A Small (Big) Confession

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

It’s not an easy thing to admit to, and in fact it is an even harder thing to comprehend…for most people. I’m talking about subtle barbarianism. “Subtle” barbarianism, you ask. Of course; we hear about actions that can obviously be constituted as torture from all over the world. We read about such audacious – and horrendous – events like; beheadings, ethnic cleansing, forced starvation; so on…but there’s one procedure that has become so commonplace that it has now reached the domain of obviousness…however; it is no less barbaric.
It is now so widely overlooked that the only time it is perceived as inhuman is when it’s happening to a female (more on this in a minute). I am talking of course about circumcision. And I shall expound upon this primitive ritual. Cutting (no pun intended) to the chase and getting right to the point (no joke intended, either): the most important aspect of this practice, is that in a civilized world the most rudimentary concept of freedom would immediately prohibit any removal of the human anatomy from a non-consenting person.
If discerned for ever so briefly, this becomes a comic-style slap on the forehead, followed by a hysterical “of course.” For those not understanding the simple “two plus two equals four” logic: we do not legally allow butchery! It doesn’t get any simpler than that!
Nowhere in the law books does it say that when a child is born you are allowed to cut his arm off, right? So the question must be asked as why we allow butchery in other circumstances. Especially ones concerning the genitals!
This question is asked, and two answers are almost always given in an instantaneous response, both of which are equally inadequate in justifying such tyranny.
The first reason given is a religious one. Essentially; an Abrahamic provision – sanctioned by “god” – asserted that circumcision was a method in which Yaweh was able to “mark” his people…just as we do with cattle today. This is most likely the prevailing reason in explaining why cutting the end of an infant’s penis is still accepted in today’s society. Either Yaweh continues to hold a monopolizing grasp on his “vessel”, or perhaps parents have just succumbed to such drastic cultural conditioning that they don’t understand the freedom being robbed from their child.
If it’s the former, the question I propose is this: how do we know for certain that a human being, of just a few minutes after birth, is even capable of being a definite religion? What are his characteristics that determine this? There is a one pretext given: “his parents are.” However, in a contrasting example, if his parents were, of say – a Moloch denomination, and believed in sacrificing live babies to some superficial “Higher Power”, would it be condoned in today’s society? The answer answers itself, because we are of a supposedly “civilized” society. The reason I state that so boldly is because of the fact that if a State whose constitution does not base itself in a separation of the Church, the repressive consequences would become innumerable.
However “extreme” the religious examples might be postulated, every one of them must be scrutinized if we are to garner any sort of liberty. It is not right to condone barbaric behavior only when the auspices are of Abrahamic persuasion, while the other “extreme” illustration of spiraling live babies into a huge inferno is condemned. Both are wicked! And both should be outlawed!
The other argument articulated in favor of genital mutilation is that of hygiene. It is presupposed that by cutting off the foreskin, the risk of contacting a STD is greatly reduced. This rationalizing is given far and wide by pediatricians. My answer is a paradoxical one: if it could in fact be proven that a doctor’s hands indeed cause mental trauma and physical suffering to a child every time the procedure is performed, I would recommend, by using the same logic given by them; that the hands be cut off before they were able to commit any more torture.
Savvy to that concept? Before an action occurs, we take measures to ensure it not come to fruition. (In Orwellian this means a thought crime) The only problem is that a great amount of individual liberty is lost in trying to curb an event that hasn’t happened yet. If it is true that circumcision reduces the risk of STD or bacterial infection (and I’m in no way implying that it doesn’t) – let the person decide when they are capable of doing so. Besides, not tending to your ears can also lead to infection, should we cut those off also?
This entire practice has proven to be frivolous by even those who praise it. While parents continue to chop off the heads of their son’s penis, they continue to look antagonistically towards other countries and their usage of female circumcision. It’s hard to even write, but basically female circumcision is when any part of the vagina is surgically altered. Cutting off the clitoris, sowing the vagina shut…just to name a few examples (FGM is various, as opposed to male mutilation). The inconsistent moral is blatant: its okay if it’s a male, but not it’s a female. I think Penn & Teller had it right – “Circumcision is bullshit!”
It’s somewhat fortunate that the practice is becoming rarer and rarer. In fact, roughly 90 percent of the World outside the United States is uncircumcised; proving once again that America is, and Americans are, an insane, overly-cultured (or conditioned), sheepish, and hypocritical bunch. Hopefully the male species will wake up – and realize that my contention is legitimized. After all, according to the British Journal of urology, circumcision desensitizes the penis by 75 percent. This is because there are over 10,000 nerve endings in the foreskin, and, once removed, your libido is working with a mere 3,000. The truth is that no major medical facility in the world recommends this practice. By cutting your son’s penis, you are only ruining his freedom, ruining his future sex life, and continuing an ancient and ridiculous ritual.
Here then, is confession time: I was a victim of such mutilation. More than that, the doctor did a fucked up job. He botched it; leaving a huge gaping hole on the right side of my penis.
Now, call it cultural mutilation; religious mutilation – whatever you like; dismembering another human being is as inhuman as it gets. It is simply grotesque, and repulsive, that we accept these things in our society. How long is it going to take before legislation is put into place that forbids parents from committing such butchery? I suggest that it be signed into the law books very soon. With perhaps accompanying legislation that will start handing out felony assault charges to doctors still performing this wicked and deplorable act.

