Obama Administration Organizes Government Terror

Eisenhower isn't the only President who organizes coups of nations with democratically elected governments we don't like.  Obama and Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton is doing it right now- - and is responsible for a good part of the problem in Honduras we are facing right now.  Hillary Clinton plans to put off as long as possible her announcement she's running for President till "late into 2015" as opposed to Obama astoundingly early announcement of February 2007.  Hillary's go is to give her potential political opponents as little time as possible to organize a campaign against her, as well as to "suck up all the money and endorsements in the room" in advance, so that any potential political opponents are left with nothing.  So don't be surprised when you see this happen.

The answer to that question is remarkably clear, and it started actually in 2009.  In that year, a military coup, which was initiated by fewer than a dozen aristocratic or “oligarchic” families of Honduras, overthrew that country’s popular and democratically elected progressive President Manuel Zelaya. As the present reporter has previously documented in detail, the then-Secretary-of-State Hillary Clinton immediately after the coup blocked the efforts of virtually all other nations’ heads-of-state, they being opposed to the coup; and she also prevailed upon the then-dithering U.S. President Barack Obama to agree to provide crucially needed ongoing U.S. military and financial assistance to the coup-imposed government, for a long-enough period of time so that that government could finally become accepted internationally as the “legitimate government” of Honduras. This legitimation was done by means of the usual rigged “elections,” in which the post-coup “interim government” was replaced by a head-of-state whom the voters selected from a pre-screened field of candidates whose every member was approved by the controlling council of oligarchs — those very same ruling families who had overthrown Zelaya. The names of those families are included in my previous news-report, along with the details of how Clinton, Obama, and all congressional Republicans (then under the guidance of the head of the Heritage Foundation, the former U.S. Senator, Jim DeMint), propped up and sustained Honduras’s dictators in power.  As I reported there:  Fox “News” Latina bannered, on 7 October 2011, “Honduras Led World in Homicides in 2010,” and (since Rupert Murdoch’s Fox is a Republican front) pretended that this had happened because Latin America was violent — not because Fox’s Republican friends had had their way in policy on Honduras, and had thus caused the Honduran murder-rate to soar. (During the latest year, whereas homicides had declined in all of the other high-homicide nations, homicides had skyrocketed 22% in Honduras — and that’s why Honduras now led the world in homicides, but Fox “News” didn’t mention any of these facts.) The NYT article goes on to note the close association between the high murder-rates and the influx of these children into the U.S.:  “Basically, the places these people are coming from are the places with the highest homicide rates,” said Manuel Orozco, a senior fellow at the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based research group. “The parents see gang membership around the corner. Once your child is forced to join, the chances of being killed or going to prison is pretty high. Why wait until that happens?” … Children are killed for refusing to join gangs. … Many activists here suggest they are also murdered by police officers willing to clean up the streets by any means possible.  So, a soaring murder-rate (by both the gangs and the police) is a key legacy of the Clinton-Obama-DeMint lock-in of fascism in Honduras. This is part of the picture behind that flood of child-refugees, but only part. The rest has to do with the broader economic and social policies of the post-coup Honduran government, which simply despises the masses of poor, in this, the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

We have news that should brighten the day of democrats.  John can’t just waltz into a Federal Court and say “President Obama is a bozo, or a dictator, or incompetent” or whatever.    In fact there are a series of conditions any suit in Federal Court must meet and failure to meet any one condition gets the whole suit thrown out.   Normally they say you have to have “Standing” meaning you have actually been “injured”.    And normally the only two reasons you can sue in federal court is either some constitutional rights violation, or else interstate commerce where the amount in dispute is in excess of $75,000.   “This amount is being raised all the time”.    But what else do the Republicans have going now?  There are only a few weeks left before their five week vacation, after which they’ll soon be in campaign and money raising mode.  So Bengazi is out as an issue.  The economy really isn’t much of an issue any more.  Maybe government statistics are rigged, but many believe them.  Obama Care is dead as an issue.  It seems that over seventy percent of Republicans are happy with the Affordable Care Act.  The Republicans have their own private polling service, so they are aware of these things.   The President is talking very boldly today.  It has yet to be determined whether this suddenly fired up Obama will play any better than the Old one did.   Unemployment extension and the immigration bill would pass the House if either were ever allowed to come up for an up or down vote.  John Boehner has singularly blocked this.   Rather Boehner is saying “The President has been avoiding responsibility for everything for five and a half years, and the President is wholly responsible for this immigration crisis”.     There are surveys about FOX news and fact checkers.  It seems that over fifty percent of everything FOX says are “Pants on fire- blatant lying”.  There is another thirty percent of highly misleading half truths.   Only eighteen percent of the statements are completely truthful.   The trouble of course is that people not only want, but “need to be lied to” because they have been psychologically set up to “need” to have certain false beliefs reaffirmed.

Israel is not winning any friends in the International Community by their leader's vow to "Ignore all international pressure to stop the bombings".  An alarmingly high number of civilians, and especially children have been hit.  Hartman states that in terms of damage and deaths suffered- - Gaza has suffered far more than Judah has.   If you are looking for a cosmic perspective- - The Press all through the Federation has been very hostile and scathing tword Israel.  To me it seems "As the Christians we claim to be" there just has to be another way to solve the problem".  Or do I speak nonsense?

"Psychotherapy hot line menu - - If you have substance abuse problems hit 1 - -if you are obsessive compulsive- - hit the number "4" over and over for the next minute.  If you are so dependant- - get someone else to press a "2" for you.   If you are multi personality - - hit 5, 6, and 7.   If you are manic hit 8 and if depressive hit 3 and if you hit both we'll know you're having rapid mood swings.  And if you are a paranoid- - we're watching you all the time and already know what you are thinking.  Have a nice day."

Paul came over and he had a big bag of oversized oranges with him.  I declined the figs.  Paul had the connector cord with him, and after some false starts we got the thing working with the camera and picture.   Paul put the plugs in the wrong row.   But I’m afraid I really stepped in it when  Chicago radio said that we needed buffer zones for abortion clinic protestors.  I said 35 feet was not enough- - and then I caught myself and said- - - Oh, you don’t want ANY buffer zone, do you?   That’s the position that Bones has, that abortion is such a serious thing- - any measures short of physical violence are good and proper in an attempt to prevent it.   I kind of finessed my position on birth control - - and just said “I think it should be an arrangement between the employer and the worker what sort of health services are offered to the employee.  

