Some Remote Pile of Rubble

Misanthropy is the general hatred, distrust or disdain of the human species or human nature. It should be noted that this doesn't preclude one from enjoying the company of and even dare I say it, loving individuals. That being said, one of the worst kept secrets in the world is that India and Pakistan, "two enemies that have already fought three wars since 1947", are staging a trial war zone in Kashmir.

Westerners should be pay more attention to this rarely reported upon "Kashmiri Independence" conflict because this remote pile of rocks in South Asia would seem to be the most likely and strategically convenient (as far away from "us" as possible)  location for modern humans to try a limited nuclear weapons exchange and see what happens? Let's face it, BIG Oil and it's military subsidiaries won't ever risk entombing all of the precious, Middle Eastern oil under a desert vaporized into a sea of glass.

Many corporatized military analysts are whispering fanciful notions into the ears of lobby-fed politicians and CEOs detailing epic scenarios of how poor, innocent, Western (Corporations) Civilization would prevail by overcoming the tribulations thrust upon them by some senseless, reckless, selfish, Indo-Pakistani conflict and its subsequent global Nuclear Winter...talk about not only eliminating the competition in the global marketplace, but also enjoying a judgement-free alibi, and positive exposure to some very exciting marketing and future brand building opportunities.

But there is more to this world than money, politics, and religion, and one cannot ignore the dark side in this equation because not only could the secular side of the Powers That Be sell this as a "wasn't-our-fault" war to it's constituents, but the One True church would also gently dismiss any responsibility for the hell-bound plight of those poor, godforsaken, Asians because technically most of the 2.5 Billion souls were non-believers; Hindu-Indians, Muslim-Pakistanis, and worst of all, I mean most tragic, those collaterally damaged Chinese were Atheists!

Modern heathens tend to forget that "many here among us" believe that the New (Christian) World is not only God's favorite part of the entire universe, but it is also the very zenith and purpose of human history in its entirety. Therefore it stands to reason that The West would inherit the toasty warm, freshly vacated, soil of the "New 'Old' World" after it was "left behind", as the inevitable reward of some providential manifestation of Destiny.

I'm pretty sure that he'd say no but....

IT's A MAN's WORLD AFTERALL

COME ON ALL OF YOU 52%ers!

No, really!? Q: If vertebrates are naturally formed as default females, then why-on-Earth do most people think that that a/the "Creator" would A: be a male and B: make this a "Man's World" ?

Obviously our human world is totally out of whack, so does it not stand to reason that this cruel mess is NOT the way it should, would or could be?



Since forever, males have over-stepped the natural order of things through sheer physical force and more recently, by perpetuating a various supernatural decrees which imply that having a wenis entitles them to run the show and make up all of the rules for females?

This observation presents several painfully obvious conclusions, the most egregious of which are, well,  painfully obvious.

GRAPEVINE GOSPEL

Do you know what I don't understand?

Why on earth would (insert personal deity of choice here) decide to only tell one dude about all of his rules & regulations, and then expect everybody else to know exactly what he said to that guy?

No, really?!
Why not just tell everyone at the same time?

That way, nobody could make up any weird sh*t about food and clothes and blowing yourself up.

Just sayin'.

DRAWING TO CONCLUSIONS

This was bound to happen.




I am deeply saddened and troubled that the silent majority of moderate Muslims seem to have been bullied into submission. It is sadly ironic that Islam means "one who submits" because Islam seems to have been successfully hijacked by the extremists.

The result of their failure to unite, intervene, and organise a rescue of their Faith, has led to a potential catastrophe for all of us. 

Most of us have Muslim friends who are as horrified of these violent Theocratists as you or I. Unfortunately the collision of the free modern world and these radical politico-religious opportunists (Islamists) and their frenzied frightful mobs of uninformed envious zealots, is set to erupt.


The patience of moderate everyday citizens has been stretched to the limit. It is frustratingly ironic that these revolutionaries cannot even comprehend WHY they are allowed to spew their hatred in the streets. They have abused their privileges far beyond any reasonable expectation of tolerance.


So here we are astride a ticking time bomb..
one bullet away from releasing a tsunamic surge of years and years of percolating resentment and frustration.