What’s happening with Nine-One-One

“Dissent is the greatest form of patriotism.” – Thomas Jefferson

“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” – Samuel Johnson

“A conspiracy is nothing but a secret agreement of a number of men for the pursuance of policies which they dare not admit in public.” – Mark Twain

Today, America is in a State of remorse and remembrance. And while millions grieve in the privacy in their own home, thousands more are protesting in streets from Los Angeles to New York. September Eleventh 2001 wasn’t just a day in which those two towers fell, but a time in which someone could utter the words “the beginning of the end” without much fear of castigation.
Now, eight years later, we have seen several monumental revelations occur, both here at home, and around the world. The first African American president (a wonderful achievement in a “Democratic Nation” if it weren’t all an orchestrated way to capitalize on “change”) in the white house, a bill bordering on universal healthcare in the midst, two wars still waging on, and a vile hatred brewing in select corners of the world….all effects of one man: Mr. George Walker Bush. Looking back on it now, it is almost sad to admit that such an evil man was the president of this country, and has since become the icon of buffoons. I feel a slight quell of embarrassment for the GOP in having that man represent them. But alas, I also feel a relief that they neither perceive him with any great amount of adulteration or respect. Many commentators have even turned “independent” because of the sheer humiliation.
That aside, one cannot possible dismiss the amount of terror he and his administration has caused in the world. He is the greatest example of evil we have had on this planet since probably Adolf Hitler. And I say that after excluding several other notable villains due to the widespread totalitarian doctrine that accepts his actions and forgives his atrocities: patriotism. We know now, and only now, the extent in which he was willing to further his agenda. And few today, even on the Right, are willing to refute those actions in which “their” president engaged in. Terrorism, wars, torture, unlawful imprisonment, violating treaties…and, the one now being articulated by several thousand activists: the Truth of September 11th 2001.
These are all facts known to any avid reader before opening any book, or clicking on any website. I hope that I am not the one telling anybody right now that the 9-11 commission report was admitted as being a farce by many high-rank officials including Senator Max Cleland, and General Wesley Clark, who said “we never finished the investigation of 9/11”. President Bush even outright refused to testify before the commission. In case I am I am telling you for the first time, I might as will explain why and what is subsequently taking place, and why all those protesters are lined up spreading a message of Truth.
You see, there is a notion of totalitarianism that resides inside the mind of everyone. It is subtle, it is persistent, and it conquers over all reason. It is mentality of indoctrinated faith. It is the automatic assumption that there is an entity or a belief that lingers on the edge of perfection, and no argument, or any contradictory claim that proves otherwise, can convince that entity or belief that it is wrong….in even slightest degree. Christians do it when someone denounces the bible or Christ. Capitalists do it when they hear someone mutter the word socialist, or Marxist. And Nationalists do it when someone mentions the words 9-11 Truth. Faith has thankfully been ridiculed for what it is: the relinquishing the one thing that separates us from the animals…reason.
From here, the proven science of conscientious omittance works on a grand political level. It’s the way that individuals refuse to free their mind and let it start doing rational, objective thought. People, on a large scale, think that the probability of our government having anything to do with the attacks of September 11th is almost null and void. Even more, they dispel those who do consider the possibility as persons deserving a straight jacket. Often times with zero argument or knowledge of the facts.

But why?

Why is the act of consideration – in light of so much evidence that supports the theory – an act deserving so much condemnation? As hard as it is to consider for every person, there is a wide range of suspicious documentation that indicates advance knowledge of the attacks on behalf of our government. And while I wish not to talk in great length about every piece here, I beg the reader to go home and do his or her own investigation. This is the point of patriotism I wish to emphasize with whoever is reading this now: don’t take anybody’s word for it, but question the simple facts discovered by independent researchers, and ask yourself if they add up.
For example; who heard that story in the news which pointed out the enormous time discrepancies regarding the exact time in which the four planes were officially recognized to be hijacked (up to an hour and half), and the point in which jet fighters were deployed to intercept it? (which happened only in the case of flight 93 in Pennsylvania) Where were the jets that should have been scrambled after no more than ten minutes? Why did they fly for so long without any action being taken? Why was the president sitting in a classroom reading about a pet goat after being told the country was under attack? Why was nobody fired after this huge blunder? How does the most sophisticated and advanced intelligence in the world – the Pentagon, with it’s billion dollar budget – had let not one, but four separate attacks take place inside an extremely secured territory? Namely, Washington D.C. and New York. And most importantly, why does the official account – the 9/11 Commission – exclude answers for these questions?
What about that article in the Times that picked up a report that many of the hijackers were still alive? Indeed, after the smoke had cleared, and the dust has settled, the United States announced within hours that they knew who had perpetrated the attacks. The problem was, a short while later, the attackers were widely reported, first by the BBC, then by various Middle Eastern newspapers, to still be alive! This claim as yet to be proven untrue. How can you commit such a grand act of a martyr if you’re still alive after the attacks took place? To expound upon the theme of guiltiness a little more, how can we go and indict Osama Bin Laden for the attacks, when there was no evidence against him? The Taliban is on record of saying they would have handed over Bin Laden if the United States had provided evidence. This could have been an arrogant way of saying “prove it!” if it weren’t for Bush Administration telling everybody that we had overwhelming evidence to prove his involvement. But the evidence never materialized. And to this day it still hasn’t. Bin Laden is on the Most Wanted list, but the crime of September 11th isn’t mentioned at all. Also never reported in the Commission report.
These are trick questions, of course. The media never reports on any of them. Or if they did it was in passing mention, even though they have been given great credibility by many scholars and researchers. If they did mention these things more often, then perhaps we would have less Sean Hannity’s or Rush Limbaugh’s who regularly denounce even the quiet whisper of consideration regarding any conspiracy theory. Perhaps we would have even more protestors out in the streets.