  I listened to Bill Carol over the lunch hour, which I have begun to make a habit of.  I am ain agreement with these Feminists who want to make an ass of the Disney Corp because frankly I think it’s just a little unhealthy for little girls to be brainwashed with all that “princess” stuff.  The only people who would watch a Disney movie are gay men and straight women who don’t know any better.  These posters showed all the Disney princeses such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Jasmine, and the Little Mermaid, all bashed up with blackened eyes and swollen lips and bloody.   I think that’s the perfect way to drive the point home.   Eve and JJ have come to a very fragile “accord” of sorts.  The thing is, I think Eve would like to jump into bed with him.   And strictly as a matter of the flesh, I can see the appeal of some accord with Eve over Page, even if you are selling out your mother and your late father.   Samantha is like a woman possessed and obsessed and she brags that “She’s just getting started”.  Now she can’t wait to tell her son, the gay boy, and his lover, how she and Kate took over the Di Mira Enterprises.   Suppose E J and perhaps Stephano decided to rat Sammy and Kate out about their role in Nick Fallon’s attempted murder.   You gotta admit it makes a pretty compelling story.  It might even be a good movie.   Samantha thinks she’s Shelden Adelson or somebody now, and wants the world to kneel and kiss her ring.

 I had Stephanie Miller on computer, both before and after the light bar- - - no - - breakfast.   I went to the store for a dollar coffee paying for it with four quarters.  I drank it here.  We had oatmeal for breakfast followed by two waffles and a bacon slice.   An attendant gave me an extra cup of coffee.  I could always use that added lift.  I had Bill Press on for about the last twenty minutes before nine.  Then I had Thom Hartman on.   I also had Chris Matthews on after ten, because I heard he attacked Hillary Clinton last night for her part in defending a rape case as a public defender when she was 27.   That wasn’t on.  Stephanie said it’s though Chris Matthews and Glen Beck had switched bodies because Glen was with the refugees at the El Paso border.  President Obama says he did not want a cheap photo op.   Rick Perry – glasses and all - - was “interviewed’ by Sean Hannity and Perry raked Obama over the coals.

Keeping a Pledge

I made a pledge to God a few days ago that if I ever found that camera connector cable that was stolen, when I found it, I would then agree to support the Tea Party and everything they stood for.  I guess it all hangs on what the meaning of the word "It" is.  Paul has a cord just like it, after he understood the exact discription of it.  First I was told he probably didn't have it, and then that he definitely did not have it.  And just now when I talked to Paul myself, he has it.  Problem solved, knock on wood.  Tomorrow is the lucky date 7 - 11.  Of course in 1997 it was the last full day of Ken Hancock's life.  He had a massive heart attack and died the next morning while I was watching Saturday morning cartoons.  (You remember Ken, John Hancock's little brother)  Of course I haven't gotten any messages from the dead, my growing number of acquaintences that have died.

Well, being the man of Christian values I am, I think it's a good idea to occasionally put yourself in the place of the other person with which you have issues.  (That's putting it mildly)  I think if we try there are actually issues we can agree on.  We both agree that adultry, or marital infidelity is wrong.  (I even say that in my book and it's about the ONLY thing I say along those lines in my book)  We both believe in a work ethic, or at least I hope we would.  We could agree that if your big screen TV and expensive 5.1 sound system is stolen right out from under you- - that you would welcome the presence of the Police, who would help you find it - and capture the thief.  We both agree in "Providing for the common defense".   I would hope we would agree on other things in the Preamble to the Constitution that Marcia recited by memory the other day.  We want to establish Justice, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and posterity.  And I would hope we would agree that it's a part of legitimate government function to "Promote the general welfare".  But now we start to encounter problems.  Because I believe all People were endowed by certain inailable Rights.  I haven't read chapter one of Genesis lately but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anything about Corporations being created in the image of God.  Corporations don't die.  They can't be arrested or go to jail.  Corporations can acquire wealth endlessly without a break.  Corporations don't have to pay an Inheritence tax, because corporations never die.  Corporations don't receive the Death Penalty if they are found guilty of comitting countless deaths, like the big time polluters are.  Given a choice between helping People and helping Corporations, I would hope the government would fall on the side of helping People.  We know that it is People who earn money and go out and spend it and stimulate the production of goods and commerce and jobs.  Without capital- - this process can't get started because there is nothing to spend, and therefore little or none of the conditions necessary for growth in the economy.  So let's look at the tax rates and tax subsedies.  Corporations are trans-national and stash all their money and attract jobs overseas, where it can't do the US economy any good.  I think we can agree that a good economy is part of what would be called "The general welfare" that needs to be promoted.  Providing shovel ready jobs and other government jobs programs, or promoting fair interest rates that aren't double the market rate- - for students to pay- - promotes the general and more specifically the academic welfare of the country, and has the effect of reducing unemployment.  Bringing immigrants "out of the shadows" promotes higher paying jobs and increased tax revenue collection on these people, reducing the federal deficet.  People who work - - do labor - - for a living- - should not pay a higher tax rate than rich guys sitting around the swimming pool waiting for the dividend checks to roll in.   Warren Buffee is quite correct.  If we truely believe in a "work ethic' as the Puricans practice- - tax rates will be adjusted accordingly.  We also know that higher corporate and business tax rates promote reinvestment of earnings capital- - which will provide for yet more jobs.  Because people can take depretiations for capital investments, as well as deduct the cost of paying those added employees as payroll expense.  See how that works?

Let's talk about this trans-national Commerce which the Koch Brothers and the Tea Party are so in love with.  For one you do know that the historic "tea party" or "the destruction of the tea" as it was originally known, was a protest AGAINST big international Commerce, don't you?  In fact there used to be an Anti Semetic element and the stereotype of the "Jewish Banker" in all of this.  But, not to shock you or anything but I would consider Richard Moore very "Jewish" in his financial dealings.  What I mean is that I find him to be a very Fair person.  He seldom gives out things for Nothing, but he's likely the best deal you're likely to get around here, either buying or selling something.  The idea of tying in these trans-national Corporations today and making them out to have the status of victims like the Jewish merchants were in Nazi Germany starting on November 9th 1938, this to me is a grevious afront to the Jewish people.  Jews are reasonable people.  (We'll leave Dr Levy out of the discussion for the moment)  On the Norman Goldman program today there was a person of Jewish extraction, who had moral problems with all the violence going on now in the Mideast, as do I.  One talk show host pointed out that just as we have Dick Chaneys here, there are "Dick Chaneys' in the Israeli government, too.  I would like to side with everything the book of Revelations says about this later day International Commerce.  Indeed it's one place in the whole Bible that hints at the fact that God regards human trafficking and slavery as morally offensive.  However the latest buzz from the Federation is to tread lightly on this international Commerce.  Because indeed this "Whore of Babylon" is an Allay that I may need- - in my battle against what we refer to as "The Alcyonnized Sutterans", which are worse.  You use an enemy to fight an enemy.  I do not know if the Catholic Church herself is this "Whore of Babylon" or not.  At the time the book of Revelation was written- - the Catholic Church was not decked out in ornate gold baubles and expensive jewelry and rare art works and other priceless artifacts.  Besides if you read the tea leaves correctly- - the Antichrist when he comes will do away with all of this Commerce.  People who read Revelations forget this.  Believe it or not- - cosmically there are worse things than the Tea Party and the Koch Brothers out there.  (Selah)

