What is “WINNING?” When it comes Iraq, we hear a lot about “winning” be nothing which defines exactly what that means.
The term “winning” is usually assumed to be understood. However this is a conflict in which people’s lives are at stake and we had best know what we are killing over.
Who is the enemy? Who is our opponent – the one against whom we are expected to be victorious in order to bring about the cessation of our involvement in the sectarian hostilities?
Idiots will immediately say “terrorists”. OK – does that means the Timothy McVey’s of the world will cease to exist? Does that mean an end to suicide bombers?
Those who believe there can be a victory are idiots. Plain and simple, they are total, complete, irresponsible idiots.
Look to the reality of Iraq:
1. The government is on our side.
2. The people want us gone and violence ended – so on our side.
3. There is nobody with whom peace can be made.
You cannot make peace with suicide bombers – they do their work and are dead.
How do you make peace with the dead? How do you “win” against the dead?
Can you stop people from killing themselves in order to kill others?
Can Bush and his idiot backers – those lame brained “support the troops” idiots who believe support means send them to their death – or make them living corpses; basket cases; wounded who are denied medical care; denied psychological care.
Yes those “rocking chair patriots” are willing to fight to the death of the last child – no matter if it is an American soldier, or an Islamic civilian; the battle will be to the last taxpayer dollar and the last child.
Who, under those conditions can win? Who but Al Qaeda? Bin Laden can win from the grave
Al Qaeda is at war with Islam far more than it is at war with us. In the
Al Qaeda game, this is a battle between Sunni and Shia; only after that is resolved does the infidel west come into play. But, as I have pointed out before, Bush is the tool of Al Qaeda – doing, and achieving, all the objective set down by Bin Laden.
Bush has managed to fulfill Bin Laden objectives – he has killed Saddam, provided a training and tactic exploration territory (Iraq) for Al Qaeda, and has weakened both the American economy and military in the process.
George Bush has proved to be the very best of Al Qaeda assets. He has, by being “a decision maker”, made every decisions Bin Laden wanted made.
Define winning. Tell us what the benchmarks are. Let us know the steps and landmarks which mean we have won. Winning? If it is really a “war on terror” would mean we could dismantle all the extra security at airports – we could return to air travel of the 60's and 70's.
More, given “hijackers”, winning the war on terror would mean we could return to air travel of the 50's – no security, no scanners, no metal detectors ... none of that.
Who is so stupid as to believe such a time would ever come again? Who? Only those who are stupid enough to believe there is a “war on terror” which can be won; and worse, believe that it can be won through any American sponsored outcome in Iraq.
There is no war, because there is no enemy who can declare and affirm peace. There is no winning, because there will always be those who understand that terrorism works – it is the ultimate example of Bush’s “Shock and Awe” inducing action.

Events to come follow upon events today
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 16, 2007
The statistics are growing. The doom and gloom are becoming more manifest. Projections, projections, predictions and prophecies – oh how delightful the events.
The year twenty-fifty, the world population has added more people over forty years than existed throughout the world of 1950.
We will have 9.2 BILLION people at a time when liquid fossil fuels are depleted and sea levels have risen a foot or more. Nations will be under water. Shorelines will have changed.
In America, the Great lakes will be connected by a seaway to the Gulf of Mexico. Whole states might well vanish; and Death Valley will be on its way to becoming an inland seaport.
Terrorist activity will be as it is; if different, the difference will be hardly noticeable. America will be as America is – a bankrupt target for any and all who wish to make a political statement.
We will see the Chinese and Japanese foreclose on the debts we have amassed. The baby-boomers will have all but died out, and there will be a stability, or reduction, in the American population.
Spanish, or Hispanic, will be the nature of the nation. Evangelicals will be struggling to find idiots to support their cause; Catholics might be more, most probably less; the Mormons will see their addiction to prescription drugs increase – and families diminish.
New diseases will emerge, and current plagues will run their course. World health – everywhere but in America, where the evangelicals continue to block proper care, will improve. The third world will see improvement as AIDS is overcome; but otherwise will continue their poverty.
Human bondage, slavery, and prostitution will be on the increase – people will sell themselves for an escape from lands being reclaimed by the oceans.
The least developed nations will experience most of the population growth – another 2.5 billion mouths to feed will mean forests cleared for fields, and the lack of trees will expedite the persistence of the greenhouse gas cycle.
Drug usage will spread, as opiates and cocain become more valuable cash crops – need to dull the senses of a population without purpose or opportunity.
Where there is opportunity, the poorest of the poor are bound to want to relocate. Population shifts, slums, street gangs, and crime will be the norm in many nations.
