Pope Francis Colaborated with Argintine Military Junta

There is no god- and Sigmond Freud Is His Prophet

-sage saying of the day

 The Guardian, Sunday 17 March 2013
Pope Francis has delivered his first Sunday prayer to a cheering, laughing crowd of about 300,000 people in St Peter's Square, amid hopes that his down-to-earth style will usher in a change in the Vatican.
But while many in Rome were looking forward, accusers in his native Argentina continued to raise awkward questions about the past and reproduced a document suggesting the Jesuit may have betrayed two of his priests to the murderous military dictatorship in the 1970s.  The sharply different perspectives have dogged the early days of the new leader of the Catholic church, who will be officially installed at an inaugural mass on Tuesday.  His capacity to rouse affection and optimism were in evidence as he mixed cheery greetings with humour and anecdotes at his inaugural Angelus.  Speaking in Italian rather than Latin, he joked with the crowd and ended by saying: "Have a good Sunday and a good lunch!" Pilgrims, many from Latin America, roared their approval. ...   However, his critics in Argentina were unwilling to move on so quickly. The pope continues to be haunted by allegations dating back to the dictatorship era, when the Catholic church colluded with the generals to quell what they saw as a Marxist threat.  The Argentinian newspaper Pagina 12 republished old documents on Sunday that suggest Jorge Bergoglio, as the pope was known until last week, was in contact with the military authorities about the insubordination of two of his priests and rumours that they had contact with leftwing guerrilla groups.  Father Orlando Yorio and Father Francisco Jalics were tortured and kept in a concentration camp for nearly six months in 1976, after they refused Bergoglio's order to leave the slum where they were working. In that era, any priest who focused on the poor districts was under suspicion of collaborating with Marxist groups.  A foreign ministry memo from 1979 seems to suggest Bergoglio had passed on suspicions to the authorities, and connived behind the backs of the priests.

Remember with Christianity - People are Expendable; Theology is Not

Marcus Arelius 2005

Dr. Levy and Christianity are alike in that they both commit the same mental error of saying that "One's success and happiness is contingent on one's ability to Deny the Real Problem and Pretend that they don't exist and everything is Fine"

Marcus Arelius, Yesterday

I got up at ten after six.  CBS morning had a thing on the value of having a circle of friends kind of as a support network and “safety net”.  G I R L S really is an acronym for “gee, I really love shopping”.  After this they talked about ear tags on steers.  Whatever happened to the implant chip thing they use to ID pets now?  Why won’t that work?  But the Texas ranchers take pride in their specific brand symbols that often go back generations- - and there were a bunch of them on a plaque of wood, which are still useful for law enforcement to track down thefts.  We had oatmeal again and I had sugar in my pocket for that.  Thankfully it was much thicker today.  However the rest of the breakfast scene was like a bad movie with the same unhappy plotline outcome that runs over and over.  They now have this cart with the butter and jelly and sugar but people from the other side kept running to the cart to get more jelly and wouldn’t you know it?  They were out of jelly by our side.  The coffee was weak, and cold, and the cup not filled that high, and they looked like they were running out of that, too.  Not one food item began first on our side this day.  We finally got our fried egg and toast.  I wasn’t able to watch the start of Meet the Press.  These political parties gave their political speeches much like Ryan and Van Holland did on the internet yesterday, making the same points.  Some of these network roundtables try excessively hard to give republicans the moral equals of democrats.  There were Catholic priests who spoke and I listened to their words, patiently.  I’m trying hard to suspend judgement.

This is Sunday St Patrick’s day and I am wearing that green striped shirt that’s getting a little ragged around the edges.  It’s still pretty cool outside even mid day.  The LA Clippers are leading the NY Nicks 41 to 37 with just a minute to play in the second quarter, already.  We had chili for lunch and it’s been consistently good for a long time now.  We also had corn bread, beets, and crackers.  I had seconds on literally all of that.  We had orange slices for desert.  I also got a part of a peanut butter sandwich from Laurie.  I listened to Leo Le Port talking about VPN’s or virtual private network, and how the studio owners now contact your ISP who forwards a letter to you saying you have one “strike” against you for copyright infringement from using bit torrent.  Also You Tube will often take videos down now, since they have been bought out- - but if you “game the system” or make some deal for placing ads, you can get around that.  I grew drowsy and dozed off and at the one o clock news went out for s smoke and I had a sneezing attack.

They just announced coffee time.  They began the third quarter with what seems “unusual dispatch” and now have just over three minutes to play- and the Clippers have pulled out way ahead 65 to 50 for the Knicks.  I left the room at 2:01 after coffee call, and it was 2:07 when Laura rolled the coffee cart out.  Some early birds got corn bread but I didn’t and left after one cup since the line was long behind me.  The birds were in a chirpy mood both in the morning and afternoon sessions.  In the morning I did not wear a jacket.  We got some of that green cake with our coffee and they had plenty of that.  I got a second cup of coffee, too.  If I am to get in a posting today it will most likely be after dinner.  My fear is that Dr. Levy won’t be logical enough when he says “Ill include a writing of yours in the March news” for it to be the one thing I have actually sent him in the past six months, that’s a good one.  His discernment for what’s good and what isn’t that good- - seems to be non existant.  Again an annoying point with Dr. Levy is that he likes mental patients to write “his idea of what I mental patient ought to be capable of” rather than how the actual Patient (if we must call him that) chooses to actually express himself and his truths.  And complements he gives are worthless- - - because his overall attitude is so patronizing to begin with.  They’ll be happy to give you a pretend job with pretend complements- - with a pretend Pollyanna attitude that won’t cut the mustard in real life..

I have been thinking on that idea that only our "alter ego" or Super Self- - survives after our death, but we ourselves don’t.  The problem here is that virtually so much of Federation core beliefs are based on engrams- and both Mal Evans and Stu Sutcliffe pointed this notion of mine "Is a really bad idea".  Besides this- - Kurt Cobain came to me with an entirely different line of argument that was even more convincing, and which I cannot ignore.  The whole idea of consciousness after death being limited to “What others thought of you” diminishes the whole importance of Self, and in a sence the whole “Meaning’ for it all.  More specifically- - the dead have lives NOW - - after death.  They still are people with interests and goals and preferences.  If you come to know someone as a friend- - even if they should become a rock star- - you still have the inside track on knowing what they truly are like, and to deny this is a patent insult to both of you and your relationship.