Certainly the Media in this country has behaved in a Whorish manner.  If there is a guy who believes the moon is made out of green cheese FOX news will have him on.  And they'll put him against a world renound geologist- - and the green cheese guy will talk over the geologist.  And FOX news will pronounce it "Fair and Balanced coverage of this issue".  We hear that Michelle Bachman and Louie Gomer are dingbats.  This is a free country.  People are free to believe what they wish.  That's their god given right.  Stephanie Miller was on one of these "Fair and Balanced' shows on CNN I guess.  I don't know about this Candy Crowley or whoever.  I'm not quite sure she's kosher.  We have heard a lot of nasty accusations against the Koch Brothers.  British Petroleum does these adds about the Gulf Coast saying "Come on down!  We have the welcome mat out for you".  I am not entirely opposed to such self serving adds. One might almost call such ads a recompence for the damage they have done to these Gulf merchants.  In a sense they are Owed - - - Something from BP.  These ads could be a form of payment.  I heard the charge leveled today that the big Oil Companies are using the same "trick" the tobacco companies used.  They do PR campaigns to soften their image and to say "You see - - we aren't so bad".  And they relocate to third world countries.  Kind of analogus to perhaps a Senior might have roomers spread against him spread by some social clique- - so this guy moves to Sophomore girls, who don't care.  All they know is that he's an older guy who is interested in them and appears really macho.  So in the Third World companies- - when it comes to Global Warming and climate change and pollution - - They Don't Care.  All they know is that some rich benefactor is proving Jobs and an overall Rise in the standard of living for these people.  They don't care about how the earth may fry tomorrow, as long as they have money in their pocket books today.  (Selah)   The charge was also levied against Fred Koch, the father of David and Charles Koch- - that Fred did business with Stalin and helped the Soviet Union become an Industrial Giant providing Refinaries and such to make them energy competitive.  We also hear that the House passed a bill virtually undoing all the provisions in the Dodd Frank bill.  It is not my position to judge the rightness or wrongness of this.  That is God's judgement call to make.  My motto at this point is "whatever side my bread is buttered on- - that's the side I'll go with.   I know that doesn't make sense to any of you who haven't gotten the Message I have gotten from "The Other Side".   I'm exercising my freedom as an American to believe what I want.

It's a convention that the difference between a Comedy and a Drama is that in a Comedy, the Characters never "Grow" personally.  This is what makes the same gags hysterically funny over and over again.  But then you have Samantha, who isn't a Comic Book character.  So it was the soap opera and you know something?  I’m not buying this “wronged woman” from Samantha one bit.  She’s enjoying this little charade all too much- - wallowing, almost luxuriating in every lurid reminiscence.   She said she got the security tape of the building where a camera caught them having sex in the shower.  She said she was suspicious from that instant on.  In one sense EJ is lucky because now there is no need to hide the affair.  Samantha, never the diplomatic one, can get pretty tacky.  With a total disregard of the sex tape her mother was tricked into playing at church, she shows the photos of the affair to Abigail and her mother.  Samantha seems to know every last detail about E J’s involvement with Abigail.   She’s known about it for weeks.  And yet went right ahead full steam with the wedding plans and seemed almost giddy with anticipation.  EJ says of her, “She looks at me wide eyed like a pussy cat, almost purring with delight”, but all the while she’s a betraying snake. That bit of almost forcibly roping Abigail in to do all the stuff at the wedding- - is psycho almost of Norman Bates perportions.  But the bottom line is that Samantha never would have been true.  She would have betrayed E J sooner or later, just like she betrayed Raphael, and I’ve never quote gotten the explanation for THAT one.  But Samantha never feels guilty about anything.  She’s a lying, conniving bitch.  And that’s why she doesn’t have any friends.   Oh – one more thing.  All of Samantha’s well laid plans may be for naught because do you remember in the wedding ceremony where they say “If there are any here who know a cause why these two should not be united in marriage, let him (or her) speak now or forever hold his (or her) peace.   So the Church itself may annul the ceremony.  And the Stephano Corporation may be able to come after her legally for committing misrepresentation and fraud.  That’s right.  Now Eve isn’t just satisfied with money.  She also wants production rights over the movie to Jack’s book.  She wants to corrupt the message to make more money.

The Whole World Is A Hell Hole

"- - - and whatever it is that you are thinking of doing right now - - - - - Don't Do It"