The rich will be found in Latin America and Asia. We will see a major shift in culture and technology. India, China, Venezuela, Brazil and other nations which have struggled will prosper.
Today’s industrialized nations will have populations too old, and far too dependent, to compete with the younger, far more productive, working-age populations.
Armageddon is the answer. It is the solution. It is all today’s rich nations will have, or be able to use, to stabilize their wealth and position.
Curiously, if all predictions of global warming, population growth, and depletion of energy resources, become reality, Armageddon is the salvation of Western Humanity.
With nuclear holocaust comes a sustained nuclear winder to combat and reverse global warming. With Armageddon comes plague and famine – the death of billions, a reversal of population growth, and reduction in the number of senior citizens (and other vulnerable).
The waters will rise, the lands will vanish, but the strain on resources will diminish to the point where technology can serve all who survive – the promise will be fulfilled. But who shall be the beneficiaries?

Why America cannot survive
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 16, 2007
Time for some serious stuff. In the outing of a CIA agent, the Republican Party, as embodied in the Right-wing Bush administration has proved itself an enemy of the nation.
A solid point was made by the agent in question – if the nation cannot protect the identity of its own agents, how can we expect foreign agents to believe we could protect them?
This nation needs foreign assets – informants and officials – who are willing to assist us in the acquisition of reliable intelligence.
Without such assets, it is impossible for any intelligence agency to perform the most delicate, and important, aspects of its role – the discovery of what is being planned, what is in the heads of those who would do us harm.
How antagonistic are Republicans to our interests? We know, and the Iraqis know.
We were told the Iraqis would welcome our invasion – some did. If you look you will see that we rely upon native Iraqis to translate for us and to act as both our guides, and eyes, on the ground.
How did we treat those who welcomed us? When their families were attacked – suffered retaliation from insurgent forces – America turned its back.
Have we granted blanket sanctuary to these allies? Certainly it is not a factor in the Republican agenda – and the Democrats are woefully silent.
Did the Democrats impeach this president for his lies and dishonesty? Nope! They have played politics – the politics of letting him take the blame for what they approve of.
If they not approve, Bush-Cheney would be gone.
If America did not approve, Bush-Cheney would not be serving their second term.
The world understands – even if our media and citizens refuse to. It is self-evident that America cannot be trusted.
Foreign powers, foreign agents, our own agents, cannot trust in this government. Worse than that, our wounded troops cannot not trust their government to provide for them and their families.
And, of course, the average citizen cannot trust the government to provide for them – to provide basic medical care for their children; or meet the basic educational needs to allow those children, who survive, to become productive economic engines.
This president, this administration, this government, the United States of America, has offered to Latin America more that it is willing to grant its own people. Read Bush’s speeches and learn.
Republicans talk “free markets”, and “free trade”. What are these but the hiring of others to do the work we should be doing, and selling, to them?
We are a nation in trouble. We consume, but do not produce. We attack, but do not talk. We “burn” those who seek to serve our interests – and reward those who would destroy us.
How long do you believe this can continue?
_____________________________________________________
Consider the reality of the past few days. Eight Justice Department attorneys were apparently fired for political reasons – the most egregious of which was their failure, or refusal, to utilize the power of their positions to tamper with Federal election process and election results.
In America, the Republicans have declared an end to democracy, and the beginning of the corruption which marks all dictatorships.
On another front, the spy front mentioned above, CIA operative, Valerie Plame, has stated:
1. “It was a terrible irony that administration officials were the ones who destroyed my cover."
2. "If our government cannot even protect my identity, future foreign agents who might consider working with the Central Intelligence Agency and providing needed intelligence would think twice.”
3. "My name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior officials in the White House and State Department," Plame testified. "I could no longer perform the work for which I had been highly trained."
Unmentioned – thus far – is the fact she is the wife of a diplomat. We all know that diplomatic cover is normal for espionage operations. But will anyone point out that ALL our legitimate diplomats are, henceforth, classified as spies – or the spouse of spies.
Republicans love war and threats of war. Republicans love to lie, cheat, and defraud – they are especially adapt at doing it to Americans.
Bush has made it clear, the Republican way of doing things does not include talk, discussion, negotiation – or even considerations of reality. Bush burned our agent to give cover to the lies he was using to justify destabilizing Iraq and sending our children to their death.
The body could – the murders attributable to Bush, the Republicans, the Evangelical Christians and all others who backed the invasion of Iraq is fast moving toward levels associated with normal Nazi practices and policies. Rather than kill Jews and Gypsies, Bush et al are killing Islamic peoples.
What is interesting he is doing it with the full aid and assistance of the Sunni – the same sect whose membership attacked and destroyed the World Trade Center, and blew a hole in the Pentagon. Look for matters to get worse – as Hilary takes up the sword as part of her own political agenda.