Are these nutcase questions to ask? Is it not a bit peculiar? Just a bit maybe? Well, they’re the same questions being asked by several former members of the Reagan Administration, including Deputy Assistant of Defense Col. Ronald D. Ray and Col. Robert Bowman (the guy in charge of Star Wars). Nutcases? There’s also at least seven-hundred structural engineers who signed a petition calling for a new investigation.
Is your mind trying it’s best to refuse these basic inquiries, or are you yet going to realize that our government, including many elected officials, are not only capable of executing such treason, but willing to do so.
The question of motive should be rather obvious. Immediately following the attacks the Nation went in to a simultaneous mode of both hyper-patriotism, and hyper-imperialism…the former justifying the latter. Patriot Acts were rushed through congress - robbing us of our civil liberties, two wars were waged, and are still waging, which proved no result except the riddance of a tyrant once supported by the U.S. (that’s Saddam), not to mention a wide-scale use of torture. And all who questioned these actions were labeled as either “with the terrorists” or “un-American” or a good ‘ole fashioned traitor. Today, few people, on either side of the political spectrum, refute the fact that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction (or WMD if you will). A few quietly postulated justifications amongst themselves and their colleagues, but deep down they know that the people widely despised the atrocities in question.
And for good reason: they were lied to. Little Bush did exploit the attacks to further his own agenda. And that is not an isolated thought. Scott Ritter – former Weapons Inspector for the United Nations – said the exact same thing. These sentiments were also shared with Noam Chomsky, who, although did not believe in any “conspiracy theory” explained how Bush and his Administration used the attacks to facilitate a war – both with other Nations, and with its own people.
But instead of the conservative pundits abandoning their posts as watchdogs of the American responsibility of accepting what your government says, they suggested that we take Mr. Bush’s word – whose word has also proclaimed himself as wartime president – and support whatever was going to happen. Echo’s of “America at war” reached far and wide. Then, most people just simply accepted it.
For those of you still not able to put the pieces together – this is what Hitler did. Many people have wondered how a Nation full of noble citizens could allow Hitler to rise to power, impose a dictatorship, and systematically kill millions, have yet then to hear the reason why…well, its pretty simply actually: the people didn’t know it was happening. The takeover was swift, it was persuasive, and it reeked of patriotic pride. Is this phenomenon happening now? I believe it is. And I think we need to stop it, very fast.

