Life in Yucatan

the damn stifling heat, this illness, the insomnia it is causing me, the constant coughing, and LORD HAVE MERCY, the mosquitoes---mosquitoes everywhere: Kamikazes, some transvestites with bells on, some Cossacks on a rampage against the gypsies, others leading Gay Pride parades, and others propositioning me for a quick BJ, while others going BM on me, but they are all the same blood-thirsty, vicious, lewd and obscene Mosquitoes we all know and love.
In spite of the relative ease of my work, I am working under some of the worst work-place conditions, and that is what makes it all very difficult.

things weren't what they appeared to be

We all have visions of that memory lane--but realistically, hardly anyone I know really walked that path. I grew up with plenty of disfunction and unhappiness wrapped in a lovely home and trimmings. It didn't make us happy. My parents played a game of who could out-cheat who. My mother was a beauty--only 18 years old when she married. My father was the kind of psychological misery, driving her away to find an easing of her pain elsewhere. I remember ''Leave It To Beaver'' and ''Father Knows Best.'' But that wasn't happening in my home. I suspect it wasn't happening with a lot of people. Those were fantasies at their best. And finally, by the 1960's that bubble burst and reality set in. People stopped pretending they were happy when they weren't.
So don't feel too bad--your misery--although horrible--wasn't the only misery around. People hid it better, there was no mass communication like today, people wouldn't dare talk about it on national television--cheating, beating, etc. Today we all know what misery is about--and that it's not an isolated situation.

a walk down memory lane

HEY, WASN'T THAT US ?

A little house with three bedrooms and one car on the street.
A mower that you had to push to make the grass look neat.


In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone,
And no need for recording things, someone was always home.


We only had a living room where we would congregate,
Unless it was at mealtime in the kitchen where we ate.


We had no need for family rooms or extra rooms to dine,
When meeting as a family those two rooms would work out fine.


We only had one TV set, and channels maybe two,
But always there was one of them with something worth the view.

For snacks we had potato chips that tasted like a chip,
And if you wanted flavor there was Lipton's onion dip.


Store-bought snacks were rare because my mother liked to cook,
And nothing can compare to snacks in Betty Crocker's book.

Weekends were for family trips or staying home to play,
We all did things together -- even go to church to pray.


When we did our weekend trips depending on the weather,
No one stayed at home because we liked to be together.


Sometimes we would separate to do things on our own,
But we knew where the others were without our own cell phone.

Then there were the movies with your favorite movie star,
And nothing can compare to watching movies in your car.


Then there were the picnics at the peak of summer season,
Pack a lunch and find some trees and never need a reason.


Get a baseball game together with all the friends you know,
Have real action playing ball -- and no game video.


Remember when the doctor used to be the family friend,
And didn't need insurance or a lawyer to defend?

The way that he took care of you or what he had to do,
Because he took an oath and strived to do the best for you.

Remember going to the store and shopping casually,
And when you went to pay for it you used your own money?


Nothing that you had to swipe or punch in some amount,
Remember when the cashier person had to really count?


The milkman used to go from door to door,
And it was just a few cents more than going to the store.


There was a time when mailed letters came right to your door,
Without a lot of junk mail ads sent out by every store.

The mailman knew each house by name and knew where it was sent;
There were not loads of mail addressed to "present occupant."


There was a time when just one glance was all that it would take,
And you would know the kind of car, the model and the make.


They didn't look like turtles trying to squeeze out every mile;
They were streamlined, white walls, fins, and really had some style.



One time the music that you played whenever you would jive,
Was from a vinyl, big-holed record called a forty-five.


The record player had a post to keep them all in line,
And then the records would drop down and play one at a time.


Oh sure, we had our problems then, just like we do today,
And always we were striving, trying for a better way.

Oh, the simple life we lived still seems like so much fun,
How can you explain a game, just kick the can and run?


And why would boys put baseball cards between bicycle spokes,
And for a nickel red machines had little bottled Cokes?


This life seemed so much easier and slower in some ways,
I love the new technology but I sure miss those days.

So time moves on and so do we, and nothing stays the same,
But I sure love to reminisce and walk down memory lane.

something to think about

In one of the most learned and elaborate works that antiquity has left us, the Thirty-second Chapter of the Twelfth Book of his Evangelical Preparation bears for its title this scandalous Proposition,
"How it may be lawful and fitting to use falsehood as a medicine, and for the benefit of those who want to be deceived." (P 356, Edit. Graec. Rob. Stephani, Paris 1544.)
In this chapter he alleges a passage of Plato, which approves the occasional practice of pious and salutary frauds; nor is Eusebius ashamed to justify the sentiments of the Athenian philosopher by the example of the sacred writers of the Old Testament.

America is my goal--random thoughts

"Who will ever be found guilty," exclaimed the vehement Delphidius, "if it be enough to deny?" "And who," replied Julian, "will ever be innocent, if it is sufficient to affirm?"

Absence does make some hearts grow fonder, right?
Is America your goal?
It is mine!
Start singing "I want to be in America" and maybe it will happen! It's chilly here--especially for April. It's the best sleeping weather. I love it!


Could I abandon the unhappy subjects intrusted to my care? Were we not called upon to defend the helpless children of anger from the repeated injuries of these unfeeling robbers?
if, in the hour of danger, I myself neglected a duty far more sacred and far more important?
God has placed me in this elevated post; his providence will guard and support me. Should I be condemned to suffer, I shall derive comfort from the testimony of a pure and upright conscience.'' Would to Heaven that I still possessed a counsellor like Sallust !'' ~ JULIAN
'' If they think proper to send me a successor, I shall submit without reluctance; and had much rather improve the short opportunity of doing good, than enjoy. a long and lasting impunity of evil.''