If the New World is so horrible then why come..
and even more baffling, why attempt to impose these 7th Century dogmatic restrictions upon the infidels? Why must they destroy the system which at some point in time must have held some allure?


This is not about Religious Freedom and cultural tolerance. It is a real attempt to insitute a new global Caliphate...
which is being sponsored by many of the West's so-called 'Oil'lies in the Middle East.


A conflict of this magnitude will bring our world to it's knees...and all for what?

I've always hoped that we would never have to witness another World War...
and this one would almost certainly involve limited Nuclear strikes because some of these nimrods live in countries which unfortunately stockpile these monstrous weapons..


Bullys always look for signs of weakness...
these instigators view tolerance and patience as weakness...
they have made an egregious miscalculation.

Standing up to a bully is not the same as turning the other cheek and even a very small animal can become vicious and dangerous when they are backed into a corner.


I don't know about you but I am genuinely scared of what may come of this.


The narrator of this video is right, that FREEDOM is non-negotiable. However inciting these activists is a recipe for disaster..
perhaps this confrontation is a calculated risk worth taking, maybe even a neccessity?

The West is responsible for letting it get this out of hand. From the getgo we were caught off guard ...
because historically the majority of our new citizens were Caucasian Christians of various denominations who, for the most part, left their native lands to escape Millenia of this exact sort of religious strife and political conflict. We just expected foreigners to make adjustments to fit in. We were lazy.


What also helped was the fact that we were largely unaware, or even interested for that matter, as to what other Earthlings were doing beyond our borders..
especially on the other side of the world.

Now we live in a 24/7 instant newsfed world and little escapes our attention. Most of the Good Neighbour fences have been dismantled. We're all living on top of each other and it's too much for us.


Our species is naturally clannish and wary of others. Somehow after millions were slaughtered in territorial and economical wars, we managed to adjust our perspective...mainly because most of us accepted the golden rules.

You do your thing and I'll do mine as long we understand that it's a two-way street.

Were we living in a totally secular world, impossible but worth aiming for, we'd certainly find other things to squabble about and kill each other.

That being said the Islamists on deck don't care about living in this world. Securing a new address in their imaginary supernatural destination would be a vast improvement on their present circumstances...
which of course they blame on the West.
 
I don't profess to have any valid solutions other than instigating measures to take a global time out and let cooler heads prevail.
Whatever we're doing now is not going to work in the long run.

At some point I suppose a declaration of expectations at the Immigration Office should become mandatory. Do whatever you like on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, if you must, and leave the supernatural out of the day to day.

We already have enough global obstacles to combat and secure our survival without all of the manmade cosmological add-ons.

NO THUGS IN OUR HOUSE

UGH

This country functions and flourishes BECAUSE it is designed to function WITHOUT perpetuating the traditional irrational violent religious rivalries fueled by sociopathic zealots who fuel hatred, prejudice, cruelty, and intolerance.


These antiquated practices haunt the Old World and history has shown that it led to nothing but an endless cycle of war. Millions of men, women and children were needlessly tortured and murdered for thousands of years. An insane inexcusable unforgivable waste of human life.

It is one thing for citizens to practice and promote the peaceful positive aspects of their belief system. 
If however, the radical fringe elements intent is to bully others into submission, demand exclusive rights, or threaten anyone else with their own self-serving brand of insane supernatural delusions of grandeur, the f*cking airport is thataway..we'll even pay your airfare....
and don't come back..
ever..no, not even for a visit.

We tippy-toe around the political correctness ..ooh better not hurt the feelings of people honoring assassins in blatant contradiction to the Law?
Sadly this is a charade and not about forming another "Stan" country, it's about a few assholes trying to gain control of power and money on a local level..
the whole liberation-theology fascade is a cover.

Fortunately the lure of the decadent West and an education based on empirical science will release the majority of the next generation from the mind control of the militants.

UGH!!!

A CLERICAL ERROR !!
"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi.

I titally support this cause

EVILution
Only 39% of Americans believe in Evilution!

In a recent Gallop poll , 25% admitted that they do NOT believe in Evolution.

Even more baffling is that 36% don't even have an opinion...1% don't know if they have an opinion! 

Only about half of Americans aged 18 to 34 say they believe in evolution.

