Rain is God’s Urination.

Snow is God’s Dandruff.

The issue of the rights of homosexuals and the lack of rights of the heterosexual — for example, forced abortion and forced sterialization as “population control” measures — seems inextricably liked. The same individuals who would have our children indoctrinated with the notion that homosexuality is an alternative life-style, rather than a perversion, would use every other device in the book to limit population growth, including forced sterialization.

Who wrote that and where did it appear? Here’s a hint. It appeared in the same place as this:

The subversion of our young people by Satanic Cults is occurring on a far greater scale than most people are willing to believe. One morning, a parent wakes up to find that his child, or his neighbor’s child, has been murdered, the victim of some local peer-group-based Satanic Cult activity — or committed suicide while involved in role playing during some magical satanic cult activity. The shock to the parent is much, much greater than seeing his child become convulsive under the influence of illegal drugs. The numbing shock is that he really did not know anything about the depths of that child’s mind. That child and his peers are victims of an alien Satanic culture.

[…] One such game, Dungeons and Dragons, is a medieval fantasy role playing game, in which the fantasy character played by the adolescent indulges in murder, pillage, arson, and rape over a prolonged period (six months to a year is typical). Over such a period, with the behavioral reinforcements written into the game, the typical adolescent may become so wrapped up in the game that he loses touch with reality.

I do not expect you to know the answer, in large part because it is someone rather obscure. But the obscure person is in service with a more known person, who appears later in the same publication. Also, I half expect this all to be plagarized from another source anyway — at any rate, whole ideas and concepts ripped out and placed here.

With the faddish popularity of Anton LeVey, who played the devil in the movie Rosemary’s Baby, established the Church of Satan in San Francisco

Quick aside. I have seen Portland’s Church of Satan head, Rex Diablo, walking around the city on about three occasions. I don’t know what to do when I see him. He’s fairly conspicuous, what with Devil Horns implanted into his forehead. I smile and nod. He smiles back, or doesn’t. What else can I say?

and published The Satanist Bible; with the popularity of “heavy metal” rock groups which utilize both overt and backward masked lyrics to involve alienated youth in Satanic activities, and with the increasing popularity of games like Dungeons and Dragons, the WICCA-type underground network of Satanic “churches” has been expanding rapidly in this country. Scores of children, that fortunate tiny percentage that actually survived the experience, have reported to authorities that they were sexually abused and forced through rituals involving the drinking of human blood, cannibalism, and the sacrificial murder of other children.

I swear this book was promoted by Jack T Chick Productions.
The Satanist conspiracy which has insiduously working to destroy our culture, and has used our schools for this purpose, would rather see a Nazi-Communist world takeover Nazi-Communists? , than allow science and industry to flourish, because they despise our Judeo-Christian tradition.

Final hint: the solution to our educational dilemmas is to promote, in our schools — currently incubators of this Satanic Culture and Homosexual training grounds — the Creation of Martian Colonies — which will inspire hope in our youth to advance forward… to a new epoch… and will provide us with all the technology we will need for this next century… and on and on.

There. I gave the answer away.

I imagine Ronl Paul to be the Republican 2008 equivalent of the Democratic 2004 Dennis Kucinich. Reportedly, one might walk past Dennis Kucinich’s Portland campaign headquarets and hear an all night burner, Bob Marley and a drum circle, whiffs of marijuana blowing out, nobody really accomplishing anything per se but in the midst of a political cause nonetheless. Picture Ron Paul’s campaign with some Ayn Rand recording
in place of Bob Marley, discussions merging from the tyranny of the United Nations to the War of Southern Aggression and how Lincoln paved the way to continued government consolidation.

The rankers of such thing tend to have Paul as right about 50-50 on the liberal – conservative rankings. This is the necessary limitations of a ranking that would, for instance, toss Paul liberal points for voting against a budget cut on Head-Start, when Paul’s reason for voting ‘no’ is that the program shouldn’t exist in the first place — not prescribed in the Constitution. He’s also as pure an anti-war candidate as you will find anywhere, tossing the additional loop in there that he never has said a good word about the current Republican President.

