Mark Jacobs' Rants and Raves - Thoughts for the Day
A revelation is sweeping planet "human" at the moment, and it is polarizing humanity into 2 camps, nasty and nice. The majority regard themselves as simple, tax-paying folk (me and you included) who are doing nothing wrong. They think they are "nice". However, they are "nasty" in that evil people take their taxes and spend it on building instruments and weapons that serve only one purpose - to hurt, maim and kill living creatures. Since when is "attack" a form of "defence"? Ignorance may be bliss, but it serves the devil very well indeed. If you don't use it (your brain) then some evil twit will come along and use it for you. What gets me is that we could invest in true defence, where whatever we invented would cause no harm to the attacker, but actually and effectively stops the attack. Like a force-field or something. But no way, we'll never see our money invested in such a gallant way... Jeez! And the ignorant keep voting in the evil fools who are the corporate puppets, enabling the harm that befalls mankind needlessly and daily, the scallywags! One day, some of my ideas may come to fruition, but I'm starting to wonder whether it'll ever be on this planet!
I just cannot see how a religion like Islam can instil cultures where, when a woman gets raped, it's always her fault! They're all idiots, and in the case of Pakistan, nuclear-armed idiots.
On Albert Hoffman's recent death at the age of 102 :-

LSD proved that a slight (micrograms) alteration of the brain's chemistry, can yield phenomenally changed perception of the universe we are part of, to the extent that all opinion structures are dissolved. The government spends a fortune instilling certain opinions in the brains of its citizens, and that is why they abhor LSD so much - it twonks their efforts to condition a good consumer.

Consequently, there is now a minority subset of humanity who realise the charade most other people live seriously. Quantum mechanics just reinforces the fact the we humans have no idea what is going on, and that what is in our heads is reflected in the reality we end up perceiving.

Like a dog chasing its own tail, common man will be going round in circles, pursuing whatever agenda has been set by those evil wrong-doers in charge of the planet.

Take LSD a few times, and all this becomes transparently clear, much to the embarrassment of those "controllers". Life is a journey, enjoy the ride! Your opinions are not important and have no effect on the reality of shared existence on a planet bursting with gentle, loving life forms.
The vacant masses seem unconsciously intent on controlling everyone into a scientifically provable subset of possible existences. I'd rather have the freedom of mind instilled by free experiences, than the closeted and secretive guilt of a possession-centric lifestyle. It is simple - the Western world set store by materialism, and the poorer countries, although aspiring to this false luxury (it looks attractive, but it does not satisfy), are forced to accept the spiritual but raw edge of keeping alive. The universe's joke is that these poor people lead more fulfilling lives than the ones who have a secure and comfortable time eking out their lives in the richer countries. Too much security and ergonomic ease are a problem, not "luxury". Society as it stands, tries so hard to convince everyone (religion and education) that "new speak" is right. Arming the world makes it a safer place to live in! Dangerous drugs that are addictive and do nothing for you spiritually are the only legal recreational drugs globally! Terrorists are so great a threat, they warrant all of our fear, attention and sacrifice of freedoms!

Anyone who believes in the religious stories literally, or acts on these phoney beliefs as if they were true, is a dangerous idiot, or a sinister, control freak with no regard for life. See this Zeitgeist clip for the truth about nearly all religions. Our saviour is just the Sun. It is so obvious.
We all know abortion is about an approved form of murder. Other forms involve the breeding and slaughtering of what we call meat. Either you are consciously aware of the murder you are committing, or your conscience will prick you forever. If a woman gets pregnant by accident, there is no way she can condone murder to excuse the cheap 5-minute thrill that she was seeking, and the responsibility she is now trying to avoid. Most abortions are done because of this reason, and that is inexcusable.
Irrespective of who you vote for in the States, we all know it's Hilary Clinton who is the "blood-line related" candidate, and hence the only one who will win the presidency. Democracy - huh! Yanks, please, prove me wrong next year, please, please, pretty please!

It's always the "blood-line related" candidate who wins. It is always so obvious. The party line (Rep. Dem. or even Ind.) varies but the blood-line always gets in.

The latest in this nepotism is James Murdoch now inheriting his father's media empire. Jeez! Will it never stop, this anachronistic practice of handing down wealth and power through your family lines! When are the worthy going to get their dues?
Inspired by the article at the Telegraph :-
It begs the question, "Why do the parents come to live in a country whose majority religion is Christianity, when they cannot abide Christians?". They must be mad!
I strongly advise you see the film Zeitgeist because you would then realise that all these idiotic religions are based on the sun rising and setting, as the seasons go by. Jesus=Sun, God=Universe, we=bunch of baldy apes insignificantly strutting round on a ball of rock in space. Have a look - any reasonably intelligent ape would get it - resurrection is when we come out of winter into spring etcetera...

Modern day religion is all about delusion that Jesus (or Allah or Horus or Joseph or whatever...) was a person, rather than the Sun. Keeping people stupid this long has made "common man" the laughing stock of those in the know (and in power).
There has been a conspiracy for many hundreds of years, to allow a few rich, powerful men, control and subjugation over the entire planet. It is now coming to fruition, and we see unfolding in front of us a fascist global superstate, the technological might of which we can do nothing about, unless we immediately wrest control from those few men before it is too late. To cause the unrest required to make us fear enough to demand extra technological "security", the West has been making deals with these backward countries for a while now, where they pay these people to cause civil unrest in the secure West. Dig deep and you will find the truth...
The corporations target their merchandise specifically at our senses (hearing, sight, sensation, taste and smell) rather than at human beings with God-given morality and spirituality. In that way, they are trying to engineer us as simply experiential creatures with no insight or spirituality. That way, we make good customers. Having a wider perspective as to our lot as the rather over-populous homo sapiens species on planet earth, is certainly not part of their agenda. If they could manufacture consumers, instead of having humans born, they would - but then again, we have genetic engineering just around the corner, so perhaps they don't have to wait too long before their dreams come true!
As Bill Hicks states quite overtly, "America is just a third world country - dog patch". You have crap food, crap healthcare, crap transport, and crap entertainment. The fact that you survive on this crap, and completely believe the hype on mass media that it is not crap, just shows how stupid you are. And exactly the same is becoming true of other countries in Europe now. As the rest of the world swallows up the tripe exported by the USA, we are all becoming third world hoodwinked. A global dictatorship is afoot whereby we all have a shallow common denominator called the food we eat and the entertainment we "enjoy", dictated to us by people with far more money than sense or morals. This food and brain input keeps us dumbed down so we cannot muster a fitting rebellion. Let's all just die in peace now, while our keepers hide in their costly underground bases, and we die on the surface from poisons as yet unknown.
The 9-11 chain reaction is starting. You won't be able to move for being watched. OK, let's dissect the "if you've got nothing to hide, then why complain?" lobby. Everything you do will be filmed, logged and reported. No matter where you go or what you do, you will be under constant surveillance. If your face exhibits the wrong emotions at the wrong time, you can be suspected of "subversiveness" by some busy-body surveillance employee with not enough to do. If you think that this is not important, then consider why I could not get a job after leaving university - not me, but my sister was in the CND demonstrating at Greenham Common. Consequently, I found that all of my immediate family had been registered as "trouble makers" in the government's little black book. And to give some perspective on the problem, during Thatcher's years, a singer/guitarist who used to play anti-government songs in the pubs and clubs in Northern England, was also registered as "TM" in this book. A program on Granada TV exposed it as the heralding of a "1984 era".

If anyone can be fitted up, then everyone will have to behave like robots, in order to fully benefit from the surveillance society.
Marriage is good - very good! (From first-hand experience)

Unlike most indoctrinated fools who call themselves people, I feel that man is monogamous, and that one partner for life is the right solution for everyone concerned, especially the children that may be produced by such unions. Modern Western society conditions its inhabitants to be totally sexually obsessed, not with sex to procreate, but with sex for fun and thrills with no children produced. This makes for a very shallow social worth instilled into everyone, since this "childless sex" is the pinnacle of their experience, despite contraceptive techniques either numbing the natural sensation, or interfering with hormones so that it is not the same emotionally.

To get the most out of life, you have to go with its natural energy flows, and those tend to produce more life. Add to that the fact that children feel threatened by their natural parents when those parents choose other partners, and tend to grow up emotionally or psychologically disturbed with step-parents, marriage is the vow that you want to produce and raise a good and balanced family with this person, and that means a very long-term relationship. More at Real Clear Religion.
Girl is too sexy for the bus!
Jeez! What is happening to this world? Aliens must be cacking their pants in hysterics! It's a good job they're all housed in DUMBs (deep underground military bases), or we'd be wondering where the insane laughter was coming from. Check out 2 miles under Denver airport and Groom Lake for more information. The interconnecting tunnels can take personnel from LA to New York at mach 3! Check out Phil Schneider. Bring on those black helicopters with coatings made from element number 140! ;-)
Whenever a company is concerned predominantly with profits for its shareholders, their products tend to suffer in the QA department. How half the hardware in the world gets onto shop shelves is a complete mystery to me. Nowadays, we are seeing an increase in faulty, even dangerous, equipment being supplied to an unsuspecting public. Even when the first baby dies from its deployment in the home, we will still not see a change in manufacturers' attitudes. Money and greed are ruining the entire planet.
The UK's smoking ban comes into force today (1st July 2007), but they still murder water-powered car inventors, so we all have to breathe in car exhausts. The world becomes more ridiculous everyday! In Singapore, you cannot even smoke in the streets, but kids still get asthma from the traffic.
If the pinnacle of existence is the archetypal Western civilisation lifestyle (consumerism rather than creativity and spiritual freedom), and third world aspirations are set on the emulation of such lifestyles, the vermin of humanity will stagnate in morbid over-population and natural resource overuse at the expense of all life on this planet. And, no, humans will not be able to genetically engineer their way out of this one.
Since we humans do not have the most intelligent brains on the planet (whales and dolphins have that privilege), we must assume our purpose involves something to do with our physically superior status, in terms of handling the environment called Earth. If so, then why do we see fit to spread our concrete cancers all over the planet, breeding like rats, at the expense of all other species here? All other mammalian and marsupial species are as sensitive and sentient as we are - they feel the same gamut of emotions as us, and the same heartaches when their young and habitats are killed off. Why is it most humans do not believe this is true? Our human-centric culture is killing off the rest of the planet. If one extrapolates the current human course, we can see that we will end up in a concrete, steel and glass world where other species are few and far between, the majority being in zoos or cages.
The agenda seems to be to ram just Islam so far down the back of Westerners throats, a backlash will eventually come. However, the transparency with which they are doing this, means that only a few racist loonies will fall for it. In the UK, they even built toilets in a prison block so that they faced Mecca.

My own take is that all institutionalised religions are anachronistic and irrelevant to the modern world we live in. People have ridiculous beliefs that sound like fairy tales at times, rather than belief systems that make good frameworks for living realistically and fairly. I, for one, am not taken in. I hope [and pray ;-)] that there are many out there who feel the same way as me.
As for entertainment, what I can't understand is why are we constantly served up a concoction of murderers who are proclaimed heroes because of who they kill. Jeez! Even in Disney films.
In a recent raid in a Rastafarian church here in the UK, police found maryjane (what a surprise!). But they never stalk pubs for drink-drivers at closing time!

Drug attitudes have changed from reasonably mature, to the current mad stigmatisation, but alcohol is not a drug, according to its modern media image. There are "Say No" campaigns for everything but booze. Just the occasional "Drink Aware" or "Use Moderation" messages in small print at the end of adverts for the drug. And they always say "... high on drink and drugs ..." as if to separate them.

Here is a simple question. What alcoholics have ever achieved great things in their lifetimes? Robbie Burns, Dylan Thomas and others were sots who could write about depression. Oliver Reed was a poor actor. Burnt out rock musicians usually frazzle out on smack and/or booze. How many rock musicians got tripped out or stoned, and produced some amazing tunes that are still played today as classics? Loads. I rest my case. We are being dumbed down with booze. Repeal all drug laws now.

