Cosmic Consciousness
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.63
It's been a long time coming and for that I have no apologies. I have been dealing with the sadness and the pain of love given, love received and love lost. I have been to the top of the mountain top and seen the rubble of what was once a proud kingdom of the proof of the almighty's omnipotence. All of that could be said for the once proud and powerful Notre Dame football storied past. I have been lost and found. I have been down and out. I have said goodbye to a loved one and found the strength and the beauty in the acceptance of patience and the resilience of the splendor of new starts and new relationships. The simplicity of possibilties of the morning busride and the evening concert with someone who was once your teacher. The summer has come to an end and the falling of leaves and the sounds of football and apples rolling on the lawns and leaves being shuffled through by children on their way to school and giggling and laughing and deciding which Halloween costumes to wear can be heard from block to block and household to household. I am walking a line down which I have no idea where it will end. I am like you and that we have no answers and only questions. We only start and end and finish and begin. I feel like a politician without a microphone. A politician without the money to get his face on the nightly news. Because if you can't raise a half a billion dollars, you can't get your point across. You cannot be a man of the people, by the people and for the people. You're just another puppet for the multinationals and their ever increasing thirst for natural resources and the wars that fund them. Case in point people, our puppet will be speaking at the UN on Tuesday and will be ratcheting up the case for the ever increasing alarmist bell ringing endorsement of military force against Iran. We have to realize that we are living in a world gone mad. We are in "Network" without Peter Finch. I will play that part of screaming "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!" We live in a world where evangelicals want to bring about the prophecies of the book of Revelations. They want a whore of Babylon and we just may get Hillary instead. They want to bring about Armageddon in the name of Freedom for all. Bombs in the guise of free choices. I have no qualms with any of this. I just want people to realize what is happening and why. We have no control over any of this. Or so were told. We are told that this is the way it is and that this is the way it has to be. But what about hope? What about standing up to ignorance and tyranny? Because if we don't take a stand and say enough is enough, we're all going to get the chip. They already are doing it to your pets. Your children are next. And you may say I'm crazy and that may be true, but I'd rather be crazy than stupid and paranoia isn't paranoia when it's true.
Things are changing. People are changing. Times are changing. The quickening is happening and we can't get anywhere, anything or anyone fast enough. December 22nd, 2012 is just around the corner. Be prepared. The moon is waning.
Make your little one a shining star! Shine on!

And in the green corner......
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man........vol.62
Like a lightweight fighter, this is going to be all jabs.

Here are some original thoughts:
The revolution will not be televised, because Rupert Murdoch already owns the channel. It has to start in the small towns and on the internet and spread indiscriminately like cancer. The truth must live on despite the stem cell destruction of minds by ignorance and indifference.
The morning she left, the atmosphere took the shape of my emotions. There was a downpour into the downtown of my soul covered in pavement. I was without an umbrella for the first time in nine months, for I was without her.
Watching a Blunt on Austin City alone on a Saturday night in early June, thinking about the last night before Halloween and how we found our seats in the dark only to be told that we've chosen the wrong ones, we had been corrected, and the year has gone away, like you, the setting sun.
But lately, I have been asking myself, how do I cut loose something that I may have never held?
Now for something completely different.......
Hamas is grabbing control of Palestine. An extreme radical Islamic state is rising up against Israel with what is shaping up to be a very hot summer.
The U.S. says that Iran is arming the Taliban. Is Cheney behind that one? By the way, we once armed the Taliban, so they could fight the Soviets, should we then attack ourselves?
Where the hell has North Korea been?
Changing the subject again........
Watching the wandering eyes of men as beautiful women pass them by on Nicollet avenue is the simple truth of summer and like watching little boys not getting what they want during Christmas.
The beauty of the flow of prose from the pen of Charles Frazier in his 2nd novel "Thirteen Moons" is like being able to watch the rising and setting of the sun being performed in a single sentence.
And again.......
The immigration scare tactic seems a lot like the Nazi's Xenophobia exterminating any other than the Aryan race. None of the 9/11 hi-jackers were from México, they were legal citizens from Saudi Arabia.