Oh God, I am fighting back the tears of anger, and of nostalgia for America as I write!
But, if things are going so swimmingly, and everyone, even the ones we suspected are against, is treating her so beautifully, it just might lead to an end to this horror of an exile, and a return, a reprise, a parole even, might be in the offing for me.
Even though I would be returning to the same prospects {none}, at least I will be back on American soil, with some hope left over and, with a renewed resolve to make some good on the promise that was my life, I am quietly looking forward to better times {truly I do, so don't get distracted if sometimes I let off some steam of frustration.
But America is my goal,
and all hail to the children of Anger!

The feeling of security or paranoia amongst Americans

education is neccesary to develop the mind and thoughts.
when i see some children throwing away some plastic bottles than i surmise that they missed something during they're education..
all begins at school and home..
of course these modern times dont allow us to make time and lots of families are living next to eachother.. and don't even know their children ..

About Americans

Remember that most of the pioneering settlers a long time ago, and from everywhere around the world were brave people.
It took alot of courage to leave everything behind and start a nexw life in an unknown country full of dangers.
So that means that Americans have the guts.
But meanwhile they're adventurous & they missed alot of the suffering they knew in Europe.
As Europe is the battlefield off the world, so they have known the greater part of destruction and mayhem.
From father to son, ll these memories are transformed in the children so that is something the American youth ( accept sioldiers in the middle east) doesn't know.

This results in the fact that Europe is always thinking twice about war while the Americans react immediately
They dont have the war and hunger stories that they have over there, and especially in Russia.

But that made the American people self assured.
Anyway after 911 there is a new enemy who sneeked into the common thoughts of the Americans .... doubt
the feeling they are no longer safe lives in forest USA...
The world has become small and faith in the hope that only 1 people and 1 leader, some believe, can unify us all.

When we will reach that, then we will be able to challenge space and the future.
But first we have to clean up our mess over here..

Did that grab ya?

The whole shebang with the Roman Catholic priesthood was, in the opinion of many Mexicans, long over-due. The awful pederasty scandals in America were just the tip of the iceberg as it were, and Mexicans, long under the oppressive shadow of the Church, were now emerging in force, with courage and rage bursting in their breasts, to accuse their spiritual leaders of the rottenest of interpersonal crimes for which there'd be no remuneration of any kind.

I think one of the least talked about ways of making money online has
to be promoting on the street. The reason is because as soon as the
Internet became popular it was literally kicked to the curb!
Originally, everyone was making money on the streets, either by handing
out flyers, or placing lawn signs everywhere. If I were to tell you
that you could still make money by doing this, you’d probably call me
nuts! Well, if you really want to think that, go ahead because I think
this needs to be talked about. If you want to make a lot of money
extremely quickly, do this, I promise it works! What I want you to do
first is go to a website called ClickBank and sign up (it’s free). What
they do is manage a bunch of different products that you can promote
for a commission. All you need to do is send traffic (people) to that
product page, and if they buy, you make your commission. The correct
term for it is, becoming an affiliate. Now the good part…
Once you’ve done that, the promoting on the streets comes into place.
After you pick a product that you want to promote on ClickBank, I want
you to open up Microsoft Word, Notepad, whatever you use on the
computer to write things. You will need to write 2 sentences about the
product you are promoting, and make it catchy! Make the font extremely
big and bold so that people can read it from far away. Then place your
custom link to the product you are promoting at the bottom of it. (It’s
called your “Hoplink” and ClickBank creates it for you, it’s extremely
easy.) Now after you have done that, I want you to print out about 100
of these. Fold them in half and take them with you on a walk around
your neighbor hood. When you’re walking, place them on the windshields
of parked cars… After you’ve run out, go home and log into you
ClickBank account later that night. I guarantee you’ll be surprised!
This is exactly how I started affiliate marketing. I know you’re
probably thinking that this would never work and that it’s a waste of
time. Well let me tell you something. When I used to do this, for every
100 I would hand out, I’d get around 10 people buying. So lets say that
I received $50 a sale. I would make $500 dollars every time I’d go out
and do this! Sounds a little more appealing now, right? So go out and
do this, I promise you if you just try it, you’ll start seeing great
results immediately. If you want more tips like this about affiliate
marketing, I highly suggest you join my free 7-day Bootcamp where I
explain exactly how to make money with affiliate marketing, from
scratch! And it’s free, what’s better than that?

AIRLEAF PUBLISHING SCAM

AIRLEAF PUBLISHING SCAM


As of December 21, 2007 over 600 authors who done business with Airleaf-formerly Bookman- Publishing operating out of Indiana, have been defrauded by them for over $2,000,000.00 (two million dollars). There are possibly an additional 2,000 victims who fallen victim to their shenanigans. Some had taken aggressive action with the Martinsville Indiana police, the Indiana Attorney General's office, the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspector, and the Indiana US Attorney to bring civil and criminal action against Airleaf seeking restitution and retribution. They made great strides in efforts to get restitution, which resulted in the filing of civil charges by the Attorney General's office in May 2008, but there was no restitution due to the founder and owner, Carl Lau, being broke and unable to pay the victims of his operation any money. Unfortunately the U.S. Attorney of Indiana, Timothy Morrison, had decided not to press criminal charges as of April 3, 2009. However, the defrauded authors would keep fighting until they'd find the justice they were seeking. Bonnie Kaye, an author herself and psychologist for straight wives for gay husbands, founded a victim's group to fight the apparent intransigence of the Indiana law-enforcers. If one came forward as an author victim, she welcomed them to join her group in their collective efforts to find justice and stop the owner of Airleaf, Carl Lau, and others like him, from ever cheating authors again.

