The Tripple Witching Hour

. This is Friday September 22, 2006 and fall officially begins at 9:03 our time or 12:03 or something east coast time. As you know it’s kind of a triple witching hour. Today is the start of the holy month Romadon in the Moslem calendar, and tonight at sunset is the start of Rosh Hashana. I imagine it’s also a new moon. Of course Romadon and Rosh Hashana would start together about one twelfth of 33 year cycle. In the news we learn that that Chavez guy from Venezuela was preaching at a church in Harlem yesterday, to many left wing applause. It seems the man actually believes in liberation theology, despite the fact that he is a communist. The President of Iran has continued to make anti U S statements and has met with American news reporters. This is the sort of thing that’s going to happen when a country like the US is dependant on foreign oil. We kind of have to learn to “take it”. Also in the news is the Jewishness of George Allan. His mother before she told him apparently said, “I hope you don’t end up hating me”. We already knew his mother was Tunesian. Allan has been rather defensive since he found out that he was part Jewish. Al Frankin was talking about this on his show today. The weather has been cooling off particularly today. They are starting to show maps of where the fall foliage is around the Great Lakes.

You know those three republican senators, John Mc Cain, John Warner, and Lindsey Graham, are three wooses. They’re the three little girls. “Three Little Maids” like the Gilbert and Sullivan play. Randy Rhodes spoke of Bush’s “Herem”. You know it has to be his personal Herem because there are no men there. Rusty Warren has more balls than this congress. You wonder what the hell the world is going to be like a year from now. A year ago I was still listening to Conservative talk radio and was inclined to defend George Bush about the hurricanes. When I see how far down hill things have slidden, it makes me wonder. When news of Abo Grave broke Bush indignently said he would get to the bottom of it all and how abuse has no place in POW camps. Now a year later thanks to the empty scrotum of the US congress, we are about to pass a law that gives the President the power to interperate the Geneva accords anyway he wants. But the bill still isn’t law yet. Randy Rhodes rightly protests that it’s just forty or so days before the congressional elections and why not let the American People decide what sort of tortore and interrogation rules we want to have, or not have. Apparently this session of congress is virtually out of time but the bill still isn’t law yet. The bill will have to go into conference and the Republican bill is worse. Apparently they gave the President everything he wanted. We need the Democrats to win both houses of congress so we can pass some decent legislation. And among the first bill I’d pass is a bill of centure against the President after a due amount of media spotlighted investigations.

The U S has gone from first to seventh in education among the world’s countries. But while the younger generation is the one getting smarter among most of the worlds emerging nations, it’s the old people, my generation, that has the brains and the college education in this country. They say 51% of the Canadian citizens have a college degree in that country. In this country the figure is 39%. And yet you can bet that figure was a whole lot lower in the thirties when “It’s A Wonderful Life” showed everybody with college degrees in a small town, as though it were the norm. Perhaps they thought it would be but now, seventy years later, only 39% of the people have college degrees. It is said that whereas in former times the govt. would pay for almost all a person’s education now that figure has dropped to below half. And it’s suggested that perhaps the Military stands to gain the most of this lack of education because poor people will have more of an incentive to join the military. Let Paul Simon write that on the wall. Well, a lot of things are going to change, and soon, with a new democratic congress.

