Hillary Clinton can't be secretary of State till she has been properly "vetted". They have to determine whether any of husband Bill's many financial contact will compromise her job performance. Tom Dashel has been made Secretary of Health and Human Services. On the Rachael Maddau show there was talk about trying to finally go for the single payer health insurance plan. This would solve a lot of problems, and it might just be an idea whose time has come, at least on a trial basis for three or four years or so to see how the American people like it. Meanwhile someone from Al Qaeda called Obama a "House Negro" today. Obviously someone in Al Qaeda believes Obama has been co-opted by the Republicans. Tom Dashel is a hated figure by the Republicans. We know this because of the numerous references on the Rush Limbaugh show. Many are starting to wonder why Obama is picking Washington insiders when he ran as an outsider. Obama picked Eric Holder at Attorney General. This guy is contraversial because of his involvement in the Ilian Gonsolez abduction case where the FBI broke in to a residence in the dead of night the Saturday morning before Easter of 2000 and shipped little Gonsolez back to his communist father in Cuba. It was not a good day for liberty. Also there is the matter of involvement in the pardoning of Mark Rich just before Clinton left office. Holder is Black.
Many people are discussing the possible bail out of General Mortors and the other US Auto manufacturers. I've thought about it a while and determined that it seems like a prudent move to make at this time. We can't afford more massive job losses and surrendering the last vestages of our Auto industry to Japan and Germany. In addition to just the loss of employment, the government would lose its tax base as well as support for any health plans and Social Security. But there are others who say if General Motors declared Chapter eleven bankruptsy that the company could tear up all their Union contracts. Auto workers get paid $71.00 an hour, if you can believe that. That's mighty high cotton. It's easy to see how Auto Companies could feel that the unions were squeezing them dry. There is talk that GM stock might be selling for zero by the end of the year. If that's the case put me down for ten shares. But now we hear that because of these republicans still in congress the auto bail out provision of any bill won't be passed at all. This congress has worked too hard. It's time to take a powder.
Now three legal suits have been approved to be heard by the California Supreme Court when it comes to getting rid of proposition eight and reinstituting gay marriage. Jerry Brown is sympathetic to the cause of these prostesters, and from here it looks like they've got a better than even chance of overturning the will of the people last November 4th. I know of no legal precident where people previously married could now be declared to be living in sin.
They are making progress with stem cell research all the time. Now they are combining organs from dead people with a person's own stem cells to grow new vital organs. If this becomes wide spread many ailments, use your imagination, could well become a thing of the past. I can tell you this. A lot of ADHD could be eliminated in kids if they'd just cut out sugar. Also many people could benefit from these sublingual B 12, folic acid and B6 tablets they're selling on the radio. I have remarked that I believe as a teenager I suffered from a B 12 deficiency and my school work was compromized. Many people in the mental health system, and I ought to know, are in kind of a self perpetuating revolving door with either apathetic or incompetent doctors. It's much easyer to just warehouse people. On the radio today I heard that any manager's worst nightmare is an employee that not only spots a vital flaw in "the system" but has a ready made solution. Many people in authority prefer not to rock the boat at any cost.
You've heard me talk about "The Four Jesuses". Let's review the first of these four figures. There is a story that keeps cropping up in either Egyptian or Roman history about a figure who somehow outsmarted Pilate and escaped crusifiction. There is a story Tassitus tells of an Egyptian who declared that the Jewish Temple would be destroyed. One version of this story has Pilate examining him and letting him go because he was insane. Other versions of this story tell how he led a night raid on Jerusalem but escaped in battle. Jesus is recorded as welling the Jewish authorities "I am going away and where I go you can't follow". Dylan has the lyric "When your rooster crows at the break of dawn, look out your window and I'll be gone". There is the matter of "comming after me with lanterns and torches". If there was a full passover moon this would be unnecessary. But one more thing all four Gospells mention is this mystery man who bore the cross of Jesus. Interestingly nowhere is there any relating of any conversation between Jesus and this man. There is an indication this man was called "Crestus" and not "Kristos". Three independant sources place him in Rome and very much alive in fifty AD, long after 33 AD. The date when he "would have" been crusified would be November 24th. of 29 AD. There are few indicators of the time of year. We can take a cue from the reference to building fires to keep warm that it at least was cold at night. We know that it was not the season for figs. We also know that fig trees lose their leaves, and that a logical time to do this would be in the fall. And scripture says "and the next day the tree was withered". We know that this group was anarchistic. According to the movie "Barrabus" (another mystery charactor) there were people in the fire of 64 AD in Rome who went about lighting fires. Tassitus refers to Christians as "the most hated and detestable of groups". This group was anarchistic. It was not friendly to Rome. Both Acts and Tassitus make the same reference to this "Egyptian". We know Bible writers threw in the text "I called my son out of Egypt". Well, this is something to think about. You'll have to look for all the other references to "the Egyptian" in my past blogs.