So at this time I’d like to speak more in detail on the exact nature of engrams.  First of all it would be interesting to check out the bizarre engrams the officials of the Church of Scientology have ruling them right now, that they strangely have not dealt with.  Indeed they say “let me take the speck out of my brother’s eye” and yet have a big plank in their own.  (Selah)  How can they look at themselves in the mirror each morning?  And what about Jesus Christ?  What notion or engram did he pick up that told him he was both God and infallible?  I would like to have a step by step “walk through” on the exact mechanics of that one.  But it was Mal Evans who broached the idea that engrams can be from the future just as easily as they can be from the Past.  In other words - - these engrams are not subject to the normal forces of time but as it were exist in time but apart from it.  We know that these engrams are a physical manifestation of a psychological “notion” or “injunction” or “belief”.  As beliefs, or feelings- - whether they are true or false in this instance, is completely immaterial.  This is not to say Truth and Falsity are not important but to say that the physical “manifestation” of engrams between the two are alike.  It’s like saying an Albert Sweitzer and a Ted Bundy are not born differently - - in terms of the process- - but once they come out- - it’s clear their souls are very different.  The way Mal Evans put it to me yesterday is “Why should any part of my being judged as a person, be contingent on dignifying the false and irrational belief of Another?”  But at the same time keep in mind that since engrams come from the future as well as the past you can not “make them into something they are not- - or wish them away or pray they won’t come or haven’t arrived, merely because you Will it, simply because you just don’t have that kind of power.  Because the future was all pretty much baked into the cake by the nature of your own Soul”.   However Bones came to me today again and did say “You know- - I too believe that your judged not on what you think or feel or “were intending to do” but rather on what you DO.  Neither are you judged on what you - - Accomplish.  This is the opposite extreme some pastors like Chuck Smith would like to brag about so proudly.  Your karma is not based either on what pops into your mind and you reject- or not certainly like this sitcom where so often you hear the convenient line “You know- - I was actually intending to do something really NICE for you - - but Now you have gone and ruined it all on account of what you just did”.  If you hear this line spouted to you by some passive aggressive loved one once too often it could be grating on your nerves.  Karma is based on what you DO.  And here Stewart is in agreement with me that others should be perhaps entitled to “throw in their two cents” on seeing you perform either consistently good acts or bad acts.  This is for the simple reason that others are impacted by your acts.  If I say “I owe my philosophy of life to Randy Rhodes and Thom Hartman” one might suppose I could this is a bragging point for why I came out so smart.  But in reality it’s not material to MY justification- - but it will certainly accrew to the karmas of Randy Rhodes and Thom Hartman.  But there is one final point I would like to conclude with right here.  Some and perhaps Dr. Levy and certainly a lot of therapists and psychologists will tell you “A situation is bad or good only if you Choose to Believe that it is either Bad or Good.  And if you change your Belief about the encounter (or incident or trauma) then- - the Engram formed at this time will be different.  To refute this we need look no further than popular song lyrics.  Cher sings “but I can’t run away from what I Am” and Paul Revere and the Raiders sing “You see, no matter what you do, you’ll never run away from you”.  This has always been a guiding principle of mine.   Do you take people to be such fools that if you tell them “I’m not really screwing you over- - it’s all in your mind” they aren’t smart enough to know the difference- - ie as to what’s either a Good thing form them in their lives or a Bad thing?  Even the tea party, as self centered as they are, are able to discern a Good thing happening for them, and a Bad thing.  When the tea party people were walking all over President Obama in those first two years I KNEW it was a bad thing.  Tom Hartman’s assertions of “The President is playing chess and the others are playing checkers” is really a pretty silly line, if you’re competing in a checkers championship.  “Knowing the rules of the game” is one of the fundamental principles of interaction in this world.  People who seen to “not get it’ and haven’t a clue as to what “the rules” are- we say have Aspurgers syndrome or something.  You see they too play their own private little “games” in their own mind.  Perhaps the President hears voices in his head in his own mind- - but that game and those rules will do him no good.  Even a lazy person is often capable of being “shamed” into seeing what an unproductive loser he is.  And for Dr. Levy to say to mental patients “Don’t compare yourselves to others” is kind of like saying “I came here to look at freaky people so go on - - Do something freaky for me”, kind of like that kid who is waving his head and hands and getting dizzy “Hold on, I’m watching this!”

Not All Jews See Themselves as Outsiders

Some realities are just too depressing to keep hearing about.  Congress is still in a do-nothing mode and is destined to continue that way.  Dianne Feinstein and Ted Cruise were sparring yesterday on the assault weapons issue.  But none of the constitutional rights are absolute.  They suspend Habius Corpus during war time - - you don't have the right to publish child pornography or libelous material - and you need to get a city permit to have a parade or assembly of people.  The Fourth amendment may be violated in "exigent circumstances" - - and neither is the second amendment absolute.  Alexander Hamilton argued in the Federalist Papers not to even have an enumeration of "Rights" because it might be assumed that one's rights are LIMITED to those specified, and not others.  Good point.  We now come to the sickening details on the make-up of this C-Pac convention that is going right now.  It's the one where all the freaks speak saying their politics "need to be brought up to date" but Randy Rhodes points out that White Supremicy groups have also used this line about "bringing their message up to date" and making their message of White Only more politically appealing in these times.  It seems that David Keene is the head of the National Rifle association now.  His wife was, Dianna,  convicted of extorting money - $400,000 from the A C U - or the American Conservative Union that spawned C-Pac.  Keene's son, David Michael Kene, was hospitalized seven times with "impulse control" issues, and arrestred in a case of road rage along the Patomic- - for firing at another driver, while on his way to the shooting range.  It gets worse.  Not only is David Keene one and the same buy who was ahead of the Conservative Union these years and now head of the National Rifle Association - - .  But there is a magazine they put out called American Renasance that used to have connections with the National Review with an odd Jewish twist here.  Robert Weisburg is an "intellectual" that appeals to the National Review- before he was let go for being too extreme- - believes in scientific theories supporting eugenics and White Suprenacy.  The Jewish people refer to Blacks as "Shartza" - - which is a word used in a Chich and Chong skit in 1973 called "Up His Nose".  They stress that the word is not the equivelent of "Nigger".  Apparently this Weisburg wants to establish a White Eutopia with zoning laws to insure that Blacks will never bother them.  This Weisburg has claimed that there is no such thing as a "bad school" due to urban poverty or under-funding but almost exclusively - it's the fact that Blacks and Chicanos are genetically inferior and it's silly to ever think they'll equal Whites in academic achievement.  So when you hear the words 'Judeo-Christian" thrown around- - it might be a code word for something you'll never be able to get used to- - ie unabashed racism.