Take this sinking boat and turn it home, we've still got time.....
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man.......vol.61
Ladies and gentlemen, there will be absolutely no outrage from me this edition. That I can guarantee without a doubt. This volume will be full of sap and heartstring pulling romanticism. So if you are already threatened, turn away.
I have heard whisperings about the film that I will be praising for the past couple of weeks and had read a small snippet in the paper and that peaked my interest, and so, last weekend I went on line to watch the trailer and with just that, I knew that this was going to be something very special. So, yesterday, before even seeing the film or hearing a full song from the film, I went to my favorite bookstore, Barnes and Noble at Har Mar off of Snelling Avenue and doing my part as a fighter against the terrorists and not letting them win, made a consumer choice and purchased the soundtrack to a film I hadn't even seen yet, let alone listened too. And so, there I was sitting in my drifting spoiler 2005 Blue "M&M" Dodge Neon being tempted by being stuck in traffic and having the cd sitting there on the passenger seat next to me urging me to take a listen, but yet I resisted. I wanted to make the first listen special. So, yesterday, on a late Saturday afternoon while making my way through the congestion that is the Lyndale/Hennepin avenue exit off of 94east, and trying to make it to the Lagoon theater for the 4:55 showing of this film that I urge all of you to see and listen too and of which will hopefully gain more momentum as the summer procedes and more word of mouth spreads like lymes disease in a Minnesota campground, I was comforted by the fact that life does go on, be it alone or with someone. Boys and girls, I saw a movie that captured my heart and soul with music and cinematography so simple and so captivating and beautiful that I can only say it was breathtaking.
The film is Once.
The film's music, the simplicity to the style and the truth and mirror to my own romantic escapades and experiences seemed to be shared with all of the world to see. It is a simple story of boy meets girl and boy loses girl and that is fine, for there is always another girl and always another boy. But the pain is sometimes too hard to bear, but the pain does and will go away. For there are no easy, nicely wrapped up and folded endings in real life, for life is subjective depending on the point of view and it is always open ended and never ending. The film has no special effects, there is no violence and there is no sex. So, why would anyone want to watch it? Because it makes you want to, upon leaving the theater, wishing you had purchased the soundtrack and that you want to put the cd in and turn it up loud and the top down and drive as fast as you can to the one you love with tears in your eyes and a smile on your face. Ladies and gentlemen, love knows no bounds.
I know some of you will be outraged that you read this at all, but I hope not.
May the all encompassing whatever it is bless you and your loved ones for all eternity.

It's getting hot out there.....
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.60
The Battle for 2008 Presidential Election is heating up folks, can you believe it? We still have some 16 months to go. You have to have alot of cash in order to get your point across don't you. Doesn't sound like "all men are created equal" does it? Then again, the name of the game in our Democracy is money. Without it, you are just another soundbite on the way to the big house. Poor Paris. Poor poor Paris.

Now onto the Republicans, where McCain looks like an angry old man who yells at you to get off his lawn when you were a kid. And he wants to push the button on the big one? No chance in hell old man. Their main contention is Immigration and the push for a national ID card. I'll do them one better. Why not just chip the whole population? Because that's what they're asking for and just not saying it. They have to tip toe to the Fascist Totalitarianism people, or else the mindless American public might just wake up to the truth. Shhhhh, their sleeping. But, wake up!!! Remember Sept 11th, Sept 11th, Sept 11th, Sept 11th. Yeah, thanks for reminding us about that one. I almost forgot. Nice work Giuliani. I must say, Mitt Romney is going to be hard to beat and would make a handsome looking Mormon President. But wait, who's that waiting in the wings, Fred Thompson. The Ronald Reagan of our times as the media is calling him. He even sounds Presidential. Look out world. But my choice would be Ron Paul of Texas. Imagine, a Republican talking about the need to remove the option of Pre-emptive war from the table and mentioning that's not what Christianity is about. Way to go! It's not like you stand a chance in hell, but I like ya.

