Apocalypsed Out

What if there is no apocalypse? What if there is no End Time?

Each generation waits for the end and, interestingly enough, it never comes on a macro scale. Each generation reads the signs, preps for it, and passes to the grave without seeing its fulfillment.

It is possible that the end time mythos is archetypal as well and speaks more to the internal, spiritual/emotional/intellectual growth process as illustrated through personal paradigm shift rather than an actual description of global events.

How many of us here on this forum have experienced this kind of personal Armageddon?
How many of us have been born again from the ashes? Gone through a kind of ego death, rested for a season and been raised up as a “new man”? I think the End Time scenario fits well within my personal growth experiences.

I was raised under the looming threat of global thermo-nuclear annihilation. I was taught to prepare for the end each and every year of my young life. I was so indoctrinated in End Time theory that I fell into a mild depression, convinced that the Second Coming would occur before Lucas would be able to finish the Star Wars saga. Imagine my surprise, and absolute glee, as I sat and watched Episode VI in a modern, climate controlled, stadium style, Dolby surround sound theater.

I don’t plan on the end anymore. I just try and enjoy each day as it dawns.

Indecision Limbo

SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO

Oh yeeeeeaaaaah

Wooh!

Darling you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I’ll be here ’til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day is fine, next day is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An’ if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know!

This indecision’s bugging me
Esta indecision me molesta
If you don’t want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly whom I’m supposed to be
Dime que tengo que ser
Don’t you know which clothes even fit me?
¿sabes que ropas me quedan?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
¿me debo ir o quedarme?

Split!
Yo me enfrio o lo sufro

Should I stay or should I go now?
yo me enfrio o lo sufro
Should I stay or should I go now?
yo me enfrio o lo sufro
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy - va a haber peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Pero me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I go?
yo me enfrio o lo sufro

Should I stay or should I go now?
yo me enfrio o lo sufro
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy - va a haber peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Pero me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?

The Clash

Conservative Moderation

As a fellow prick kicker, I have my beef with Mormon conceptual moderation and balance. How can you be balanced and moderate and practice any form of abstinence??? Isn’t that imbalanced and biased by very nature? Doesn’t “moderation in all things” presuppose a measured, controlled “indulgence in all things”? Otherwise, wouldn’t it say “moderation in all things within certain prescribed parameters that don’t include all things”…?

Praying for Mad Skills in Archetypal Recognition

On a metaphysical level, “cure” denotes an end to a condition. It can also equal “death” of the condition resulting from death of the host. In my Tarot tradition, both can be symbolized by the same card and careful, detailed questioning can divine which the case is.

The universe manifests archetypically through the vessel (us) and is expressed through the lexicon, the expressive toolbox, of the intermediary. If an individual is not aware of this process and is unschooled regarding the relative, concrete nature of the universal voice, some serious misunderstanding can occur… especially regarding temporal time and space. If a time frame of say, six months, is presented in a blessing, reading, divination (all the same BTW), inquiry into the relative location pertaining to the time frame must be conducted. ( IE what entity are you accessing and what does time mean on that particular sphere of existence.)

God’s time is not our time.

In the Mormon Cosmos, God resides on a planet with differing physics and vastly expanded rates of rotation that effect the concept of linear time. If that particular God is the source of the communication, then schedules are adjusted according to the timetable of the origin. Six months could be 9/100th of a second. If that’s the case, a couple of months, or even a few years variation on the Earth scale isn’t a bad forecast.

Blah, blah…all mystical stuff right? But, in the forth and fifth dimensional world of thought and belief, a mystical mindset is the prerequisite for manifestation in third dimensional space and time. First we imagine and visualize, then we create in the material world. It’s not magic, just a natural process of creation. All things are created spiritually before they can be created physically, from IPods to lasagna. All things are conceived in the mind before being created in the factory.