Dennis has his continual problems.  He observes and reports on a lot of stuff and tries to be a nice guy doing car work for people and collecting cans to earn money.  But sometimes “the system” seems out to get certain people.  I didn’t like Phyllis Green’s attitude tword Dennis at all because I don’t thing Phyllis seems to have a grasp of the numerous crosses Dennis has to bear in life- with the cancer thing looming over him like a dark cloud.  He has a Do Not Recessitate order on him, so he knows if he goes to a hospital he’s going to die anyhow.  I know there are legal irregularities about this place, but the place Dennis was at before didn’t sound like any picnic either.  And they just doubled the rent there so he had to move out.  This whole problem with you-know-who just waltzing into people’s rooms - - and apparently stealing things if he can – is a problem we’ve had.  Bill’s better at yelling at them to get out than I am.  I figure it’s the grace of God that I personally haven’t had a lot more stuff stolen from me than I have.

It seems like this Car-Fax outfit is a major fraud.  Apparently car dealers in order to close the sales deal will just say “Well, let’s just look at the car fax”.  As far as I’m concerned Carfax is just that Abbey in London in the Dracula movie that the Count purchased in 1892.  This one Mazda was apparently the sandwich car in the middle of a three way wreck- - and police records have revealed other accidents other cars have been in that Car-Fax disregards, but instead gives you those assuring green check marks.  In other news Carnival Cruise Ship lines is in big trouble.  Perhaps it’s the mamouth nature of today’s pleasure cruise ships- - - that are this big “block” structures with seemingly almost no decking- and are a thousand feet long.  Someone said they are set up that way to maximize profit with the most paying customers.  But there was another “Potty alert’ on another ship called the Legond- - where they got to where they were going- - but then the passengers were not allowed to disembark because of some technical regulation but were told that their week long vacation was over and that they would be flown in batches back home.  Another carnival ship, The Dream- - was apparently “dead in the water” and lost power out in the middle of the ocean.  All this bad press is discouraging new people to sign up.   Here’s a story- - apparently some six foot boa constrictor was found in someone’s luggage- and the guy was astonished it was a live snake - - and animal control was contacted.

Charlie Sheen star of two & a half men, is tweeting, urging his fans to go down to “Viewpoint School” and throw dog feces, toilet paper and rotten fruit at the school.  Sheen is mad at this school for not dealing with the reality that his daughter was bullied there over a continued period of time.  But the fast few months the daughter has been attending another school.  I’m thinking this might genuinely be a case where the punishment fits the crime.  Today David Cruise told us that AEG football deal fell through, that the National Football League was never happy with to begin with.  I felt as if we were rushing headlong into nowhere- - fast.   I think the mere idea of having a football stadium in "downtown LA" at some non existant place called "farmer's field' is a little farsical to begin with.  Also there is another potty alert aboard a cruise ship as a generator failed and the toilets don’t work and plumbing won’t flow.  And then there is more stuff with Cardinal Mahoney and child molestation.  Clearly these high ranking Cardinals still don't "get it", that they aren't above the law, and that laws of civic responsability that apply to any other citizen apply to them too.  Today there is this fanciful story about a twelve year old girl in love with a young Borgolio - - and he told her "If I don't marry you then I'm going to become a Priest" but her mother grabbed her and forbad her to ever see that boy again.

JIM LO SCALZO/EPA - Sen. Marco Rubio speaks at the 40th Annual Conservative Political Action Conference.  The future of the Republican Party took some shots at its recent past on Thursday, as two top 2016 White House hopefuls made a conspicuous effort to distance themselves from the past two GOP presidential nominees.   Speaking to activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference at National Harbor, Sens. Rand Paul (Ky) and Marco Rubio (Fla) offered sharp, and only slightly veiled, critiques of Mitt Romney and John McCain, the two most recent men to carry the party standard in presidential  (Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP) - Supporters of Sen. Rand Paul cheer as he speaks at the conference Thursday.“The GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered,” Paul said. “I don’t think we need to name any names here, do we?”  Although Paul didn’t mention McCain by name, the reference was clear after McCain last week labeled Paul and other members of the new generation of conservative Republicans “wacko birds.”  Speaking to the same crowd earlier, Rubio sought to cast himself as the anti-Romney, attacking some of Romney’s most controversial statements from the campaign, in which the former Massachusetts governor, in a surreptitiously recorded video, dismissed his chances with 47 percent of American voters because they were overly dependent on government and considered themselves victims.  “Our people have not changed,” Rubio said. “The vast majority of the American people are hard-working taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in their community. This is where the vast majority of the American people are. What’s changed is the world around us.”  Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was a presidential candidate in 2012, joined in the attack. He said that Romney’s presidential loss says nothing about conservatism because Romney isn’t a conservative.  “The popular media narrative is that this country has shifted away from conservative ideals, as evidenced by the last two presidential elections. That’s what they say,” Perry said. “That might be true if Republicans had actually nominated conservative candidates in 2008 and 2012.”   Rubio argued that globalization and technology have changed the game when it comes to the economy.  “Many people do the right thing,” he said. “For example, they pay their mortgages on time. And now, when the housing bubble came, they were stuck with the bill for bailing out the banks that caused it, for bailing out the people who took out mortgages they couldn’t afford to pay.”  Later in his speech, Rubio drew laughs by talking about a middle-class family that fit that description. “They’re not freeloaders; they’re not liberals,” he said.  He closed with one of his biggest applause lines, alluding to arguments that the Republican Party needs to reinvent itself.  “We don’t need a new idea; the idea is called America, and it still works,” Rubio said.  Paul used his speech to offer an extensive defense of his 13-hour filibuster last week — the same effort that drew the ire of McCain and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.). Over the course of those 13 hours, Paul pushed the Obama administration to clarify that it wouldn’t use drones against American citizens on American soil.  McCain and Graham suggested that Paul’s effort amounted to pointless grandstanding, with Graham even labeling him “ill-informed.”  “To those who would dismiss this debate as frivolous, I say tell that to the heroic young men and women who have sacrificed their limbs and lives,” tell them their sacrifice was great but that we had to suspend the Bill of Rights he fought for.  “Yes, the filibuster was about drones, but also about much more. Do we have a Bill of Rights or not? Do we have a Constitution or not, and will we defend it?”  Paul echoed Rubio by suggesting that the GOP doesn’t need to reinvent itself, but instead get in touch with its true self.  “The Republican Party has to change, by going forward to the classical and timeless ideas enshrined in our Constitution,” he said. “When we understand that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then we will become the dominant national party again.”

