad Will to the UN is changing jobs soon, he has been hired by the CRCG-The Christian Right Churches Group to alienate everyone else on the planet, especially in the USA and Mid-east, which they missed over the last four years.
Mr. P.Rick Santorum has been recruited as liaison to two SPHH (Single Parents Head of Household) divisions: (1) Widows with Children Of 9-11-01 and (2) Widows of the Iraq War.
Their Patron saint is the Widowed Virgin Mary (Saint Joseph Died Young) and God the Father, Who as far as we know has never married but was the direct DNA Father of one Jesus of Nazareth and the StepFather and sole support of at least 6,000,000,000 other humans. Slighting either of these two could cause a person to at least lose their jobs and be forced to migrate to a place where the Sun Don’t Shine, but nevertheless is a MUCH hotter and darker climate.
America is likewise parachuting Mr. Haggard into the Sing-Sing Bath-House to convert the male Prisoners, armed with nothing but a bar of soap, some marbles and a jar of BrillCream.
Mr. Bush asked what Speaker Nancy Pelosi meant when she tweaked his checks and said, “Duckkee-wuckee will need a crutch until November 2008!”
Contrary to popular belief, the president is not unhappy with the Campaign suggestions and ideas of Karl Rove and Dick Cheney, because rumor has it that he is already planning a new assignment for them: Joint Ambassadors to The Sunni-Shiite Guerilla Training Camp. Their suits were knitted while in prison as a goodwill gesture, by Saddam Hussein, and on the back they have the logo of a Department Store Chain, what is it…? Umm, Not Kohl’s… not Wal-Mart, or Kmart, or ..., Oh yeah, yeah, TARGET!
I also hear that both Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell were given choice of plum new assignments by their respective churches. They are to establish a presence on either:
A-the moon
B-The Top of Mt Vesuvius
Or
C- Los Alamos

MY DAY AT THE ZOO, ERRR THE POLLING PLACE
I am writing to tell you of my weird voting experience the other day when I voted in the mid-term elections. It was fun. The polling place, a church, place was full of people, most of them just there for the coffee and rolls, but got chased away because the coffee and rolls were for the poll watchers, the volunteers and the squirrels.
The POLL WATCHERS were mostly from the nearby Oliver Wendall Holmes Retirement Home, most of whom seemed poorly informed because they sat in the parking lot WATCHING THE TELELPHONE POLES all day long. There was only one irregularity reported, when one of the poll watchers, an 85 year old woman claimed that a Telephone Pole had accosted voters within the banned area for politicking. This elderly lady leaped to her feet like a baseline umpire, dramatically pointed at the dividing line on the sidewalk and shouted in a loud voice, “FOUL POLE!” and rang up the violator with another dramatic, "You're-out!" Gesture. Later she was assured that the telephone pole had not advised voters, but was merely offering them coffee and rolls, to which she answered, “Oh, yeah, well then why was it wearing a red beanie and a tie with a picture of May West on it?”
I decided to try the electronic booths just to see if they were really as corrupt as people have said. I signed in and was immediately asked by the machine if I was voting a Straight Ticket, to which I answered, “Oh are there homosexuals on the ballot?” The machine then said, “If you want your vote to count, slip $50.00 into my slot or I’ll reverse your votes!”, when I tried to vote for a Democrat it grabbed my voting hand and called me a ‘Bleeding hearted Liberal’, but I had fooled it by feinting to vote left-handed, while I deftly flipped the stylus to my right hand, cast my vote and rang it up before the machine could let go of my arm. As I left the booth, the machine, in an act of desperate spitefulness, gave me an electric shock, which didn’t affect me much if you don’t count my waddling about like a duck, flapping my arms while floating, nose in the air in the pond outside the polling place, wearing a beanie with a propeller on top, and quacking, “I am Donald Duck and The Republicans are covertly draining gasoline from the pumps and replacing it with low yield, poor mileage, Extra Virgin, Mazzola Oil!” (Wrung from spare-virgins.)
Some of my friends were not as fortunate, one of them saw his votes for the democratic candidate for the senate, converted to early votes for Jeb Bush for president in the 2008 elections. Unfortunately for Bush, the votes did not count because my friend was observed being accosted by the same Telephone Pole now completely out of it’s district and demanding that my friend vote for Dan Quayle. The pole was arrested, cuffed and emailed to Afghanistan. Dan Quayle was also arrested on a related charge of guilt by association, his cousin Orville-a closely related relative and a logger, had cut down the pole the same morning, having been given the day off for soliciting a Moose to wear a different brand of red wool-underwear in summer.
A week after my voting booth experience, I stepped on my glasses while taking tea on the veranda, I didn’t drink the tea, I just took it and hid it in my shoe. Later that same day, still without my glasses, I began dating a shapely 19 year old pelican, (I thought it was a petite girl in low cut white tights, with yellow shoes, but when it rejected my advances I left in a huff. However, I quickly realizing my mistake, got out of the huff and left in a taxicab. Now, safely at home and all the wiser for my experience, I began only dating mature women from my past, the gals at the Oliver Wendall Holmes Retirement Home. I still haven't found a new pair of glasses, but they say ignorance is bliss. Therefore, what I don't see of these ladies, won't bother me.

A NEW REVELATION?

A NEW REVELATION?
COMING SOON, AN EXCITING REVELATION FROM ????? WHERE? CONCERNING THE SHROUD OF TURIN!
A NEW REVELATION?
COMING SOON, AN EXCITING REVELATION FROM ????? WHERE? CONCERNING THE SHROUD OF TURIN!
YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE CHARLATONS. YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE SCIENTISTS WHICH WERE HOSTILE TO THE IDEA OF THE SHROUD'S AUTHENTICITY, AND FROM THE SCIENTISTS WHOSE WISHFUL THINKING LED THEM IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, NOW HEAR FROM UNBIASED SCIENTISTS AND FROM OUR OWN SENSE OF TRUTH!
IS THE SHROUD, A DIVINE GIFT, OR A PIOUS FRAUD?
YOU'VE NEVER , EVER-BEFORE SEEN OR HEARD WHAT YOU WILL READ ABOUT THE SHROUD OF TURIN HERE NEXT WEEK.
HERE, SIMPLE LOGIC WILL DETERMINE THE TRUTH. YOUR HEART WILL SWELL AND YOUR EYES WILL WELL-UP WITH TEARS AND THEY WILL FILL YOUR SHOES, SO YOU WILL SAY, "ALL PETE SUCCEEDED IN DOING IS SOAKING MY FEET!"
NONETHELESS, ...THOSE WITH EYES, HAD BETTER SEE...
THEY WILL SEE THE 2000 YEAR OLD TRUTH HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME NEXT WEEK, WHEN THE RESEARCH IS COMPLETED. WE WILL GIVE THE EVIDENCE, EITHER THE SHROUD IS A FRAUD, OR IT IS A DIVINE RELIC, CONTAINING THE DNA OF GOD, OR AT LEAST OF RABBI YESHUA (JESUS), THE MAN.
THEN TRULY YOU CAN SAY, "PETE IS EITHER A NUTCASE OR PETE IS ONTO SOMETHING." (MAYBE HE'S ONTO SOME STRANGE MUSHROOMS OR PLANTS? OR MAYBE, BECAUSE HE IS ALLERGIC TO SO MANY THINGS, HE IS ONTO WEEKS OF SOLID RESEARCH AND A BIT OF INSPIRATION?) LET LOGIC GUIDE YOU AND YOU DECIDE! IF NOT, THEN GO GET DRUNK OR SLURP DOWN A FEW LARGE SIZE PIZZAS, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT. (NOT GETTING DRUNK, BUT EATING PIZZA... AGAIN.)

A COSMIC BATTLE?
A TALE OF TRUTH OR FICTION/FANTASY? YOU DECIDE.
In the psyche' of men, there is an empathetic side and a contemptous side.
The schism of the psyche' began when some men absorbed a soul, and others, were not offered one by God. However, He allowed Satan the right to recreate from the eleven sub-genre of thinking apes, God’s flesh and blood sketch pads, a returning group of those who came after the endowment by God of an Immortal soul to Homo-sapiens, the best of the twelve genre of man-like Hominids. HG Wells in his book, THE ISLE OF DR. MOREAU, wrote about this phenomenon. Even though Wells claimed to be an atheist, this book and others showed that his atheism was a facade-a self delusion.
When God made Homo-sapiens His Chosen Ones, He allowed those cast aside, those pre-Homo-sapiens hominids, Australopithecus Afarensis through Neanderthal, to have reincarnate life here on Earth, in the form of Homo-sapiens. In that model, some might gain immortality, if they could rise above their Cosmic caste and become more man than beast. Therefore, the battle was/is always between those with overbearing beastly depravity and those which accepted the idea of tolerance, empathy, and brotherly helpfullness. The beastly ones had a chance to join the enlightened and the Chosen, or continue their long experience of reincarnate, repetition, competition and evil. Jesus came to reawaken the slumbering enlightened ones and to warn and save, if possible, the unenlightened precursors of Homo-sapiens.
Thus the cosmic battle has always been repeated between men with the urges, body, and hunger of beasts and those with the body and urges of beasts, but the souls of angels. Without enlightened grace, few can tell the difference between the beasts clothed in flesh as men and the angels clothed in the same manner. Those few Chosen Ones, although not infallible, can often tell the difference. The Chosen are the 36 prophets of each generation, come to awaken the Slumbering Enlightened. Those Chosen-the prophets, see past, present and future in the exact light of God’s truth, the enlightened when aroused from Slumber by the 36 can see the light, but the rest, the beasts cannot see anything and refuse to listen to the Chosen or the Enlightened and that is also why we keep getting the Bushites, because men cannot let go of their materialism, envy, and their pride. They cannot honor the reality of the Chosen because they allow their material desires, their envy, and pride to addle their intellect and instincts, they often fail to advance. Evil besets them and clouds their judgment.
The Upper-class rulers and corporate owners, even of Organized Religions, are often from the Unenlightened side; overbearing, haughty, hubristic, autocratic, self-important, pompous, hypocritical and cruel, even sadistic at times, some all the time. Behind it all? AVARICE, the only Crime without saving mitigation.
There is a constant struggle between the two sides, the old Right Wing which always accompanies Fascism, Greed and the insecurities, which fuel the desire for more, more of everything, including power.
Because their insecurity is driven by cowardice again and again throughout time, they sell their souls because they lack the faith to believe they even possess souls.
We see the evil clearly now in the top political positions here and overseas. Men, however, often mistake the Jesus side of them as "liberals". Jesus was a Liberal in every sense of the word. He and they want to protect the downtrodden, the marginalized and the disenfranchised. It is always Jesus vs. Satan, a Cosmic battle, in which the generations change but the central characters do not. They are reincarnates. Bush, Cheney and Rove are facsimiles of their predecessors, Hitler, Goebbells and Himmler, Caligula, Nero, Stalin, and others, and their opponents, Michael the Archangel, Jesus, FDR, Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Robin Hood, Superman, Babe Ruth and the Lone Ranger.
The truly Evil Ones are permanently cast in their roles, but some of their followers have a chance here and there of joining the enlightened and the Chosen, if they can overcome their evil bent; those that rebel escape the evil empire of the Bushites to become the Jedi of Jesus' side. Some, like Abram, rebelled and deserted the dark, greedy, evil, unjust side of men for the Light side.
Patton was right; we all were there in the wars of The Carthaginians and forever, the cosmic battle of good and evil. It is always Purgatory and Hell on Earth, Heaven is elsewhere and we get a taste of it here and there while we fight the battles. The problem is too many sit on the sidelines afraid to fight and that is why we get Bushites. They have dotted our politiscape from the beginning of the grand experiment inspired by God.
We have the irredeemable evil ones and their followers and we have heroes, who are almost always, though flawed and fallible men, the kind God has always loved best-those with a fleshly, sinfull, dark side, to be mitigated, but also are towers of justice and strength.
Sin is weaknesses of the flesh (See John 4:4-42) and is therefore more easily forgiveable, but not so easily forgiven, is the non-mitigatible evil of Avarice, better known as Greed. Sin and Evil are obviously much, much, different. Evil people do not comprehend this, so they kill sinners and honor evil doers. Sin is inspired by human weakenness, evil is inspired by fierce hatred and contempt for God and His messengers, the flawed Chosen and the more flawed, enlightened ones, who while still sinners, seldom do evil, but when they do, they repent, immediately.
All of the other 0f the 613 sins can be litigated as justifiable under certain mitigating conditions, because all of them are derived from a loss and a missing element, such as a lack of love, of affection, of deprivation, and the result of torture and more, always because of withholding from the sinner by the avaricious, of that which is necessary for abundant life and love. Greed/avarice, however, is inexcusable because it is always the result not of deprivation but of power, of glutonous excess-wanting more than one’s fair share, more than one needs, this growing out of a core of sadism and selfishness, of contempt for God and those He loves and His Creations, the earth, the land, the air, the water, the beasts, our planet.
When men sin out of deprivation, need for the necessities of life, withheld from them by the selfish and the greedy, their sins are already mitigated and forgiven by God, for He is in the deprived, and Satan is in the deprivers.

A 2000 YEAR OLD SECRET REVEALED!
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1890 YEARS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF AN AUTHENTIC SHROUD, LEFT BY JESUS AS A SIGN!
Whether the Shroud of Turin is that Authentic Shroud or a faithful copy, is open to research and further verification.
Below are selected copies of The New Testament, from both the Synoptic Gospels (Mark, Matthew and Luke), and the Gospel of John, extracted and placed in logical order which, given the information of my previous entry yesterday and today, 11/11/06 and 11/12/06, displays clearly my premise. This is an interesting case of arm-chair research, 1890 years after the writing of the last Gospel, that of John in about 92-110 AD. It is not the first time that an ancient and accepted document has been reinterpreted shedding light on a truth obscured by stale dogma. In recent years other authors (Principally Richard Elliot Friedman in his books, Who Wrote The Bible, and, The Hidden Book of The Bible, and The Hidden Face of God), have discovered in older documents, namely the Old Testament, things missed over a longer period, in his cases for over 3500 years.
“Here now, for the first time is the beginning of a complete retranslation and/or reinterpretation of segments of the entire New Testament according to what we believe were Private Revelations to Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo.”
David Elias, agent.
The above material is accurate, however, in the texts quoted below there were no retranslations. They are faithful and accurate translations from Catholic Biblical translations and Catholic Versions of the New Testament (The NT). I did, however, according to my assertion that in Private Revelation and visions there were given to me, the information I relate here, and although I faithfully copied the quotes below, I did also reinterpret their meaning, as cited above, according to directions given me in the Revelations.
Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo

PETER AND “THE OTHER DISCIPLE” IN THE TOMB
Mark 15:45-47
“And when he heard of it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph (of Arimathea). Having brought a linen cloth, he took him down and wrapped him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb that had been hewn out of rock.”
John 20: 4-10
“So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial clothes there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial clothes there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial clothes but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead.”
Please note that the phrase: “… saw the burial clothes there…”, is repeated several times.
By way of digression, who was, “…the other disciple…”? John or James? Moreover, why is his name obscured? I will attempt to answer that elsewhere in this book and tell why I think the name was not mentioned.
Luke 24: 12
“But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, bent down, and saw the burial clothes alone; then he went home amazed at what happened.”
Mark asserts that Joseph wrapped Jesus in a linen cloth and placed his body in the tomb. In John, 20: 4-10, John specifies that, “… the other disciple…” “Bent down and saw the burial clothes there, but did not go in…”, then again Peter; “ … saw the burial clothes there and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloth, but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, he saw, and he believed. For they did not understand that he had to rise from the dead.”
Luke says, “But Peter… ran to the tomb, bent down, and saw the burial clothes alone, then he went home amazed at what happened.” Why was that? Why was he “amazed” at seeing the burial clothes?
In each case they, “… bent down … “ , “ … saw the burial clothes there …”, “… saw the burial clothes alone…, then he went home amazed at what happened…”, “ … rolled up in a separate place…”,
“Then the other disciple…he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand that he had to rise from the dead.”
Think about this, because I have read a lot of the works of New Testament scholars, whether theologians or historians of the New Testament, and I have never before seen or heard, anything like what I am going to say next.
They knew the tomb was empty, correct? Logically what could that mean? It could give rise in them, the same fears it had in Mary Magdalene, that they (the Romans or the Chief Herodian Priests) had removed Jesus' corpse during the night or early morning and buried him elsewhere. Worse, the Roman's might have thrown his body to the wild dogs, or into a lime pit, as they did to most of those they crucified. Remember that only the remains one crucified person has ever been found, because the others were either ripped to shreds by dogs, or disintegrated in lime pits.
But Peter and, “… the other disciple…” “… saw and …believed.” Or “… bent down … “ , “ … saw the burial clothes there …”, “… saw the burial clothes alone… then he went home amazed at what happened…”
They did not fear the worst, but why not? It would be an understandable, justifiable, fear, their ranks had already been breached by Rome and the Chief Herodian Priests, and the leader of the Apostles had been aggressively and violently, violated. Under such stress as having their leader, who appeared to be at least a prophet, yanked from their presence and summarily executed, they would have been under great stress and fear for their own lives. They probably, and with justification, wondered if they were next on the hit list. However, although they had deserted him earlier out of abject fear and horror, now, they, instead of fearing the worst, saw something in that empty tomb that made them understand, “Then the other disciple…he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand that he had to rise from the dead.”
What, under such duress, could banish their fears and make them believe that Jesus rose from the dead? Certainly not just the sight of an empty tomb or even of the burial clothes. These would merely confirm that he had been taken away. However, would those who came to get rid of the body, be enemies? Why would enemies, who so savaged him in life, carefully, respectfully, fold the burial clothes rather than either leave them on the body or toss them aside carelessly? Wouldn't the more logical explanation, be that someone had removed the body and hidden Jesus? Wouldn't such a thought have overwhelmed and depressed them? Instead the burial clothes, somehow seemed, in these gospels, to fill them with excitment, awe and good cheer.
The burial clothes are mentioned six or more times, counting the original wrapping of Jesus in them. Each time after Peter or, “ … the other disciple…”, "...saw the clothes and believed...", or were, “… amazed at what happened…”.
What did happen? Nothing happened when they went in, because the tomb was empty. That could have meant anything, as I stated earlier. Nevertheless, something did happen before they arrived, but they could not know that, could they? They didn’t believe Mary because, by the admission of the evangelist, and as Mary had complained, they thought that her story was “… nonsense…”. They thought either she was delusional, or hysterical or simply not telling the truth.
They also didn’t believe that Mary had seen Jesus, because she was a woman, and according to their cultural beliefs, women were of a status below men, so, in their minds, why would Jesus come to a woman and not one of the men? Moreover, certainly they did not believe that a dead man could be up and strolling about the countryside talking to the women, as Mary had claimed. They certainly would not believe a female eyewitness, so, they went and saw the empty tomb for themselves. They went in and seemed curious but not exhilerated, until they bent down saw the burial clothes, and then, only after a close look at those burial clothes, they were amazed and believed. However, what convinced them? They did not believe Mary’s story that their enemies had not taken him, what then? It had to have been the burial clothes, or what appeared on them. I think they saw his image burned into the clothes and that was a sign to them of his Resurrection.
Why didn’t they say anything about it directly in the gospels? They said it often enough indirectly as a clue or code-A living parable. They did not write it publicly, because they did not want outsiders to know. If the Chief Herodian Priests or the Romans knew, they would have confiscated the cloth, to stamp out any recollection/belief that Jesus was an authentic prophet, or more. The authorities would have taken the relic away in an effort to discourage the sect of the Nazarene. The Shroud was a sacred relic, a sign from God, not to be mentioned for fear of losing it. At that point they understood what Jesus meant when he cured people, asking them not to tell anyone about his healing or raising of the dead. This was part of the secret, like parables and prayers. Peter and, “… the other disciple…”, saw the Shroud of Turin, or something very much like it and they believed because the image was a miracle. One that proved that Jesus, even in death was thinking of them and had left them a sign, to ward off despair. Nevertheless, like all of his signs since his death, this one, was to those of little faith, ambiguous.
It may well have been that this previously unmentioned relic was the proof which gave the followers of Jesus the courage to face death. A courage they lacked before finding the tomb open and Jesus' body gone.
However, there is more to the story of the Shroud. From shortly after Jesus' death a rumor circulated concerning the Veronica, a myth that involved a woman, now known only as Veronica, wiping Jesus' face during his death march. The story goes that when she wiped his face, his image was somehow imprinted on the cloth, and that the church revered it until it was lost during some battle or was burned during the Iconoclast period.
Another myth which circulated concerning something like the Shroud was that while Jesus lived, King Agbar of Greece asked that him to come to Greece and heal him of a fatal disease. However, Jesus was unable to make the trip, so he wiped his face with a towel leaving his image thereon. He then sent the towel with the image on it to the King and the King placed it over the place of the illness and was immediately healed.
Later the church somehow retrieved the image in Greece, where it was kept and revered until it too was destroyed by the Iconoclasts. I believe that both of these legends were coded messages covertly alerting the faithful that such an image did exist, in the form of the Shroud. The mythological character of the stories were meant to sound silly, to discourage the authorities from taking them seriously-the stories were intentionally coded to sound foolish the enemy and hopeful to the faithful. The reason for the secrecy was a strategic one with a dichotomous message. One part to Christians, 'Yes, such and image exists, but it's true nature and location must be kept a secret to protect it from our enemies”. Truly motivated Christians needed only to surmount the many barriers thrown up by the fledgling church to weed out intruders, in order to have a secretive audience with the Keepers of The Shroud and to view the treasured relic.

