BEING A PROPHET

02/28/2010


BEING A PROPHET

It was easy being a prophet in the dark ages, people still believed in the super natural, and with little control and understanding of the nature, they always surrendered to the unknown. Today we have sciences and technology, we have knowledge of physics, and chemistry, we understand biology, we have been to the moon and come back, we even control the birth and the life and the death. So it is that even though we proclaim to profess  a religion, out relation to and the fear of the supernatural is mininmal.

 In the old days thus, it was easy for the prophet to scare people in to giving up their evil ways and to have them follow a moral guideline, even if it involved child sacrifice or anointing the alter and the doorways with the blood of sacrifice. It did not take much for people to fear nature, a bad crop, a small disease, an uruly ruler were all that it took for the people to become confirmists. To understand and fear the wrath of nature.

Today, however,  even with the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, which followed the large earthquakes in Pakistan and China, and a Tsunami in the Indian ocean with hundreds of thousands dead, the hurricane in New Orleans, the people don't seem to be scared of the nature, they have not become more  pious and or less greedy. And the  prophets may warn of the next upcoming doom, the world changer, the message yet falls upon deaf ears. It may not be the time to find a new "God" or a God anew, it is time for us to reconsider our priorities,our place in the nature, away  from the TV, away from "Youtube" and the "Facebook", there is a life out there, "for real".

IT MAY SOUND CRUEL

02/26/2010


IT MAY SOUND CRUEL


It may sound cruel and insensitive to many, but as in this case here and millions more every year we have taken the right of death from the hands of God, and given it to doctors and technology. We need to redefine death and who has the right to bring death to a person when we won't let God kill someone at the appointed time, we are no longer extending life, we are prolonging the process of death itself. God is already not the sole creator of life, we have artificial insemination and donor sperms, and egg transplants. God can not kill because we have CPR, iron lings, and heart transplants, so the matter of life and death is solely in the domain of man. Only question remaining now is what the quality of life is remaining. With my deepest condolences to the Olbermann family, the pain and suffering of the old man does not seem to be worth it. There must come a time that the doctors must conclude past their own profit and religious motives and say THIS THE TIME. And the families should be told the truth that we are keeping a dead person around, that is before they become broke. The problem with the insurance money and the federal programs such as medicare and medicaid, families have tough time facing the truth while they are causing themselves and the country to go broke while they make the doctors , lawyers and the insurance executives richer.

WHAT IS KILLING YOU

WHAT IS KILLING YOU


Do you see a connection? From health care costs going up to housing prices going down, to the corruption and greed of the individual and politicians, and the moral destruction of society,  there is one common thread, one main reason all of this is happening, it is called technology. Just when you were thinking that the science was going to save us all, the science is killing us, will kill us faster than you think.

YES, THERE ARE TWO PATHS, BUT

02/23/2010


YES, THERE ARE TWO PATHS, BUT

If you  are to be honest, you can see a recovery and a return to the  conditions of wealth, jobs etc is not only improbable, but mathematically impossible also.

The government is lying again, that the consumer spending keeps going up month to month, how that is even possible is not explained. The housing prices are down , the wages are stagnant, the unemployment is up, all of which would seem to indicate a lower spending, But still we are told that we are spending more money. we must have imported our statisticians from the Soviets.Can we trust the media? apparently not.

We are always told of the free and independent media in this country, but that is no longer true, our media are owned by corporations that are interested in making profits, not informing the public.

THERE TWO PATHS THAT YOU CAN GO BY, BUT

02/19/2010

THERE TWO PATHS THAT YOU CAN GO BY, BUT


So the song says, and so it is, there are two paths, both of them will lead us to ruin, a liberal path and a conservative path.

Time and again, I have mentioned my reasons as to why I see that this, our country is on a path to self destruction. I am also proud to say that I warned of it long before many late comers saw it coming, long before Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck and Alex Jones,  long before even Reagan had left the office.

I was still in the active duty army when Regan was reelected, I did not vote for him, he was breaking up the unions, he had re- done the tax code ( which had personally increased my taxes.

Look at it this way, say the Democrats are for abortion and for welfare, the Republicans are against abortion and against welfare. Now when you want to cut taxes and reduce spending while you stop abortions the poverty will increase, and so will illegal abortions, on the other hand if you keep feeding the welfare machine more and more poor keep having kids as they can get welfare, but still you increase poverty, and the number of the poor, thus neither party has a real solution.