The fraudulence and criminal activities of Airleaf is have gone on record with the Indiana Justice system as well as federal investigators. They had uncovered some of the illegality being perpetrated through victims group's own author investigations and by candid confessions by former employees who in ''good conscience'' could no longer participate in the fraud.
Here are just a few examples:
1) Airleaf sold publishing packages but never published the books of numerous authors nor did they pay royalties to authors that were published.
2) Airleaf sold the authors a package called the Germany Book Fair in the fall of 2006, but never went. Carl Lau had his staff tell the authors that during the time he was supposed to be in Germany that he was out of town at the book fair, but he was sitting right at his desk. This money was never returned to the authors.
3) Airleaf was selling the authors Bowker Club after they knew that Bowker had discontinued the service. $84,000 was collected from that service that never existed. This money was never returned to the authors.
://www.airleafvictims.com/
4) Airleaf sold the London Book Fair in April 2007 to authors, but again, did not go, and this money was never returned to the authors.
5) Airleaf sold the Books-To-Film Program where Carl Lau supposedly pitched books to Hollywood producers, but was alleged that he had not. After these trips, the authors received reports about producers interested in turning their books to movies, but he instructed his employees to make up false reports to send to the authors about two weeks after the fact. Or, he personally lied to the authors and made up information to appease them.
6) Airleaf sold advertisements for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Hollywood Review, and other publications for thousands of dollars but allegedly had no intention of actually running the advertisements. The authors never had their money returned.
7) Airleaf sold Kirkus Reviews to 80 authors for $799 in February '07 but never submitted the books or paid Kirkus to do the reviews. The money was never returned to the authors.
8) Airleaf charged thousands of dollars to authors for promotional services that claim to target 5,000 - 10,000 bookstores, television producers, radio shows, and other forms of media. Those numbers were completely pulled out of the air by employees who knew for a fact that all those packages were frauds from the very beginning, and yet they had no problem selling them.
9) Airleaf sold an author cruise on the Carnival cruise line for September 2007 where authors would meet a movie producer for their books. The trip was booked--the money was paid--but the trip was never booked. The authors never received their money back.
10) Airleaf advertised the movie "Jessie's Girl" on their home page to mislead authors into thinking that Airleaf books are being made into movies. They also sent out notices to thousands of unsuspecting authors boasting that their books could become hit films through Airleaf. "Jessie's Girl" was never an Airleaf book made into a movie--it was a script written by Lawrence Dixon, the Vice President of LiteStone Entertainment that was made into a book by Airleaf in 2007. There is no movie--only a movie trailer made by LiteStone. None of the Airleaf Books to Film listed on the Airleaf and LiteStone websites (no longer available to view) have ever been made into a film or even a trailer. It was just a way to have authors invest thousands of dollars in a scam. LiteStone Entertainment's president, Al Smith, officially disassociated himself with the company as of 12/10/07 in a public letter sent to our group.

As of Spring, 2007 Bonnie Kaye had been gathering Airleaf authors together to join her in taking criminal action against a company, many former and disgruntled employees later admitted, that was founded on fraud. The Victim's group now had over 600 Airleaf authors with horror stories from people who had been defrauded from $99.00 to $35,000.00. These authors were joining her to fight back so they would not have to be victims anymore.

This website was originally posted in August 2007 for two reasons: (1) to warn unsuspecting, hard working authors not to throw their money away on promises that wouldn’t come true. By stopping the cash flow of Airleaf Publishing, they were able to close the company down and (2) to help other Airleaf authors who were looking for justice by helping them find justice by insisting on criminal charges for the intentional crimes Airleaf and its owner Carl Lau committed against over six hundred of the known authors and over a thousand of others who were still unknown to the Victim's group. [http://www.airleafvictims.com/]

WHO WERE THE AUTHORS DEFRAUDED
Here is just a sample of the authors who had been defrauded by Airleaf Publishing, starting with Bonnie's own story:
Bonnie Kaye, M.Ed. – Author of Straight Wives: Shattered Lives
She is a professional relationship counselor in a niche market of straight/gay marriages, which affects 4 million women in this country. Since 1984, She had worked with over 45,000 women who unknowingly married gay/bi men and over 2,000 gay men who need support to come out to their wives. My website can be found at [[www.Gayhusbands.com.]] She often received international publicity because of her expertise in this field. She served as a consultant for the top television shows on this subject including Oprah, Montel, and Tyra Banks.
In the summer of 2006, she researched a number of print-on-demand publishers because she had a new book she wanted to reach the public by September 2006. Airleaf promised her that if she paid a hefty fee of $1,850.00, her book would be out on time, placed in 15 bookstores, and she would be paid quarterly royalties. The book came out the same week that former Governor James McGreevey’s book “The Confession” was released. She launched her own media campaign, and she was interviewed by Paula Zahn on CNN and the national FOX news. Sales were booming.
Airleaf’s representatives kept telling her that she was their most successful author to date with over 500 books that sold within the first six months. Although she had a signed a contract to receive quarterly statements and royalties, she only saw one check for $300.00 after six months. Six months later, with nothing more than promises that the money should be coming at any time, her attorney sent a letter threatening legal action with no response ~ Nothing. It was only after she launched a criminal complaint with the Martinsville, Indiana, police department in August that she received a second check which was far less than the money Airleaf owed her for her sales. Bonnie's books were never put into the bookstores, and a number of customer orders were never filled. That’s when she decided to become PRO-ACTIVE and fight back by finding other authors who were also victims of Airleaf fraud. She warned Airleaf and its author, Carl Lau, that she would start an Internet campaign that would close down his business, but he ignored her warning and still refused to pay her the money.

