Garbled in the Translation

Today is 11-121-13, but on 12-12-12 though a jinxy period for me, it was the day of that famous blow out All Stars of Rock Concert, and now they are releasing the Movie on Friday.   It's also the date in that one dream of mine I've referred to a couple of times about celebrating a Star in the sky that would get much brighter for a while on the night of December 12th and it would be celebrated.  It could be argued that the N U J V flag signals on that Beatles album, (i e, if seen in a mirror, because the Beatles are sneaky that way,) could be re-translated as "New Unknown Place Kicker".  OK, that one works, too.  Pink claimed that he has repeatedly tried to contact best friend Roger Waters, but "the message doesn't seem to be getting through".  FH said to pink that he (and I too) have gotten Beatle lyrics garbled.  For instance FH thought it was "A thousand pages, can you take a few" and also "as you drift past the flowers with a glow so incredibly high' and also "Newspaper taxis that pier on the shore".  Pink did confirm that the Beatles had thought of using the version of "I'm Only Sleeping" with the vibrophone.  FH asked Pink about some Beatle lyrics that appear to deal with things in (my) personal life, and Pink just said "We got the images and lyrics and we put them down that way.  We never thought what we did had to make sense or that we needed a reason for it)  Guess what?  Oh - - Actually it was Pink (Syd Barrett) talking to FH, an old Romulan friend of mine, and Pink and FH are more at ease talking to each other lately than Pink and I are.  Pink described me as "a little paranoid" and asked, "Is he always like that?"  And in Romulan of course semaphore images are backwards, which means they expect you to "flip flop" the image in your mind if seen face on, but if you are viewing from the back, the letters are seen the same.

Randy Rhodes says she’s going off the air, and she’s explaining right now at twenty to three about the executive decisions people have made.  The same people who supported her support Rush - - but Rush, as she tells it, was able to get other financial support but there is nothing like that on the left.  I know Mike Meloy “went on the internet” and now every time I tune into that I Tunes station all I get is baroque music- - and they never get back to the show.  Mike was good at reminding us of things like the Fucashima Power Plant and how that is a problem that isn’t going away.  Randy Rhodes going off the public air waves would be a major tragedy, but she’s going off on Friday December 13^th.   Now she’s saying “I told you so” when it comes to these product boycotts people were threatening to do.   It seems “the powers that be” are not satisfied with just controlling 95% of the air waves; they want them all.  “Should five percent appear too small - - be thankful I don’t take at all”, as George Harrison warned.

Johnny Wendell reminds us what a racket government is now.  Like in peace with foreign neighbors, you wouldn’t treat personal associates in your local world the way that the United States treats other nations.  You’d have combative chaos all of the time.  That’s the way the military arms dealers like it.  They make no profit from a peaceful accord.  Yesterday it would seem that some kind of a tentative deal was worked out with Iran by John Kerry just one day after we were told that all was lost.  You have to know the republicans hate news like that, and their media will do everything to surpress the story.  But of course you have this false idea that we are in a free market economy.  Not when the government props up farm prices and gives oil companies these huge subsedies so the alternative energy producers don’t get a foothold on the market sales.  They are too committed to pollution and denying the common man the right to sue in court.  Rick Perry again brought up the idea of “tort reform”, which seems to be big on any tea party agenda.  So you’ll have more cases of coal miners getting sick from black lung disease and nobody doing anything about it.  It would cost more money than any of those workers have to hire a lawyer and sue the coal mining companies.  But that’s America today.  Randy pointed out that these tea party people win rererendums and such on gun control because normal people can’t be bothered to get out and vote on an issue that doesn’t affect them personally, or something.

Once again I won’t dignify the soap opera plot by commenting on it since it was so demented.  But Jack Jr. successfully resisted a good chance to smoke the weed.  And Gabriel got this golden chance of a lifetime in modeling.  This side of Cinderella- - you won’t find a scenario like this in real life.  The closest thing I can compare it to was that guy in “Oh God, You Devil” who was offered this fantastic rock contract by the Devil.  When Gabriel heard that Cameron would be leaving town to pursue a dream, it got her to thinking of dreams of her own.  Don’t you know Will is just going to have a cow when Gabriel tells him.  I was listening for names to be called for Money Draw.   I went down there and looked things over and the money draw line had only three people if my luck held up.  It did.  In fact, one of the guys in front of me had to leave because Sarah had his folder.  I came in and Jennifer said I had $12.99 in my account so I decided that twelve dollars this week would be in order, so that’s what I asked for and got.  I told Jennifer it was warmer outside, even in this overcast, than it was in the building.  It was like some kind of a thermal inversion and Jennifer said “Sometimes at my house - - the cold air gets trapped inside the house”. If she says so.  I grabbed two candy bars and left.  I stood two people behind Lisha in line.  I got two cups of coffee from Dora, and then went to the store for cigarettes.  I haven’t decided on provisions for coffee yet. 

