"Just remember, children, Santa Clause is still white - but the Cheerios today are not the ones that your Grandmother enjoyed"
There is still a lot of ugly, naked racism out there. There is this ugly roomer going around being propigated by "token Negroes" so to speak, such as Herman Cane, that says "President Lyndon Johnson once told two southern governors that "If I can get this Civil Rights bill passed, I'll have those Niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years". But this "remark" only dates from 1995 and first appeared in a book called "Inside the White House" or something, put out by a fringe right winger, but with which conservative Black politicians love to quote. I don't know about you but I'm getting pretty tired of people insulting our intelligence. It's almost as if the Republicans are now telling minorities that "You people are too dumb to know who is really insulting you and who really loves you". You see this line used on minorities of all stripes such as blacks, and women, the old, the poor, people accused of mental illness, ect. Nobody is buying this fioux "racial sensitivity" any more than that fat teenage girl who testified in the Trayvon Martin trial was some kind of a closet racist which the attorney had to "expose". And of course we hear "Obama is a racist" and "Obama has a hatred of all White people". The latest bruo-ha-ha (another word I've never used personally before) is over this Coca Cola commercial which features "America the Beautiful" sung in all different languages. Of course now there is a roomer that the woman who wrote that song was actually a lezbian. Hell, even if it's not true it makes a good story. But seriously folks- - why does this British guy names Stain who fills in for Rush get so upset over the idea that America would embrace other cultures. He is obsessed that America is becoming a multi-lingural country. Europe only wishes we WOULD become that. Lies are told, and Hartman called one guy out on it who said "Mexicans are not a bi-lingual country the way we are in the United States". This is of course another lie, but in the tea party lies are believed as readily as they can be invented. Actually on the "Mind Games" album the song "Only People" is pretty much a musical rip-off of the Coca Cola jingle of over forty years ago. But it's really strange for someone with such a pronounced "foreign" (British) accent of his own lecturing Americans on Patriotism, of whatever he calls the sort of racial jingoism he sponsors. And the last I heard doesn't England use the Euro? Meanwhile we in the United States still have "In God We Trust "printed on our money.
You know we should all boycott PBS. Because they they have a long standing relationship with Archer Daniel Midland corporation or whatever, that along with Monsanto and Dow Chemical are heavily into genetically modified foods. Clearly this "Public Broadcast" television is owned by corporate America, and on the Mc Laughlin group- - most sessions are dominated by the voice of the tea party right. It seems that with each passing year they slip in more and more ads. As they, I suspect, have to increasingly keep compromizing their product to remain "economically viable". Remember what I said in a recent post that not everything that is "Expediant" is also "Prudent".
The past year and a
half – the past eighteen months- something has been “off” with the Cosmos. I’ll tell you one thing that’s changed with
me in this year and a half period is that I have lost all respect for President
Obama. His mere mention fills me with
disgust. There have been seven major
betrayals by this President in that period - - all of the gravest “moral
perpitude” as they say, that show a severe lack of moral character and a broken
moral compass. Let’s take then in
order. The first was early on when the
President did not make gun violence and regulation a major theme of his
campaign, and he easily could have started with this in his acceptance speech
at the convention. We already had
experienced Aurora Colorado and many other shooting events as of then. The second was this allegation made by Randy
Rhodes, if she’ll stick by it- - that President Obama and Governor Christie
both made a “Devil’s pact”. Governor
Christie would embrace Obama after Sandy and be photographed with him, and at
the same time Christie would spurn Romney, and in exchange the Democratic Party
would not mount serious opposition or support to Christie’s campaign for
reelection as Governor. The third was
that this President was willing to put Social Security on the chopping block as
part of some “grand bargain” despite the fact that the poor are already receiving
far below the inflation rate. Now Bill Handel sees no problem with Jerry Brown
not doing more to restore previous cutbacks to the poor, but as President to
write off a vast segment of the population is politically suicidal, and yet he
got away with it. The fourth is the
refusal or decline of AG Eric Holder to file Civil Rights violations charges in
the Trayvon Martin case. This is despite
the fact this case is far more “black and white” than the Rodney King beating
case, where the Bush administration did file charges- - and won. The fifth is this Keystone XL Pipeline
thing. We’ve discussed this one at
length. Now Secretary of State Kerry
issues this ‘official report” for what it is worth- - saying there is no
environmental problem with the pipeline.