You all are familiar with that Dylan song that says "I wish just one time you could stand inside my shoes, you'd know what a drag it is to see you".  This song, "Positively Fourth Street" probably has more keen insights into human nature per square foot than any other song written.  Well-  suppose our memories in THIS body using our conscious brain- perishes with us.  But don't lose all hope.  Suppose the memories of the our "Super Selves" that not so metaphorical lighter than gravity -  "looking back at us from the point of view of the rest of the World" is the only memory we will ever have of this life.  That would mean that all our fancy rationalizations and frustrations and a sense of being "pushed to our limits" to justify our rash or impulsive actions- - none of that will help us out.  All we will remember of Ourselves is NOT from our own Ego - - but rather from this "outside looking in" view of the rest of the world.  Some people can't stand to hear recordings of their own voice.  Others get suddenly camera shy and become self conscious whenever a camera is rolling.  Imagine being emersed in that 24 hours a day.  If you know that then it will indeed be the Future that we see 20 -20 - - we will have the disgrace of First viewing how we screwed up our lives and only Then- will we catch or get a glimpse on whatever screwy rationalizations or justifications we used to take that action- - like being forced to watch a bad movie over and over "You know it'.s coming" it makes it worse, somehow.  The wisest thing therefore, that we can do now is to get in touch with our Super Selves - - NOW - - while that alter ego can still be a saving force in our otherwise pathetic Lives.  (Selah)

My brother called up during the soap opera and the news wasn’t good.  Mom now had twin readings (in both arms) of 210 over 101 or something in blood pressure.  I think she needs to be hospitalized immediately and given any kind of sedative that will get her blood pressure down for a few days and they can “take it from there”.  Instead the lady doctor doubled down on a medication Mom had been trying to get off of- because she feared a rebound effect.  But as in my case – how can there be a “rebound” without a “bound” or original effect, to begin with.  I have been down this road myself before her, though my blood pressure never reached 210 and I was younger when I had the problem.  I was 48 and not 86 and in my mind that raises a significant problem.  My brotherl says Mom told her “it’s because I’m nervous” but I read in a book that merely “being nervous or tense” won’t cause this kind of spike in blood pressure.  She did not have the magnesium test.  My brother says they give women who have just had a baby and have high blood pressure - - magnesium, so I’d go with what works from prior experience here.  I again alluded to the fact that perhaps Mom should include citrus juice back in her diet. I think she should tell the doctor who said to eliminate those from her diet - tell him to Fuck Off.  My brother took off a few more days although now Wednesdays are his normal day off.  I talked a little about today’s selection of a new Pontiff.  In a way I was almost expecting him to be more concerned.  But to reassure me a little, he reported that Mom said “I feel a sense of comfort knowing my children care about me”.  Allan was with Mom during one appointment- and remembered things about it Mom didn’t.  These little mini-lapses of Mom forgetting conversations – are becoming more frequent now.

Welcome to Pi day, where unfortunately they did not serve pie to celebrate.  But here are other of the day's highlights. - - - The carpet is still wet from yesterday and smells like mildew.  The towel I used to dry myself off with this morning is still wet.  The evaporation rate in there has to be near zero and I can’t figure that out since it’s a temperate, sunny day.  I had Bill Press on and after this was Stephanie Miller.  Janet approached Mario and me while it was still dark and offered us rolls and hot chocolate.  I went in the room as Janet stirred it and put two rolls in a bag for me.  I continued to listen to Stephanie Miller till 7:15 when I went down and saw the doors were not yet open so went for a fast smoke.  I don’t think we were served our oatmeal till after seven thirty.  We got our main plate at four after eight, which might come in third for the all time lateness record.  We finally got our scrambled eggs and a piece and a half of French toast, and after this the Plum guy gave me almost his entire plate - - ie his eggs and a whole piece of French toast.  Paul Evans offered me more food and I declined.  I have fought drowsiness numerous times during the day.  I listened to Rush Limbaugh at nine till 9:25 doing his particular kind of rant about the new Pope.  Of course Limbaugh is plainly ignoring the Pope’s social agenda or that he thinks capitalism is often exploitative.  He also had other vague, inappropriate nuances.  I then had Moe Kelly on a while and declined coffee call at ten.  Then I booted the computer and had Ed Schultz on.  There was no problem at all with the sound in the morning.  But in the afternoon after two when I had the Ed Schultz TV show on listening to that whistle blower guy who taped Romney at that party last May 17^th- - then there were static breaks.  And also I had Chris Matthews on with a segment about the intransigence of the Republicans- - and that’s when there were the worst breaks in sound.  This of course, is after over two months had passed including this morning when everything was working fine.  Ted Cruise would like to repeal the Affordable Care act and his first introduced bill did just this.  But “at least- - when this economy is gasping for breath – we don’t want to saddle it with Obama Care next year”.  Personally I wish I could say this five plus year long recession was entirely over but the evidence is clear that it is not.  The Republicans will not even vote on a plan to approve background check for gun buyers.  And Feinstein’s bill may specifically except over two thousand makes of rifle and such, but the Republicans and the NRA are still squeamish.  I didn’t learn a whole lot from that Scott guy that did the revealing 47% Romney video- - but I learned a little.  I learned that if those Chinese women employees had so much as looked up from their work as Romney passed, that they would have been beaten.  One expert said the guy was a big time liar.  What they did not make clear at least here was that Mitt Romney had ended up buying this very same factory.  Someone who was so paranoid with a "knowledge of his own guilt" would be someone who would not even allow his employees to get even a chance to talk to let along petetion Romney about their plight.  The straw boss just said "Oh, they didn't look up because they are really dedicated to their work".  Yeah- - and they really put up barbed wire and suicide nets to keep others OUT.  Yeah, right.