[[http://airleafvictims.blogspot.com/]]


the “Sue Bonnie Kaye” case. Brien Jones, Lau's partner in the crime and founder of his own publishing scam, sent this letter to authors:

"Jones Harvest Publishing along with 230 (so far) plus SIX OTHER COMPANIES is finally filing suit against Bonnie Kaye. I already paid the Miller Law Group in West Lawn PA for the whole thing, so I don't need any money from you or anyone.
I have decided to include clients like you in the suit at no charge. Please believe me when I tell you her attacks on my company have hurt you and your books. You deserve compensation too."

"You don't have to do anything, or say anything, or pay anything, or go anywhere. You'll just get a share of whatever we get back.If you want a share of the settlement, all you have to do is say "Yes" and I'll add you to the list.
I would love it if you stood with us."

This is quite interesting because Brien was proven not to have 230 authors. According to his Amazon reports, he had approximately 150 authors who had published with him. And the odd thing to the victimized authors was they had over 80 reports from authors who had been scammed by him who came to the Airleaf Victim's group for help, so somehow, these numbers just did not add up.

Bonnie responded: ''Let’s say that Brien could find 5000 people to join a law suit against me. What is it he is suing me for? Telling the truth? Revealing that he has been deceiving authors and taking their money without providing services? Is this a crime? Are we all living on that Animal Farm where truth becomes lies and lies become the law?''

In an effort to find a new way to make some money, since selling books was not what Brien was good at according to Brien when he told authors:

"I hope you have noticed that you haven't received any letters about new bookselling packages. It's not because we ran out of stamps. We decided to make it or not, with the books and authors we have. We're still trying to find a way to sell books, when I come up with something I'll call."

They were, Bonnie insisted, clueless in finding ways to sell books and they refused to do what they had authors pay them for—like contacting every media outlet and bookstore within a 100 mile area of their homes.

So now here’s the Jones Harvest new letters sent to all the former Airleaf mailing list:

''You don't need to send money or books.''

''I'll put your book on our websites. No charge, no obligation. I'll even make a few calls. If you want to send me books, I’ll try to put them in stores. (Again, no charge, no obligation.)''

''I worked at Airleaf Publishing through 2006, (they closed in 2008) and I just want to help out if I can.''

A matter of consideration

Many people don’t know that it’s possible to make a living online, or
at least a good extra income. Most think you have to have to go to
college and have a great job to make a lot of money these days. Well if
you think that way, I’m about to really surprise you, and show you
exactly how you can make a lot of money online starting now!
Don’t worry it’s not a scam, pyramid scheme, or any of that fluff. I
know, when I first heard about making money online that was the first
thing that came to my head too. But when I started collecting checks
every month, my whole theory changed! So enough of all that, I’m
actually going to show you how to start making money online now! What I
want you to do first is go to a website called ClickBank and sign up
(it’s free). What they do is manage a bunch of different products that
you can promote for a commission. All you need to do is send traffic
(people) to that product page, and if they buy, you make your
commission. The correct term for it is, becoming an affiliate. Here’s a
quick example to clear your up your confusion. Lets say one of the
products is selling for $100 and you get a 50% commission. Every time
you make a sale, you’ll obviously make $50. So if you get 10 people to
buy it, you’ll get a check for $500! See what I mean, it’s possible to
do and extremely easy!
Once you’ve signed up in ClickBank, the next important thing to know is
obviously picking a good product to promote. Now this is where a bunch
of affiliates fail to be successful online. But right now I’m going to
tell you a quick tip that helped me become extremely successful, very
quickly. Under each product in the “Marketplace” of ClickBank, there’s
something called “grav”, what it means is Gravity. What that tells you
is if the product is selling well. You always want to pick a product
that is over 50 gravity. If the product isn’t over that, don’t go for
it! Once you know that, you’ll be able to successfully sell products on
ClickBank. The reason you want the Gravity to be high is because that
tells you that other affiliates are successfully selling it. Let me
tell you a quick secret that most people don’t know about Gravity. The
number of Gravity actually means how many affiliates that product has!
For example, if the gravity is 75, that means 75 different affiliates
are selling the product at that time… Easy enough right?
So now that you have that down, go make some money online! It’s
seriously not as hard as most people think, especially when you have
the right people teaching you. That’s how I became successful online,
just happened to be around the right teachers at the right time! If you
want to find out more about how you can become successful online
through affiliate marketing, and also find out WHERE to promote, check
out my free 7-day Bootcamp! I actually explain to you in detail how I
did it, and how you can “actually” use the exact steps I did. It’s
worth it, and it’s free, how could you say no! Check it out here:

I believe in the message of the quaint and sweet verses we read in the Bible or other religious sources, but I don't believe in them---that is, I do not believe they came from God or any supernatural source---Just like the Bible was written by MEN {and a couple of women}, all this other stuff we get though other references is the work of Mankind.
Because love and spiritual and emotional comfort are things that go beyond nature and touch the heart and mind, Man has sought fit to attach a divine, or supernatural source to their origins, and like the common folk are naught but sheep and willingly allow themselves to be guided by the lions and wolves among us, the average people throughout the centuries have gobbled up religion and the claims of their leaders that it all came from an almost human, always angry God, that gets very impatient with his children when they don't behave, but instead of spanking them, he sends plagues, terrible storms, horrible diseases, destroys cities or just sends us to burn in hell for doing things we had no idea were sins.

