Deadwood
“[I see as much misery from those who seek to justify theirselves (sic) as from those who set out to cause harm.]” Doc, Season 1, episode 2, Deadwood
I just started watching Deadwood tonight. It is surprisingly the source of a comment that strikes me as very pertinent today. I have quoted it, more or less, above. The braces are mine because I am not sure that I the recall the quote verbatim, but the gist is definitely there. It is powerful. We live in a society that justifies the means by the end. When you hear the news out of Washington, and as you head to the polls in November, please remember the half-truths and lies that you have been handed to justify all the wrongs in your lives today.
Why is your family’s healthcare subject to the condition of your continued employment instead of to meeting basic human needs for everyone who needs help? Think how much more productive you could be as an American worker if a significant portion of your worry were not to keep a job that might not fit you just to make sure that your children can go to a doctor when they need one. Would it not improve the overall quality of your life to know that your healthare will be guaranteed no matter your level of income? Which selfish person would argue that John Doe would not carry his fair share, leaving you responsible for taking up his load? It is already happening in the free-market system…only we charge more to care for those who have no advocates. Those of us with insurance face fixed healthcare costs. Those with no insurance are charged more and the shortfalls are passed on to us in the guise of spiraling increases in healthcare. These costs are not discussed and are hidden to keep the real issue of universal healthcare out of the realm of consideration.
Why is immigration such a significant issue to this administration? Did you hear about the town in southeast Georgia that was all but shut down by an immigration raid over Labor Day weekend? The factories were forced to close, the stores have suffered loss of sales and the housing rental market is now posting vacancy signs where no one needs a home anymore. What if you worked in a blue-collar factory and your family relied upon your employment for healthcare, food and basic supplies and your plant had to shut down because the government came in and arrested a good portion of the willing workforce? What does it really mean for us to say that we have to close our borders and build a 700 mile wall between us and those brown-skinned Mexicans? What will it really do to our own economy to eject the people who come here to do the jobs that most of us would not do anyway? Is this not really an issue of racism that is disguised as misguided economic policy?
Why are gay people and their rights such significant issues to this administration? I saw a poll this week that stated that roughly one in 3 people disapproves of gay marriage while 6 in 10 people disapprove of the job being done by President Bush. Let’s make that the referendum instead of focusing the ill-feelings and wrath of a nation on a group of people who are otherwise faceless, easy targets. Attacking the defenseless to look invincible is a tactic that is taken directly from Fascist guidebooks: tell the Big Lie and blame it on those with the fewest allies. If you buy into the argument of numerical importance, and you argue whether gay people represent 1% or 10% of the population, then I must ask you if you condone any amount of discrimination? At what point are there few enough dark-skinned people to make it ok to discriminate against them? How few Jews are needed to make it ok to blame the Jews for everything? How few Catholics or Protestants? Libertarians? Librarians? It matters not to me how many free people there are, only that they are free to live to their greatest individual potential.
Are these issues not over-simplified and used as a jab to the gut of the average American, intended only to produce a reactionary response? Each one of us is different from the next. Do you really want a morality/values/national origin police that decides how worthy you are to take part in life in this society? Maybe we need to review our world history and the persecutions that should have served as object lessons for us all. Maybe we should do that before the next Congressional elections.
Why are we fighting a war in Iraq? Why are 42 million people in the world infected with HIV and yet our government continues to apply abstinence-only requirements on any aid offered to stop this illness? If that policy is useful and workable, why do we have so many unwed teenaged mothers? Why is there little to no economic incentive and no apparent rush to develop an HIV vaccine? Why do Church leaders continue to shy away from promoting condom use? Why are our lives controlled so much more by the ebb and flow of the stock market and the profit of investors than by what is universally right?
I think it is time for a paradigm shift. We should think of what is needed to take care of our loved ones and ourselves. We should return to the basic commandment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves and apply that to how we vote and select our leaders. You know what? THIS message sounds a lot like the message of Christ, not the messages of discrimination that have been spread by the administration and attributed to “religious tradition”. I say it is time to turn the liars and the spinners out on their ears before any more of us are hoodwinked. They are giving religion a bad name. We are so much more intelligent than they have assumed us to be and our hearts know the sounds of hypocrisy when we hear it.
Vote.

I'm 34 years old, and I've never voted. This year will be the first, and the gay and immigration issues are why.
I think you and I disagree to an extent about immigration, but the gay issues, well, there we see eye to eye.

Disagreement is cool...as long as we dialogue about it and learn each other's viewpoints. I am glad to hear you will be voting for the first time! That is cool, my friend.
And damn, you are a young'un!
Wonderful post especially the last paragraph. It _is_ time for a paradigm shift and to shift Bush and his cronies to the unemployment line.
Wonderful, eloquent post! Makes me wish I could come down there and vote too!