"Weep before God.....laugh before people." Yiddish Proverb
"Love yourself and be awake- Today, tomorrow, always.
First establish yourself in the way, then teach others, and so defeat sorrow.
To straighten the crooked you must first do a hard thing, straighten yourself.

Greetings and Salutations my friends, my enemies and my skeptics. Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I have been away for some time and now I am back, reborn, "like a phoenix rising from Arizona." I have recently read a book that I highly recommend to all. For, if it is true, we have little time left. It is called 2012: The Return of Quetzacoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck. The book outlines our continuing journey toward a possible end date of all civilization or that of a possible breathrough of human thought concerning the ancient Mayan calendar and the importance of the date, December 21st, 2012. An astrological event that occurs once every 26,000 years.
The beginning of all that ends. It is the awareness of a mass consciousness, reawakening and that maybe the governments of the world have known about it and have been manipulating us because of it. It deals with the possibility that maybe the powers that be, want us all to remain asleep. They want us to remain unaware of our true potential. They want us to disregard the sychronicities of our lives. They want us to think that there is nothing special about coincidence or deja-vu. They want us to trust our senses and not our instincts. That want us to remain trapped in the proverbial mind melt of thought that starts with the basis that we are not special, we are only cogs in the machine. They want us to believe that there is nothing that can be done to stop it, so why fight it?

That want us to remain trapped in the proverbial mind melt of thought that starts with the basis that we are not special, we are only cogs in the machine. They want us to believe that there is nothing that can be done to stop it, so why fight it?
But, what if, every man, woman and child could use more than the 10% of their brains' that they are currently using? What if we could become what we thought? Or are we already doing that and have been doing that for centuries and that it has only recently gotten much much noticeably worse because of it and we are just blind to that fact? If our thoughts produce our surroundings, then maybe that is why we are surrounded by violence, poverty, War, ignorance, famine, inequality, and it is simply just the end result of what we are constantly exposed to in our media, and that which influences our thoughts and dreams thus plays itself out on the stage of what we are told is reality, and on and on and on it goes? Why did we have to see it on that fateful day, that Tuesday morning in September, the second plane hitting the second twin tower and then to watch them fall, over and over again, and day after day after day for months and months and still to be reminded of it over and over again by our President as the reason we are where we are because of it. But what if it was all a lie? What then?
Or it could quite possibly be, that the whole Earth is readying itself, both physically through it's global warming and environmental collapse and mentally through our rapid advancements in technology for the return of the Christ figure, the next NEO, or the Mayan Quetzacoatl, but that it is not a person or a savior we are waiting for at all, but a new process of human thought and evolutionary leap in biogenetics? Because the only way to start something new is to abolish that which was old. Destruction breeds creation. Mother nature is just warning us ahead of time.
Could the quickening of time be leading everyone to experience a major shift in consciousness where there is no longer a seperation between space and time? Time is not only linear. Time is the cage that traps us. As quantum physics states, we are no longer outside the experiment. We are participants in our own outcomes. We are not seperate from what we observe. We therefore have the power to change our surroundings. People, if you can think it, it can happen. Where else could that thought have come from, if it isn't already possible?
Hey, but that's only as far out there as weapons of mass destruction were in Iraq, or looking to our politicians and sports athletes for role models, or believing what the major media tells you, because look where we are on that belief. Our politicians tell us that they have no money for education or to feed the poor and the hungry, but what's another $120 billion for the military, just between friends. The Democrats were going to stand up and fight remember. It doesn't matter people. There is no difference between the right and the left, they have now only become the center. But we live in the land of the free, the home of the brave, where every 4 years you get a choice between tweedle dee and tweedle dum. They tell you that there is a difference, but I don't see one.
But people, don't trust me, I'm the crazy one.
Have a happy memorial day and enjoy your time away from the cage.

The truth is stranger than fiction
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man.......vol.57
On 4/16 the shooter at Virginia Tech opened fire at 7:15am est. 7+1+5= 13. Always an unlucky number. He kills 11 people. Two hours later he kills 22 including himself, for a total of 33. What the hell was he doing for those two hours? Where were the cops and the swat teams. Anyway. 11+22= 33. Those are just the facts. Make of them what you will.