Angels in our Lives---a comment

I know of a woman, a good friend, an excellent counselor who touched many lives, and a beautiful, wonderful human being whose own life realized even more beauty through the understanding her soul. This just goes to show that there is always at least one angel in our lives, though we have to flubber around day to day with a lot of assholes. …a Sioux friend told me: The Creator gathered all of creation and said, “I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality.” The eagle said, “Give it to me, I will take it to the moon.” The Creator said, “No. One day they will go there and find it.” The salmon said, “I will hide it on the bottom of the ocean.” “No. They will go there, too.” The buffalo said, “I will bury it on the great plains.” The Creator said, “They will cut the skin of the earth and find it even there.”… Then Grandmother Mole…who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said, “Put it inside them” [for that is the last place they will look.] The Creator said, “It is done.” ~ and themz the truth about it all

Thoughts for the day

The news out of Mexico is the same crap--narco-trafficking and civil conflict, and now that Hillary meets with Mexican leaders, who cares? There have been many meetings at the top level, and they end up only paying lip service, but the same old slaughters go on, the innocent die, and great profits are wracked up by both the elected officials as well as the drug lords. Now that is the great Mexican Compromise!

Life has many ups and downs, day by day. Just today I have had 2 ups, and about 3 downs, and the downs are bitches!
And now with Obamacare, we must make the best of it. It is Law now, after all, so we have to make it work for the sake of our health and medical care. No gambling with our health, people!

Achicopales

Believe it or not, I think I have every reason to be happy right now but I still get really depressed and drink and smoke and sing about begging God to take me.

Thanks to noted psychologist Laura Mitre, I learned that It is our low self esteem and wounds we have from others that invites this melancholy to embed itself in our subconscious.. Others, even loved ones, see me like this sometimes and get mad at me for allowing shit to get to me. But, I have to tell them it’s a disease, I am still mourning the losses I had, my self-respect, my inheritance, my family, my mother, my beloved and friends. The fact that I have no support money wise from no one, the fact that I was robbed of a healthy happy life, I have to tell them F… off! and let me be depressed if I want to.

We just have to. My way of dealing with it is drink some wine, smoke a cig, lock myself in my car blasting music, I cry for an hour or two and then I get over it.

That is the trick I guess. I see it as some kind of therapy. Like chemotherapy for the cancer, I can only tell you don’t feel bad for having those feelings. Find your own chemo, whatever it is ~ music, movies, find something that will help you mourn, cry or do whatever you feel you have to do and then move on, you’ll get over your melancholy eventually, I’m sure!

That’s all I can tell you for now my friends, I hope, sharing my ways to deal with things help you get ideas for yourselves.

It is springtime again

Well, everywhere in Mexico--the archaeological sites---people are welcoming the equinox. Many are complaining about having ''butterflies in their belly,'' and some of us just feel discombobulated. Why does it have to be? All i know is that the time of change is up on us, the time to renew our resolve for the future, and to try new endeavors. But, frankly, I feel like crap. Must be this bi-polarism that grips me with every change of weather, and damn it, here in Yucatan, the weather has been changing by the hour---even by as much as 12°, and it is driving me crazy!
How is it with you!

Should society or the step-parents themselves be made to pay for destroying the lives of their children?

There is much to be said about family relationships. There is much to be said of families that are borne of divorce, and confused by new matrimonies which put children against their new surrogate parents, or step-parents. These children are the original children of anger, and have the resentment of society served to them in no uncertain terms, and without care for their rights and and sentiments.

I know of such families, and always the children are made to suffer for the selfishness and jealousies of their parents. It is reprehensible in the extreme to countenance that the egos and lusts of the prospective couples should gamble away the happiness of their own children for the sake of fulfilling sexual needs.

What to do then to protect further generations from the brutalities of unsympathetic usurpers of innocent feelings? Just as many cruelties occur within legitimate families as they reputedly do in surrogate families, so why all the fuss?

This is true, but have we not learned anything from David Copperfield and his Mr. Murdstone (from the same novel by Charles Dickens), and the horror of such interlopers who intrude on the lives of the helpless, and destroy them to satisfy their perverse ambitions?

No, the children of anger have all the right, and new laws should be passed to protect them from such traumas. Older laws should have greater enforcement to protect the children from egotistical machinations that put their very futures at risk.

I am not for the break-up of any family, but when it comes to the happiness and potential of young lives, then it would be better to break-up such false arrangements than to prolong the agony for the sake of social appearances, and, worse yet, the base sexual needs of the parents.

Of course this isn't true of all step-families. Some are formed out of love, of concern for the future of the family, of security and the bonds that are forged in traditional family situations---many of us recall the quaint example that a BRADY BUNCH imparted---and we sigh, ''if only all step-families were like that!''

But, alas, it is not true in most cases, so Society beware! There are rapacious miscreants out there waiting to take advantage of helpless ladies with children to feed on the bounty of their love as well as refrigerators. They intrude on the domicile tranquility to impose their own unhappiness on them while reaping all the advantages they can take from their new family.