A TWO PART ESSAY ON THE SHROUD OF TURIN
PART ONE OF TWO PARTS
Copyright Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo (Bagnuolo) 1996
The Quest for Gnosis
A Work in Progress
Chapter XXXIII
MYSTERIES: THE SHROUD OF TURIN IS Its AUTHENTICITY CENTRAL TO FAITH?
Of course, it is not central to faith. However, is it an authentic relic? Perhaps it is authentic in the sense that the image is a phenomenon that is inexplicable by current scientific knowledge.
Let us look at the scientific evidence.
In 1988 after centuries of speculation concerning the age and authenticity of the shroud, Professor Edward Hall with (later to be Professor) Michael Trite, and a technician, Dr. Robert Hedges did carbon-14 tests on a piece of the Shroud material. They later determined that the Shroud was created by an artist between 1260-1390 AD. They believed that the Shroud’s raw flax was made into linen no later than about 1325 AD (+- 65 years). Chicago micro-analyst Dr. Walter McCrone had said all along that a clever mediaeval artist had painted it in iron oxide pigments in a gel base right onto the cloth.
A University of Tennessee forensic pathologist Emily Craig and Professor Randall Breese, a textile expert offered the theory that the figure was painted on paper then transferred to cloth in the era, 1260-1390, by burnishing the somewhat damp paint onto the linen.
In 1389, French Bishop Pierre d’Arcis wrote to the pope saying that the Shroud was a hoax, painted by an artist of his attestation.
In 1977, around thirty American scientists (STRUP team) did extensive testing of the Shroud including photographic and spectroscopic exams also doing sticky-tape pulls in more than thirty places of the Shroud. Their conclusion was that the image was somehow flashed onto the cloth not painted.
A professor from South Africa had the best science fiction story, that a mediaeval person photographed the material onto the Shroud making it the first photograph ever taken. Two British reporters claimed that, indeed, it was the first photo ever taken, back in the 1260 AD -1390 AD and it was taken by no less than Leonardo D’Vinci! The only problem is that D’Vinci wasn’t born until the mid-15th century-in 1452, and therefore would had to have taken the photo 63-200 years before he was born. Probably they believe Leonardo was covertly born in 1230, but failed to let his parents know until 1452, 223 years later.
These kinds of errors with centuries and dates must throw a bit of a hitch in their love lives i.e. (date line, November 2006)-"I’ll meet you Suzie, for lunch, on top of Mt. Vesuvius, to propose marriage at 12:00 PM, on November 21st, 3006 AD. See then. Thanks, Melvin.“
On the other hand, Mexican Professor Leoncio Garza-Valdes claims that the carbon 14 testing done by Hall, Tite and Hedges actually tested a surface coating of fungi and bacteria which began growing from about the 13th or 14th century.
In 2000, M. Sue Bedford and Joseph G. Marino wrote an abstract which gave strong logical and mathematical evidence that the 1988 radio-carbon Tests and evidence asserting Mediaeval dates of 1260-1390 were skewed and inaccurate, and "...spurious...".
Recently, Mechthild Flury-Lemberg, an expert on ancient weaving, stated after examining the Shroud, "The linen cloth of the Shroud of Turin does not display any weaving or sewing techniques which would speak against its origin as a high quality product of the textile workers of the first century." Further, the design of the weave was particilarly unique to first century Judean weaving.
I found Garza-Valdes experiments interesting along with the other many logical and some of the quite bizzare explanations of the case for or against the authenticity of the Shroud. However there is none more logical and elementary than the one, which I am about to pass on to you. It does not establish, nor intend to establish that the Shroud is a miraculous, authentic relic, but does establish that if it was a painting, it was not painted in the time before the Renaissance, according to the time-line indicated by the 1988 team. (1260-1390).
I am an artist, a painter, and an Anthropologist, with strong anatomical knowledge, and strong recognition of the painters throughout the history of art. The Sistine Chapel was designed and constructed in about 1475-1483. Prior to the fifteenth century and the High Renaissancce, among those artists most talented were:
The School of Coppo di Marcovaldo, (13th century) P. Cavalini-1273-1321, Giotto di Bondone 1266/67-1337, F. Traini-1270-1300/05 Fra Angelico-1387-1455. Their art was charming, but primitive, with none approaching the complexity and accuracy in anatomical and drawing skills exhibited in the figure on the Shroud.
During the period of anytime before Leonardo's birth in 1452 and his professional career beginning about 1468, followed by Michelagnello's (Michelangelo) birth in 1475 and his beginnings in 1487 as an artist, there existed no artist who could draw and paint with the natural style, the anatomical knowledge combined with the skilled, loose and natural interpretation of surface and interior anatomy displayed by the figure represented in the Shroud.
The work of the artists in the period suggested by the scientists (1260-1390), were far too primitive in all of the necessary disciplines to have created such a painting as the figure on the Shroud. That level of skill did not appear until the 1470-1520's era, during the High Renaissance, with the advent of work by Leonardo, DaVinci, Michelagnello and Raphael.
The drawing style of the figure on the Shroud, even if it were a painting, lie even further into the future than the High Renaissance.
If someone had painted the Shroud at that time (1260-1390), he would have been the most celebrated Pre-Renaissance-Man or woman of all-time, equaling or surpassing, the combined astounding interdisciplinary knowledge of even Michelangelo or Leonardo.
His combined medical and forensic knowledge as well as the artistic skills shown by the representation of the figure in the Shroud would indeed comprise such a rare intellect as to be celebrated by church and state, to say nothing of the medical profession, such as it was in 1260-1390. If such a man existed, where are his writings concerning pathology, forensics? (Even Pasteur would have benefited from such prior Knowledge.) Leonardo’s great anatomical publications were riddled with errors, and he began work 80 years beyond the 1390 AD date and 210 beyond the 1260 AD dates given by the 1988 team.
In addition, human blood samples of type AB have now been have been identified on the Shroud. Moreover, particles of flora indigenous to the area of the crucifixion have been identified. So, have wood particles and slivers, mixed with blood in the cloth.
However, all of the above aside, the most ancient attestation of the possible authenticity of a cloth of miraculous manifestation is hidden in the New Testament itself. That information follows in the next chapter, and if true, what you are going to read next is the most amazing and deepest secret of the New Testament and has been hidden for 2000 years, only to be revealed for the first time since the death of Jesus, here next week.

THE BOOGIE MAN IS COMING, NEITHER NEBRASKA STYLE NOR TEXAS STYLE...

THE BOOGIE MAN IS COMING, NEITHER NEBRASKA STYLE NOR TEXAS STYLE...
YEAH, THE BOOGYMAN IS COMING. BECAUSE OF THE COURAGE AND TENACITY OF A VARIETY OF WATCHDOG ORGANIZATIONS, SOME CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN, BLOGGERS, THOSE GIVING THEIR LIVES HERE AND ABROAD, THE PLANNED OR SEMI-PLANNED OCTOBER SURPRISE WENT LAME. COWARDICE OR GOOD SENSE OR TOUCHES OF BOTH, PREVAILED, TEMPORARILY, AT LEAST.
THERE IS HOWEVER, ONE POSSIBILITY, WHICH NO WATCHDOG ORGANIZATION CAN PREVENT, AND THAT IS EXACTLY, WHAT A DREAMSCAPE REVEALED. THE PRIVATE HIT MEN IN IRAQ, PAID IN CASH MORE THAN $1,000 AMERICAN A WEEK, PLUS EXPENSES, W/NO TAXES, AND ALL THEY ALLEGEDLY CAN STEAL, WHICH SOME ALLEGE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS+, AND WHICH ARE DRIVING AIR CONDITIONED BMW'S, BETTER ARMORED THAN AMERICAN TANKS AND OTHER WAR ORDINANCE IN IRAQ, MAY SOON HAVE A NEW MISSION, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY BEGUN.
IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE MOST DESPICABLE COWARD ON THE PLANET, THE ANTI-CHRIST, FROM FACING THE MUSIC, THE VP MAY HAVE TO TAKE A DIVE ON WAR CRIMES, AND AS USUAL THE BUSHITES CONTINUE TO SPOIL ROTTEN THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE (WHAT AN INAPPROPRIATE NAME FOR A PLACE THAT HOUSES THE SOILED SOUL OF A SADIST CUM-DICTATOR.)
IN ANY EVENT, THERE WILL BE UNLEASHED, HIT MEN TO MURDER OR KIDNAP HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF IRAQI'S WHO ARE EVEN SUSPECTED OF BEING EYE-WITNESSES TO WAR CRIMES. KILLING A FEW THOUSAND MORE ADDED TO THE 655.000 NON-COMBATANTS ALREADY MURDERED BY THE BUSHITES, IS NO BIG DEAL TO THOSE TO WHOM KILLING FOR MONEY OR JUST FOR THE REPLACEMENT HIGH OF COCAINE AND BOOZE, IS NO BIG DEAL. TO THOSE BORN SANS CONSCIENCE, MURDER AND MORE MEANS NO MORE THAN THE FLICKING AWAY OF A CIGAR.
THOSE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE ARE CALLED SADOMASOCHISTIC, SOCIOPATHIC, PSYCHOTICS, BY SOME, BUT BY THOSE WHO SPEAK WITH ANGELS THEY ARE CALLED THE DAMNED. THEY ARE MEN LACKING SOULS-RATHER, MEN WITH DETACHED SOULS. THOSE DETACHED SOULS RIGHT THIS MOMENT, WHILE THEIR BODIES ARE STILL SOILING BOTH THEIR DIAPERS AND THE EARTH, SKY, AIR, WATER AND CREATURES, ARE BURNING IN HELL.
YOU SAY NO? IF NOT THAT, THEN WHY DO THEY ATTACK THE VERY GOD WHO MADE THEM, BY DESTROYING HIS PROPHETS AND HIS PEOPLE, AND HIS CREATIONS? FOR THE PROFILE OF ONE-A THING INDESCRIBABLE, WHOSE FOULED SOUL RESIDES IN HELL, WHILE HIS BODY RESIDES ON EARTH, IS MURDEROUS CONTEMPT FOR EVERY LIVING THING, AND THE MANIFESTATION OF THIS FOUL X INDESCRIBABLE THING, IS BRAZEN, VIOLENCE, PATHOLOGICAL LYING, DISREGARD FOR BASIC HUMAN EMPATHY, LACKING IN PITY, IN JUSTICE, IN REMORSE, IN GENEROSITY, IN MERCY AND THE EXHIBITION OF BEHAVIOR WHICH PLACES NO DOUBT IN THE MINDS OF UNBIASED AND BLESSED OBSERVERS OF THE EVIL WHICH LIES THEREIN. THE INDESCRIBABLE FOUL, THING, EXHIBITING BEHAVIOR WHICH IS SUICIDAL, UNCONSCIONABLE LOVES CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, AND ALL OF CREATION. THEREFORE AGAINST THE GOD HE CANNOT REACH, BECAUSE, AS VAL KILMER IN THE FILM "TOMBSTONE" SAID, "WHERE A MAN'S SOUL IS, THERE IS INSTEAD A BIG, BLACK, HOLE." AND, “WHEN ASKED BY WYATT EARP, WHY JOHNNY RINGO DID SUCH EVIL THINGS, DOC ANSWERED, “OUT OF REVENGE.” AND WYATT ASKED, ‘REVENGE FOR WHAT?” “FOR BEING BORN,” WAS DOC’S COSMICALLY, SARDONIC ANSWER.
MASS KIDNAPPINGS AND MASS MURDERS WILL GO ON UNTIL THERE IS NONE IN IRAQ, AND MAYBE FEWER HERE, TO ACCUSE, TO BEAR WITNESS TO THE TRUTH. I'LL THROW BACK AT THE MONSTERS, WHAT THEY HAVE SAID, ABOUT ANOTHER CRAZY, A FORMER ALLIE OF THEIRS, BIN LADEN, "YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE."
I SAY TO THE ANTI-CHRIST AND HIS HENCHMEN, YOU CAN'T HIDE, NOT FROM GOD. EVENTUALLY, HE, WHOM YOU IGNORED, HE THAT YOU THOUGHT WAS A MYTH, HE WHOM YOU BLASPHEMED; HE AGAINST WHO YOU COMMITTED SACRILEGES WILL HAVE YOU IN HIS HANDS, AFTER THE LAW HAS FINISHED WITH YOU. WE AMERICANS, TRUE AMERICANS, AND CHRISTIANS, TRUE CHRISTIANS, WILL BRING YOU AND YOUR BROOD OF VIPERS, MR. ANTI-CHRIST, TO JUSTICE, AND SOON, BUT NOT NEBRASKA STYLE, NOR TEXAS STYLE, BUT AMERICAN STYLE.
I THINK ALSO THIS POPE, THE LEADER OF MY CHURCH, NEEDS A COLLISION WITH HIS CONSCIENCE, FOR FAILING TO SEE WHAT UNBIASED OTHERS, DID SEE AHEAD OF THE TRAIN WRECK. TO SEE WHAT EVIL HE HELPED UNLEASH UPON AMERICANS, IRAQI'S AND OTHERS, BY HIS PROMOTIONAL LETTERS TO BISHOPS, WHICH IN ESSENCE, PIMPED VOTES FOR THE ANTI-CHRIST, AMONG THE NAIVE' AND UNINFORMED IN AMERICA.
LOOK INTO THY CONSCIENCE AND GET THEE TO A CONFESSIONAL, RENT THY GARMENTS, TEAR AT THY HAIR, DO SACKCLOTH AND ASHES IN REPENTANCE, YE WHO MAKETH LIKE A HOLY MAN, A HOLY MAN WHO IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR NEARLY 1,000,000 CASUALTIES, AND NEARLY 660,000 DEATHS AND TENS OF MILLIONS OF ECONOMIC VICTIMS IN AMERICA AND IRAQ AND THE DECIMATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT. YOU SIR, ARE NO CARETAKER OF GOD'S GOOD EARTH! YOU SIR HAVE DONE MORE DAMAGE THAN THE POPE WHO SENT GIORDANO BRUNO UNJUSTLY TO HIS DEATH, THE POPE WHO CENSURED AND CENSORED, GALILEO GALILEI, AND HE WHICH AUTHORIZED THE DESTRUCTION OF IMHOTEP'S TOMB AND HIS NEAR 20TH CENTURY MEDICAL TREATMENTS, SURGERIES AND INSTRUMENTS. YOU JOIN THOSE IGNORANT OF THE SCIENTIFIC PROPHETS SENT BY GOD, THUS DISPLAYING CONTEMPT FOR THEM AND HE WHICH ANOINTED THEM TO LIFT OUR SUFFERING, OUR IGNORANCE, AND RAISE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CREATIONS.

IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE MOST DESPICABLE COWARD ON THE PLANET, THE ANTI-CHRIST, FROM FACING THE MUSIC, THE VP MAY HAVE TO TAKE A DIVE ON WAR CRIMES, AND AS USUAL THE BUSHITES CONTINUE TO SPOIL ROTTEN THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE (WHAT AN INAPPROPRIATE NAME FOR A PLACE THAT HOUSES THE SOILED SOUL OF A SADIST CUM-DICTATOR.)
IN ANY EVENT, THERE WILL BE UNLEASHED, HIT MEN TO MURDER OR KIDNAP HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF IRAQI'S WHO ARE EVEN SUSPECTED OF BEING EYE-WITNESSES TO WAR CRIMES. KILLING A FEW THOUSAND MORE ADDED TO THE 655.000 NON-COMBATANTS ALREADY MURDERED BY THE BUSHITES, IS NO BIG DEAL TO THOSE TO WHOM KILLING FOR MONEY OR JUST FOR THE REPLACEMENT HIGH OF COCAINE AND BOOZE, IS NO BIG DEAL. TO THOSE BORN SANS CONSCIENCE, MURDER AND MORE MEANS NO MORE THAN THE FLICKING AWAY OF A CIGAR.
THOSE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE ARE CALLED SADOMASOCHISTIC, SOCIOPATHIC, PSYCHOTICS, BY SOME, BUT BY THOSE WHO SPEAK WITH ANGELS THEY ARE CALLED THE DAMNED. THEY ARE MEN LACKING SOULS-RATHER, MEN WITH DETACHED SOULS. THOSE DETACHED SOULS RIGHT THIS MOMENT, WHILE THEIR BODIES ARE STILL SOILING BOTH THEIR DIAPERS AND THE EARTH, SKY, AIR, WATER AND CREATURES, ARE BURNING IN HELL.
YOU SAY NO? IF NOT THAT, THEN WHY DO THEY ATTACK THE VERY GOD WHO MADE THEM, BY DESTROYING HIS PROPHETS AND HIS PEOPLE, AND HIS CREATIONS? FOR THE PROFILE OF ONE-A THING INDESCRIBABLE, WHOSE FOULED SOUL RESIDES IN HELL, WHILE HIS BODY RESIDES ON EARTH, IS MURDEROUS CONTEMPT FOR EVERY LIVING THING, AND THE MANIFESTATION OF THIS FOUL X INDESCRIBABLE THING, IS BRAZEN, VIOLENCE, PATHOLOGICAL LYING, DISREGARD FOR BASIC HUMAN EMPATHY, LACKING IN PITY, IN JUSTICE, IN REMORSE, IN GENEROSITY, IN MERCY AND THE EXHIBITION OF BEHAVIOR WHICH PLACES NO DOUBT IN THE MINDS OF UNBIASED AND BLESSED OBSERVERS OF THE EVIL WHICH LIES THEREIN. THE INDESCRIBABLE FOUL, THING, EXHIBITING BEHAVIOR WHICH IS SUICIDAL, UNCONSCIONABLE LOVES CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, AND ALL OF CREATION. THEREFORE AGAINST THE GOD HE CANNOT REACH, BECAUSE, AS VAL KILMER IN THE FILM "TOMBSTONE" SAID, "WHERE A MAN'S SOUL IS, THERE IS INSTEAD A BIG, BLACK, HOLE." AND, “WHEN ASKED BY WYATT EARP, WHY JOHNNY RINGO DID SUCH EVIL THINGS, DOC ANSWERED, “OUT OF REVENGE.” AND WYATT ASKED, ‘REVENGE FOR WHAT?” “FOR BEING BORN,” WAS DOC’S COSMICALLY, SARDONIC ANSWER.
MASS KIDNAPPINGS AND MASS MURDERS WILL GO ON UNTIL THERE IS NONE IN IRAQ, AND MAYBE FEWER HERE, TO ACCUSE, TO BEAR WITNESS TO THE TRUTH. I'LL THROW BACK AT THE MONSTERS, WHAT THEY HAVE SAID, ABOUT ANOTHER CRAZY, A FORMER ALLIE OF THEIRS, BIN LADEN, "YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE."
I SAY TO THE ANTI-CHRIST AND HIS HENCHMEN, YOU CAN'T HIDE, NOT FROM GOD. EVENTUALLY, HE, WHOM YOU IGNORED, HE THAT YOU THOUGHT WAS A MYTH, HE WHOM YOU BLASPHEMED; HE AGAINST WHO YOU COMMITTED SACRILEGES WILL HAVE YOU IN HIS HANDS, AFTER THE LAW HAS FINISHED WITH YOU. WE AMERICANS, TRUE AMERICANS, AND CHRISTIANS, TRUE CHRISTIANS, WILL BRING YOU AND YOUR BROOD OF VIPERS, MR. ANTI-CHRIST, TO JUSTICE, AND SOON, BUT NOT NEBRASKA STYLE, NOR TEXAS STYLE, BUT AMERICAN STYLE.
I THINK ALSO THIS POPE, THE LEADER OF MY CHURCH, NEEDS A COLLISION WITH HIS CONSCIENCE, FOR FAILING TO SEE WHAT UNBIASED OTHERS, DID SEE AHEAD OF THE TRAIN WRECK. TO SEE WHAT EVIL HE HELPED UNLEASH UPON AMERICANS, IRAQI'S AND OTHERS, BY HIS PROMOTIONAL LETTERS TO BISHOPS, WHICH IN ESSENCE, PIMPED VOTES FOR THE ANTI-CHRIST, AMONG THE NAIVE' AND UNINFORMED IN AMERICA.
LOOK INTO THY CONSCIENCE AND GET THEE TO A CONFESSIONAL, RENT THY GARMENTS, TEAR AT THY HAIR, DO SACKCLOTH AND ASHES IN REPENTANCE, YE WHO MAKETH LIKE A HOLY MAN, A HOLY MAN WHO IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR NEARLY 1,000,000 CASUALTIES, AND NEARLY 660,000 DEATHS AND TENS OF MILLIONS OF ECONOMIC VICTIMS IN AMERICA AND IRAQ AND THE DECIMATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT. YOU SIR, ARE NO CARETAKER OF GOD'S GOOD EARTH! YOU SIR HAVE DONE MORE DAMAGE THAN THE POPE WHO SENT GIORDANO BRUNO UNJUSTLY TO HIS DEATH, THE POPE WHO CENSURED AND CENSORED, GALILEO GALILEI, AND HE WHICH AUTHORIZED THE DESTRUCTION OF IMHOTEP'S TOMB AND HIS NEAR 20TH CENTURY MEDICAL TREATMENTS, SURGERIES AND INSTRUMENTS. YOU JOIN THOSE IGNORANT OF THE SCIENTIFIC PROPHETS SENT BY GOD, THUS DISPLAYING CONTEMPT FOR THEM AND HE WHICH ANOINTED THEM TO LIFT OUR SUFFERING, OUR IGNORANCE, AND RAISE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CREATIONS.