Ya Habemos Papa

With what to me seems like extraordenary haste and "dexterity" (to use a Shakespherian word) the college of 115 cardinals has selected the next Pope.  White smoke came out the chimney apparently just after eleven o clock our time, or that's when I heard about it.  He is cardinal Jorge Mario Borgoglio of Argentina.  He is of Italian extraction.  He has chosen the name of Pope Francis, and he is the first pope to be called Francis, hard to believe as that is.  He is 76, which makes him almost as old as Pope Benedict XVI was when he was first elected.  He is into helping your fellow man and working with the poor and shuns many of the elaborate trappings of other Cardinals.  He is however Orthodox on all the hot button issues.  These are birth control, no gay marriage, no gay adoptions, and priests must remain celebate.  He used the phrase "brothers and sisters" to address the crowd.  He is the first Pope to be chosen from the "New World".  They say that some forty percent of the world's Catholics live in the Latin American countries, so the choice is well made.  I use the word "selected" rather than "Elected" because from a theological stance- I believe it's God who elects, and the cardinals presumably are plugged into God's will so they go through the physical process of Selecting that Pope.  President Obama is pleased.  It seems this Cardinal Borgoglio - - cane in second place last time in 2005 so in the Anne Romney tradition it was "his turn" and as such perhaps this speeded up the entire papal selection process.

Personally I believe there are seven kinds of prayer and seven sacriments.  The seven kinds of prayer are Adoration, Thanksgiving, Confession, Intercession, Supplication, Dedication or Consecration, and finally the prayer of Agreement, where you "stand on God's word" and Claim it for yourself.  Some suggest this is best done "by groups of two or three".  I believe the seven sacriments are Marriage, Baptism, Communion, Confession, Confirmation, Offering Dedication, and lest we forget- Funerals.  I believe that Funerals are exclusive for the comfort and edification of the Living, rather than the Dead.  I do not believe in either prayers for the Dead, nor do I believe in Baptism for the Dead, and in its own way Baptism for the dead ammounts to a form of "Spiritual rape".  I do not believe that any person can "Will himself to be saved" of his own human effort.  I believe we serve the Church at God's pleasure and that the date of our death is fixed, and when God is done with us, he lets us know it, but till then no power on Earth can either shorten or lengthen our Lives.  I do not believe that marriage survives death.  I do not believe you can "have your marriage sealed in heaven".  I believe there no prohibitions against either alcohol or tobacco or coffee, but I do believe that any "psycho-active" drug can and will harm us spiritually.  I believe that gambling for the purpose of "earning a fast buck" is a sin because it violates the work ethic.  I believe that Prostitution is wrong for the woman - but not for the man.  Call me sexist but I believe this is what the Bible teaches.  However God views Prostitution on the same level of Slavery- - as being undesirable, and one should seek at all cost to be liberated from it.  I believe any form of wage exploitation violates the work ethic- - and I also believe the Bible teaches that we are all of "one blood" and that all forms of racism are wrong.  OK - - - do I pass the audition?

It dawned on me last night that my worst fears about Police Officers is correct.  They believe - and one came out and admitted it - - that they'll shoot you and shoot to kill for "giving them attitude" and that it's better for you to make sure you kill the target because if he lives- and he gets to tell his story to a judge, the officer runs a risk the Judge might choose to believe his story over the Officer's, but if the victim is dead- that won't happen.  It dawned on me that- - - the greatest fear officers should have is that they gun someone down that actually HAS family and loved ones and money- and the drive and the where with all to file a Wrongful Death charge.  It struck me they should offer- - not shooters insurance but "getting shot by a police officer' insurance.  As Fred Mac Murry would say "Dollar for dollar it would be the best thing you've got going- - because at least theoretically- it would be something that almost never happens- - but when it does whoever you designate as beneficiary would suddenly become very rich.

Every day lately- rather than bring in some new story to discuss- - Randy Rhodes has been reviewing topics of general interest that liberals should be warned about.  Clearly these people have no moral credentials at all since Paul Ryan's favorite reading material, by his own words is Iyan Rand- and he has his subordenates read her.  Ayan Rand's life was about as far from Christian as one could possibly get.  Here in right wing land all the biggest war hawks were draft dodgers when they were young.  People like Clarence Thomas who benefited from government help themselves, pulled up the rungs of the rope ladder after they were safely aboard themselves.  Paul Ryan's family was connected with government contracts- and yet Paul Ryan attacks government.  Their first goal to "raid" is always programs for the poor and the disadvantage.  They repeat lies over and over again such as "Government spending costs jobs" and "Social Security will be bankrupt any day soon" and "The way to cut the deficet is to prune back or abolish Social Security".  They say they despize labor unions, and yet to even Be in the media like Shawn Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are- - you are Required to join a union such as ASCAP or whatever.  They claim to be best friends with Isrial- and yet few people in Israel would be able to stomach their right wing policies.  They claim they are fighting a "war on drugs" that targets mainly Black people, and yet they themselves- are hooked on drugs such as ozy conten.  They claim to be against gay life styles to the core of their being- - and yet they have gay relatives they care deeply about.  They say sexual molesting priests are not the fault of the catholic church but rather "The sinful nature of these times- and the ways of the World- - beginning to make its way into the Churches".  Many times they aren't personally opposed to a gay life style, but they'll campaign on it, if it gets them elected and puts them in good with "the right people".  They say that social media such as Facebook and Twitter have been taken over by the liberals.  They say that higher education without religious indoctrination is dangerous.  They are in the business of rewriting US History and dumbing down our children so they don't have the intellectual backbone to stand up to their idiotic campaign slogans.  Many times they talk about the virtues of a devout life - - yet they themselves haven't set food inside a Church in years.  They claim that ecology and energy conservation are some kind of socialist experiment "meant to bring down the capitalist economy".  They campaign as if the whole world were like then as the ultra fraction of one percent Richest People.  They complain they hate the poor presenting themselves as "victims" yet their whole campaign last year was portraying themselves - the rich as "victims" of the President's socialist economic policies.  They thing any hint of greater equity of national income is a communist plot.  They don't have a moral leg to stand on- - and yet don't believe Jesus either, when he said "Judge not (others whom you deem as inferior) lest you yourselves be Judged.

There is the persistint roomer or belief that there is "live weight" and then there is "dead weight" and it's believed by many that a dead body weighs more than the same person when he was in a living state, due to the fact that the human Soul actually tends to lighten the mass of the body.  Perhaps the Soul lives in this anti gravity world of lighter than graviton particles- - we've been discussing recently.  We have said before that another likely occurance of "The other side of the ether void" is the whole Inside - Outside reversal.  That is-  we look from inside our bodies out at the world.  Whereas our souls are somehow posessed of the ability not to be limited by geography- - and therefore as it was being in the place of "The rest of the World" looking back in on ourselves.  Some people believe in a little angel on our shoulder.  Even Jesus believed we had a guardian angel and the angels of those who have been Born Again "always behold the presence of the Father".  It also says that right now - - "Ya hay sitio en las alturas" pardon my bad Spanish.  We are even at this moment - - Seated in Heavenly Places.  Well, I guess maybe we can look to Pope Francis I for guidance on this and other subjects.

