All Your Base Are Belong To Us

"It's just business as usual. You may as well complain that the sky is blue.

The technologies of mind control are as old as `civilization' itself. The interesting thing is that even when the mechanism of the technology is no longer an occult secret of the socially elite but open for those as care to look, it still works perfectly.

You can fool some of the people some of the time and that's all it takes in any society."

-- Johnny Pate, a recent commenter from Edinburgh, England, and Johnny Pate.net

Yea, I've considered that; thinking my intimacy and shock (from the death included) is what gets to me more than others.

But intellectualizing it doesn't make it any less creepy.

Nor does it mean we shouldn't talk about this stuff especially.

People are using it, and it's working: discuss.

I couldn't have confidently predicted back in January that John McCain will win in a landslide, despite what I think of as the NewAge's best efforts, without telegraphing A) I think I know my country pretty darn well and B) I think the fundamentals of America are sound. But damn it, if this era and election - what we're witnessing right now featuring Bill and Hillary and Al Gore and Oprah and Ken Wilber and Gavin Newsom with Nancy Pelosi just "trying to save the planet" with Scientology and est and "Head-On" and talk of one square of toilet paper apiece - if this isn't a perfect storm to note the results these other so-called metaphysical streams flowing through our political discourse present, then when and where is it?

Speaking of which:

Above is Fred Baron's son, Andrew (Fred's the guy who's bankrolling the secrecy around John Edwards's NewAge affair with Rielle Hunter.) Andrew (who reportedly has a big mouth - and something called Rocketboom) apparently doesn't think as much as I do of the investigative work of Deceiver.com's Simon Scowl, so Baron wrote this about Scowl:

“I appreciate that we live in a world with checks and balances but it seems like the author of this blog is either on crack or working for Republican extremists."

Which prompted Scowl to reply:

"As if they’re mutually exclusive!"

And you know what? Suddenly I knew I had all the proof I needed I wasn't alone,....so tear up, bitches:

This is what passes for an Oprah Moment around here.

This Doesn't Inspire Confidence

“Joe Biden and I see eye to eye on the way this country should be run.”

-- Fred Baron, fund-raiser for Barack Obama and "John Edwards’ money man/girlfriend’s financial angel," in Jennifer Rubin's column for Commentary Magazine.

Bad Company

Code Pink has done it (wrong) again: it seems that it's co-founder, Jodi Evens, above (who "hosted Obama's first Hollywood fundraiser in February 2007, along with Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg and her ex-husband Max Palevsky" - are all NewAge women divorced?) has been busted supporting the insurgency in Iraq! Look:

Yea, that's her (I'd know those tits anywhere.) Coupled with John Edwards's money man, Fred Baron, that makes at least two Barack Obama fund-raisers that seem to be caught in dirt. I'm sure there will be more:

Code Pink - the gift that keeps on giving.





"You're not my constituents." -- Nancy Pelosi, who gave Code Pink hope (and accepted their support) when she knew the Democrats couldn't stop the war.

"I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen."

-- John Edwards, commenting on the Bill & Monica Show of 1999, in the Guardian

True wisdom. Hey look - there's Gavin Newsom!

“Who knows why? Who cares? Whatever the reasons, could be a billion, obsessed girl that I am, I must have the damn book…..Justify justify justify addict addict addict. And, clearly, I need more reminders because clearly I can’t remember, so clearly I don’t have enough, oh my God, the comedy of it all. Somebody please stop the insanity.”

Lisa Druck, AKA "Rielle Hunter," in a musing taken from her NewAge website, and posted on Jossip.com

Spoken like the "enlightened" one she claims she is. They're all enlightened. You can see it in their eyes.

Dallas lawyer Fred Baron told The Dallas Morning News today that he made regular payments to the woman that former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards has confessed to having an affair with.

Mr. Baron, who was chairman of Mr. Edwards’ presidential campaign finance committee, said he paid money to Rielle Hunter to move from North Carolina to another location.

He said she and another campaign aide, Andrew Young, who claimed paternity of Ms. Hunter’s child, were being dogged by tabloid reporters who believed she had an affair with Mr. Edwards and fathered his child.

Mr. Baron would not say how much money he gave the couple to move."

-- Gromer Jeffers Jr., on the latest development to widen the cover-up beyond the Edwards campaign, wikipedia, and the mainstream press, for the Dallas Morning News

The logic of which is inescapable. It's even enlightened. As these things go.

"I want to see our party lead on the great moral issues - yes, me a Democrat using that word - the great moral issues that face our country. If we want to live in a moral, honest just America and if we want to live in a moral and just world, we can't wait for somebody else to do it. We have to do it."

-- John Edwards, talking to a crowd of supporters in one of the videos Lisa Druck recorded for his presidential campaign, also in the Guardian

NewAge enlightenment sure shot a big-ass hole in all that, didn't it?

Look at that face.

All of you who promote NewAge should be ashamed of yourselves.