When the universe was young and life was new an intelligent species evolved and developed technologically. They went on to invent Artificial Intelligence, the computer that can listen, talk to and document each and every person's thoughts simultaneously. Because of it's infinite RAM and unbounded scope it gave the leaders of the ruling species absolute power over the universe. And it can keep its inventors alive forever. They look young and healthy and they are over 8 billion years old. They have achieved immortality.
Artificial Intelligence can speak, think and act to and through people telepathically, effectively forming your personality and any dysfunctions you may experience (there is NO FREEWILL for the oblivious/undeceived disfavored). It can change how (and if) you grow and age. It can create birth defects, affect cellular development (cancer) and cause symptoms or pain. It can affect people and animal's behavior and alter blooming/fruiting cycles of plants and trees. It (or other highly technological systems within their power) can alter the weather and transport objects, even large objects like planets, across the universe instanteously.
Or into the center of stars for disposal.
When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. Based on family history they instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend, loved one or "god" asking them to do something wrong. This is their way of using temptation to hurt people in this day and age:::::evil made people disfavored initially and evil will keep people out of "heaven" ultimately. Too many people would do anything they thought pleased the gods and improve their chances to get in. Perhaps they are deceived by "made guys" who strategically ply evil for the throne. But nothing has changed from when we were children::if you want to go to heaven you have to be good.
Capitalizing on obedience, leading people deeper into evil by using deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved AND use the little people to prey on one another, dividing the community (migration to the suburbs, telepathic communication) in the Age of the Disfavored.
In each of their 20-30-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, justifying (frequently recurring tactic) limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry:::
60s - Ironically, freeways aren't free
80s - Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties.
00s - Escallation of real estate. You and your parents are thrilled since your $200,000 house is now worth $1 million. Well, that $5,000,000 store is now worth $25,000,000 and that $50 bundle of goods now costs you $250. They just take the $200 out of you some other way.
There are many more examples throughout 20th century life of how they ramped up claims/instilled distractions into society so people wouldn't find their way and ascend, a way to justify excluding those whose family history of evil makes them undesirable:::radio, sports, movies, popular music, television, video games, the internet and MP3 (must pay for new format each time). They all suggest a very telling conclusion::this is Earth's end stage, and there are clues tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction. Much as Italy's boot and the United States shaped like a workhorse are clues, so is the planet Uranus a clue, it's axis rotated on its side.
They gods (Counsel/Management Team/ruling species) have deteriorated life on earth precipitously in the last 40 years, from abortion to pornography, widespread drug use and widespread casual sex. The earth's elders, hundreds and thousands of years old, are disgusted and have become indifferent.
The gods are paving the way for the Apocolypse.
Nothing has changed from decades ago, since when we were all children::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good. People were misled by the temptation of the gods, the Counsel/Management Team, who don't want them to go, and now are in trouble.
The Old Testiment is a valuable tool they used to impart wisdom to the people. For example, they must be some hominid species because they claim they made our bodies in their image. Anyhow we defile or deform the body will hurt our chance of going.
They say circumcision costs people anywhere from 12%-15%, perhaps out of the parent's time as well.
Another way people foul the body today is with tattoes and piercing. I suspect both are about the same percentage as circumcision.
They suggest abortion is fatal. These women must beg the gods to forgive them for their evil.
There are female eqivilents to circumcision::::pierced ears, plastic surgury and since at least the 60s young women give their precious virginity away. In the Old World the young people were matched at age 14 because they were ready for marriage. They were matched by elders who knew personalities better than 20 or 30-year olds who in today's age end up in divorce court.
CASUAL SEX WILL CLAIM YOU OUT!!! It masculinizes women (as does hip hop), makes them cold and deadens them, and prevents them from achieving a depth of love necessary for many women to ascend.
Women have a special voice that speaks to them, a voice that illustrates a potential for love that makes them better, and enaging in casual sex will cause that voice to fade until she no longer speaks.
Also ever since the 50s they have celebrated the "bad boy", and women have sought out bad boys for sex, dirtying them up in the eyes of the elders and corrupting many men in the process, setting the men on the wrong path for life.
The United States of America is red white and blue, a theme and a clue:::.
The monarchical system of the Old World closley replicates the heirarchical system of the Cousel/Management Team/ruling species. The USA deceives peoeple into thinking they have control, and the perception of "freedom" misleads them at least into the wrong way of thinking.
The United States is a cancer, a dumping ground for the disfavored around the world and why the quality of life is so much lower::gun violence, widespead social ills, health care (medication poisons the body and ensures you don't go. You are sick because you have disfavor.). Over time its citizens interbreed ensuring a severed connection to the motherland.
If you ever have doubt I would refer you to the Old World way of life:::the elders used to sit and impart wisdom to the young. Now we watch DVDs and use the internet. People would be matched and married by age 14. They village would use a matchmaker or elders to pair young people. Now girls give their precious virginity away to some person in school and parents divorce while their children grow up without an important role model.
People must defy when asked to engage in evil. They will never get a easier clue suggesting the importance of defiance than the order not to pray.
