(Still Pondering) Rebirth Control

I'm building up a serious resilience with people.

Having seen the worst, I "get" no one's pure.

These scared little things, proving words aren't really worth much.

And expect mine won't be worth any more.

No surprise they produced Hitler; Stalin, or Pol Pot.

Please. Like Osama, they're par for the course.

And what about you, Oh enlightened lover, of artistry, music, and all that's divine?

Initiated any office intrigue, lately?

Plotted on anyone for not going along?

Cheated with anyone, married, just lately?

Yes, it was their fault, they just should've known.

It's like tending to flowers, each refusing to open.

Except when there's sex and you're talking about legs.

I get a kick how they hope they'll be reincarnated.

To come back as something more beautiful than before.

Look At Me (I'm Not Thinking)

"Being openly mocked is not something leftists can tolerate for very long because what they want more than anything else is to be admired and esteemed. They are, after all, on a mission to save the world and it is paramount that others acknowledge the sanctity of his goal.

Many acquire the views and affiliations they have for therapeutic reasons, as membership in the Democratic Party makes them feel good about themselves. It announces to society that “they care” while those on the right do not. Such a configuration is discernible in their approach to diverse issues like poverty, the environment, the schools, taxes, social security, and health care. They care; we don’t. They help; we harm. They love; we love our wallets.

Theirs is an emotional truth or, more cogently, emotion posing as truth. Reducing and traducing politics into a Manichean affair — they are light; we are dark — swells their souls and gives them a sense of purpose. Conservatives pointing out that their method of self-affirmation may ruin the country is merely proof of our own divisiveness and pessimism."

The True Face Of France: Shocking

"Unemployment remains around 25% for those between the ages of 20 and 28 (higher still among those without a diploma) and as high as 80% among immigrant populations in the ghettos."

-- Guy Sorman, writing on the (rarely mentioned) problems of France, as reported in the Wall Street Journal

Don't be fooled: 40% are dumb enough to use homeopathy (water) as medicine; the toilets don't work; they encourage the pain of marital infidelity as normal; they're boring, stupid, extremely anti-American, and extremely insecure; racist, anti-Semitic, and they eat a diet that's so limited the average American would eventually think they're being forced to consume peanut butter every night.

Yea, it's a great place, dripping with intelligence and freedom. Don't believe the hype:

France is an "sophisticated" wasteland.

Sorry, But Paper Moon Wasn't THAT Good,...

"Today was the first time I was relapsing, but you guys saved me! Can you let me go?"

I Say It's Her Breath

"If the [Obama] endorsement wasn’t the cause of Oprah’s slide, it may be a symptom of a bigger problem that is less political than—in a way—religious."

-- James Poniewozik, wondering aloud for TIME Magazine

From The Mouths Of Babes

I missed this when it happened, and I know how (why doesn't the national media spread these kinds of stories when they happen?) but we've all got to watch it now, because it's about as accurate a portrayal of what's wrong with adults today as we're ever going to get. This clip perfectly demonstrates the type of sophisticated irrationalism I encounter daily, supporting spiritual beliefs, anti-Americanism, feminism, racism, and almost any other unnecessary behavior I can think of. This, my friends, is "the average adult in America," portrayed in all their ugly glory.

Keep in mind as you watch: this is Monica Conyers - the wife of Democratic Congressman John Conyers - and if there was any justice in the world, this performance alone would be enough for an 8th Grader to take her high-falutin' job, on-the-spot. I betcha, since she displys such a similarity with the defiantly simple-minded "logic" NewAgers use, if we could look in Mrs. Conyers' medicine cabinet, we'd find every alternative medicine ever invented.

This is a truly sad, embarrassing, and frustrating statement on the rampant bull-headedness running through this country in 2008.

And it's so bad even a damn child can see it.

FRANCE:

"From the 2007 outset of his five-year term, French president Nicolas Sarkozy began to impose commonsense economic reforms. In a country hobbled by a socialist mentality and ignorance of economics, this has naturally reduced his popularity. Labor unions strike and demonstrate, extreme-Left parties threaten to overthrow the government, and dockhands and fishermen block ports. And when the nanny state doesn’t give generously, many French react like spoiled children. The trendy squatters who were recently kicked out of a Paris building is a case in point.

Spearheading the occupation was a collective called Jeudi Noir (Black Thursday)—self-appointed champions of liberty, justice, and housing for all, unconcerned about the rights of property owners or the needs of the downtrodden. Convinced that the housing problems of students and young wage earners cannot be solved without strict controls on property rights that would effectively prohibit sharp rises in real estate values, Jeudi Noir and other groups squat in whole buildings—one near the stock exchange, for instance, which they named the Housing Crisis Ministry and occupied for over a year."

-- Nidra Poller, writing for New York's City Journal

THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA:

"'People would hear about it through the grapevine, hop off a freight train, and show up on our doorstep with a backpack, a banjo, and a Woody Guthrie song,' says Steve DiCaprio, a tenant who moved into the house in 2001 with his wife after living in a van out front. 'We had an open-door policy. Anyone could come in, no questions asked. They just had to abide by certain rules: no hard drugs, no racism, no homophobia, and no violence. We wanted to emphasize equality — it was a reaction to the closed, materialistic, competitive, dog-eat-dog society we live in.'

The house originally was part of the green property owner's attempt to create a network of sustainable, affordable housing. When his project floundered, the residence was slowly taken over by his tenants, a group of people who one-upped his radicalism. Both sides claimed to be avowed anticapitalists, but their strategies were at odds; his was to produce an alternative to the local housing market by creating a nonprofit that would help tenants own their homes as a collective. Theirs was to make space for themselves in a rent-based housing market by seizing property from investors and absentee landlords.