Society itself must be made to pay for not stopping such evil types from intruding on the sanctity of a legitimate family.

That is all I have to say. What do you think?

Spirit and Truth in the Universe

Ancient people didn't write endless volumes in discussion of survival or spiritual matters as we do. They listened and led their lives in worship of the spirits and demons that inhabited their uniquely interpreted world. And they knew when they fell and disobeyed there were consequences. Modern Americans think they can live any way, do any thing, and if they profess they believe in organized religions transplanted from Asia, they profess they believe, no matter what they are going to heaven - if as self professed Christians in modern America they even believe in heaven anymore, but they are in trouble. They fool themselves with the delusion. But, without the delusion, what is left to us? Only despair?

Ancient people didn't constantly think and attempt to analyze. They lived their lives according to their beliefs. They applied the belief in their deities in their daily lives. In every way they were intimate participants in their environments. And they didn't have this constant need to categorize their tribal deities or everything in their teachings, mostly oral, or to lower spirits of fertility to their level of understanding. Heaven forbid! Nature and all of her minions were elevated by ancient people. They knew they were limited. Humility and the casting aside of self to serve the spirits that watched over them drove them, inspired them, but mostly kept them in check for fear of ghostly reprisals. They were aware they were very limited in knowledge compared to Mother Nature. Not on par with the spirits is something they were all too aware of. They knew they were finite. Temporary. Fallible. Mere men and women and not the creator deities. They would never presume to claim an understanding of their creators, only what their function was in their lives as modern people do since the reason for creation is still beyond the comprehension of mere men and woman. Instead they lived to worship and praise their deities, trusting they would direct their lives.

Modern people are frequently facile in their discussion and thinking regarding modern notions of divinity, or creation and so forth. People of faith profess they believe their deity is transcendent, but then they all too often assume that they know exactly who or what their deity really is and what it thinks, who it loves, what it expects ~just so preposterous, all of it. We with rote and little true spirit, no truth, and little earnestness ask of these creator deities to bless our nation, save the queen, cure the illnesses and afflictions of those we personally know, or to cure some disease within the world, and to make sure it doesn't rain when we go on a picnic or to a ball game. We constantly remind this personal deity we have formed in our minds that it has created the world and that we are miserable sinners, as though these facts somehow slipped the mind of this deity of theirs. Politicians quote, or misquote sayings attributed to their deity to justify their policies and election, or reelection. Terrorists commit atrocities in the deity's name creating great blasphemy upon the murder, pain, and mayhem they inflict. We beg and implore this cruel deity to support "our" side, "our" candidate, "our" team even though our opponents are, presumably, also the deity's children and the object of his love and concern as well.

Again, all so preposterous that I could puke!

For all our professed advancements, progression, scientific discovery, and technological achievements we exhibit and hold very undeveloped spiritual thinking. And we presume people that came before us believed and acted in the same or similar manner. We opted for the comfortable path rather than the straight and narrow path. We have opted to incorporate and pervert the worship of the traditional deity by infusing and mingling pagan and other faiths rituals and beliefs into accepted worship behaviors, especially those related to Biblical religions, the worst ones of all. Colored lights, Christmas trees, gaudy decorations, and going into debt buying gifts for finicky and selfish people is not how the glory of Nature and her changing annual stations should be acknowledged. Why? Because the whole concept of existence without the participation of a deity that is partial to humanity and not objective and detached from Mankind's infirmities and hallucinating bullshit is unthinkable? Deep down inside our brains, rational people understand it is bullshit, so why not have some fun with it! We can't just exist for the perverted from of a cruel and mischievous deity anymore than we exist randomly, created by accident by the impersonal forces that formed the Universe! We've been led by angels and beacons in the sky, not to mention demons, for too long! So as a result everyone now thinks themselves kings and queens worthy of receiving gifts in celebration of THEIR Lord's birth? It is the 3rd millennium of the Common Era, and yet we cling to superstitions for the sake of identity, of defying other superstitious idiots that have found their civilizations upon the same premises of tribal rivalry, which is all about the Bible, and yet would destroy it out of jealousy for this illusory deity of theirs! How tragic is our lot. And they decorate their homes in perverse and gaudy lighting displays because there was a star in the sky guiding ignorant fools that lived their lives by superstition? What a foolish and stupid people we are! What a selfish and blasphemous people we are, just like all organized religions are selfish and blasphemous unto the ideal that is humanity, and the ideals that support existence, like love, compassion, hope and faith!

And as my friend wrote to me...don't even get me started on the Easter bunny and Easter eggs and candy!

The very being of the real, tangible Universe to me, and its bounty, impersonal though its feelings maybe about its very creations, is about inspiration, creation, miracles, amazement, revelation, faith, belief...and great wondrous mystery! We do not need to know everything or understand everything. We must cease this diseased and evil obsession of believing in the lies of organized religions. As people of this modern time we have a right to know. We don't. The Universe is a mystery. the Universe is spirit. The Universe is not a thing you can conveniently fold up and place in your pocket or on your mp3 player to utilize when you selfishly wish.

While we think the Twentieth Century was great in propelling us into some much better world, removing of course the facts of all the wars, earthquakes, famines, economic depressions, atrocities, and painful things - what occurred in the 20th Century to how people view and think of their God and the teachings of their religions went backwards. Because we mingled the rationalizations and science of that time into belief and the teaching of their religion's lies. Even though we may not have been aware. And since the end of World War II and the creation of the New Age Movement people have now embraced and encouraged and even demanded the polluting and diluting of so-called religious worship of Biblical religions with New Age doctrine, dogma, and evil perversity's!