The key to accurate expression in divination/blessings/tarot etc is a basic understanding of universal archetypes. The Mormon tradition is very rich in archetypal references. All divinatory work and spell work (prayer) conducted within the LDS framework must be according to established archetypes if a concise translation of the cosmic message, voice of God, is to be transmitted through the receiver to the asker. Both must understand the nuances associated with the archetypes if an accurate reading is to be obtained.

All prayers are answered. Sometimes we don’t understand the archetypal references and we limit our own ability to recognize the fulfillment.

Once again, "healing" may be an archetypal metaphor denoting a state of change in a particular health related condition. It could denote cessation of the condition itself, even if it is caused by the death of the physical body. There is no paradox here. No crisis of faith. Especially with an eternal perspective. Death and healing can be the same thing. That's why it is sooo vital to actually have semantic knowledge and complete understanding of that particular archetypal lexicon formulated on our own, core belief systems.

Thoughts and feelings evoke words. Words transmit thoughts and feelings through the air, where they are translated back in to thoughts and feelings. There is a great deal of margin for error. Ultimately, we should each try and establish a direct, intimate link to our Creator as to minimize the mistranslation.

I am really not sure where gender fits into the picture, or why it would be a prerequisite for anyone becoming a vessel. I think a childlike spirit would be the desired condition…

Chaos as The Order of Equity

Chaos doesn’t equate to lack of order. It refers to a fractal universe where exact patterns emerge simultaneously at increasingly infinite and infinitesimal intervals along an infinite continuum. The phrase “As above, so below” and the concept of man being created in the “express image of God’ speaks to this concept. God is, essentially, part of a fractal paradigm that includes us, as perfect fractal copies.

Conceptually, fractals are essential in chaos theory.

I still maintain that the archetypal representation of God as presented in the LDS religion is a rudimentary discourse on the basic tenets of chaos theory and fractal universe theory. Might even touch a dab or two on the holographic universe…

Thy will be done', 'the glory be thine', 'that they may learn good from evil', etc... All are mantras of those espousing a strong internal locus of control. Each is an affirmation of the chaotic, fractal, natural evolving tendencies within the existent universe. An admission that personal choice, on a macro scale, will always lead to resonance with creation. A realization that kicking against the pricks will lead to the same conclusion… that human choice is an illusion on the cosmic level. An internal locus of control establishes knowledge that governs the individual BY the individual and does not require an external structure to enforce beliefs or behavior.

We cannot escape from, barter with, bribe, influence or otherwise change the God-fractal, regardless of our perceived ability to do so or our mistaken notions of autonomy or free will.

Any and all latitude within the fractal is within the predetermined matrix and parameters of the fractal itself, within the parameters of our creation. We cannot step beyond the boundaries that define us without passing through the chaotic void that separates us from higher and lower fractal states. If this ability exists, it exists within a paradigm that incorporates, anticipates and facilities such change. Not beyond it.

We really can’t escape the matrix.

Chaos Theory speaks to an underlying order that occurs naturally and unavoidably, a system that works randomly upon its own consummate parts, a system unaware of the individual choices or actions of those it is composed of. It moves eternally and ponderously in an almost binary fashion. It is alarmingly fair and alarmingly rational.

The War in Heaven mythos appears to show that The Christ archetype understood the fractal nature of God and Satan did not. Christ advocated allowing things to unfold naturally and acknowledged that God, as the archetypal medium, lent structure through chaos. Satan’s stance advocated an attempt to impose structure as a means of establishing patterns within the cosmic stream and wanted to create, fundamentally, a system based on his particular frequency modulation as opposed to that represented in the God-medium.
It could be argued that “cast down” refers to a frequency modulation toward the denser end of the spectrum, the physical end where, demonstrably, solids are formed and governed on the macro scale as opposed to the quantum scale. In a very real way, then, he is the God of this world, as it was created in his effective energy range. A physical, more tangible, sensate, darker, more congealed energy.

This could be a parabolic explanation of an elegant macro-micro theory of physics. Maybe the unifying theory of all matter?????

