So, uhm, I think, looking around me, I better get back on it now.

And, I'm NEVER going to stop bugging you about Michael Tsarion.

I think I will have much more of him here for you later, too.

The Zionists are at it again.

But for another thing — notice that date: 11,000 years old. If this is correct, we’re looking at something old enough that, as the article linked points out, was built at the time humanity was supposedly just transitioning from being hunter-gatherers to agricultural. Such a tower near the ancient ruins of Jericho, however, is another little monkey wrench thrown into the works of that academic model. This date would place it around 9,000 BC, that is to say, roughly during the same time period as the date proposed by Dr. Robert Schoch and John Anthony West for the re-dating of the Sphinx.

Either looking for the proof of their chosentude or to hide the evidence that it was another population altogether, I suppose.... :-P

Oh, and, uh, why am I not surprised?

There are spots in all these hours that are so deeply satisfying, it makes me want to go set rocks in a certain little ceremonial pattern. Do one of my little earth meditations. Maybe build one of my miniature bonfires with blades of dry grass and itsy twigs. Something that absorbing. In one or the other of the latter in the alchemy/social engineering section—actually, I think the latest, number seven—they are talking about education and saying things with which I so deeply, and necessarily secretly, identify, it sounds like karma petting me with dharma. It strikes me that it's the same old problem. I'm on another planet, or from one.

But there are CLUES in there that can mean the difference between life and death to you, so if you still won't listen, at least try to remember there have been clues laying around you did not pick up.

I'm gonna try not to post too much for a few days, but... well... we'll see how that goes....

I just went to see if maybe there was a new interview to hear, and there are FOUR new ones that must have just shown up. I thought for a moment to pick one of these mp3s to link, but decided it's better you pick for yourself. I've heard them all, some twice, except these four latest ones. I have to say, I am very grateful for GeorgeAnn Hughes. She has literally afforded me many hours of good listening, and I'd send her some of my no money if I could. If you have any, I hope you will send her some for me. No kidding. I can tell she's a great lady and I've listened to her come up with some amazingly cool things to say and ask about. She and her guests are usually well worth your earprints.

Okay, if you are persisting in being a judgmental twat, THIS ONE is about the JFK assassination. So if yer too lazy or too busy or too hypnotized to listen to the stuff about physics and tighter explanations for historical and current events, I know most of you will make time for JFK... because, if you wouldn't, neither would you ever read this blog....

.

And... in the last fifteen minutes or so they discuss the Egypt stuff: the elevation of Zahi Hawass to cabinet level; agents provocateurs; looters; hidden hands.... We're talking about someone HIGHLY intelligent and WELL educated—a doctorate from Oxford—talking about things with which he is NOT merely casually acquainted.

I really hate to complicate your life like this, and I know Judy Wood is harder to follow than Richard Gage, remaining cryptic about too much, choosing her words carefully, but... she does a better job explaining what was observable on 9/11 than the CD guys. No. Really. After the countless hours we've spent on this, it's hard to give up and switch to something even less likely to get public support, but... truth is a cruel mistress.

Beside cleaning up our act being turned into a wedge issue so we will continue to slime the planet until the humans of Earth go extinct, having dragged countless other species with us, everyone on both sides continues to ignore that we will never be able to do anything about it, one way or the other, as long as we allow those in control to control. And I don't mean you can vote them out... or in.

People persist in bleating about peak oil when, in fact, we also have no idea of the veracity of such a claim. Maybe we can postulate that what we know about seems to be drying up, but that excludes the abiotic oil theory that really does have merit and some recent maybe-not-completely-persuasive evidence to back it up. And it ignores the irrefutable fact that the use of hydrocarbons must be curtailed to the greatest extent conceivable whether or not we're running out of it. It's filthy. There is NO doubt it hurts living things.