By the way, have you noticed how natural drugs like maryjane and mushies are non-addictive and aid creativity, whereas man-made drugs seem to promote death and destruction. Now, there's a hint!
There are 3 types of people in this world :-

  1. Lions - know what's good and know what's bad. They steer clear of bad, and glow with inner meaning and light. Dragons are fixated by lions.
  2. Dragons - know what's good and know what's bad. They steer clear of good, and derive pleasure from abusing others who let them. They like power and have built the society we all live in.
  3. Sheep - don't know a fig and always get pushed around by lions and dragons.
All our major political figures, regardless of political party allegiance, are vetted at Bilderberger conferences by big business leaders. After such "private" events (usually held in 5 star hotels with golf courses), the corporate bigwigs turn the cogs necessary to make sure their business interests are politically protected. It's time for all this to stop. I am fed up of paying some evil bastards tax money, so that they can continue to hang nuclear arsenals above our grandchildren's heads, because some corporate bigwig wants to make some money out of human death.

(Pill taken) Isn't life grand? I mean, we've all got food, clothes and a place to live, (pill wearing off) despite that only being because we have enslaved ourselves to a corporate dictator which owns the world. Anywhere you live today, you have to pay to exist (another pill taken), and I think that's right, because how else is society supposed to hang together. It's a bad system, yet nobody's thought of a better one (pill wearing off again), but that's no excuse for not using our due intelligence to overthrow the ridiculous modern-day slave/dictator society, and replace it with a smaller community patchwork quilt of the world, using our naturally peaceful, intelligent and family-based approach to survival. It's better than having survival given to you on a plate, with the strings attached of working for an invisible master, and then you spending you whole life complaining about aspects of it.

Fuck their pills, let's not vote at general or local elections, nationally. That'll deliver our message of dissatisfaction - we don't want any of them.
Anachronism is causing human schism in the modern world - again! We all need to abandon traditions and customs, and start to live an ideologically dynamic lifestyle, where your beliefs from birth to death, are in constant flux. I don't like being told what I can and cannot draw, because of some ancient law in some ancient book somewhere. Grow up! We are the only species which enforces stupid laws on our kids early on in their lives. The 7-day week, 3 meals a day, competitiveness instead of compassion, and religion of any traditional form, are all anachronisms, IMO.
It is quite possible that, due to the interconnectedness of the universe, and the presence of highly conscious whales and dolphins on this planet for the past 40 million years, their songs brought about the changes in our ancestors' DNA to create us - humans only a quarter of a million years ago!
Have you noticed how most dictatorship-compliant people constantly spiritually refer to a "hole"? Has it anything to do with the liquids they consume the most willingly: petrOL and alcoHOL?
Most people have the opinion that because "people are intrinsically evil" and "money rules the world", there is nothing you can do about the status quo of humans over-populating the planet and wiping out most other life here, probably to the point where we wipe ourselves out too. Since nearly everyone only does things for society if they are paid to do so, and then only begrudgingly and poorly, the world never improves and the same old problems persist. The solution is so easy, it is not surprising that it will never see the light of day. Simply be nice, and do things because they improve the future for life on this planet, without needing remuneration. Do it because it feels good, not because you get paid to.
Some twatty "leaders" decide to push human emotion to a divisive racism through the mass media, and then pushes its agenda of Middle East destabilisation to the point of antagonism and war. They are few and we are many. Their opinions no longer count in my life. They are unimportant and my family and friends are. They do not receive my vote of approval, and I don't want them to have any say in my life ever again. It is that simple, and if everyone thought that way, we couldn't be led up the garden path so easily. Change minds!

If everyone changes their mind and realises how they are being shafted everyday of their lives, they would not stand for another govt. lie. Look at recent events in Hungary! If everyone thought differently, there would not be a war, because nobody would go round killing strangers because of (usually indoctrinated and based on traditions) idiotic schemes in their heads. If everyone had independence of thought and a modicum of active imagination, then dangerous mass opinion and emotion would be things of the past. Whenever I see massive groups of people all looking for someone to show them the way, I cringe.

First, you have to change your notion of what "reality" is. It is not the scientific atom collection that we are taught at school, like we are not merely bags of chemicals. Something about the nature of the space-time continuum upon which this universe is constructed, causes life to form within it. This is not random chance (as scientists and nihilists would like you to believe - despairing humans are easier to control), but a by-product of the physical laws of the universe. Not the laws in a brain somewhere, but laws that make the universe the mysterious and wondrous place it truly is. Laws we can never describe because, like a dog chasing its own tail, our brains are products of these laws, and can never encompass them as a result.

If enough people change their minds about what they expect for their great grandchildren, and wake up to the fact that military spend is too much of a proportion of our taxes, then things will change for the better. But the people themselves must change.

Change the mindset of humans, and humans will have a different society. We need a mental revolution, not a physical one.

You see, if it were a common mental attitude, that technology is not to be used to produce things that would hurt or maim or kill, but only to enhance and benefit, then they wouldn't go and work in a weapons factory to produce the landmines that will blow their great grandchildren's legs off. Not even at gunpoint. Not even if they were starving to death and this was the only way to get food. That's the way it should be. People would rather die than kill. That's where we need to get to, but that means a huge blow to most people's egos. I've had mine and I'm better for it. If our govt. asked me to join the army, I wouldn't. If they threatened me with death otherwise, I'd go to my death (but with an almighty struggle - mark my words). But I will not pick up a gun and shoot someone I don't know because some fat-arsed banker needs the dough, or some Satanic-ritual-attending politician says that it is the right thing to do.

If everyone entertained these attitudes, we would get an army filled with mindless zombies who like being told what to do their whole lives, and have no morals or ethics. Oh, we already have that ....
There are many ideas as to how our taxpayers money should have been spent in the past, and "defence" in the form of an arsenal of deadly weapons, is not my idea of "good spending". Manufacturing weapons using taxpayers' money, and making profit from them by selling them abroad to nefarious dictatorships like Iraq, is a sin.
Society is really stupid. That is obvious from things like :-

  1. The planet is full of Cannabis but humans frantically try to spray chemicals to prevent its growth, stigmatise its recreational use, and devise "laws" that threaten users with punishment. Did God make a mistake when the botanical list for Earth was drawn up? No. So, it is humans who are wrong. I have already argued that if the plant is so dangerous as to be made illegal globally (and some countries are very strict about this), then why aren't more dangerous plants like Deadly Nightshade illegal too? You can easily prove that Deadly Nightshade is harmful to man, but it is not so easy to prove that Cannabis is. And this global ban is so recent. What is going on here?
  2. God made us in the form we are, so why is nudity such an affront to people's sensibilities globally? Apart from sexual obsession to the point of insanity, human nudity should be considered in exactly the same light as animal nudity - totally natural. Choose any country and work out what would happen to you if you walked naked in a busy area. UK - arrest for indecent exposure, unless it's a streak, but you'll still be "restrained". US - Death Row immediately under the Patriot Act with no trial.
These 2 examples show "crimes" with no victim apart from the poor, conditioned wretch who cannot think for himself, and thinks instead in clich‚s, learnt from a mass media source. There is no evidence that either cause harm. In the "nudity" case, only sexual obsession (see a naked body implies sexual titillation, when it really implies nothing at all) can cause the offence/distraction/accident or whatever that may befall someone from seeing someone else in the nude. In the "pot" case, despite tobacco having a much worse and provable health risk, they still allow cigs globally, and there is no penalty for smoking them apart from the harm done to yourself. Why is it not the same for good old Mary Jane?

Answering these questions for yourself (mass media will not do so, ever) will open many doors and cause a lot of speculation on your behalf. Sensible imagination is the best guide. My own conclusions (unfounded with concrete evidence) point to a global "mash up human consciousness" conspiracy. Keeping us pliant and inert, means we are easy to control.

When you get stoned, you go beyond these bounds spiritually, and you quite often see what's wrong with society, and ways of improving it. This is not "allowed" and hence the global ban.

Being naked does not imply that you want sex, so why do the majority of conditioned morons always jump to the same conclusion? Why is it constantly shown as "normal" to start pointless attempts at covering yourself with your hands, if you find yourself naked in a social context? By keeping nudity illegal, they maintain the obsession with the human body, that blinds us to the truth about us - hairless peaceful apes. Sex may be a pleasant recreational activity, but its main function is procreation, so why all the conditioned obsession with it? To keep people distracted and distractible.

Malleable sheeple will not shake off these evil profiteers from controlling our lives for their benefit. We need people who are willing to stand up for their rights as intelligent apes on a ball of rock in space. We currently have tedious, repetitive wimps.
These "power puppets" seem so mighty and unassailable that we are doomed to experience their form of "justice" whatever we do, and however we vote.

What I am proposing is much simpler :-

1) Do not vote 2) Brew your own beer 3) Avoid using petrol 4) Only smoke marijuana 5) Live in small, self-sufficient communes

Without any money, these "power puppets" will not be able to pay police and military persons to hassle you. They will also not be able to form a government (no mandate) and so a "fairer" coalition will have to be invoked, while the last vestiges of "demoncrazy" are phased out. It is that simple.
If we could somehow marry up the wonderful civilisation perspective the ancients used to have, and our modern technology, we could be onto a really pleasant place to be born into, if you're any creature, not just humans.

We've been mollycoddled for so long, we fear losing the comforts to which we've become accustomed. This state of fear becomes pervasive, especially in Western civilisations. A kind of friendly paranoia, rather than friendliness. Belligerence and luxury have cost us dearly. We are sorry for our forebears.
Where do you get the idea that we should remain forever so "industrial", needing all this non-replaceable energy all the while? Society undoubtedly has to change.
I am beginning to notice how the people who are the most insistent on sanity or normality, are precisely the ones who look the most mad!
We have to convince a massive amount of people that the towers were demolished by pre-planted explosives. That seems as difficult a task as convincing people that what they see on TV is not always fact - the majority of human beings on this planet are illiterate, innumerate slobs with no regard for "truth" at all. They expect society to give them a life, and expect their "truth" to be delivered through the mass media.
The truth is that humans are very special conscious life forms, and we have powers that transcend science. However, the "controllers" do not want plebs to realise this. So, they condition us with false religion (in early times), and false science (modern times). It should be obvious that, as soon as we opened the atom, and found nothing "solid" therein coupled with observation changing the observed at this level, that everything is an illusion created by consciousness. Time to wake up and believe what you like, not what is commonly accepted, I think! As long as your beliefs do not harm or inconvenience anyone else, you can believe what you like.
People are so used to swallowing lies, they even excuse politicians' life-taking indiscretions as "normal behaviour for a politician"!
I remain extremely sceptical about aliens ever having physically visited this planet. Unless they could completely subvert the laws of universal physics (ie. that there is a space-time continuum which enables matter and energy to exist at all), how would they travel millions of light years to arrive here? They would be millions of years old by the time they arrived! I am of the ilk that believes spiritual (astral) travelling is possible to those who are "open" to it. I have visited many planets and seen different life forms on some of these, in my imagination. The problem with our "scientific" age is that everyone wants irrefutable proof of things, otherwise they are mere fantasy and not worth the time or trouble, unless you are very young! I prefer to avoid the trap of being an "adult" and have a freer mind, which requires little proof, and sets no store by anything conjured up by my thoughts or opinions! Think for fun, not for vain attempts to accurately encompass universal complexity with our feeble minds. Doing the latter is like a dog chasing its own tail, since it is the universe our very atoms are part of, so please accept that some complex arrangement of these atoms (our brains) could not possibly describe their superset! It may be fun trying though!
I am sure we have powers that transcend Newtonian mechanics - and that's how they built the pyramids. We are born into a society which dictates that you either finance and prop up the "war machine" (military/corporate/political amorphous structure with no soul) by accepting stupid and "out of thin air" norms like the 7-day week (Why 7? What's natural about 7? Why should we accept artificial fixed periodic cycles in our lives?), 3 meals a day (I'll eat when I'm hungry, thankyou), and freedom of leader choice in the form of heavily financed and vetted candidates who you wouldn't trust to babysit your kids, let alone have their finger hovering over the big red button! Our taxes pay for weapons that kill and maim kids all over the world every day, because our govt. sells arms it makes to regimes who have bloody murder in their minds, but our MPs don't mind their attitude if it makes them money (when are we going to stop voting for these freaks - both Bush and Blair got successive terms despite 911 and Iraq!).