In other mystical traditions, the major players in the War in Heaven are represented anthropomorphically as well, as a way to embody the essential message without presupposing a possession of a thorough knowledge of quantum physics. Christ and Lucifer (incidentally the bearer of light…. Or son of the morning) represent the eternal dance of structure and chaos. God the Father represents the kinetic potential vibrating within the great void and the emanation of the primal spore, word or vibration…the impetus that impregnates the void with life frequency. Nothing mystical, just quantum physicas… God the Mother represents the spirit of God moving upon the water, or the nurturing of the orphic egg that ushers in creation. These archetypes are universal. Not exclusive to LDS theory at all. It’s a mistake to miss the forest for the trees, to mistake semantics for actual archetypal substance.

Maybe we are still looking at the eclipse and trembling in fear….

Ganging Up on the Fed

Should we, like the Sons of Liberty, encourage gangs and thugs to incite violence against the rising tide of oppression fueled by rabid Federal power grabs? Maybe. I'm just sayin..

It wouldn't be a new idea, or a particularly unAmerican concept...it has been done before.

The two original Sons of Liberty organizations (New York City and Boston) quickly established correspondence and communications with ever emerging Sons of Liberty groups in New England, the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia. Typically, members of this organization were men from the middle and upper classes of American colonial society. Although the movement began as a secret society, for reasons of safety and anonymity, the organization quickly sought to build a broad, public base of political support among the colonists. Frequently, cooperation with undisciplined and extralegal groups (city gangs) set off violent actions. Even though the Sons seldom looked for violent solutions and eruptions, they did continue to elicit and promote political upheaval that tended to favor crowd action.

"Crowd action". Hmmmmm. Patriot or Terrorist, guess that depends on your point of view.

Carbonized and Ready for the Scrumping

Holy Smokes, or rather, carbon!

We are about to be bamboozled yet again by the greedy parsites of industry and govenmnet. When, I wonder, would it be a good idea to pluck their engorged bodies from our festering wounds and throw them into the flames?? Now might be good. Before they TAX OUR FREAKING AIR...oops, too late.

New Jersey WatchDog states that they are actually planning on creating an entire derivitives market based on carbon credits, as if TPTB haven't completely bent us all over the economic sofa in EVERY OTHER CATAGORY of derivitive. BTW.. isn't a derivitive basically a "bet" on future performance? Shouldn't that be illegal?

Wikipedia says ...A derivative is a financial instrument - or more simply, an agreement between two people or two parties - that has a value determined by the price of something else (called the underlying).[1] It is a financial contract with a value linked to the expected future price movements of the asset it is linked to - such as a share or a currency. There are many kinds of derivatives, with the most notable being swaps, futures, and options. However, since a derivative can be placed on any sort of security, the scope of all derivatives possible is nearly endless.

Thus, the real definition of a derivative is an agreement between two parties that is contingent on a future outcome of the underlying.

(bet [bɛt]
n
1. an agreement between two parties that a sum of money or other stake will be paid by the loser to the party who correctly predicts the outcome of an event.

Jeepers...that sounds like the same thing. Hmmmm.

Referring to derivatives as stand-alone assets would be a misconception, since a derivative is incapable of having value of its own.

THE DERIVATIVE HAS NO VALUE??? IT DOESN'T EXIST AS A COMMODITY???

However, some more commonplace derivatives, such as swaps, futures, and options, (which have a theoretical face value that can be calculated using formulas, such as Black-Scholes), have been traded on markets before their expiration date as if they were assets.

Soooo. Does that mean any fees, interest or other debt associated with the non valued derivative have a value equal to it...ZIPPO?

The financial industry is preparing a marketplace to handle billions and trillions of dollars of deals – a hot new category of investments to make everyone forget about sub-prime mortgages.

Derivative investments vehicles based on carbon dioxide emissions and RGGI permits are already available through two secondary markets – the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange and the Green Exchange.