(I added the quip but props to Propps)

The pollster summarized these findings with this stunning revelation;
"Americans' religious beliefs are a significant predictor of their attitudes toward Darwin's theory!"

Ya think?

"There is a strong relationship between education and belief in Darwin's theory, as might be expected, ranging from 21% of those with high-school educations or less,

 to 74% of those with postgraduate degrees."

The Good News for Modern Man is that 55% of Americans believe in "the Rapture," 

so before our world ends, those who denounce Darwinsky, will be spared and mysteriously taken up to Heaven in the blink of an eye.

I am presuming that after "the Rapture",  
the stats for the 36 percenters without an opinion on Evolution, will dramatically decrease.
Those poor "left behinders" will be much too busy looting the vacant homes and bank accounts of the Faithful to answer stupid surveys on Evilution.

WHY IS YESHUA'S BIRTHDAY A MYTHTERY?

Hmm, have you ever wondered why people celebrate Yeshua ben Yosuf's birthday in the middle of freakin' winter?

Call me crazy, but if you're planning to convince others that the turning point in the history of the entire universe was the miracle birth of a saviour, not only would it be the worst kept secret of all time, it would have probably been a good idea for someone to write down the actual day..
just sayin'?

Anyhoo, Yeshua's actual birthdate is as unknowable as the reason he waited in outer space during the millions of years of human evolution?
It's almost as if he spun the Earth, closed his eyes, and decided to drop in wherever his finger landed.

The best historical and scholarly guesstimaters tell us that Yeshua was prolly born in Nazareth, not Bethlehem, during April in the year 5 B.C. (Before Christ)..Got that?

December seems totally goofy because Yeshua prolly wasn't born after Rosh Hashana, which falls at different times during our "Julian" September because in Israel,  this is when the flocks came down out of the pastures and mountains and stayed in stables.

C'mon, you remember the quaint part of the story aboot the Shepherds who were out pretending to watch their flocks by night. The shepherds were totally amazed when an angel appeared before them and said Fear not, for I bring you great tidings of glad joy!

Here is my conception of what Glad Joy and her "great tidings" may have looked like.

Unfortunately, we're stuck with December 25th because of Constantine the Grrrrrreat!
aka Caesar-Flavius-Valerius-Aurelius-Constantinus-Augustus, who became sole ruler of  the Holey Roman Empire in 323.

Constantine's half-assed conversion to Christianity is debated by many scholars, however, he selected December 25th to celebrate Christmas because

A: it was a very calculated, politically-astute, manouever to circumvent Sol Invictus and overshadow the weeklong celebrations of Christianity's main rival,  Mithraism.
Along with their own pantheon of Roman Gods which they pretty much stole from the Greeks, the Romans had also enjoyed a long standing worhsip of Mithras, the Persian Sun god...
so basically just changing Sun to Son geddit?

B: plus the week ending Dec. 24 was the celebration of Saturnalia, which also wasn't very appropriate for baby Yeshua's birthday party due to the drunken debauchery and fertility rites which must have been super fun.

In closing we need to remember that Constantine 1 the Great is also famous for  
>being a Christian Saint and revered for his contributions to Christianity
>feeding defeated kings and their soldiers to the beasts in the amphitheater,
>decapitating and parading the head of rival Maxentius before sending it off to warn the "haters",
>poisoning his eldest son Crispus,
>and having his wife, the Empress Fausta, boiled to death at the request of his mother.

What a guy!
I hope that his helps.

Zex, Deutsche und AIDs are stealing the Nachrichtenschlagzeilen

(News Headlines)

Hmm? I'm experiencing one of those synchronicital confluence of events thingamabobs. As I perused the headlines of the Guardian it was all Sex, AIDs & Germans!

First off, Ardi, a 4 million-year-old bipedal ancestor has been discovered in Africa. The female's vajayjay must have begun it's transition to the anterior region, at a glacial pace, to accomodate the discovery of the missionary position, which presumably strengthened pair bonding...

which still needs a little tweaking.

Speaking of missionary positions, the next article that caught my eye laments the politically correct assertion that governments need to make a fuss over the current German Pope.

Then it was back to sex and the publication of a book that suggests that there are 237 reasons why women have sex.