So what then? What has happened in that time, when few knew what was going on, and now, when a much greater number of people are questioning, and protesting, for the real Truth of 9-11? On this day, a great number, I hope, are in the streets. They are handing out fliers, showing signs, and trying to wake the public up from its ignorant slumber. Are that many fellow Americans crazy? Is it wrong of them to engage in such activism? Or should all of us join in, and lend our support for this cause?
For myself, and my family, I believe we should. While many Truthers could be constituted as fanatics, as a whole, the Truth Movement has not yet become obsessed with the ideology it proclaims. In that sense, it has not yet caused violence, but instead opted for peace in the form of protest and information. It does not condemn others for thinking differently, but welcomes lively debate.
The most fortunate thing we can appreciate from the Movement is that it has grown solely from a group demanding answers of 9-11, to a Movement which has become much more cognizant of many political offences. From the recognition of the Federal Reserve as an illegal bank, owned by private bankers, printing the dollar with interest, and having little accountability, to the international war crime of supporting dictators around the globe, activists of all kinds are coming together to fight these insidious crimes. They are not wild-haired “conspiracies”, but instead they are notable on both sides of the congressional aisle. Republican congressman Ron Paul has been vehement in his pursuit of getting transparency in the Fed, while liberals of all kind scoff at the fact that presidents of all parties have embraced and funded murderous dictators all the way from the deserts of Saudi Arabia to the jungles of South America.
The issue of secret meetings is also far from the realm of conspiracy. Presidents and their administrations for years have attended the clandestine three-day meeting of the Bilderbergs. Here, under an oath of secrecy, our officials meet with the Elites of other Nations, and while policy is discussed – illegal under the Logan act – the corporate media refuses to even mention it. Odd, considering that anytime there’s an American Idol reunion the media hounds are all over it….
If anyone hopes for change in this world, it is time to come together. Dismiss the Truthers as you might, their movement, so far, is the only chance we have at getting our country back. It is time to put the political divides aside and stop fighting over frivolous issues which only further distract from more serious affairs.
We can promote a real change in this world that is both novel and inelaborate. There are several resolutions that I believe we can all agree on. First, I think we can all agree that we need much more transparency within our government. By this, I suggest that all elected officials constantly face a panel of civilian journalists and reporters, not press officials who read from a script. By this, we hold their feet to the fire and order (order is the proper word as our elected officials do work for us, and paid by our tax dollars) them to answer all of our inquiries. We should be able to ask questions regarding the attendance of the Bilderburg Group, and we should receive an answer at exactly the same time we receive proof of citizenship…just because we can.
We then should begin to repeal a great many of our laws, nobody likes them anyways. And in my opinion, which is founded in experience, we should start with the drug war. Not only is it destroying many lives and families here at home, it is a failure as far as it’s efficiency is concerned, not to mention it is creating monsters out of usually non-violent offenders by subjecting them to harsh prison sentences.
But out of those rudimentary measures, the number one thing I believe we should do is being drawing more towards an isolationist policy. It is not the job of the United States to police the world, and it is only fanning the flames of hatred across the globe. Even if you do agree with all the wars, the fact is: few others do. We support democracy in other Nations by supporting civilian uprisings, not by invading them.
These are rather conservative ideals. And I don’t think anyone would view them as radical. Please give this message a great deal of thought. Don’t shun those who are actively protesting governmental atrocities while you sit down at home, turn on the T.V., and refuse to listen to alternative claims. That is an immoral act.

INVESTIGATE IT FOR YOURSELF, AND FOR YOUR FAMILY!

An Open Letter to Alex Jones regarding his “Charlie Sheen interview with Barrack Obama”

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

In a world currently embroiled with lies and deception, it is not a time to alienate your allies. It is crucial that this feeling be taken by fellow freedom-fighters, realists, critical thinkers, and all others devoted to exposing the tyrannical acts our corrupted officials have inflicted upon us.
This having been said, I believe that Alex Jones made a grave error on September 8, 2009 when his website, Infowars, published an interview that took place between fellow Truther and Activist Charlie Sheen, and the President of the United States Barrack H. Obama. It really only infuriated me when the reality that is wasn’t real became known after a quick Google search half-way through reading it. The headline “Alex Jones posts fake interview” grabbed my attention and then I realized that a real interview of that magnitude would have been making more waves than Hurricane Katrina.
I suddenly felt betrayed. It was as if one of the leaders in the fight against tyranny was now utilizing a methodology more alike to the people he’s fighting. I could not help but to instantly recall the faked Michael Jackson video which “proved” he was alive. It turned out to be a deliberate fake, intended to “prove” how conspiracies and fake news make there way in large circles rather quickly. Unfortunately, it all but did prove it. As journalists, activists, and researchers, we have to be completely devoted to telling real, verified information, and not drumming out some half-heart, bogus nonsense. Because if we don’t, we are going to end up rebuked, and never taken seriously. A journalist or any other commentator is never supposed to tell fake stories. That should be obvious.
Of course, anyone can sit there and tell me that there was a disclaimer at the bottom of the transcript, and indeed there was. But that is not what I, or I’m sure many others who read that article, saw when we clicked open your popular website and out sprung a barrage of links to reports coming from Charlie Sheen.
At this point, you are free to dismiss me as you like, but I beg you please, from a fellow Truther and non-conformist, do not do so without taking a brief, objective look at what us slowly happening to the Movement…because I think your will find what can only be described as a quasi-religion.
Remember, for Freedom’s Sake remember, that all institutions, whether private, governmental, spiritual, educational, or informational, soon become an unregulated behemoth whose only goal is feeding off of whatever it is it wishes to exploit. Sometimes it’s money, other times it’s power, and on other occasions its coercion. The fact remains that all institutions evolve into something other than what they were originally intended for.
Do not lose focus. Our goal (at least my goal) is taking back my Freedom. And in political terminology, that at least means transparency. Eight years have elapsed since that fateful day. And we need to continue to question our officials, if for nothing else, than for sake of Global Awakening. Push back this New World Order, not with sensationalism, but with strong, convincing real information.
Again, I need to emphasize, that although I am extremely disappointed with that article, I will continue to read your site daily, and try to reach out to others. Thank you for all your hard work. I response is welcomed, but not expected.