LOOK WHO'S TALKING!
Friday, November 17, 2006
LOOK, WHO’S TALKING!
LOOK, WHO’S TALKING!
By the way, before I begin, I was born and remain Catholic, but since I have had the benefit of Private Revelations, I not only have the right, but the obligation to question inaccurate and self-serving comments of church hierarchies, as well as those which, by omission, sin and manipulate American citizens and allow the self-serving proclamation (by way of warding off lawsuits) of the Vatican that it is a Sovereign State and the Pope its ruler, who in ignorant bliss, interfered in two elections within another nation-a true Sovereign State.
I wrote more than one letter to then Cardinal Ratzinger, to withdraw his virtual support of the Current US President. In my novel, Newsletters and Blogspot, I outlined far in advance of the election what to expect from the current president: Preemptive war, lies, murder, capital punishment, torture, the wrecking of the environment, the decimation of salaries, benefits, insurance, destroying pensions, Ex Post Facto, thus destroying the future, education possibilities, health care, job market, and longevity for tens of millions of Americans for generations to come.
Those are a few of the things this pope, in his haste, and lack of foresight, overlooked. Had he benefited from my advantage of Private Revelation or even common sense based on a little internet research, he would have known what I knew, or at least listened, had he broken the bonds which tied him to stale dogma, which inspired his errors.
In Vatican City, this week, Pope Benedict XVI declared “Some have assumed a right to choose, in matters of faith, those teachings that, according to them, should be accepted and those that can be excused.” He goes on to say that, in particular he is “… thinking of the profound crisis of marriage and family… divorce's, …abortions, same sex marriage….” Here, he ended his reference to the “problems.”
Below I outline how, either in his own ignorance, and/or his lack of intelligent advisement, or mindlessness, or forgetfulness and lack of humility and recall, he is doing exactly that of which he accuses others, which is picking and choosing those things he will or will not accept and promote and ignoring the rest.
He has not yet apologized for helping cause casualties of over 1,000,000 Americans and Iraqis, and the deaths of 655,000 Iraqi non-combatants, and the economic and violent Hell on Earth in that country. I find it unconscionable that he now goes on about people ignoring divorce, abortion and homosexual marriage. (Perhaps he did like the recent election results in which Catholics ignored him and the American Bishops. Some American Catholics are at last, showing some common sense.
Is he unaware, even after my emails to him, of the evidence of homosexuality being a genetic biological matter? Is he, therefore, unaware that many people who voted Democratic in America, like me, are also against abortion, but are able to have foreseen the wider evils, to which he was blinded, among them the loss of democracy in this, the nation that saved Italy in WW II? Has he no sense of gratitude or obligation? That we who foresaw what have, indeed, happened here under fascist rule much worse in the end. Are we now to think, the pope was born a fascist and remains a fascist?
Are we now to think, the pope, is repeating the ignorance and envious bigotry and superstition, that destroyed such scientific findings and practices of Prophets of knowledge sent by God, regardless of religion, of men such as (Imhotep, Bruno, Galileo)?
Is he not aware of the evil of the Ghettoization of Jews for 1400+ years, and so many other decisions out of ignorance, made by the church, (I could go naming them, ad-infinatum), because he, like some of his predecessors is sadly lacking the necessary intellectual and spiritual, giftedness, to remain in office?
Are we to believe that his silence on his grave error, (and a fatal one for hundreds of thousands of Iraqi’s and Americans, and down the road for tens of millions?), is related to his comments about Muslims a few weeks ago? Are we to understand that his attitude toward them is the same as the attitude of many canonized saints who preached vehement Ant-Semitism and that he has neither conscience or empathy for those slaughtered and their families? He is certainly no John Paul-he is certainly no Einstein. He, in fact, is a shameful choice, but if this is the best the cardinals can come up with, then we should, as I have done, look directly to God with no intermediaries to ill-advise us.
I found it interesting that a man whose intellectual capacity is not off the charts, whose advisors are not kept abreast of the findings of the best and the brightest, and whose confessors are quite obviously, judging from his decisions, not prophets, whose minds are stuck closed with mistranslated, misinterpreted data, dogma, and illogic. Finally, one whose God is not whispering in his ear, (or if He is, this pope is turning an ear deaf to the advice of the Holy Spirit), that such a one, should be so presumptuous as to preach a thing despicable, to support a known murdering coward on one issue and ignoring the others I have listed above (and many for which I no room here)? Even to men of whose giftedness he is unaware. Some, which God has Chosen for Private Revelation from birth?
The totality of unacceptable behavior of the so-called Christian Right and their candidate, speaks as much for their lack of intellect as for their lack of prophetic foresight, for the man they supported is the Anti-Christ of our era and anyone who did receive that revelation before the fact, should have by common sense, comprehended it after the fact. However, for those who do not even recognize that after the fact, one can only say, they are incapable morally, or intellectually of apprehending and comprehending the most basic bit of reality, and thus must needs be dealt with by excommunication by God, if not this pope's peers. Thus, if the cardinals have no rule for recall, I believe that as has been predicted to me, if the pope does not repent his support of the current administration, try hard to increase his own knowledge of biology and world events, read my Blogspot regularly, try to find out who the other 35 of the 36 prophets of my generation are, and either shut the heck up, or find that God-Himself may Excommunicate this pope and call for his replacement. Argue not this point with me, but with the God who made us.
I, Peter, tearful and prayerful at not only seeing our nation in the hands of the terminally dumbed-down, but our church as well. That, as stupidity, greed and violence, grips the reigns of our nation, ignorance and lack of knowledge and empathy, grips the reigns of Holy Mother, Church.
We want no more Supporters of Anti-Christ’s in the popery, no more burning at the stakes of prophets like Giordano Bruno, no more destroying of the gifts God sent us through his geniuses like Imhotep, no more covering up of the work of our Michelagnello’s by misdirected boobs in purple, or red cloth, and no more mistakes like dismantling of Polygamy set in place by God and never rescinded by him. Bytheway, Jesus was an elegant and often abruptly forward prophet. Had he meant Marriage to be a sacrament, he would have said so in plain words. Making water into wine is less a code for sacramentation of marriage, than Jesus, discussion with the Samaritan Woman at Jacob’s Well (John 4:4-42) was a blessing for serial polygamy. Whoops, let me think about that last comparison for a moment. Hmmm, she had 5 husbands and was living with a fellow who was not her husband? And Jesus said NOTHING about that, other than to let her know he knew about her life. He did not say to her, ‘go and sin no more’, nor to repent, nor to get an annulment, nor to go back to the first husband.
Hmm, I take that last part, all back. Sounds like he had no problem with her sexuality or her serial polygamy. He saw clearly the mitigating realities of her life. God would rather the church concentrate on the real evil-the church’s blessing and acceptance of the evil of avarice, of shameless self-promotion, by ignoring the Temptation which Jesus Rejected in the Wilderness, by creating an agency like Opus Dei, and supporting of men of Avarice in government and industry, and all the Bushites Stand for-GREEDY, HEARTLESS, EVIL, much like the minions of Adolph Hitler did.
AVARICE, just in case the pope is not well enough read to comprehend the words of God, the prophets and Jesus, avarice is the only Evil of the 613 Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins, which is without Mitigation. You learn that no-brainer in Direct Divine Private Revelation 101.
It comes with the territory of being a prophet-A real Anointed One. A Corporate Organized Religion cannot anoint, hire, ordain, or create a prophet; only God can do that! And God Chooses not as or those man might chose- (God to Samuel-16: 7) “…not as a man sees does God, see….” God chooses those with faults, those are the only kind of men He trusts-honest sinners, men and women with sins, with baggage, because to be other is to be ill upstairs, or created angelic by a direct act, as a very few have been, like Mary (?) God Bless my readers. They know, they know… they very certainly know. Those whose hearts are one with God's recognize a true prophet, because it takes one to know one.

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
Recently, allegedly, Mr. Dick Cheney stated that regardless of the election results, if the Israeli’s attack Iran (or any country with oil, which he and his No-Bid contractors, now covet and would like to steal, which is virtually any country with oil) America will attack Iran. He supposedly said, in essense, the president decides who and when to attack and he loves attacking anything that lives, moves, or is dormant as long as it will suffer even a little bit, but hopefully more.
Meanwhile, (allegedly) Mr. Bush was busy saying that he is such a compassionate guy that his chef is designing a mock turkey made of Polenta, Czech Dumplings, Tofu and vegetables, signifying his, kinder gentler presidency. In short, he is sparing the Goose or Turkey and sending his to the needy. He then launched into a report of his staff’s leisurely activities over the holidays, which we here, now question:
Is Mr. Rove really quite busy trying to undo the Gordian knot of Barbed Wire Mr. Bush allegedly tied him up in after the election results were released? Is Mr. Rove also sending to Mr. Fitzgerald weekly reports on everyone in the White House as a fulfillment of a sealed plea-bargain to nail Mr. Cheney? Gee, if only they’d let him alone so he wouldn’t have to go to jail, because a 475 pound guy named Tyrone “Soap-Dropper” Nailesum has volunteered to be his cellmate and sent along a box of chocolate and flowers by way of welcoming him to cell block #69, when he arrives.
Allegedly Mr. Wolfowitz, is busy pounding his head against his concrete office wall, taking in vain the names of Bush, Rove and Cheney, and Dr. Howard Dean.
Is Mr. DeLay really holding a weekly Black Mass, to his alleged mentor and alleged look-alike, Beelzebub?
Is Mr. Cheney, quite joyfully, busy practicing Water-Boarding and Burning alive, on the Thanksgiving Goose sent him by Mr. Bush? Is Mr. Bush busy buying Mr. Cheney a new Shotgun, new glasses, and a healthy supply of some Cola laced by the CIA with Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride (Phenothiazine), Thorazine, Haldol, Clozaril and Risperdal, and all the other the happy little Benzodiazepines, along with a dose or two of Milltown, Prozac and Alcohol?
Despite all of this, if I were the Democrats, I would ask Justice to tap the phones of all of the above, because I believe that they may now be scheming to entice the Israeli’s to attack Iran, and then leap in under our treaty, by stretching it’s interpretation. Is the CIA busy trying to provoke a war with Iran or Syria or any number of other nations? Are they also planning to covertly stage an incident to which one of those on the Bush Hit-list may respond, in order to frame them into provoking war?
Mr. Bush, dump Mr. Cheney and the others mentioned above, and do the greatest Christian thing that can be done for America... RESIGN!
Oh, and the Dems should dump Mr, Carvel, he hasn’t guessed right since 1992 and his wife is a Republican “Strategist”, ummm, let’s see what is wrong with that picture, ummm… something, err, ummm, hmmm, I’ll figure it out, his wife is a Republican Stratigist, so he lives with a Republican “Strategist” hmmm, Oh I know what’ is wrong,
HIS WIFE IS A REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST, THUS HE LIVES WITH A REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST!!!

Of Late, I have become very fond of eating and sniffing the new WILBERFORCE'S CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER, which WILBERFORCE has laced with herring and chives.
Anyway there was something about the peanut butter with herring and chives that reminded me of a girl I dated who looked a lot like a herring and her sister like chives, so when they were together...
Actually, they were identical twins, but they were each identical to someone other than their sister. One was identical to her postman, the other to a shoebox. The shoebox girl, would eat anything, and so we fondly referred to her by her Christian name, "GoatGirl".
Freud grew interested in their case because he lived on the same block and had reason to believe he had placed his slippers in the mouth of the one who looked like a shoe box when she came to his door thinking she was ordering to-go, and he gave a special delivery letter to the other. The letter arrived at its intended destination as did the postal sister, thinking she had inadvertently, changed jobs.
Needless to speculate on the fate of the slippers which were placed in GoatGirl's mouth. She thought Freud fed them to everyone in the neighborhood as a sort of good neighbor, free group therapy. To this day people insist she left Freud's house and asked his neighbors if Ketchup or Dijon-Honey-Mustard, go better with Freudian slippers, which are a lot unlike Freudian Slips.
The Postman look-alike-sister showed up in the high mountains of Nepal Guided by the Abominable Snow-Guy, both seeking the local Special Delivery Office for a reply to Freud's letter. There was no reply but she and the Abominable SnowGuy, fell hopelessly in love, (But not necessarily, with each other), nonetheless he proposed to her, but she would marry him only on the condition that he get a complete body shave and move with her to Belize. He did, and they moved, but he had ongoing problems with overexposure to the sun. His doctor advised him to grow a protective coat of summer fur. Following the loss of her identical sister, the shoebox lady quit ordering out, but caught quitters remorse because she missed the pungency of Freud's slippers.
Freud eventually caught pneumonia walking about barefooted, and HIS doctor advised him to either buy new slippers or try growing a coat of seasonal fur on his feet.
A very sad tale, at best.

THE BUSHITE MANIFESTO, A HISTORY IN 3 PARTS
Sunday, November 26, 2006
Sunday, November 26, 2006
Have you ever asked yourself; to what does the president owe his great success? Neither have I, for a person to ask such a questions of another, the one of which they speak must actually have had some success, or even one success, or at least have gotten a “B” in Cheerleading, or if having been a cheerleader, must at least have some cleavage to show. The president has none of the above.
The inspiration, perhaps subconsciously, perhaps Rovean, for the twin GW Bush “Victories,” and his adventure in rejoining fascism to greed and voyeurism, was perhaps the most fascinating aspect of his years as president, (for those who, indeed, believing slaughtering, starving, robbing and yet referring constantly to Jesus as his inspiration, can be at all fascinating, even if it is to sane people, a bit maddening.)
The Bush “victories,” I have said, were planned around fascism’s Four reference books, Mein Kampf, 1984 (Orwell), a twisted version of the Old and New Testaments, and the last issue of Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies, in which Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny starred, in their Tour-de force’,
A PIG, A DUCK, A DORK AND A BUNNY, GET DOWN AND DIRTY, which his operatives consistently fed the public, but it’s true inspiration he owes to two factors.
(A)-The first is a shortage of good taste, conscience and functional brain cells …and…
(B)-The second is a shortage of good taste, conscience and functional brain cells.
It has been said that Bush’s advisors believed that Hitler did not die in the bunker, but instead, shaved his killer Pit-bull- (named Violet) and dressed it in his Fuhrer costume, shot it and left it for the Allies to think he had shot himself. Then Hitler, disguised as a Baker, got into a Tub with his Butcher and his Candle Stick Maker and rowed across the Atlantic. Later he found himself written up in HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL, the scandal magazine, asking the question, what were 3 men doing in a tub together and at whose apartment? And if so, was it rent-controlled? (The apartment not the tub), and further questioning the sexuality and prudence of Three Men in a Tub, and wondering which would drop the soap first.
When they landed, Hitler went north, the Butcher (Hans Buetcher) went south (and subsequently fell off the planet), and the Candle Stick Maker stayed put in the Tub, so he wouldn’t drip tallow on his toes.
Once safely in America, Hitler disguised himself as a Zookeeper, for the Fox Network.
Later he went through a sex-change operation, gave his name as Hitleretta, became bulimic, lost 75 pounds, died his hair blond, and became a talking headed, bitch-pundit and “author” of a poorly written, badly conceived bit of historical revisionism called, KILL ALL THE LIBERALS (? What is a Liberal anyway?) which after reading left one asking, “What’s wrong with that woman?”, or “Why do some women wear bras, while others wear their ice skates on their heads after dark?”
In her/his first book Hitleretta defends Bush and Joe McCarthy, as heroes maligned by “Liberals” (? what is a Liberal?), Genghis Khan as a true Christian, Caligula s/he says was actually, despite history, a virgin and a mystic, and Nero truly, deep down where the moon doesn't glow, was a misunderstood short-order pizza baker, wanting desperately to be a Big-Time chef in a Roman Sidewalk Bistro-Café’ , and accidentally burned Rome to the ground during an innocent experiment trying out a new BBQ Basting sauce, while BBQing Christians outdoors at the Coliseum.
Meanwhile, the Bushites attacked, with phosphous bombs and then naplam, a day nursery, on Broadway, feeling they were soft on noise-terrorism, initiated by loud-mouthed infants, who kept screeching. They napalmed the nursery for weeks. Then in a dramatic show of the sort of bravado the president displayed when his co-pilot landed his plane on a carrier and Bush elbowed him out of the way to shout, “Mission accomplished,” he rushed into the nursery wildly firing an Uzi as he went, but he was close-lined by a 105 lb. Child care worker, Minnie Finnie, as 12 five year old’s gang tackled and threw up on him. Later petulant and embarrassed, as he was held as a hostage by the toddlers and Minnie Finnie, and they forced him to teach them cheerleading, before they would allow him to wash off the kid-vomit. They freed him only after their demands were met, the White House agreeing, reluctantly, to give them a year’s supply of Puppy Chow for their pets and Hershey Bars for the toddler's as well as a signed autograph of Adam Sandler.
Later, Bush adopted Hitleretta as his son and mentor, but they had a falling-out over the concept of using minced or fresh onions in Macaroni and Cheese-Bush taking the Conservative view and Hitleretta the Liberal.
In the strategy for winning of the faked elections of 2000 & 2004, the Bushites took the following approach, breaking with accepted wisdom about humans, they used a marketing tact, going against Professor Jahni’ Beerschmegle, who believed that mankind was divided into two groups, Hosts and Visitors, the Bushites took the unpopular, avant-garde’ approach that instead, mankind is divided into two groups, males and females, though neither of which realized it, until they were all naked.
Infuriated with the Bushite position, Beerschmegle broke with them and sat in the White House hall on his hat in protest refusing to eat anything but Nougat and figs until the Bushites changed their minds. When the Bushites laughed and hooted at him, he threw warm custard at them, hitting Rove above the left eye and gooking up his glasses.
This led to the infamous, Drug Company fiasco, which we will investigate next week.

CORNERING RATS

CORNERING RATS
Human vermin feigns courage when it has power on its side, especially if that power includes killing machines and blindly foolish, unthinking, cowardly, sycophants, who carry out orders, some gleefully. Men and women of true courage pick their fights carefully and demure from fighting unjust battles. We have decent, honest, wonderful young people in our military, people who have been lied to, betrayed, by their leaders, and we have the pirates-the driving force behind the evil war, above them, profiting every step of the way and by every drop of the blood of our fighting men and women, wasting their talents on a war for the profiteers in Washington and elsewhere.
There are those who love to kill and to torture. They are brainless, conscienceless men, greedy men, hypocrites, sadistically violent men, whose milieu is unjust wars with plenty of private fortunes to be stolen. However, they usually stay well out of harm's way, hinding in bunkers, like the cowards they are, while others die so the cowards back home can get richer. There is not room either in government or the military for cowardly men and women.
America, its past glory and altruistic purity, besmerched by its present evil empire builders in Washington, but heartened by the election of 11/07/06, desires only those most like the men of WW II, great leaders then in Washington, and reluctant warriors, because those are the best and most conscientious warriors.
Corner rats and what do they do?
Shorn of their support and weapons they show themselves for the cowardly, vermin-bullies they are-sadomasochistic rats, cornered, and when they are cornered, knowing they may go to prison or even face the same fate as Saddam Hussein, the death penalty for war crimes, they stop at nothing to destroy themselves and those who oppose their evil, avaristic will.
Be it known that the War Criminals in Washington, will do anything, whether, illegal, evil, despicable or treasonous, to buy their way out of the mess they have created for themselves. The president's Daddy is trying to once again get him off the hook, still unwilling to face the truth of Abram-the lesson of Abram and Isaac is not that he was to kill his son, but that no one, no thing, not even flesh and blood should be placed above the law of God. He who would sell out his country his Constitution, for ANY reason other than for the will of God, is a traitor, but he who would sell out his God for a traitor is worse.
GW Bush faces, in the eyes of God's prophets, no lesser fate than did Hitler. He can wiggle here on Earth, and he will, but he has no real belief in God, if he did, he would spend every waking hour praying and attempting to undo what he has done. He would turn on his manipulators, instead, this one, in panic realizing that while his body occupies space on Earth, his soul is now burning in Hades for causing 1,000,000 casualties for no reasons other than greed, contempt for his fellow creatures and his God, and vengeance, will wreak havoc on all. He may yet attempt to provoke an Incident of disaster, or he may stage one if he can. He may yet call for Marshall Law, and treat American streets as he has treated Iraqi Streets.
Long ago my grandfather told me, if you are tempted beyond your capacity to demure, to sleep with a married woman, never think to marry her, for she will do to you what she did to him-cheat. Bush having done sadistic evil onto Iraqi’s will think nothing of doing it onto you. He will call out the army or the National Guard to attack Americans in the name of “security.”
Already one of his supporters who wishes to be president wants us to rethink the concept of freedom of speech. He would be tarred and feathered if people took him as anything but a large Diarrhea mouth, with a small, constipated, generator of common sense. If he had any common sense, or love of freedom, which God bestowed in most Homo-sapiens, he would view his himself as others do.
However, considering the source-a flapping mouth and an inability to foresee the repercussions of such treasonous words, spewing out publically and perhaps infecting children, he should be censured (Not censored) for his own good. If I were a host of a talk show I would replay those words he spoke on air, several times a day, every half hour.
The Democrats need also to find their soul and dump support for the evil of abortion. It and those who support it have dragged us into this morass. Bush is their fault, because they supported abortion, the Progressive Catholics and Protestants were abandoned and went over to Bush-for that I blame the “Freedom of Choice” people because they threw the nation and its nobility to demonic wolves, for their own, personal reasons. They believe, misery loves company, so perhaps they hope that if everyone is guilty, none will be punished. None may be at any rate, if one is sorry for their errors. God's Heaven, is not a Democracy, but an open and sensitive, Monarchy and it welcomes those who repent.
Cut loose this Millstone from about the necks of the party or it will sink again and us with it. We forgive those who've had abortions, as they forgive us for our errors, but now make peace with God and forget it, reinstate yourselves, go on with your lives and stop justifying what you did. The choice is yours. We ask further that all Religions treat women and their unique problems and gifts, with sensitivity and honor, and stop manipulating them.
I put no faith in corrupt Organized Religions, whatever their agenda, whatever they call themselves. I place my faith in the eternal immortal God, which no Organized Religion represents. Prophets are scattered about the Earth, and only men and women here and there, represent the message of God, not people in government, not in the hierarchies of churches or industry.
A prophet cannot be ordained, anointed, hired or elected, by any human entity, corporate or otherwise, for only the Living God can anoint a Prophet, and God anoints as prophet, those who men would never anoint-that in itself, tells you what Organized Religions lack-they lack the ear of God. Only God's anointed have that gift.
Impeach or Indict Bush, Rove, Cheney and the rest now, or watch them turn American streets into a replica of the streets of Iraq, running red with the blood of Americans. Impeach, disempower and cart off to the Pillories those who would sell, and who, with the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act of 2006, already have sold out the Constitution and The Bill of Rights for Profit and Power.
Mr. Gingrich is now speaking as the puppet of Satan. By their fruits ye shall know them-you heard what he said, “time to rethink freedom of speech” what more do you need to hear from these fascists before you reject them and all they stand for?!
Lastly, reinstate the draft.
Thus sayeth The Lord!

