President Obama’s track
record as any kind of economic reformer is almost nil. But of course you have the Country Wide and
the Bank of America scandals. They may
have to pay some token amount for their misdeeds but the system rigs it so the
public they harmed gets no recompence of cash – not to mention emotional
distress. I don’t see why these
“financially injured’ people don’t file a class action law suit. That’s what it’s for. Not for imaginary second hand smoke. Of course you owe your soul to a
corporation. They can fire you for any
sort of misconduct of “misdemeanor” against the corporation which may put them
in a bad light. I guess if you work for
FOX news you can lose your job if you don’t get out that repeat stories you
know are total lies. That’s the say our
system works. Our American System no
longer honors justice- - like the Bible talks about.
There was boucoups news
about criminals and prisoners on Eye Witness News yesterday. There was this guy in Ridgecrest who killed
someone in a house and the cops discovered the body and then this guy wanted to
take a gun to the police station and start killing cops. Then there was this extended car chase on 395
and once the trunk popped open and there were two hostages in the trunk. This changed how the cops handled the whole
thing. Then the driver began firing at
anybody and everybody like other motorists- - and at the cops and then first
two shots in the direction of the back seat injuring the hostages in the trunk-
- and this is when the cops decided to take this guy out, and I don’t mean to
dinner. Then there is the case of the
‘Pillowcase Rapist” who terrorized southern California in the late ‘70’s and
early eighties and he served a thirty year prison term but one time he got out
and committed more rapes. Now they want
to let this lifer out again and showed this house in the desert where he would
be living and the whole neighborhood rose up to complain, mentioning all the
school kids that live in the area. And
in general there is the release of ten thousand prisoners scheduled due to
over-crowding. Some places have already
been remedied and a gymnasium can again be used for its attended athletic
purpose and not to house another one hundred prisoners. But of course Jerry Brown is taking steps to
privatize the prison system. The last
thing we’d ever think of is trying to keep people out of prison. We need all these private run prisons in
other states to handle our over-flow. It’s
a regular industry we’ve got. And five
people were busted in some major child pornography ring on the internet
“covering children from one to sixteen”.
Glad to know they don’t discriminate.
He’s an equal opportunity ruiner of lives. And finally we have that ten year old kid who
shot his Nazi father while he slept- - and now is thirteen. I’m not usually a softy but it can be argued
this kid never “had a childhood” and never had any idea what a normal childhood
consisted of, and the past three years of his life he’s been in these
rehabilitation facilities and apparently is doing well. Maybe they should keep this guy locked up for
another ten years or so or until he’s around 25 or something. And perhaps in this period they can gradually
give him more and more privileges of movement- as he proves he merits that.
I would like to talk more about liars and what motivates them to lie, and just how they lie. Isn't it funny that the chief constituancy of the Tea Party are the very rich and the very poor and ignorant among us. One could say there is a certain "relationship" between these two groups and how one was meant to Serve the Other. But with Christianity amazingly you have the same thing. You have the very rich- - who are donated to by the very poor. You've all heard that story about that German priest who lived in a fifty million dollar complex of ten buildings on his property- - and Pope Francis just demoted him - hopefully by making him serve pennance as a missionary in Ghana or something. But in addition to the Tea Party- - another parellel that has long gotten my attention is the similarity of the Catholic Church to the Communist Party. Once again here you have "The Party" and if you are in with "The Party" you get government privelege to lord it over your fellow man. Given the basic "founding principles" of both the Communist Party and the Catholic Church- - you'd think people would feel some sort of guilt or unworthiness at being given the leave to Prosper while your fellow man was suffering with his daily grind. John Lennon had the situation pegged along ago, "- - and you think you're so cleaver and classless and Free, but you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see". We know that the church was into acquiring wealth early on because of the wealth Pope Sylvester already had. Even at that time they were doing things like venerating the bones of the apostles and "selling splinters from the Cross" to tourists. Even the Media doesn't "get it", not that that's anything unusual for them. They celebrate the idea that Jesus the Messiah appealed to the very rich and the very poor. So it's no wonder why they hate President Obama who appeals to what used to be the vast "middle class", which America used to be known for. But these people lie very skillfully or "Dexterously" to borrow from Hamlet. They