No to the Religious World Order!: A Letter to Mark Dice

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

To Mark Dice, Founder of the Christian Resistance

Greetings. Hello. Howdy. Mr. Mark Dice, sir…I am drunk…which is okay, because from my intoxicated perspective I am still able to realize that it is within my legal boundaries to do so. I am within my rights so, I’ll take advantage. I certainly hope that every Freedom Fighter can appreciate this small feat which requires little accept paying the outrageous taxes put upon us by a corrupt government which has created it’s own problems, and having to wake up in the morning with a tinge of regret and a slight headache.
I am a bit concerned though, and I shall express my concern just as soon as I say thank you for your brave efforts to stop the impending New World Order. I have yet to read your two books The Resistance Manifesto and Illuminati: Fact and Fiction. So I am a bit handicapped in this letter in that I am soon to exhibit a large amount of criticism to you and your followers, without fully understanding your objective. Sorry friend.
From what I have heard, I understand that you are a dedicated Christian. And immediately I relate that nasty little word to a faulty ideology….one that transcends political discourse and paves the campaign trail for all parties and candidates. We notice immediately that all candidates are of “Christian” and devoting themselves solely to the love of Christ, etc, etc. Notice how when our current president was caught up in a scandal with his attendance of the church of Reverend Wright, and media was unable (or perhaps unwilling) to forget the issue, Mr. Obama had to finally disown the Church and join…well, it might as well be “some other church”, because the conviction not withstanding, it was what the American Presidential Template requires: A “Christian” motif. Even further with this observation, if you read Obama’s book The Audacity of Hope, you’ll notice that Obama was much more inclined to follow his mothers’ sense of spirituality without the use of organized sects. We shat get into the issue of his Muslim heritage.
As far as our past president – the incompetent, evil little toad known as George W. Bush – is concerned, he was a self-proclaimed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, and constantly referred to his divine prowess for “opening his heart.” Whatever intervention Jesus might have made in Bush’s life, we know it to be bullshit. It reeks like it, and as they say, if it has all the qualities…there is little denial. There are several good reasons for me stating this. The first reason being the secret societies that he has attended in his life. Starting with the Skull & Bones at Yale University in which he was obligated to take an Oath not akin to anything the average man has taken in his life. Bush still declines to comment on this society. And recently with his attendance at the Bohemian Grove – that annual meeting up in the forest where the Elites gather to either dance naked around the redwoods, or, more practically, do mock ceremonies with the blood God Molech – Bush has proven himself to be a fully-fledged hypocrite. Thank you again for pointing this out to the Elite.
Again, no need to go further; we know these simple facts to be true based on the validity given to them by political spectators like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity…every time the question is discarded as the typical nutcase story – right after they tell you of their invite – the story grows a little bit stronger.
So now that I have gotten all of the basics out of the way, let me tell you the second reason on why we know the religious dogma’s are full of cow increment. I shall put it kindly, sir, I really shall try…and as I wish not taking all the blame for this vital blow to one’s conscience, so shall I refer you to a YOUTUBE video. All one has to do is type “no one follows the Bible” into the search thingie, and up will come a video from the talk show The Young Turks hosted by the refreshingly bright Cenc Uygur.
If you actually listen to what he is saying and try to understand it, you can actually feel your brain neurons readjusting themselves to the cold-hard reality: no one really follows the barbaric practices of the Bible. As Penn and Teller rightly pointed out, the Bible can be used to debunk the Bible. After all, there are numerous passages all throughout the Old Testament. Stoning your disobedient child, selling your daughter into slavery…even killing hundreds of thousands of women and children (after the ten commandments were bestowed the race who were chosen to be better than the rest of us)…all in a day’s reading which will never be read in any Sunday school classroom – for good reason.
And even more, we castigate and shun those who do attempt any literal translation of the text. All these fundamentalist sects up in the hills, like the Church of Latter Day Saints, or all the others we read and hear about that rape thirteen year old girls, etc….when we hear them on the news, we as “civilized” people, condemn their practices as evil and cultish. And justifiably so, but then what other translation is there but the one you read from the book in your own hand? If it says to stone your grandmother for, say, cleaning dishes on the Sabbath, who then is going to gather the stones? The answer is nobody except those we deem to be nutcases and, more importantly, immoral. But it’s right there in your book also!
Bottom line is this: if you believe your God to be infallible and the Creator of all Time and Matter, what then is stopping you from fulfilling his will? When your neurons are finally able to realign and postulate that, you will come to the primary reason I have written this letter…we don’t want a New World Order based upon concentrated central government anymore than we want any Order based upon a religious one. Of any kind. There will be no stoned grandmother’s; there will be no specified prayer or teaching of any singular religion with the intent to indoctrinate our children; and there will be no Religious World Order. As David Icke aptly put it, “I don’t know which I dislike more, the World controlled by the Brotherhood, or the one you want to replace it with.” Good call, David. Good call.
I really do congratulate you sir, I know that you are more fully prepared than I, and that your message has reached the ears of many more. Perhaps I don’t know your true intents, or if you have in mind the erosion of the New World Order only to be replaced with the very bile that I (and many, many others) find to be despicably deplorable.
If the people shat say it, then I shall: we demand an absolute separation of Church and State. Concrete. With iron bars running through it. No neo-con or smooth-talking Bible thumper is going to let us implement that sort of Law into our already filled-up law books. I wish to go even further and say that we hope that you were right, particularly on the issue of Hell, just so that we could hope that Jerry Falwell is burning right as I type this letter….but perhaps that’s just the alcohol talking. I enjoy my Freedom, thank you sir. (I don’t really wish Hell upon anyone…excuse my sardonic humor.)