GOD DEMANDS REPARATION FROM THE FASCISTS, AND THE TERRORISTS NOW!
Thursday, November 30, 2006
GOD DEMANDS REPARATION FROM THE FASCISTS, AND THE TERRORISTS NOW!
GOD DEMANDS REPARATION FROM THE FASCISTS, AND THE TERRORISTS NOW!
That’s right! He wants all terrorists, including Bin Laden, Bush, Cheney, Blair, and the contractors, and profiteers, including the private security firms and the private investors like the Carlyle group, the corporations, like the oil companies, the gas companies, the electric companies and the energy companies, to give back every penny they made on and during this war, to the people of Iraq who have lost loved ones and means of making a living, and to the parents and other survivors of Americans, killed, wounded, and traumatized by a president which represents an avaristic, greedy, sadistic, brood of pirates.
He wants that now, with no excuses from any of those involved, and he wants many of the above companies dissolved, so that no one can ever make a dime on phony, private wars. For every penny any of them keep, they will spend a hundred years in Hell.
More than that, He wants the pope, who lacks foresight and who supported this evil, to shut up and resign.
He deplores that our brave men and women, have been misused, lied to, and made to act as a private army, without their knowledge, all while making far less than the privateers, and private security operatives who are allegedly driving armor-clad, air-conditioned BMW's and better protected than our troops. All of this, He says, paid for by American families, so that corporate thieves could steal from the Iraqi people their oil and their other businesses, and from Americans their treasury, by the use of No-Bid Contracts. He wants no-bid contracts to be eliminated from our lexicon and use.
He wants American families, given reparation as well, in class-action lawsuits against those who caused them pain and suffering, as punitive damages for their misuse and for being terrorized by their own government, a government to which alert men and women believe to be attempting to provoke attacks on us, in order to stay in office.
He wants Iraq rebuilt by Iraqi builders, engineers and architects, and he knows that many of the murders in Iraq have been of men and women who were witnesses to evil acts and some who had the skill to rebuild Iraq, union members and others, but were murdered so pirates could profit even more.
He also knows that the evil men in Washington have planned for Israel to be used as a hostage target to provoke an attack on other nations by the pirates, especially from Iran and Syria, and that He does not want His Holy People to be a target for the profit of a handful of American, British and Saudi investors. Nor does He want the enemies of America and Israel to provoke war by murdering more innocents anywhere in the world. If they do, they will wish they had never been born.
He wants the "terrorists" to know that they were lied to by their leaders and that there are not 72 virgins waiting for each of them only demons and voracious disease infested, human eating, whores, who tear apart anyone who kills non-combatant, unarmed women, children and men, and those they tear apart will be reincarnated to suffer it all over again, then will spend a thousand years in that "Groundhog Day" Hades for each person these misinformed murderers, killed or injured. Lesson? Do some research before blowing yourself up, or better still, ask those who are preparing you for your suicide bombing, why they are not doing it themselves.
He wants Bush and Cheney and Blair, to resign, and for every day they spend in office beyond today, unless they repent and make full and entire reparation, they will suffer horrors in Hell they could never imagine. He followed that up by telling me, “That is all… for now, Peter. However, I will be getting back to you soon.” And since He chooses to do most of these Revelations in the wee hours of the morning, He wakes me up to tell me this stuff, so please do as He says right away, so I can get some sleep-please?!

'TIS THE SEASON?
For those who do not suffer from the worst evil to ever plague man and the only one of the Seven Deadly Sins not punishable by law-AVARICE, this Christmas Season, is not so jolly. To have leadership which worships and covets oil, wealth, and loves mayhem, mass-murder, unimaginable war crimes, whose leader's IQ is below that of the national average allegedly by 20%, and whose morals rank even lower, by our observation of those evils for which he stands, and whose contempt for everyone including the Creator is evident to anyone whose IQ is above that of a Kumquat, electing such a degenerate is inconceivable in a nation which once prized morality and intelligence and generosity.
Thou shalt not kill! That is pretty straightforward. There are no if's, and's or buts, simply don't kill. But NOT to a man and his friends whose life's blood is capital punishment, torture, murder, and certainly NOT to Avaristic sadists. Hey! To those too dense to get it, "Preemptive War" against a nation sans air force and navy, is premeditated murder of a basically unarmed people. To lie to the American people-to the world, about the rationale for mass murder and stealing of the national treasury of two nations and turning it over to no-bid thieves, breaking all of the 10 Commandments and all of the 7 Deadly Sins, is so incomprehensible, when one compares it to the honorable battle in which we struggled in 1941-1945, as to be surreal.
For 1,000,000 non-combatant bystanders casualties, many of them children, women and the elderly, of which 655,000 more are dead than in the five year period prior to their invasion by a nation which calls itself Christian, there is pause for thought-thought of blood-thirsty hypocrisy of some American "Christians" who support mass-murder, and what is it exactly, which sits in the skull, where their brains are supposed to lie. True, some were confused by a lackluster campaign, no, more a campaign of dunces, run by The Gore and Kerry teams-teams that stupidly supported abortion. We wrote them during the election that they should not do this, and should do that, dump, this and scuttle that, but noooo.
Well, when talking to those practicing above their competency and understanding, one finally has to acknowledge it is (and it was) a waste of time.
The only remedy against those who have stolen our honor is to take it back. Impeach the bastards, indict the bastards, and convict the bastards, and take back every penny they and their contractors have stolen and to exile those who as contractors had any part in this the worst horror ever foisted upon America and the World.
As for the pope and the misguided others who supported them, there should be a special place to cleanse them if they made an honest mistake, but if their vote was based on their financial interest's, or religious or racial hate, there is a special place in the Last Judgment by Michelangelo and I have recreated it in my website.
For the rest, my friends who had faith in my prediction before the invasion, that there were no WMD's and no connection to 9/11/01, God bless you and keep you in this holiday season.

AS PROMISED-THE INFAMOUS DRUG COMPANY FIASCO
There was this drug company and it had a fiasco…(That is how I wanted to write this story, but they wouldn’t even let me, so here is how I wrote it.)
A friend who is a research supervisor at Drughem, Drainhem, Intoxifyhem and Buryhem Inc., the manufacturer of drugs, pesticides, solvents and toxic waste, gave me this story.
What do they make, you ask? That IS the product-they simply manufacture toxic waste as in the Quiz-show line “Congrats! You won a Toxic waste garbage disposal Unit and a years supply of non-disposable, toxic waste.”
How do they know it is toxic waste they are making?? Simple, first, they flood streams, aquifers and wells, with pesticides, nuclear waste, solvents and herbicides. And then they wait to see how many babies are born with the antlers of a moose, the head of a collie and the IQ of a avacado.
Then they use what’s left to advertise as cures for a variety of common maladies, and even for simple human inconveniences, like: Blinking, sleeping, not sleeping, eating, not eating, being too ugly, too handsome, being too smart, or too dumb, for having too much anxiety, or being too calm, snoring or being unable to snore like a normal goof, having too much sex, (an addict? I can think of worse addictions.)
One commercial goes: “Are you always looking for a corner out of sight, in which to pee? When you do if a pretty girl walks by and you turn your head to look, do you often pee on your shoes? Do you sometimes find yourself tapping your fingers, or twisting your curls? Do you, when addressing strangers, if asked an innocent question like, where is your keeper, perform a series of sudden cartwheels, or do you resort to tomfoolery?”
If so, you may be suffering from Sillywillieness syndrome. Never heard of it you say? Aha, that is another of its most insidious symptoms! You may need SillyWilly Hydrochloride (SWH). With SWH, as soon as you are asked a question of any sort, even in the classroom, the cartwheel is intercepted in mid-air and you are suspended there until the next question, after which the cartwheel is resumed, but sideways.
Another drug is for watery eyes and sneezing. God forbid that you should have the inconvenience to sneeze, or cry. Now, when your eyes dry up and your sneezes start backfiring out through your ears, they add a drug which floods your eyes and eventually the room, and allows you to start sneezing again, but through your navel. This propels you around the flooded room like a jet boat until you reach the door.
One drug is for those who have trouble with sex, it is called GYTITUP HCL (or GTPH). It advocates that if you have an attack of priapism, which lasts four hours, or more see your doctor for a cure to the problem immediately! I say if you have an erection for four hours or more take a time-lapse video of it to show all the guys and then take out an ad with pictures in every women’s magazine on the planet, soliciting their help in curing the problem, even if it takes days.
They have another drug for constipation. The side effects are that some people start "going" for days at a time, until their wives put them in the barn with the horses. (Some of the wives whose husbands are suffering from chronic priapism (with or without GTPH) are also putting their husbands in this barn.
They also have a drug for women who suffer from lazy libido. It emits synthesized pheromones of the African Great Ape, the wild stallion, the German Shepherd, and the Musk Ox, and so powerful is it that neither the women nor the male object of their affection can resist its sexual motivator. It is called FRIGIDNO HCL (FGDNO HCL); it stimulates their libido until their husbands begin to whine in a strange tongue and are struck by fear and terminal flaccidity.
The husbands of wives, who have become drug-induced, chronic Nymphomaniacs, have now resorted to sticking their wives in the same barn as described above.
In the TV commercial, the side-effects are explained as only occurring in less than 90% of the patients, pleasantly sing-songed to the tune of “Someday My Prince Will Come”, while the women are told by a soft voiced motherly announcer, that, “You may experience fatal episodes of death-call your doctor or an undertaker should this occur.
Also, beware of certain attacks by humping dogs, which are strangely attracted to women who take FGDNO HCL, and, oh, yes, try to avoid visiting zoos which have Musk Oxen, Apes, Stallions, and Wild Dogs. If you should become pregnant and give birth do not be alarmed if your first born more resemble a whinnying dog with a mane, the hairiness of an ape, the face and the odor of a Musk Ox, because with each succeeding litter, these anomalies will decrease and become more humanlike, until offspring merely resemble a hairless ape with a mane and the face of a hairless Musk Ox which barks and whinny’s.
They also have a drug for laziness, which motivates you to action. One guy shoveled manure out of his barn for 48 consecutive hours, then scrubbed it clean as a whistle, remodeled it, equipping it with 10 bedrooms and showers, of which the priapist’s and nymphomaniacs who were banished there by their mates, met and made good use.
With all of this sex occurring, they came up with a drug for women to prevent pregnancy and avoid their period. It is made from the venom of the rattlesnake and the Black Widow Spider, and is called BARREN&DEDLI HCL (BRD HCL)
In their commercials, a soft voiced man or woman, speaks gently to the tune of : “Someday My Prince Will Come, But I Hope Not Very Fertilely”, with a very pleasant, calming voice, casually, but in an upbeat and matter of fact manner informs prospective buyers of the drug, that: “Do not be alarmed if each month instead of a period, you begin to shed your skin, and if right after sex you attack and sting to death your mate. These are normal side effects of the drug and are nothing about which to be concerned. Besides this tendency will lessen in time, and if not we will supply you with an anti-venom to inject into him right after sex.
"Also do not be concerned if on occasion you have yearning to grab and eat spiders, flies and other small insects, after all it didn’t seem to effect Renfield that much, until Dracula bit him again.”
Overall, I do not think public advertising is too bad. So what if it undercuts physicians and seems to promote drug addiction? We have street drug dealers, why can’t your neighborhood pharmacy be in on the action, legally? And so what if some doctors allegedly receive some form of kickback for prescribing drugs, don’t Pimps get a fee for their services?

WHY ISN’T BUSH LISTENING? HAH, ARE YOU KIDDING?
Note: The term Neo-Fascists applies to anyone who advocates force over reason, who espouses the elimination of Habeas Corpus and freedom, especially of the press. If the shoe fits..., a rose by any other name...!
Even now, no one gets it completely. Everyone; senators, representatives, those who wish to run for president, pundits, the DNC, the organizations which mobilized the forces that led to the 2006 Democratic victories, even most Republicans don’t get it… yet. It is but it isn’t just about the oil. It is and isn’t just about sadomasochism. It is and isn’t just about fascism, and it certainly isn’t about Christianity, but as long as the Neo-Fascists can make use of Christainity, they will pretend it is about Christianity.
Decades ago I had a dream; tanks in the streets at night, bumper to bumper, like in a parking lot, going by my window at eye level. I’ve had that dream several times since. In the dream, the fascists had taken over America. They had provoked attacks upon Americans to stampede and disorganize the people, and keep them in a constant state of war, and terrorism. Then, once ignited, the flames of the new Holocaust were kept alive by Neo-Fascists pouring kerosene on the fires instead of putting them out.
To the Neo-Fascists, in my dream, murder, shock, awe, terrorism and war were the tools of disorganization of the masses, rendering them incapable of fighting back or even knowing whom to fight, and while they are busy being bewildered and scared, the Neo-Fascists have and will continue to steal them blind.
In my dream, the stock market plummeted and a depression blossomed; millions were out of work and starving across the planet. The Neo-Fascists led America into one war after another, refused to listen to anyone, and simply ignored morality, ethics, law and everyone was amazed, and few tried to stop them. The Bushites manipulated Israel into war, and dragged America in as well. They ignored all studies and cherry picked suggestions for foreign diplomacy, so they could continue The Treasury Rape of The Ages and the complete annihilation of Freedom and equality.
In that dream, in each country where the Neo-Fascists had spread panic and war, they stole everything of value; mortgages, bank accounts, stocks, land, homes, businesses, and auctioned everything off to their friends. They simply ignored the law, made new laws destroying Democracy, and put into place their version of royalty, made up of weathy industrialists, and packed the courts with fascists, and followed up with unconditional rejection of any dissent. They simply destroyed anyone who questioned them or got in the way.
Terrorists and soldiers had long lists of enemies in America and they went door-to-door assassinating or capturing those on the lists. They enslaved the strong and the rest, millions, tens of millions, they slaughtered.
In the dream, in no time a handful of American and British Fascists, owned everything of value, which existed. It was an Old Testament slaughter, ban, rape and steal. If anyone protested, they were murdered and there was no one to stop them. The number tortured exceeded the grand total of all people who were ever tortured in the history of the world.
I dreamt it again last night.
In these dreams, there were alternative versions, and in one, the Neo-Fascists extended the shock and awe and expanded the war until they are stopped by indictment and impeachment. They wanted not just the oil, but complete domination of YOU. They also wanted the power and freedom they denied others, and they wanted everything you and everyone else owned. The Neo-Fascists pals hadn’t even begun looting world treasuries. They wouldn’t stop until they had it all, everything everyone ever owned and until they had enslaved the entire world.
In that dream version, not a single Democrat got it, not yet, you could tell because they were trying to be reasonable with the Neo-Fascists . One cannot reason with sociopathic, demoniacs. They may learn too late. However, the leadership of the violence and freedom stealing, was be impeached, and indicted. They and all the industrialists, the lobbyists, all who profited by the war, would only do it again if they were not disempowered. They were all be stopped and put away where they could never do harm to anyone again.
WW II General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Douglas MacArthur and others, warned us about wealthy, "conservatives" and their ries to the Military Industrialist Complex, which combination ignited WW II, but no one heard and certainly, no one listened.
They didn’t listen before the war when prophets spoke out, just as they turned a deaf-ear when American Fascists in Ohio, Texas and elsewhere defended Hitler before and during WW II, and they are acting the same way now, as American fascists defend the Neo-Fascists the true, modern day Anti-Christs. Nancy Pelosi has lost her killer instinct to politeness, and aside from Kennedy and a few others, a silence has swept over the land.
This is 1932 all over again, and everyone is afraid to disagree with the Fascists, they've forgotten, "... all you have to fear, is fear itself...".
In my dreams, the Neo-Fascists had established their initial Dachau, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka-like communities, in countries they controlled or had bought.
First, they fed the death camps political prisoners, Democrats, Communists, trade unionists, habitual criminals, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, beggars, vagrants, then True Catholics, and when they had complete control, some bright spring morning, they turned on and ate the Christian Right for lunch . After that, they began shooting large numbers of dissidents in open fields and on city streets, planting evidence of terrorist materials on them or in their homes for justification
Later they created a more secluded and scientifically expedient method of killing. Extermination centers were established in other nations like Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt and elsewhere, and there and here they established Mammoth, mass-production Death Factories, spurred on by Christian Right Organized fanatics, before they too became targets of the Neo-Fascists .
Soon millions more died in ghettos, concentration camps (as enslaved laborers), and from execution, malnutrition, exposure, brutality, and disease. Aids and HIV were injected into many, for the Neo-Fascists to study. They would all die, which was nothing to the Neo-Fascists who have made murder and profiting from wars their way of life for generations.
Either of these alternatives may happen, depending on whether or not Americans wake up and perceive the parallels to Germany in the 1930's and 1940's. All of this may happen because Americans did not take the unmitigated evil of avarice, the plague of those wealthy who are greedy, seriously. “Greed is good”, we were told, and not just by Gecko in the film, WALL STREET, but by the government, even the church, which established its own private greed farm system, holding young, wealthy, Catholic, materialists up as an ideal. (Opus Dei?)
All of this, in the face of Jesus’ Rejection of the Temptation in The Wilderness and his constant criticism and rejection of avarice and excessive materialism, which followed the same pattern of God Almighty and the prophets’ own excoriating of those wealthy who were avaristic.
Avarice, the only evil without mitigation, has been hugged to the bosom of some Organized Religions, and the Bushite broken promise of Faith based initiatives may well have bought him the support of a pope.
However, all can be avoided in the following way: Prayer for the conversion of the violent, the bigoted, the avaristic, the blasphemous and the theocrats, and that failing by spring of 2007, for their indictment and incarceration.
Don’t you get it, America? The Neo-Fascists embody the Anti-Christ and they and everyone who defends them must be put away in a rubber room, with a large bath tub (rub a-dub-dub, lots of fascists in a tub) for them to float their rubber duckies and be kept in isolation, poverty, and chastity, forever. We can let them play Monopoly with fake money and war games like Risk with toy soldiers, just to keep them happy, but we can never let them out. Whatever virus is effecting their minds, cannot be allowed to infect others. Avarice is a physical/mental illness of the worst sort and those that have it must be quarantined and kept from reproducing more of the same and from harming any one else ever again.
We need to invoke Our Lady of Fatima as we did to convert Russia, now to convert America. Recall when She, the Mother of Jesus, dressed in white and golden trim, was taken door to door, for a gathering of neighbors to pray for the conversion of Russia?
I ask you now, to Pray as though actions were worthless, and take action, as though prayers were.
Pray and take action, until there are neither the incredibly never satisfied, mega-riche' nor the poor. Spread the wealth to those who lack it by taking it away from the avaristic who stole it from the rest of the world, as the Bushites are busy stealing it from us and the Iraqi's, with unforgivable gas prices and spending billions for murder....and ask God to forgive each of us for all our imperfections, and for everyone we have ever offended, and to forgive everyone who has ever offended us.
Forgive and incarcerate- lock up, the Evil Ones, and then in a creative act of Enlightened rehabilitation and protection of the innocent..., melt down the keys and throw them away.