So typical of the religiously deluded.

Life itself is SPIRIT. And those who worship Nature must worship in spirit and truth, but those who worship Biblical religions invite death and destruction. Not in a mingling of pagan ritual and fun in order to keep you awake or interested. We must worship the very elements that sustain us in truth and spirit NOT as laid out for brain-washed fools in the Bible. A translation that occurred and went into print prior to the past 30 years or so, when translations of the Bible itself have been corrupted and perverted to suit the wishes of man and the New Age Movement under the direction of the Satanic clergy and their zealous minions, rather than maintaining the sanctity and integrity of this ever-giving world of ours.

Do not marginalize and analyze the Universe. Do not reduce it to the word of Mankind, or to simple theories of physics down to our level. Instead on a daily basis, with much work, with sincere effort, not seeking the easy way out, aspire to rise up to the level of true happiness to hear and see what each is able to in order to discern Nature's Will in our lives.

We live in an instant, microwaveable, easily explained away, I-don't-want-to-do-anything-that-is-difficult-or-takes-too-much-time-or-practice society that gets about 98% of what it thinks and does wrong. We are a stupid and foolish people. If a person insists on living that way, eating that way, working that way, BELIEVING or living in unbelief that way that is their choice. Their low quality life. I implore people that think it must be easy to be a prejudiced believer in their personal god and their prejudiced religion is on their level to take the time to truly understand the works of Life. Seek the wisdom and understanding that Living can and will provide if you seek the meaning for your own existence in truth and in spirit. Do not settle for the easy. Do not turn to the others and their organized religions of most people who blaspheme by their lowering and trivializing of the powers of the Universe, by their demanding it provide for them what they demand and desire and make them prosper because that is what their false teacher preacher tells them. Do not be one that practices more pagan ritual in their so-called Christian, or any other Biblical worship than they do praise, reverence, respect, awe, fear, and submission to the One True Universe that is alive within each of our hearts, Life itself.

True faith, true belief and practice in the world that supports and nurtures us is not primarily something to think about but rather to do. It takes practical daily action. A person cannot imagine or talk about baking a cake, driving a car, playing a musical instrument - they must take the time, make the effort through practical application and daily practice and or use in order to be able to complete the task at hand.

One of the main problems in Biblical religions, in today's so-called Biblical faith, and everyone - believer, false believer, or unbeliever is that no one can discuss, write, or judge what is true or falsehood. It is through the actual application, the doing, the living by translating the doctrines into ritual and ethical, honest, true action the learning of what is true happens.

Like any skill, be it baking, painting, or playing a musical instrument - true belief and living a real Christian life serving Our world that sustains us requires perseverance, hard work, and a lot of discipline. One of the great problems and why there are so few true believers is because so few are willing to become disciplined and persevere. Too many want everything easy. Nice, neat, and tidy in a little box they can set on a table or shelf. No sweat. No disappointment. No hard work. No setbacks. No reality of failure and having to pic yourself up, brush yourself off, and forge ahead never quitting!

And just like bakers, painters, and musicians they all have different skill levels, different talents, and some become very accomplished, others not so accomplished. Some are downright inept but they still persist and do not surrender or give up. Being a true believer is just like that only so much more. And it takes rigorous and vigorous daily work and daily discernment of what is truly from the World and what is coming from this Satanic compromise we have in Biblical religions and corrupting and causing a stumbling along the way.

Come, seek, walk the narrow and straight path to the narrow gate...and knock and ask in truth and spirit and it will be given to you. And once you find it? Never fall and never let what you worked for go. Do not corrupt and pollute, do not blaspheme while pretending to worship of your personal deity with New Age mingling and doctrine which are from the Satanic clergy that teach Biblical mumbo-jumbo and lead to death. You've certainly heard someone say "No one ever said life was supposed to be easy." Well, following the teachings of the Universe and living a life pleasing and acceptable to the the ways of Nature is not easy either, but the rewards are worth more than anyone or anything else could provide. not only the reward of living an acceptable life unto the Universe and being received into the heaven that exists in mind and in the heart - the rewards while here on earth cannot be compared or equaled by anything else, anyone else. And as mentioned above... a person must live it, do it, apply it, practice it, have it become their nature to know that. We can't just discuss or write about such things.

Enter through the narrow gate which leads to life...be one of the few.

There is no greater gift or sacrifice than the life we have lived, the death we have endured, the Resurrection we have created so that every person could have Salvation, not exclusions, if they come and worship in spirit and truth the mystery and glory that is our ever-sustaining, ever bountiful Universe.

GOD'S WINGS

God's Wings

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast....because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.

'He will cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you will find refuge.'
(Psalm 91:4)

My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this on to people you want to be blessed.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone Special.

To realize the value of a Friend...lose one.

American Realities 4

All we have today is the many misleading many others. With the misled so vigilantly and so religiously falling and following those misleading them, the doom we fear seems imminent. They believe so fervently in their blindness, their misplaced energy, zeal, and false hope!

But America, just like the statue of Liberty which it represents, stands firm, lofty, silent, but ever vigilant, all seeing, protecting the ideals of humanity, not the petty concerns of the common herd, despite what is written on the tablet of Lady Liberty: give me your tired, your poor, you unhuddled masses, and so forth.