Stickin’ To What We Know

Monday, July 20th, 2009

“When you guys figure it out, come back and tell me. Until that time I’m sticking with my Judeo-Christian Philosophy.”
-Bill O’ Reilly in an interview with Richard Dawkins

In another quick segment on YOTUBE you can see the tag team efforts of Bill O’ Reilly and Glenn Beck attempting to dismiss New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for a supposed piece he did commenting on the latter hypocrites’ stories about the FEMA camps. The clip itself was hilariously devastating. In it, the two make comments about Krugman “not caring if you said it or not.” And then in a perfect example of YOUTUBE journalism, clips of Glenn Beck’s almost hysteric voice tells his Fox viewers that he cannot debunk the FEMA camps. Repeatedly.
One then begins to wonder if Glenn Beck is a real journalist, or maybe a poltroon who was threatened by the New World Order. The clip does a deliver a rather damaging blow to Beck’s profession. If you haven’t seen it I highly suggest you do. Recently I’ve begun a phrase that I repeat from time to time. “The more you dismiss it without argument, the more credibility is granted to it.”
In regard to the FEMA camps – pretty cut and dry. A mainstream commentator for the FOX news network, Glenn Beck, at first and then repeatedly, tells stories of the reality of the clandestine camps propping up over the country. Then, all of a sudden, he and his propaganda cohort, Bill O’ Reilly, slam a columnist who reiterates the original piece. Well shoot…you said it Glenn!

My thinking tells me this… Bill O Reilly, along with so many other persons’ of Faith are willing to dismiss all the evidences of evolution, astronomy, and the such, and give all rights and privileges of Creation to an unverified claim (a ridiculous one) that “God” spoke to illiterate peasants in a remote desert – somewhere around 4000 years ago. A man walked on water, was born of a virgin, died and was resurrected…all things completely and literally believable. Except that the Truthers are ridiculed and insulted for bringing serious and legitimate questions to the doorsteps of our elected officials. Unbelievable. But once again…our faith deceives us. It tells us that we’re right when we probably know that there is a good amount of doubt.
Because science is not (yet) able to answer every single question regarding the origins of life on earth, Bill O’ Reilly says that he will stay with his belief system. Can that that same logic be reversed? Can it be said that “I’m sticking with the Truth Movement until the Government of the United States answers the unanswered questions of 9/11?” Is that credible? Can I ask about the FEMA camps that are reported to hold 50 million Americans? And why they’re all empty.

Disturbing revelations about our Free Country.

The “God” Deception

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Ask yourself one question: if you were born in a different part of the world, with different surroundings, might you have a different religious belief? Would it be wrong to have that belief?