When does a Crusade become an obcession? George Bush used to call this “War on Terror” (alias on Islam) a “Crusade” but then dropped the term under pressure. It could be said the Moslems are on a “Crusade” to hate Christianity, and the Pope. This didn’t used to be the case but we declaired War first. Apparently in an attempt to enlist Pakistan in our “Crusade” George Bush threatened “to bomb Pakistan back into the stone age is their leaders didn’t cooperate with our war plans”. I’ve heard roomers that for President Lincoln, winning the Civil War was kind of an obcession with him. Of course sometimes we obcess over things that aren’t rightly ours to obcess over, like with Philip Kiriacus on Days of our Lives. It’s a trite saying but true that those who refuse to learn the lessons of history are bound to repeat the mistakes. I think having a national crusade against an entire religion for this country is a mistake. Those people have already shown that they are more willing to die for their cause than we are for ours. World opinion means something. Even the Christian religion was “tried in the press”. If there were no press, nobody would even know or care about all the martyrs there were. This country could bomb the whole Islamic realm back to the stone age if we wanted to. What we are seeing now among Christians is the “Larry Elderization” of Christianity. Christianity is becoming more cruel and heartless, and yes, more “pragmatic”. It does things now that are “expedient”. Lots of people have commented on the fact that World Oppinion is no longer with the United States. How long can we continue to be one nation taking on the world? Maybe George Bush thinks he is doing what he is doing for the history books, like Abraham Lincoln did. Republicans including Larry Elder are now fond of pitching the Civil War in this country as a crusade to liberate the Black man, which it most certainly was not, as evidenced of what Lincoln himself said. He said “If I could win the war by freeing all of the slaves, I’d do that; If I could win the war by freeing none of the slaves, I ‘d do that. It could be that throughout history, War has been something imposed by the leaders, be they Knights Templar or the Christian Coalition, against the common people. Nobody believes Christianity stands for Peace any more. It never did. It was a Lie and now that Lie is so Exposed, it isn’t even funny. When and if we impeach George Bush we will be in fact impeaching Christianity. It’s the Christian Coalition, or whatever it’s called now, that’s on trial. Chaves says Bush is the devil. I say that God Himself is The Devil. Some say that when you fight your enemy you become like him. I say that when you and your enemy always to be implementing the same measures to accomplish their respective goals, those two enemies are becoming Alike. As a spiritual decendant of Martin Luther, this crusader is still at war with the Devil. But it’s the Devil of the Military Industrial Complex and all those obscene War Profits.

SOMETHING FOR EXTRA CREDIT

To take a psychic moment “time out” before we continue, I’d like to express my complaints to the Orion Federation that I haven’t been receiving any “News from the Front” lately. I think they want me to make my own karmic discoveries. Perhaps the same thing could be said of the software Sketch-up. My complaint against that is if you try to draw a five pointed star and you aren’t in the right “Dimension” the line goes all over the place even if you should draw it perfectly in your own limited perception realm. In Sketch you have the two dimensions you see and the one you don’t. And that one you don’t travels in an imaginary straight line from your eyes to the page and anything you draw could fall Anywhere along that continuoum and you don’t know where. I say this because this is kind of how it is with the psychic dimension. There are the three dimensions we see, and those two or three that elude our consciousness. Fish eye lenses portray straight lines as curved. But if you projected these images inside a dome and looked all around the dome, those lines would again look straight. In sketch they don’t “do” the curved line bit. Sketch looks at a “projection” of the world based on standing back and looking at a giant picture of Roger Waters. NO! Looking at a giant Wall. Since film is exposed on a flat surface logic dictates that photographs must be flat. When I do the optics, “Flat” is the only way that that it adds up. Sketch must agree. Their pictures assume a flat projection plane. What this means is that you are standing at an assumed distance from the “Wall” or whatever. Here if you see parallel horizontal straight lines, they are straight all the time. They travel out to infinity or when Hell freezes over. Whichever occurs first. But just as flat maps of the world are distorted at the poles- - they’re stretched in all directions. (Selah) When you are 45 degrees off plane either up or down or side to side, the image is stretched in that direction. If you are 45 degrees off plane you’re being stretched by the square root of two or 1.44 (144%) approximately. If you look sixty degrees off plane, you’re being stretched double. This “stretching” that occurs on World Maps and in Google sketches is a “necessary distortion” that occurs on paper to express a bigger truth. The awareness of this distortion, from lack of the psychic dimension- - is the Key to much Enlightenment. What you do in the Psychic dimension counts – whether you want it to or not. (Selah)