People identify themselves with this wedge issue, just like they do with abortion and guns and gay marriage and God. We have seen countless times how damaging to effectiveness this identification unerringly is. We have experienced the utter defeat of our very best wishes for humanity and for the planet over and over and over and over and over BECAUSE we have allowed ourselves to be divided from our fellows by our own psychological need to line up behind those who seem to be our fellows. The controllers, the power elite, the space lizards have been using it on us for centuries and it's bulletproof.

Don't be a jackass! You don't KNOW if global warming is anthropogenic, and some of the bogus science that has popped up to take advantage of the increased funding for coming up with a good model to prove it has actually set back any ability to ever prove it. There are legions of extremely intelligent and loving people who INSIST all the planets in the Solar System are warming. I repeat: You don't KNOW. And neither do the deniers. They know that this stuff is being pushed hard by those whose mission in life it is to enslave us. They have UTTERLY no evidence that it is a ruse concocted solely to squeeze more "taxes" out of us, but they are NOT going to think of another thing for the rest of their lives until the threat and reality of ever-increasing taxation and mandatory expenses is GONE.

NO ONE KNOWS.

Everyone knows we are poisoning the planet and ourselves. Nobody disagrees on that. The only disagreement comes in over the expense of turning that around, and THEN we get right back to shit-slinging for fun and profit over THAT.

You're a selfish venal evil fuck to begrudge the money to clean this up! No, no, YOU are the selfish candy-ass airy-fairy evil fuck to begrudge me and mine the ability to EAT!

You will never be free as long as you can't stop making the same mistakes. You have no business denigrating anyone on the other side when you are every bit as guilty as they are, and when you can be shown over and over and over and over the error of your ways and STILL you prefer continuing to err—and whining that you have no choice—to facing the goddam monster inside who you would rather the planet turn into a ball of cyanide than ever face.

If you wonder how I can like Michael Tsarion going on about energy vampires and the pernicious effects of the "we" mentality, it is because I can see it is his way of urging you to DROP your addiction to forming an identity around the pace setters of consensus trance. You are hotly engaged in contributing to your own helpless hypnosis for as long as you cannot BREAK that vicious cycle, as long as you continue to surf that evil tide.

why 99 is suddenly pushing tsarion interviews so hard

[click image — I've just added a couple videos to last night's Tsarion link.]

.

A funny thing has happened on my way to my doctorate in Out There. Taking my own advice, pushing through all the cues to ridicule or ignore Michael Tsarion, continuing to just listen as though he might be telling the unvarnished truth, as though he were the unvarnished truth speaking, just for the duration of listening, I end up with identifying a man who is actually offering sentient beings a way to reformulate themselves out of the squished mess the sociopaths' world has made of them. Not that you will heed, but this bears some explaining.

You will recall me huffing and puffing about the realization that I have to go back and strip myself of all the defaults uploaded to me over the course of my life and begin checking everything... the very spark that ignited my desire for this arcane doctorate... though, of course, I began by deconstructing some knee jerk responses to the egregiously maligned world leaders so often in the news. It hit me that I had caught the powers that be, the mainstream, the world, the controllers, whatever you want to call them, in baldfaced lies so many times that it was vividly apparent I could no longer feel solid about anything from them I've thought I've known for most of my life. I can no longer rely on the science, the politics, the history, the opinions, the traditions—none of it—given to me by way of my having been born here. Lucky for me I have spent a couple decades studying the ancients or I might never have been able to pry myself loose from the reigning genocidal delusion. Unfortunately for you, you almost certainly don't have anyone more experienced and better disciplined to give you this dharma, but the buddhas might indeed smile on you for any good faith effort to hang with me on this stuff. That is worth something.

That is the truth, and before you just whip past this as an empty boast, try to remember that my work for decades has utterly convinced me of the suicidal folly of lying or indulging in empty boasts at any time short of readily apparent outbursts of humor. I'm not kidding. Your willingness to entertain the notion that I'm being truthful, lucid and communicating something vital is good karma, will bring good things into your life.

