Teenage Jesus and the Jerks

Now onto serious matters...

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate...

I don't comprehend how everyone can simply miss Joseph of Arimathea. Most christians, both Catholic and Orthodox alike, do not know who he was and the "chosen" gospels try to make it difficult for people to know who he is - and actually try to make people think he is the Joseph of Joseph and Mary.

He, in reality, was a very wealthy man of the time - with great power as well. He gave the land to have the crucifiction, gave his tomb for Christ. It is strongly believed and is pointed out in several of the "chosen" and "non-chosen" gospels that even Mary didn't seem too distraut by the killing of her son. Jesus brothers are mentioned in one of the non-chosen ones as being allowed in after an argument with the guards of the property.

What does all this mean? Jesus didn't die on the cross. The "stab" wound was on the right side - no where near where a Roman soldier would know is an instant kill-spot. The "vinegar" given to him on the rag was in reality some form of "knock-out" drug which allowed him to simply appear to have died to the Jews who were allowed in to witness the proceedings.

J of A was also powerful enough to get the family out of the middle east via way of his shipping routes.

NOT A SERMON, JUST A THOUGHT!

Mars and the "planet x" theory

From the earliest times that I learned about the solar system, I always wondered why there'd be an astroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It didn't make sense, even to a young boy. Why would it happen there and nowhere else, why would debris form instead of even a tiny planet?

The theory I thought of, later found and liked was that there was another planet at that spot. It has been shown that if there was, and it was hit by an extra-solar object. The object was large enough to knock Uranus' axis on its side, and destory "Planet X" (I think of as Eden).

The destruction of Eden (Planet X) allegedly formed Mars, the Moon, and other satellites around the solar system. If this is true, then it could give validation to many tales from ancient civilizations in the world who state that we (humans) came from another "garden" and were cast out.

1) I cannot locate the website which showed the effects of a large object passing thru our solar system and the destruction of this planet.

2) This is not to say that I 100% believe in these stories; however, I cannot rule out some of the information that would give me reason to want to get more research about the topic.

Mars itself has interesting geology. Less than one half is mountainous with hard bedrock, etc near the surface of the dust / debris. The other portion is relatvely smooth as though from molten surface that later started to have mountains form and other events reshape it.

Oceans flowed across the entire planet very quickly leaving a layer of dust and debris over everything which is very deep in many area... (As Erin Kraal, et al recently published http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v451/n7181/abs/nature06615.html;jsessionid=9DA00EEC3F0600C59475579C9A3A2F24)

This was also reported in various other sources. The ocean / lakes had a salt content similar to those here on Earth which would have supported life... http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23250281-1702,00.html?from=public_rss http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23410914-1702,00.html?from=public_rss http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7302591.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7294767.stm

All of this is very interesting and leads to give credence to such people as the Enterprise Mission who have been putting forth these ideas for decades... http://www.enterprisemission.com/planet.htm Very geekie, but have several decent, thought provoking ideas!

"BLAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Said Tweek.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOMINEE

All delegats have the ability to switch their vote if they so choose for whatever reason.

I feel very strongly that they should all vote for a 3rd Person...

A few options:

• John Edwards
• Albert Gore
• Michael Moore
• Lewis Black

If we need a female, here are better choices:

• Patty Murry (Senator from Washington) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_Murray
• Debbie Stabenow (Senator from Michigan) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Stabenow
• Maxine Waters (HoR from California) - also of african decent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxine_Waters

Any which way it goes, the one nominated for P should pick Obama for VP.

BTW - Patty Murry did vote AGAINST going into Iraq:

"Mr. President, if we do take action in Iraq, there is no doubt that our armed forces will prevail. We will win a war with Iraq decisively, and, God willing, we will win it quickly. But what happens after the war? That will have as big an impact on our future peace and security. Will we be obligated to rebuild Iraq? If so, how? Our economy is reeling, our budget is in deficit, and we have no estimate of the cost of rebuilding. And with whom? As New York Times columnist Tom Friedman points out, there's a retail store mentality that suggests to some — if "you break it, you buy it."

Clinton and Karl Rove - Together for the Long Haul

Clinton is definatley a Karl Rove Republican.

Her tactics have slipped to his methods more and more. FEER mongering - Pushing to have a story become twisted (NAFTA and canada), having her peeps say stupid things about race (just to get it in the people's heads again), the list goes on.

She is handing the Dems over the Reps without a fight. She is causing more harm to the party than did the past 8 years of stupidity... They just need to make her move to the side and let this move forward. Dr. Evil - I mean Mr. McCain is already the nominee on the other side and has been using this time to earn more money for the fight against whomever is chosen. He is also memorizing all that is going on - on the dem size to use against them later.

Not that that will matter, because she's going to take this to court and we're not going to have a "dem" candidate before mid next year (a little late)... No matter what happens (unless she wins) will be good enough for her. She'll rule out the "3rd" type of delegate at the same time as relying upon the super delegates - Lady, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot say that the super ones are there for a reason, but the "3rd type" isn't needed and should be ignored. By that count, you should ignore both the supers and "3rd types" - what does that do - favors Obama anyway...

We had all year to fight for this, but let's really start to bring it up now 1/2 way thru March that there should be a redo in MI and FL. or that these should count anyway. Sorry, they broke the rules and knew last year that they wouldn't count. All candidates removed their names who signed the agreement except Clinton. She knew she could fall back on this if she needed to - so that's what she's doing now. She also waited till her numbers were up in those states to start the push for their delegates to be "seated." No-one said that they couldn't sit down at the convention - just that their votes wouldn't count because they circumvented the process to move their primaries / caucuses.