WHY DON’T THEY GET IT? IT AIN’T THAT TOUGH TO GET!
They just don’t get it do they? Columnists, politicians, pundits, Liberals, Moderate Republican’s and Dems, writer’s for most newspapers, Online Bloggers, and Online Magazines, study institutes-think-tanks, all keep saying the war is senseless and they don’t understand why Bush won’t concede to pull out.
How freaking clueless can, they get? The war does have a purpose… to Bush the purpose is crystal clear, steal all the oil, all the profits, all the Iraqi businesses, auction them off to men without souls or conscience's and send two trillion in contracts to the No-bid thieves, which can later be funneled into the 2008 campaign-kick-backs that appear legal.
The Bushites are making new millionaires, billionaires all beholden to Bush. They have stolen a trillion dollars from the American Treasury, money taken from the poor, from Social Security, from New Orleans, from the middle class, and they are making Iraq a laboratory of what they mean to do here. They are practicing how to destroy the will of a people in a foreign laboratory which ultimate target is stealing as much money as possible right under the noses of the rest of the world. Stealing money best used to make better lives for the most people, which use is converted to make life, instead, incredibly more luxurious for a handful of fascists, and simultaneously, initiate the destruction of the will of American workers, children, mothers, grandparents, and young people.
Bush lied to manipulate America into a war, exposing to the world that Hitler's hypnosis of the German people, was not as much an anomaly as we thought. Now the No-Bid recipients don't have to hire a private army of pirates to attack Iraq. Bush, instead has sacrificed the lives and limbs of the sons and daughters of American families to enrich opportunistic, greedy, despicable, Slobs. He manipulated men who should know better, (our congressmen and the news media), men who did not perform Due-Diligence in the carrying out of their duties, some who never even read the Patriot Act before voting to pass it. They, including the Democrats who also were incompetent in the passage of the Patriot Act and The Military Commissions Act of 2006, should also be impeached along with the Anti-Christ, Bush. Lieberman, and Hillary included
I warned my congressmen, my friends and many in the media, there are no WMD’s, I said, because if they had them they would have used them, and even if there were no single nation nor coalition can sustain an invasion or mount an attack upon us. It would take the entire Euro-Union, Russia and China to mount a sustained attack and invasion of America.
When Bush took office, Secretary of Treasury, Paul O’Neil and Chair of the FED Alan Greenspan had agreed to take the 5.6 Trillion surpluses which Clinton had accumulated, and put 3.6 trillion into Social Security. It never happened, Bush had spent the money on his corporate pals before O’Neil or Greenspan could move it.
Clinton was blocked by the Republicans from dispersing the money and so later were Greenspan and O’Neil. The whole 5.6 Trillion, plus all the war budgeted money, more than 2 trillions, went to a handful of already multi-million-to multi-billionaire Neo-Con industrialists.
This war as much about taking away money that should have gone to the American people, and for programs such as Social Security, Healthcare coverage, Jobs, small businesses and eliminating outsourcing, as it was about oil and stealing the Iraqi people blind. Bush won’t get out because he hasn’t drained Iraq completely and he hasn’t as yet set up the situation, which if the Fascists win in 2008, if Bush is not impeached, indicted, tried and sentenced, for his war crimes against the Iraqi's and against our own troops, and his economic crimes against tens of millions of Americans, America will look like Iraq in five years.
The spying on has nothing to do with stopping terrorism, Bush wants a terrorist attack so he can blame the Dems, and he will precipitate or stage one if Bin Laden, still Bush’s good friend, doesn’t pull one off.
The spying on our internet travels, Email, Phones, Snail-mail, library books lists, and more, has nothing to do terrorism and everything to do with grabbing dissidents and getting rid of them so all that will be left are Neo-cons, Right-Wing traitors, fascists, most of which will grow into Nazi’s.
Either GW Bush has lied about life and death decisions or he is dumb, foolish, or psychotic, and therefore incompetent, so he is not trustable. When a man puts private, profiteering above altrusim, he can be trusted in no endeavor, to do the right thing, therefore, I beleive we may see a civil war if Bush does not get what he wants by 2009. That is why he must be stopped, so Nancy Pelosi, and the rest, wake the hell up for crying aloud! This attitude of white kid-gloves treatment of a murderer, the Anti-Christ, who may be the new Hitler, looks more like cowardice than politeness. You cannot reason with a Demoniac!
Get your heads out of the sand and go after that war criminal and get him out of office or we will all live to regret it!

The war does have a purpose… to Bush the purpose is crystal clear, steal all the oil, all the profits, all the Iraqi businesses, auction them off to men without souls or conscience's and send two trillion in contracts to the No-bid thieves, which can later be funneled into the 2008 campaign-kick-backs that appear legal.

A FAST PROPHECY CONFIRMATION

In my contention that Bush knows exactly what he is doing, I write:
WHY DON’T THEY GET IT? IT AIN’T THAT TOUGH TO GET!
Below Chris Floyd mirrors the contention in my artcle of Saturday, January 06, 2007, of the above title in red. See my blog predictions a few scrolls down from these suggested readings.
| New Oil Law Means Victory in Iraq for
Bush
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/010807A.shtml
Chris Floyd reports: "The reason that George W. Bush insists that 'victory' is achievable in Iraq is not that he is deluded or isolated or ignorant or detached from reality or ill-advised. No, it's that his definition of 'victory' is different from those bruited about in his own rhetoric and in the ever-earnest disquisitions of the chattering classes in print and online. For Bush, victory is indeed at hand."

CELL PHONES, IMPLANTS AND MICROWAVE OVENS

CELL PHONES, IMPLANTS AND MICROWAVE OVENS
A friend recently lost his cell phone. I told him that when I was a little kid I kept loosing my mittens, so my mom clipped huge safety pins to my sleeve-cuffs, which she attached to the mittens, and it worked out pretty well. (From my mom’s point of view, however from mine, when the other kids saw the mittens attached they beat me about the head and neck with their mittens, with hands inside).
He quipped that he’d seen the new ear-clip phones making people look like someone out of Star Trek and that maybe he should get a phone implanted right in his brain. I avoided saying that first you need to have a brain, and instead volunteered the following:
I know a guy who does implants but only phone chips or brain implants, however, the hitch that his eyesight is really poor these days, and he likes to snack during his surgeries, so often he grabs, instead of phone chips, potato chips, which probably, depending on your point of view, could be good or bad. IE-if you have any head leaks and you don't mind soggy chips when it rains, that might be good. On the other hand, you still won't get any phone messages, and of course, there are still other issues, for instance, if you aren't already hearing a ringing in the head, you will be after the implants. Take me for instance; I hear ringing all the time. I used to constantly run to the door, the microwave or the phone, now I just stick cotton in my ears. Doesn't stop the ringing but does remind me that it’s literally all in my head with the potato chips.
The drawback is that when the phone, or the doorbell, or the micro wave are actually ringing and I don’t answer, my friends come over and beat me about the head and neck with the doorbell, the phone or the microwave.
I don’t like electronics anymore, do you?

HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, WAR FOR NONE...

HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, WAR FOR NONE...
Our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, guarantees no corporation life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it guarantees life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as gifts of God to humans-men/women. That God, along with the documents I refer to in the next paragraph, has been ill-used and blasphemed by the current administration, which has for five years mendaciously hidden behind the flag and the cross, thus appealing to those of low understanding, lower bestial leanings and above average avaricious and violent inclinations.
This plan was developed by the professor out of a sense of justice and altruism and the he desires no compensation for this design, but does not want it to become the property of, or any association with, any insurance companies or other entities/consultants and no insinuation or redaction by profiteers.)
MEDICAL PLAN FOR A HEALTHY/WEALTHY AMERICA
Here is the general idea of the health care plan I espouse:
There are no premiums, because there will be no insurance company involvement.
Each man woman and child will receive his or her Social Security Card at birth, as usual. Each one, whether they pay Income taxes or not will receive an Alpha-Numeric income category/standing, recording the general range of their income or lack thereof, and each will be assigned an income level Alpha-Numeric Index Card denoting their income category. If their income changes to move them out of their previous range, their alphanumeric card will be updated. When they are in need of medical care or medication, they simply present their Income Range card to doctor, hospital, clinic or pharmacy.
The plan can be implemented in one of two ways.
1)-No one, regardless of income, will pay anything but a moderate surcharge and the poorest will pay nothing.
Or
2)-Everyone will be charged on a sliding scale according to their income level excluding those under a certain income level.
Rationale and Funding Sources
Funding:
The funding will come a graduated corporate income tax based on ethical consideration for corporations.
Corporations which pay the lowest average salaries and benefits, those which outsource jobs overseas or off-shore, companies which manufacture toxic chemicals or create, as an after effect toxic waste, companies which leech or spill into streams, waterways or land, and/or make, sell, distribute or emit solvents, pesticides, herbicides, small or large arms and/or WMD’s, which includes automatic weapons of any sort, including side-arms and other toxins, to the general public will be heavily taxed, 100% of which would fund the HEALTHY/WEALTHY AMERICA plan because good health, brings wealth.
Those which pay the highest salaries, benefits and the most generous pension plans which are inviolate and escrowed, will be given mammoth tax credits and fall into the lowest tax brackets. In addition, total corporate compensation to executives will be limited to no more than 25 times the average income of ALL of their own workers, including their rank and file and independent contrcatorsall of those under any contractors with which they do business including out-sourced jobs whether to independent contractors, including all of the employees of those contractors, employees, or individuals as employees, off-shore, overseas, or to any other nation.
Nor shall they pay any overseas, offshore, or national of any other nation, or this nation, less than the prevailing wages, and benefits contracted in the USA. The figure of executive salaries being 25 times the average income paid all workers of any sort, whether their own employees directly or those of contractors, shall be all a part of the 25 times employee compensation for calculating executive salary schedule. The higher the benefits paid all employees, the higher the salary of executives, all of which is also tied to sales and profits. Executives in companies which do poorly shall be paid a sliding scale down from 25 times the average compensation of all employees.
These avaristic companies who try to avoid being their brother’s keepers, would possibly become the only remaining Income taxed entities in the USA. The plan would also save billions because it will/can also be tied to elimination of the IRS and all of its budget and taxes be generated by a universal sales tax plan which would exclude all necessities: Medical, medicines, food, fuel, communications: Telephone, Internet, DSL phones and all other communications systems, water, etc.
At the Heart: Criminalization of Avarice
We must begin to treat the disease of avarice, which is the largest cause of poverty and lack of education, if America is to survive. Democracy cannot long endure by feasting/cannibalizing its least fortunate citizens, whether here or abroad. ALL necessities of life must be provided for ALL of our citizens; rich, poor, senator or beggar and all must have equal access to the SAME healthcare plan-there must be NO discrimination. If there is not such equality of health care, we are shortly facing defrocking and disintegration as a just people. We have already taken many steps in that direction the last six years. The war was an excuse for piracy and genocide aimed at those of other than the Christian Right, (which is neither (Christian nor Right).
The plan as I have designed it, will cost our people-our citizens, (all of the more than 300,000,000), nothing. It will, however, cost the avaricious a great deal. Avarice, the only one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Ten (613) Commandments, when enacted, against which there is no criminal penalty. Greed Avarice is and always has been at the heart of evil. “Love of money is the root of all evil!”
We must change that, for petty theft and sexual adventurism pales besides avarice and the root cause of all evils. Recall that general Douglas Macarthur said that, “…Greedy, Conservative German and Japanese Industrialists agitated and manipulated to create WWII…” (However, so did arms dealers in America.) Also that General/President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his speech at JFK, said (I worked for JFK in Oak Park on his campaign after meeting him in his motel room at the airport before the election with a committeeman and my family) that, “… America must, "… Beware the Military Industrial Complex…” (Which was pushing him not to end the war in Korea)? For us to survive, avarice must be criminalized. Profiteering must end, and now
Neo-Fascism has destroyed Habeas Corpus, and therefore 9 of the 10 articles of our Bill of Rights through The Military Commission’s Act of 2006, and much of our Constitution, by the heinous and treasonous Patriot Act.
Therefore, herein we can kill two evils and one untenable dinosaur at once fell swoop, the evils of Avarice, and of expensive or unattainable healthcare, and the saurian IRS system).
Avarice must be recognized for what it is-a crime against humanity and therefore even without other crimes attendant should not be encouraged and should always be punished. Executive salaries should be stopped at 25 times the average salaries of all employees, foreign and domestic, including outsourced salaries, and all salaries and income should be capped at $1.5 millions a year.
It is avarice, which has led to this current and despicable slaughter of innocents. It is avarice, which has led to all wars and all economic prejudice. If those who commit this crime are allowed to continue to practice an evil that every major prophet of every major religion condemned, than those religions and we are living hypocrites.
Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and some of the Arab states are eminently more understanding, that creating products and services is a task shared by innovators, executives, staff, and rank and file employees and so should the rewards. Anything less is avarice and should be, like all the other crimes against humanity, criminalized. Petty criminals are arrested, prosecuted and often killed or wounded; yet those who steal millions/billions are excused from criminal behavior? Not on our new watch, they won’t.
I have been an active investor and a successful one and I can tell you resolutely that criminal activity in the financial markets is the NORM, not the exception. These should be excised from civil wrongs and be criminalized. Thieves should be judged by the amount they steal and from how many people they steal, the more they steal, the more people their stealing affects, the greater the punishment.

It is avarice, which has led to this current and despicable slaughter of innocents. It is avarice, which has led to all wars and all economic prejudice. If those who commit this crime are allowed to continue to practice an evil that every major prophet of every major religion condemned, than those religions and we are living hypocrites.
Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and some of the Arab states are eminently more understanding, that creating products and services is a task shared by innovators, executives, staff, and rank and file employees and so should the rewards. Anything less is avarice and should be, like all the other crimes against humanity, criminalized. Petty criminals are arrested, prosecuted and often killed or wounded; yet those who steal millions/billions are excused from criminal behavior? Not on our new watch, they won’t.
I have been an active investor and a successful one and I can tell you resolutely that criminal activity in the financial markets is the NORM, not the exception. These should be excised from civil wrongs and be criminalized. Thieves should be judged by the amount they steal and from how many people they steal, the more they steal, the more people their stealing affects, the greater the punishment.

YANKEES 70-YEAR OLD ROOKIE INVITED TO SPRING TRAINING AND DINES WITH GW BUSH!
Thursday, February 15, 2007
YANKEES 70-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE INVITED TO SPRING TRAINING, AND DINES WITH GW BUSH!
It was confirmed today that the Yankees officially tendered 70-year-old rookie phenomenon, Pete Bagnolo, an invitation to spring training camp and a contract through November 2007. The details and figures of the new contract were not released. Nevertheless, we do know that the day after he signed the new contract, Bagnolo, sold his VW BUG and bought an Acura NSX with the bonus. “My contract does have a strong incentives clause, so whatever it takes,” he said, in the interview, which follows.
“To what did you feel owed you owe great display of power and success?”
“I eat only organic foods. They have an organic cereal called Wheatioeiods! I eat it every morning. It keeps my strength up because I eat a stick to the ribs balanced breakfast, ham, eggs,… and Wheatioeiods! keeps me regular!”
Bagnolo, to everyone’s surprise hit .429, with 3 homeruns and 21 RBI’s in 25 games, with 3 hits and a walk in 6 pinch-hit appearances, including a pinch, walk-off, two run homer, thus starring in Rookie League Camp, The biggest surprise, however, was his 5 stolen bases and a sliding, triple.
When asked about this incredible performance for a man his age he simply said, “I just take it a game at a time, one base at a time, one pitch at a time, one girl at a time. Just kidding honey,” he said to the camera.
“Of course if I could hit two pitches at a time, or play three or four games at a time, and several girls at a time, that would be great, because at my age I could do a whole season in a couple of months and actually have a solid career before my arthritis acts up again.”
Asked how it felt to steal bases at his age, he said, “Well, with the first steal just before I started dating Tiffani, the 23 year old TV reporter, I needed oxygen, and I needed more oxygen after my first date with Tiffani. But now I feel just fine, scoring both on the field and off it!”
I asked Pete, if, was it wise at his age, to leg out a triple, and he said, “Leg-out a triple? I know of no other way to reach third base, excepting being dropped in a parachute. Don’t know if it was wise or unwise, but I sure was a-huffing’ and a-puffin’ when I hit the ground for the slide into third. My heart was pumping so hard they had to give me a tranquilizer.”
We asked him how he was able to hit the 98 MPH slider for a triple.
“He reared back and threw, and I closed my eyes tight and swung the bat in the general direction of the hum of the ball. He just happened to be throwing right where I was swinging, low and away.”
“Slugger, how do you think you will make out in New York, you are a native Chicagoan, and NY has a tough fan base.”
“The neighborhood I come from makes Harlem look like the Hamptons, so let them worry about me, not me about them. Besides I love the Big Apple!
“Slugger, Tiffani tells us that you are scoring even more often with her, than with the Yankees, and all with no Viagra help any more. That’s even bigger for a 70 year old Rookie, right?”
“You are trying to get me into trouble, with a capital “T,” which stands for Tiffani, anyway, you have my stats and I also scored 20 times, 40 if you count Tiffani. That’s big for a 70 year old.”
“Do you think you will be playing every day in spring training, slugger?”
“You’ll have to ask Joe about that, I couldn’t say. Strategy and personnel are his decisions. However, so far they’ve given me every chance. I am just tickled to have come this far. As I said, I’m just taking it one hot dog and one beer at a time.”
“Is it true that you had polio as a kid, paralyzed for nearly two years? How did you cope with that?”
“Better than I did when I went to an all-you-can-eat buffett and only could finish one helping.”
“We hear you went to famous athlete’s surgeon Dr. Mal Practiss. What was that all about? Are you injured?”
“Yeah, I pulled a nose hair. He fixed it.”
“Seriously, are you okay, your fans want to know?”
“Except for my nose, yeah.”
“Some say you are the spokesperson, the role model for the elderly, is that true?”
“I’d like to help them out, the ones who need help, but I am no role model for anyone.”
“I hear you spoke at a rest home and hospital for the elderly. What did you say, did you give them any advice?”
“In the hospital, I told those with bad hearts and high blood pressure NOT to watch our games. Don’t want anyone going into cardiac arrest over a ball game.”
“Did they ask you for anything?”
“Some 85 year old gal asked me to sign a jock strap for her. She said that many of her peers at the home who used to be Republican’s aren’t any more. They are afraid the fascists are going to take away the Social Security and Medicare from the elderly. I told them I would speak to the president about that.”
“Oh, that’s right, the White House paid you an honor, you were invited for dinner. What did they have?”
“They asked what I would like, actually, or if there was anything I could not eat. I told them I’d like steak, steak fries or cottage fries, no lettuce, instead, a salad of avocado, tomato, palm heart and heart of Artichoke, Feta cheese, a little garlic, fresh basil, oregano, a touch of plain rice vinegar and olive oil, with plain croutons, lemon crème pie for dessert and Chocolate Devils Food cake with hard chocolate or whipped cream frosting, or both, a bottle of O’Doul’s non-alcohol beer or Dr. Pepper and a pitcher of water with lots of ice. I said I never eat fish or seafood, hate it.”
“Did the president say anything to you?”
“He asked if Sammy Sosa would have a good year and how the Rangers looked to me. He also asked me how come I threw out five Ranger runners at home plate in one game.”
“What did you say?”
“I said, I wouldn’t be able to throw them out at the home plate, if they would only stop genuflecting when they passed his box on the third base line.
“I also said that Sammy looked good and so did the Rangers. I thought they would be tough this year, Then he asked about the Washington Senators, what do they need this year? I said, with Alfonso Soriano gone to the Cubs, they need to change the team name to the Lourdes Shriners, and pray a lot to Saint Bernadette for a miracle.”
“Anything else?”
“Yes, he asked how much I’d signed for and I told him, but made him promise not to say anything to the IRS. When he heard how much I was going to make this year, he said, "Wish I played baseball, that’s a Hell of a lot more than I make as president.”
“What did you say, then?”
“I said the famous Babe Ruth line, "Well, Sir, with all due respect, I’m having a Helluva lot better year than you are having, so far!" He said, "that’s fer damned sure! I wished I’d never taken this damned job. Now everyone hates me, except Dickie-Boy! What would you do if you were me?”
“Wow! The pres asking the 70-year-old Yankee rookie for advice! What did you say?”
“I said, are you sure you want me to do this? And he said, "certainly, go right ahead I am all ears. I started laughing when he said that.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s one of the few times he’s said anything truthful, and because when he grins, that silly, smirky grin, he looks like that guy in Mad magazine, Alfred E. Newman.”
“Did you tell him that?”
“Hell, No! I may not like the way he runs the country, but I was a guest at his dinner party.”
“What did you say?”
“I answered his question, but first I said, I would like to say all I want to without interruption or excuses. He agreed, so I said, 'first, fire Halliburton, then bring home the troops and hand Iraq over to the UN. Then have them, Bechtel, BlackWater and all the other contractors ante up and pay to the families of all the dead and wounded, Iraqi and American, WAR REPARATIONS."
“Fine those contractors every penny they profiteered and put the money into Social Security. Hire an independent council to investigate the reasons for going to war. Bring the three carriers steaming toward Iran, nearer to Iraq and evacuate our troops, before you evacuate the Contractors. Pass my HEALTHY WEALTHY AMERICA health care plan, by taxing the bejeepers out of companies, which outsource and those, which sell pesticides/herbicides to non-medical civilians, or for cosmetic use by anyone. Nationalize all companies, which deal in the necessities of life, and make them non-profit; I mean all the energy, fuel, water, medical, and food growers, and remove taxes from those industries. Fire the Vice President, the Attorney General, and Condi-Rice, put pressure on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to retire. Appoint a Blue Ribbon Panel of Bill Clinton, John Stewart, Paul O’Neil, Bill Gates, Mr. Gates Senior, Mark Cuban, and Barack Obama to oversee the Justice Department, the rebuilding of New Orleans, Iraq, turning the oil industry back into the hands of the Iraqi people, dissolving all American oil companies and turn the operations of them over to the major US universities, Hire President Chavez to oversee oil prices at the pump in America and lower the price to what it was selling for in Iraq, $00.05 a gallon, before the war and $00.12 a gallon now In Venezuela, legalize the use of Marijuana for those who are ill, fire, Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle and the other Neo-cons and bring some Nuns to the White House to run the charities for you. If I think of anything else, I’ll get back to you.”
“What happened then, what did he say?”
“He fainted and when he woke up he grabbed a bottle of Chianti and chugalugged it, and then fainted again. I left for home.”
“You have become in a few short weeks, an icon. You are going to be on the Letterman, show this week, Madonna wants you to sing a duet with her, Jessica Alba and Monica Bellucci want to make a movie with you, and the pope is asking if you would take over his PR. Everyone is talking about you, how does if feel to suddenly be so famous?”
“Depends on what they are saying.”
“They say lots of celebrities have invited you to parties. Among them Ms Paris Hilton. How about that?”
“She’s a stitch. Lovely girl. Except that she frequently likes to take a chive and herring bath. Her beauty guru says it’s good for her libido.”
“Is it?”
“You would have to ask her, that!”
“What about Tiffani, would you say she was a very deep, or philosophical, or religious young lady?”
“Deep? Yes! But mostly about fashion, but, Well, she did bring up God a lot.”
“How, what did she say?”
“She kept shouting, Oh God, Oh my God, don’t ever stop! Ohhh, God, Peter, Ohhh!”
“I see. Tell us about that triple play you hit into Tuesday with the bases loaded.”
“Bases were loaded and I lined into a triple play.”
“So, what did you think, then?”
“That I was out and that it was highly unlikely that we would score in that inning.”
“What did you hit on that pitch for a triple with the bags loaded?”
“A Spaulding Baseball.”
“What happened, then, yesterday after you hit the bags loaded triple in the 8th to put the Yankees in the lead and the Indians rallied to score 3 runs in the 9th to beat you guys.”
“We lost.”
“How is Tiffani, doing?”
“Ummm, Yes!”
“Thanks for talking to us. Now you get to go home to Tiffani?”
“YES! YES! YES!”