Michael Tsarion started out causing me quite a bit of difficulty. He was always ranting in righteous indignation and it wasn't remotely relaxing to spend the time to hear his wild stuff, even as it was clear it was punctuated with some really good stuff. His numerology and astrology stuff really got my hackles up and worked hard to throw buckets of water on all the good stuff I could hear coming out of him. He is a vastly worse English murderer than I can ever claim to have been, even at my very most experimental. OMG! He left me sputtering one time from all the times in one of his more flaming flameouts he completely overshot the word he was looking for to utter some sounds-alike word that outright had no correspondence with the word he'd obviously meant to have said. Then, his mispronunciation of so many of the words he got right also tended to make me have to stifle my hand reaching for the mouse to snap him off before my brain exploded. Surely there's a better way to become an expert in Out There than this! My sensibilities were bludgeoned even when applying my strongest Zen objectivity to the task of listening.

Right as I was telling myself that I had given him enough chances and could now safely ignore him, he lost all his ire and spoke a line that erased all doubt of his enlightening being, numerology and astrology notwithstanding.

Oddly, after that time I have not heard him rant like the first five or six times I listened to him. I'm unsure if this is because the first stuff I listened to was from longer ago and he has matured, or if at least some of it is my not being fazed by his tone anymore as a result of finally hearing that one bit that erased doubt. I'm not saying he is an enlightened master. I am saying he has genuine insight and will get there if he can keep from falling into a fatal ego pit. I am also saying to you that the guy is a stone cold genius and even if you never fall for one stick of his theory, the real history he tells you about in support of it is more than worth the price of admission.

So, next, I went about finding the way to reconcile his airy-fairy stuff with the deeply true stuff he was also imparting. I mean, you can't get there from here, can you? Well, possibly, yes you can! He's not talking about either of those in the corrupted sense we understand them today, and insists they were parts of the pre-diluvian science we would do well to begin to cultivate. Okay. THAT could be 100% righteous. Phew. I, of course, have not cultivated them, yet, and may never have the wherewithal to do any attempt justice, but I know for certain that my corrupted conditioning on the matters of numerology and astrology lets him out of being associated with either, and lets the blinking neon evidence of his greater understanding stay clean of any suspicion of mere plagiarism on his part.

I wonder if he even made it to high school. I have no clue. I know he at least audited a university course on the advice of a mentor, but mostly I think Michael Tsarion is an autodidact. Contrary to our conditioning, this is a BOON. It also accounts for his wild pronunciation of so many words. People, loners, who learn everything through reading mispronounce a LOT. Then, too, he spends all his time in a bunch of different languages. Then, too, he's blurting all this out on the air, where just about everyone, no matter how erudite, falls prey to misspeaking just out of nerves.

So I don't know if you can overcome all the impediments to taking him seriously, not having the experience with the ancients that I do, but I really must insist that you bloody-well should. In point of fact, you should drop everything to give him as much time as possible... NOT to take every word of his as gospel, but so that you might begin to suss out the clarity to break free of your conditioning. THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. And I have found you a good tool.

OR, since you really are a walking corrupt conditioning sausage—if you are human and especially a human raised in the Western tradition—you really could take every word out of his mouth as gospel and come out ahead, because he provides a whole alternative POV to adopt that will help you make less mistakes, help you stop wasting your ENTIRE life hypnotized by nefarious disinformation. Do you follow me? I'm saying that even if the history he propounds is as off the mark as the one you've been fed, going with his is definitely ultimately less destructive, BUT if you listen long enough and begin to really follow his reasoning, you are most apt to find yourself truly thinking for yourself for the first time in your entire life.

I mean, of course, that it isn't enough to be in the Independent Thinkers Union, because that is really just identifying as a contrary in the Dependent Thinkers in the Consensus Trance Union. THAT is why all your independent thinking hasn't counted for squat in all these years. I'm telling you the truth.