So, in 2012, when illusory (projected) aliens appear out of the sky above Stratford stadium, come down to Earth, and announce that we are a product of their genetic engineering (a cross between them and apes or something), and that they are our Gods, and then demonstrate what we would regard as godly powers (some telekinesis or something, which I can do anyway!), and all our previous religions were based on their appearances on this planet historically, we'll swallow the illusion hook, line and sinker. They then disappear off the planet, while our politicians revamp the global religious model through education and text book rewrites! Governments will then control the hearts and minds of all mankind, and he will be made to manufacture his own death in the form of a nerve gas that goes wrong or something. The politicians and their brown noses will be safe underground while the rest of humanity gags to death on the surface. The rats resurface and have the planet to themselves... Perhaps, but not if I have my way and everyone wakes up and stops voting for anyone (we don't need leaders any more, because we have instant access to any empowering information). Perhaps "911 is a provable hoax" will be the realisation that kick-starts a revolution in people management around the world. I hope so. A few sinister apes with aching coke habits and a incessant hankering for the abuse of young girls, should not be running countries.
In reply to a forum post at Nine Eleven UK:-

"Bush, Cheney, Blair and their ilk" are puppets to those who control the money. That's why political perspective has never, and will never, change anything in human society. This would have happened had Clinton been in power - you cannot stop those financial cogs turning. If you had enough money to pay off muscle, judges, politicians and other "business" people, would the power go to your head?!? Getting rid of the puppets is probably exactly what these corporations like Carlyle would want us to do. It leaves them off the hook yet again: note how society is currently structured in such a manner, that to incriminate those who profit by war, who have this much money and power, is nigh on impossible. :x
As far as 911 is concerned, WTC1 and 2 were definitely controlled demolitions. Whether planes flew into the towers or not, is irrelevant, since such massive structures could not be brought down by a couple of light aluminium aircraft. If the planes were "disguised missiles", that would not make any difference to the fact that the towers crumbled, when they were designed to handle 13,000,000 tons of wind shear force, and should not have crumbled at all. If there were nuclear devices detonated in the towers, that would explain the phenomenal temperatures achieved therein, and still registered 5 days later by infra-red satellite.

So, it seems we have to convince a massive amount of people that the towers were demolished by pre-planted explosives. That seems as difficult a task as convincing people that what they see on TV is not always fact - the majority of human beings on this planet are illiterate, innumerate slobs with no regard for "truth" at all. They expect society to give them a life, and expect their "truth" to be delivered through the mass media. This species is doomed ...
I have great great grandparents in my family tree who lived in Palestine/Israel at the turn of the 20th century, and from their records, there was generally peace and understanding between the Arabs and the Jews - they used to help each other out, and respect each other's religion. They fully realised they were moulded from the same "clay". Now a hotch-potch of hate has been drummed up using the recent memories of atrocities past.

I believe it is the government's responsibility to educate the voters with enough moral understanding and scientific knowledge, that they can form balanced, and well-founded opinions and conclusions about circumstances. They are woefully failing in that duty globally, as evidenced by people's widespread propensity to base opinion on emotions rather than facts.
There's human overpopulation wherever you look on this planet. I know humans are supposed to be gregarious, but this population level is pushing the definition a bit far. I am sure humans need solitude and company in equal measures - they are not getting enough of the former, and so we get a humanist society. Everyone thinks and exists in a totally human fabrication (mentally and physically) to the exclusion of all other species. We need to go out into the wild on our own, and contemplate our belly-buttons for a few hours a week!
Am I one of the very few who feel that every human on this planet, should be DNA-scanned, Iris-scanned, Fingerprint-scanned, and electronically-tagged, with all results and monitoring done on a global basis, and all stored on a PUBLIC central database (on the Internet and freely readable by ANY browser). After all, if you've got nothing to hide, what's the problem? My way would prevent nearly all crime being wrongly attributed. It is probably for this reason that governments around the world do not want to implement such measures, and are relying on the "Freedom" lobbyists to prevent them being made real. After all, lots more politicians would be found guilty if these systems became extant!
Whatever it takes to pitch man against man, despite us all being bald apes, whatever ideas we may entertain about our common reality. Patriotism, religion, tradition and political/corporate alliance are the vehicles they use to fool us passive, peace-loving, family-orientated apes into fighting each other. I just don't get fooled any more. Come on everyone, stop believing the hype. Take a good look at yourself physiologically - we are sensitive, tender, and gentle in the flesh - not exactly a rhino - so why do we go round maintaining that we are "so hard"?
An easier way to stamp out the small arms trade is to stop all manufacture of them. Tear down the gun factories. If I was working in a weapons factory, I would rather leave and starve for a bit, than manufacture anonymous death. Again, people's stupidity and short-sightedness means they perceive the problem, but cannot see the obvious way to prevent it occurring.
We are being constantly deluded that the current imbalanced world is a sustainable and long- term solution to the burgeoning "clever bald ape" population. I also get the feeling that this planet is too full of bald apes, and their propensity to put each other and themselves down all the while, stems from the associated feeling of unimportance and insignificance.

Man is currently playing at God, and yet he has only just discovered the basics of genetics. The long-term repercussions of screening an embryo for Muscular Dystrophy are, as yet, unknown, and it's the created human who will have to suffer lifelong, if we have overlooked something (which, with the chemical complexity of genetics, is inevitable - look at what happened to the cross between a goat and a sheep).

Medicine should have stopped at anti-biotics, IMHO. People should realise that when their time has come, it is no use frantically trying to delay the inevitable with Western medical techniques.
I stated :-
Countries are becoming anachronistic, along with jingoism, national pride, and country/culture identification. In the UK, we have many football supporters who are not backing England, but are siding with their whims and fancies. That is a good thing. When countries are correctly perceived as man-made divisions of man from man, we'll all be better off for it. One world, one species - that's the way I see it.

J. Alexander replied :-
Did you mean, "one world, - no species?" As the old saying goes, a good fence makes good neighbors. Remove the "man-made" divisions of man from man and you get a recipe for total destruction. You see, people of diverse cultures are historically most interested in hating each other, that is, when they are not killing each other. If loving one's neighbor were natural, there wouldn't be a need for a commandment; courts would be empty, and lawyers would starve to death.

I replied :-
You're still thinking too much in human terms. You are still "humanist". This is one beautiful planet, and we are merely bald apes on its surface. We have been a particularly successful species, due to our large brain size, and yet we have reached a point in our development where everyone can see that if we continue on our path, we will be assured M.A.D. under tyrannical democracies.

We have to re-educate ourselves and our children to use compassion rather than competition, love all species rather than just humans and anything cuddly and harmless, and to live in small communities rather than sprawling massive cities. We either ease back on the course we are heading down, or we end up in a cheapskate technopolis where governments are only concerned about your identity and consumer habits.

I apologise for my "aliens orbiting the earth" perspective on things.
Imagine a group of wealthy, powerful people whose sole endeavour is total world domination and control. Imagine that these people were ruthless and without conscience. If this group had many Jews (amongst others), who weren't averse to the wholesale slaughter of Jews, then WW2 would have been a good staging post for their new style antics. The West's most powerful and elite were notorious for funding Hitler during the war (for example, DeBeers in London supplying diamonds to Hitler for weapons manufacture), and with a few Jews heading the lineup, these rich bastards would be beyond suspicion. What a clever plan! They also make loads of money out of it. This practice is all too common nowadays (for example, the UK and the US supplying parts to Iraq for weapons, and then invading the country) and companies like Halliburton and the Carlyle Group are riding high on the gains from recent civil turmoil.
For most humans :-
  • It is commonly acceptable to believe that God is real and exists and controls things.
  • It is commonly unacceptable (you'd be classified as a loony) to believe that Lucifer is real and exists and controls things.

    I think both are bad enough, in terms of fairy stories! Whatever is out there (if anything) that is "bigger" than us, isn't worth us worrying about. By definition, it would be beyond our consciousness to perceive or imagine. Let's just keep on stretching out, chasing galaxies.
    I do not entertain beliefs that I would stand up and die (or fight) for. No "thought" is ever worth it. That's what I mean by "Get real!" Thoughts are only brief moments of consciousness of one form or another. When we stop taking our consciousness so seriously, and stop believing us to be unique in the universe in having it (just look at other species on our own planet to see!), then we might start making some progress. In the meantime, we have to live in a crass, stultified society where the majority are happy to spend their existences scrabbling around for reasons to justify their indoctrinated evil intentions.

    The human being (like any other life form) is deluded because they only have an array of senses to tell them what is out there, and these are insufficient to describe what is out there. The truth is perceived without your senses, but society is just a mass market for your senses, and you are taught from birth that the only reality is what is revealed by your senses. That's poppycock! Freedom of mind and imagination is all you need to "see" in other ways that are just as natural as your 5 senses. No imagination training is given in any Western school I know of, save the Krishnamurti institutes.

    Mainstay society is a mess and it needs rewriting from scratch.
    I get worried when I see a church congregation of self-professed sensitive, intelligent people, all bowing their heads down at the same time and murmuring rubbish, just 'coz a priest at the front says do it. It's not just that though - they put their hands together and believe that some "extra-terrestrial" entity they call "God" is going to listen to them, and understand English (or whatever language they choose to p[r]ay in). They make peculiar signs (like the sign of the cross) and frown on others who don't. Other religions exhibit the same crass idiocy in terms of ritual, and sanctimonious or self-righteous attitude.

    What is really perturbing is that so many modern, empirically-educated Westerners are still doing these antiquated practices. It now looks like these people only do this because of fear of ostracisation, or that others do it, therefore, the sheeplike creature they are must also do it.

    The spiritual guidelines laid out by many religions are usually excellent. For example, nobody can complain about the efficacy for successful communal living imbued by the ten commandments. But, elsewhere, there are so many contradictory statements, that even, for example, the Bible fails to make any sense.

    It is time for institutionalised religion to disappear up its own fundamental orifice. And that isn't IMO.

    I'm worried 'coz I have to live amidst these deluded, (in my books) totally mad, and dangerous idiots. They are the majority. I mean, there is a long history of these idiots picking up a gun and shooting strangers because of these unfounded beliefs. I don't mind beliefs if they are safe and harmless, but institutionalised religion has always been a real danger to the future survival of mankind. But, don't worry - the icing on the cake is that, if you die, you aren't really dead - oh no, your soul (?) ascends to heaven (??) where you are judged by St. Peter (???) as to whether you end up in hell (????) instead. And I thought Judaism was the most stupid religion in the world. Jeez! Seriously humans, wake up now, or blow yourselves up because of differing ideas in your heads - you really are the most dangerously deluded species on the planet.
    The same problem is facing every voter in a modern democracy - they never put forward candidates for election who you would gladly vote for, based on their merits (both familial and communal). Every one of them has some problem or some corrupt aspect, which makes what they stand for nothing but lip-service to a pipe dream. I live in the UK and at the last general election my ward did not have any independent candidates at all to choose from - just the 3 major political parties, none of whom stand for what I want (cessation of all present and future military activities globally). So, I couldn't vote. I asked my Mum in a completely different ward, and she said that she had the same pitiful choice of the 3 major parties, and nobody else to choose from. In my books, that is not a democracy - that is enforced dictatorship through financial throttling of who can stand.
    Wouldn't it be easier to enforce some global common sense into all humans born from today onwards: things like :-

  • We are all hairless apes on a ball of rock in space. I am, and so is the queen, and Tony Blair and your boss and ... At that level we are all equal. Make sure you know this one at all times, but especially when the stress levels seem to be rising.
  • As a species with directed consciousness, we are physically, emotionally, and spiritually, very powerful. We must have a lot more respect for the repercussions of our actions. Noting this, we should also be able to forgive quickly and easily, where others may overstep the mark.
  • Everyone has a different religion. Institutionalised religion is a set of beliefs based on history, tradition and what has happened before now. This ignores God's demands in the present. Using the past to justify present actions is no justification at all. You must use the future repercussions of your actions as guidance for what you are doing now. Those repercussion considerations may well be based on what happened in the past, but they are almost always devoid of vindictiveness.