The owner eventually went bankrupt — drowned in the early stages of the current deflating housing market — and the property fell into the hands of a small-time real estate investor, despite the tenants' attempts to buy it themselves. The tenants refused to leave, transforming themselves into squatters, and fought it out with the buyer in court for three years. As the court case bogged down, housing values plummeted, making the landlord's investment lose value by the day.

On Feb. 28, when one of many hearings was set to take place, the squatters showed up in court but the landlord hadn't filed the paperwork needed to move the conflict closer to a resolution. The following night, in the early hours of March 1, someone lit three fires in the empty upper apartment, setting the house ablaze as people slept inside.

For years the house has been known as 'Hellarity,' although its original owner never called it that."

A True Revolution In Consciousness

Let's Get Real

A lot of people ask me why I'm so angry. Why I can't just "go with the flow."

They miss the point that that's how people fall into this cult mess to begin with: by being pliant, willing to believe anything, wanting to appear "nice," and/or wanting to be liked at all costs.

Another point is that cultism isn't static: people involved in cults and cultish-thinking are aggressively pushing others - either to join up or, one way or another, being forced to do what they say: they're trying to make something happen - and their occult (or "hidden") actions are bound to get a reaction, which (once discovered) they know will be negative. No one likes being manipulated and taken advantage of:

So it's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who says people are not "saving the planet," though that's the real inconvenient truth.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you recycling is useless, wastes our time, raises our taxes, and makes people feel superior.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who can prove there's no overflowing landfills, and people are reacting to a lie.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you one scientist after another who, either, didn't go along with global warming "science" - or decided they've changed their minds - while others insist "the debate is over" and efforts are underway to levy another hefty tax on us for that, too.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will alert you that environmentalist's alarming "global warming" - which believers would've had to prove quickly - has morphed into the more user-friendly "climate change," and, both, it's critics and supporters speak of it as a "religion," something "spiritual," and a "cult."

It's the people who can see through cults and cultish-thinking - and don't want to be pushed around, and ripped-off, in this way - who it is always necessary to label as the bad guys.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will prove Homeopathy's pure water, and the quacks who sell it are delusional at best, and liars at worst.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who says Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and Healing Touch, are other shape-shifting titles for essentially just waving your hands.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who says chiropractic makes no sense, and documents how it's causing problems - like strokes. Or that vitamins and supplements are nothing but a scam, ran by a cartel in Utah.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will alert you that the "occult" section of bookstores morphed into "NewAge," and then to "Mind/Body/Spirit," and these worthless and expensive "practices" are thriving in a hospital, hospice, and health food store, near you - with, absolutely, no evidence any of it works.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will tell you there's no such thing as a "chakra," nor is there "energy," or "meridians," or any "auras" one can find anywhere - despite years of x-rays, surgery, and other procedures, where we can easily look inside and around the human body.

These are all examples of cults and cultish thinking in our society, ripping off the public (and, many times, directing money to criminals), and it's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who can see how and why such things are being done.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who rudely mentions that, both, John "Men Are From Mars" Grey and Deepak Chopra were followers of the giggly Maharishi, and all were busted trying to run a scam past the Journal of American Medicine Association (JAMA).

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you their scam occured after the Maharishi was originally denounced by The Beatles, something newspapers rarely mention when they connect his beliefs with the band.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who finds the Maharishi suppressed negative meditation studies that showed meditators grow cold-hearted, and go crazy, and says there's nothing "compassionate" about telling folks lies.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will remind you the Maharishi was (clearly) a cult leader who got away with it, and anyone who says the media assisted him must immediately be labeled a very bad guy.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you the Mormon's leader, Joseph Smith, was first brought to the attention of the public after being arrested for fraud.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you the Catholics worked with the Nazis. It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you the Dali Lama did too.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you another Buddhist leader, here in the West, knowingly gave AIDS to his followers.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will show you L. Ron Hubbard was a racist and his e-meters do nothing at all.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who will say all religions started out as cults because stating that truth, in the face of their "faith," is what makes anyone faith's bad guy.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who points out the "cult" talk around Oprah.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who noticed it around Obama, too.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who saw cults are all around the Clintons.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who discovered Arrianna Huffington is best friends with a cult leader.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who saw Congress made the Moonie leader "king."

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who knows MoveOn.org was and is an astrology outfit.

It's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who is addressing cults and political power - another subject newspapers won't seriously touch - and it's necessary to label anyone the bad guy who doesn't think such crass and bald-faced liars are deserving to lead.

So why am I so angry?

No reason:

I guess I was just born a really bad guy.

Letting It All Hang Out

More proof of what Barack Obama says he didn't know was happening in his church for 20 years. Does anyone look uncomfortable here? Or does the congregation look like they're getting what they came for?

I would have a lot more respect for Barack Obama if he had just come clean. Knowing the inner struggle over race that most blacks go through, I could accept him saying it can be complicated - so much, that it's possible he got lost along the way. Feelings can get hurt unnecessarily. That's what a person who's trying to transcend race says. They let you know they care - whether they're sure if they're right or not - and will invite you in, at least, to look over the evidence with them. That's what you do with people you love.

But to deny he knew what was being said in that church? That's rich. Barack Obama has been trying to "pull a fast one" on us. He was trying to be subversive. He was trying to get power so he could "paint the White House black." Make no doubt about it: he was going to slam people for being white, in their wallets, not just with words. This "Father" Pfleger is white - and he's loved - because he supports a racist agenda against his own skin color; there's no educating, of any kind, happening here. This is merely what some whites think they have to do to receive the love they desire so badly. Real "respect" never comes into it. No one in this video is being a full human being.

Word is Barack Obama has broken with his church after this screed. It's a little late for that now. His campaign is broken and he's been exposed as a liar.

I think it's time for him to go home.