Can Paul be denied from the debates? He’s not likely to endorse or support the eventual nominee — McCain, Romney, Brownback (wait — do I actually think Brownback might be the nominee? In lieu of anyone else acceptable to your Social Conservative, yes.) I think he’s the obvious choice for the Libertarian Party to pluck right out of the burners of the Republican primary season and show themselves a better profile than possible with anyone else. Mockingly, I say the Libertarian Party could have Paul as their Fusion candidate. Back to the Kucinich comparison, in 2004 John Hagelin, the 2000 and 1996 and probably 1992 Presidential candidate for the now defunct Natural Law Party had Kucinich as the end point for a Democratic — Natural Law fusion ticket. Not going to happen, of course, as Kucinich was never going to be nominated president. (The Natural Law Party loved fusions, such as their 2000 delapidation of the Reform Party.)
Maybe the Republican Party could shove him out of the debates unless he agrees to support the eventual Republican nominee, and not run on any third party ticket. There were 2 elected Democrats shoved out in such a manner in 1992 — a minor city mayor, who did end up in a debate but was then unceremoniously framed out of the AP photo — and Eugene
McCarthy — and Mike McGavick is 2008’s version of McCarthy 1992. (Incidentally, McCarthy in 1992 ran against George Bush the elder’s speech patterns. Go check back and you’ll see!) I’d think, however, the Republican Party would much prefer to frame out Tom Toncredo — and their framing outs bullets are perhaps limited.

Here’s a question. Is it better for Ron Paul to have a speaking slot at the Republican convention or run a campaign as a Libertarian Party candidate? A platform is what Ron Paul’s campaign is about. Ron Paul denies that, but I don’t believe him. I have think about that question for a minute before answering it, because I don’t immediately know the
answer.

No Comment.

Barbara Boxer, to Condelleza Rice:  Who pays the price? I’m not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young.  You’re not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families.

This is interesting.  It’s a faux-outrage, but even the faux-outrage I find fascinating in showing cultural divisions of attitude.  See, I would skip right past that and not make a mental note.  But, to conservative bloggers and columnists the reaction is: “How dare you call Condi a Spinster!”

Culturally, I’m beyond that.  They’re not.  That’s all I have to say about that.

Did anybody notice that the US raided an Iranian embassy in Iraq last week?

U.S. forces in Iraq raided Iran’s consulate in the northern city of Arbil and detained five staff members, a state-run Iranian news service said.

Coalition forces arrested six people during “routine security operations” in the Arbil area, the U.S. military said in an e-mailed statement. The military didn’t confirm that the consulate was raided and didn’t say whether any of those detained were Iranians. 

That does the Iran Hostage Crisis of Carter’s presidency one better — ’tis the military and not those revoultionary minded.

The effect is startling.  It revives the “we’re going into Iran” talk that has been peddled by the Greg Palasts and Scott Ritters of the world — always with a certain date that come and go — the idea being we’re trying to provoke the “Gulf of Tonkin”, “Sinking of the Maine”, (shrug) “Pearl Habor-like Event” once again.  To surge another way.  Dualistically, I suppose.

Abondoned and tossed right next to a garbage can — in front of a convenience store — and by way of telling the precise location, at the end of the Yellow Max line — one package still tied together uncut from its yellow string, the other cut but untouched — there last night and still there this morning…

The two latest LaRouche pamphlets.  Supposedly $5, but there, as they always seem to be whenever the LaRouchites hover on over and take up shop — for the taking.  And if you really want it, you can have a hundred.  (I never quite get this part of the fund-raising part of the LaRouche syndicate.  Even though I understand it has never been a major part of it, it still strikes me as an incredible loss-leader.)

I have a mental picture of the paperback greeting “If you purchased this book without a cover…”, and this as the LaRouche version of that.  Unsold, they are discarded.  Since this is an evangelism movement, they are offered for anyone who cares to have one.  (At previous times, I’ve seen them left at the cut-off section at Borders.)  I assume this means that this is the end of the LaRouchite stint of keeping a card-table, and they’re onto other things.