I am questioning if cancer is really is a disease. It certainly is not infectious, and I know that not all diseases are, but in the pathology segment of my BA and MA in (Physical) Anthropology, I stumbled onto ancient cases of various, so-called “modern” diseases and it got me wondering.
I label some of these so-called “modern Diseases” or these toxic “illnesses,” injuries, not “diseases.” I do so because much of the evidence seems to point to outside forces being responsible for many cancers and because it spreads much like poisoning does, throughout an organism. Yes, I am aware of the retrovirus claimed origin of some cancers and do not dispute that claim, here.
We do not call a bomb, which shrapnel injures people, an infection or an illness any more than we would call a bullet wound an infection or a disease-we call it a wound (though such wounds can become infected) a purposeful injury. I do not believe that many cancers are an organic infection, but instead a toxic attack on the human organism, a poisoning, but one which seems more closely resembling radio-active poisoning in its resistance to healing and its relentlessly toxic destruction.
Lead poisoning can occur from a bullet wound or from other sources such as paint, or ingestion, and although it can be treated successfully with anti-biotics, in most cases it is not considered a disease but an injury:
“One particular category of toxic tort is injury caused by exposure to lead-based paint.” Quoted from: http://www.civilrights.com/lead.html Website for Monheit, Silverman & Fodera PC, tort Personal Injury and class action lawsuit attorney’s
I will come back to cancer and it’s status or designation in a follow-up article, but I first want to pursue the industry, which has been singled out by law as the only official source for making proprietary, medically acceptable, prescription, drugs, without persecution, oops, I meant prosecution. Here, I believe once again in opposition to the concept of a free-market place is the hallmark-trademark of the fascist, the exclusionary, closed market place. It would appear that the same principles which created homo-phobia, racial-phobia, religious-phobia and every other sort of exclusionary barrier, also applies in the fascist state, commercial competitive-phobia, open, free-market, phobia, and fear of truth.
I believe many of the products which claim to be cures and treatments for diseases, those products are officially designated as “Legal-Drugs,” are no less dangerous than those of the major street drug dealers in America and may not have curative powers very much greater than what herbalists, “Quacks” and the toxic junk street-drug dealers sell.
Watch the advertisements of the pharmaceutical companies. Are they not focusing on many common human inconveniences, trying to make them appear to be serious diseases? Why? Is it because they are not smart enough to cure real diseases and they’d rather try to entice every stupid, vain bastard, and every poor hypochondriac in America into taking some sort of addictive drug, than to try to cure a relative handful of truly sick people? They are treating toxic injuries with toxic shock “remedies,” when there are no such remedies for anything. They are the real quacks, the purveyors of the twenty-first centuries version of, but deadlier than laudanum, or snake oil.
Decades ago they treated Syphilis with gold and arsenic. It either killed the disease or the patient, sometimes both. It was all they had and at the onset, they didn’t know any better. That is what the modern treatments for cancer are, unenlightened, but they know better. It isn’t so much that that this is all they have; it only is if one boxes oneself into a loosing paradigm. There may be alternatives, but they are not patentable. That is why the industry persists in creating drugs from toxins and Petro-chemical, residue, waste and byproducts, they can patent those, but not a natural product that anyone can find, sell or use. They have boxed themselves in by avarice, and at the same time us.
Their’s is a Defcon, End-of-Days method also, “we’ll only do this if we can get rich on everyone’s misfortune or we won’t do it, so you’ll all die while we profit or to hell with you all!” that, America, is the kind of people with which we are dealing, fascism at it’s finest.
They and their system are Hell bent and so are all who support it, and they know it, that is why they want those they treat to go through hell on some small chance of surviving. They are sitting on stuff that can be tested/researched, stuff that may heal or treat non-toxically, but they cannot figure out a way to patent that stuff, so it’s live and die by their profits and to hell with natural cures which cannot be patented. Maybe we need a new patent system, first come with natural cures gets the patent, but only if they share it with other companies. Perhaps all patents of drugs must be immediately shared with other companies.
Once again, we have the fascist hallmark-Exclusivity, at work. However, it is much more than just that. It is a most immoral development that a “cure” or “treatment” can be exclusively held by virtue of a patent. Sorry, but the approach is wrong, immoral and despicable, so is profiting from the poor health of others. It is a throwback to before Jesus’ time, when he put an end to the superstition that health and wealth was reserved for those families which were “sin”-free,” and everyone else must pay the piper.
Creating medicines for serious illnesses should be cooperative ventures which rally every resource in the world, not profiteering ventures for avaristic exclusionists. Every Major University on the planet should be involved to find the least toxic and best healing method, protocol, cure or treatment. That is why the idea of a corporate profit-motive is an evil one. I say the only moral way to approach healthcare is cooperative research, shared ideas, and no profiting on healthcare products or services, by anyone, ever again. There should be an end to petroleum byproducts being the only source for drug ingredients. The profit motive DOES NOT draw the best people, though it often may draw the greediest people, of low character, with the least resistance to temptation.
Which is why the oil drenched fascists in government support corporate profits on health care, and why they want to eliminate lawsuits against the healthcare industry, they don’t want to lose the business. The entire industry is corrupt. Off with their heads, every one! The current paradigm is an idea spawned in Hell.
What can you expect, from those who run the “legitimate Drug Dealing” companies? They are Bushites, selfish, greedy, evil, unenlightened, culpable, and unempathetic, monsters. (Some may not even be creations of God.) Can you imagine anything more evil than profiting on the misfortune of others? Other than war, that is?
The manner in which they announce the frightening side effects in commercials, in flighty, sweet language, is symbolically cynical at best, and the sale pitch is right out of the street dealers lexicon.
A CEO of one major Drug-Dealing, company allegedly said in an interview his goal was that every American be on some sort of drug his company makes for the rest of their lives. He wants a drugged out nation-so does Bush-1984, the great Orwellian conspiracy come home to roost. This is treason, pure and simple and not all that abstract! There is good reason to arrest Bush and his officers and drug company CEOs, and top officers including the one I quoted, under more than one of the various domestic anti-terrorist acts.
The side effects are often far more serious than the diseases they are supposedly designed to “treat.” “Treat” is the key word, here, a code word for, “Mask their symptoms, hook-em on drugs, drain their dough, and bankrupt their Medicare!” That is some motto the new corporate drug dealers have, but what is more enraging is that they are using doctors as their street peddlers.
Isn’t it interesting that everything on which the Mafia profited, and for which they were killed, jailed and tortured, because what they were selling was “immoral,” is now a part of the repertoire of fascist Big Business?
Many doctors are pimping drugs, which, in many cases, are more toxic than what is sold on the street. However, even more baffling is the readiness of doctors to compromise/sell their integrity for a hand full of green backs. Of course, one actually has to possess integrity, to compromise it, doesn’t one? Therefore, on second thought, sell is the better word choice. The last several decades we have been allowing the wrong sort of people to become physicians-people consumed by greed, who marry people consumed by conspicuous consumptionitis.
The sacred oath of Hippocrates, the code of medical ethics known as the Hippocratic Oath, is still taken today by graduating students in many medical schools, but it is a meaningless thing to greedy medical, nihilist, wannabe's lining up to grab the golden ring. Honor and altruism, like many things of the spirit, today are described by the avaricious fascists as, “just words, outdated and inapplicable in this modern era.” Anything, which blocks the gluttonous, wholesale swallowing of wealth, is irrelevant to the avaricious. Honor is also, under this paradigm, therefore without merit. The God we know is dead to such people. Their god is wealth. Honor of spirit ethics and holy morality, is dead, honor is being wealthy. Truth? What Pontius Pilate said about it, when he was but a small cog in one of the initial fascistic wheels, was never truer than now, “What is truth?”
Truth? What is it? It is dead, replaced by gaining wealth at any cost, mass murder, as now by politicians, for black gold, as long as the wealthy stay the paradigm, fascist, course. Hypocrites, the Father of the physicians, are irrelevant, dead, because he did not honor the Golden Calf.
Let us ask how many Americans are addicted to “Legalized Drugs”. Let us ask why this industry is attempting to entice every weak-minded, neurotic, hypochondriac and person with a problem yet undefined by researchers, into becoming an addict. Let us ask why the “legalized” drug-dealers and their pimp-street dealers; the doctors, hospitals and pharmacies world-wide have cynically taken to pandering to those with addictive personalities, in a treasonous effort to hook every American and later the world on maintenance drugs for life. That is certainly an easier way to control people than merely advertising, as they do now.
Let us ask how many Americans have been maimed, disfigured, crippled, emotionally, mentally and physically and how many have died in hospitals and elsewhere from drug reactions, or suffered side-effects, symptoms and diseases and “fatal events” from “Legal-Drugs” and inbred hospital diseases.
No wonder there is such harsh penalties for buying or selling street drugs and why the government, at the beckoning of the drug companies, are always after herbalists. The “Legalized Street Drugs” of the Pharmaceutical Industry want NO competition! Ask why the AMA and the drug companies don’t cry-out against the use of pesticides/herbicides and solvents, for all the damage they do humans. Couldn’t be because some of the largest drug companies also make the baby killing, pesticide/herbicide/solvents, toxins that may cause cancers, Alzheimers, and Parkinson’s, could it? Naw! Not possible, you say! Well, news is, they certainly do! Some of them make the toxins that cause cancers and then sell to victims, the toxic drugs they pretend will cure them but really just kill them slower and in greater agony. However, Hell, American arms manufacturers, as always, sell guns, phosphorous bombs, napalm, mines and other horrors of war, to us and to those who, if not already our enemies soon will be.
HOW ABOUT DROPPING THE CURRENT DRUG PARADIGM AND STARTING ON A NEW PATH?
Not a bad idea, such diverse and brilliant people; Thomas Jefferson, David Ogilvy, Picasso, Michelangelo, Einstein, and many others, offered the innovative idea that when something isn’t working, and even sometimes if it is, destroy it and take a new path because paradigms stifle innovation and discovery and keep the wrong people and the wrong products in place long after they’ve outlived what little usefulness they may have had or been fantasized to have had. In fact, the best idea was God’s Old Testament Ban-retire all the people attached to the old way, they only muddy up the works of the future.
Not that long ago, researchers were unaware of histamines and the role they played in the healing system or in Anaphylactic Shock. European scientists only discovered histamines in 1930. A French academic discovered the first Histamine inhibitor (anti-Histamine) shortly thereafter.
When threatened, the immune system sends histamines, antigens, and anti-bodies, to attack organic alien invaders, which sometimes backfire causing allergic reactions even the sometimes-fatal anaphylactic shock syndrome. In these cases, instead of battling an “alien” presence, our histamines attack, a non-alien, because it’s identification mechanism is not properly working, thus doing harm to its own system.
We have only identified a tiny percentage of the enzymes within our system, so we may not even be aware of other antigens, those that blindly attack inorganic or chemically or otherwise altered organic toxins, or blends of organic and inorganic materials. Therefore, isn’t it also possible, that we have another specialized immune system response-an antigen which is yet unknown to scientists? One, which attacks inorganic and organically altered toxins. One, which is a Defcon rallying, end-of-days for each individual who is attacked by a toxin the liver, and immune system cannot fight off. An immune system hampered, damaged, compromised by the inundation of toxins throughout the planet, all spread at the whim of profiteers or the Petro-byproducts and plastics industries.
PARADIGM CHANGERS, OR MERELY UNSOPHISTICATED MUSINGS?
Why are researchers not asking this question (or are they)? Since the heart muscle rarely, if ever has a cancer, why aren’t they analyzing the heart’s apparent immunity, and seeking to find out if its cells can be used to destroy cancers in other parts of the body?
I wonder why, when they are certain some cancers are the result of a (retro?) virus, and they know that heat is destructive to viruses, they do not treat those cancers with heat? Why not raise the ambient temperature and destroy the virus, or simply send an incredible burst of heat through a wire insulated only up to the point of contact with the cancer?
Don’t we know that Ultraviolet rays immobilize the living dead-those killer viruses? Why are we not experimenting with sending the blood of those with Leukemia through transparent tubes exposing it to sunlight and back into the body? Why aren’t we sending mini-ultraviolet ray projectors inside the body like the tiny TV cameras we use for inspection of interior organs, to destroy interior cancers? Is that feasible?
What we need in the medical field of research, is not avarists who go work for the criminal drug companies, but scientists who are detectives, for which profit is not the motive, for which discovery and cure of real, not imagined diseases, serious crippling, death-dealing, painful diseases, not merely silly inconveniences. To end the profit motive in legalized drug dealing, we need to nationalize the pharmaceutical companies and run-off the avariciously evil men who run them-turn the industry, in its entirety over to the major research universities. The more we nationalize certain industries, the more they will seek altruism instead of profit as their reward. There are plenty of industries which do not involve critical or necessary goods, which will be attractive profit makers, things of luxury, the things the avaricious, those whose souls are lost, will buy like pigs at a trough. Send the fascists, the avarists, there to work.
We need to weed out the fascists from our world and then brilliant, altruistic people will come eagerly to make this a world of brotherhood, not one-upsmanship. Altruism is from God, oneupsmanship and profiting from the needs and misfortunes of others is evil, avarice and of Satanic/Hitleristic design.
Like those in the White House and congress, whose souls are lost and are trying to drag us down into their world of apocalyptic insanity. The anti-Christ and his allies are alive and very sick with an Incubus Virus which disable the conscience sick and he writes twisted fictions about End Times, he writes and speaks twisted fictions, transposing them over sacred documents like those of various religions and our Declaration of Independence, Our Constitution, Our Bill of Rights. We need to break the old paradigm and start anew on finding medicines and regimen, which work without “side-effects.” To do that we need to weed out those heading the major drug dealers, in what is ludicrously called the Pharmaceutical’s Industry, evolution has passed by the avaricious, and has as it inevitably will and must, passed on to men of vision-visionaries who see God’s face in everyone and everything, and respect the planet on which we live and therefore defend it to the death against the insane intruders which seek to tear it apart.
We need to eliminate, send to sanitaria, the people of the various arms and legs of the Culture of Death. We need to outlaw certain types of organizations which protect avaricious Industries, which profit from those ill and dying and we need to continue to sue slovenly and greedy health care professionals and their industries until profit is no longer their motive. Until those who go into medicine for a living do not do so to become wealthy just as many professors go into their field without the concern about wealth, because if you love what you do, you will rise, but never ever should any industry give solace and comfort to those who enter to have their incomes guaranteed or protected above that of other professionals.
The smartest, most altruistic, people in the world are not always found in religious institutions, and seldom in medical industries or in politics, or in the commercial goods industries.
No, instead more are found driving taxicabs, teaching at universities and colleges, working for advertising agencies, working on construction, designing for architectural firms, engineering firms, writing, making movies, painting, sculpting, dreaming, cooking, staying at home and raising children, caring for others in many fields and demonstrating, without trying to, or planning to display their altruism, they nonetheless, innately show empathy for others less fortunate, rather than trying to take advantage of them or rob them blind, and such people are active in many walks of life.
They have not all migrated to the religious institutions, although many there are good people there, as many are not, nor the medical industries industry, although there are good people, as many are not, politics, although a few there are good people, many more are not, or the arms industry, or others, there are few also.
We need to break the mold, the paradigm of the entirety of the medical, industry, get it off the Dow Jones, off the NASDAQ, off the American Stock Exchange, out of the corporate world and into the universities as non-profit, necessarily protected from the avaristic and the fascists.
Well, this all begins to make my Income Status Card for my HEALTHY/WEALTHY AMERICA PLAN, package look even better, dump the offshore toxic garbage, chuck all plastics, and all fragrances and let's see, ummm, oh, yeah, tax the Hell out of the outsourcer's, to finance the HEALTHY/WEALTHY AMERICA PLAN hey, and maybe tax the out-gassers as well, otherwise your garage will be so crowded there won't be any room for your auto's.

Like those in the White House and congress, whose souls are lost and are trying to drag us down into their world of apocalyptic insanity. The anti-Christ and his allies are alive and very sick with an Incubus Virus which disable the conscience sick and he writes twisted fictions about End Times, he writes and speaks twisted fictions, transposing them over sacred documents like those of various religions and our Declaration of Independence, Our Constitution, Our Bill of Rights. We need to break the old paradigm and start anew on finding medicines and regimen, which work without “side-effects.” To do that we need to weed out those heading the major drug dealers, in what is ludicrously called the Pharmaceutical’s Industry, evolution has passed by the avaricious, and has as it inevitably will and must, passed on to men of vision-visionaries who see God’s face in everyone and everything, and respect the planet on which we live and therefore defend it to the death against the insane intruders which seek to tear it apart.
We need to eliminate, send to sanitaria, the people of the various arms and legs of the Culture of Death. We need to outlaw certain types of organizations which protect avaricious Industries, which profit from those ill and dying and we need to continue to sue slovenly and greedy health care professionals and their industries until profit is no longer their motive. Until those who go into medicine for a living do not do so to become wealthy just as many professors go into their field without the concern about wealth, because if you love what you do, you will rise, but never ever should any industry give solace and comfort to those who enter to have their incomes guaranteed or protected above that of other professionals.
The smartest, most altruistic, people in the world are not always found in religious institutions, and seldom in medical industries or in politics, or in the commercial goods industries.
No, instead more are found driving taxicabs, teaching at universities and colleges, working for advertising agencies, working on construction, designing for architectural firms, engineering firms, writing, making movies, painting, sculpting, dreaming, cooking, staying at home and raising children, caring for others in many fields and demonstrating, without trying to, or planning to display their altruism, they nonetheless, innately show empathy for others less fortunate, rather than trying to take advantage of them or rob them blind, and such people are active in many walks of life.
They have not all migrated to the religious institutions, although many there are good people there, as many are not, nor the medical industries industry, although there are good people, as many are not, politics, although a few there are good people, many more are not, or the arms industry, or others, there are few also.
We need to break the mold, the paradigm of the entirety of the medical, industry, get it off the Dow Jones, off the NASDAQ, off the American Stock Exchange, out of the corporate world and into the universities as non-profit, necessarily protected from the avaristic and the fascists.
Well, this all begins to make my Income Status Card for my HEALTHY/WEALTHY AMERICA PLAN, package look even better, dump the offshore toxic garbage, chuck all plastics, and all fragrances and let's see, ummm, oh, yeah, tax the Hell out of the outsourcer's, to finance the HEALTHY/WEALTHY AMERICA PLAN hey, and maybe tax the out-gassers as well, otherwise your garage will be so crowded there won't be any room for your auto's.

A BUSHITE WORLD WAR LOOMING!

