The Cosmic Buzz-saw

Greetings to all revolvers of the karmic wheel. 2004 is just around the corner. But first I want to talk about 2008 and the Democrats' prospects for victory. Thom Hartman alluded to some new scandal that had broken but he wouldn’t elaborate being out of time. Johnny Wendell was a local fill-in for Randy Rhodes. He has a theory about why the democrats caved in to Bush. He says they didn’t want to be fingered for being against the war. In their minds the American people are still against a troop withdrawal and they believe the Republicans would have tarred them with that. Wendell believes like I do that Bush will never capitulate, but that in time Republicans will come to Bush and say “Our people are giving us hell when we return home on leaves; do something!” That is an interesting theory. The Democrats are playing “Rope a dope” with the Republicans leading them on into a trap. President Bush is so blind he won’t change his policies for anything.

I had Maurie Povitch on from 12:30 on. In soap land there has been a lot of action. John Black’s hand grasped Belle and wouldn’t let go. This is a sign. Willow is starting to become antagonistic again to the Bradys. Nick will either be manipulated by Willow or manipulated by Chelsea. Elvis Jr. intervened on Sammy and the baby’s behalf when Tony hinted that they “might just take the fetus in case they need to harvest any stem cells at a future date”. This has to be Sammy’s worst hell. On Passions many secrets were revealed. Julian now knows he’s not the father of little Ethan because Eve ran an DNA comparison both on Fox and on Little Ethan, but only Fox passed muster. Julian thinks Teresa knew all along. Sheridan set Luis and Fancy up just as they were about to make love in a hospital bed. Now Luis will be returned to his cell block to be beaten up. And Whitney and Teresa found out not only that Vince was gay but they came upon Vince and Chad making love in the back store room.

Derek Schleshenger is Laura’s son and is stationed in Afghanistan at the age of twenty-one. But he runs a sleazy web site the military made him take down. It had scenes of murder and rape of foreigners and forced oral sex with children at gun point, alledgidly. Laura’s son is a whacko. A real whacka-doodle. Perhaps because at the age of ten he had his “doodle” whacked so he could become an Orthodox Jew like his mother. The phrase “I am my kid’s mom” will never have the same meaning again. This combined with all the candid shots and sex stuff causes me to look at the Dr. Laura show with disgust. Her callers are reduced to the level of die hard groupies. Were I inclined to condone obscene E mails to celebrities, this would be a perfect opportunity for it.

I watched the soap operas. Claire can’t be dead because John Black came to Belle while she slept in a dream and told her that being dead himself, he would know if her daughter were among the dead, and she isn’t. Marlena and Bo are somewhat sympathetic to these rantings. Victor is opposed to the idea of Philip and Sean making peace. Tomy Di Mira has reentered the show and now is barking orders to Elvis Jr. and Samantha was kidnapped in a car after getting a bait letter. On Passions, Miguel pretty much has the idea that Kay is not going to divorce Fox and marry him. Whitney was summoned to that gay bar where she saw Vince and husband Chad in an embrace. Perhaps she can figure it out. Julian is now being sucked into the blackmailer’s scheme by a note demanding a DNA test for “your son”. Tomorrow promises to be a busy day.

Reggie the alligator who has been in that park lake for two years has been captured. Some old lady wasn’t happy about that. He was a tourist attraction. Reggie ventured out on to land and some people grabbed and muzzled him. He’ll be in quarenteen for ninety days and then Reggie will appear at the LA Zoo.

A twenty year old female driver ran down a seventy year old man in the crosswalk at high speed. She’ll be charged with manslaughter and felony hit and run. She was pursed by good Sameritans who tracked him down. There seems to be an increase in the news of “good citizens” collaring criminals. I would imagine people on My Space are more willing to report a sexual predator than before.

You know, Roy Masters talked of the dangers of the spirit of a boy’s mother entering into her son. The “Norman Bates” sidrone. This is what happened to Laura’s son Derek. I think it’s about time he had a name besides “the kid”. Perhaps you could do a horror movie called ironically, “A Mother’s Love”. Love is like oxygen. You get too much and it’s dangerous. Something about the feminine nature of the mother enters into the son and the son “protects” this “feminine nature” with any means, however violent. Derek had a slogan about dishing it out to people whether they deserve it or not.

"Turn off your mind, relax
and let us suck out your brain'
Is it not piety; is it not piety?

He who Surrenders to the Void
commits an act of Karmic Suicide
God himself can't even impose on you

"and ignorance and hate may mourn the dead"
"but I bet you don't know why?"

"Existance is not a game, existance is not a dry run;
It's the Real Thing

Is it Karmic Freefall or are you just

Dead in the water?