    and so on... These should be taught in schools globally so we can improve society through wisdom.
    It is becoming ever more apparent that the major Western democracy leaders have been trying to turn what was essentially a peaceful post WW2 period, into a turbulent "terrorist threat" world situation. As someone commented on the reasons cited for war in Iraq, "It's because we want freedom for the Iraqis. Freedoms which now include, not being able to protest near Parliament (without police consent), cause they want to live in their own little bubble and not hear any dissent if possible." Thank goodness one person managed to secure protest rights within half a mile of the houses of parliament - thanks Brian Haw, a man I feel would do justice to the Nobel peace prize. He managed to set up his protest placards before the new UK laws forbidding it. "Democracy" is full of hypocrisy. The UK's 7/7 remembrance ceremony is a prime example of the double standards entertained by those who think their thoughts are the absolute truth for everyone - politicians. To tell you the truth, I am fed up with politicians. A consensus of opinion is what established stable democracies round the world, post WW2. Modern governments are now secretly insular and play by whim, rather than cooperation. Now we are in "terrorist threat" times, despite all the fallacies our elected leaders spin in order to deceive us (the electorate) into believing our way is the right way, as opposed to the fictitious monsters they dream up to pump out through the major media outlets. It all smacks of a gigantic Satanic conspiracy, where our world leaders do anything to stop world peace arriving. For some of us more enlightened non-voting populace, we are already there.
    With respect to the Danish Muslim cartoon controversy and the threat of anti-Semitic and anti-Christian cartoons coming from Muslims. All I can say is, they'd be hard-pressed to shock us westerners with anything consisting of ink on paper. Our open and modern society makes a mockery of most religiously indoctrinated regimes around the world, and rightly so. Many of us in the western world have been fortunate enough to have had a fairly modern upbringing, with plenty of access to intelligent, rather than propagandist, literature and resources. Lambaste, witty ridicule, and clever sarcasm are regarded as comedic art forms. But, somehow I feel we're floundering in west. We've come a long way, but now superstition is starting to overtake fact, and, globally, opposing sides are forming. The intelligent westerner sees this as a fallacy in the scientific system which constructed it, and there's nothing that can be done to put things right. However, we must realise that history and tradition are worthless in our current climes. We have to move forward at an exponentially increasing rate towards enlightenment. Then we'll be able to see that we are one species (called humans) all together on a ball of rock in space, and that we have to develop better ways of ensuring inter-community harmony. It's all in the mind at the end of the day. Let your problems melt away on that note.
    I wish people would wake up and stop taking ideas so "concretely". They are, after all, abstracted states of mind, not "the be and end all". They are fun to navigate, and you never know where a conversation, article or abstraction may end up. There are so many non-verbal abstractions that cannot easily be communicated, but they happen all the time during social intercourse. They are mostly based on pre-programmed instincts and social acceptance through direct consciousness. Most people are unaware of them. Instead, the appearance of strength, honour, freedom and love is maintained through force. Hence, the "house of cards" society we now all share.
    If your religion requires you to use objects outside of your body, in order to accomplish your religious worship, then you are dangerously deluded. Religion is internal, and when it is externalised, it becomes bigotry and indoctrination.
    Life creates its own macrocosm from the microcosm of its own biochemistry, which, itself, is a part of the macrocosm. And so, like a dog chasing its own tail, those life forms in the universe that attempt explanation of everything with the limited equipment they have been evolved with, always fail, become bitter, self-entrenched, and ultimately kill their own species off. Stop trying to explain everything. Live a little instead of analysing others living.
    What? You mean that humans are rubbish and don't really care about anyone else, even when elected to do so. What's new? It's been like this since human "leaders" came into existence. A true leader should not want to lead, but to set an example of how not to push people around! However, no matter how much spleen I vent, people always end up voting these hypocritical morons back into office, and then the voters give them all their hard-earned money in the form of taxes, so these elected representatives can go and fight another war on their behalf, irrespective of public opinion and protests. How much longer can this continue before people wake up to these facts, and start choosing the right persons to lead them? Well, that depends on the level of Western world comfort that can be commonly sustained. If that goes too low, a revolution follows, and then new leaders (who become exactly like the ones they replaced) come into power. If the comfort levels stay the same or improve (Western world electorate are commonly clothed, fed and sheltered without any daily struggle) then the status quo is preserved. In the meantime, for some reason quite unbeknownst to me, the 21st century technological era still keeps over one third of the world population struggling every day to find food, clothes and shelter.

    Yes, our current political system is really working well. Isn't it?!?

    Please refrain from voting mainstream political parties into power. STOP IT NOW. They have consistently shown themselves to be wholly inadequate historically. We, the electorate, can change all that at the very next election, but we all need to act together.
    Any symbolic rewarding of a good act by using some tradition soaked in the brutality of war, is definitely a "kiss of death" in my books.
    Even the intelligentsia are currently far removed from true wisdom. As I have said before, those with the attitude "But there's nothing we can do about it anyway, so what's the point?" cannot possibly believe that they live in a democracy. They must somehow accept a mild form of fascism as their government, if they believe there is nothing they could do about their state of affairs.
    Look, you pay your taxes to your govt. who then go and spend it on making things to hurt people with, in the name of "defence". If you really don't want your money spent that way, then do not vote for the mainstream political parties. Arnie walked right into their "club" and was all too quickly comfortably ensconced in their throes. Politicians are always too stupid or uncaring to understand that, once you have huge nuclear deterrents, there is no need for another cent to be spent on building yet more human-hurting machines.

    You see, I am not anti-government for the sake of it. I am anti-government because they treat the majority of the electorate as ignorant sheep to be pushed around their whole lives long. True democracy has very few laws and a heck of a lot of communication of ideas to and from the electorate. Our demoncrazies have so many laws, there are laws contradicting other laws in the same justice system! The electorate's only input into who is running things, is choosing one from a list of 2, pre-selected candidates, who have already been screened to continue the inappropriate activities of their forebears. And since when do money and power change the outcome of a trial? Since ancient times, it seems. If all elements of a society are corrupt, there can only remain love which bonds the people together. In the last hundred or so years, government ministers have been investigating ways of infiltrating and subverting this love. We can all see the loveless society that is slowly coming to fruition all around us. The family unit is now regarded as an anachronism. For the first time ever, London has more people living solo lives, than couples or families!

    Be Insignificant - Vote Mainstream.
    The programmed masses put GWB in the Whitehouse. There is no way sensible, intelligent, caring, moral, up-standing citizens would vote for him. The ignorant "TV mind swill" set gave him his ill-deserved power, which he currently abuses better than most Pol Pots!

    Here is how the situation came about. The moral fabric of those in power a hundred years ago was no better than what we've got today. However, if the electorate had found out what they really got up to behind closed office doors, they would not have voted for them at all. They did not find out, because the press was not as quick and all-intrusive as they are nowadays. They did not have the internet or "independent press" so they could never get hold of "facts".

    In more recent times, those in power saw the up and coming technologies and how they would impact on their social image. The internet was something they could do little about, and news editors seemed determined to bring scandal onto the front pages ever more quickly. So, they changed the moral landscape so significantly, that most people have forgotten the difference between good and bad, or they simply do not care any more about it. In post-Victorian times, people were almost wholly concerned with the morals and ethics of a person. Nowadays, if someone can ignore horrific ideas, be indifferent to corruption and scandal at the highest levels, and turn a blind eye to violence if it's "in a good cause", they are socially acceptable and not otherwise. If they can't, then they must be a "subversive" or a "dangerous liberal". Sorry, but we just think you're ignorant - dangerously ignorant!
    There's a suspicion that Ebola was man-made: the earliest documented infection is 1976. All I can say is, while man continues to strive for ever more harmful things to do to his own species, these things will always trouble us. Why don't we elect people who simply will not let this happen any more? Politicians who do not want to spend our taxpayers' money on researching new diseases to infect mankind with (bio-warfare). Politicians who do not want to find new ways of harming humans in the name of "defence". Politicians who will not tolerate lies, cheating, bribery, or corruption in any form at the highest levels of power. Politicians who are good role models in their personal lives, for the rest of us. Politicians who are not into "genetic engineering", or "anti-terrorism measures" that restrict democratic freedoms. Politicians who want to spend our money on improving infrastructure, public health and education. Politicians who want to pay teachers, doctors and emergency services workers the wages they deserve (and that's more than BT's fat, idle chairman).

    I think you get the point. We (the electorate) have not pushed democracy to where we want it. It has been shaped for us by hundreds of years of traditional lunacy by those already in power.
    Imagine a typical scene in the pub, chatting up girls. I've drunk loads, and bought her quite a bit too. Now she wants me (oops, I tripped over her guide dog there) and we go back to her place, but I can't get it up because I'm too poisoned. Or I can get it up, but the feelings and emotions are all blurred and confused through alcohol poisoning. The climax is a disappointment since all my feelings are so dulled. What a complete waste of time, money and resources. And now, there's a sprog 9 months down the line who no-one wants. This is your lives. Mary Jane will make everything all right. Stop poisoning yourselves and paying Satanists (govts.) for the privilege to do so.
    From a newsgroup thread entitled "Pres. Mahmoud 'Al-Looney' Ahmadinejad just can't help himself..." :-

    Otto : Don't be so hard on poor Mahmoud: The poor schmuck made all those promises about improving the lot of the poor people. That got him elected and now he finds he can't fulfill those promises. What is a politician to do? Saber rattling and morality are the time honored ploys under those circumstances, he is not the first to use those ploys. Of course, Israel has a fairly short fuse, so how long will it take before bombs are falling?

    Mark : Well put. So, the stage is set, and lead roles have been allocated. Now to the action, and the script reads that the Middle East will become a quagmire of vicious war, with technology-fuelled killing-machines eradicating far more people than any side expects. After this one (WW3), it will take a long time for the radioactive dust to settle. A lot of world leaders are going to be asking themselves a lot of soul-searching questions. The answers have all been known since time immemorial. Love, compassion and gentle caring for all members of your species, irrespective of their beliefs, ethnicity or telepathic orientation. After the lull, our duly-elected leaders will make all the same mistakes all over again, and, by the time WW4 arrives, the "human-killing technology" will be so far advanced, we may wipe our species (and possibly many others) off the planet entirely. So, we have to change our ways in order to fulfill our natural instinct for survival. Why are we so far off-track as a species?

    At the end of the day, nearly all socially-conditioned humans are in denial, especially when it comes to telepathy. This is why their reality is so out of kilter with actuality. It is also why human belief structures are so rigid and dogmatic. Instinct for survival tells you that adaptability is your best chance, so why does the system make so many inflexible morons to fill society with? Why so many inert people, who can only stand and stare, while the world and their lives whiz past them, with their guilt-laden, lazy inaction their punishment?
    Did Christianity die out when science discovered so many things that countered what the bible stated? People are stupid and have stupid beliefs. If we stopped pushing so many ill-founded ideas down children's throats when they're at school, and teach them that all belief structures are "houses of cards" which crumble at the merest contra-evidence, then they should grow up balanced and able to reason properly. As soon as you adopt any belief structure, you are on the rocky road to bigotry. Ideas are not reality. Beliefs about the way reality works should not be set in stone. If there is no room for fundamental change in a belief structure (like in science), then that is the start of opinion and the end of accurate description.
    This Flash Animation inspired these thoughts :-

    I told a similar story to friends when I was 10 years old. That viewpoint is quite a revelation. What are we doing here on Earth? Why do most of us know nothing about our purpose? Why are there a few people (like me and others I have met) who know that "common sense reality" is an illusion, and what is true is dynamic, not static? How come so few members of a species so intelligent, can see our lives from a planet orbit perspective? For example, am I the only one to see that, when it is New Year, the homo sapiens species is a joke - as the ball of rock called Earth reaches a certain point in its journey around the sun, all members of this species go mad for a few hours, because tradition dictates it! If traditions, history and ritual are making you all so stupid as to not be able to see this clearly, then why not abandon them? After all, they don't exist except in your heads.