Is Wayne Dyre's Subjectivism Scientifically Vindicated?

Wayne Dyre is famous for the statement "When you change the way you look at things- - the things you look at - - Change".  So how do we apply this to science and physics?  Well- - look at the Ether of space.  Have you ever considered the fact that it's uniquely YOUR ether- - and not anyone else's?   Let's go back to a famous example of mine about why Einstein thinks it's impossible to exceed the speed of light.  And by the way I'm not like some speakers who do a lot of "Fogging".  "Fogging" is a term I apply to fast talking lawyers, or used car salesmen, or else preachers, or even a scientist to mean- - what is the equivelent of "smoke in mirrors" and a magician making an elephant disappear.  How are the smoke and mirrors employed?  They are employed to Distract- - the audience- to take their eyes off of "what is really going on".  In some places practicing "fogging" in a public address is an idea of invoking some "magic words" that no one dares question, and are accepted whole.  I don't ever want to "fog" with my readers.  You may remember those old E-mac or T-mac booklets with grammar lessons.  There was a "2400" and a more advanced "3200" one and they lead you step by step with each new concept- - like reading a Ron Hubbard publication- - that is- every time they throw out a new word at you they define it in terms of words that you DO know the meaning of.  This process is the same as programming a computer.  You introduce a new term to the computer and relate it in terms the computer Already Understands.  So I want there to be no excuses.  Now we continue - - -.

One of the best explanations as to how light behaves with a moving target is best illustrated by that of a motor boat on a placid lake.  You see the ripples forming the hyperbola or V shape.  There are longer waves tailing away- - and much shorter waves in front of you.  I've referred to this example many times, and it's certainly a useful one.  Now here is something you haven't thought of.  WHAT does the "Water" represent in this example.  Come on!  Answer me in 25 words or less.  OK, I'll help you out.  The "water" or "lake" in this example represents YOUR point of view.  That is- the lake is YOUR ether. Not necessarily anybody elses but yours alone.  So you ask, why do you need your Own Ether.  Have you ever thought about "stuff".  What are the things in your life that seem the most "massive' if you will, in terms of unrealized goals?  Perhaps a woman you are trying to get- - or a job- - or some sort of power and presteige.  Is it the things that are chasing YOU or the things YOU are chasing?  It's the things you are actively chassing after that assume a Magnitude or Importance to you that they would NOT if you were NOT chasing after then.  Now turn the example around.  What are the things you are the most afraid of?  Are they the things you turn and face immediately to "stare them down" or things you ignore- - OR are they the things you are inwardly running FROM.  Once again- the things you are running FROM - -those phantoms too horrible to even contemplate or face- are the things that assume the most magnitude.  Here's an example.  Have you seen a sleeping cat and endeavored to pet it or even pick it up.  If the cat does this paw swipe at you - - a "brush back" if you will- - this will detur a lot of people right then.  In other words, a little proactive action of the cat will dispell the problem right off the bat before it goes any further.  Interestingly - - the waves propigated by any object- - are always the same size no matter the direction of reference of the Receiver.  We said that an object with a blue shift- - and another like object with a red shift in the sky- - assuming both stars the same composition - - BOTH are sending OUT the same kind of light waves.  One is not red and the other blue shifted but both are alike.  It's only the frame of reference of the receiver- - the "moving zero reference point" that changes the perception of the waves.  We see it again in the Expanding Universe.  You may wonder how if things are expanding from some primal "Central stationary point" why could this fixed point be deducable no matter how large the field of stars because "all you have to do is look for the point of origen.  But then we have the example of the expanding rising yeast dough.  If every point is expanding equally with reference to every other point- - - just where "Stationary" point is- - depends on your "moving zero point".  If your own reference point is moving with respect to that of another- - they will see Their own reference point as the "primal center' and you will see YOUR reference point as the "fixed point of origen" or whatever.  And nobody can say Which point is valid, because in truth, both are equally valid.  I'll repeat an axiom used in our last posting.  "Any Belief that can be picked up and embraced on a total lack of material evidence- - that Belief can Just as Easily be dismissed and rightly abandoned- - on No Evidence.  In other words you don't need to Prove your reason for "abandoning the Faith" if there was no evidence FOR that Faith- - to begin with.

I would now like to get back to the mechanics of- - - how- - if you are coming Toward a light source or the light is coming tword you- - at a fast enough rate- - it will cease to be a Measurable part of your world.  For instance- - continuing with our illustrations above- - it's always the people who say that God was chasing or "pursuing" them or they were "running from God" - - who seem to hold God with the most Importance..  If you are me who has spend a large ammount of investment-  "chasing after God" I often say "With the abandon of a school girl chasing after a rock star" - - those are the people to whom God seems to slip away like grains of sand in the ocean or a mirage you are chasing.  We physically know why if you stop chassing a mirage and go the other way- - that same "mirage" will begin chasing you.  We have physical laws for that.  But the physical laws concerning light are just as valid.  For instance- - reason would dictate if you are approaching a light source- - then light for you should under newtonian math- increase in relative approach speed.  But we know that it doesn't.  Because the light behaves- like that motorboat example- - as though it's all YOUR ether and NOT the ether from the sending point.  So just as a boat traveling faster than the waves it emits- - there is no way a Wave could "get to you in time for you to even see it".   It's like that time I told you I was crossing Holder St at Lincoln Avenue in November of 1989 and I had taken too many contacs and I was a little dazed.  And then this "whosh" and a car whizes by and the next instant I'm in a panic and I'm looking and seeing that I am standing Between - - the skid marks.  "How could that be?"  There is a karmic thing about- - how if your karma is a certain way- - - it affects how or even IF a certain good or bad event will cross your path- - even if all rights, it should.  Many take this to be some volitional "attraction" generated by your own brain will.  But I maintain it's a bit less volitional than that.  When you think about it- - - the only reason why YOU never experiance "ether wind" is because YOUR ether is always stationary with respect to YOU.  Actually YOU can become heavier or lighter yourself or increased or decreased in Magnitude in the eyes of other people- - depending on your own vector of motion- - with respect to the other party.