So, last night I went back through quite a few months worth of Out There posts and put all of the ones with him in them into his own Tsarion label. Maybe you want to bookmark it. Or maybe you just want to know that it resides here in the sidebar under his image or at the bottom of my blog in the labels "cloud". If any of this sounds good to any of you who have not been taking the time, not wanted to bother with my meanderings in the vast cosmos of Out There, just flat out knee jerk away from alternative anything, here's the chance to get a bit of insight that you've been suffering without your whole life.

It's completely up to you.

Busy holidays? Pfeh.

I have shunned participation in them since I was in high school. Seriously. They aren't celebrations. They're funerals for what would have been our real lives if we were not so frantically trying to comport ourselves to social expectations. Every Christmas and every Thanksgiving of my entire childhood was spent in the bosom of intense family dysfunction and make-work and chaos and no parking space and simmering resentments and insincere gestures... all to get at that great dinner and that mound of presents. So not worth it. First I tried going out and buying everyone the most fantastic Christmas presents they ever got, made a big hairy deal out of GENUINELY lavishing goodies on everyone on my list. Then I tried making stuff for everyone. Then I started pleading for us to not get ANY presents or do the tree or cook or any of it, and all go to, say, the Ahwahnee together for the whole holiday... or go storm Downieville... or go to some fabulous lodge somewhere, completely relax, enjoy ourselves and each other. Nope. Gotta do the done thing.

So I took to long walks on the beach alone for my holidays. I'm not sorry for me, but I am sorry for you.

Well, and... HERE is an mp3 that's three and a half hours and I've never heard it before... which would mean you probably haven't either....

C'mon, man, yer off work, the relatives are boring, and Tsarion gives you SO much food for thought.

What the Wiki-Saga Teaches Us
2 December 2010
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

The reaction to WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange tells us all we need to know about the total corruption of our “modern” world, which in fact is a throwback to the Dark Ages.

Some member of the United States government released to WikiLeaks the documents that are now controversial. The documents are controversial, because they are official US documents and show all too clearly that the US government is a duplicitous entity whose raison d’etre is to control every other government.

The media, not merely in the US but also throughout the English speaking world and Europe, has shown its hostility to WikiLeaks. The reason is obvious. WikiLeaks reveals truth, while the media covers up for the US government and its puppet states.

Why would anyone with a lick of sense read the media when they can read original material from WikiLeaks? The average american reporter and editor must be very angry that his/her own cowardice is so clearly exposed by Julian Assange. The american media is a whore, whereas the courageous blood of warriors runs through WikiLeaks’ veins.

Just as american politicians want Bradley Manning executed because he revealed crimes of the US government, they want Julian Assange executed. In the past few days the more notorious of the dumbshits that sit in the US Congress have denounced Assange as a “traitor to america.” What total ignorance. Assange is an Australian, not an american citizen. To be a traitor to america, one has to be of the nationality. An Australian cannot be a traitor to america any more than an american can be a traitor to Australia. But don’t expect the morons who represent the lobbyists to know this much.

Mike Huckabee, the redneck baptist preacher who was governor of arkansas and, to america’s already overwhelming shame, was third runner up to the Republican presidential nomination, has called for Assange’s execution. So here we have a “man of God” calling for the US government to murder an Australian citizen. And americans wonder why the rest of the world hates their guts.

The material leaked from the US government to WikiLeaks shows that the US government is an extremely disreputable gang of gangsters. The US government was able to get British prime minister Brown to “fix” the official Chilcot Investigation into how former prime minister Tony Blair manipulated and lied the British government into being mercenaries for the US invasion of Iraq. One of the “diplomatic” cables released has UK Defense Ministry official Jon Day promising the United States government that prime minister Brown’s government has “put measures in place to protect your interests.”

Other cables show the US government threatening Spanish prime minister Zapatero, ordering him to stop his criticisms of the Iraq war or else. I mean, really, how dare these foreign governments to think that they are sovereign.

Not only foreign governments are under the US thumb. So is Amazon.com. Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who is Israel’s most influential senator in the US Senate, delivered sufficiently credible threats to Amazon to cause the company to oust WikiLeaks content from their hosting service.