Those markets are backed by giants in the financial world. The Green Exchange (GreenEx) is owned by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and other equity partners. The Chicago Climate Futures Exchange (CCFC) was recently purchased by IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE), which operates the world’s largest energy trading platform.

Though Congress failed to pass legislation for a nationwide system, RGGI ensures that cap-and-trade remains alive in the U.S. The scheme has friends in high places, both on Wall Street and within the Obama Administration. EPA Commissioner Lisa P. Jackson was first vice-chair of RGGI in 2008 while head of NJDEP.

RGGI is the prototype for two other mandatory regional systems scheduled to start in 2012. The Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord will bring cap-and-trade to Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas. The Western Climate Initiative adds California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Mexico, Utah and Montana – plus British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. Manitoba is a member of both cooperatives.

Together, the three regional systems will encompass 23 states with roughly half of population in the U.S. – plus four Canadian provinces with more than three-quarters of that nation’s populace.

The bottom line: A cap-and-trade system that favors secrecy over public disclosure – and Wall Street over consumers – now has the inside track to become the de facto law of the land, even without an act of Congress.

Now that should scare the flaming crap out of everyone in the entire world that exhales carbon dioxide...yea, even you.

Ritual Cannibalism as Sacrament

Ritual Cannibalism:

The eating of all or part of the physical or symbolic body of a given person or personified entity in hopes of gaining one or more of their desirable attributes.

I was sitting in church on Sunday and witnessed something I had seen a million times, the sacrament. I dawned on me, rather unnervingly, that I was witnessing a rather savage, disturbing custom: the ceremonial eating of human flesh and drinking of human blood. Sure, symbolically, it belongs to a demi-god and we are hoping to gain some kind of spiritual influence through partaking, but damn... I actually had to pass it by. The older woman to my immediate left, however, actually licked her fingers and smiled. Her visage was so sublime I couldn't bear to tell her she had a crumb of archetypal godflesh clinging to the corner of her mouth.

Maybe anthropophagy stems from the cults of Dionysis. He does have some things in common with Jesus:

Dionysus comes down to earth as god made flesh as a savior and is the son of God.

His Father is a god and his mother is a mortal virgin.

His born in a humble stable on December 25 before three shepherds.

He dies at Easter time for the sins of the world.
After he dies he descends into hell and rises again on the third day.

He preaches about a Holy communion of his sacred body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.

Hey, isn't that Baccus???

Even anarchists have Mothers

What could be more threatening, awful, nasty and disreputable than an unwashed, disheveled, angry, weird hippie / anarchist? I mean, seriously?

Sure, I hate government. I admit this freely. Sure, I'm angry and I dress funny. Granted, I'm kind of a conversation killer and not much fun at parties or political rallies... but my mom still loves me and thinks I am special. I like to think she is right. I'm a special, angry, difficult snowflake. Thanks mom.

EHow has some help for you if Mom needs an explanation of your chaotic political bent:

LINK

The label "anarchist" has a lot of unfortunate, inaccurate connotations. For most people, the word brings to mind images of violent, bomb-throwing terrorists who want to abolish all government and replace it with chaos, lawlessness and survival-of-the-fittest. Those of us who are anarchists know better, but how can you explain your ideology to Mom (or for that matter, anyone else close to you) without freaking her out?
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1
Refer to yourself as a "classical anarchist." There are a lot of people out there calling themselves "anarchists" who really DO subscribe to the violent, bomb-throwing rebellious lot, and that's not you. Making this distinction will signal to Mom that what you are has nothing to do with her preconceptions about what the word means.

2
Speak Greek. Explain that the word "anarchism" comes from the Greek "anarcho" and means "without rulers." Launch from this into the basic definition of anarchy: a governing system based on real equality, where systems are set up in such a way that no one has power over anyone else.