Now reread the earlier post which appears below.

Creation Story, Creation ending
____________________________________________________
Seven or eight, maybe it was ten, thousand years ago. A few boys decide to play in their father’s garden.
It was interesting times. The gardener wasn’t too bright, his wife had possibilities – at least she was rational. And the place was neat.
Dad said no. You’re too young and they aren’t ready.
Time passed and the gardener and his wife had kids, who had kids, who had kids. Time for them, and for us, was different – as it usually is for between a master and his pets. But the pets were interesting – and better, they were genetically engineered for the father’s genes. Well, truth be told, they took the mom’s genes and altered them a bit.
We don’t talk much about that – and they do, on occasion, reassert themselves. Nonetheless, time passed and the progeny became attractive to the boys – now men in search of that which young men always seek.
As it is now, it was an interesting time to be alive. But it was less complicated, less evolved, less ... less ... ah sigh, it was a pleasant time. We were allowed to play, to change things, to do the impossible because the possible had yet to be fixed in memory.
Times have change. The house is a mess and we are nearing the period of periodic cleansing. It is the age, the time, we all knew was to come. It will be said to see its work done. To clean, to toss away that which was but is no longer of value. To pollute and cleanse at the same time. To allow the images to reconfigure themselves in the image that is to be ... strange. Confusing.
Shall I cry for my children? The ones I do not know? Or the ones I know? Shall I cry for what could and will have been – that which is and shall be? Is love or importance, or only ... only what?
We have played our games. There is a bit of light remaining. Maybe time for another round or two; but the night shall fall, the games shall end, the dreams – well, that is, one might posit, another story.
Tomorrow we shall return with the pieces we love. Those we took home and showed our parents. The others? They remained in the fields and by the streams. They were tossed aside, lost, ignored, and forgotten – never to be found again. Antiquities for a different game, a game of speculation and wonder, mystery and conjecture.
Today, tonight, the castle of sand shall collapse of their own weight – and with the ebbing of the tide. Images, painted in air, on sand, in water. It is so sad ... tomorrow is almost here.
Sleep my prince, sleep my queen, my father. Let me turn off the lights so you can sleep without their glare, let me sleep tonight that tomorrow will be better.
Let me sleep. Let me rest. Oh father why do you seek rest so dearly? How hard was thy task? How burdensome the time you allowed us to play? Our existence is yours, and yours is ours, and they believe they have a place – when they have nothing but responsibility for our grounds, our garden, our place of pleasure.
Let us rest my dear parents, let us rest. This game is tiresome and should come to an end.

Date Line March 12, 2007
A 2005 government audit showed some 10,000 troops, including more than 50 specialists in Arabic, have been discharged because of they were homosexual. American troops cannot talk to Iraqis, or do anything to avoid killing innocents, or avoid being killed by insurgents, because Christian Evangelicals are totally homophobic ass holes.
Here is the reality of the twenty-first century. There is no magic, no mysticism and the facts of prophecy – and scripture – tell us that the evangelicals are the devils tools. Evangelicals are the Christians who Christ said would come in his name – but who he would neither know or defend on judgement day.
And if you happen to be Catholic – the Inquisition should be enough to awaken you as to your chances in hell. They obviously rank well behind the proverbial ice cube.
Three thousand years ago, the Assyrian Military Code said: “If a man have intercourse with his brother-in-arms, they shall turn him into a eunuch.” Well DUH ... even the Assyrian didn’t toss away their human capital because they were gay – they simply said, not with a fellow soldier; which, I would suspect, is the same rule we have between male and female soldiers
Isn’t it nice to see that some things never change, they just broaden to include anything that can weaken our military. Ten thousand is half Bush’s “serge.” Seen from another perspective, the serge would have been unnecessary, if not for the immorality of this General Peter Pace.
Peter Pace ... hum Peter ... Pace ... pace the use of your peter, your attitude declares you ashamed of your place in the closet.
Well, Peter Pace, if you want to talk immorality – it is immoral to deny troops skilled support personnel. It is immoral to send them into combat without proper armor It is immoral to deny the wounded proper medical care and to treat them like prisoners in their own country – and to deny them the freedom of speech and association that they were wounded representing.
But the fact is – Peter pace is an immoral SOB who would kill his own family for the sake of the Satan he represents with such vigor. Peter Pace – the evangelical Satanists and Bush – the representative of the greatest of all Satanic forces – do not give a pigs shit for morality.
The only thing Bush and pace want is the destruction of everything that America was supposed to stand for – and for a brief period may well have stood far.
Now America is a nation awaiting its own destruction. It is a nation of evil and greed – dominated by those who pray to evil.