"Please allow me to introduce myself"
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man.......vol.56
"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long long time, stole many a man's, soul and faith." The Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil"
Ladies and gentlemen. The one being or spirit or our own manifestation that some of us would like to think doesn't exist is back. He has been loosened once again from his chain in the sulphur smelling bottomless pit of hell to come up for air. Folks, Satan is alive and well and apparently has been spending some time getting to know a young man in the small college town of Blacksburg, Virginia. Lucifer has whispered in the ear of a man in desperate need of attention.
Here is a small list that is all true. Waco, Oklahoma City, Columbine, and now, Blacksburg. What is it with the week of April 19th, that has made it a week of mass murder. Could it be that it goes all the way back to the celebration of an occult holiday of human sacrifice to the Pagan symbol Baphomet? Could the killer of all of those students at Virginia Tech be just another lonely gunman in search of celebrity and fame, maybe he'll be holding a copy of Catcher in the Rye?
33 dead, including the shooter. 33. 11, 22, 33. 4/16. 4+1+6= 11. 9/11. 9+1+1=11. The Madrid Train bombings took place 911 days after 9/11. Kennedy's assasination, 11/22. Just another random number by coincidence or something deeper, something darker. You know I love my tangents.
This all took place on just another day when the President is having yet another 15 minute speech about the never ending war on terror and the necessary funding for our Defense Department, and how if we don't take care of them in Iraq, the terrorists, the terrorists will swim across the Atlantic and be at our doorsteps by morning. It all makes this conspiracy theorist a little inquisitive. Or nuts, depending on your point of view. Maybe this former student of VTech was another in the long list of MK Ultra patients from the CIA's secret laboratories to make some bizarre choices and do some very horrible things without his control, or maybe he was just depressed, rejected and alone and felt that the only way to reach out to anybody these days was by some grandiose performance of horrible violence and selfishness. It works for our foreign policy, why not for individuals?
"Strike first, Strike hard, no mercy sir!" Cobra Kai Dojo
With that being said, my heart does go out to the families who have lost loved ones to this very horrendous act, by I hope no more than a very sick individual and not something deeper, darker and more sinister. But on a final note and a little left of normal, I am very sad to say and in a sick sort of way, glad that this will get Anna Nicole and Don Imus off of the airwaves. If only for a little while.
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist." Verbal Kindt
Oh, before I leave you to your cubes, your desks, your cars and your children, just one more side note, because it didn't get a lot of coverage in our "liberal" cowardice media. The first man convicted by the Military Tribunal in Guantanamo Bay happened on March 30th. He was held in Guantanamo for 5 years and 4 months. He was sentenced to 9 months in prison. Does that make any sense whatsoever? Of course not. It's our Government.
"The basic purpose of human existence is acquisition of knowledge of GOD; there is no relationship more true than this spiritual affiliation. All other types of relationships are but derivative and dependent upon that spiritual connection, and in themselves, nothing to boast of." Lahiji: "Mafatih"

Senior Audit Officer
Natwest Bank Group
UK.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Charles Greene Senior Audit Officer of Natwest Bank Group UK.
Natwest Bank London. I am writing following an opportunity in my office
that will be of immense benefit to both of us.In my department we
discovered an abandoned sum of£20.5million British Pounds Sterling (Twenty
million five hundred thousand British Pounds) in an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers Late Mr.Morris Thompson an American who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight
261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only
daughter.
You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because we cannot
release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to
the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided to
make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into
Government treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after eight years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your country
for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once
this money gets into your account.Please be honest to me and trust is our
watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free.As soon as you receive
this mail you should contact me by return mail.Please note that all
necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has
been finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do receive your
response.
Please if you are interested in this project contact me for further
directives.
Best regards
Mr.Charles Greene