The whole world is going to Hell.  This world is a hell hole.  It seems to be a very bad year for the Bull run.  The bulls are more agressive this year or something.  "It's always the long bull that gets you.  As long as you're running with the pack, you're good", according to one person.  The whole continent of Africa has since the dawn of time it seems, been a place of Moral Darkness.  Today you find people in high places- have lost all sense of basic human decency.  There is no sense of moral restraint of civility in any of the Halls of Government.  You can pray “Beam me up, Scotty” but God’s track record of answering recent prayers of mine has been pretty poor lately.  If you’re God, and also an Egomaniac you may reason to yourself “I am going to Allow the world to get worse and worse and when it gets bad enough people will cry out to Me- - and I will intervene and I will be Magnified.”  The trouble is- - that won’t Work- - if God never comes through.  Everything in this whole long paragraph- - is based on giving “The Faith Community” the benefit of the Doubt, which they don’t really deserve.   There almost seems to be “intelligently targeted” Evils out there.  It isn’t merely happenstance -  but there is- - - if you will “Intelligent Design” to this Evil, as if it were being stage choreographed.  You have this rocket launch war in Israel between Israel and Hamas where Tel Aviv has good shelters that hold a lot of people in case of attack, with some sort of advanced warning.  Israel also had that security dome thing that enables Israel to shoot rockets right out of the sky and yesterday, one rocket was stopped that was headed right for a Nuclear plant, which would have had disasterous results.  Why can’t both sides come to the obvious conclusion that- - like your parents told you when you were young “Just think about the consequences of your action before you do it”.   How is it that Gaza never runs out of Rockets?  Who is supplying them?   Of course the weather around the nation never fails to lead in the headlines on ABC news every night- - and falling big trees are a major cause of death.  We still have tornadoes and 100 mph “micro bursts”, which we’ve had here on occasion.  I don’t think the average person watching the news, and I include myself, has nearly enough empathy of just what it would be like for all of the lives of those people who had suffered such misfortune.   There is far too much moral compromise in the world.  Chuck Smith one time had a chief assistant who was gay and Chuck said to him ‘You let me run Costa Mesa and you can have San Francisco”.   There is a scriptural parrellel in Acts with this principle.  However it is my conviction (if I’m moral qualified to judge) that NO gay person should EVER be put in a position of authority as a teacher in the Christian Church.  That’s just too much to ask the average laity to “swallow” so to speak.   Moral compromise doesn’t work.  Some things are just plain wrong.  The Bible tells us "Christ is a stumbling block we encounter because we are spiritually Blind".  But scripture also says in the Law - "You shall not put a stumbling block before the Blind".   We are told that "God doesn't cause evil, he merely Allows it".  But scripture says that to Allow evil when it's in your control, is as bad as to be a Part of it".  When you morally compromise- - - you lose the High Ground.   (Selah)   There are times when even attempting Comprromise is silly- - and you will learn the hard way that it doesn't work.  Israel tried to stand on its head to cut a deal with Aarafat and the PLO back at the beginning of the two thousands and the PLO thumbed its nose at the offer.  Jennifer on the soap opera was so desperate to “make peace” with Eve, she offered her everything she asked for- fifty percent of all of the profits from Jack’s book and any resulting Movie deals.  But Eve turned up her nose at this offer so bent was she in revenge.  Jennifer’s attorney told her “We can defeat this deal that was struck ten years ago or whatever”.    Jennifer if she were true to Jack’s memory would not have offered Eve so much as a red cent, because to do so would have dishonored Jack.  She’s fighting not only for her own honor but his.  I myself am guilty of “moral compromise” in something I put in a blog late last week.  But if I tell you what it was by way of confession, I’d only make it worse.   This raises the issue of whether some sins should never be confessed because the mere confession would do more damage.  I have been approached by teenage girls to buy something at the quickie mart they shouldn’t have- - and being in the tea totteling frame of mind I was in then I did not bend to moral pressure even if it had scored me points.  Not to be in favor of child molestation or anything but - these child molesting priests that were later promoted to the rank of Cardinel by Pope Benedict XVI or whoever- - to not single OUT these Cardinals and say "These are the ones" is to draw attention to the whole Church in a negative light- - and to morally Taint all who knew these Cardinals.  It's like that House that was demolished in response to that Castro guy's kidnapping and molesting those three young women.  So now you forever have this gaping hole in the neighborhood and passers by say "Oh- - there is the place where those molestations happened".  So is it just Possible- - - a proposition you might say - - that some Secrets are like radioactive waste and go keep going Back to them and fiddling with them- - is only to contaminate yourself further?

  Sometimes the Rubcon is crossed morally- - and it opens a Pandora’s box.  Sometimes Evil comes seemingly out of nowhere- - like some fifth dimensional transfer.  Some people such as Chuck Smith and Neil Savedra believe in the law of limited good meaning if one person gets a blessing, it means that someone else has to suffer. Are not people who reason like this no better than Guy Woodhouse in Rosemary’s Baby?   Indeed there may be a “cosmic dream weaver” who weaves the threads of Fate in and out- - - as the Fifth dimension gets manipulated.  And someone else’s blessing is our present affliction.  Under what “script” did Mom have to go back to the Hospital?   Not to quote any more songs but "I've seen this Movie before, and I don't like the unhappy ending".  (Selah)  Marsha “fell out of bed this morning’ and had to go back to the Hospital.  In our World- - this country has suffered much at the hands of the Tea Party- - but does someone elses’ Blessing in a parrellel Universe- - make me feel any better.  Does it make me feel any better to know that in some parrellel Universe the Democrats have the tea party on the run?   Lucifer said to God in heaven “I cannot attack Job because you have him Hedged all about?”   So one should never compromise4 morally on Anything lest they put brieches in their hedges, allowing the Enemy to enter.  (Selah)  It’s like Halderman’s remark to John Dean of “Once the toothpaste is out of the tube it’s impossible to get it back in”.  

 But I want to talk about Jesus on the mount of Olives.  “I was there with Jesus Christ in his moment of doubt and pain”.  I would have been like Jennifer’s attorney- - of “This is NOT the time to roll over and play dead.  Your fate is in your hands, and your actions could have consequences you did not anticipate.”   Then I would show Jesus photographs of the dead bones of Jews who had died in the Nazi death camps” and say ‘Just like with Bryan Stowe and Frank Mc Cord”   I would not want it on my conscious that I had ANYTHING to do with this.  Would you?”   Jesus might well say “Oh, that’s right out of Ezekiel 37”.  And I would say “Yes it is.  But there are also the Crusades and it’s Christians that started that series of so called Holy Wars and not the Muslems.  There is the struggle between Protestents and Catholics in Ireland.  There is all the rampant superstition and hysteria about the Jews and witchcraft and all that stuff in the Middle Ages, resulting in the deaths of a lot of Innocents.  Jesus, do you really want to go through with what you are planning to do?  Because even if you are successful you will have failed and set far Worse things in motion.  Take a look at the world now.  Commerce is doing good.  People never had more rights in Rome.  People have never been so well educated.  Science and communication has never been better.  Do you really want to put all this at risk by having a vast segment of the World plunged into some sort of Dark Ages?”.   And I might even say ‘I can tell by the astonished expression on your face my presence here at this time is a surprise to you.  Why is it my presence here is unanticipated”.  Jesus said to me “I am very big on what IS- - but You are among the things that are Not”.    I said to him “Ezekiel said that Judah would be dwelling securely in a world of unwalled villages- - when an attack comes from the North- - and threatens to wipe them out, and Nukes are involved and it will take the Jews seven months to bury the dead- - and radiation is involved and they sent out men to mark the bodies for pick up by others, who are wearing radiation outfits.”.     Jesus said to me “Well there you are.  Now you know the future”.   But I responded “But the Israelis of my own time were wiser and learned from this scripture, and have been armed to the teeth- - and are prepared for attacks- - and have inflicted pain on those who would come against them”.   Jesus said “Certainly you know that Chuck Smith of your own time said that if Man wants to reap his own vengeance- - God is happy to let him- - and mess it up for minself, whereas if they had left it in God’s hands- - then God would be magnified in the land, as that scripture says”.   But I would respond, “You right now have the power to prevent the destruction of this City in a generation- - right here and right now.  The question is whether you love Jerusalem and the Temple more- - or you are more in love with your own Ego.   Some people whore themselves out for money, like Kate Roberts working as a call girl for Stephano.  But they say “But I was starving then so that’s all right” and they justify things that are clearly compromises.   You yourself call yourself a Christian.  Indeed you are The Christ.  Yet where is all this Christian compassion for the victims of Rome in Israel.  How many innocent people who have suffered at the hand of Roman Imperalism, have you identified with and spoke up for.  And is not failure to speak up for or to render aid to such people- - a sign of moral compromise on your part.  So have you in essence “Whored yourself out’ to a Catholic Church which does not yet exist?”  