The sixth is the Pan Pacific Trade agreement. We have also discussed the perils of
this. Perhaps you can guess number
seven. It’s President Obama repeatedly
telling us ad nausium that “If you like your health care plan, and your doctor,
you can keep it”. This lie was told so
repeatedly that there is no possible way the President can say “I never said
it”. There is no doubt the saying was
meant to deceive. Of course with – as
raised on one show- - if a twenty year old has lost both of his parents, he can’t piggy back on anybody else but has
to buy his own health care. But does so
knowing that he will be subsidizing the oldest and sickest in the population- -
and knows that it’s a whole lot cheaper to just go on and pay the ninety-five
dollar penalty, or is it a “tax”; I forget now. From a cosmic point of view- - an adverse
development has happened with the Federation and Mal Evans is holding the bag-
- or a lot of the problem- - I could Google the exact date of the “incident”
because it manifested itself in this world, too. But for this reason it isn’t that Mal Evans’
leadership is in jeopardy as such - - - but more a case of the most sacred
values of the Federation being, shall we say, “Contaminated”. In my personal life September of 2012 stands
out as a time when things got worse for me on two or three fronts. You may ask “Can all of this so called cosmic
damage be undone- - or a little hocus pocus done to eliminate it?” The answer is “I don’t know but I sure hope
so”. One could hope some favorable
Astrological configuration would develop or something. But as of right now, let’s just say “Evil has
its foot on the neck of Good”.
There were more
Catholic num horror stories on the Katie Kuric show. You know that in Ireland that women don’t fare
very well regardless, and strange things happen in convents, as well under the
covers with priests and little boys. But
then they had this American story about a woman who graduated high school in
1965, which isn’t exactly the middle ages.
She remarked that her boyfriend had been a virgin up till them, but didn’t
report on herself. Anyhow of course she
became pregnant, and the boyfriend’s parents didn’t approve of her and blocked
the marriage. Then she got shipped off
to a nunnary or something, where she was forced to promise to give up her
unborn baby. If you ever express doubts
as to giving up the child, you are put in isolation for having “negative
thoughts’ and you could “contaminate the other girls”. This sounds like something they would do in
the church of Scientology. The girls are
told “You will never think of this incident again - - you will put it totally
out of your mind”. So I’m wondering how
many “others” (you know - the little
boys) are told to “put things out of their minds”.
Today was Tech
Tuesday. They have invented a kind of
cohesive sand that holds together like wet sand, but it’s more stable and it’s
that consistency all the time. It’s
mixed with a two percent polymer of some sort.
You can build and mold and sculpt with it better than you can with
actual sand, and apparently it won’t dry out.
There are also some child’s pajamas with little magic dots on them, and
each dot when passed over with a wand or something, will give you a reading of
your child’s favorite bedtime story, such as Sleeping Beauty. There is a type of eggless cookie dough that “it’s
OK for your child to eat”. That’s all
fine and good, but the real question is whether you can use this apparently vegan
dough to actually bake cookies? There
was some kind of a magic ball with programming that can apparently change
colors and shapes or something- - and I admit I wasn’t mentally totally
tracking with that one. Thom Hartman
says that in Korea and “many developed nations” the download and stuff averages
one gigabyte per second, or about twenty times faster than our fastest
lightning speed internet providers just now being advertized in the United
States as really hot stuff. I wondered
how you could possibly physically have some internet provider that’s in excess
of three hundred times what I am using for my internet source right now, which
is less than three megs. I have no
idea. It does seem that in so many
areas, such as employee protections, the United States is lagging far behind
the rest of the developed world, and this is a sad state of affairs. It should not be that way.
According to one book
author there are three reasons why a race or culture will go right to the top
of the graduating class and earn the highest incomes and get good jobs. The first is a sense of “racial pride” or a
sense of “chosenness” or some call it a “superiority complex” like things they
were told as little children by their parents.
The second is a sense of “being persecuted” and constantly “challenged’
by others and put on the defensive, as though they constantly have to justify
themselves. The first is one you hear a
lot. It’s discipline from a young age
and a strong sense of “deferred gratification” (Didn’t you hate that phrase in
sex education class?) and “impulse control”.
These races and cultures are the usual suspects for the most part. You have people from India, people from Iran,
and “Asians” or more to the point, Vietnamese, Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese,
as well as Nigerians among the Black peoples, who perform 25 times as well as
any other Blacks. Someone said Nigerians
compose 25% of the class of some Tech Majors.
Then you have of course the Mormons, and interestingly, not to leave the
Latinos out but the Cubans have this “superiority complex” good and
strong. It is pointed out by this book
author that most often this occurs with first and second generation immigrants
to this country and this “effect’ wears off in time. Jewish people weren’t mentioned, which is
puzzling because the Jewish people at large are known everywhere as
intellectuals.