"Buying what their selling ya" Rage Against the Machine
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man.....vol.55
"The beginning of all participation in good things is hope." Philo "Abraham"
Over 655,000 Iraqi lives have been lost in the Iraq war. Over 3,100 American lives have been lost. Do you think we should leave? Is it doing any good that we are still there?
Just some questions.
Well, well, well. The Ron Jeremy of terrorists, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, or KSM as everyone is calling him, because it is so much easier than that long name of his and who knows if I even spelled it right, has admitted that he was the mastermind of 9/11, "from A to Z". What a relief that is off of my mind. He was captured and taken into to custody in Pakistan on March 1st 2003 by the US. Then he was locked away in Guantanamo Bay for the last 4 years, without making a single public statement. Then, lo and behold, on March 15th, 2007 a statement is released from our military tribunal down there that KSM admits to 9/11 and the 93' World Trade Center bombing, the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl, and plotting assasination attempts on everyone from former President's Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton.
I ask you these simple questions. Why wait 4 years to admit to something that they are supposed to take pride in? Isn't in Al-Qaida's playbook to brag about their deeds? Didn't we have a videotape already of Osama confessing to 9/11? A tape that was released some 3 months after 9/11. Wasn't Osama supposed to be the mastermind? Why did it take so long for KSM to admit to something that he and his fellow Jihadist's would be so proud of doing to us, the infidels?
As you all may already know, I for one am not buying what the major media is so fervently lapping up. Could it be, that after 4 years of water-boarding, KSM just cracked to have the torture stopped and admit to something that he didn't even do?
And please, where is the footage of the plane hitting the Pentagon on 9/11? We all saw the towers fall, over and over and over again. They couldn't find one of the black boxes of the planes that hit the towers. They all evaporated in the jet fuel supposedly. But they did find one of the 19 hijackers passport, paper passport that didn't burn up in the jet fuel, 7 blocks away from Ground Zero. How convenient. Yes, I know that they released 4 still frames of footage of something hitting the Penatagon, but you cannot tell what it was. You and I know that they have cameras all over the Pentagon. It isn't like some 7/11 where they only have two cameras and the video quality would be grainy and indistinguishable. This is the Pentagon. This is our center of Military Defense. Where 400 billion dollars a year goes from our hard earned tax paying dollars. They have to have footage of something hitting the Pentagon. By simply releasing the footage of the plane hitting the Pentagon, it would only further the US Govt's official story, wouldn't it? Or maybe because a plane didn't hit the Pentagon?
I know, I know, then where did all those people on those planes go? Could it be that they were CIA operatives or innocent civilians expendable for the greater cause of the powers that be? I mean, it was only 3,000 people on 9/11. Not like it was 655,000. I however, in no way demean the loss of human life. Everyone that died on that day I have nothing but sorrow and remorse for, but, if it was all a staged and planned event for the Illuminati or the Bilderbergers or the New World Order powers to be, to start a never ending war on terror, that would erode our civil rights and move ever closer to a Police State, and that would give them the right and the shadows to operate behind to enforce a slow moving waltz toward a One World Government under the guise of the united War on Terror, I bet that they would find that the ends justify the means. Don't you think? Because, after all, do you think the powers that be actually care about national security and a nation's soveriegnty? Blood, money and control is all they care about. But then again, that's just one outraged educated man's opinion. The all-seeing eye is watching.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Use your Illusion
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man.....vol.53
"People sometimes justify their obsession with cleanliness on religious grounds; but true religion is not concerned with outward purity." Razi: Kitab al-Muluki
Greetings to you all on this late afternoon, the day after chocolates and jewelry and possibly too much wine and not enough roses. I am blessed with too much of everything. That is my entitlement as an American, and for that I am hypocritical and grateful at the same time, despite my lack of employment. Greetings. Don't worry about me. It is what it is. I believe GOD said that to Moses. Or maybe he should have.
I am writing today not with news of the present nor of lectures on the past, but with my views on the current state of life in the affluent and much deserved but maybe not well used world of mainstream culture in the great United States of America. It is obvious to me that we as Americans and general consumers of the newest and the latest and the biggest and the brightest have built a need to find the magical and the fantastic within a world that has grown increasingly dull and damaging to the creative spirit. Why do you think Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and Star Wars appeal to both children and adults? Because, we all want to escape the life were living. Drugs, alcohol, sex, technology. Take your pick. We all want to become instant lottery winners. Sloths to the dollar. Give us something for nothing, and "our chicks for free." Thus making us more and more, complacently uninspiring.
There is no great project. There is no great movement. We are all just trying to survive and make it to the end of the work week so we can collect our paychecks and pay our minimum balance and start it over again Monday morning.
If terrorists or whoever the boogeymen that our government wants us to be afraid of, were to dismantle our electricity for more than a week, there would be utter chaos. No one needs a nuclear device. Just pull the plug. We as a society that once appreciated nature and everything that it has to offer, have gotten too far away from the garden of which we came from. Eden people. Eden. Are you still with me? Instead, we are spreading ourselves and our children too thin. We are trying to be something that we are not. We are pushing them to excel at the age of 2!!! And if they or ourselves act out, we just sedate them or ourselves with pills. There must be something wrong with them if they don't seem blindly happy. We will have become, parents and children in comas. Our hospitals are the houses in the suburbs.
The perfect consumer is one without an intelligent opinion. Just a job and a pulse and no conscience.
We are on a fast forward highly caffeinated drive a little faster turn it up a little louder life-track. In a hurry to go nowhere. Remember, it all may come to a crashing halt on December 22nd, 2012. The Mayans, remember The Mayans. Or, I may just be too cynical and too wacked out, I am lefthanded and have red hair, for GOD's sake, I am dying breed for that alone, however, I do not apologize. Like the bumper sticker says, if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention. So, until I find another consumer of my time at 8 hours a day 5days a week that which allows me to continue pressing on in my personal and spiritual development, and getting back into to school where one day I can be paid for my lectures, I will keep on keeping on. As long as the bills are paid. Someone famous once said that. So with that being said, once again, despite my outrage, I still remain hopeful that we will all wake up in time. Much love, peace and happiness. Seriously.
"He who can work in the realm of the real and live in that of the ideal, has attained the highest." Ludwig Boerne