Another thing is the military industrial complex, here the Democrats want to reduce defense spending while in reality most of the defense workers are unionized and have the best benefits of all workers in the country. The Republicans can't be serious about tackling the deficits without actually reducing the spending on defense, so once again both sides are lying about solving the budget, deficit crisis.

IS THIS MAN STUPID? OR YOU ARE?

02/17/2010



IS THIS MAN STUPID? OR YOU ARE?







On most days I listen to this jack ass on the radio, I call him a jack ass for calling him a man would be an insult to humanity.

My qualm with this moron is not the he himself an ignorant imbecile, as an American he has that right, my problem is that for three hours a day some one is paying him to lower the intelligence level of a large swath of our populace, whether for a political purpose or may be even just for financial exploitation of the unwary.

There are laws to protect the innocent, and laws against exploitation of the consumers, and surely one could argue that out right lying to the public is not covered by the first amendment protections, just as you can not yell "fire" in a theater.

My problem is two fold, one that the most of the other conservative media are also lying still, trying to cover their asses, ( Liberal media too) as to how they sat on their hands while the ship of state sank economically and morally, that they were all rooting for the looters and the thieves in all their guises.

Could it even be possible that his listeners never check any other news source? Are they so ignorant that they believe everything he says, if so then this man is dangerous to the country and the Democracy.

No doubt that he knows that most of his listeners (followers) are not rich or self employed business persons, quite the contrary they are lower middle class workers with little knowledge of the financial world, business, taxes or even money management, and this evil pied piper, frothing at the mouth clown, misguides, misinforms and misleads these poor causing them to make judgments that actually hurt the ones who listen to him the most. Some business owners who do not know how to run the business or ones who have a wrong business model or expectations are also easy prey, believing they would be successful only if it were not for the government, taxes or regulations.

GAMBLING VS FORNICATION

02/14/2010


GAMBLING VS FORNICATION

What else should I write about on this Valentine's day but "Fornication vs Gambling". And the topic is appropriate for my state of Alabama as there is a lot of hoopla around the subject of gambling good or bad.

There are two groups here, one group saying that the gambling, ( we here call it legal Bingo or even (( tongue in cheek)) charity bingo), creates jobs that our state needs so desperately, and that they are dong this just to help out the poor, the other led by our not so esteemed but steamed governor say that gambling is immoral and creates problems for the society. Could they both be right?

Let's see, I have previously proposed that no rich people ever create a job for the sole purpose of helping out the poor, I have even said that rich create jobs so that the can exploit the labors of the poor for their own benefit, this is not Marxism but John Adams at his purest.

Let me assure you that I am not naive there is good in gambling, especially if you are winning, it does create jobs, and does spread the money around, mostly towards the rich and the casino owner, so let's admit first that a bingo hall by any other name is still a casino, you go to lay your money down on a chance of winning or losing or there would be no fun in it.

But the question I have is this, why are we not crusading against extra marital- premarital sex when they cause just as many problems in the society as would gambling, if not more?
Or is it just easier to pick on just one group of "sinners" as opposed the majority of the people?
Isn't dating just another name for fornication as Bingo is to gambling? Or is banning dating and extra marital sex next on the agenda of the moral police?

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS VII

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS VII


While we look at and may be laugh at the crisis in Greece, we should be seeing our own future.
We are taught that the history is a lesson in the future, The Bible and the other "holy" books tell us stories of the people in times so that we may learn how to conduct our selves and to know what the consequences can be for "improper" ways of living.

The stories also tell us how to predict what is to come, some also call it karma. Sometimes it a national karma. Then how is it that so many of us who profess faith of some kind or another could be so mistaken. How did we get so stupid that some one could write a book that "the Secret" to get what we wanted was a condition of persistent "wishful thinking".

The truth is that human beings are basically lazy, we do not love freedom, or responsibility, we want things to be free. Time and again we have shown that we ill sell our brothers, our wives and our mothers and daughters for an easy way out. We are basically immoral, and do not like to be told to work hard, or even work at all or make sacrifices. May be that is why all religions require some kind of sacrifice as a proof of one's sincerity.

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS IV

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS IV

You can be mad at me for what I say, but I have company now, but before we go in to the details, just remember this, I was the first one who told you this.