So there you have it. On the one hand the US government and the prostitute american media declare that there is nothing new in the hundreds of thousands of documents, yet on the other hand both pull out all stops to shut down WikiLeaks and its founder. Obviously, despite the US government’s denials, the documents are extremely damaging. The documents show that the US government is not what it pretends to be.

Assange is in hiding. He fears CIA and Mossad assassination, and to add to his troubles the government of Sweden has changed its mind, perhaps as a result of american persuasion and money, about sex charges that the Swedish government had previously dismissed for lack of credibility. If reports are correct, two women, who possibly could be CIA or Mossad assets, have brought sex charges against Assange. One claims that she was having consensual sexual intercourse with him, but that he didn’t stop when she asked him to when the condom broke.

Think about this for a minute. Other than male porn stars who are bored with it all, how many men can stop at the point of orgasm or when approaching orgasm? How does anyone know where Assange was in the process of the sex act?

Would a real government that had any integrity and commitment to truth try to blacken the name of the prime truth teller of our time on the basis of such flimsy charges?

Obviously, Sweden has become another two-bit punk puppet government of the US.

The US government has got away with telling lies for so long that it no longer hesitates to lie in the most blatant way. WikiLeaks released a US classified document signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that explicitly orders US diplomats to spy on UN Security council officials and on the Secretary General of the United Nations. The cable is now in the public record. No one challenges its authenticity. Yet, today the Obama regime, precisely White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, declared that Hillary had never ordered or even asked US officials to spy on UN officials.

As Antiwar.com asked: Who do you believe, the printed word with Hillary’s signature or the White House?

Anyone who believes the US government about anything is the epitome of gullibility.

Oh, at least.

I see patterns emerging. Not just the Batman and Robin metaphor, but all these cables resemble heavily the rumors and the mentalities I've been noticing all over the tubes for years. It has long since been apparent to me that wherever the United States puts out the worst propaganda, there is where the most probity is bound to be in evidence. Unfortunately—oh, way, so way, unfortunately—few can follow this logic in the vast echo chamber that is our public "discourse." There are quotes around that because what some might call it doesn't cut it for me.

It looks to me as though we might as well have Joe Scarborough or Glenn Beck or Keith Olbermann or Jon Stewart manning our embassies 'round the globe. This is REALLY depressing stuff. And I'm finding it less and less a wonder how people can feel this stuff is bogus, planted propaganda... because that's the NICE PERSON'S take on it. I don't think it is true. In fact, I'm certain it's not, but, yes, indeed, I really am starting to see the logic of it at last. You're wrong. This is the real dope. Every other country on earth does its best to placate our psychopathic mentality because we have shown over and over and over again what happens when you don't dance to our tune, and tough shit how many of us have starved and died to keep The Joker's arsenal honed. Like I said before, be grateful for the ketchup.

This is not propaganda. This wasn't a plant. It's the beautiful filthy truth. They're as hypnotized as we are.

This is who we are and who we have to deal with.

.

Probably the biggest mistake Julian made was making this fully available to the major newspapers first. He should have given it to many independent journalists to all publish on WikiLeaks itself, since its pretty certain he doesn't have the wherewithal to have had it all digested and explained to people who need help parsing the veracity and the context on each bit of material. No doubt the old warhorses, Hersh and Fisk have way more faith in their colleagues at the major papers than is actually warranted these days. But I tell myself it may not be too late to get an army of writers ON this. I know the hope is that each of us out here will pluck what we want from the sea of cables and run with it, either on our blogs or in our conversations with others, but I think it needs to be more organized than that. You might agree by now that the material needs to be accompanied by at least some cogent commentary to help keep people from going pathologically stupid and/or paranoid behind it. That IS the reason it gets released to the big news outlets, but I think it was foreseeable that they'd immediately do more harm than good with it, even if I understand why Fisk and Hersh might be a little blind to this, even for as exasperated with the general state of the press as they are.