"Don't Believe the Hype" Chuck D.
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.52
"The time is always right, to do what is right." Martin Luther King Jr.
Ladies and gentlemen. We are in the stages of what may be called fantasy to some and virtual reality to others. The line between real and perception is just a matter of opinion.
Yet another week has gone by and the currents seem to be rushing onward and carrying us all out to the sea of uncertainty. We have on our hands, to the probably more or less unaware or unconcerned, an upcoming war with Iran that is just waiting in the bay of the Gulf. We, the US, now have two armed aircraft carriers sitting out there keeping a watchful eye on Iran as the tensions mount and they tinker with their nuclear power plants. To think that we are not going to rattle our sabers and continue to spread democracy is an understatement. I believe the Roman Empire too wanted to spread their form of government. But it's not a religious war. Never think that. It's an ideological struggle. You may be scratching your heads and asking yourselves, what's the difference? I don't know. We are yet to have a scientist explain that one for us. One thing that I do know, is that our government is rich enough not to have to worry about strapping their soldiers with backpacks loaded with explosives to do the trick. We have smart bombs for that. And no collateral damage has ever occurred from a smart bomb, stupid. Anyhow, Iran is next. The puppets may change, but the strings that pull them never do.
"A man who is advancing (spiritually) will begin to enjoy the deeper beatitude whether he is at work or not. While his hands are in society, he keeps his head cool in solitude." Ramana Maharshi
"Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to the garage makes you a car." Laurence J. Peter
Then, there's the release of another videotape, just a day before the State of the Union and our puppet's desire to maintain a sense of vigilance in the war on terror which always needs reinforcing, of what eerily looks like a puppet of some kind, or it may have been Jim Henson's creation on acid, Al Qaida's no.2 man, Zawhiri or something or other waiving his finger and threatening the destruction and death to all US Civilians and soldiers in Iraq. Begging for us to send them more sacrifices to the funeral pyre. And what does our puppet want to do, oblige them with more. Whoever he is or they are, they all pale in comparison to Bin-Laden. Remember him. The boogeyman.
"When ignorance is destroyed, the self is liberated from its identification with the world. This liberation is Enlightenment." The Yogas Sutras of Patanjali 2:25
Chavez. You get a big thumbs up from me and surprisingly you are not dead yet. Your time will come. Hugo, for those who aren't in the know. That's Venezuela. Public school geography lesson. Thank you.
By the way. The World Economic Forum is taking place right now in Switzerland. The lack of coverage given to this blood sucking roundtable of how to make more money and to look innocent while you exploit the poor and uneducated while you do it, is of no surprise to me, being that the people who are present at the lavishly extravagant event are the same one who control the media. And remember, they are looking out for your best interests. Now, shut up and watch your American Idol. Please, whatever you do, don't pick up a book.