    There are definitely 2 camps of belief system occurring in the human species. Those who believe that their 5 senses tell them everything they need to know about the world, and those who believe that nothing is set in stone in this universe, and that perception can transcend the limited sensory capabilities we are physiologically imbued with. The latter camp is much smaller than the former, but it is the former that believe in financing war machines through taxation, and the former that blind themselves to fact that their money is being used by their "democratically-elected" ministers to kill innocent Iraqi women and children.

    I am no angel, in that I pay taxes to Blair, and he uses them to kill people who I would rather have liked to see happy and alive. But, at least I do not excuse my behaviour with trite statements like "Well, there's nothing I can do about it." or "Everyone else is doing it, so it can't be wrong.". By being honest about my true role on the planet, I feel initially pain (ego crumbles), followed by enlightenment (learning that you never stop learning etc.) followed by peace and being at one with yourself. Not "stressed out and unable to figure out anything to the depth required to fully understand it".
    Sorry, but there are more sides to this coin than just 2. Evolution and Intelligent Design are not the only ways of looking at it. How about a universe whose "physical" laws favoured the evolution of intelligent life within it? The universe's design and creation are "beyond the scope of our consciousness" simply because the consciousness we are using to try to ascertain what created us, is a manifestation of these "benign" laws. We are chasing our own tails, to put it figuratively. All we can conclude is nobody is ever going to produce "the ultimate theory" that explains life, the universe, and everything. So, let's stop bickering about things we'll never have definitive proof about anyway. No one is right!
    In response to the discovery that some Shias (Jafaris) believe that someone fell down a well in the 9th century and will return to save us all. From Encarta:-
    "They believe that the 12th imam will return in the future to establish perfect justice, supplanting the rule of any other leader. This belief has undermined government authority since the establishment of Twelver Shiism as the state religion in 1501."

    It seems there are an infinite number of belief systems for people to waste their lives with. People are willing to believe ludicrous rubbish, if it's "tradition". If a belief was so important to human survival and society, it would become "genetic memory", not one in need of verbal utterance from one generation to the next.

    Keep them stupid, keep them down, keep them in the dark, keep them paying you, keep promising them "afterlife", keep on keeping on...

    AFAIK, reality is reality. Everybody has five senses, that for the most part, reveal reality to be such and such for humans (different for different species). We can all agree on what is revealed, so why all this stupidity - if someone fell down a well in the 9th century, it is unlikely we'll ever see them again. Come on now, what do you take us for - loonies!?! Perhaps "sense" is not so "common" after all!
    Feelings are short-sighted, short-lived self-gratification.
    Intelligence is foresighted, permanent altruism.

    The human world is the way it is because of its propensity towards feelings-based decision-making. It could be improved if decisions were intelligence-based instead.

    Some "feelings-based" decisions are so transparently wrong to an intelligent mind, that it is a wonder that we are still making the same errant decisions globally in the 21st century. For example, the Arab-Israeli conflict is based on "memories" of what happened in the "past", where there is one "past" for the Arabs and another for the Jews. The memories cause bitterness, which, in turn, cause violent actions to be undertaken. Those are "feelings-based" decisions, and they are what we should be intelligent enough to recognise nowadays, and to avoid taking them in the future. Traditions and history no longer play such an important role in the modern, fast-changing world we now live in.

    Here is a discussion point : was Bush's decision to invade Iraq a feelings-based decision? Did he do it because he felt like it, and it salved his belligerent side? Or is there a global government agenda the public is not privy to?

    The reason I ask is because the public have not been given one single reason for the invasion, that explains the invasion intelligently. We've been told WMD (there weren't any), oil (there is no oil crisis since earth constantly produces oil - see American Free Press Article), underground tunnels in Baghdad leading to a "Star Gate" (for those of us in conspiracy circles), and the start of enforcement of a US world dictatorship (for the grossly paranoid amongst us). None of them are at all convincing. Someone somewhere please give me an intelligent explanation as to why US and British troops are losing their lives in Iraq at the moment.
    Will we all kill each other off because of what we remember about each other, or will the idea of killing in the name of some thought or other, die out, since intelligence will stamp it out? We cannot remain this stupid for this long - can we?
    My own instincts inform me that small, self-governing communities is the way we should be living. As soon as man became "larger than life" with his huge cities and global invasive ways, something snapped in the moral mettle. Large communities or cities deface the individual to the extent of loss of pride, and a general public malaise treated as the norm. With ants, this doesn't usually cause problems, but with humans, the lack of "feeling useful" undermines the human purpose of existence - to improve the community you live in, so that you and your family and friends can enjoy a better quality of life. I don't suppose any of us working in cities for faceless corporations, could ever feel genuinely "useful".
    When it comes down to abortion, the majority of humans are misguided. Just where is this invisible line in "age" when a bunch of cells becomes an inviolable human being? According to the man in the street, only when its head has popped out of the womb. Let's just accept the miracle of life, which starts when sperm meets egg. IMHO.
    In response to this BBC news article :-

    Let's extrapolate the current trends. Physics and Chemistry will become the reserve of esoteric groups of highly secretive and privileged sects, while witchcraft (a la Harry Potter), Creationism, and general mass stupidity become the norm. Anyone demonstrating a scientific proclivity will be branded a witch and summarily executed. Philosophy and mathematics will become denizens of the brave and foolhardy, and will have to be practised "underground".

    It is exactly as if we are going back a thousand years!

    The new licensing laws in the UK should give the population plenty of time to discuss these things. But you know damn well they won't. They'll keep talking about sexual conquests and sport and cars and appearances - as shallow as it could get. Meanwhile, their very own children are getting their heads stuffed full of crap. Come on, most of modern day society technology is based on the sciences of Physics and Chemistry.

    I am convinced that the general public are getting more stupid every day that goes by in this propagandist jungle. STOP VOTING FOR LEADERS WHO MAKE THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS - STOP VOTING FULL STOP. Basically, stick their agendas up their asses.
    When someone lies, you can tell by the sentence construction. It is pitted with hesitation and distraction. If the discourse is not flowing smoothly, they are lying to you. It is that simple. Check out any politician's speech - it's worse than a stammerer with Tourette's syndrome! Some people excuse lying by stupidity. They are deliberately stupid (like a lot of people nowadays) and they don't know or care if they are lying.
    I prefer to live in a society that does not need weapons manufactured on a regular, large-scale basis, and where such manufacture is partially or wholly subsidised by the Western democracies we live in - to the tune of trillions of tax-payers' dollars. When are the tax-payers going to rise up against the idiots who squander their money on creating instruments of death for our own species!?! We are paying them to kill us!
    It's all down to supply and demand. If the public demand something that's bad for them (eg. weapons, poisons etc.), political and corporate leaders do not step back, and waive a chance to make a quick buck. No, quite the opposite. And that is what is wrong. Greed-motivated people should not be allowed to become political or corporate leaders. They are ruining the health of the good souls they are supposed to represent and protect.
    You'd be surprised at how stupid some of society's most trusted individuals are! We are talking mega-moronic here! I mean that they couldn't see further than tomorrow, and can only perceive within their own minute spheres of interest, which usually revolve wholly around themselves. That is why they are chosen for these positions in society. That is why people are so disgruntled as they enter adulthood and the realisation that mankind isn't here to serve mankind, but just himself, or you will be punished for altruism.

    I guess I'd better take that Valium now! ;-)
    Here is the Catch 22 situation :-
    1) You don't enjoy your job, and you only do it for the money, so you'll do the bare minimum that you can get away with.
    2) Service industry (or whatever) suffers, bosses lambaste you, you get ratty, so you go back to 1).

    Resultant society is cheapskate, and a cheapskate society makes for inhabitants who feel worthless. Worthless individuals in a cheapskate society mean that the society will never improve, because nobody could be bothered, and it's all too much work ...

    Now you know why I do my job as well as I can possibly do it, whatever I'm paid. I want my children to inherit a better place to live. We all need to shake off our negativity and despair, and replace it with optimism and hope. Or, at least, get a better balance between the extremes than is currently extant globally!
    "This is a toy that is used to relieve stress, it's meant to be a bit of a giggle."

    Why do people feel this way? Why are they so stressed? If they simply accepted the fact that all humans are rubbish, and their self-importance is completely unfounded, if they "got rid of their egos", we would all be living better lives. However, humans continue to act on their feelings (whether conditioned or not) rather than on natural givens and facts. This results in "no thinking" and plenty of "instinct-fuelled" actions. Perhaps I am an alien, but I just do not understand the need for "stress balls" etcetera. Now, let me phone that "grey" about the studio booking....
    "Daddy, I want to be a martyr. Can you get me an explosive belt?"

    Having seen the inculcation of anti-Semitic hate in modern-day Muslims by the education system in many Arab countries, I can safely say that the kids are being "loved in the flesh, but butchered in the mind" (lyric from Wire, 154). The same thing is happening in every country in the world, but some are far more subtle than others. At the end of the day, any education system that teaches its students nothing about compassion, and everything about competition, is psychologically damaging those students.
    Why are you so concerned about what "other people" think about you? It's not that important, and you should be living your own life, not the life that "other people" think you should be living. You'll realise this fully, when you're on your death-bed, by which time, it's too late fool.
    My point is that, the world is the way it is, due to cost-cutting, profit-seeking and blindness to the future repercussions of greedy acts. But more than just this, it is this way because it is too expensive and time-consuming, to implement something more Earth-friendly. Look at the deliberate ignorance surrounding hemp plants and their incredible usefulness to most human activities. To discriminate against a plant to the extent recent governments and corporations have, shows that logic is no longer of any use in deciding the motivations of these greedy people.
    Under no circumstances should you accept the poison in that vaccination syringe! It contains specially researched viri that attack and weaken your immune system permanently, and a small microchip implant that lodges in your brain, controlling all your emotions. Before the vaccine, you'll be a warm, loving, family man, but afterwards, you'll be a robotic zombie with no feelings apart from the ones the black forces want you to have, like greed, blood-lust, and hedonistic blindness... ;-)
    The only place for guns in this world is for hunting. For that pastime we only need shotguns with a maximum of 2 shots per loading. Also, we don't need very many of them, since there are not a lot of huntsmen out there. Hence, there is no place for "handguns" or "oozis" in this world. Nor do we need land mines, bazookas, grenades or other explosives. The only time we need explosives is for demolition of buildings, and quarrying.

    Bearing all these facts in mind, how do we account for all of the time, resources, money and effort going into building a formidable and easy to come by with dosh, arsenal consisting of weapons that deliberately target human beings, and are designed to hurt, maim and kill as much as possible, especially the soft flesh of the human being? Why are trillions of dollars being spent on researching ever more harmful ways to treat our fellow species members? We already have plenty of weapons - we don't need to manufacture any more. Also, why are stun techniques not being given the same amount of research resources as conventional nocuous weaponry? Why are tazers so infrequently used? Why did that Brazilian have to die in London recently, at the hands of armed police? They could have used a tazer (like they did a few days ago on another "out of hand" case on Heathrow's runway) to stun him to the ground if they suspected him of harbouring bombs.

    If you're on my wavelength, you'll know all the answers to these questions.
    And who defined what is a crime and what is not. The "crime rate", if it were such a magical indicator of the health of a society, would have to be defined by Nature, and not mankind. The latter, after all, thinks that Deadly Nightshade should be legal (it's poisonous, but one of many such plants on this planet) but that cannabis plants and magic mushrooms should be illegal. Where's the logic in that?
    Will the public ever wake up? Not while the "lip service" they pummel into our brains is so psychologically targeted. We would rather believe what Bush et al say, than look at facts and figures. The uneducated (majority) man's way is to believe whatever is more palatable, and that usually consists of falsehoods and distortions.

    Mankind's problem can now be more readily summarised - he's too lazy to try to think for himself, and the people he let's do the thinking for him, are the least appropriate.