This is a rather jitterey Wednesday afternoon right after coffee break.  I had heard that Dr Messina was here and names were called.  I went out to the courtyard and got one cup from Dora kind of at the end of the line.  I stood and looked in Dr Messina’s empty office and a second or two later the light automatically went off, which means he has been gone for some time.  Let’s just review what a disasterous week it’s been since Sunday after dinner.  I almost lost my debit card- - and other events at the store.   The computer crashed an hour or so later.  There was that exchange of remarks I overheard in the hall going the other way I was virtually positive was about me, and it caused me to curse God for reasons I won’t go into.  Then Monday afternoon that connecter cord between the camera and the TV just disappeared.  And nobody knows anything.  Tuesday morning I had misplaced that souvenir ticket.  That’s a minor one.  We then have the fact my appetite has dropped as a byproduct of the tension of the past several days- - and possibly losing weight, when I need to gain more.   And I learned the Accronis backup program not only isn’t backing up any files, but it’s as though it’s not receiving any commands at all and I’m locked out of my own program, like the thing has been hacked.  Then last night it was the phone call from Judy saying that Mom was back in the hospital.  I talked about that.  Then there were the two shirts suddenly missing.  How many incidents to you need?  And all the while- - you know this place gets an F minus for dealing with thefts.   Then there is the soap opera where Samantha and Kate pull off something any sane person would have regarded as impossible, to steal the company right out from under Stephano and Elvis, making it look almost too easy.  Then there is this creepy father from Benjamin and Jordan’s past- - and personally from his attitude I’d shoot first and save myself the trouble of even having to deal with him.

 Bryan Stowe won at least a partial victory in his lawsuit against Frank Mc Cord and the LA Dodgers today.  The jury awarded Stowe 18 million dollars in damages, which according to Bill Carol and friend is a low-ball amount from what they were anticipating between thirty and forty million.  They said that if there were any damage award at all it would have to cover all past medical care costs and loss of gainful employment.  Brian Stowe is 45, or older than I thought.  Carol thought that perhaps the Dodgers were forty percent responsible- - but the award, due to the way the law works would be markedly higher than forty percent of the damages suffered.  It was pointed out that it’s silly for the defense to use alcohol consumption as a defense, because it was Dodger Stadium that sold all parties the excessive alcohol consumed.  They can go after Sanchez and that other guy in a separate suit.  They announced the verdict just after twelve noon but didn’t air it to the public till one thirty.  Every day the Stowe family sits in the courtyard and the jury has to walk past them every time they enter the court, but when exiting they are allowed to use s side door through the Judge’s chambers, but they are not allowed to enter that way.  All of the notes between the judge “The Court” and the jury were sealed, and the contents were not divulged to the media, which is ususual- but apparently all notes are withheld in the event of an appeal or something.  It takes only nine out of twelve jurors to vote for a conviction in a California civil case.  I had this dark suspicion myself the Dodgers would win outright- - for reasons almost psychic in nature.  Well you know the expression; “everybody walks in Los Angeles”.

Yesterday was the first day that marijuana went on sale in Washington state.  There is only one outlet in the entire city of Seattle, and very few outlets in the whole state.  This law is kind of a stinker.  You can’t share your pot with a friend at a party or anything because that would be guilty of the felony of “distributing”.  And you have to own the building in which the pot is smoked, and so there will be no pot smoking in hotel rooms by tourists.  Obviously this rule discriminates against minorities, something the Law can never seem to get away from.  And according to Thom Hartman there are four distinct medical chemicals in pot.  There is the THC that gets you high.  There is another compound that prevents seizures, there is another compound that alleviates pain, and still another compound for sleep.  Thom Hartman says he’s having increasing problems with insomnia as he gets older.   Last night may be one of the few nights that if you’d offered me booze, I would have imbibed it.   Hartman says they did a longitudinal study on aging hippies ( not that they even know what that word means) and it was revealed that marijuana actually protects you from various forms of dementia and alzheimers, which on its face is counter intuitive.   Hartman claims that the big commercial pharmisuticals have actually bribed officials to keep canibus illegal, because they’d be put out of business because canibus is so much more less harmful to the body than conventional pain killers.  Hartman himself claims after he and his wife began having kids they gave up marijuana consumption but he’d like to try it again- - but it seems that marijuana laws in Washington DC carry a really high penalty.

President Obama wanted Texas governor Rick Perry to wait for him in the reception line as he got off the plane, and be photographed shaking his hand and everything.  Governor Perry declined, probably because it was too much of a Chris Christie moment.  What Perry wanted the President to do was to go to the border and inspect the conditions down there and to see how bad it really was.  And presumably he and the Texas governor would have a long talk and perhaps work out the relation between them.  To my way of thinking Perry is right and Obama is wrong, because it’s always politically wise to be viewed as cooperating with various state Governors.  This is actually one of those instances where it makes sense to pray about it, because I wouldn’t know just how to handle a crisis like this- - refugee children flooding in.  If it were someone like Johnson, he could be compassionate and masterful at the same time, making for good media coverage.  But the President never learned Johnson’s knack at making just the right speech.  At times it seems the President is completely powerless to control events.  I know I sure am, especially this week.  But I guess that’s what distinguishes a great leader from just anybody.

The action has been swift the past week on Days of our Lives.  Samantha Brady is now the CEO of Di Mira enterprises, which makes absolutely no sense at all.  It would be very simple how I’d respond to all that feminist rhetoric she used.  In the first place Samantha is the ultimate “man” addict, and pretty slutty, and far too impulsive to run a giant corporation.  The very idea is laughable.  But in response to her accusing me of being an “ante-bellum disrespecter of women” I would just say “You can call me any name you want and if you think I care- - you’re crazy, but you’re not getting this Company.  Now at last she's revealed her true colors to E J, as he waits powerlessly in a jail call, while she lowers the boom on him, and he finally realizes the Magnitude of the problems he's facing.

If you've read Washington's Blog you know he was reviewing a lot of the same points about the government and the banking industry that Thom Hartman discusses on his show.  "The profits are privatized and the losses are socialized", meaning that the tax payers pick up the tab.  It's a risk free envirment for these big banks and Wall Street interests.   Stupidity carries no penalties at all.  Needless to say this is a dangerous and self destructive situation for all of us.  The "too big to fail" doctrine seems to be a literal truth.  Does the government control the financial institutions, or do the financial institutions control the government?   