I have predicted before, and will again – the fate of America is to be decided in the next months, and certainly will be sealed in the next few years.
Look to death to again awaken the people to serve evil. Look to the economy to crash. Look to the world to turn its back on America – as America turned its back on both its troops and citizens.
You have been warned and you shall suffer for not heeding that warning.
Isn’t it delightful to know that nobody will know of the warning – they have eyes but do not see, hears but do not hear ... and those who, by accident, come across the warning – they will not warn their fellow man.
My heart goes out to all. But cannot help but say “Good Riddance”.
T’is said: Thus spoke the Lord God unto his servant this day.

Depressing Facts - Is Amageddon the Solution?
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 13, 2007
The statistics are growing. The doom and gloom are becoming more manifest. Projections, projections, predictions and prophecies – oh how delightful the events.
The year twenty-fifty, the world population has added more people over forty years than existed throughout the world of 1950.
We will have 9.2 BILLION people at a time when liquid fossil fuels are depleted and sea levels have risen a foot or more. Nations will be under water. Shorelines will have changed.
In America, the Great lakes will be connected by a seaway to the Gulf of Mexico. Whole states might well vanish; and Death Valley will be on its way to becoming an inland seaport.
Terrorist activity will be as it is; if different, the difference will be hardly noticeable. America will be as America is – a bankrupt target for any and all who wish to make a political statement.
We will see the Chinese and Japanese foreclose on the debts we have amassed. The baby-boomers will have all but died out, and there will be a stability, or reduction, in the American population.
Spanish, or Hispanic, will be the nature of the nation. Evangelicals will be struggling to find idiots to support their cause; Catholics might be more, most probably less; the Mormons will see their addiction to prescription drugs increase – and families diminish.
New diseases will emerge, and current plagues will run their course. World health – everywhere but in America, where the evangelicals continue to block proper care, will improve. The third world will see improvement as AIDS is overcome; but otherwise will continue their poverty.
Human bondage, slavery, and prostitution will be on the increase – people will sell themselves for an escape from lands being reclaimed by the oceans.
The least developed nations will experience most of the population growth – another 2.5 billion mouths to feed will mean forests cleared for fields, and the lack of trees will expedite the persistence of the greenhouse gas cycle.
Drug usage will spread, as opiates and cocain become more valuable cash crops – need to dull the senses of a population without purpose or opportunity.
Where there is opportunity, the poorest of the poor are bound to want to relocate. Population shifts, slums, street gangs, and crime will be the norm in many nations.
The rich will be found in Latin America and Asia. We will see a major shift in culture and technology. India, China, Venezuela, Brazil and other nations which have struggled will prosper.
Today’s industrialized nations will have populations too old, and far too dependent, to compete with the younger, far more productive, working-age populations.
Armageddon is the answer. It is the solution. It is all today’s rich nations will have, or be able to use, to stabilize their wealth and position.
Curiously, if all predictions of global warming, population growth, and depletion of energy resources, become reality, Armageddon is the salvation of Western Humanity.
With nuclear holocaust comes a sustained nuclear winder to combat and reverse global warming. With Armageddon comes plague and famine – the death of billions, a reversal of population growth, and reduction in the number of senior citizens (and other vulnerable).
The waters will rise, the lands will vanish, but the strain on resources will diminish to the point where technology can serve all who survive – the promise will be fulfilled. But who shall be the beneficiaries?

Date Line March 13, 2007
The statistics are growing. The doom and gloom are becoming more manifest. Projections, projections, predictions and prophecies – oh how delightful the events.
The year twenty-fifty, the world population has added more people over forty years than existed throughout the world of 1950.
We will have 9.2 BILLION people at a time when liquid fossil fuels are depleted and sea levels have risen a foot or more. Nations will be under water. Shorelines will have changed.
In America, the Great lakes will be connected by a seaway to the Gulf of Mexico. Whole states might well vanish; and Death Valley will be on its way to becoming an inland seaport.
Terrorist activity will be as it is; if different, the difference will be hardly noticeable. America will be as America is – a bankrupt target for any and all who wish to make a political statement.
We will see the Chinese and Japanese foreclose on the debts we have amassed. The baby-boomers will have all but died out, and there will be a stability, or reduction, in the American population.
Spanish, or Hispanic, will be the nature of the nation. Evangelicals will be struggling to find idiots to support their cause; Catholics might be more, most probably less; the Mormons will see their addiction to prescription drugs increase – and families diminish.
New diseases will emerge, and current plagues will run their course. World health – everywhere but in America, where the evangelicals continue to block proper care, will improve. The third world will see improvement as AIDS is overcome; but otherwise will continue their poverty.