    If intelligence had "ruled the roost" in the formation of this society, hemp would be central to everything - not oil and pharmaceuticals.
    If someone has a job as a seal clubber, they must be partly psycho in order to quell the internal guilt/conscience that would otherwise make their job unbearable. Going down a notch in the evolutionary chain and we meet lumberjacks. Are they partly psycho too?
    Christians are not supposed to make graven images of anything. So, that's why Christian churches are full of images of the virgin Mary (verging on the ridiculous!), Jesus, and God himself (a white male human with grey hair and a long beard, by most portrayals!). Jeez, what perplexing hypocrisy. Another irksome Biblical quote is that God made man in his own image. How completely conceited of our species to suppose that the universal creator would look anything like us. We're not even the most evolved species on the planet, yet we "believe" we are. Humans are twats!
    It seems that anything that causes pleasure to the common man/woman must be clamped down on, and stigmatised into a guilt-ridden, private practice.
    The Thames barrier is a good piece of "sand-bagging". However, the Brits have had a recent spate of flooding which have rendered towns and villages damaged and cut off. This will only get worse as the unreported shrinking of the polar caps continues, and water levels rise. The trouble is that we are not building things right now. The traditional way here in Britain, is to wait until too many people start dying from the emergency, before doing too little on the cheap about it. Blair would rather spend more money on "defence" and soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even in that respect, too little is spent and the British army end up with tanks that don't work in Iraqi conditions and rifles that jam!
    As far as the New Orleans/Katrina tragedy goes, it seems they never learn from past mistakes, as stockholders' lust for profit nips at the heels of any future-proofing extravagance that may have been undertaken. The only way to right the wrong in social infrastructure design, is to stop doing it on the cheap - unlikely in a money-orientated society.
    Cannabis has had a bad press since the 1930's, when the oil, cotton, and paper industries decided it would harm their profits, if its global and traditional usage were allowed to continue. It is now outlawed in every country - even places like Morocco, where tradition dictates an afternoon hookah pipe for most males, as has been customary practice for thousands of years! The irony is that, as we currently run the resources that provide material for the oil, cotton, and paper industries into the ground, and as stocks dwindle, the prices of all these things rise, and the companies that monopolise them, employ less people and make more profit. How much longer can this continue? Cannabis would solve all 3 resource problems at one stroke, in that it can provide each of these products. Other benefits include the prevention of soil erosion, where, for example, in Bangladesh (translates to "Land of Hashish"), the culling of cannabis plants caused country-wide soil erosion, and all the natural disaster problems that come with it. Cannabis plants have very long roots, and naturally hold soil together.

    Those who argue that cannabis consumption is the first step to the rocky world of harder drugs, are, in effect, comparing a post-prandial sherry as the slippery slope towards piss-soaked trousers in a tramp's drunken haze under Brooklyn bridge!

    World, come to your senses, and take off those "profit" glasses that taint your perception of reality so much nowadays. Most of God's earthly vegetation has some very useful properties. God hasn't made a mistake - mankind has.
    Apes are probably laughing at our ridiculous primness about nudity!
    People are under pressure from the subliminal messages rained into them by corporate marketing. After lifetimes spent growing up in this deluge, people often feel that, unless they are spending money, they cannot be "satisfied". Free activities like walking, running, jogging and swimming may be enjoyable, but they still leave that nagging feeling that you haven't satisfied some corporate's greed.
    Whether they are neocons or corporate mother-f's, the group of apolitical "controllers" seem to have no respect for planetary health, and only admiration for making a number bigger (profits). People like that are messing up the planet and its weather, with scant regard for those who live here and elected them. It is time to stop voting for any political parties, and let's see these uncaring protagonists struggle trying to appease all sides of a coalition government for the sake of profits. Ha ha ha...
    I propose that the "war-mongering" U.S. should keep their big nose out of foreign affairs. They have consistently in the past, proved how woefully they conduct themselves on foreign soils, and their WASP supremacy attitude constantly belittles the dark-skinned inhabitants of the "U.S.-conquered" lands. During the slavery years, Yanks forcibly took millions of Africans from their homes, and made them work in the States for no wages. They received harsh, cruel treatment from most of their "keepers". The blacks were regarded as second class citizens, and this attitude is still present in certain WASP circles. I am fed up with it, and America's belligerent foreign policy is now threatening my own livelihood, in that bombs killed people on London's underground, because some Moslem Brits sympathised with the Arab plight and objected to America's foreign pursuits.

    There are many people who won't believe that the situation is terminally bad, until it is much too late to do anything about it. Surely, they realise now that it is not right for a Western democracy like the U.S. or the U.K. to arm a dictator with "old hat" weapons on favourable loan terms, and then attack it with their latest technologies?!? Surely...
    Any organisation that condones and supports manufacture of weapons, over the safety of their voters, is wholly evil. That means all governments around the world are evil, in that they put investment in "defence" above the well-being of their populaces.
    It surprises me just how many Coca Cola plants have had reports of "too much DDT" in their water and final product. It seems as if there is a secret and harshly defended system in place inside Coca Cola, which attempts the mass, slow poisoning of mankind. I like the occasional (once a month) drink of Coke, but, like McDonalds, that's it. Home-grown food is the only stuff you can trust nowadays. Supermarket "fresh" vegetables and fruit are all highly irradiated, and this causes chemicals to form in them that are harmful to human health.
    I'm worried, especially with us mashing up the ionosphere with HAARP. I'm sure that the balance imbued by the ionosphere to atmospheric conditions and the weather, is much more far-reaching and subtle than these HAARP scientists suspect. Not that any of them care about their great grandchildren's future, just how to get money to feed themselves now, is what is making them do these mad things.
    For the perpetrators of the recent London bombings, look no further than the totalitarian government that rules this planet, readying Britain for more stringent security checks on the general public, just like they did the WTC attack to force-feed the US public the 2 Patriot Acts (the irony of words - "Patriot" - huh!- it should be "Fascist"). It's time to lose the illusion that we live in civilised democracies, and see our "democratically elected" world leaders for the Satanic swine they truly are. Two words - Bohemian Grove - A Real Media interview with Alex Jones (5.1 MB, 7m 41s) about the failed, attempted cover-up of what really happens at Bohemian Grove - Jeez, our leaders engage in mock throat-slitting and filling coffins with Nazi memorabilia. I certainly wouldn't want them as my neighbours, babysitters or anything else, thankyou very much, let alone as someone who controls nuclear detonators. I'm talking Blair and Bush here. These are facts that will not go away. People like Alex Jones, who uncovered this beauty, did not make it up. He filmed them doing it, and you can get the film from his www.infowars.com website!

    Oh, and check out this revelation - America's political assassinations - JFK then MLK then RFK. This makes KKK, and according to my favourite cartoon character Grassy Knollington (see this Viz cartoon), the KKK must then be responsible for the murders.

    I'm just taking my valium now, operative. ;-)
    Edward R. Murrow: "A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves"

    When was there ever a system of government that ever produced a satisfied electorate? Never. Is it in the nature of governments to abuse their position, while paying avid lip service to the promises that got them elected? Most definitely. This is why the lying scum are stressed out most of the while. 
    Adjusts the microwave shielding...
    To me, it seems obvious that no system of government could ever make people happy, because, the elected are not allowed to care about their electorate. This is because, those who do, are weeded out and disposed of, in their early days of politics. Those who "slip through", for example, JFK+MLK+RFK (KKK!), are bumped off. It has been this way for at least one, if not, two thousand years. Things are not going to change, unless we stop voting for mainstream political parties. 
    Repositions air filter because of fresh chemtrails...
    The problem all scientists have is simple. They erroneously believe that the space-time continuum is controlled by physical laws alone, and has no will or consciousness of its own.

    Science still won't explain, for example, how recipients of heart transplants, can somehow detect the heart's previous owner's life story. See Nexus Article on Cellular Memories for some recent real life studies.

    The faulty assumption that humans have made with regards science and its methods, is that everything is based upon human physical perceptions of the physical world, as external to us all, using sensory equipment based on our 5 senses. However, these senses are always (and have always been) tainted by our minds preconceptions of what we expect to see. Concluding, we will never see the universe as it is - our senses merely relay a blurry image of what's really out there, to enable us to survive as a species. Being products of what is out there, we can only ever hope to attain a very shaky estimate of how the universe works. How, then can we tamper with genes and food and ecology, before we've all agreed (globally) what is really true, and what is illusion? Science is a good modelling tool, but it can never reveal the true nature of the universe to us, until it imbues the space-time continuum with a benign consciousness. So much more can be explained, when one adopts this principle.
    As far as main political parties go, what did you expect? Right or left makes no difference - if you are in a main political party, you can no longer have the people's best wishes at heart - you are now in the charade known as "lip service" while you rip off as much from the kitty as you can, before you are found out and have to "diplomatically resign" !!! None of the main political parties will ever serve the electorate's best interests. Most mainstream politicians have no concept of what the repercussions of an action maybe in 100 years time - to them it doesn't matter because they won't be alive then. They don't even try to conjecture, due to lack of imagination. Intelligent, compassionate people cannot possibly be voting for the mainstream politicians. Therefore, there must be an absolute groundswell of ignorant, short- sighted people in the electorate. "What's new?" I hear you say. "The fact that we now realise how foolish we have been in the past.", I hasten to answer. We cannot continue to elect these fools into power any longer. If Bush doesn't care about the environment, then why do we care about him? If a politician does not have your great grandchildren's best interests at heart, why should we vote for him/her? If a politician's genitalia control his/her mind to the extent of media scandal and family disruption, then how could I trust him/her to invest billions of dollars of our taxes wisely, rather than for selfish, myopic gain?
    It amazes me how much heroism depicted in the media, is displayed by people hurting others for the cause of "good". Usually, some ridiculously portrayed "baddies" are thwarted by the violent actions of the "goodies". Psychologically, the effect must be to maintain an air of impenetrable "goodness or else" attitude amongst the people who lap this crap up. Surely, good leaders would demonstrate a different attitude to "fight or flight". One which would incorporate at least 3 nanoseconds of forethought! Violence is not self-sustaining, and that's why this crud media output is there - to maintain the constant approval for use of force. However, the media situations are ridiculous, and do not arise in real-life. Hence, the effects must be to add to a growing feeling of "defend goodness with all-out violence". After years of this barrage, asking one of these people to fight in the army becomes childsplay, despite their own reasoning telling them that it's folly to kill innocent women and children. When these people arrive on the battlefield, they quickly realise that this is not a media portrayal, and probably wish they hadn't done what they had been pressured into.

    The same will be true of the UK General Election on May 5th 2005. Everyone has been conditioned into thinking that it's a 2-horse race (Conservatives,Labour,outside chance Lib.Dems.), and thereby it becomes one. After voting for whoever, plans to scrap the multi-billion 1993 Trident missile system by both major parties, will mean higher taxes (probably stealth ones judging by election promises) for all UK residents, not least because they will deliberately botch initial projects for a new system to replace it. The reason I say this, is because it makes good sense for the government to have a way of squeezing us taxpayers dry, and the circuitous company set-ups that maintain the "perfectly fairly tendered" projects will ensure that accountability is difficult, if not impossible, to assess, once our contributions have been squandered. Meanwhile, most cabinet members are having 5 or 6 holidays a year (I can hear you say "and the rest!"). Coincidence - I don't think so. You only have to look at government project track records to see that it's true.

    The Trident subs have about 20 years left on them, and that means a mere lifespan of 32 years.

    Q. Why not have one system with a longevity of 1,000 years, and then stop building the darned things? Why must the British taxpayer be forced, through most people's ignorance, to divert ever larger amounts of their salary into making weapons to harm more innocent civilians?

    A. So that governments have "worthy" causes to tax us for. The causes have had their way "smoothed" by the mass media, so that the invisible baggage they carry (hurting innocent people in the case of "defence") is easier for the lambs to swallow. By deliberately obfuscating and multiplexing the most important and costly technological contracts, they can keep taxing us, and spend the money for their own ends, with nobody realising. People believe that paying taxes is hurting no-one, because of the psychological damage done to their reasoning by media bombardment. The religion-instilled flock-like nature of the masses, means an easy time to be had by anyone in power, no matter how hard they abuse the "system". It's really clever, and governments all around the world have been doing it for hundreds of years - duh...