A BUSHITE WORLD WAR LOOMING
WILL BUSH SOON BE FOUND TO BE FUNDING AND DIRECTING TERRORISTS TO PROMOTE WW III BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION, ALA GEORGE ORWELL'S 1984? JUST AS WE PREDICTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND SINCE!
GW Bush is planning to initiate World War III before the next election. There are several underlying reasons for his planned course of action and he has been making hints, slips of the tongue and rattling of his perennial saber over the last several weeks, taking the same tact of fear and solemn pre-WW III verbiage, which reflects somewhat that of pre-Pearl Harbor talk in the 1930’s. The Pre-Pearl arguments were justified, these are so ridiculous that one wonders, if this were a movie just released, how fast it would be laughed out of the theatres, or perhaps after screen tests, be withdrawn and made into a Saturday Morning Cartoon,
The situations between then and now are almost blasphemously different. The Pre-Pearl Harbor concerns were focused on two possible enemies, which then had the potential to do real damage to the US, and in fact later, did. This poor facsimile of war with Iraq and then with Iran is ludicrous-nothing more than a Yellow-Kid Wyle scam, so much like the pre-Iraq attack fear tactics that one wonders how foolish are those who believe it are, if any do.
It will take weeks, perhaps months before Bush actually attacks unless a genuine opportunity arises more quickly. He may, in an effort to make his Euro-Allies feel he is doing something to solve the problem diplomatically, wait out what will appear to be a reasonable period of “trying,” but his refusal to set up direct talks with Iran, are a clue to his real desire.
Some may ask; why does he want to attack Iran? The reasons are few and have little to do with the excuses he is currently giving. If history is a lesson, in the case of this president, the reasons for war will change repeatedly.
If we could see a copy of The Oil and Gas Law of The Iraq Republic, we would undoubtedly have part of the answer as to why we attacked that nation. A better oil deal, not however, for the citizens of Iraq and America, but for the Oil Companies of the US, Kuwait, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia and a few others. Certainly also more no-bid contracts for the Bushite friends and the family business, The Carlyle Group, which has profited so mightily from the current “war.”
There is more, however. In Bush’s latest speeches, his language is apocalyptic and biblical, sounding right out the Left Behind/Rapture fiction, which so many “Christians” apparently accept as sacred writ. He is making his case to win them over after some mild rifting, by making war upon another segment of the fastest growing religion on the planet, Muslimism. It was growing fast before the attack on Iraq and since it has been growing even faster.
Bush has performed four unexpected genuine miracles, so maybe he is the messiah. The first was actually getting people to believe his lies about “why we must attack Iraq.” The second was to get the same people to buy the same argument again. The third was to do what the Democrats could not do, to convert so many swing voters away from the Republicans, and the fourth was to win an election for the Democrats in 2004, a victory they don’t quite seem to know what to do with.
So, now, feeling he has the bible thumpers well in hand, the oil companies and No-Bid contractors, salivating (Hint to Dems, make No-Bid Contracts over $500.00 illegal.) with jillions in stolen treasury money from three nations pouring in (USA, Afghanistan and Iraq), no-bid contractor slush money at the ready, Bush will go forward with wary financial confidence.
He wants the war in full bloom for the 2008 election, so he can bamboozle the easily frightened, the drooling, slack-jawed and the clueless, and the “Christian Right” (which are neither Christian nor Right) once again into voting Red. Now the “Christian Right” can feel very confident that the illusion of religious and ethnic genocide against the hated Muslims is a reality, some might even enlist in military service for that, but I doubt it. That would be something many flag waving, bible thumping, “Christians” have assiduously avoided.
Bush has are three goals in mind, aside from the phony smoke screen of his embracing a Christian jihad and Renaissance. (The easiest way to end a fast growing religion which is not Christian Fascist, is to kill most of the existing offending Muslims, giving Christian Fascism a slight numerical edge. However, in so doing, my guess is that if God is not now a Muslim, that sort of injustice will be the fifth Bush miracle and force God’s conversion to supporting Muslimism. There are strong, ages old and continuing, historical evidence that God loves the ironic and in sharp reversal, will suddenly favors the underdog.)
The first thing in Bush’s mind is to get the oil. The second is to win in 2008 and the third is to attack victims, (2) Iran, (3) Syria, (4) Venezuela, and finally number (5) will be… Yes, the USA! Yes, Bush will put down an “insurgency’ among dissident Americans, by murdering most of them and create a Royalty/serf feudal economy right here in America, which then become the toxic work heaven replacing China, as China ascends to the place once held by America, of economic and military power.
A World War, Bush has been convinced by Cheney, Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle and Company, will give him the power and longevity of FDR. His first step after the war will be to implement Martial Law, which he has been diddling about with for the last four years. He directed the elimination of Habeas Corpus in 9 of the 10 points of the Bill of Rights. Then in true Hitlerian fashion, followed that up with sucking the Constitution dry and creating a New Theocratic Constitutional Convention based on his trio of inspirational books; Hitler’s Mein Kampf, Orwell’s 1984 and a degenerated version of both Testaments. There is also a chance that some “Christian” archeologist will “discover” a new version of the bible which cites Bush as Messiah, Jesus’ as an armed revolutionary Messiah, disarmed by frightened early church hierarchies to appeal to Constantine. This document may be “unearthed” in either Israel, or Iraq or some other conquered Mid-eastern nation.
The next step will be the initiation of a Theocratic National Constitution, overseen by an Inquisitional New World Order.
If you have been reading my columns and predictions in either my blogspot or on OPEDNEWS.com, or found them in major columnists quotes, or picked up by other news sources, you know that I predicted that, ala Orwell's 1984, Bush will be found, if an investigation is begun, to be funding terrorists to ensure an active enemy to provoke a World War. I have more than hinted that Osama Bin Laden or one like him may well be on the Bush payroll, funded by the billions in cash that have disappeared from Iraq. This will become known very quickly now, though I first mentioned it four years ago. This will be the time to invoke a Special Prosecutor.
There is only one way to stop Bush and it must be done quickly. A special prosecutor must be invoked and Bush Cheney must be indicted. Attempting to stop Bush with new laws, will fail because he has the right of veto and the Dems do not have the numbers to over come a veto, and they cannot count on the Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution or any lawsuits that may follow.
Although things look bleak, there is always the possibility of a sixth miracle, which would end the whole scenario, but I wouldn’t count on it. Altruism does not appear to be this congress’ or this Supreme Court’s long suit.
Well, Almighty Father, the ball is firmly in Your Court.

REPLY TO: THE GRAVE OF JESUS AND FAMILY (CAMERON)
Reply To: The Grave Of Jesus And Family-Cameron
THE GRAVE OF JESUS AND FAMILY
By Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo
Anthropologist, Theologian, etc.
Rabbi Yeshua, Joshua, (Jesus Ben Yoseph) was born in the reign of Herod the Great, sometime between 8-4 BC and died somewhere between 25-29 AD. The gospels were written: 1st-Mark's between 65-72 AD, 2nd-Matthews, between then and about 80 AD, Luke's about late 80’s AD, John's in 92-110 AD.
Because the extant gospels were not written until 36-85 years after the death of Jesus, it is doubtful that any of the writers of the gospels ever met Jesus or even, with the later writers, ever met anyone who ever met Jesus.
None of the writers, Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, were apostles, in fact no one knows their real names. Those names were added to the gospels by early church authorities to lend credence to the writings. (This is information that can be found in most unbiased bibles, like the St. Joseph New American Version, found in most bookstores.) Although it is possible, but only barely, that Mark was the Mark who sometimes traveled with St. Paul. There is also strong evidence that the writers were not Hebrews, but Gentiles, because of the many errors in Hebrew culture displayed in the New Testament.
The earliest gospels extant are copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, are in Greek, and date to the late second to early third centuries. There have been about 5400 manuscripts representing gospels found over the last 1700 years; some are small fragments, some more than that, some are complete versions. Over the course of those 5400 versions of the New Testament, there are many differences, ranging from subtle edits, redactions, and changes to major story insertions or removals and later reinsertions with and without changes.
There are also a great many errors of cultural and historical note. For one Quirynius mentioned as the governor who ordered the census, which forced Joseph and Mary then pregnant with Jesus to go to Bethlehem, has been found to have begun his governorship of Judea when Jesus was a teenager, so could not have ordered that census. There is great doubt among historians expert in the practicality of the Romans, that they would have instituted such an ineffective and unintelligent complexity of moving people around the country to “register” in their hometown. The Romans, if nothing else were not stupid and such a census was simply stupid. Moving an entire population around in that way would accomplish nothing and would have been useless for taxing purposes since people paid their taxes in the towns in which they lived, not the towns in which they were born but no longer live. If there were records of who was born where, the records would have been transferred, not the people, if necessary, but it was unnecessary back then when records were poorly kept if kept at all in smaller towns, which is an excellent reason for people to simply never go and register at all because no one would have been the wiser about their life, death or very existence.
The emphasis on Mary’s eternal virginity came about more than 300 years after her death and surfaced as dogma during Constantine’s reign. The evidence of the mentions of Jesus brothers and sisters being cousins is poor. Paul who spoke and wrote excellent Greek never used the word Anepsios, Greek for cousin, when referring to Jesus’ siblings, using instead the word Adelphos, Greek for brother, when speaking of Jesus’ Brothers, and most specifically when speaking of his brother St. James, Paul and other’s fluent in Greek referred to St. James as, “James the Just, the Brother of the Lord," using the word Adelphos for Brother.”
Since we know little of Jesus’ life from ages 12-30, there is no evidence that he was not married, as we do know that some of the apostles were married and most probably all who worked were married.
In one of the Lost Gospels of the Nag Hammadi discovery in 1945 outside of that town, 3rd century monks had buried the Codex’s, more than 50 of them, because suddenly under the military dogma of the new convert Constantine, Emperor, only the “accepted” (canon) version of the New Testament were to be allowed to survive. The Monks, of a more democratic state of mind hid them hoping that after the reign of Constantine led by Athanasius’ purge of books, they could unearth their beloved gospels-it never was to be, not until 1945.
In correct translations, Jesus never stated that he was “The Only Begotten Son of God.” The term “son of man” was a common one to distinguish a man born out of woman of man, was human neither an angel nor a demon. God used the term as a greeting to Ezekiel and others. It was never capitalized except in the New Testament and capitalized or not, it still means the same thing, a human being born of a man out of a woman, nothing more. For other uses, see Son of man .
The phrase son of man is a primarily Semitic idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to denote humanity or self.
*In Akkadian, son of man is:
▪ ameluti
In Sumerian, son of man is:
▪ DUMU.LU.ULU.LU (?)
In Hebrew, son of man is either:
בן אדם▪ [ben 'adam]
בן אנש▪ [ben 'enosh]
In Aramaic, son of man due to spelling variants and morphological shifts is either:
ברנש▪ [barnash]
ברנשא▪ [barnasha']
בר נש▪ [bar nash]
בר נשא▪ [bar nasha']
בר אנש▪ [bar 'anash]
בר אנוש▪ [bar 'anowsh]
בר אנשא▪ [bar 'ansha']
ברה דאנשא▪ [breh dansha']
▪ (and a few others)
Ancient Semitic literature
The most common use is similar to that of the English word "human." For example:
1QapGen
1QapGen. XXI.13: MT שיא (Gen. 13.16)
ואשגה זרעך כעפר ארשא די לא ישכח בר אנוש לממדיה
And I will multiply your seed like the dirt of the earth which no son of man (בר אנוש : [bar 'anowsh]) can count. (Aramaic)
In the Hebrew of Genesis 13:6, the word translated as בר אנוש (son of man) was איש (man).
Book of the Laws of the Countries
This is the oldest general discussion of mankind in the Aramaic language, and we can see that ברנשא bar nasha is used in a general form for humanity:
Bardaisan, The Book of the Laws of the Countries, p. 559, lines 11-14:
כינה דברנשא הנו דנתילד ונתרבא ודנקום באקמא ודנולד ודנקש כד אכל וכד שתא וכד דמך וכד מתתששעיר ודמות
This is the nature of the son of man (דברנשא : [debarnasha']), that he should be born and grow up and reach is peak and reproduce and grow old, while eating and drinking and sleeping and waking, and that he should die.
[edit]Story of Haninah ben Dosa
Similarly we can see in the story of how Haninah ben Dosa was bitten by a snake while praying to God:
y. Ber 5. 1/26 (9a)
כד הוות נכית לבר נשא אין בר נשא קדים למיא חברברא מיית ואין חברברא קדטם למיא בר נשא מיית
When it bites the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']), if the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']) reaches the water first, then snake dies; and if the snake reaches the water first, the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']) dies.
Here we see that it is not only a method for referring to mankind, but as a way to piously refer to oneself.*
Here is a quote directly from a Hebrew translation of their Old Testanment concerning the use of the word Almah which Christians use to describe Mary as virgin in the prophecy of Isaiah:
Judaism reads the verse in Isaiah 7:14 as:
"Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman [ha-almah] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanu-el". [1]
Judaism affirms that [ha-almah] ("young woman") does not refer to a virgin and that had the Tanakh intended to refer to such, the specific Hebrew word for virgin [bethulah] would have been used. This view is often disputed by Christians (see below), and has been a point of contention between Jews and Christians since the formation of the modern Church. Jerome, in 383 CE, wrote in "Adversus Helvidium" that Helvidius misunderstood just this same point of confusion between the Greek and the Hebrew.
To those of faith the words and deeds of the true Jesus, Mary need not be a virgin and Jesus need not be “The Only Begotten Son of God” for us to hold him in reverence any less then we hold Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Elias, Elijah, David, St. Jude, St. Francis, St. Teresa, or Mother Teresa. Paul felt the need to convert wealthy Greeks and other Gentiles, to make the church grow and prosper. However, because of their pagan background, the terms "messiah," "prophet," or "saint," held little meaning for them, therefore they would accept nothing less than a god as the focus point of a new religion. This, in Paul's mind, left him little choice but to elevate Jesus to the rank of God.
It wasn't until the third century that the argument began anew about Jesus eternality and Godship, supported by Athanasius and opposed by Arius. Arius' assessment of the situation was more logical, and saw Jesus as Messiah, appointed to adopted son of God because of Jesus’ piety and courage. Three hundred years of learning about Judeo/Christian theology gave the Greeks new material for questioning dogma and they were split on Jesus' nature, prefering St. James view of Jesus as something less than a God, and rejecting of any attempt to bridge or compromise the theory of The Oneship of God. Various views of Jesus' appointment to Godship, ranged from his appointment at birth, or at his baptism, or as he was being martyred, or even after death, in his Resurrection.
Judeo/Christian views of property, bankruptcy and the Jubilee Year, were being trampled upon by conservative business men of the era, which bytheway was the real reason for Jesus’ hasty execution-he was reexamining Moses idea of socializing the land and the people. You probably know all this and it is on one of my upcoming books which shoots down the idea of religious persecution of Jesus. Everything is always about the money. The execution of Jesus by Rome and the Chief Herodian Priests, was no exception, and was not about theology. Religious Arguments far exceeding those of Jesus were always brewing in Israel among the argumentive rabbi’s. Jesus’ execution was as much about the money as it Bush’s attack on Iraq.
Funny how Americans accept socialization of government, of schools, police, fire departments, city services, the military, but of not necessary products like fuel, water, housing, medical care and other personal necessities? It is about the money, avarice, and contempt for the masses and for the God these fascists claim to serve-hypocrisy.
Moses deeded to each Judean Peasant a few acres of land as “Social Security” on which to grow enough food for the family and allow some excess to be sold. He wanted them healthy for many reasons, one being he might need them for combat. Both Romans and some Herodian officials were Practicing Fascism, before the term was defined and coined in modern times. They were confiscating land breaking the bankruptcy laws initiated by Moses. They were also commercializing the land, in violation of his ancient concept. They were also outsourcing labor to scabs and selling it to rich Greeks and Romans at prices out of the reach of peasant Jews. (Sound familiar?)
There was aside form the 7 years-bankruptcy forgiveness policy, I the 7th application of each 7 year’s of forgiveness of bankruptcy-the 50th year, was the JUBILEE YEAR or as Jesus called it, THE YEAR OF THE LORD, in which all land confiscated or bought for debt had to be returned to the family from which it was taken. The Romans, my rather brutal ancestors, rarely if ever crucified mere minor leaders alone. When they captured Spartacus they crucified him and 6,000 of his officers-mass execution was their means of ideas-nullification through forced attrition.
Among Jesus’ followers, none but he were executed. His speech on the portico after his attack on the profiteers there earlier in the day, sealed his fate. The turning point was his mention of the YEAR OF THE LORD disguise to mean THE JUBILEE YEAR in the New Testament. Apparently, some Herodian Priests were buying and commercializing land against Jewish Law, they hypocritically claimed they could own, but not work land. Therefore they had to get rid of Jesus before his next opportunity to speak, the next day or there might have been a riot turning the Zealots to assassination of Chief Herodian Priests instead of Romans. The Romans agreed with the idea of eliminating Jesus in a hurry because many lower level Roman officials were joined in the land commercialization scheme thus were “skimming’ on the take to Caesar, a no-no for sure. Rome would only tolerate corruption at the top.
The article in Time magazine referred to a Darrell Bock, a professor at the conservative Protestant Dallas Seminary, whom the Discovery Channel had review the film recently, asked a question which disqualifies him as an expert: “Why would Jesus’ family or followers bury his bones in a family plot and then turn around and preach that he had been physically raised from the dead?"
Why? If Block knew enough about Jesus he would have known that Jesus’ family and Apostles, save for James, His brother, who was assassinated, and Peter who was crucified, were ouster sized from any part in the later church by Paul and others who did not want the power of James The Just, Brother of The Lord’s huge following (8,000 parishioners at His Messianic Hebrew Church) which did not depict Jesus as “Son of God” but as messiah/prophet. In addition, apparently the burial secrecy worked, because it took \ 2000 years to uncover the switch. Jesus' family and only a few apostles were sparsely present in the Acts and other books, which followed the four gospels.