I would like to return to that hyperbola model of the Creation of the Universe- and instead see that example as a metaphor, and perhaps more than that- - of the evolution of the human soul.  One might liken this "Good mass" at the beginning of Life- - as the action of Being Born.  When you are born you don't relate Cause to Effect.  Children are often governed by passions they can't control- or do things for reasons even they themselves don't understand.  Various children has a Predisposition or bent- twords different types of actions and methods for handeling their problem, which varies from child to child.  I am not here to say which method is more valid than another.  But as Time goes by- - if Life goes as it should- - you should be able to "get the affairs of your life in order" so that they are Arranged the way you want them to be- - much as God uses the presence of Time itself to Order the events of the universe.  Hopefully this will build up a hyperbola of progress- - or achievement in your life.

Some will remember we have spoken of matter, if you can call it that, which is lighter rather than heavier than the surrounding Ether.  But can you get lighter or heavier with respect to how your friends See you?  We's said that you can.  Hypothetically you can come to weigh almost zero even under Einsteins classic special theory of relativity doing the math.  It's funny how Einstein answers the question of "fast" verses "slow" light we first discussed in the fall of 2009.  With approaching objects it's obviously "slow' light to slow light speed DOWN to 1186,000 miles per second.  One could say that here is a case where time itself was becomming compressed.  We are used to speaking only of expanded time with objects moving apart, but what goes apart can come together again.  So you have this compressed time, and at some etherial point- - your weight and Time as seen of you BY other people- would about stop.  So the only question is whether- - Time- - can even be measured in a lighter than ether world.  Normally we just say that such objects of disperate speeds- - Vanish from each other's universe.  They are no longer in each other's event horizons.  This again is a case where "My Space" might be difference from Your Space, and not just in television reception areas.

I have used the phrase of mixing your metaphors, or more precisely "confusing your metaphors".  Because, for instance, some graphs- all really - all charts and diagrams and maps- - are projections using some ""convention" or unit of measurement.  In maps and archetecture- - feet and inches and miles are the coin of the realm.  Trigonometry relies not on distance, per se, but on degrees of angle.  Size doesn't matter.  Unless you're a woman.  "Natural trig" as it were "gets the job done" using only degrees and ratio coordenates.  Many people think the Universe is shaped like a soap bubble with most of the mass on the thin surface.  This assertion is right- but perhaps for a completely different than you think.  The whole "Expanding time and space" model of the Universe- - is a metaphor based not on space but exclusively- and I said exclusively on time.  We have used the karmic forces metaphor - the funnel thing- based- - entirely on the notion of karmic forces and dimensions.  Hyperbolic trig uses the medium- not of any of the foregoing- but of events.  There are the hypothetical outcome possabilities.  This is the high number.  Then there are the "Events" themselves, or chances taken.  Then there is the ratio between hypothetical opportunities- - and the chance "success" or "repeat" number, which can be in is often above One, but the ratio or probability of repeat or success is never above one.  The one area where the soap bubble model holds true is in what we call the "sequestered space" of the Black Hole.  This is based on the model of exploding mater inside sequestered space.  We know such "esplosions" or births took place long ago- - most likely.  We also know that- - in an explosion- - the edge of it accelerates the most quickly- but the explosion is going out in all directions.  We know that accelerat-ING matter- - we've said this many times- - is an area where indeed space "shrinks down" IN the direction is travel but that it is NOT detectable by the subject, any more than high blood pressure can be felt, but it's real none the less.  Given the model of addition of forces that Einstein got from that other phycicist and is the keystone of this sort of hyper speed calculation- - we know that for REAL ie non recripical changes- -  we know that this formula - - will in its model have a fixed termanus point both of Measured distance- and Measured speed.  (I deliberately said Measured- and not Actual)  As Measured from outside the Black Hole- - the ammount of Space in a Black Hole is prescribed- - meaning- pre set, pre alloted.  But as in the case of the railroad tracks going off endlessly to the horizon in an art picture- - to the subjects in the black hole- - - they have no way of suspecting Space is being dramatically squeezed.  Essentially- - - Black Holes are limited in expending at the speed of light- as viewed from US from Outside the Black Hole.  But for a person inside the black hole- -  - searching for the edge or termanus of the universe would prove an endless, if not impossible task.  Many astronomers claim that such cosmic "Creation" or birth explosions occur so quickly- - the entire thing takes place in a matter of seconds, or less.  We have ONE MORE METAPHOR for you so hold tight.  Some of you may ask "What if lighter than Ether matter?  What is existance There like?  Well- if time Stops when your mass hits zero - - -  one might infer some reverse progression "On the Other Side of the Ether".  But keep in mind- - trying to generate ether waves on That Side of the Ether- would be problematical- given the magnitude of each of those ringged graviton particles.  However- - there IS a school of thought- and I'll close with this- that insists on a certain bi-latteral symetry of certain things.  So indeed that "Super Self" theory we had a few years ago- may still yet have life.  You will remember this "Super Self" already KNOWS your future, because they have lived it.  If there is some way of "connecting" to that "entity in the mirror' so to speak- then presumably one could learn from one's own experiances from his own future.  Your "lessons" would not be past experiances of others that they went through but your OWN experiances that you are destined to experiance first hand.  (Selah)

My Reality is Your Nightmare & Visa Versa

They say that you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.  But a Romney aid last year made it plain that they weren’t “going to let the fact checkers hamper how their campaign was conducted”.  More so than liberalism- - the Conservative mindset is a system highly based on the virtual deification of a system of Beliefs rather than facts.  They intent their “Truths’ as they call them, and then immediately certify them as “Eternal Truths” even is there is little or no historic basis for most of them.  Paul Ryan is convinced his economic plan is the correct one and that the President’s plan will wreck the economy.  The President asserts just the opposite.  To solve this riddle as to which view is the correct one they don’t check to see which one is factually based and supported by respected economic theories.  But rather they will reason “Well the President is BLACK and you KNOW how Blacks are” - - and this satisfies their constituency.  Personally I honestly don’t know whether the Affordable Care Act will help or hinder the economy.  The democrats say if we abolished it today it would indeed Cost us money tomorrow.  I’ve heard from others that the average health care bill will be hiked something fierce under Obama care.  I’ve also heard that droves of doctors will leave the medical profession because Obama care will continue to make their practice of medicine unaffordable.  Randy Rhodes’ topic of the day was criminal prosecutions- - or the lack of them - - in the Wall Street community.  They say “too big to fail” is “too big to prosecute”.  They claim that all a Chief Executive Officer needs to say is “I was given bad advice by my subordenates” and they are off the hook.  I’d like to see the passage in any legal book that asserts that the man at the top can jump ship - - in his “golden parachute” and be responsible for nothing.  Randy asserts that “Going to trial is usually the Worst decision any disputing party can make”.  She goes on to say that - - for some strange reason- - it’s always vastly more profitable for the companies to settle up and pay a fine that is only but a fraction of the profits  that were ill gotten.  It would be as if you held up a bank and stole a hundred thousand dollars, and got fined ten thousand for your act and got to keep the other ninety thousand.  She said that Elizabeth Warren is highly assertive for a freshman senator, because they are told to “be seen and not heard” and all of that.