I picked up neither pamphlet.  An umpteenth “LaRouche Economic Address” promising a plan that will get us out of the economic depression of ’06 and onto the glorious future of ’07.  The other was titled “The End of the Truman Era” — which I imagine fits into LaRouche’s current infatuation with FDR — ie: Truman betrayed the Roosevelt legacy and set up the systems that have destroyed our economy, and LaRouche’s Economic Program promises to take us back to the Roosevelt Legacy.  I suspect he is eking out his Communist past with that one — which is that Communists made up the lefter-most part of Roosevelt’s coalition, and generally accepted him — however mildly — in a “Popular Front” position — and Truman was just a boss’s politician — the Senator and then President from Pendegrast.  But maybe that would be giving the man too much credit, and really he’s just trying to evoke mainstream Democrats who don’t like the DLC.

What I want to know is — is Truman one of the “Beastman”s of “Children of Satan” fame?  I guess I’d just have to read the pamphlet to find out.  And I’m not going to do that.

During my life in Portland, I have either lived in David Wu’s district or in Earl Blumenhauer’s district.  I’ve come to regard David Wu as the least of Oregon’s five Representatives, someone who remains rather anonymous within a class of 435, while the other four have managed to attach themselves to pet issues.  But David Wu finally made some headlines with this speech:

“Now, this President has listened to some people, the so-called Vulcans in the White House, the ideologues. But unlike the Vulcans of Star Trek, who made the decisions based on logic and fact, these guys make it on ideology. These aren’t Vulcans. There are Klingons in the White House. But unlike the real Klingons of Star Trek, these Klingons have never fought a battle of their own.”

“Don’t led faux Klingons send real Americans to war. It is wrong.”

Combine this to Rick Santorum’s defense of the Iraq War by making Lord of the Rings Reference, and I have to now declare a moratorium of politicians attempting to make policy points with Science Fiction references.

The “Vulcans” in the context of the Bush Administration is popularized in the book Rise of the Vulcans, and apparently was a self-given nickname by Cheney — Rumsfeld — Powell — Wolfowitz — Rice — Armitage, etc.

I’m tempted to say that Wu has a point, but he really doesn’t.  Unlike the Real Klingons — which there aren’t any real Klingons because Star Trek is a work of fiction — these faux Klingons — who are Vulcans but are unlike the Vulcans you see on Star Trek — are chicken-hawks and avoided fighting the Vietnam War — which, best as I can tell, nobody on Star Trek fought either.  It becomes all so convoluted.

I don’t know if I want the real Klingons to send Americans to war, either.

Today in the Oregonian there is a story about a 200 pound cat who ended up stuck in a woman’s dog door.  Yesterday we had a story about a newborn baby abondoned at a nursing home.  And before these we still have the story about the dog jumping on the bus.

What the three have in common is that they are all going to receive a huge amount of would-be suitors due to their publicity, more than the anonymous orphaned cat, dog, or baby who lacks the back-story.  (Well, I believe babies are pretty easily adopted commiserated with the age — ie: teenagers aren’t; babies are.)  No amount of Patrick McDonnel annual message weeks about adopting pets is going to stop the fact that the majority will be put to death.  I am reminded of the story of the four-ear cat, (I think I’ll name it “Four – Eyes”) and the curious statement that they’re “looking for somebody to adopt it who will not make a special deal of the cat’s extra ears.”  I found that bemusing, because the very reason the cat was absolutely certain to be adopted was it received news coverage due to its extra ears.  Do the cat’s owners scratch behind the extra two ears, I wonder, or does that violate that there “No Freak Show” rule?

Namewise, the temporary caretakers are failing us.  The cat is named “Goliath” — because it’s fat, you see.  I once named my mother’s first grade classroom’s pet goldfish “Fluffy” — named when the class latched onto the name.  I don’t know what I would name the cat.  I do know that the baby is better named “Kathleen” or something innocuous — one would hope that her abondonment at birth would not be the defining trait of her life, hence “Hope” is a stupid name.  (You can more easily get away with such for dogs and cats.  Hence, I believe the dog should be named “Hitch”.)