"No matter who you are and what your faith or beliefs, whether you be a right winger or a liberal, Republican or a Democrat, the result is the same, we all get to the same place.

Was it all planned, was it by design, was it a conspiracy, in reality of today it matters not. We are "HERE", and that is all that matters now. So forget the governments protestations and promises, forget the faith and belief, they are not going to help.

Beck tells you the he started thinking about this three years ago, I have been telling you this for over thirteen years, "we are headed for a catastrophe". And you can do nothing about it. My book of poetry was dedicated to our social and economic problems, the decline of our morals and our society, what else you needed to know?

Does any one else find this a strange coincidence then that as Glenn Beck wants you to be ready for a revolution, and John Boener and his ilk want to mount a political rebellion, is at the same time that the European communist also want to bring down the system thru chaos and anarchy.

AFFIA SIDDIQUI IS CONVICTED

AFFIA SIDDIQUI IS CONVICTED


In the most under reported story in the American Press,


'Lady Al Qaeda' Aafia Siddiqui convicted of attempted murder

Originally Published:Wednesday, February 3rd 2010, 2:28 PM

"This is a verdict coming from Israel not America," Aafia Siddiqui exclaimed after hearing the conviction.

"This is a verdict coming from Israel not America," Aafia Siddiqui exclaimed after hearing the conviction.

The woman dubbed "Lady Al Qaeda" was convicted Wednesday of attempted murder for shooting at Americans in Afghanistan - and she reacted in typical fashion.

"This is a verdict coming from Israel not America," Aafia Siddiqui exclaimed, raising one hand and pointing up before being led out of the Manhattan courtroom.

"That's where the anger belongs. I can testify to this. And I have proof."

The outburst was hardly shocking; Siddiqui disrupted her own trial several times with bizarre statement and demands to take the stand in her own defense.

Despite her insistence she never grabbed an Army rifle and opened fire on her U.S. interrogators, a federal jury found her guilty of attempted murder and six other counts.

The 37-year-old MIT-trained neuroscientist faces life in prison when she's sentenced May 6. "Juries do make mistakes. Juries do go wrong" said Elaine Sharp, one of Siddiqui's lawyers.

"In my opinion this verdict is based on fear, not on fact."

Sharp said when she told Siddiqui the verdict, she asked that a message be sent to her supporters at home in Pakistan that she did not want any violent demonstrations.

The lawyer claimed Siddiqui's anti-Israeli comments were the paranoid rantings of a women who had been held in solitary confinement for 18 months.

Siddiqui was arrested in 2008 in Afghanistan after being caught with poisonous chemicals, bomb-making instructions and a list of New York landmarks.

She grabbed an unguarded rifle at an Afghan police station and started shooting at the Americans sent to grill her.

She was not charged with terrorism.

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS V

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS V

And the economic down turn shall continue.

If you believe I am wrong then think again. I have been warning of this day for fifteen years or more, and as we have continued along I have explained the various matrices and the reasons for the way the economy and the markets were behaving in that moment. Four years ago,in late 2006, I told Chip Bailey on his radio show, and tried to show Joe Gorecki why the market's were wrong and the Dow should be at six thousand, markets have had no relation with reality for a while, but they were wrong then and they are wrong now.

A theory is just that, a theory, and it is only as good as the premises it is based on. Economics is not and exact science, and that is why we are here, well also because of the money is being manipulated by charlatans and the governments. Why is it that no Nobel winner saw it coming, they wanted the future to confirm their fantasies. Did not Alan Greenspan admit that he was wrong in his assumptions about the human behavior.

Look around you, look at the society, here and abroad, given the opportunity the humans will sink to the base, is that not what I have been saying,

Then here is the rest of your future. I f you are a working stiff, you have no money in your 401k, your retirement fund is broke, and they are talking about your social security start date will be delayed, there is no money left in your medicare fund either. I f you have kids that will be going to college, there is no money for that either, of course there are Pell grants and student loans, but good luck.

How did we ever become convinced that we could all get rich by spending borrowed money? And this is the same mantra that Bush was pushing for eight years and Reagan did before every body else. And now Obama is being trashed for saying the same thing, granted he is naive, that he was naive, I have said that much, I said it the day he was elected. He did not know what he was getting himself in to.
