Welcome to Bush Impeachment Central. Actually there's a whole new way in which Bush will be impeached by Historians and that's his utterly shoving Global Warming and the whole ecology thing under the table. I think people in as little as five years from now, in 2011 will be scratching their heads wondering how we ever had this guy as President. According to sixty minutes there is this whole thing with nuclear waste near Vancouver, Washington that's making its way tword the Columbia river. There will be a major disaster, Chernoble stile, if that happens, and the threat appears almost certain to. On April 26th. of last week we celebrated the 20th. anniversary of Chernoble in Russia. Of course this adminestration is even worse than we thought. It appears that Valerie Plame (?) was under cover invesstigating Nukes in Iran. I guess that's a topic the adminestration doesn't care about. I think stem cell research is really going to take off in the next presidential adminestration, whoever he or she is. Apparently twenty years ago according to Andy Rooney on his bit last Sunday, showed predictions CBS news had made twenty years ago for now, and among other things was that everyone would have a jacuzzi in their bathroom. Also predicted that every form of center would be abolished due to new discovered drugs. If we cut down too much of the Amazon forrests, the plants the drugs are made out of may become extinct before we get to them. Conservatives delight in saying there is absolutely no future in stem cell research so we should give it up and return to more "conventional" medicine. Yeah, like live leeches. Never let it be said conservatives are not nay-sayers. Some question the morality of using human embryos for the project. These embryos are under a death sentense any how and the Utilitarian in me says we ought to make use of them. My new philosophy is, "If Jesus won't heal you- - use stem cells". I think whoever is president come 2009 will be the one who is really "building a bridge to the 21st. Century. For some people, being President isn't good enough. Teresa on Passions isn't running for President, she's running for "God". If you wonder about a woman President, how about a woman God? I think it would be a refreshing change, myself. I think you'd get someone with more of a "get things done" attitude, but also someone with a lot more human compassion.

Two blogs back we "dropped" the name of Mark Campbell into the mix. Perhaps you people would like to learn a little more about it. Well, I've been looking for any excuse to use something from the archives. The following recounting of mine was done in a July 2004 file:

And now it’s more of “Things you may have forgotten about the ZAC”. In the spring of 1979 we had developed the theology of land was good and the sea was bad. The desert was good for spiritual renewal. Fish and other sea life was good, boats were bad. (who’d guess we’d get our theology from Kenny the Shark) Oysters were good but pearls were bad. The Christians were in the boats trying to catch fish. As you know I sent Bob Howland that letter addressed “The Church of the Holy Mackerel” and theology by “Karl Barf”. We discuss this in the Tombs file. We even invented that story about Howard Richards getting seasick on his way to Catalina in er. June 1970. Actually it was I who made that trip and I did not get sea sick. X’s were good and O’s were bad. X’s stood for openness and the emanation of energy and Life Force. Circles were bad because they excluded, and then denoted rules and regulation, and denoted limitation, and denoted repetition and predictability of action. The Wheel of Fortune tarot card was seen as an unlucky one by us because it was number 16 in our sequence, and sixteen was seen as a dangerous year. Mark also had the thing of the cosmic Rainbow. The colors went from violet to red, and then some. Earth was in realm twelve. There were twenty two realms just as there were twenty two tarot cards. Actually me and Mark decided to give Jim Cooper credit for the tarot card part of it, because this was seen as of lesser import-ance. Realm eleven was The Sea of Green, a la Yellow Submarine. This is basically a negative place. Like being on a bad acid trip all the time. Both Richi Vallenz and Stewart Sutcliffe spent time there and neither considers it worth remembering. Realm ten was a “mirror universe” like the psychics talk about, only this realm has a controlling influence over our world, so they aren’t equal. Realm nine, the Chariot, is psychic travel, equivalent to micro waves that travel through things. Realm eight is the red realm. In this purgatory realm you are asked to solve riddles. Realm seven is Justice. You are given a reward (symbolized by yellow or Gold) for your life, and Realm six is green, which stands for paradise. Grace Slick and Paul Kantner had a child together in 1970 and called it “God”. Mark Campbell was captivated by this “Peace Child” mythology. But other than exist, what Zachery did was unimportant. That is, until X number of decades passed. Only thing is, Tomorrow never Got Here. In this the ZAC contradicted another of its axioms. “It’s not the destination’ it’s the Journey that’s important”. I think people need to think of that. Personally, I like Charles Manson’s expression of “Bringing a person to Now”. That is, suddenly deciding what’s important- - right Now- - not in the bye and bye. I don’t know. Any religion with a Messiah, that Messiah better be fifty years old and in a place of Governmental Power, or he’s useless in these times.

I want to talk about Mark Campbell a little. There are two divergent version of how Mark came in contact with our social circle. One of them is on the next file and I haven’t typed that yet. The other is the one in Sougern, which doesn’t put Mark on the scene till early 1980. When I told Bill Gunderson I was just a little mentally fuzzy on how Mark and I first met he figured he’d better come up with another account. Mark was a guy who was good at “playing possum” amongst Christians. He knew to keep his cool and not express his opinion amongst all the religious rhetoric. It was only with me in private that he said Born Again Christianity was a bunch of bullshit. He talked to [bleeped out. This individual might be traced by his nickname and he might not like that] (alias Jim Cooper) but didn’t entirely trust him. Are you all clear? Mark was interested in film making and photography. He was fascinated by lighting and camera angles and what was in a picture. He was a definite believer in the axiom “Every Picture Tells A Story”. He definitely believed you could tell a story from a photograph.

OK I'd like to do a couple of songs now. I've got a verse from June 1980 and then a verse from "See You in Hell" from August of 1979. There are three more verses in the preceeding posting that follows: C R I stands for Christian Research Institute.

Well I saw you down at C. R. I. and you walked in
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin
You know he'll string you out, and hang you up
Cause I told you before- - You're All Screwed Up!

My friend, Judas Iscariot
His names means "Praise the Lord"
He got himself elected
Chairman of the board
He says "Palestine is yours to liberate
You just say the Word"
As Jesus places on Judas' plate
A freshly deposited turd
"You ought not to have done that
It will not searve you well
As Judas makes plans with the Priests
To send Jesus off to Hell