Some have offered the fig leaf of hope that this Hobby Lobby case may be just the thing to galvanize women and those who love them to give Democrats the victory this November, and into political action such as "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more".   These people do seem to be getting stupider with each passing day.  John Boehner wants to bring a suit against the President.  Sarah Palin wants to impeach him outright.  It would seem to me a reasonable assumption that Impeachment of this President will be very much on the table should the Senate turn Republican this November.  Stephanie of course was not here last ween when the whole case broke.   It would seem that between their attitudes tword women and their attitude tword minorities, the Republicans wouldn't stand a chance this November.  But somehow Evil has a way of getting the last word- - at least as far as the last six years are concerned.  I fail to see how the Tea Party has brought the "good life" to anybody, except themselves. 

Is It True- - Those with Drug Convictions Need Long Sentences?

According to Bill Carol and friends, it’s just a myth that non violent drug offenders are better off not in prison but in some rehab program.  As such Jerry Brown has been compelled by the Federal government to make a horrible mistake in releasing prisoners early, because it’s a fact that prisoners let out early are more likely to contribute to the rising crime rate.  And some of these prisons are on their third strike.  But Bill Carol explains that it’s only the “last” crime they committed that counts.  These people you now see committing property crimes, were formerly violent muggers and rapists and murderers- - but feel the pressure of getting that third strike so have toned down their behavior.  Apparently the police are so disgusted by this revolving door prison policy that often they don’t even try to apprehend these felons. The cops know that early release doesn’t bring down the crime rate.   And there is a rise in the crime rate for property crimes- the type of crime these otherwise violent and dangerous felon would be committing.  So all this talk about how well drug rehab works in European countries is apparently based on complete ignorance, and not the eye witness of police officers.  If you take exception to this point of view, it’s my opinion that people of “that persuasion” needed to have their point of view made by this writer, unimpinged by a lot of wherefores, if’s and buts.

They now have a blood test for “dementia’ that is 85% accurate in predicting who will be getting dementia soon.  But would he who does not yet have this disease yet voluntarily take this blood test on their own?   The smallpox vaccinations we got when we were ten, apparently only last for five years.  I had the mistaken notion that this was the “final” vaccination in a series, and after you had this one you’d get immunity for life.  So in truth even with the vaccination of school kids, there are still vast segments of adults who would be completely unprotected in any epidemic.  When Bill Carol talked about this guy whose job it is to “clean up crime scenes” I pictured something out of “Days of our Lives” with Stephano’s group of goons cleaning up all evidence of an attempted murder by the river, scrubbing the place of any evidence for the police to find.  And of course Stephano’s goons, it’s assumed have the ability to work undisturbed by the prying eyes of suspicious onlookers, wondering just what the heck is going on.

Bill Handel took a more sympathetic position on race relations than I’ve ever seen him take.  Bill doesn’t take “idiot phone calls’ from people who want to send in the troops and the guns to the border to somehow move the flood of illegals off United States land by force.  And Bill seemed sympathetic to the Obama administration’s request for a few billion dollars to hire more people to “process” these mothers and children coming across.  Two of the three attempts to send busses of illegals into Mirietta- - have met with failure.  It seems planes of illegals come from the Rio Grand every seventy two hours to Chula Vista, where all of the processing is now going on.  But the Republicans want the Obama administration to deal expeditiously with these new would be immigrants- - but won’t give them the money to do it, which is kind of what happened with Libya and Bengazi, too.   It seems these smuggle for hire operations will lie and tell the prospective migrants to the United States most anything to get them to pay them money.  And so the slightest whisper of leniency from the Administration doesn’t escape the notice of these people.  But Bill achnoledged that the Obama Administration earnestly desires to NOT have them come to this country to begin with.  The Administration is telling the world “We do not want your refugees from Honduras and Guatemala and El Salvador.  Stay home!

Donald and Shelly Sterling are continuing to duel it out in court.  Yesterday they interrupted the hearing because somehow someone wanted it to be a Federal Government matter so they held a hearing at two thirty that ran longer than intended, for most of the afternoon.  It seems that husband Donald lost this case.  It had something to do with whether he was or wasn’t demented.  After being informed Mr. Sterling had lost the case, apparently his first words after this were, “Gee, I’m hungry.  Anybody have anything to eat?”   Or was that a joke?   My understanding about owning an NBA franchise basketball team wasn’t what I thought.  It was my contention that you could be the biggest jerk-off in your persona life west of the Mississippy but that one had inherent “property rights” to do financially with his team what he wishes.  But indeed it seems that an NBA team owner does not have clear title to this property, but there is this whole boatload of strings and conditions to owning the team.  Seeing how this is the case, the sane thing to me seems to be to let his wife sell the team to that Microsoft guy and be done with the whole affair, and hopefully you can turn a few hundred million in profit while you’re at it.  Of course if the guy’s not quite right in the head, you don’t know what he’ll do.

The Republicans have picked Cleveland to host the Republican convention in 2016.  I have heard they will be opening on July 18^th.  It’ll be nice to get off of this Labor day convention routine for once.  That gets really old with the conventions competing with the back to school classes rush, and hurricane season- - and College football and the NFL for newspaper space.

Marijuana goes on sale today in Washington State because of a provision they passed in November of 2012.  But from what I’m told, there will only be one shop open in all of Seattle and few marijuana outlets in the whole state.  Strangely they are claiming a low supply.   I saw scads of the weed being grown in a hot house- - you’d certainly think they’d be prepared.

As you know, Le Bran James is a free agent, and Pat Riley and the Miami Heat are drying to hold on to him.  But there are roomers afloat that Le Bran may be going back and signing with the Cleveland Cavileers once more.  That would make Bones happy.  I’m kind of thinking Miami’s best years are behind them, at least for the time being, so I say “Go back to Cleveland”.   I’m sure the fans would be more than happy to be forgiving.

This whole Brian Stowe jury deliberation thing seems to be a never ending soap opera, and for once more has happened in the soap opera this past week, than has happened in real life with this jury.  They seem to be having these endless conferences with the judge about this and that.  First they say they’re hopelessly deadlocked, which someone on Bill Carol said “It’s almost a sure sign that they really are stuck, because I’ve hardly seen a single case where they came out with a declaration like this- - and later reached a verdict”.  It won’t be today anyhow.