 March 12^th is Juliet Low day is it not, founder of the Girl Scouts.  It’s been fully a month since that Latino mother and daughter were shot at by cops, wasting their truck.  They promised them a new one within a week and so far have not been forth coming.  What about damage to the neighborhood.  I bet Cops actually mortally shoot more people just by “mistake”  by a factor of three more - - than cops who are ever killed by criminals.   I’ll go further and say that the number of shootings that “rise to the threat” of a TV drama- - are in a decided minority of police shootings.  I would wager that the vast majority of the time a cop kills someone they were in no real danger by the criminal - - except of course “in their own minds”.  And in many states now after tea party action- - if you feel threatened “in your own mind” having to prove nothing- - you are exhonorated.  Here’s a wise saying of the day.  Dig this.  Any belief that can be picked up and embraced without any evidence- -  (such as “in Faith”) can just as easily be discarded without any evidence.  Chew on that one a little, Neil Savedra.  [material left out here ] We got our pancakes and sausage one minute short of the all time record at nine minutes after eight.  Paul gave me his entire plate with two more pancakes and three sausages, one of which I gave to Jay.  So I ended up having three sausages and four pancakes – so it was worth the wait.  However the pancakes were all a bit underdone and could have used a little more syrup.  Since it’s non threatening food my innards feel much better.  Right now Stephanie Miller is talking about Paul Ryan’s double flip flop on that 750 Billion dollars in savings.  One minute they’re a part of his plan too.  Then during the Romney campaign Ryan and Judy came out against the 750 billion in cuts saying “It’s just a plot to wreck medicare as we know it to put single payer health care in place”.  The logical problem here is that nobody is even vaguely suggesting the possibility of single payer health care.  But now Paul Ryan has come out again to being in favor of the 750 billion in cuts.

  We had cheeseburgers for lunch and onion rings, a novelty here.  We had that mushroom soup they have so often now.  We had mixed fruit.  Seconds weren’t a factor today.  Sarah weighed me and I weighed 153, which means my weight is static.  It’s still an open question whether something is wrong with my metrabolism or not.  I grew drowsy during noon Randy Rhodes.  Christine Di Mira is so sickening to even be around- - that I don’t see how she can stand to even look at herself in the mirror without vomiting.  I went down for afternoon coffee break and got two cups from Dora.  Leeshia asked me where money draw would be held but I was uninformed myself.  Money draw was called about three o clock in the front room and the line proved short.  I only was allotted five dollars.  So I decided to use my debit card and buy coffee and also creamer, and two packs of John Black grape.  I still have the five dollars in cash.  I owe Janet a dollar.  I am in hock now and have to get that money back in my Chase account by the 23^rd or get socked with a heavy overdraft.  I made a batch of coffee, and I appreciated the lift.  

So – would “So help me, God” be “Entoncess me ayuda dios?”  “Quien sabe?”  This is at five o clock and we are in concrete.  This is Tuesday March 12, 2013, and black smoke came up from the one vote the cardinals took today at the opening of the Conclave.  Of course “clave” is the past tense of “cleve” just as “trod” is the past tense of “tread” and “smote” is the past tense of “smite”.  Alright quickly, give me the present tense of “slew”.  We had Chinese stir fry for dimmer and today I was given a social brush back.  Jay accused me of “engaging in small talk”.  I’ll tell you exactly what I said.  He went across the room to get ice tea.  I responded by saying “You’re lucky you got it because Elizabeth and Oscar are picky that way.  But it’s good tea even though I don’t drink it.  I kind of at some point found ice tea incompatable with my alcoholism”.  That was pretty much it.  Jay has gone on monologs easily five times that long talking about science in a bag of mixed metaphors and examples denoting major mental confusion.  And I never complained about him.  Dora was in charge of seconds and made it all the way around the room.  But first Loretta gave me part of her triple decker peanut butter sandwich and some potato chips, and Paul gave me extra meat.  We had chocolate pudding for desert.  Jim is in for a rude awakening if he thinks anything can successfully clean that glass table outside.  Nothing short of sandblasting or something will fix that glass top.  Last night I read a generous portion of Al Gore’s book of 2007, “An Assault on Reason” and I ended up apparently boring Marsha with that one.  Maybe some of these people should flash a yellow light ten seconds of the point where they think they’ve heard enough, so I’ll know when to stop.  I paid Marsha the cigarettes I owed her and paid Larry Barton the six cigarettes I owed him, and Paul the two I owed him.

In weeks old Federation news - - Donavin and Country Joe and the Fish have excellent Denelus II credentials.  According to Black Bart the group "The Raiders" has a Denelus II annointing, but Mark Lindsey himself does not.  The very early Turtles and Grass Roots stuff started out Denelus II but both  lost the annointing very quickly.  Ditto for the Young Rancals.  The Turtles lost it at the end of 1965 and the Grass Roots lost it in early 1968 sometime and the young Rascles lost it prior to spring of 1967.  The Turtles and the Young Rascles both became affiliated a group notitable for a lot of late sixties pap- - including B J Thomas and Jackie De Shannon.  Blue Oyster Cult is an atypical Sirius "0" group- with a strong Atlanta Romulans affiliation.  Blue Oyster Cult is the only Sirius "0" group in the ZAC tarrot deck that I'm aware of.  I have to go.  With the Men in Black now out of the room, we can continue.  AC DC so far as my addeled brain can recall is the only Sirius "B" group and the second oldest of the Sirius B groups.  Disco station fans in LA may have a leg up on guessing the oldest group - or not.  Jethro Tull and David Bowie are the two Drewanian representatives.  "Blondie" contrary to what some believe is not a Drewanian group but "a proprietary Federation group" meaning- - they were a small outfit that was assimilated by the Federation.  Others from this outfit not in the tarrot deck are "Berlin" "Soft Cell" the "Eurithmics"  "Killer Pussy" and the B 52's.  Queen is Cremorian and ELO is Rizzonian - - and we aren't going to do all of them now.  I've been having Copy and Paste problems assembling this posting and i hope I haven't screwed up my own documents either.  Now all we need is a photo.