“God.” A three letter, one syllable word that mankind has used for thousands of years to describe the Highest, most powerful Entity in or outside of our Universe. When we look into a telescope, or witness the miracle of birth, can we possible sum of these wonders by a word?
Thus, can we possible know the entire secrets of the Universe in one book? Religion becomes a mere symbolic interpretation for the Unknown. It consists of metaphors, cultural history, and a lot of myths.
Immediately we give the Creator a sexual preference. By using “he” we are indicating that “god” has a penis. Now, the paradox of this assessment is that Yaweh had commanded the Jews to cut off the foreskin of their children. Does this mean that “god” was circumcised? Was the Creator mutilated?
Next, “god” is shown to leisurely walk through the Garden of Eden with his first creation, Adam. If we deduce this myth, we will find that “Adam” is an anagram meaning “many.” And if we are to believe that “god” was just casually walking through a garden, then it would be equally possible for Zeus to have been throwing lightening bolts off of Mount Olympus.
Further, are we supposed to believe that the kind, loving Creator – that is taught in all our churches – is the same Being depicted in the Old Testament as a bloodthirsty monster, who, out of all the inhabitants of earth, chose the Jewish tribe as “his” vessel, and, in turn, ordered the death of hundreds of thousands? Or condoned Moses’ order for rape and murder? Right after the Ten Commandments were given to them!
Or what about all the other hundred of legends of a catastrophic flood found in every corner of the earth? Is it impossible to believe that any other population of the World has the concept to build a boat? And, if Noah and his family were the only humans that survived, how is it that they evolved into the different races of man within a relatively short period of 6-8 thousand years?
And yet, time after time the religious zealots are constantly trying their hardest to defend these blatant inconsistencies. Very rarely do they ever even entertain the possibility of another philosophy because of their herd-mentality – or complete close-mindedness.
This writer truly believes that the reason for this stubbornness is because the average person is scared. They demand something to look forward to after death. In doing so they convince themselves that this book has all the answers and that it’s only in black & white – Right & Wrong. Knowing in the back of they’re mind that the Bible and other religious beliefs have failed to answer the hard questions.
The answers to dinosaurs, and extraterrestrials, and past civilizations, and even the cure for Cancer are not to be found anywhere in the “perfect” book. Constantly I hear “but it doesn’t say it does” or “it doesn’t say it doesn’t.” All I can say to that is: omission is the worst form of mistruth, and the book leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
On top of all this, the majority of these same people are deliberate hypocrites. They must have their belief as to flaunt their moral superiority. But how many time does someone preach about Jesus Christ’s love and then turn around and perform the most wicked of crimes? Completely disregarding the Golden Rule. “Forgive me for my sins” becomes a very often repeated phrase in their months and has absolutely no validity. The mentality is “I can do anything I want as long as Jesus is there.” Without ever truly trying to better thereselves.
These ignorant masses do not even realize that the “Savior” myth has been used many times before Jesus in the personas of Horus and Krishna. So why is it so hard to believe that certain governmental powers orchestrated the creation of the whole Jesus legend by combining Judaic belief with Pagan belief, ala the Sabbath becoming a Sunday and the traditional holidays of Christmas and Easter, then adding Christ’s influential attributes to fabricate the most ingenious form of political and profitable organization in the history of mankind? Why is it that Christ couldn’t have healed the sick and taught wonderful things while still having erections and begging for bread? If the Lord was supposed to have experienced everything that man had; how is it possible without and antagonizing wife and children to feed?
Is it not remotely feasible that within 2000 years the Gospels were rewritten and retranslated so many times that today they are no longer the original text? In reality I could take this very rant, go out to the desert, dig a big hole, and 1000 years from now the discoverers of this work would claim it as absolute truth. Further, they might again add or take away with it as they please.
Now, I admit – we don’t even have the slightest idea of God, but I’ve often heard a quote from one time or another.

“We are, in truth, all that existed, and ever will exist, I am you, you are me, I am everything, and everything is me. We are not only part of that infinite energy, we are that energy.”

Even our thoughts and our emotions could be considered such. The existence of all this energy and matter certainly gives the impression of a Creator – the Watchmaker if you will. But this Creator could not possibly be secular – it is impossible to say that God can only be found in this religion or that culture or this kind of prayer. And everything else is condemned to damnation for eternity. It makes no sense that the god of the Abrahamic religions spoke only to half-stupefied peasants in the desolate Middle East.
Would the Creator who gave me this free will damn me for using it and questioning that that does not make sense? Especially when it’s concerning the corruption of man? Or the fate of our souls (or “energy” inside of us)? If my conclusion is different will I suffer forever in a fiery realm? Even if I was a good-natured, loving, giving person…raised with a different set of beliefs?
The “freewill” that was gifted to us is limited. As humans we use much less than one percent of our functioning brains. If we could use more freewill might we have a more complete understanding? With, by Hebrew definition is the true meaning of “faith.” This is of course impossible with our limited knowledge – which was “blessed” to us by our all powerful Creator.
I am not suggesting that the Torah and the prophesies in it - or a man named Jesus – are in no way legitimate. But the fact that anything is possible in this Universe, along with the truths about our subjects at hand, leads me to doubt and to strive for a more accurate account. Because, for me, it is intellectually dishonest to say that I’m sure of all the teachings found in our major religions.
In this modern day, technology has the capability to determine the age of certain text and writing through chemical analysis and carbon dating. With this, we can at least come pretty close to the age and the location to a given artifact. But there is no test we can use to prove that it was written by “god.” Again, we come back to faith, but using the same logic; how can one so full of doubt have a complete understanding? Can we not say that this is God’s Will? Perhaps the Creator wanted those to doubt as to show alternatives to the conventional belief system.
We can also use this same logic to a slightly more extreme. If one were to feel compelled to commit an act. Violent or peaceful, and had felt so strongly about their own justification for this undertaking that they were convicted to perform it, can we not also say that it is God’s Will? Is this the same way the Israelites were told to slaughter all those tribes? And there is to be no argument from the simplistic answer of “no – that is not God’s will.” Because we already know from the Bible that God has dealing with the Satan. Book of Job anyone? Also, as the Zealots proclaim, God knows everything. Well then, monsters like Hitler and Stalin were not only created by God, but also allowed to commit their evil crimes. It’s the same as letting your dog go and play in a park full of little kids – but knowing that it’s a vicious animal with rabies who likes to attack children. You have all the power to stop the beast, and you know that the dog can’t tell the difference between kibbles and little kids…so you have to ask yourself: what is the right, moral thing to do?
One more particular concern in regard to religion and the belief in the biblical god is that it promotes a certain distain for everyone who does not believe in their religion. Extreme examples of this come from personalities like Patterson and Falwell and the martyrs of September 11th. People who themselves denounce the so-called evils of harmless freewill and demand radical changes in our society and right to individual freedom. They would happily implement curfews and censorship and mandatory prayers into the schools. Or suppress the study of evolution and the cosmos because it doesn’t fit in with their values. Or even worse – cowardly blow up innocent families for the expansion of totalitarian religious regimes.
But none can said to be true followers of any religious book. The Bible says “eye for an eye” and “turn thy cheek.” And it has all sorts of passages about killing your own children and selling your daughter into slavery. Who then can follow such absurd laws? And if we don’t follow them, can we be said to be follower? Would the pastors who preach Christ sell their Ferrari’s and help the poor? Very doubtful, indeed. So who is a real believer?
The closest could probably be credited with the Islamist Nations…and I personally don’t want that sort of government anywhere close to the Western hemisphere. There’s no need to be driving down the street and seeing a woman getting beheaded because she forgot to cover her face; or homosexuals being stoned to death because of the way they were born; the list is endless of deplorable atrocities. But the good part is that over here we have a separation of Church and State, and thus won’t have any sick shit like that anytime soon. Hopefully.
Religion can be said to produce more wars, more false hopes, and more hypocrites than any other element on earth. There is nothing wrong with the individual belief, but the conditioning and forcing of another without proper investigation – both into the religion itself and the consequence of the one succumbing to it – is an extremely harmful effect. If for nothing else than the constricting of critical thinking.
Everyday a new child is subjected to the religious mutilation of circumcision. And already mentioned are the barbaric practices in the Middle East. These evil methods are part of “god’s” plan? If so, then that is not my God, and not my Creator.
Who could ever possibly determine who is right and who is wrong? Or perhaps it might be better to let the next child find their own way and go about their own values? Before this merciless forcing of one’s will becomes the end of us all.