3
Give her a brief history lesson. Explain that the word "anarchy" being commonly used to mean "chaos" actually came about as a result of the anarchist movement of the 1800s, both because people weren't ready to imagine equality without pandemonium, and because enemies of the anarchist movement worked to push this definition.

4
Tell her that contrary to popular belief, anarchists don't actually want to set up a society that's free of rules and laws or even free of government - we just want the laws and government to be determined by and serve the people completely.

5
Explain about the best parts of what anarchism promotes: freedom, equality, liberty, and community, taking care of, defending, and looking out for each other, and letting everyone live the lives of their choosing. Explain to her that anarchists want racial, sex, and GLBT equality, are devoted to environmentalism and ending poverty, and want to see all people provided with the things they need. (You can either drop the "communism" bomb now, later, or never, depending on what you know about your mother.)

6
List some examples of prominent anarchists living today. If Mom thinks that anarchists are all crazy terrorist kids, imagine how her opinion of our ideology will change when you tell her that some of the prominent subscribers to our ideology include a famous professor of linguistics (Noam Chomsky), a renowned classical composer and former assistant to John Cage (Andrew Culver) and a martial arts fighting champion with a masters in psychology (Jeff Monson).

7
Promise your mother that you don't want to or plan to hurt anyone or blow up anything, because this is not only a violation of your principles, it's completely counterproductive. Explain that the current goals of the anarchist movement are mostly centered around helping people, fighting oppression, and educating about what what "anarchism" is really about. Tell her some of the good things you plan to do and want to do.

Hug her a lot. I think that helps...and do dishes once in awhile...

Behold the Face of God

Who is John Galt?

"Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where the gun begins."
~Atlas Shrugged---Ayn Rand~

Ultimately, when a law is created, a punishment must be affixed in case of transgression. Punishment is enforced. Enforcement entails "forcing" somone to obey or conform to the law. This is done, at its base, through threats, or actual application of physical violence or of segregation, confinement, etc. It is always at the barrel of a gun, taser or other instrument that can inflict death or injury. Think about that.

"Where you find the laws most numerous, there you will find also the greatest injustice."
~Arcesilaus~

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
~Thomas Jefferson~

America Under Barack Obama
An Interview with Nat Hentoff

"I try to avoid hyperbole, but I think Obama is possibly the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had."—Nat Hentoff

Nat Hentoff has had a life well spent, one chock full of controversy fueled by his passion for the protection of civil liberties and human rights. Hentoff is known as a civil libertarian, free speech activist, anti-death penalty advocate, pro-lifer and not uncommon critic of the ideological left.

At 84, Nat Hentoff is an American classic who has never shied away from an issue. For example, he defended a woman rejected from law school because she was Caucasian; called into a talk show hosted by Oliver North to agree with him on liberal intolerance for free speech; was a friend to the late Malcolm X; and wrote the liner notes for Bob Dylan's second album.

A self-described uncategorizable libertarian, Hentoff adds he is also a “Jewish atheist, civil libertarian, pro-lifer.” Accordingly, he has angered nearly every political faction and remains one of a few who has stuck to his principles through his many years of work, regardless of the trouble it stirred up. For instance, when he announced his opposition to abortion he alienated numerous colleagues, and his outspoken denunciation of President Bill Clinton only increased his isolation in liberal circles (He said that Clinton had "done more harm to the Constitution than any president in American history," and called him "a serial violator of our liberties.").

Millions and Billions and Trillions OH MY!

A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

A million minutes ago was – 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago.
A billion minutes ago was just after the time of Christ.

A million hours ago was in 1885.
A billion hours ago man had not yet walked on earth.

A million dollars ago was five (5) seconds ago at the U.S. Treasury.
A billion dollars ago was late yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Treasury.
[Note: this was pre-Obama]

A trillion dollars is so large a number that only politicians
can use the term in conversation... probably because they
seldom think about what they are really saying. I've read that
mathematicians do not even use the term trillion!
Here is some perspective on TRILLION:

Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000.
The country has not existed for a trillion seconds.
Western civilization has not been around a trillion seconds.
One trillion seconds ago – 31,688 years – Neanderthals stalked the plains of Europe.