REPLY TO: THE GRAVE OF JESUS AND FAMILY (CAMERON)
Reply To: The Grave Of Jesus And Family-Cameron
THE GRAVE OF JESUS AND FAMILY
By Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo
Anthropologist, Theologian, etc.
Rabbi Yeshua, Joshua, (Jesus Ben Yoseph) was born in the reign of Herod the Great, sometime between 8-4 BC and died somewhere between 25-29 AD. The gospels were written: 1st-Mark's between 65-72 AD, 2nd-Matthews, between then and about 80 AD, Luke's about late 80’s AD, John's in 92-110 AD.
Because the extant gospels were not written until 36-85 years after the death of Jesus, it is doubtful that any of the writers of the gospels ever met Jesus or even, with the later writers, ever met anyone who ever met Jesus.
None of the writers, Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, were apostles, in fact no one knows their real names. Those names were added to the gospels by early church authorities to lend credence to the writings. (This is information that can be found in most unbiased bibles, like the St. Joseph New American Version, found in most bookstores.) Although it is possible, but only barely, that Mark was the Mark who sometimes traveled with St. Paul. There is also strong evidence that the writers were not Hebrews, but Gentiles, because of the many errors in Hebrew culture displayed in the New Testament.
The earliest gospels extant are copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, are in Greek, and date to the late second to early third centuries. There have been about 5400 manuscripts representing gospels found over the last 1700 years; some are small fragments, some more than that, some are complete versions. Over the course of those 5400 versions of the New Testament, there are many differences, ranging from subtle edits, redactions, and changes to major story insertions or removals and later reinsertions with and without changes.
There are also a great many errors of cultural and historical note. For one Quirynius mentioned as the governor who ordered the census, which forced Joseph and Mary then pregnant with Jesus to go to Bethlehem, has been found to have begun his governorship of Judea when Jesus was a teenager, so could not have ordered that census. There is great doubt among historians expert in the practicality of the Romans, that they would have instituted such an ineffective and unintelligent complexity of moving people around the country to “register” in their hometown. The Romans, if nothing else were not stupid and such a census was simply stupid. Moving an entire population around in that way would accomplish nothing and would have been useless for taxing purposes since people paid their taxes in the towns in which they lived, not the towns in which they were born but no longer live. If there were records of who was born where, the records would have been transferred, not the people, if necessary, but it was unnecessary back then when records were poorly kept if kept at all in smaller towns, which is an excellent reason for people to simply never go and register at all because no one would have been the wiser about their life, death or very existence.
The emphasis on Mary’s eternal virginity came about more than 300 years after her death and surfaced as dogma during Constantine’s reign. The evidence of the mentions of Jesus brothers and sisters being cousins is poor. Paul who spoke and wrote excellent Greek never used the word Anepsios, Greek for cousin, when referring to Jesus’ siblings, using instead the word Adelphos, Greek for brother, when speaking of Jesus’ Brothers, and most specifically when speaking of his brother St. James, Paul and other’s fluent in Greek referred to St. James as, “James the Just, the Brother of the Lord," using the word Adelphos for Brother.”
Since we know little of Jesus’ life from ages 12-30, there is no evidence that he was not married, as we do know that some of the apostles were married and most probably all who worked were married.
In one of the Lost Gospels of the Nag Hammadi discovery in 1945 outside of that town, 3rd century monks had buried the Codex’s, more than 50 of them, because suddenly under the military dogma of the new convert Constantine, Emperor, only the “accepted” (canon) version of the New Testament were to be allowed to survive. The Monks, of a more democratic state of mind hid them hoping that after the reign of Constantine led by Athanasius’ purge of books, they could unearth their beloved gospels-it never was to be, not until 1945.
In correct translations, Jesus never stated that he was “The Only Begotten Son of God.” The term “son of man” was a common one to distinguish a man born out of woman of man, was human neither an angel nor a demon. God used the term as a greeting to Ezekiel and others. It was never capitalized except in the New Testament and capitalized or not, it still means the same thing, a human being born of a man out of a woman, nothing more. For other uses, see Son of man .
The phrase son of man is a primarily Semitic idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to denote humanity or self.
*In Akkadian, son of man is:
▪ ameluti
In Sumerian, son of man is:
▪ DUMU.LU.ULU.LU (?)
In Hebrew, son of man is either:
בן אדם▪ [ben 'adam]
בן אנש▪ [ben 'enosh]
In Aramaic, son of man due to spelling variants and morphological shifts is either:
ברנש▪ [barnash]
ברנשא▪ [barnasha']
בר נש▪ [bar nash]
בר נשא▪ [bar nasha']
בר אנש▪ [bar 'anash]
בר אנוש▪ [bar 'anowsh]
בר אנשא▪ [bar 'ansha']
ברה דאנשא▪ [breh dansha']
▪ (and a few others)
Ancient Semitic literature
The most common use is similar to that of the English word "human." For example:
1QapGen
1QapGen. XXI.13: MT שיא (Gen. 13.16)
ואשגה זרעך כעפר ארשא די לא ישכח בר אנוש לממדיה
And I will multiply your seed like the dirt of the earth which no son of man (בר אנוש : [bar 'anowsh]) can count. (Aramaic)
In the Hebrew of Genesis 13:6, the word translated as בר אנוש (son of man) was איש (man).
Book of the Laws of the Countries
This is the oldest general discussion of mankind in the Aramaic language, and we can see that ברנשא bar nasha is used in a general form for humanity:
Bardaisan, The Book of the Laws of the Countries, p. 559, lines 11-14:
כינה דברנשא הנו דנתילד ונתרבא ודנקום באקמא ודנולד ודנקש כד אכל וכד שתא וכד דמך וכד מתתששעיר ודמות
This is the nature of the son of man (דברנשא : [debarnasha']), that he should be born and grow up and reach is peak and reproduce and grow old, while eating and drinking and sleeping and waking, and that he should die.
[edit]Story of Haninah ben Dosa
Similarly we can see in the story of how Haninah ben Dosa was bitten by a snake while praying to God:
y. Ber 5. 1/26 (9a)
כד הוות נכית לבר נשא אין בר נשא קדים למיא חברברא מיית ואין חברברא קדטם למיא בר נשא מיית
When it bites the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']), if the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']) reaches the water first, then snake dies; and if the snake reaches the water first, the son of man (בר נשא : [bar nasha']) dies.
Here we see that it is not only a method for referring to mankind, but as a way to piously refer to oneself.*
Here is a quote directly from a Hebrew translation of their Old Testanment concerning the use of the word Almah which Christians use to describe Mary as virgin in the prophecy of Isaiah:
Judaism reads the verse in Isaiah 7:14 as:
"Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman [ha-almah] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanu-el". [1]
Judaism affirms that [ha-almah] ("young woman") does not refer to a virgin and that had the Tanakh intended to refer to such, the specific Hebrew word for virgin [bethulah] would have been used. This view is often disputed by Christians (see below), and has been a point of contention between Jews and Christians since the formation of the modern Church. Jerome, in 383 CE, wrote in "Adversus Helvidium" that Helvidius misunderstood just this same point of confusion between the Greek and the Hebrew.
To those of faith the words and deeds of the true Jesus, Mary need not be a virgin and Jesus need not be “The Only Begotten Son of God” for us to hold him in reverence any less then we hold Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Elias, Elijah, David, St. Jude, St. Francis, St. Teresa, or Mother Teresa. Paul felt the need to convert wealthy Greeks and other Gentiles, to make the church grow and prosper. However, because of their pagan background, the terms "messiah," "prophet," or "saint," held little meaning for them, therefore they would accept nothing less than a god as the focus point of a new religion. This, in Paul's mind, left him little choice but to elevate Jesus to the rank of God.
It wasn't until the third century that the argument began anew about Jesus eternality and Godship, supported by Athanasius and opposed by Arius. Arius' assessment of the situation was more logical, and saw Jesus as Messiah, appointed to adopted son of God because of Jesus’ piety and courage. Three hundred years of learning about Judeo/Christian theology gave the Greeks new material for questioning dogma and they were split on Jesus' nature, prefering St. James view of Jesus as something less than a God, and rejecting of any attempt to bridge or compromise the theory of The Oneship of God. Various views of Jesus' appointment to Godship, ranged from his appointment at birth, or at his baptism, or as he was being martyred, or even after death, in his Resurrection.
Judeo/Christian views of property, bankruptcy and the Jubilee Year, were being trampled upon by conservative business men of the era, which bytheway was the real reason for Jesus’ hasty execution-he was reexamining Moses idea of socializing the land and the people. You probably know all this and it is on one of my upcoming books which shoots down the idea of religious persecution of Jesus. Everything is always about the money. The execution of Jesus by Rome and the Chief Herodian Priests, was no exception, and was not about theology. Religious Arguments far exceeding those of Jesus were always brewing in Israel among the argumentive rabbi’s. Jesus’ execution was as much about the money as it Bush’s attack on Iraq.
Funny how Americans accept socialization of government, of schools, police, fire departments, city services, the military, but of not necessary products like fuel, water, housing, medical care and other personal necessities? It is about the money, avarice, and contempt for the masses and for the God these fascists claim to serve-hypocrisy.
Moses deeded to each Judean Peasant a few acres of land as “Social Security” on which to grow enough food for the family and allow some excess to be sold. He wanted them healthy for many reasons, one being he might need them for combat. Both Romans and some Herodian officials were Practicing Fascism, before the term was defined and coined in modern times. They were confiscating land breaking the bankruptcy laws initiated by Moses. They were also commercializing the land, in violation of his ancient concept. They were also outsourcing labor to scabs and selling it to rich Greeks and Romans at prices out of the reach of peasant Jews. (Sound familiar?)
There was aside form the 7 years-bankruptcy forgiveness policy, I the 7th application of each 7 year’s of forgiveness of bankruptcy-the 50th year, was the JUBILEE YEAR or as Jesus called it, THE YEAR OF THE LORD, in which all land confiscated or bought for debt had to be returned to the family from which it was taken. The Romans, my rather brutal ancestors, rarely if ever crucified mere minor leaders alone. When they captured Spartacus they crucified him and 6,000 of his officers-mass execution was their means of ideas-nullification through forced attrition.
Among Jesus’ followers, none but he were executed. His speech on the portico after his attack on the profiteers there earlier in the day, sealed his fate. The turning point was his mention of the YEAR OF THE LORD disguise to mean THE JUBILEE YEAR in the New Testament. Apparently, some Herodian Priests were buying and commercializing land against Jewish Law, they hypocritically claimed they could own, but not work land. Therefore they had to get rid of Jesus before his next opportunity to speak, the next day or there might have been a riot turning the Zealots to assassination of Chief Herodian Priests instead of Romans. The Romans agreed with the idea of eliminating Jesus in a hurry because many lower level Roman officials were joined in the land commercialization scheme thus were “skimming’ on the take to Caesar, a no-no for sure. Rome would only tolerate corruption at the top.
The article in Time magazine referred to a Darrell Bock, a professor at the conservative Protestant Dallas Seminary, whom the Discovery Channel had review the film recently, asked a question which disqualifies him as an expert: “Why would Jesus’ family or followers bury his bones in a family plot and then turn around and preach that he had been physically raised from the dead?"
Why? If Block knew enough about Jesus he would have known that Jesus’ family and Apostles, save for James, His brother, who was assassinated, and Peter who was crucified, were ouster sized from any part in the later church by Paul and others who did not want the power of James The Just, Brother of The Lord’s huge following (8,000 parishioners at His Messianic Hebrew Church) which did not depict Jesus as “Son of God” but as messiah/prophet. In addition, apparently the burial secrecy worked, because it took \ 2000 years to uncover the switch. Jesus' family and only a few apostles were sparsely present in the Acts and other books, which followed the four gospels.

AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS REGARDING H. R. 800!

AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS REGARDING H. R. 800!
The Code of Hammurabi, created in 1760 BC, followed the codex of Ur-Nammu, king of Ur (2050 BC), the Codex of Eshnunna (1930 BC) and the codex of Lipit-Ishtar of Isin (1870 BC), but preceded the Hittite code of laws (1300 BC), and Mosaic Law (about 1200 BC under Moses), all of bore similarities to each other, because they shared a geographical, cultural, affinity.
Moses, however, was the wellspring, the progenitor of Justice in criminal, civil, and personal Injury, tort law. In the constructing of 613 Commandments, more than double to triple the number of laws his predecessors developed. Moses opened law to include the once disenfranchised classes, creating virtual panoply of legal precedents upon which all nations have built their criminal and civil codes. The Commandments were the Foundation Stone for fairness among the classes. In so doing, Moses became one of the earliest developers of the concept of a Middle Class and a balanced national economy.
Spread throughout the Pentateuch, were those 613 Commandments (of which the Ten Commandments were only the tip of the moral and civil legal practices, iceberg in Torah), which Moses and his judges held court treating the various classes with amazing equality.
The seedlings, planted by Moses, would eventually become common Juris Prudence in the West.
Moses knew that God desired all men to have, at least access to opportunity. In that regard, he created revolutionary concepts, those of equal opportunity for both the peasant and ruling classes. He knew that a strong economy was predicated not primarily on a market of trade with other nations, but domestic trade. For that to be a success he knew that a good economy begins at home. Wages in Moses day were created fully in mind that a healthy, wealthy, happy citizen population was also the key to a strong defense system. Thus, he developed a means of support by tithing to each adult enough acreage to sustain a family in the best and worst of times, a Mosaic Social Security Program.
He also constructed what most countries now know as Bankruptcy Law, which was far more forgiving than the present abortion lobbied by avaristic credit card companies.
I gave you this background in order for you to comprehend why it is so important for Americans to have job security, for national defence, for their own health and safety, for a strong internal economy unfettered by foreign influences, products or services of which fuel oil is one.
God, the Almighty Father appointed eons later His special Representative, Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus) to represent to men a tolerant, liberality of God's Good Will, which embraced keeping Good nations, free and independent of foreign products and influences.
To have a strong, wealthy population, it needs to be a motivated and healthy population. If loyalty is not delivered by government to its constituents; which men of conscience and intellect understand, as did Jesus and His Father, that then good men will end their loyalty to government. There is no room in America for sycophants in congress for those who go with the pretense to lead, but then merely strive to feather their own nests by cooperating with the wealthy, lobbying avarists in Big Industry. It was Big Industry, Conservative Multi-millionaire CEO's, which inveigled Adolph Hitler in Germany, and the Emperor in Japan, to wage World War to slake the thirst of Industry for greater profits through fascist Imperialism.
America won because of its loyalty to its working classes, which in turn produced outstanding workers, and brilliant young minds, which eventually gave birth to its innovative teaching, legislative and entrepreneurial classes, something certain fascist elements of both Parties would like to change. We have in congress apparently in abundance, those who wish only the luxurious life promised by avaristic Lobbyists wishing to cash in by impoverishing working families. However, you can change that ratio.
Even the great and initially generous Henry Ford recognized that in order to sell his products people needed to afford to buy them, so he rewarded his workers with unprecedented compensation packages. Those legislators which betray their own working class citizens are at odds with those geniuses that created our original economy and our national set of morals, and are instead displaying disloyalty at best and treason at worst to our nation and our people. A person cannot, in good conscience, declare, on the one hand, that they love America, but display to all and sundry by his/her actions, instead, a demeanor which reveals that s/he hates Americans, especially its workers. If you go to Washington and listen to those of either party who wish to destroy fair wages, you are spitting in the eyes of God and disrupting the security and health of those who work and will fight America's battles.
I strongly urge you to hear this truth, Avarice is the only sin, for which God has no mitigation, for all of the other sins come out of weaknesses of the flesh, which according to Jesus are all easily mitigatible, but not greed, which comes from power and the lust for absolute power and we all know to what that leads.
Please, display your gratitude to Almighty God, to Jesus for championing justice and to Moses for defining it, by voting for H. R. 800.
Loyalty is a two-way street, if a governing party betrays, refuses to support its workers in favor of the workers of another nation, for purely economic advantages, spurred by corporate greed, no citizen will fight for a such party, which does not respect his contribution nor reward it and his family with health and wealth. Those motives, not fear, a reality of which Caligula, Nero, Hitler, Mao Amin and Stalin were apparently ignorant, caused their downfall and is beginning to look as though it will cause ours, because of a small number of incredibly greedy industrialists. "What does it profit a man if he gains the wealth of the world but in the process betrays and loses his soul?"
Vote against those who expect you to be non-thinking unconscionable, sycophants, by voting for H. R. 800. Be your own wo/man.
I thank you and America will thank you, because I, like other good Americans cannot support one who supports the enemies of God, those who wallow in Greed. Remember Avarice is the only EVIL unmitigatible by God, as he and Jesus so often said in words very plain.
Please, for our workingmen and women VOTE FOR H. R. 800!
I thank you and so will God the Almighty Father, and so will America's working classes, the heart of our nation and potentially, our armed forces

GOOD NIGHT CINDY SHEEHAN, GOOD NIGHT AMERICA

Good Night Cindy Sheehan, Good Night America!
Good Night Cindy Sheehan, Good Night America!
A Message For Rahm Emanuel
How the Democrats Picked up Their Skirts, Hitched up Their Trousers, Put Away Their Consciences, Grabbed Their Purses, Their Wallets, and Genuflected To The Money Changers Instead of To Our Sacred Documents.
Good Night Cindy Sheehan, Good Night America!
You, Mrs., Sheehan, are not alone in your anger at the betrayal of Americans by the Democratic Party. The influence of the same lost in space attitude that cost us the 2000-2004 elections is going to cost them the 2008 election. I shall not vote, nor give money to ANY candidate the Democrats put forward. Instead, I shall devote my writing, myself and my available funds to independent, peace candidates, who are dedicated to the Culture of Life, in all its manifestations.
I salute you and your cause, and have empathy for you and share your pain. At this time, having failed to awaken in those who seek public office, any sense of morality, we are seeking not to bring about change through political support, but through abandonment and prayer and adhering to principles which embrace the Culture of Life, in ALL of it's respectful empathy with purity of land, water, air, human mind, body and soul. No death to any creature, living or with the potential to live shall be abandoned, and I am pledging a personal fortune to that cause beginning this summer.
It would appear that we have been made fools of by those we trusted, and that reelecting any of them would be as large a mistake as electing a Fascist. It would also appear that in Senator Lieberman, for all of his evil intent, we have seen a Democrat who, though we may despise his direction and morality, at least told the truth about where he stood. We here are all saddened as much by the duplicity of the Democrats as by the fascism of the Republicans, as by your retirement Mrs. Sheehan.
I am well aware of the "Secret" behind Nancy Pelosi's ill-advised stubbornness. Was it not, Rahm Emanuel who convinced the party to ride out the next 16 months, not rock the boat until there is no veto to overcome, and give Mr. Bush all the rope he can collect, and concentrate on money raising? Wasn't it his strategy to let Bush wallow in his war as his ratings continue their slide? Ill advised, is the most charitable thing I can say about that lame-brained idea. Meanwhile, however, PEOPLE are dying! Mr. Emanuel is concerned that an impeachment process would waste time and resources and might backfire. He fears that it might place the election in the background and kick up backlash. Mr. Emanuel’s is the failure of discontinuous, and confused illogic. I happen to agree that Impeachment might back-fire, that it would drain time, split forces and cost money, but appointing an Independent Prosecutor would certainly not. The necessity is to get the Hun out of office before he invents a means to overcome the need for an election.
Right now, there is a lackluster batch of candidates, whose best shot, has already run and lost, Ex-Senator Edwards. I do not believe that Senator Obama can or will win, and the reasons he will not win have little to do with race and more to do with the lack of seriousness of his platform candidacy and the rate at which some of his aids are alienating voters and contributors. Too many Democrats will not vote for Senator Clinton. It would take the ball out of the hands of the congress and play in the background using up Republican money. That is only because Mr. Emanuel, for all of his success as a fundraiser, has no clue as to what he is dealing with the Bushite fascists. He may raise enough money eventually and have a candidate to run, but by then it will be meaningless, the man, with his emphasis on cash, which is admittedly important, will have missed the meaning and reason for the importance of this election.
He believes in a wait and see, attitude, don’t rock the boat; give the voters nothing to get angry about. He thinks he is still running the Clinton election, where instead of rushing in to run in some state primary, he stalled out to raise the money that would outlast the other candidates, in that case a wise gamble. What the man cannot comprehend is that this is not 1992, or 1996 or even 2006. We are not merely trying to win an election, but must be rid of a tyrant before he takes control and cancels the election process! This is a race against time, not against money. The longer these fellows stay in office, the more the election will never happen.
This wasn’t about merely winning an election, but winning back our liberty and saving our unique Sacred Documents The Bill Of Rights which had 90% of its statutes dissolved by the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the Constitution, destroyed by the Bushite lunacy, will leave us with nothing of value and no one will care anymore, there will be nothing to care about. Mr. Emanuel is showing us what he cares about, MONEY$$$, he is like a doctor whose dying patient breaks his arm and the doctor, a surgeon is elated at the brilliant piece of surgery he did to restore the arm to full strength! He brags to the family about his success at saving the arm of a man, nonetheless with 3 months to live. We need Impeachment or an Independent Prosecutor, the latter which I favor and will be the least costly in terms of time and face, or, and we need it now. The plans of the Bushites to overturn the election process are already in the making.
Our heritage, the laws of our nation and its great experiment in Democracy, will all be gone, it will be too late to raise enough voters, who by then, will abandon a sinking ship of state and make plans about where to move to in order to have freedom once again. Without a Constitution or Bill of Rights, the money that was raised may have to be used by the candidates to run to another country and hide. In reference to our Constitution this is the 60th anniversary of an odd prophecy by Gödel, the great Physicist and Einstein's good friend, when he was going to take his citizenship exam in 1947 discovered what he described as a major, logical "flaw" in The Constitution, which, might be exploited at some future date, allowing the government to degenerate into tyranny and allow a dictator to arise rapidly.
Later in 2008, when we have all departed to support whomever Independent candidates come, even if it means handing the next election over to the fascists again, Mr. Emanuel and the Democratic Party will have raised their hubris to match that of Mr. Bush’s scoundrels, believing in the regressive retail policy, "Whom else have the voters got? They, will in the end, do as we wish." He has a lot to learn at least about this voter, I relish sending them all back to the cash register looking for votes which will not be there, This will be the largest loss they have seen since the Reagan days. Now they shall feel the sting of defeat for their lies and misrepresentation. They have bought into the Tony Blair; sell out for a share of dynastic wealth at the expense of mothers of all nations and the slaughter of American and Iraqi, and soon Iranian, Syrian, Venezuelan, and then more American, children.
May the Good Lord, bless you from here forth, for now we are all a renegade prayer group, with God as our only refuge, outside of the realm and perfidy of Organized Religion, Mainstream Politics, MSM and Commerce.

Good Night Cindy Sheehan, Good Night America!
Good Night Cindy Sheehan, Good Night America!
A Message For Rahm Emanuel
How the Democrats Picked up Their Skirts, Hitched up Their Trousers, Put Away Their Consciences, Grabbed Their Purses, Their Wallets, and Genuflected To The Money Changers Instead of To Our Sacred Documents.
Good Night Cindy Sheehan, Good Night America!
You, Mrs., Sheehan, are not alone in your anger at the betrayal of Americans by the Democratic Party. The influence of the same lost in space attitude that cost us the 2000-2004 elections is going to cost them the 2008 election. I shall not vote, nor give money to ANY candidate the Democrats put forward. Instead, I shall devote my writing, myself and my available funds to independent, peace candidates, who are dedicated to the Culture of Life, in all its manifestations.
I salute you and your cause, and have empathy for you and share your pain. At this time, having failed to awaken in those who seek public office, any sense of morality, we are seeking not to bring about change through political support, but through abandonment and prayer and adhering to principles which embrace the Culture of Life, in ALL of it's respectful empathy with purity of land, water, air, human mind, body and soul. No death to any creature, living or with the potential to live shall be abandoned, and I am pledging a personal fortune to that cause beginning this summer.
It would appear that we have been made fools of by those we trusted, and that reelecting any of them would be as large a mistake as electing a Fascist. It would also appear that in Senator Lieberman, for all of his evil intent, we have seen a Democrat who, though we may despise his direction and morality, at least told the truth about where he stood. We here are all saddened as much by the duplicity of the Democrats as by the fascism of the Republicans, as by your retirement Mrs. Sheehan.
I am well aware of the "Secret" behind Nancy Pelosi's ill-advised stubbornness. Was it not, Rahm Emanuel who convinced the party to ride out the next 16 months, not rock the boat until there is no veto to overcome, and give Mr. Bush all the rope he can collect, and concentrate on money raising? Wasn't it his strategy to let Bush wallow in his war as his ratings continue their slide? Ill advised, is the most charitable thing I can say about that lame-brained idea. Meanwhile, however, PEOPLE are dying! Mr. Emanuel is concerned that an impeachment process would waste time and resources and might backfire. He fears that it might place the election in the background and kick up backlash. Mr. Emanuel’s is the failure of discontinuous, and confused illogic. I happen to agree that Impeachment might back-fire, that it would drain time, split forces and cost money, but appointing an Independent Prosecutor would certainly not. The necessity is to get the Hun out of office before he invents a means to overcome the need for an election.
Right now, there is a lackluster batch of candidates, whose best shot, has already run and lost, Ex-Senator Edwards. I do not believe that Senator Obama can or will win, and the reasons he will not win have little to do with race and more to do with the lack of seriousness of his platform candidacy and the rate at which some of his aids are alienating voters and contributors. Too many Democrats will not vote for Senator Clinton. It would take the ball out of the hands of the congress and play in the background using up Republican money. That is only because Mr. Emanuel, for all of his success as a fundraiser, has no clue as to what he is dealing with the Bushite fascists. He may raise enough money eventually and have a candidate to run, but by then it will be meaningless, the man, with his emphasis on cash, which is admittedly important, will have missed the meaning and reason for the importance of this election.
He believes in a wait and see, attitude, don’t rock the boat; give the voters nothing to get angry about. He thinks he is still running the Clinton election, where instead of rushing in to run in some state primary, he stalled out to raise the money that would outlast the other candidates, in that case a wise gamble. What the man cannot comprehend is that this is not 1992, or 1996 or even 2006. We are not merely trying to win an election, but must be rid of a tyrant before he takes control and cancels the election process! This is a race against time, not against money. The longer these fellows stay in office, the more the election will never happen.
This wasn’t about merely winning an election, but winning back our liberty and saving our unique Sacred Documents The Bill Of Rights which had 90% of its statutes dissolved by the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the Constitution, destroyed by the Bushite lunacy, will leave us with nothing of value and no one will care anymore, there will be nothing to care about.