A Brief Study of Freedom in an Unchanging Day

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Before we are even conceived there are forces that have dictated the energy of our soul into a position in which we have no control. And put a handicap on the weight of our Freedom. Nobody had a choice in whether or not they actually wanted to exist in this world. No one had a selection of characteristics which would make them up physically, mentally, and emotionally. Race, sex, family, country, religious heritage – each having a substantial effect on the individual.
For example, if you are a female, then statistically you are a better target for rapists. If your family is of Islamic beliefs, you are obligated to be a Muslim for life, punishable in certain Nations of being put to death for an attempt at conversion. And anyone living today could just as easily been born into Hitler’s Germany or Stalin’s Russia, with absolutely no choice.
At this point it must be acknowledged that the “individual” cannot really be considered as an individual. We are in actuality just organisms. It is all the uncontrollable choices that Life (in its most broad definition) that makes up our person. A much better term to refer to this organism is “slave.” The reason for this is because we are merely property to another organism, or at the very least the prisoner of someone else. More often than not though, we are the legal merchandise of another. And usually with debts - whether it be from our parents, country, or corporations.
Once that has been established we are pushed into a position to meet accept a given societies expectations; run and controlled by that lands ruling Government. It is not natural for children coming into this World to be forced into a chair and spend the bulk amount of their time reading and learning about subjects they have no interest in. If there was ever a shred of distinctive personality within that human begin, the powers-that-be would make it their duty to drill that out of their conscience. With nobody to build their roads or police the masses, or fight their wars and pay their taxes, the System would collapse. So they set up an order of rules and restrictions that ensure that the slaves are in almost complete obedience. All the while making it look and feel very righteous. Give them a little, and the majority will go give their lives to their master.
It is in my opinion that this is because the human Mind need somebody to make decisions for them. It is much easier for somebody else to make a resolution for them instead of having to go to war with their Mind and come up with their own reasonable and objective opinion. Most have already been trained from birth to follow standard. Eventually it comes to point that it is to much burden to think for themselves. They believe that they will be out-casted and discriminated for thinking for themselves…a mental and emotional prison. So to fill in that empty hole in their brain they make a most valiant effort to identify with a seemingly valid supremacy. Country, religion, cults, gangs, marriage: all have there place in the lonely human psyche. Most of which are very blatantly fictitious.
Last, but most certainly not least is the fact that creatures in this world are in constant competition with other creatures. It happens every second of every day of every year and with every Time Era of our World. We feel the irresistible urge to show that we are in control. We must exhibit that we are superior in every way possible. We actually get satisfaction in the anguish that we cause to another, with rarely ever a reasonable justification. This is no doubt caused by some sort of inferiority complex. It is like a cancer, constantly feeding on control and obedience. It is eternal. Control and suffering will go on forever. It will never end. “Freedom” thus, is nonexistent.
The only sensible way to escape your servitude is to cut off as many ties to your ruling existence as possible. All attachments to society and mental restraints must be done away with. With the possible exception to family – as I brought life into this World I must be held responsible for it.
For thousands of years people lived in harmony with basic natural order. Mother Earth and small tribes relied on each other. In the 21st Century people accept the ignorance which holds them in confinement.
There is one last way to End this horrible life. One day, billions of years from now, the Universe might collapse on Itself. With that, suffering and control might finally conclude.