.

I want to remind you again that if our country were not broken, not completely owned and operated by CRIMINALS, there would have been no need for WikiLeaks at all. But everyone will be distracted from the actual by the hit jobs on the actual we're getting, EVEN as the actual is RIGHT HERE under our noses to deal with. I want my cave in China... with a claw foot tub.

.

Maybe Julian will want to come along:

Assange is widely believed to be residing in southeast England, according to media reports.

Mark Stephens, his lawyer, said that British police and the security services of several nations knew his whereabouts, but did not confirm his location.

"The [British] police are being slightly foxy in their answers, but they know exactly how to get in touch with him, as do the Swedish prosecutors," he told the AFP news agency.

"Both the British and the Swedish authorities know how to contact him, and the security services know exactly where he is,'' he said in a separate interview to the the Associated Press.

I can't fathom he's enjoying this. In fact, I'm certain he's not.

TSA turns off naked body scanners to avoid opt-out day protests
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
24 November 2010

(NaturalNews) — Anticipating a nationwide grassroots surge of protests against naked body scanners and aggressive pat-downs, the TSA simply turned off its naked body scanners on Wednesday and let air travelers walk right through security checkpoints without being X-rayed or molested.

All across the country, air travelers are reporting that the TSA simply deactivated the naked body scanners and let people go right through without a scan. "Backscatter scanners are off. No scan. No patdown." reported a traveler from the Seattle airport. "Backscatter machines aren't being used at LAX," reported another traveler. "They're all roped off."

Much the same story is being reported all across the country.

The TSA is desperate to avoid protests

Shutting down the "National Opt-Out Day" by turning off the machines is the only logical move for the TSA, of course: The agency needed a way to defuse the growing grassroots resistance to its criminal violations of Americans' Fourth Amendment rights. So instead of facing what was sure to be widespread protest, the agency simply decided to turn off the machines for a day.

This action tells us all sorts of fascinating things about the TSA and its fabricated security excuses. Perhaps most importantly, it proves that the naked body scanners are not needed for air travel security in the first place. When it wants to, the TSA can just turn the machines off and resort to baggage X-rays and metal detectors. That's worked for years, and it apparently worked today, too.

And yet, up until today, the TSA has insisted that the naked body scanners are absolutely essential to detecting hidden bombs, and that "travelers won't be safe" unless they use the naked body scanners. So all of a sudden today it's okay for the TSA to put air travelers at risk of being blown up?

The TSA can't have it both ways. Either the naked body scanners are vital for air security and they need to be running 24/7 to keep everybody safe, or they're just another security con game being played out for the financial benefit of Chertoff and others who profit from the sale of such machines.

How can the TSA — with a straight face — say that naked body scanners are vital for air security but not on the busiest air travel day of the year?

As you can see, there are some serious holes in the TSA's mythology, and interestingly, this National Opt-Out Day indirectly exposed them by getting the TSA to turn off the naked body scanners. This is effectively an admission that they aren't important to air security.

Trying to avoid any challenge to its power

This action by the TSA also shows that the TSA is desperately trying to avoid being publicly embarrassed by the national-opt-out day protests. Lots of local and national news film crews were out at the airports today, hoping to catch something interesting on camera. But by turning off the naked body scanners, the TSA was able to stage a "calm looking" day at the airport.

As soon as the TV cameras leave, however, they can turn those machines right back on and start molesting people once again. This is classic behavior of police state tyrants: They present a calm, professional image to the media, but once the cameras leave, all of a sudden their hands are back down in your pants.

I predict the TSA will have the machines turned right back on by Friday, and more reports of sexual molestation and inappropriate pat-downs will continue to emerge.

Many people just skipped the airports altogether

The other big travel news today was that lots of travelers decided to simply skip the airports altogether. NaturalNews received emails from several travelers who described major U.S. airports as "nearly empty."