No! America is for the enlightened, the truly worthy of freedom and limitless opportunity, NOT the mindless, meandering and miserable masses who would import their tribal hatreds to make of our paradise of freedom and opportunity a cesspool of human wretchedness and perversion!!!

I've heard people ask, "How could Hitler ever come to power?"

How could Obama have come to power, for that matter???

And that is easy, People. The stupidity and amazing ability of people to be so easily misled and to gravitate to that which destroys, as they are repulsed and reviled, and mock that which can save, build up, and truly lead to real progress. They ignore that which can truly save them. This is never more true than the false notions people keep of America.

America is comprised of nothing but people that mislead, and legions ready, willing, eager, and oh so able to be misled by them... But the ideal of America lives on. The promised land is laid before all to see, but we puny, greedy, fearful humans do not see it. The promised land is laid before us, and its name is America. Nay, let me rephrase: America the Beautiful!

American realities 3

I know that most people reading this refuse to believe it. Their New Age indoctrination and 20th Century indoctrination and all the propaganda people have been fed their entire lives will not allow them to ingest such heresy and talk...but if people would only would open their eyes, ears, and mind and pause to take it all in they can't help but seeing the rot and decline, and also see how it continues headlong in that direction with no effort, will, or desire to alter our destructive course, though we daily delude ourselves it's getting better.

Instead people like to trivialize and depend on their pop psycho babble cultural roots, their New Age teaching which has infected their minds to the degree they can no longer think or see clearly, and they recite like zombies, "I see the glass half full not half empty," when in truth, being objective this has nothing to do with glasses of liquid containing the same solution in the same amount no matter if you say half full, or half empty, and others will say, "When life gives me lemons I make lemonade," which is one of the all-time moronic things ever said, because just as they must add a lot of sweetener to the bitter lemon in order to make their lemonade they must also add a large amount of delusion, myths, lies, and forced positive thinking in stating things in America will get better.

Once Reich Marshall Pelosi, I mean Speaker of the House Pelosi, you remember her? Making the brash statements about returning Congress to the people? No more politics as usual? Cleaning up the system and restoring honor to Congress? That Reich Marshall...that is going to connive, trick, twist, lie, distort, manipulate, corrupt, and pervert the system and all logic, all rational thinking just to force this health care reform down the throats of America...and when it takes effect? By then, 3 years from now, I won't need to write another word.

If you're alive and only have one eye opened, and one ear to hear with you won't be able to hide or deny the rot, corruption, decline, and demise of America, and you will see how progressively worse it is going to get from this point forward.

2 And so one would say to the commons, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down."

This is the message of America to the world.

3 As He was sitting thinking of the declaration of Independence, legend says Jefferson was told privately, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of the coming of our ideals, and of the end of the age?"

4 And Jefferson answered and said to them, "See to it no one misleads you."

The people of this nation are nothing but mislead and allow themselves to be nothing but mislead though they protest so vehemently they are so aware and following the right path, the right person...they are following deceivers and destroyers, and have their feet firmly planted in the darkness of the wrong path. The path that leads to tyranny, and religious oppression.

5 "For many will come pretending to know God saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many." But the ideal of America is enough to liberate mankind.

"Christ" means messiah. During the Barack Obama campaign and to this very day in the White House staffers and those at the top of the Obama Administration refer to him as "Black Jesus," or "The black messiah." I do not make that up. That has been reported - and then quickly squashed and dismissed.

The people in government, in the U.S. Congress, in the White House, the people in the news do nothing but mislead and profess we should follow and worship some man, some woman, anything but what is truly deserving of our worship.

Your messiah is where your heart and mind are. This is the ideal of America. Christ has returned to the world, in 1776 when America was born. Be it your job, money, some thing, following or being misled by a man or woman on this earth, loving anything or anyone more than you love the only true messiah, The United States of America.

6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. The birth pangs of America, and stupid and wicked men have in the last 200 years tried to make it do their bidding, but the goodness, the salvation that is America is still alive and well and providing hope for countless millions.

9 Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. And so it is with the name of America---many hate her because they are evil and ill-intentioned.

10 At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

11 Many false prophets will arise and mislead many.

12 Because lawlessness is increased most people's love will grow cold.

13 But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved by America, and for the purpose of leading America to the new epoch of global civilization.

14 This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." Never has this been more true than about America.

IDOLATRY

Idolatry : Dec 10, 2009 So, the feast day of La Virgen de Guadalupe is coming on the 12th of December. Who the fuck cares? Just shows that superstition, obscurantism, bigotry and stupidity are alive and well. There is no reason to get on your knees to an idea that has run its course. There is no reason to cling to fear whilst the possibilities for real, worldly happiness are at your finger-tips. You have all forsaken love, and for what? For the hatred that allowing yourself to be brain-washed by self-styled Holy man brings you? Happy now to be full of hate? Happy that you have sown the seeds of your own ruin and destruction? Damnation be your legacy unto your progeny. Damnation be your destination once the hour begins of the night which no morrow follows. To the shadows of oblivion you belong. To the shadows goes your spirit to lament the choices you have made, for the lies you prayed to, for the faith you placed in imbeciles who made you even more foolish than they. The year ends, and the same old round of hypocrites with their lies shall follow you, pretending to care for your happiness, but taking it from you, one word at a time, replacing sincerity with shame, hope with the horror you have forged for yourself. Beware of the night that no morning follows, for then there will be nothing but the hate you reaped from the stupidity that replaced your soul once you decided you were not smart enough to think for yourself. For this I cry, HAH, HAH, HAH!

OUTRAGEOUS!