Human bondage, slavery, and prostitution will be on the increase – people will sell themselves for an escape from lands being reclaimed by the oceans.
The least developed nations will experience most of the population growth – another 2.5 billion mouths to feed will mean forests cleared for fields, and the lack of trees will expedite the persistence of the greenhouse gas cycle.
Drug usage will spread, as opiates and cocain become more valuable cash crops – need to dull the senses of a population without purpose or opportunity.
Where there is opportunity, the poorest of the poor are bound to want to relocate. Population shifts, slums, street gangs, and crime will be the norm in many nations.
The rich will be found in Latin America and Asia. We will see a major shift in culture and technology. India, China, Venezuela, Brazil and other nations which have struggled will prosper.
Today’s industrialized nations will have populations too old, and far too dependent, to compete with the younger, far more productive, working-age populations.
Armageddon is the answer. It is the solution. It is all today’s rich nations will have, or be able to use, to stabilize their wealth and position.

Death of America - Corporations Exit
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 12, 2007
Seems Old Bush 43 is now attacking Washington County, Maine – he has made specific mention of Latin America as a potential source of Blueberries, the central agricultural crop Washington County.
Out sourcing is the mainstay of the Bush economic program – destroy the American economy on every possible level.
Bush was a western governor, naturally, to destroy the west, he also pointed to Latin America as an important source of beef. American beef is among the world’s finest – naturally we should get it from any where else but the states famous for it.
Here at home, Dick Cheney is at it again. Out sourcing what remains of our agricultural industry is American, opposing the mindless death of America’s children either at home, or in Iraq, is anti-America.
Let’s see, we dispatch troops for a war of choice against a foe who was no threat – and arguably was a defender against Al Qaeda. Nice. That is the America thing to do.
More American is sending these children off in vehicles without appropriate armor, without any appropriate body-armor or weapons, without appropriate training or support. It is Cheney American to see that these troops are denied the services needed to recover from wound received.
Naturally, Cheney would have preferred the troops simply died, it would make his life much simpler. Ah the Christian thing to do – murder, live by the sword, be a Dick ... Cheney.
Raise the “Battle Cry” – proclaim the propriety of murder. Hate is the way of the deity who 43 speaks to regularly. Hate is the way of Osama Bin Laden – the man who gives Cheney and 43 their targets and marching orders.
Raise the “Battle Cry” – grab the sword, be a good evangelical and murder all that live. Raise the “Battle Cry” – join “Battle Cry” and bring on Armageddon. Make life so bad that a savior must certainly arise. What will they do when none steps forth?
As 43 has said – that’s history and it doesn’t matter, because “we’ll all be dead.” Bush has made no secrete of it “we’ll all be dead.”
Cheney has made no secrete of it, he wants us dead before he dies – and his heart is weak and fading fast. We, they, have only two more yeas – in reality, only 20 more months.
Bush will help Latin Americans gain healthcare – by denying it to Americans. Bush will help Latin American poverty – by pushing Americans into poverty. The highest standard of living in the world is now being funded by credit cards.
The strongest economy in the world has been reduced to a debtor nation. We cannot manufacture our own technology, we cannot grow our own food, we cannot even exist without foreign workers to do everything – from the most menial to the most technologically sophisticated.
Please. Please. I beg you please. Listen to Dick – blame both houses of Congress for the stupidity of Iraq. Pour money down that rat hole. Let the begging of Osama Bin Laden’s fifty-first year of undisturbed life be pleasant. Disrupt, destroy, do all we can to encourage the disruption and destruction.
Pay for it with the health and education of your children. Look to the corporate world – the world of Bush and Cheney. Look to Cheney’s Haliburton ... even it appears to be getting out of America.
_____________________________________________________
Why not leave – the opportunities to plunder are vanishing; Our President is such an infant he cannot even mention the name of the President of a major South American nation. Bush is a baby – an immature, political destructive, Baby Bush.

Recurring theme ... Just the facts
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 8, 2007
Recurring theme: The Right-wing in America is an arm of Satan. Is that hard to grasp? For a quarter of Americans this reality verges on the impossible to understand; but then, they know what they are doing.
These people hate mankind, despise humanity and reject everything associated with being humane. They lie and deceive – just as they tell their gullible followers their master, Satan, will do.
Objective testing. We do not need to accept the mystical or religious concepts of evil and Satan as its embodiment. No that need not be accepted. All we need do is ask if harm can be done to ones neighbor – and if doing “harm” is the right thing to do?
A doctor dedicates themself to making money and doing no harm in the process; they dedicate themself to improving and maintaining the life of their fellow humans. They are dedicated to easing pain, and adding what elements of health they can to improve the quality of life.