spend their webs of deceit and their little stories "With all dexterity". Last night's program on KCOP definitely flagged my attention. It's about this guy who wanted to murder his wife or something. And he figured he could do it by pushing her off a high ledge- - and then leaving a suicide note written in her own hand explaining just why she did herself in going into various details of her recent life. It so happened this was a twenty year old letter. This was some sort of college class reunion. And there were details in the note about having "Lunch with Trudy" and her dog named "tangerine" (a most unusual name) and eating lunch at Roccos - - and accidently breaking the glass of the window to the science lab on campus. So what the perpetrater of the murder did was to duplicate all of these events and manipulate people like pawns into doing exactly what he wanted them to do to "set up the scenario" the way he wanted it. And he almost succeeded. But how does a Christian "sell" something that never happened? Justin Martyr in his historical writings- what I've seen of them spoke of a "spiritual" resurrection if "you believed". There was no talk about tombs or rolling away the stone on Easter morning- - or in the flesh encounters with Disciples. So really the whole thing had about as much relevence as Peter Pan as anything REAL we could latch onto in our daily lives. Most of what we know about the Christian faith began to be "spun" approximately a hundred years after the alleged events even happened. One hundred years is a long time. That's several generations. One thing about Christianity I have ALWAYS had a problem with- - from Day One - - is this prophecy stuff. It was either ripped out of all recognizable context- - or in some cases the text or the original prophecy had to be "re translated into the Greek" in gross alterations of the Meaning. But even then you have this bizzare awkwardness and implausability about the whole thing- - where to trace Christian history literally as it's written in the Bible- - certain absurdities come up, which we've dealt with before. Let's just take some very basic stuff. Three Kinds from the East came bearing gifts to Jesus. Who were they? How come they never wrote about Jesus in their own memwires. They returned to their own country. Did they tell their own people about Jesus? And why "from the east"? Could it be that this basic Jesus birth myth was Pursian in origen so the lie spinners had to do a little tip of the hat to Iran? Chuck Smith waxes eloquent about the famous Decree of Ceasar that demanded that "Everyone register according to a uniquely Jewish system of race accountability. Sch a cencus never happened in 6 BC. This is historical fact. Pilate never granted a Passover amnesty. Everybody agrees he didn't. And even King Herod, though terrible, never ordered the murder of tens of thousands of babies under two hoping to kill the Jewish Messiah. If anybody living today were to call themselves "The Messiah" they would have birth records and the hospital would be known, as well as who his legal mother and father are. With Jesus we have none of this. It's almost as if the Prince of Peace- - the very Son of God Himself has to as it were "sneak into the world to be born". But we pile on absurdity above absurdity. For instance- - this whole Roman Decree thing- - doesn't appear in Tatians version of the Gospells who lived 170 or so AD, nor does it appear in Marcion's Luke about 150 AD. Not only that but often ancient writers quote other writers, but they leave out passages THAT WERE ADDED centuries later. Coincidence you say? They somehow "failed to quote' stuff that didn't yet exist. Then we have this whole "Son in law of Eli" crap. Because Christians teach that Luke's account of Jesus' geniology is actyally Mary's geniology because somehow, so they say- - Every Last Copy of Luke- - has the key words "son in law" not there in the text. But these people are SURE that it had to be there at one time. And then we have things like how Jesus appeared to five hundred people at once, by Paul. Five hundred is a lot of people. So what happened to these five hundred "witnesses to the resurrection" and potential Gospel writers, ever one. They are never heard from again. No church no nothing. And then we hear that after Easter that Jesus desciples "taught in the Jewish Temple". You mean the one they were thrown out of because Jesus drove out all the cattle and turned over the tables of the money changers? That one? It's highly unlikely they would EVER be welcome back there. Oh - -and then they quote things and even get the wrong book for something that doesn't make sense. Like "Rachael weeping for her children" is supposed to be about the Herodian genocide of children. And I've often told you that the Book of Acts makes numerous references to things that hadn't happened yet IF it was from when it claims to be. It would be like having push button phones in "All the President's Men" at the Washington Post. It would have made their job a lot easier. John, the love Apostle- - devotes a whole letter to 'You know there are certain people and groups you just can't trust- -so shun them". In fact there is a general theme of these "late"episdles about Heritics creeping in unbeknownst among us. Just think about all this, OK?