Million: 1,000,000
Billion: 1,000,000,000
Trillion: 1,000,000,000,000
Quintillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
Sextillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Nonillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Centillion: 1 followed by 303 zeros

What is a billion dollars?

What does a trillion dollars look like?

The US national debt in $100 bills.

What about gold?

How much gold is there in the world?

The World Gold Council estimates that at the end of 2001, it is estimated that all the gold ever mined amounted to about 145,000 tonnes.

Who owns most gold?

If we take national gold reserves, then the most gold is owned by the United States, followed by Germany and the International Monetary Fund.

But if we include jewellery ownership, then India is the largest repository of gold in terms of total gold within the national boundaries. In terms of personal ownership, it is not known who owns the most, but it is possibly a member of a ruling royal family in the East.

If all the gold that there is in the world is laid around the globe, how far would it stretch?

If we make all the gold ever produced into a thin wire of 5 microns (millionths of a metre) diameter -- the finest one can draw a gold wire, then all the gold would stretch around the circumference of the world an astounding 7.2 million times approximately!

How big is a tonne of gold?

Gold is traditionally weighed in Troy Ounces (31.1035 gm). With the density of gold at 19.32 g/cm3, a troy ounce of gold would have a volume of 1.61 cm3. A metric tonne (equals 1,000 kg = 32,150.72 troy ounces) of gold would therefore have a volume of 51,762 cm3 (i.e. 1.61 x 32,150.72), which would be equivalent to a cube of side 37.27cm (Approx. 1' 3'').

Nobel BS Prize

O Bama, Only THE ONE can get an international peace prize for waging war and killing people. WTF? Maybe you are the Savior... epic slight of hand Hussainee..

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world. (Reaching out to our Muslim brothers with an iron fist full of depleted uranium perhaps? Jeepers, that really is a "new climate").

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 90 times to 120 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2009 – 97 times to individuals and 23 times to organizations. Since International Committee of the Red Cross was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1917, 1944 and 1963, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1954 and 1981, that means 97 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Click to see the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate's page.

I quote Thee, O Bama:

"I know there's nothing weak -- nothing passive -- nothing nave -- in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King. But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler's armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda's leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force may sometimes be necessary is not a call to cynicism -- it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason."

Now that is some serious PEACE.

Lethal Injection, From 3 to 1

It now takes only ONE injection to kill you:
ONE SHOT
The New Way

The Old Way...
The drugs are administered, in this order:

Anesthetic - Sodium thiopental, which has the trademark name Pentothal, puts the inmate into a deep sleep. This drug is a barbiturate that induces general anesthesia when administered intravenously. It can reach effective clinical concentrations in the brain within 30 seconds, according to an Amnesty International report. For surgical operations, patients are given a dose of 100 to 150 milligrams over a period of 10 to 15 seconds. For executions, as many as 5 grams (5,000 mg) of Pentothal may be administered. This in itself is a lethal dose. It's believed by some that after this anesthetic is delivered, the inmate doesn't feel anything.

Saline solution flushes the intravenous line.

Paralyzing agent - Pancuronium bromide, also known as Pavulon, is a muscle relaxant that is given in a dose that stops breathing by paralyzing the diaphragm and lungs. Conventionally, this drug takes effect in one to three minutes after being injected. In many states, this drug is given in doses of up to 100 milligrams, a much higher dose than is used in surgical operations -- usually 40 to 100 micrograms per one kilogram of body weight. Other chemicals that can be used as a paralyzing agent include tubocurarine chloride and succinylcholine chloride.

Saline solution flushes the intravenous line.