The Right-wing, and its legions, is dedicated to bringing harm – and making greater profits in the process. They do this through wanton hypocrisy.
Look at the Bush Administration:
1. Balanced budgets, and budget surpluses, become record budget deficits – all based on lies and enriching the richest.
2. They attack education – by supporting Creationism and denying that there could be a creator who could “get it right” the first time; instead they promote a deity who is racked with errors and the need to make magical changes.
3. They attack education – by introducing No Child left Behind – an underfunded and il-conceived testing program designed to remove funds from education.
The removal is based on evaluations of a pattern of improvement which cannot possibly be attained through implementation of the process utilized – testing successive student populations as they pass through a given grade. These testings do nothing to help the students who fail the tests – those students are passed, without assistance, to the next grade and the next testing level – where they are compared to previous year classes, and not to see if they improved.
4. They argue for murder: One argument is to forbid abortion where the mother’s life is in danger – the argument is to kill the mother with no regard for the survival of the fetus. This is more egregious when it is known that the fetus cannot survive. It is still more egregious when the fetus survives and is condemned to a life of poverty or dependence upon continued medical treatment – which the parents cannot afford, and which the Right-wing denies is a basic humanitarian right.
5. They argue for murder: they lie to justify wars of choice and the killing of tens of thousands of innocents – as they did in Iraq; and they follow courses of actions which strengthen their corresponding evil in its efforts to disrupt and kill – their actions support Bin Laden’s ilk.
6. They argue for murder: They wave flags and yell support the troops – those they send, conscripted, diverted from their duty in breach of National Guard service contract – but when those troops are injured, they vote to reduce funding for military medical care. They impose a mountain of paperwork and complicated bureaucracy to prevent those who served from receiving necessary treatment. They block assistance to the families of those who served. Support? Spit on is their support.
7. Medical care? They deny it universally. They tell employers to provide it – while diligently working to ensure their NAFTA and other outsourcing policies are implemented to the fullest. Let employers provide medical insurance; but make sure that there are no employers who can provide it – because the employees are all in other nations.
8. Medical care? Give tax breaks for obtaining medical insurance, but make sure that there is little, if any taxable income – or any income sufficient to pay for that insurance. Look like you are being “good” while invoking and implementing your evil. Don’t worry, a quarter of the people are too stupid to notice – which is why they follow and support, and even promote, the Right-wing edicts of evil.
Yep, there is a continuing theme – falling on deaf ears and shining before the blind. Welcome an End-of -Days. Welcome Armageddon.

Magic and Mysticism in missing "In God We Trust"
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 8, 2007
Seems the US Mint goofed. The new Gold Washington Dollar lacks “In God We Trust,” making it an immediate collectors item – at least in terms of those minted prior to the mistake being spotted.
On the mundane level: It is estimated that as many as 50,000 coins managed to pass through the mind without the national motto. The first one sold went for $600; now that the number of error coins is believed known, the expected price is $50 each.
The excitement is on a more spiritual level. It the realm of those who believe in signs and portends of things to come, things are beginning to get interesting.
Religious fundamentalists, those believing we are approaching the “end-of-days” and incorporate the Mayan 2012 end of the grand cycle into their beliefs – along with other prophetic signs (such as the passage of practitioners of Hopi religious customs which was to precede their rapture) – are beginning to discuss the possibility that the lack of the message is a divine sign.
The current “end-of-days” signs and portends crowd seems to be embracing a belief that this was a reverse message of faith. That Hashem, Allah, or Christ is issuing these coins to the faithful.
The belief seems to be that those who have these coins enter their hands through no effort of their own – beyond the simple asking for the new dollar coins at their local, or nearest, bank – are marked as chosen for salvation.
It is believed that they, those into whose hands the coins come to rest, shall be among the survivors prophesied in the Book of revelation.
While few openly admit to their belief in the magic of these coins, it is clear from conversations within various spiritual groups that there is a strong mysticism developing around the symbolic absence of “In God We Trust” from the first coins depicting the first president, at a time when many seem this nation being dragged toward Armageddon – and the destruction of the Constitutional & Office beliefs espoused by Washington.
Also being mentioned is the symbolic echo of the prophecy which had correctly identified all popes over the past thousand years, and rightly named the current pope, Benedict, the last but one. As with the current Washington Administration, the last Bishop of Rome is to carry the same “given” name as the first.
Of course, for most Americans, the question is: “Who would believe this stuff?” But then, most Americans are beginning to ask how Hilary and others could have believed George’s lies over Iraqis WMD; or how they could have believed that the arch enemy of Al Qaeda was , in fact, working with Bin Laden – when the facts are now pointing to Bush 43 as the Al Qaeda associate.