MAJOR REVAMP Alert:   What we said about Landa Scorpio - - is confusing, and it’s not even the right star.  The operative one and progenitor of the Arab people - - is Sargas or Theta Scorpio - - or the one at the lowest bend of the constellation.  The Sirius A people gave me the translation for Sargas as “lurking tiger” and it’s a combat guerilla term.  Just like in Stephen King novels - - the Tiger in Sirius symbology has an evil connotation - - as a stealth betrayer.  (Kind of like Christine Di Mira)  New information has it that over four thousand years ago, the Ionians gave the Sargans secret advanced technology to protect them from their fellow Scorpio beastie brothers.  It’s unknown whether the words “Terah” in the Bible and “terra” as in Earth, have any connection.  But here is more information in Landa anyhow.  In the Sirius alphabet the symbol is Landa is the “F” sound, but it’s more of that german “v” f sound.   When one makes the semaphore symbol of the “L” it means “onward and upward”.   By the way the “waving flags” symbol or getting someone’s attention is also used- - - but symbolically it’s a “Yes” that is in jeopardy and it means “Wait a minute”.  This Invites the question of why the 'U" for Yes and not Y.  That's because the English "U" letter is printed like a "V" just like the semaphore symbol.  As to the Landa Star - - this is one of two bright stars on the Scorpion's tail and are the singers.  It’s the second brightest star in the constellation so how it got its “L” designation is beyond me.  The name is Shaula, and apparently there is a Latina celebrity named Shaula Vega or something, if Gabriel is listening.  One source has it as the 21^st brightest star in the sky and another had it pegged at the 24^th.  Viewed from Sirius A- - you’d have to advance it a notch, if you count our own earth Sun as a star, because our Sun is puny compared to this giant of negative 2,8 absolute magnitude or something.  I think our son ranks over a four point positive absolute magnitude, and in this case higher numbers are dimmer.  I’m terribly sorry for the confusion - - but I guess sometimes things get garbled in the translation.

The Veterans Day celebration seemed somehow muted this year.  I went down early at ten after eleven and the doors were already open.  One thing highly a-typical is that we didn’t have to wait anything close to a half hour to get our food, like to most often do on these “party” days.  There was minimal singing.  There were some brief words to honor our Vets- - and J W said he was in both Korea and in Viet Nam.  He’s have to be in his eighties to have served in the Viet Nam war and he looks nowhere near that old.  David’s speech was OK - - but I wonder if it was a “fo-pah” to praise President Obama.  Some of the tea party set may resent mentioning how great America is in the same sentence referring to “That Black man in the white house”.  Somebody else gave a speech and they talked about troops sacrificing for America, which is still a land of - - freedom?  And there seemed to be a question mark.  That’s the problem these celebrations have now.  Because the same people who have traditional honored our troops are the same ones who have been trashing America as a whole these last five years.   We had sweet and sour meat balls with rice and broccoli.   I had reduced seconds.  We had raspberry ice cream for dessert.  Coffee was the last thing to be served.   Then it was time for Randy Rhodes.  That was a sickening program.  She spent much of the hour talking about injuries and surgery performed on men’s genitals - - and how many are “total losses” and necrosis - - and IED’s and all that.  But the elephant in the room that nobody talks about today- - is just how sick this whole notion of continual war in America is.  It’s a sick and sad fact, but true- - that virtually no trooper, no matter now brave or well intensioned- - had died for a noble cause in the past forty years, because each and every one of our wars have been wars of aggression.   I think we even had a treaty NOT to go to war with Iraq in 1991 and we disregarded it.  We “changed our mind” just like John Boehner did with Obama last August on the budget deal.    And the second Iraq War and this war in Afghanistan are both completely beyond the pale.  To the extent that now many such as Pat Buchannon say that if we should send weapons now, it should be for the Other Side!  Afghanistan is worse- - and it seems that some of the worst injuries to our troops has come from that war.   I have absolutely no idea why Obama didn’t pull out of Afghanistan the minute we captured and killed Bin Laden.