Toxic agent (not used by all states) - Potassium chloride is given at a lethal dose in order to interrupt the electrical signaling essential to heart functions. This induces cardiac arrest.
Within a minute or two after the last drug is administered, a physician or medical technician declares the inmate dead. The amount of time between when the prisoner leaves the holding cell and when he or she is declared dead may be just 30 minutes. Death usually occurs anywhere from five to 18 minutes after the execution order is given. After the execution, the body is placed in a body bag and taken to medical examiner, who may perform an autopsy. It is then either claimed by the inmate's family or interred by the state.

Double Bind Me

DOUBLE BIND as a mechanism of control

n.
A psychological impasse created when contradictory demands are made of an individual, such as a child or an employee, so that no matter which directive is followed, the response will be construed as incorrect.
A situation in which a person must choose between equally unsatisfactory alternatives; a punishing and inescapable dilemma.

Psychoanalysis DictionaryGregory Bateson coined the term double bind in 1956. In trying to understand the characteristic effects of communication in schizophrenics' families, Bateson and his collaborators identified a specific constraining interaction, the paradoxical injunction that they called the double bind.

The double bind fits into one of the three types of paradox, the pragmatic paradox. The effects of the paradox in human interactions were first described by Gregory Bateson, Don D. Jackson, Jay Haley, and John H. Weakland in a document entitled Toward a Theory of Schizophrenia, published in 1956. Bateson and his collaborators were looking for sequences of interpersonal experience that could lead to a type of behavior that would justify the diagnosis of schizophrenia.

This is one of the typical cases constructed by Paul Watzlawick from real clinical facts: A mother buys two neckties for her little boy, one green and one blue. The next day the child is in a hurry to sport the green necktie. The mother: "So you don't like the blue tie I gave you?" The next day the boy puts on the blue tie and draws the symmetrical response: "So you don't like the green tie I gave you?" So, on the third day, the child tries to find a compromise solution in order to satisfy his mother's two demands: he puts on the two ties together. And his mother comments: "You poor boy, you're out of your mind. You're going to drive me crazy." This paradoxical injunction, where the double bind mechanism is particularly obvious, clearly shows the annihilating effects on the person at the receiving end.

Antonio J. Ferreira (1960) described one particular form of double bind, the split double bind, observed in the families of young delinquents. The expression "prescribe the symptom" was first introduced in Bateson's group's work on family therapy in schizophrenia. The group showed the paradoxical nature of this technique: the therapeutic double constraint. From a structural point of view, a therapeutic double constraint is the mirror image of a pathogenic double con straint. The therapist formulates an injunction of such a structure that it reinforces the behavior that the patient expects to see disappear. A patient presenting persistent headaches (in-depth medical examinations revealed nothing) transmitted the following message through her symptoms and her earlier relations with doctors: "Help me but I won't let you help me." The therapist understood that given the history of physicians' "failures," any allusion to the help that psychotherapy could provide would predestine the treatment to fail. The patient therefore had to face the fact that her state was incurable. All that the therapist could do was help her learn to live with her pains.

In the nineteen-seventies the notion of paradox was introduced into clinical and theoretical psychoanalysis from several different directions, largely due to Didier Anzieu's article on Transfert paradoxal (Paradoxical transfer) (1975) and Paul-Claude Racamier's work on humor and madness (1973), and later on schizophrenics' paradoxes (Congress of Romance-Language Psychoanalysts, 1978).

Natural Man?

The only total way the "natural man" can be "cast off" is through physical castration. Religion, through pathological mental and emotional conditioning ... through the "Spirit," seeks to psychologically castrate both men and women; they become neutered, sexless ... neither male nor female ... a reflection of the self-contained male-female Adam who "begot" Eve. In that "pre-mortal" condition they were both ignorant of sex which, in the temple ceremony today, is reenacted by each member actor as they become another an Adam or another Eve ... before the "fall," i.e., when ignorant of sex, and therefore "pure." The effect of this conditioning is to try to benumb ... through "guilt" ... all sensual perceptions by fostering a hatred of the body and labeling it "evil."