Bush and his Right-wing conservative hypocritical puppet masters have taken us into debt – they violated what should have been the primary slogan of the United States, “In God We Trust – to all others we pay cash.”

The Dragon Awakens -- and speaks
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 7, 2007
Well, China is finally flexing its collective vocal muscle. Washington had best listen up – Beijing might cancel its allowance and poor Bush baby would have to cease playing toy soldier.
Washington opened its Conservative “Holier than thou” hypocritical mouth about human rights violations – and China stuck Georges foot in it.
Via the official Xinhua news agency: “As in previous years, the State Department pointed the finger at human rights conditions in more than 190 countries and regions, including China, but avoided touching on the human rights situation in the United States."
Well DUH! America is the land of bigots – leaches who prey upon the superstitions, ignorance and false piety of lambs seeking to be slaughtered.
China believes America is "relying on its strong military power, the United States has trespassed on the sovereignty of other countries and violated human rights in other countries."
Well Duh! Didn’t we follower a liar into an invasion of a sovereign nation which was, like it or not, our only real ally against Al Qaeda? Didn’t Georgie Boy manage to orchestrate the murder of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, and the destruction of their economy?
Of course he had just cause – it was the only way he could stop their oil from reaching the world markets. He couldn’t allow that. Why Iraq’s evasion of the embargoes was depressing world energy prices and making Georgie’s oil buddies lose all kinds of windfall profits.
Going on, China charged that “the United States has a flagrant record of violating the Geneva Convention in systematically abusing prisoners during the Iraqi war and the war in Afghanistan."
Well gee wiz, isn’t that what Conservative Christianity is all about? Hasn’t China ever heard of the Inquisition? Don’t they know about Witch Hunts? Or the pleasure this nation takes in placing people in jail for petty crimes – while the real criminals get elected to the Whitehouse? Ah gee ... somebody ought to tell Beijing the rules.
Should we even get into China’s views on our treatment of the poor? Or race issues? Or maybe, should we ask their views on American gender issues?
Hey, China burns coal – maybe we should talk Global Warming? Surely America must be on the positive side of that issue – we’re only five percent of the world population, while China is more than a quarter of the population; they must out do us on Green house gases.
OH ... opps ... forgot, America produces nearly a third of greenhouse gases and denies that there is any such thing as global warming – the ice caps melting is a figment of some scientists imagination, or there is a dispute over the science, or ... hum, what is the current presidential line?
Don’t let China’s view of reality disturb you. We’ll get even. We’ll refuse to accept any more loans from them. We’ll refuse to buy any more goods – we’ll let the shelves of Walmart and all the other stores go empty. That will teach China to be honest.
And when we are done with China, we can get into the accusations about the way we treat our wounded soldiers – we’ll show them! We can double – no triple – the cuts to the military medical budget. That will teach the world to criticize Washington and Baby Bush.

The Lost Tomb of Jesus - Media Bullshit 101
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 3, 2007
Media hype 101 – if reality is too hard to deal with, cover fantasy and non-issues. So it is that we have been engulfed in the trials and tribulations of Anna Nicole Smith and the supposed Tomb of Jesus.
Anna got her tomb and a royal sendoff. For someone typified in numerous articles as a “B actress”, stripper and billionaire’s widow, this multimillionaire seemed to have done quite well for herself.
If it were only that here detractors were not praying they too could have been so successful, there might have been a reason to spread all that ink. “Whoever dies with the most toys wins”– Anna won well.
_____________________________________________________
Date Line March 3, 2007
Now we have the story closest to my heart – the idea that there is a basis for a documentary proclaiming to have the tomb of Jesus and his family.
Oh shades of “The Da Vinci Code” – are we to believe that there is really a tomb and that we now know the mtDNA of Mary the wife, and Mary the mother? Oh so cute.
Oh how cute is the idea that this revelation would stand religion on its head; the idea that Jews would be upset over the known association of Jesus – the Rabbi – to the Jewish community of the first three centuries in our western calendar; the idea that Christians would be bent out of shape to discover they follow superstitious myth when there is fact to be had. Oh the poor fools fear being proved the fool.
A few facts to shape the argument that isn’t:
1. The yDNA is either mortal or divine – and nobody can retrieve it, so nobody knows what it might tell us.
2. That there is DNA tells nothing of who owned it. Are the relics of Jesus’ blood? If they were to exist, would they been tested? And if tested, positive results – clades, SNP’s, DYS markers, haplotypes and haplogroups would be revealed; thus proving the myths to be just that.
3. If we have mtDNA, whose is it? What basis of comparison exists for that? It is like “The Da Vinci Code”, but with the exception that there is no continuous 2000 year paper trail to accompany the bones.