A couple of times I’ve had trouble pressing the button and having the computer stay on. This is Sunday morning June 20^th. I got back six cigarettes from Frank. When I got up I went out there and Frank sat at the table and I moved and when I was done Frank asked me for a cigarette. Meet the Press had a Bill Clinton debate. Perhaps he was honest about Monica, but what about Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Wanita Brodric, and Kathleen Willy? Clinton may be mad at Ken Starr but in point of fact he skated on Whitewater. He got away with that, and all the other offences he committed. Besides I don’t like him admitting guilt with that grinnish smile.

June 18^th. is Paul’s birthday. They played “Beautiful Boy” for Father’s Day like they said. They played “Valotte” by Julian Lennon. Static on KRTH and KOLA.

[three sensenses deleted] Mike made the “Hotel California” reference to this place. We had pancakes and sausage for breakfast. The lady was clearing away dishes at twenty two minutes to eight. She took away everything, including my coffee cup. They should wait till at least a quarter of to clear away dishes. Overcast weather.

Last night Patch Adams was on. It’s a good movie. I wish I had the courage and rise above my situation and serve humanity like he did. They don’t use patient names because that encourages “transference”. There’s no question we need a little joy and human contact in hospitals. Some times nurses can be jaded.

I watched the Jesus show this morning. Predestination came up as a topic. “Jesus” engaged in that fuzzy brain rationality in which he says “You have Free Will but God exists out of time and knows the future”. I ask “does a rat have Free Will?”. I suppose you could argue that it does, but if it’s been condition its actions are pretty predictable. And I ask you the question: Where is there the greatest contrast of intelligence? Between a human and a rat, or between God and a human? God not only knows a human better than a lab technician knows a rat, but he created every brain call in the rat. “Jesus” can talk about a “Choice” God offers a man. But if he’s really God he wont offer him any choice he can alter his future by. It can thus be said, “God can’t create anything he can alter the destiny of once it’s been set”. Obviously there are things God could do to manifest himself now that he is not doing, on planet earth. It dawned on me that under Calvinism it could be said “Belief in the resurrection of Christ will get you into heaven and lack of belief will send you to hell”, and it dawned on me that the fact of the resurrection needn’t be true, you just have to believe in it. Of course “Jesus” is throwing out scripture like Sodom and Gamorah where God said “Let us go down and see if it is as bad as word has come to me, and if not, I will know it”. Or God telling Abraham “Do not harm the lad, for NOW I know that you will not withhold your only son”. Or, “It’s not God’s will that any should perish”. Or the one about “It repented God that he had made mankind”. “Jesus” did have a point about predestination. It’s a manifestation of the space-time continuum. We have the illusion of moving through time when actually it’s already occurred. Jesus said of a man’s sin “Of course I am grieved when you do it”. But he should be just as grieved at a sin committed two hundred years by someone. Nothing takes Jesus by surprise. As I have said before this is disconcerting to me when the family looks at a failure to get a job or something and says, “I knew he’d fail”. But the strongest moral point where man has a beef with God is in the topic of prayer. For clearly God lied when he said “Be like the widow and the judge, pray without ceasing. Never give up hope”. In the case of the widow and the judge changing his mind would be difficult. When it comes to God, changing his mind is impossible, or as it is written “Is God a man that he should change his mind?” (Selah)

You know in my “prophecy” against [Pete Richards'] first marriage [edit] written the first few days of August 1971, [Pete] in retrospect didn’t have “free will” to alter it. So it came to pass. This is what I meant when I said that God isn’t going to give you any choice where it’s possible for you to decide something other that that which is predestined. This fuzzy brained thinking of KFI’s “Jesus” is going to tell on Christianity one day. It will be its undoing. Because people are getting smarter and one day the average person will bee what I plainly see. You can’t fight predestination. And with that illusion shattered, all the talk about “salvation” and “redemption” will go by the wayside.

Twenty after eleven and I’m overdue for a smoke break.

The Seventh Day had “Night Moves” by Bob Seeger. I was just thinking if they played the title song in heaven you’d have the response from people, “I remember, too” ”So do I –give us back our youth”. We had roast beef for dinner and it was nice and tender. I had seconds. Chocolate cake. I went to the store for cigarettes, coffee, and two cinnamon rolls. Glen just came by for his eighth cigarette.

“Jesus” this morning was a little nit picky about pre marital sex. A guy asked if he should boycott the wedding because they were already living together. He then said he didn’t think they were right for each other. That’s a very delicate subject to broach. If he turns out to be wrong all they’ll remember is he boycotted the wedding.