What could be more natural than that, aye?
Couple it with the practice of control through the harnessing of instinctive drives and you have a zombie.

No One Stands Between Me n God...?

Every true femanists will bristle at this:

Males Rule Females

Nearly all LDS girls internalize from near-infancy the teaching that priesthood-authority males have a literal God-appointed right to enter their most fundamental thoughts, desires and choices.

From childhood, the LDS female is thoroughly trained to be, in behavior and thought, submissive to a long and imposing list of males with authority linking directly to God Himself. This list, proceeding from the least authority upward, includes but is not limited to these several dozens:

• her husband,
• her three bishopric males,
• her two home-teacher males,
• her three stake presidency males,
• Quorum of the Seventy males,
• Presiding Bishopric males,
• Church Patriarch (a male),
• Assistants to the Twelve Apostles,
• Quorum of Twelve (male) Apostles,
• First Presidency (who are three additional male Apostles).

She learns that she absolutely cannot enter the highest heavenly kingdom without a temple-married husband. She is totally dependent upon her husband because:

• Her husband will lead her by hand "through the veil" to celestial existence,
• Her role in heaven will be to continue forever bearing offspring for him as one of his wives.
• She knows there is no approved escape from this God-decreed, interminable destiny for females, because it is the system that existed for gods in pre-existent worlds prior to this earth, and will exist without end in the future for her, her husband-god and vast numbers of other gods.

Damn. I'm glad my penis allows me direct access to God, like a really neat antena.

"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."
-Winston Churchill

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
– Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme

“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our
economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”
– Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies

“The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”
– Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund

“Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.”
– Professor Maurice King

“We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of acres of presently settled land.”
– David Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!

“Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to
discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it.”

Pandemic Smandemic

Leading Cause of Death Report

US population around 300,000,000 in 2006-2007

These are the figures on the last several “epidemics.” They are not yearly; they are totals, to date; global totals, except in the case of West Nile (US only):

SARS: 774 deaths.

WEST NILE: 1159 deaths.

BIRD FLU: 262 deaths.

SMALLPOX: (terrorist threat): 0 deaths.

SWINE FLU: 7909 deaths.

To give perspective, 250 thousand to 500 thousand people die of ordinary flu-like illness every year.

Each year in the US there are:

12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;

7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;

20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;

80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;

106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.

The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease and cancer.

2.1 million people in America, every year, are hospitalized as a result of reactions to FDA-approved medicines. Annually, 36 million serious adverse reactions to those drugs occur.

Kymatica: Man's True Nature?

Kymatica Full Length Version

We are ruled because we choose to be ruled.
We are controlled because we give consent to be slaves.
We decide.
We are controlled by what we suppress.
We are ruled by those that understand how to regulate and suppress natural inclinations and drives.
We are not subserviant by our nature, but are bound by our irrational fears.
This is a disease. A psychic disease.
We choose to be sick, or to be well.
Fear is the key to control.
Fear is an illusion.

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Hermann Goering

Luke 12
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Matthew 10
34 Think not that I am come to send apeace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his across, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that closeth his life for my sake shall find it.

D&C 124
52 And I will answer judgment, wrath, and indignation, wailing, and anguish, and gnashing of teeth upon their heads, unto the third and fourth generation, so long as they repent not, and hate me, saith the Lord your God.

Mosiah 13
13 And again: Thou shalt not abow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me;

D&C 97
22 For behold, and lo, vengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind; and who shall escape it?
23 The Lord’s scourge shall pass over by night and by day, and the report thereof shall vex all people; yea, it shall not be stayed until the Lord come;
24 For the indignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.
25 Nevertheless, Zion shall aescape if she observe to do all things whatsoever I have commanded her.
26 But if she observe not to do whatsoever I have commanded her, I will visit her according to all her works, with sore affliction, with pestilence, with plague, with sword, with vengeance, with devouring fire.