Scattered. Like my brain?
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.51
"When the self is known, all illusions vanish. The veil falls, and you see clearly. Your sorrows are dispelled. For the self is free and lives forever. Everything else is imagination, nothing more! Because he understands this, the master acts like a child." Ashtavakra Gita 18:6-7

On November 7th, in the red state of Ohio, there was a possible UFO sighting from an air traffic controller's tower at Ohio International Airport. The news of this possible sighting didn't reach the American public and the Associated Press until January 2nd. Why did they wait so long to report on something that they simply denied ever happening? Why not immediately come out the day after with the denial if it was so apparent that it wasn't a UFO? It's not like the US Government would ever cover anything up? Would they? Come on people, and Oswald had his rifle shipped to him at a P.O. Box in Dallas under his name?
Did anyone download the hanging of Saddam Hussein onto their I-Pods? Nice security on that job. We've created quite the little vacation spot in Baghdad, haven't we? Ohhhh, Beirut in the 80's. Good times. Good times. Shake that thing for the camera phone.
By the way, did anyone read or see that Barack Obama, our next Vice President, did Cocaine. "She don't lie, she don't lie, Cocaine." Not an outcry from anyone. Hey George W....see...you could've admitted it, it was a mistake, that's all. Oh that's right, you don't make mistakes. Only escalations. 20k more troops in Iraq should do the trick to stabilize the region. Simple. Great speech on Wednesday night, threatening to confront the war on terror in Iran and Syria if need be. And then, just like always, the perfect timing of a rocket hitting the US Embassy in Athens, Greece the next day. Not during the Olympics, when the whole world was there. But a day after a speech to America. See everybody, were still fighting a war on terror. I wasn't just blowing hot air. Kind of like the last time the G-8 got together in Scotland, and while they were there, the London bombings happened. See everybody, were not just making this stuff up. We really need to hold you for as long as we want and charge you with nothing and not let you speak to a lawyer and you are guilty until proven innocent in the war on terror. But were here to help protect your God given rights. What a crock. Happy 5th Anniversary to Guantanamo Bay on the 11th of January 2007. 5 years ago we sent 22 supposed terrorists. 22 on the 11th. 9/11. 11/22, they do love their 11, 22, 33's don't they. They don't plan any of it do they? It's all simple coincidence. And, did anyone notice how the American Media pretty much sidestepped that landmine of news information? Nice. That and the lack of the attention given to the fact that the President and the US Government now has the power to open anyone's mail without a warrant, is just another, in a long list of examples of how fascist our Government has become and how weak and muffled the cries of freedom and justice have been. Then again, Genius is never in the majority.
I ask, Where is our shepard? For we are becoming sheep led to the slaughter. The land of the Free and home of the brave, has become just so long as you have enough money and you are not free thinking.
"Ease destroys bravery, trouble.......creates strength." Maimonides "Guide for the Perplexed"
The United States Government is helping to create some 500k temporary jobs for Iraqi citizens. Not bad after three and a half years. Awesome. First we'll kill your boss who we hired for the job, and then we'll find you a job. How's that for a temp agency?
Go see Children of Men.