Look at the argument used to denounce:
1. The box said “Jesus son of Joseph; the rebuttal is that the followers called him Jesus son of Mary. Idiots! Where is Joseph mentioned in the events of the cross? Was Joseph alive? We know of the mother, the brothers and sisters – but where the father? Would not the followers know Jesus by the woman who was with him, not but a father unknown to them.
2. The box said “Jesus son of Joseph; sons were identified by their deeds or by their father. It is natural for this to be the message on the tomb.
3. To say that Jesus was not known via his father Joseph is to show ignorance of the scriptural text, wherein does it not have the query: “Is this not the carpenter’s son?” Where Joseph was known, thus was identified Jesus.
4. The idea of a tomb, which denotes a person and family of means and reputation, has caused complaint. But think about our society – are not contractors among the successful? A carpenter was a skilled trade with special tools (and lacking hardware stores, or Industrial Arts classes in schools there were few amateurs in contracting and the construction fields). Why couldn’t Joseph have afforded a tomb?
The denunciations, and media hype, are simpleminded games targeted at simple minded people, with the hope of creating the buzz needed to make the documentary profitable.
The reality is? There is no basis in evidence or fact to make the link in a way which would threaten the superstitious beliefs held so dear by fools. However, the failure to produce the DNA results cheats the academic community of a vital tool in identifying the historic origins and associations of the people of the period.
Imagine if the DNA belonged to an African, an Egyptian, and not a Jew? Suddenly there is a real reason not to publish the results.

Media hype 101 – if reality is too hard to deal with, cover fantasy and non-issues. So it is that we have been engulfed in the trials and tribulations of Anna Nicole Smith and the supposed Tomb of Jesus.
Anna got her tomb and a royal sendoff. For someone typified in numerous articles as a “B actress”, stripper and billionaire’s widow, this multimillionaire seemed to have done quite well for herself.
If it were only that here detractors were not praying they too could have been so successful, there might have been a reason to spread all that ink. “Whoever dies with the most toys wins”– Anna won well.

Now we have the story closest to my heart – the idea that there is a basis for a documentary proclaiming to have the tomb of Jesus and his family.
Oh shades of “The Da Vinci Code” – are we to believe that there is really a tomb and that we now know the mtDNA of Mary the wife, and Mary the mother? Oh so cute.
Oh how cute is the idea that this revelation would stand religion on its head; the idea that Jews would be upset over the known association of Jesus – the Rabbi – to the Jewish community of the first three centuries in our western calendar; the idea that Christians would be bent out of shape to discover they follow superstitious myth when there is fact to be had. Oh the poor fools fear being proved the fool.
A few facts to shape the argument that isn’t:
1. The yDNA is either mortal or divine – and nobody can retrieve it, so nobody knows what it might tell us.
2. That there is DNA tells nothing of who owned it. Are the relics of Jesus’ blood? If they were to exist, would they been tested? And if tested, positive results – clades, SNP’s, DYS markers, haplotypes and haplogroups would be revealed; thus proving the myths to be just that.
3. If we have mtDNA, whose is it? What basis of comparison exists for that? It is like “The Da Vinci Code”, but with the exception that there is no continuous 2000 year paper trail to accompany the bones.
Look at the argument used to denounce:
1. The box said “Jesus son of Joseph; the rebuttal is that the followers called him Jesus son of Mary. Idiots! Where is Joseph mentioned in the events of the cross? Was Joseph alive? We know of the mother, the brothers and sisters – but where the father? Would not the followers know Jesus by the woman who was with him, not but a father unknown to them.
2. The box said “Jesus son of Joseph; sons were identified by their deeds or by their father. It is natural for this to be the message on the tomb.
3. To say that Jesus was not known via his father Joseph is to show ignorance of the scriptural text, wherein does it not have the query: “Is this not the carpenter’s son?” Where Joseph was known, thus was identified Jesus.
4. The idea of a tomb, which denotes a person and family of means and reputation, has caused complaint. But think about our society – are not contractors among the successful? A carpenter was a skilled trade with special tools (and lacking hardware stores, or Industrial Arts classes in schools there were few amateurs in contracting and the construction fields). Why couldn’t Joseph have afforded a tomb?
The denunciations, and media hype, are simpleminded games targeted at simple minded people, with the hope of creating the buzz needed to make the documentary profitable.
The reality is? There is no basis in evidence or fact to make the link in a way which would threaten the superstitious beliefs held so dear by fools. However, the failure to produce the DNA results cheats the academic community of a vital tool in identifying the historic origins and associations of the people of the period.
Imagine if the DNA belonged to an African, an Egyptian, and not a Jew? Suddenly there is a real reason not to publish the results.