Meanwhile, traffic was terrible on the freeways. The Massachusetts Turnpike played host to a 30-mile traffic jam today.

A new Zogby poll indicates that 43% of the American public will seek alternatives to flying due to the TSA's aggressive pat-downs and naked body scanners. That's going to add up to a huge financial hit for the air travel industry in the months ahead. The TSA could end up destroying much of the air travel industry altogether!

After that, it's mostly a discussion about freedom and the Bill of Rights. You can watch that video commentary for free HERE.

Thank you to all who participated in the National Opt Out Day. In getting the TSA to turn off its naked body scanners, we exposed the TSA's "big lie" about air travel safety.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and travel safely, no matter what method of transportation you choose.

I even bothered to strip out all the visual impediments and bogus links for your convenience and serenity....

The master playlist from which this is taken is HERE... in case you want to use up a day listening to it, but I am unsure you want to even use up an hour or two for things that are, in fact, a matter of life and death for you to take on board, take seriously, use to awaken from the dirt nap you call life.

I'm feeling grumpy again, at this moment, that there is no evidence any of the stuff I bring up here in good faith is connecting with any of you on any level. It's getting on my nerves. I don't know if your silence is brute or that of lethal pusillanimity or just good old ignorance ignoring yet more. I'm not wanting to waste my time, and I am suspecting that I am wasting my time. I'm not going to fix that by finding some time wasting that interests you. That's not love. That's genocide.

Maybe I should be working on ways to turn it into sound bites for you instead of these chunks of hours.

But I really want you to have a listen to this guy. It's Sunday. What the hell. It's only an hour, and, in fact it's apparent that he had to rush some really good stuff way too much, but you get the idea you should try listening to this guy for real. How can you get that idea if you don't listen even once?

Or, this one is fantastic and just a little longer....

Or, go to yer local airport and raise hell.

I mean, either you learn how to remove your energy from the control system or you go force its energy to change, right? We are adults. We make this world what it is. Obviously, we gotta do better. NOW.

disoriented

Maybe we should change the name of my theme song to "Unmoored". I have been feeling fairly markedly disoriented for days. I don't feel like I'm in this world. I'm not of it, but I'm supposed to be in it while not of it. I remember feeling this way the day before the '89 earthquake that dropped the Bay Bridge and rattled my house so hard I thought a truck was driving into it. I'd like to think it's my frequency rising to the next dimension, but I don't think that's it. Somebody look up in the Merck Manual for a dread disease that is characterized by a pervasive sense of being out of phase with one's surroundings. Please. I'm not depressed. I'm not happy. I'm not any particular mood. I'm just very, very weird, as though I'm splitting off, a combined lightness and heaviness that do not intersect, do not meld... out of phase, out of phase....

I'd get in my tub if I had one! Yessir. I'd get in there and soak myself good, right this very now. My not-a-tub will not do for this. I know it in advance. I know when I can get in there and pretend, despite the unlovely maneuvers required, and when I just cannot. Now is such a time... and it's been going on for many days. I'm OUT of phase.

.

And, it's clear that I still cannot brook the sight of Alan Dershowitz, even late at night, without screeching at the top of my lungs and sputtering invective so loudly that lights switch on across the neighborhood. It takes months and months to regain the mental poise to even MENTION this stuff. And even out-of-it as I am right now, kabam! I want to reach through my monitor and rip out his throat. Not Zen. You might agree.

Anyway, I think RT may be airing American Radical this weekend a few times... but I'm obviously unable to get through it still, much as I love and respect Norman.

.

I am knowing about all this because I couldn't wait for Max interviewing Alex to come up on YouTube, and so have been watching it air—via LiveStation—on RT. I heavily recommend it to you. It is good for the spirit to hear them together. They are nonpartisan. They are screaming the truth. They are making a dent. They are supporting us in making a dent. At LAST some REAL MEN are carving out the space for SENSE. They are a couple of the kind of guys I've always wanted on my side... and they perfectly crystal clearly ARE on my side.