Israel is calling up 40,000 servicemen to fight in what may well be a lot longer than a six day war.  Israel appears more in earnest in getting back at Hamas than they have in a long time.  In previous adventures such as 1973 and 1967 Israel had the United States to lean on for additional weapons and fighter planes.  Of course it’s pointed out that there are Arabs in the Israeli legislature.  But the same “demographic problem” conservatives here at home face, is also faced by the Israelis.   Because it’s said that “unless something major is done about it’ the Arabs could potentially have a majority in Israeli government.  Jimmy Carter would remind us it’s a bit of a South Africa type situation there the goal is “to make sure the emerging majority never gains control”.   There is no doubt both sides have broken countless treaties.  Israel keeps encroaching with their settlements in Palistinian lands.  And Palistinians are indeed an “occupied people” who lack self determination.  Cosmically this rise in Israeli aggression is considered a bad thing throughout the Federation, and countless other cosmic entities.  I would say more about jinxes and karma and other matters but I don’t want to appear too whigged out, at least today.  Let's just say that cosmically "We're in deep doo doo, and we can't do a thing about it, really".   This is a rare admission.  The Federation has never liked Israel as a sovreign nation that it is, for reasons I can't go into right now, but let me just say this one thing "If you are facing an enemy that you can't defeat, and another enemy that you believe you can, you make friends with the second group, even if it makes you ill, as sort of- not to put too fine a point on it- - a hedge against demonic activity.  Yes, you heard me say that.

From a strictly stratigic point of view- - if God is not speaking now- is it not only logical that Satan would arise to fill the vacuum?

This final paragraph was the first to be written today, but appears now at the end.  I'd like to include a paragraph I wrote 24 hours ago but I think this is enough ranting for today.  This is Tuesday July 8, 2014 and I would like to start off illustrating hard determinism.  Those with power can never lose it on their own, and those without power can never get it on their own.  People like James Dobson and Pat Robertson and other Christian evangelists endorse this theory without knowing it.  For example in response to the scripture that says “All things are possible with God” they will amend that to say that “God can’t do the intrinsicly impossible”.  They don’t mean “logically impossible”, which I would agree with.  With God EVERY contingency OTHER than the one that has been Predestined- - IS “intrinsically impossible”.  Not one less Jew would die in the Nazi death camps,  the Civil War would not contain one less bit of gore and guts and sheer pain for the wounded - - Mao’s Cultural Revolution or the Killings of Po Pot would not be one bit less ruthless- - and ANY lessening of the evil or augmentation of the good is in fact, when push comes to shove “Intrinsically impossible” to these people, if you press them hard on the matter.   Yesterday I constructed a prayer God basically could not lose.  I offered to God that I would do something fantastic and difficult- - if he answered a very small prayer.  Some of you are automatically saying now by way of reflex “Oh, you’re blaming God if things don’t go your way”.   There are certain constructs- - where the bar is so low- - and yet God still fails the test, and even if the bar were lying on the ground, God would trip over it.  Passing the test would not prove that God existed.  I said I would “stipulate” that he existed.  But failure of certain tests- - with a rigged crap table in God’s favor to begin with- - will most certainly imply that he does NOT exist.   In my case- - the more explicit the prayer- - and often some of the simplest if God actually exists- - to answer- - in my case, the more certain I can be that God will fail the test.  In fact there is a thousand percent more evidence that the wheel on the Wheel of Fortune game is rigged- than God exists.  For instance you know that if a contestant gets BOTH halves of a car- - you can almost set your watch by the fact that in the next couple of rolls, the wheel is going to land on a Bankrupt.  It never fails, and if you’ve watched, you know.

Another Side Of Islam

The tea party IS a religion.  This makes religion relevent when it otherwise would not be.   In my arm chair psychologist role, I would say "People are instinctively good and moral people, therefore when they are tempted to engage in shall we say "unedifying behavior" they need some outside excuse to do it, so they say "My God told me to do it".   What about statements like Anne Coulter made last week about US interest in soccer and the World Cup.  (this week they're down to the Final Four of Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and the Netherlands, I believe)  She said "Soccer is not an American game because it isn't violent enough and liberal soccer Moms like it for their kids, and nobody whose great grandfather was born here likes soccer".   This is not only a broad swipe at immigrants but may be an allusion to the "grandfather clause' employed in denying Blacks the vote in the South.   We have a lot of "Anal-ists' on FOX news like Sean Hannity.   So is Dick Chaney just nothing but a talking anal syst?   According to Sean Hannity- - nobody needs a doctor's prescription to buy birth control.   And according to Sean- therefore - - poor women would not benefit from birth control.  We also learn from these people apparently- - it isn't paid for by the Affordable Care act- - but it's though a member of Hobby Lobby wrote you out a personal check out of his own pocket for the birth control pills.  And we learn that "liberals don't understand anything about investments - so have no right to criticize Hobby Lobby for investing in abortion companies".   Out of their own mouths.  And we learn that the Tea Party gets very cantankerous in protesting their Church's disinvestment in companies that supported Atartite.   So now "abortion companies' are just business- - but withdrawing from bigoted companies- - - this is some kind of "socialist political act" or some other attrocity comitted by the bishop of their Church, or whatever.   These people are a regular bubbling caldrin of hate.  We also learn that they Imported- - those protesters to Marietta hot springs last week.  It wasn't just locals.  So when they say "Go back where you came from" - - maybe they first better look in the mirror.
   
Today July 7, 2014 is the first day of the running of the bulls in Spain.   A lifeguard named Ben (?) is the first Newport Beach ever to drown and he lost his life because the surf in Newport Beach had been running unusually high with undertows and such, and he made it out to rescue a guy but then they were both hit by a ten foot wave.  The victim survived and made it to shore just fine, but the lifeguard died.  My psychic antenna suggests this guy was demonically targeted.  Of course Mark Bove always talked about the god Baal as the “beach god” of sun, surf, and sex.  Actually Baal is the weather god, and one of the stars of the Pliades, the sailors sign of storms.  Baal is the weather god, and can be useful if you’re praying for rain.  The Arabs had a belief that God himself was so remote he couldn’t be approached, but deligated his duties to lesser deities.  There was a 7.1 earthquake in southern Mexico, but those people are used to those.  I got up at six o clock and had a crazy dream I’ll get to in a minute last night.  Last evening has a misbegotten feel to it.  I made an accommodation to the flesh by even using the debit card yesterday- - and I never saw the receipt.  The bill should have been six dollars even, but - - I was overcharged by the same guy a dollar a few weeks ago- - and hypothetically he could have charged me anything.  Janet says the French toast here doesn’t agree with her.   There was a Reprisal bombing against Hammas in the Gaza area.  I’ve thought about it and the way Dr Levy portrays Hammas to me just doesn’t make sense, not to mention going against Federation teaching.   Dr Levy would have us to believe that Hammas was given peace in the Gaza region in 2005 but as I hear it- the Gaza region after this “peace agreement” was harassed with planes overhead- - and bombed so intensively by Israel it’s amazing there is anybody left in Gaza.  Dr Levy of course says “Well Israel should probably bomb Gaza back to the stone age, but their too Christian to do that”.   Of course seven Hammas were killed in response to the deaths of those three Isriali teenagers who were killed inHammas was blamed, though I don’t recall Hammas ever taking credit for it.   Now they are talking about “tiny bright spots” and James had a movie of some UFO’s he showed he he says was taken here and “That night there were all the lights in the sky” and there was this rather strange sound I can’t place – in this movie- - and I asked James about it and he said “I guess I never noticed it before” or something.   I just remember during that period several months back- - there would be a light off to the west that kept moving around and I’d say “That can’t be Venus because Venus is already below the horizon this time of year”.   So you got me.