If Dr. Ruth had zaid ziss mitt her cute German ahkzent I might have believed it.

Throughout history men have been wanking...I mean wracking, their brains out trying to understand why it's such a big deal.

Even Julius Caesar had to listen to Cleopatra's pathetic excuse, "Not tonight I'm having my pyramid".

Well no more excuses Ladies..now we can give you more than 237 good reasons..HA!

Now nobody wants to think that Hitler had a little head..ugh!

We all know that Hilter had a hole in his head, however now a story states that his skull was too small and actually belonged to a young female?

So maybe he got a little head before he fled?

Warning graphic content!

Finally, a German AIDs advert on the telly is causing a stir for using a Hitlerian look-a-like making out mitt a Mädchen and gropin' her großen titz! Eeew!

We certainly don't get to see ads like this in the Colonies! At first I was aroused and then I was furious. My suspension of disbelief could not be activated because other than being drunk at a Hallowe'en party or a hooker working a white supremicist convention in Vegas,

how could any woman make out with a dude that looked like Hitler?

pfft!

So there you have it, Germans, Zex and AIDs.

STICKIN' IT TO THE MAN

Yesterday, for the first time this Summer, I went to the Beach.

When one goes to "the Beach" the idea is to clear your head and not think about anything right? Wrong! When you live in an environment that is f-f-freezing for 7 months of the year you enjoy every second...

especially this Summer because it rains every second day?

There is a Thuderstorm happening as I write.

Plus we had to prove to a visitor from Switzerland that Grand Beach is one of the top 10 Beaches in the world, (according to a Playboy article in the 70s see my Post JULY 6, 2006 ...so nyeh!) and it is only a one hour drive from our back door.

The Beach is a unique environment to contemplate the complicated relationship between the genders. For some time now I have been wondering why Males have been allowed to take over the world.

Most of you know that I go on and on and on about how vertebrates are formed as default females, ergo males are mutants, and that it therefore stands to reason, that a Creator, should one exist, would be a nurturing feminine entity rather than an insecure masculine moron right?

Have any of you ever come across The Alphabet versus the Goddess?

Have a lash HERE .

Leonard Schlain did a lot of the mental heavy lifting and organised a timeline that follows the ascent of Humans and deals with genderfication issues. Take a moment and read it...very interesting.

He starts out discussing the consequences of us eating more meat on the African Savannah, the demands of a lengthy infant development period, left brain-right brain wiring, language vs imagery.

This goes a long way in explaining the historical adaptations which led to us living in a completely f*cked up world in which the dominant males muck about posturing, threatening, and actually inflicting carnage on each other.

Males are simply incapable of turning the WAR button off.

Instead of a world where everybody is fed, housed, and educated, most of the planet's resources are used to create Weapons of Mass Destruction and it totally SUCKS!

Back to the GODDESS"

BADLANDS:
COWBOYS, BIKERS & SOLDIERS

I have just returned from a 3,000 kilometre made-in-America vacation in the Merkin' Heartland.

South Dakotee is Cowboy/Biker/Soldier Country..

the Badlands Baby!

Cowboy Hats n' Boots are ever'where and there is more folks drivin' pickup Trucks than city slickers drivin' cars.

At this time of year there are also more motorcycles on the highway than cars because 500,000+ Bikers are on the road makin' their way from Sturgis.

The average age of those Bikers is about 58-60 years old so you might want to rethink holding on to your Harley Davidson Stock?



Most of them are just "Riders" not Gangster Outlaw Bikers. Most of them drag their wives along. These so-called Bikers are just regular joes most retired... old dudes who love motorcyclin' up and down through the beautiful, scenic, winding roads...without Helmets!?

America is not hip to the term "Donorcycles".



The third Demographic are the thousands of Military Personnel both active and retired who are dressed in their civvies and disguised as regular citizens.

We attended a sunset presentation in the ampitheatre at the base of Mount_Rushmore. It was a patriotic event with a short film on the four Presidents and a propaganda fueled pep rally that reinstated the mythic proposition that America is mankind's BEST last hope.

After the Scree-ning of the film in front of the rubble of Rushmore (ha-ha) all the Veterans in attendance were asked to come on to the stage. There were literally hundreds of active and retired soldiers in the audience...we just don't have that sort of enlistment ratio up here in Canuckistan.