    Surely, the voters must realise what they are doing by now?!? You see, even if you regard yourself as completely innocent, if you are contributing to a "war machine", you are harmful to your own species, and that is anti-survival. It degrades you at the invisible "paying taxes doesn't harm anyone" level, because it makes out that you are that stupid. With you degraded, you think nothing of doing the same to others around you.

    It looks as if the UK electorate are going to do exactly what the yanks did, and return the incumbent. Personally, I am voting Green party, if my borough has a constituent. So, I am afraid I am going to have to do this again, and ahead of schedule (it's May 2nd) :)
    Perhaps they are insane. ** Update - Yes, they're insane... **
    Soldiers have done nothing for world peace for us in the past, so why are so many held up as heroes? They have condoned violence by joining in with it. It would be a better world if the nasty, brutal people took over the world and murdered all us "sheeple". Then they would have no-one to bully but themselves, and their barren, sado-masochistic, victim mentality, existence would become all too apparent. "Sheeple" are the cause of this rotten, iniquitous global state of affairs, where billions starve daily, while fat cats pay $10,000 for a bottle of wine at lunch. Kill them off, and bullies would not prosper. However, since there are so few bullies, it may be easier to kill them all off instead, but sheeple could not do such a thing, because they believe (like all good people) that you treat others (including complete strangers) as you would treat yourself or your own family.

    To summarise, soldiers (of whatever country) are simply sadistic twits with no brains of their own - stop praising them - they aren't worth your attention. If the expenditure on "defence" by Western governments were deflected into improving global infrastructure now, we would see global improvements within 5 years, because of the vast amount of our hard-earned cash being spent on faster and better ways of killing people. To me, it's obvious. To most others, they quickly scrabble around for a way to condone spending any more money of building and selling "defence" equipment around the world, and the cockamamie theories they come up with make me laugh. None of them can answer the simple point that we already have enough nukes in each developed country to blow any threat up now, so why do we need to continue spending trillions of dollars on finding more ways to kill people?
    As Westernism creeps across the face of the Earth, are Western values poised to lay the former moral high-ground to waste? Would this be a good or bad thing for the survival of the human species? You'd think that greater promiscuity would yield higher birth-rates, but, instead, lowering of one's estimation for fellow species members is what occurs, and this leads to clever ways being found to circumvent commitment and long-term loyalties, for example, the invention and mass, global adoption of contraceptives. The modern world runs counter to good survival techniques for the species, despite providing short-sighted security for the individual. It looks like man is being forced to live in such a way as to kill himself off, or, at the very least, greatly reduce his numbers.
    Once you're happy with the idea of your consciousness being who you are, and how it is instantly connected to all time and space in this benign universe, you stop being just another member of the human race, and become a member of all species both animate and inanimate. It then becomes easy to see how unenlightened people are hung up on being "human" and erroneously employ thought structures to advance the case that humans are the most advanced species on the planet. Other species just laugh at such people. Just look at this picture I took at the Natural History museum in London, England, which compares the size of the cerebral cortex (believed to be the seat of consciousness) of a whale and a man :-



    All members of the Order Cetacea (includes all whales, toothed and those using baleen) are believed to have evolved from terrestrial hoofed mammals like cows, camels and sheep some 45 million years ago - that's about 44.75 million years before modern humans appeared (mitochondrial DNA regression yields an age for the homo sapiens sapiens species at a mere 250,000 years). Human society and development must be just a "flash in the pan" to them. Their society and development is simply unfathomable to us. The enlightened amongst us may speculate what it might be like as a whale - phenomenal intelligence, communicative powers and range of "mental reach" underwater, must make for a much richer existence than humans are fooling themselves with currently. Humans excuse their slaughter of superior creatures by the yardstick "Because we physically can do it, then we will do it, especially if there's money involved." A whaler excuses his acts with internal dialog such as, "Well, God hasn't punished me yet, so I am not doing anything wrong." The yardstick is at fault because it only takes into account 2 factors - physical ability to accomplish the task, and fiscal remuneration. Compassionate consideration to the repercussions of the act should also be used to gauge whether the act should take place or not, and its sway override the other 2 factors.
    In a reply to the assertion that the tsunami was another NWO-staged event :-
    We all know the conspiracy theories behind the NWO thing, but shouldn't we be aware enough by now, to sidestep robotised citizenship, when enforced by governments? After all, we chose to put these "leaders" in their current positions of power, based on tradition and historical procedure. We, the new generation, should abandon a lot of the traditions that are holding us back from becoming a technological global community, with infrastructure aliens would balk at! We should be shining with ambition and bright ideas, with anyone willing to help in the implementation. All this through proper philosophical education (Krishnamurti schools are well run), and a freedom to enjoy all things natural.

    As far as the tsunami is concerned, I am more inclined to believe that it was the "alive and conscious" nature of the planet who wanted to show us how insignificant 9-11 was. That is, we now have a new leader for the most recent large-scale loss of human life. I think even the NWO were surprised (and devastated) when this happened. People will now look to governments for protection from natural elements, as more important a current agenda than terrorist threats (probably a close second though). This will inflict pressure on corporations to spend their profits on improving the world's infrastructure, while governments everywhere will go into debt to fund paying them. Tsunami equals globally-rising inflation rates. We will all end up with shoddy, sub-standard, cheap, concrete, lip-service contracts as usual, and, as taxpayers, go on paying for it out of our wages forever, and electing the fools who "couldn't be bothered" to do a decent enough job in the first place. I mean, have you ever heard of a large-scale government IT project going well? No, me neither.
    An alien's point of view :-
    I think it's about time mankind woke up. Their pretence of controlling nature is a joke when things like the recent tsunami happen, and yet they could deflect all their current defence spending into building a technopolis-type infrastructure, employing the best brains in the world through the internet, and end up creating something their children's children would be proud to inherit and live in, and that would be resilient to most of what nature could throw at it. No wonder the youth of today are disillusioned with the pathetic trumpeting of their appointed leaders - all mouth and no action - when there's money, talent, and resources to create future-proof social infrastructure now.
    Q. Who set the agenda for moral and ethical debating issues in this society?
    A. Politicians.
    Q. Who usually have the lowest moral and ethical standards in this society?
    A. Politicians.
    The US Government is itching to slim down its own population (as well as others elsewhere) for financial and economic reasons (the super-elite would get much richer, and the poor would not notice that there were so few of themselves left and yet enjoy the same poverty they were used to). Consequently, a lot of the "mistakes" that the government makes, are in fact "deliberate oversights", especially if they threaten the existence of the poor.

    US voters should hurry up, and vote these Republican/Democrat charlatans out of power, and put an Independent in, or perhaps they are really that intent on letting satanic, childish idiots continue to run the show for another few centuries. Perhaps they are masochists. Perhaps they are insane. ** Update - Yes, they're insane... **
    I just wrote this acrostic about rambling :-

    Rambling through the countryside,
    Around the British Isles.
    Miraculous sights, smells and sounds
    Beg me to stay awhile.
    Lovely streams and weird, wild woods.
    Immense sweeps of wheat where meadows stood.
    Now I know I have found paradise,
    Growing lush and verdant into the skies.
    In terms of voting practices, I doubt the Greens would poopoo Kyoto, worry about shareholders too much, or do anything to dig up Alaska and the Antarctic for more oil, which is running out now. They would probably use hemp for our paper, rather than felling more valuable rainforest trees. And so on...

    If all major parties lose a democratic general election to someone like the Greens, then :-
    1. They are no longer in power - therefore it matters to them and they will care.
    2. They might learn that ethics and morals are not just something you occasionally pay lip service to. Currently, they don't know, or are deliberately evasive, when it comes to these issues. I would rather have someone who upholds good family values, than someone who's out on the town every night, getting drugged and laid (ie. idealising the hedonistic self).
    Compassionate future building is where the heads of politicians should be at - not on how to pass as much current through the pleasure centre of your brain, and never mind the consequences to anyone else's feelings and lives, as you do it.
    Most of the Jihad-obsessed Muslim clerics do not represent the majority of Muslim people, who want to see a peaceful co-existence with all other faiths (or lack of) around the world. Ask the Muslim person in the street, and you'll see their objectives are similar to everyone else's - set up a secure home and breed. Ask the Jewish person in the street, and you'll see their objectives are similar to everyone else's - set up a secure home and breed. It is the politicians who are angling for a scrap, not the people they are supposed to represent. In our heart of hearts, we all know that any fear or hate we feel towards strangers or foreigners, is only conditioned propaganda, since we all know to judge each man individually, and not to make or believe sweeping generalisations. For the first time in years, politicians know the populace is becoming savvy to their tricks and foibles.
    We, in democratic countries, have no control over what our leaders do - 2,000,000 protesters (1 in 30 of every UK man, woman and child) took to the streets in the UK to protest the Iraqi invasion on a working/school day, but it did not stop it.
    ...
    Do not judge a country's people by the media coverage of that country in your country. Everyone seems apt at misrepresenting everyone else, until they get pre-conceived attitudes out of their heads.

    Where the West is going wrong is in assuming that they have become "martyrs" of the free world. They think they can go into a country and "free" it, when Iraq and Afghanistan both prove they only clutter it with corpses and nuclear fallout, and leave political turmoil. It is up to the populace of a country, to overthrow its own tyrannical government.
    People who endorse the Iraqi invasion, agree that Donald Rumsfeld is a far more responsible person to look after the deployment of WMD, than, say, Saddam Hussein.

    These same people also believe this is true the world over (for every country in the world), unless the country is already a developed "democratic" society, in which case, they'll probably have their own version of Rumsfeld looking after them (the mind boggles!).

    Now, if Rumsfeld has an alternative agenda that he keeps out of the public eye, which involves the acquisition of heaps of money, with scant regard to the safety of any citizens, then this trust in his judgement is misplaced, and we are all in very deep doo-doo. But, if he is a good man, with a strong family, and good moral values, then everything should be fine.

    However, call me cynical or pessimistic, but I really doubt that Rumsfeld is in this for anything except the money. What we are being asked to do, is to make a judgement call on who is the "nicer" person - Saddam (or whoever) or Rumsfeld. Now you can see how ridiculous this all is. We should get rid of the world's nukes and get on with building a future our kids all around the world, would be proud to inherit, not one full of fear and paranoia!
    The NWO agenda is to produce a sub-class which have "freedom", but no facilities with which to exercise this freedom. It is already a piss-poor world when :-
  • Someone has already chopped your life up into 7-day cycles, like it or lump it.
  • You have to gear your life to the acquisition of money, or starve to death.
  • Your soul's natural ethics have to be put aside in order to continue to survive.
    Humans are the only species that will murder members of their own species, because of handed-down ideas in their heads.
    The biggest problem in society is that it is alcohol-centric. On any given late night or weekend, count the proportion of alcohol-related accidents to sober ones. Look at what alcohol does to the delicate emotional fabric of family units. Look at how it is portrayed in the media - the liquid of celebration (not hangovers), the safest form of recreational drug use (they have got to be joking), and, globally, the only legal drug apart from nicotine (just as bad). It costs 2 pence to make a pint of lager, and they charge drinkers over 100 times that in the UK for it. A massive alcohol boycott is called for. I have been teetotal for many years now, and I can only report renewed physical and emotional well-being.
    We should be wild in the mind, but considered in action. Humans are the opposite.
    There has been a 50% increase in leukaemia in children under 5 since 1950. Some are now speculating that either phone masts, radio and TV transmissions, or nuclear power as the cause.

    There is evidence that melatonin production, which occurs when it is pitch dark at night in your brain, is inhibited by microwave radiation, such as that given off by mobile phone masts. Putting 2 and 2 together, we get increased cancer-related diseases as more and more masts come into play. Now 3G technology and Tetra roll-outs threaten to increase the mast density in all areas of the UK. Shouldn't mobile phone businesses back off a bit until we know what the dangers really are?

    Either the CND or GreenPeace did a study of leukaemia incidence around nuclear power plants, here in the UK about 20 years ago now. The results were shocking, in that there was visible correlation between proximity to the Nuclear Power Plant and numbers of leukaemia sufferers. These results were also swiftly buried, and totally ignored by the media. I only saw the report 'cos my sister was a member of CND at the time.