I watched that Book TV thing on Islam and left the computer on over dinner for the very purpose of listening to more of it after dinner.  He talked about how it was the Islamic people who invented the term “People of the Book” and also had to invent a word for “church” because- - tribe and monarch wouldn’t fit.  He spoke of heterodox Christians fleeing Constanople to the Mideast after the Council of Nicia.   But also “people of the book” or monotheists include Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians.  He even mentioned the Bhagdevadgita.   The criteria was monotheism.   Is it OK if Krishna is a god?  We learned from a film in Dr Levy's class a couple of years ago (which Dr Levy seemed completely bored with) that in the centuries following the rise of Islam, that there was a lot of cross polinization between Islam and Hinduism.  Also the writer pointed out that Islam was a movement in favor of the economically dispossed and against the rich.  People forget this.  Also more people according to the writer Wanted to join Islam, that were discouraged, because they'd have to give up their privelege.  The writer says it is a wastern myth that Islam wants to either kill everybody in the world or convert them.  On the contrary, he lays such ideas at the feet of Constantine saying 'Hetrodox Christians had three choices - either convert to Orthodoxy- - or be killed- - or flee to a far country, and a lot of them did indeed flee to far away places.   Keep in mind there were many prophets recognized by Islam.  Noah was a prophet,  Abraham was a prophet, and Jesus was a prophet.  A prophet is seen as a religion reformer and not a religious founder.  Also Christians like their prophets to fail just because Jesus failed in his earthly mission.  We want a martyr- not a winner.  We want a refurbished relic- - not a present leader.  It’s strange.   Because of this naturally the Koran does a tip of the hat to Judaism and Christianity in its scripture.

This writer went on to discuss how he finds ‘Jesus of Nazareth” a much more worthy figure to follow as an example than the Jesus Christ of Faith.  This guy came from war torn Iran in 1979 and wanted to “blend in’ when he came to this country.   He reminded us that in ancient times Jehovah was a god among gods.  So when they fought the Canaanites it was Jehovah in battle with Baal.  The god of crops, the weather god.  And with Babylon it was Jehovah in battle with Merdoch.   The Bull god.  (Taurus, the bull)  And every military battle was seen as a proxy battle between the gods in heaven.   This of course is a grandiose viewpoint and makes you wonder “Well, why don’t the gods just fight it out among themselves and leave us humans out of it?”  Nobody asks logical questions like this.  And it’s a myth of westerners that Islam is anti democratic.  Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world and it is democratic.  Even Pakistan is democratic, as strange as that seems.  Turkey is a democracy.   Malaysia is a democracy, according to this writer.  I sure didn’t know that.  Egypt of course is questionable.  But Judy always talks about how the Bible calls Ismael a “wild ass-man”, when the Arabs are not even descended from Ismael but Dedan, and Sheba- - is not Ethiopia but Yemen.   I mention this because Ezekiel in chapter 39 expressly states that Sheba and Dedan were "among the good guys" who would be invaded by "Rosh"  (Russie?) prince of Misheck (Moscow) and there is even an allusion to nuclear weapons being employed.  The text states that "An idea will come into ]Putin's] head - - .  To me it's just silly to come against an entire religion such as Islam that spreads from Moracco to Indonesia.  Even President Bush said "You are never going to win - IT".   The writer echoed my thoughts of last week saying "When you come down to it- this seems to be kind of an eternal conflict- - with no side having a monopoly on pure "goodness".  And certainly people of the Islamic faith living in America are not "into" terrorism.  But Judy has to believe what she believes because- - “That hate feels just so good” or something.  Judy is a person who seems to have a deep seated need to scape goat and to hate- - and of course we also know she’s a control freak.   She IS what she most claims to hate.  So we need to really educate ourselves about Islam and stop wallowing in the darkness of ignorance.

Meet the Press talked a lot about immigration and this border crisis with the refugee mothers and young children.  This Idaho conservative said- almost by indictment “This administration guy wants to do right by these children” as if THAT would be a horrible sin.  Actually I’ve heard the Obama administration say a number of times they want to “speed up the turn around process” by which the kids are processed and turned back.  But the Republicans say ‘Anything that takes longer than three days is too long”.   The administration guy never said what the goal was for the administration- - -finding families for these children- - or just sending back to the terrors in Central America they fled at great risk to themselves.  You know, I thought this was America, the statue of Liberty in all of that, "Give me your poor, your tired, huddled masses yearning to be free".   Putin was reported as remarking to someone of "President Obama SAYS he'll do all sorts of stuff but we know there is a vast different between what he Says and what he Does.  So Obama may Say that "I want to liberalize immigration regulations- ease up a little.  But his record is as such a hard ass that he has lost a lot of former support from the Latino community on this issue, who say now that the President can't be counted upon.  But the Republican said “It’s a myth that there is any problem at all in Honduras” but he also said by way of contradicting that “Of course it’s projected that the number may grow to 150,000 and it’s all the administration’s fault for encouraging them.   These FOX people just pull figures like that out of their ass, when they and I know that the figure has probably already peaked and will begin dropping.   But once again the administration is just acting on a 2008 law signed by George Bush that said that children who fled terror in their homeland, are entitles to special hearings.

It was Ringo’s birthday- - or rather tomorrow is.  It’s also Nick’s birthday tomorrow.  Ringo will be in concert in a couple of weeks.  “When the Beatles hit America” was the next to the last song.  (This track has a similar "geshtaldt" to "Exestential Blues", - - and “La-dee-dah” was the final song.  But they didn’t play that many Ringo songs, actually.  They played ‘You’re Sixteen” and “The No No Song” and “Honey Don’t” and “I’m the Greatest” and that’s about it.  They played a number of Americana songs- - which cosmically are dominated by “Sirius 0’s”.   Paul played “Twenty Flight Rock” by Eddie Cochrin, and related the story about how Ivan Vaughn introduced him to John.    They played a remake of “In Spite of all the Heartache”.    They played other cosmic Sirius 0 artists such as Eddie Cochrin, Johnny Burnette, Chuck Berry, the Coasters, Carl Purkins, and Gene Vincent.   And "All Shook Up" was the first Elvis Presley number one song in England in June of 1957 a few months after it peaked here.  But you people don’t know what I am talking about.   I went out to the courtyard but missed the coffee.  Joe’s radio was playing “Back Of, Boogaloo”  We had pizza for lunch with tomato soup, and a green salad.  We had mixed melon for desert.