With the exception of folks living in countries that have been invaded, I mean rescued, by US Armed Forces, most of us foreigners spend so much time gorging on American Entertainment, that we forget about the trillion$ and pickle-dillion$ spent on the most expensive/powerful Military force ever created in the entire History of the known Universe.

Everywhere you turn the ubiquitous icons of Uncle Sam (Flags & Eagles) are on Billboards, napkins, doo-dads and what-nots.
I know I know, as Homer Simpson said, "if you don't like it you can move back to Russia!" Keep in mind that Homer was created by a Canadian who is a descendent of a Russian-Mennonite heritage no less...eh.

I also discovered why the American EEKonomy is still so vulnerable.

Local restaurants still gladly accept personal cheques..

which they spell "checks" ..

and many would NOT accept them-thar fancy-schmancy electronic "credee" cards.
Hel-LO!

Whatever.

I loved the friendly folks and rustic ambience throughout the entire 'touristy' area. I gladly wore my Cowboy Boots & Hat and lived on cheap Steak, Beer & Pie.




I thoroughly enjoyed sayin' "Yup" and "Yessir" and basked in the glowing comfort of an old, lost, friend, Farenheit.

Yes I was in Junior High School when Canada mysteriously "went Metric" back in '70/'71 so I remember how "hat" 87 degrees is. It even sounds Hot! I miss Faren.

I also appreciated drivin' 140 kilometres per hour (please don't pronounce it kill-AH-mutters) on those great Merkin highways. Down there you drive like you're goin' somewhere!

In Canada we can only go 100 KPH (kanadian miles per hour) unless of course you're from Alberta, in which case you are closer to bein' American than Canadian and you drive 140 kph wherever you go anyway...

yeah yeah bring it Albertans..

actually we met some total redneck Albertans down there and I am still in shock.

Now despite the existance of Billboards along the highway encouraging parents to HUNT WITH YOUR CHILDREN and WEAR FUR, MANAGE WILDLIFE, there were plenty of "unshot" Critters to photograph in the safety of their State and National Parks.

These reptile photos were taken in the famous Reptile Gardens.

Despite warning signs everywhere, I didn't see any Rattlesnakes slithering around the Badlands.

Along the roads there are plenty of Billboards to remind you that America is a Christian country and pictures of Jesus, especially the popular uber-white, orangy-haired, W.A.S.P.y, wafer-thin, King James, American greeting card version of Jesus.

I wondered how many others at the Rushmore "Pep Rally" realised that the agnostic President on Rushmore, Tommy Jefferson, who wrote the Constitution, understood that their key to success was the separation of the State FROM the Church?

Still, what can you say about the only Superpower on the planet (oh sure they owe China $800 Billion but whatareyagonnado?)..

gawdammit this is the heartland and doggonit they love their country.

I was a guest (Canadians now need passports to get in which sucks) and I acted accordingly. Most Americans were very curious about our Universal Healthcare.

If you've watched the Merkin News (not FOX) lately you may have noticed that the bi-partisan spin doctors are up to their old tricks again and President Obama's honeymoon is definitely over.

Americans seem torn between adhering to the principles of rugged individualism and self sufficiency and hoping that Manifest Destiny providentially providing Healthcare. There are more un-insured American citizens than the entire population of Canada.

One feller from Chicago apologised for the passport thing and said that the Republicans were more concerned of the 20 million Mexicans who snuck into the country through the Southern border.

The Republicans are terrified because all of those immigrants are future Democrats and if they get status, there would never-ever-ever-ever be another Republican President.... EVER!!!


:)

OK, I'm just going to ramble on because I haven't blogged for ages and more importantly, I should just shut my piehole because what the hell do I know?

I 'm only an outsider lookin' in.

POST-POSTING HISTORY



It's Summer so I am totally oot & aboot.
You know how I love History..so I dragged everyone off to another Museum last week.



Have a lash and hopefully you will learn something new about the past :)



I remember watching this come down.

One of my bona fide History-in-the-making experiences.

I would place it along with watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, the ethereal horror of 9/11, Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon (so-fake), the 1st Gulf War (video game), and the LA Police chasing OJ Simpson in the White Bronco.