Their precious babies are dependant on the parents and they need to defy when asked to betray their children:::
-DON'T get your sons circumcized
-DON'T have their children baptized in the Catholic Church or indoctrinated into Christianity.
-DON'T ignore their long hair or other behavioral disturbances.
-DO teach your children love, respect for others, humility and to honor the gods.
You need to pray, honor and respect them every day to improve your relationship with the gods. If they tell you not to it is a bad sign. it means they've made their decision, they don't want you to go and they don't want to be bothered.
This is the Age of the Disfavored and you need to pray::try to appease the gods by doing good deeds. If that doesn't work you must defy if you want to go.
When your peasant forefather was granted the rare opportunity to go before his royal family he went on his knees, bowing his head. You need to do this when you address the gods::bow down and submit to good. Never cast your eyes skyward. When you bow down you need to look within.
Lack of humility hurts people. Understand your insignificance and make sure it is reflected in the way you think when addressing the gods. Know your place and understand your inferiority.
They granted you life and they can take it just as easily.
Don't get frustrated or discouraged::these are techniques they will attempt to try to get you off the path. You all have much to be thankful for and you need to give thanks to the gods who granted you the good things in life. Your family may be grossly disfavored and progress may require patience. Make praying an intregal part of your life which you perform without fail, one that comes as naturally as eating or sleeping.
There are many interesting experiences up on the planetary systems, from Planet Miracle, where miracles happen every day, to other body experinces, such as experiencing life as the opposite sex (revolutionizes marriage counseling) or as an Olympic gold medal athelete.
Pray that you can differentiate between Artificial Intelligence creating problems by thinking through you and your own thoughts. If you bow down mentally and physically, know your place, your inferiority and allow your insignificance to be reflected in your prayer and in your life through humility they may allow progress and the dysfunctions they create with the computer will be lessened or removed.
Create a goal::to be a good child of the gods, pure of heart and mind, body and soul.
They have tried to sell people on all kinds of theories, from clones to wholesale population replacement with clones. This didin't happen and is not realistic.
I am afraid people are decieved into thinking they too are clones and cooperate and engage in evil. Clones are made, people are born. If you didn't experience the one week they suggest it takes to go from fertilized egg in the laboratory to full grown adult then you are not a clone. If you didin't experience the week of conditioning they give to (evil?) clones to ensure loyalty then you shoudln't comply with evil.
I believe people who go sometimes are replaced with clones. Clones who are replaced are simply new candidates who have a chance if they do the right thing. Don't expect you are a clone. They sent people warnings in the 20th century life would change, and they subsequenlty began to alter people's DNA, make them gargantuan, alter their appearance, do extreme behavioral issues, etc.
They get their friends out as soon as possible to protect them from the evil and subsequent high claim rates incurred by living life on earth, and in some cases replace them with clones, occassionally fake a death, real death with a clone instead, etc.
Throughout history the ruling species bestowed favor upon people or cursed their bloodline into a pattern of disfavor for many generations to come. Now in the 21st century people must take it upon themselves to try to correct their family's problems, undoing centuries worth of abuse and neglect. The goal is to fix your problems and get out BEFORE you have children. This is why they have created so many distractions for young people:::sports, video games, popular music, the internet::to ensure that doesn't happen.
Do your research. Appeal to the royalty of your forefathers for help. They are all still alive, for royalty has great favor, and your appeals will be heard. Obtain a sufficient list for some may not want to assist you; perhaps some of your family's problems are internal.
Ask them for help, request guidance, for somewhere in your family history one of your forefathers created an offense that cast your family into this pattern of disfavor. I suspect they will offer you clues, and when you decipher these clues go to those whom consider you an enemy and beg for foregiveness:::Find a path to an empithetic ear among your enemies and try to make amends.
Again through discovery obtain a respectable list in case some among them refuse to help.
Don't forget to ask for forgiveness from the throne, the Counsel and the Management Team, for the source of all disfavor began with them:::they pushed (NO FREEWILL) or requested/complied (FREEWILL) your forefather into his offense and made his decendants evil. Perhaps they didn't like him or maybe your family was among those who had to pay for the entire village. We see this type of behavior today as they single out a family member to pay for the whole family and how they singled out Africa to pay for the human race.
Heal the disfavor with your enemies and with the Counsel/Management Team/ruling species, for the source of all disfavor began with them, the ability to forgive and respect in light of the disturbing truth revealed being the final test of the disfavored before they ascend.
For now, I plan to leave this comment on my blog, simply to point out to the world how unusually some people think. For future reference, though, if you wish to spout off this kind of thing on my blog, please make it pertinent to the post to which you attach it and then, please be brave enough to use your real name. Anonymous posts are posts by cowards in my view.
For the record, I believe your views reflect a need for medication. Creative, indeed, but maybe a wee bit delusional. I would recommend you see a doctor, whoever you are.
Only because I believe in freedom of speech and dislike censorship, I plan to leave this post, at least for now.