    Even when incontrovertible evidence is presented to try to prevent a government project going ahead, they will still go ahead with it. They simply won't be advised by anyone who doesn't subscribe to their blinkered approach to scientific fact! Consequently, I don't give a stuff whether mobile phone technology or TV and Radio transmission technology are health risks - even if you proved that they were for yourself beyond any reasonable doubt, anyone towing the associated business interests' rationale will ignore your findings, even to the point of childish and automatic gainsay of any facts you may have uncovered.

    Anyone in government or big business, is only there because they have demonstrated a willingness to bury their heads in the sand whenever their power or business interests are threatened. There are no "big players" in the world with consciences. Not even the pope!
    I have found that life is always a balance of 2 extremes. "Normal" existence means staying in the middle as much as possible, like a Liberal candidate on political issues. "Intense" existence is usually associated with staying at one of the extremes, and usually the "bad" one. "Balanced" existence means appreciating the full extent of both extremes, and using your instincts to navigate between them, since there are no hard and fast rules about where one should be in any given situation. Sometimes you'll get it wrong, and sometimes you'll get it right, but, hey, at least you're really living. "Normal" people are manifestly righteous, because, from their point of view, nothing is worth getting worked up about (no extreme is worth visiting personally), and "intensifying" to any situation is regarded as a foolish and embarrassing thing to do. Governments like "normal" people. Governments consist of "Intense" people. Governments feel threatened by "Balanced" people.
    "What gets me is that Satanism is not exactly a popular recreational activity, so how come all of our elected representatives are somehow connected to the activity?"

    Aye, Scotty, that truly is the rub. Let me just put that one to you again, in case you didn't get it the first time :-

    "What gets me is that Satanism is not exactly a popular recreational activity, so how come all of our elected representatives are somehow connected to the activity?"

    Personally, I don't know anyone who is a satanist, and I should imagine they keep themselves to themselves, much like paedophiles. But, I certainly wouldn't vote for any of them to represent me in a democracy. So, why are you going to, my American friends?

    Aye, Scotty, that truly is the rub.
    It looks like the joke's on us if we go ahead with genetically engineering ourselves.
    If the government do not have the right to dictate how you treat your body (sexually, anything goes in the Western World), why then interfere with what recreational drugs you're allowed to take? This is hypocrisy in its simplest form.
    I agree with you on the issue of "Do we really need phones that take crap quality pictures?". In fact, where, in the past, new technologies have been introduced to the UK, there are always better products in Japan and the States.

    In terms of a phone taking pictures and videos, there seems to be an inherent danger that perverts will use them for nefarious purposes. So it seems that an alternative agenda is on the cards here. Let me speculate somewhat - the police state is nearing (fascism is always preceded by removal of private firearms - look at history), and with mobile phones ubiquitous, pictorial evidence presented by an informer will be fairly hard to counter in court - imagine a kid videoed spray-canning a wall with anti-government slogans, or rolling a nice spliff and smoking it. Nowadays, such small misdemeanours would just be warned off, but given time, we will see any anti-government behaviour severely punished, to set an example to any other would- bes.

    The other issue is the frequencies chosen to carry the mobile phone signals. Was it any accident that they specifically match our biochemistry's natural signals? We are not just lumps of flesh and bone, but complex and highly-attuned bio-electrical organisms in a sea of natural resonances, such as Schumann's, which we evolved into. Why then choose mobile phone frequencies that interfere with our natural bio-electrical signals, causing sleeping pattern disturbances (melatonin-related and very, very common indeed now) and immune system deficiency related problems (cancer, leukaemia, motor neurone disease etc.)?

    From the little I know, and the corroboration provided by recent events, I can safely state that it is in Western government's interests to keep their population numbers under tight, restrictive control. Along with many other methods, phone masts are just one way they keep us unhealthy, and spiritually crippled. They are utter, fucking bastards, and deserve to die slow, lingering, painful deaths.

    I noticed that lots of "Synthetic Telepathy" sites are no longer working on the Internet. Is this the start of internet censure? Also, check out http://www.raven1.net.
    Abortion should be available for emergencies, but it should be educated into people that it is not a very nice thing to do, murdering the life inside you. It should also be pointed out that there is a risk of rendering yourself infertile with the procedure. What we have currently is sex education telling everyone that sexual practice is what is expected of them (or the teachers wouldn't have to stand at the front of the class embarrassing themselves in front of 6-year olds, trying to explain what a willy is for). Check out Judith Reisman's papers - this "sex education" leads to higher teenage pregnancy rates, and hence increases the demand for abortions. We all know that sex is pleasurable, but we should be stressing that its primary use is to procreate, not just have a bit of fun. There is no perfect contraceptive. Hence, the man and woman involved should be able to handle the responsibility of a potential lifeform being created by their act. If not, they shouldn't be doing it. It really is that simple.
    Let's regain a more balanced and compassionate lifestyle. Now would be a good time, I keep hearing.
    We have a situation in most democratic societies around the world where, appearance is more important than content (goods, people, software ...). Surely, the optimum solution would be to find the "middle path" that lies between blinkered self-obsession and whole-hearted altruism.
    Capitalism - a method of inducing people to believe that fulfillment comes from the acquisition of certain goods, and that everyone has the right to own what they like and defend it with (police) force.
    Do you get the feeling that there is a slowly-growing enlightened consciousness, and certain people are mouthpieces for it? Or do you feel that if we were all as individual as we're supposed to be in God's eyes, then nature would do the rest for us? All I know is that our lives in this sham known as "society" will always be a waste of time, unless you can stand outside of yourself and see the myriad of other possibilities for existence upon this ball of rock in space. For example, how many people on their deathbeds ask the simple question, "Who the heck thought of dividing my life into 7-day cyclical periods? Where did they get the number 7 from?". It's not that many, you know. Or, "Who the heck decided that 3 meals a day at these particular times, is the correct way to eat?". Or, "Why is it that people cannot see clothes for what they are - pieces of cloth to keep them warm. Who cares what they look like, or if a small ketchup stain has appeared?!?". Or, "Why did I let some demonic (Skull and Bone) morons tell me what to do all my life long? They gave me the choice 'Work or Starve to death'. And I chose work. If only my instinct for survival was not so strong...". These lives we humans lead globally are a facade of acquiescence to short-sighted brute force set in stone by people far less intelligent than ourselves, and far less relevant than the current crop of humanity to current times. So, why do we persist in maintaining this system founded by humans who historically (and currently) demonstrate the most brutal and evil side of human nature? Surely, we should replace these people with wise and compassionate humans from the cream of all walks of life planet-wide. But the brutal currently protect themselves with force hardened by technology. And the majority of sheeple would rather have brutal force hanging over their heads, than compassionate interest, because they "think" it makes them feel safer - basically (more) "violence" equals (more) "safety" (now that's what I call 'deluded'). It seems the majority of humans simply aren't deconditioned enough to "see it any other way" - Swell Maps.

    So, it looks as if the yanks have got some pretty amazing weapons in their modern, technological arsenal nowadays. Judging by the way the United Kingdom rolled over submissively to America's Middle East posturing, and the way Iran stopped causing trouble for the yanks shortly after a fairly catastrophic earthquake (a demonstration of the US's new-found powers), I should imagine loads of governments around the world are being "educated" in what the States can do to you if you don't cooperate with them. That's the same as using technologically- backed bully boy tactics to run the world, irrespective of a country's hopes and aspirations. This, from a country whose recent political past is a shame-faced shambles. The murders of JFK and brother Bobby, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and then the strongly-opposed Vietnam war. And, just like Iraq, they don't learn from their mistakes, because they never openly regarded Vietnam (or Iraq) as a mistake. Covertly, it seems they want to subvert happiness globally, for purely evil reasons. Power and control are all that these monsters care about, despite love proving time and time again that it is the ultimate force. Sit tight - it's gonna get real rough, as these losers end up killing each other off. Don't get caught in the crossfire!
    To listen to the media about cannabis, you would think it was one of the few plants that God must have made wrong, because, in the 21st century, it is being tested for in US offices, and, despite no solid evidence to indicate any harm from cannabis, it is stigmatised in every country in the world. The amount of money that could be made by destigmatising it is vast, but the governments would rather use money to enforce its ban. Madness! Just to think, only a hundred years ago, it was used for virtually all navy ships' sails.
    Why do governments want to spend our tax money on building yet more nuclear weapons and spend money researching even more ways of harming people and protecting them from harm in the name of "defence"? It's always the Yanks and the Brits selling arms to poorer countries (the perpetrators' intentions to acquire more money with high lending rates to these countries) and then going in with troops, because they are now deemed "dangerous" or a "threat". Then some CIA black operation with bombs, masquerades as a XXXXX (country that is dangerous) terrorist incident in the media, and everyone laps it up and emotionally point the way the capitalist governments' wind is blowing (greed and destruction direction) even though it hurts ...
    People are using words to shape reality instead of using reality to shape words.
    Without realising it, the average socially-conditioned human
  • is only out for immediate visceral pleasure, and actively opposes spiritual pleasure or enlightenment.
  • is in a constant state of analysing other people's lives/thoughts/actions, rather than advancing their own.
  • is the most ill-intentioned creature on this planet. Never does he want to better someone else's lot - only his own.
  • feels it is his duty to disrupt anything good at all, under the misunderstanding that if it can't be interrupted, then there is something wrong with it.
  • goes around constantly trying to "preempt" any goodness left in mankind, under the disavowing pretence that he doesn't matter to anyone or anything, and therefore, should be ignored all the while, despite constantly sticking his nose into other people's business, for fear of any of mankind's natural goodness.
  • mentally sound like a record stuck in a continuously repeating groove - no wonder he has such an unfulfilled life.
    Humans are the least able species to cope with power, but they are the most power-hungry species too.
    I'm not being deliberately awkward, when you say perceive me to be something or other, and I vehemently disagree, whatever the perception. No, you see, it's the law of quantum mechanics - if you observe something and fit that observation into some kind of mental framework, you have already changed what you observed, and you are no longer correct in your observation. Hence, I cannot be retrofitted into anyone's mental framework, not even my own. I gave up theorising on such matters many years ago - now, I'm just waiting for everyone else to give up too. Boy, do they look frantic as I sidestep every perceived notion they conjecture, even the most "obvious" ones. It took me a lot of courage to throw off the semantic labelling of situations I may encounter, and people resent not being able to pin me down to a cliched sentence or two. My freedom is their despair.
    Why am I being punished for knowing what's on other people's minds? I mean, you would have thought that greater compassion led to greater respect, but the opposite is true of the human race today. The more thick-skinned and ignorant you are of other people's thoughts, the more you are admired and revered. This is typical of the madness of modern society, where common sense tells you what ought to be true, when the complete opposite is the social reality. Another example is justice, where the most fastidious advocates of law and order, are just the people to bribe and corrupt their way out of trouble, and the most esteemed social figures (football players for example) are the first to be "let off" from the normal courses of law enforcement whatever their crimes (rape, or racist GBH, for example). This presents a moral paradox for the average man in the street, who is told to abide by the rules, or punishments await. He is then bombarded by media reports of people in high places getting away with "murder". It's a bit of a mixed message if you ask me!!!

    People consequently seem to deliberately entertain disruptive and harmful ideas in their heads so that it is detrimental to someone else "reading" their thoughts - a crazy form of paranoia. What is daft is that maiming natural thought processes for purely consciously-controlled, paranoia-fuelled ones, actually harms the thinker more than any prospective reader. It's like a self-inflicted form of brain damage - really, really stupid. But then, these are the kind of idiots who simply proclaim "ignorance is bliss". What a bunch of twats!
    Everyone has a spiritual centre which processes and judges sensory inputs from the outside world. It works automatically and is your true self. It is not a material thing, and don't ever betray it for material things. It always knows right from wrong, and you always know how it has judged a situation, even if your brain chooses to ignore its judgement. Nothing can ever change your spiritual centre - it is the same when you die, as when you were born.
