An interesting look into the political landscape in Israel as the election approachs. In this video, released by the Netanyahu campaign, a carload of terrorists stop a random carload of Israelis and ask the way to Jerusalem. “Take the left” was the reply, implying that the progressive side is easy on terrorism. Cute and pithy, eh?
There has been an inversion of values. The old “my body is a temple” coercian shares a common pulse with Liberal DooGooders-or-else” bunch hangin a the juice bar. We have prolonged life but have not prolonged the quality of longer lives. We have killed God but not our fear of death. Some gobble hormones and powerwalk, diet tours, hi colonics, and copper bracelets we appear as desperate “also rans” in the race for immortality. We have increased the misery that is in the world exponentially as the aged lose what defines life. Eyesight fades, taste goes flat, touch becomes numb, music reduced to a dull thud as hearing fades. And the length of life is increased. We now are growing gardens of retarded decay. We have delayed death but not decrepitude. But now we have Gardens of decay in our midst. We have replaced heaven with oblivion and it just feels “uncomfortable”. So now the health industry, a multi-billion dollar quality/quantity industry takes the place of a life dedicted to following religious principles.
The death cult of Islam, on the other hand, will kill on a whim. And it isn’t the killing that troubles Islam. Pleasure and the regulation of pleasure is the very core of Islam. In a culture with the ethos of the “Id” the fine tuning required for a mutually equitable partnership is a source of consternation. Conflict with self is deadly to a warrior. So control must be absolute. A crack is as good as abyss to a Bedouin, caravan raider like Mo. Like all,despots, when, he died there was a fight for control of the gang (Ref. Christining scene from Godfather 1) .
Christ lived and died a pauper, unlike Mo, he didn’t insist on dying with the biggest pile of toys, the most poontang and high score on kills and thrills in a the beheading dept. When this quaint little cult remained roaming the sands of the Sahara or some centuries later a backwater in Malaysia, no harm done. They could treat their own population like they wanted. to, after all they were “different” than us. It just didn’t seem as bad.
Now the little Bedouin religion that could is in conflict with the civilized world. They are set upon from every quarter by information. Information, is poisonous to bad religion. Information is often unwelcome in the inflexible systems of beliefs. Christianty has shown flexibility. As the foundations of society evolve so has Christianity evolved, at varying rates of course and in different ways. Now the gadfly question lies in finding out where the boundaries should be held firm or adjusted. How accommodating can a religion be before it loses it’s original identity?
For Islam, there are quite a few who believe they should uphold 7th century standards at all costs. There is the rub. As a psychologist, and most painfully, as a father of five daughters, I have experience with the politics of power in relatiomships. A system threatened by influence from without becomes rigid and sensitive to every indication of individual thinking. Behaviours that in times of less threat would offer no aggravation now are smitten down with an iron hand. Control on all fronts is the issue. Such micromanaging of behavior is a sure sign of a threatened reqime. An Islam threatened chops heads off for firing up. They see smoking a cigarette as far worse than beheading the smoker? Sumthin’ is wrong here.
A Move happens in the next few weeks. An actual geographic movement. During this time of change I hope to keep the blog current and relevant with standards as high as I can provide. Until now I have had the luxury of a relatively stable environment. Henceforth only fate can divine. So I wil be the Guerrilla Blogger, a hit and run sociopolitical plague upon the house of complacency,
;I will do my best to post daily
WOW ! Quite the shocker for me. I have never been of the impression that the Springs has such a problem. I wonder if the large number of military bases surrounding Colorado Springs has something to do with it. (Don’t jump to assumptions about me, I am alluding to how military arrests affect the stats of the municipality etc. ) And I have a strong suspicion that legislation has something to do with it. Categorization of rape, sexual assault etc. have different dimensions in different venues. In other words I must research and study the information. See ya later…
When is a lie a lie?
It is comforting to hear the truth occasionaly.
Such a revelation begs the question, “What took them so long?” 1400 years and you just now think of attacking the pope. Of course he IS a harder target than a day care center or a crowded bus.
Kanye West Bullies the Grammies
He must have been a real peach of a kid once.
While discussing Anny Lennox’s performance of “I put a Spell on You”, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was hit upon and I showed my 18 yar old the version with bones through his nose and about his neck. I happened upon his Saturday Night Live performance as well. I include here his bone-free version on the Merve Griffen Show. My daughter commented that you could never broadcast such obviously racist material today. She was right. But we were a little more thick skinned then.
Sadly it appears we are in a nation that has gotten worse rather than better.
Here is another rather odd performance by Jay Hawkins in which his piano skills are showcased.
It seems,sometimes, that we are a land that sees no common future for us. Nothing to strive for. So quick to bruise and retaliate. So reluctant to believe in the common experience of just being human in the same world.
Dogged by the feeling, where is the tipping point? When will the need to act overwhelm the need for P.C. perfection.
“A funny thing happened on the way to Jihad…”
Brussels sprouts…..Muslims at an anti-cartoon rally in Grozny .
The decisions of the parents are visited upon the children. Europe, once basking in the revenue of cheep immigrant labor, now is crushed beneath an ocean of welfare receiving Muslims. America, for other, more altruistic reasons, faces the same future as Europe.
The real history of science is a series of corrections to previous paradigms. History is spewing out true-believers at a cosmic rate. Ask Newton ten minutes before Einstien “got it” on relativity. New theorists wander the land like gunslingers. Looking to put the old hand down to gain their own reputation. In other words “go tell the Quantum Boys.” about Einstein’s theory.
A look into the coverage received by the “main stream media” (henceforth, MSM) will be interesting. One wonders whether this story has legs or will be sacrificed to media infanticide by the high Priests of Editorial discretion. Editorial discretion is interchangeable with editorial “selection.” An embarrassingly liberal slant has taken hold of most major information networks and entertainment industries. American left holds sway over the images and icons of Hollywood, Broadway, etc.. Until American conservatives get cool or so heavy with gravitas as to beguile the youth away from blind idealism, (Big “yeah right” on that one) they will know limited political succcsess.
that is kinda interesting. If you wrote this story into a movie nobody would believe it.
If they release some security tapes I want to see them!
……..albeit those of primae facia treason, does not impart any proof of culpability. And at the risk of appearing to play that old game of gotcha that I so dispise in political discourse, I am going to point out an orgy of evidence. But. There of course is a but. It’s my blog. I can but if I want to. But when there is a prevailing pattern that waddles about utterly obese with meaning, something more than another nit-pick has occurred. POTUS has baited the right by glad-handing the Muslims since his first inauguration. From the apology tour tll now there has been an unbroken script of appeasement and apology on behalf of Muslims.. This is just another act in the Aplology Tour melodrama that marked his first year in the office.
Infiltration of the west and the ruination of the west from “within its own miserable house…” has always been the figurehead of the not – so – good – ship “Muslim Brotherhood”.
It is told that the vampire cannot step across the threshold unless invited in to by the master of the house.
Infiltrate? They are already here. The Brother hood is tied in with the Muslim student groups since there inception.
Quietly? When I see a child with downcast eyes, or a pup with lowered head skulking away, I know that they know, they are guilty.