Florida kept Obama's name on the ballot stating that it wasn't filed in time - even though it was filed in plenty of time...

FL and MI just wanted to be important. I think FL is important enough to give to Cuba or back to Spain. Just get rid of them - they cause nothing but problems and give us nothing in return...

I am all for doing away with caucuses - get rid of this out dates system and all for getting rid of super delegates. But you cannot do so in the middle of the process just because WAH! it isn't going your way.

We need a candidate and we need one soon or else we're going to be left with Bushie "Jr." in office with a crazy trigger finger.

IRWIN "Zoo" broke law at least 13 times

When asked about it, the lawyer for the Irwins stated, "they hate it when you do that."

Anyway, it should be no big deal - the law in Queensland is that a koala should be re-released into the environment within 5km of where found. The issue I have with that law and the one the vets at the Irwin compound have is that if you find a koala by the side of a highway, hurt by impact with a car - why the he would you put the thing right back near the highway????

Oh well, the world and stupid laws.

OUTSOURSING OF JOBS - to the US!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7287640.stm

BMW is going to fire 8,100 people in Germany. Initially hire 500 in SC and then expand with more factories in the future... All this because it is cheaper to pay people in Dollars than in Euros. The Euro is at an all time high (again) against the weakest dollar seen in over 28 years... Thanks Bushie!

Way to get jobs to come here - make the economy so bad it's cheaper to send jobs here than keep them at home or send them to "3rd world countries"...

Israel to be tried for war crimes?

Don't worry - this will never happen... It would be like trying to bring the U.S. to the Hague to answer for our torturing of our enemies. It just won't happen. We're too much of an empire and Israel is our protectorate.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/14/2189504.htm
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/14/2189133.htm

Israel has a policy of genocide against the Palestinians ever since they were founded. Their parliment wants nothing more than to end their very existance. But if another group has a similar view of Israel they get bombed, attacked, and have UN resolutions brought against them. Luckily for Israel, they have the US to veto every - and I mean EVERY - act the UN has tried to cast against them.

The only people to welcome with open arms the jews from Germany during WW2 was Palestine. They said openly that they had a large area of land and that the jews were welcome to come into their country and live together around the holy lands of many groups. (as did, by the way, the Orthodox Christians well back to the begining of Orthodoxy - see side note below).

Shortly after their arrival, the Israelis were trying to found their own nation - to this, the Palestinians stated that they could take the unused half of the nation and they could share the holy cities. That wasn't good enough and Israel took over. The UN stepped in and stated that Jerusalem would be an UN city and that there would be two nations with clearly outlined boundaries. The world was great with the idea, especially after the US unilaterally stated that Israel was a nation and Palestine was no longer... The US vetoed this action outright.

At several other points over the years, peacekeepers were to be sent to monitor the situation and treaties, etc. We vetoed all of them - that way when someone threw a rock at a tank patrolling illegally in the Palestinian areas, the Israelis could say it was justified to invade and kill many.

Several times in the history, the Israelis have also invaded neighbors with little thought other than to kill off as many refugees as possible. To this day they invade the refugee camps throughout their "nation" and will not let the refugees leave certain camps, becuase (1) they are considered militants, (2) they would legally settle in lands that the jews want to illegally settle in, and (3) they would no longer be able to be considered a threat.

Shortly after the election of Hamas to the leadership of the Palestinians, they vowed to remove the "removal of Israel" statements from their policy and ideals. They also wanted to meet with Israel with open arms. All was well until last year the wall went up, and a few months ago Israel blockaded all shipments into and out of the Palestian territory. Medical, food, electrical power, fuel, everything was blockaded. Many suffered with no clear-cut reason given by the force that started the blockade...

Oh well, just a miniUS pushing their weight around.

Side Note: These Orthodox Christians fought against the invading Catholics, they fought against the Ottoman Empire and against the Romans. Today they consider themselves Palestinian-Israelis. To this day, the Christians in Israel are spat upon, and treated horribly - not as bad as the other Palestinians, but pretty bad. One has to remember that Arab leaders from all over attend the Christian services for holy days in the holy land and have done so for a thousand or more years. Jesus was more than a prophet to them - he was an attempt to see how the son of god would be treated if indeed he did come to the world - not very well. That is why Mohammad was sent to tell the world that there will be no coming of the son-of-god and that these are the steps necessary to make up for the "sins" and "slaughter."

Movies - why

I really don't understand what is going through movie makers' minds... The x-files is going to have a sequel movie. That show was over over 10 years ago when they jumped the shark!

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/03/12/bc-x-files.html?ref=rss

And with the Harry Potter movies, they're going to split the last one just to make sure that everyone has to pay more to see all of them - although it might be a good idea since the latest movies released pratically had nothing to do with the book - due to sacrifices made to make the thing fit into the alloted time...

Grand Inquisitor, I mean pope names 7 more deadly sins

The pope named 7 more deadly sins today because there weren't enough ways to scare people that they're going to hell...

'da new ones:
08) Polluting
09) Genetic Engineering
10) bing obscenely rich
11) drug dealing
12) abortion
13) paedophilia
14) "causing social injustice"

'da 'ld ones:
01) Luxuria - actually "extravagance" - much later changed to Lust (do to mistranslation!)
02) Gula - "gluttony"
03) Avaritia - "greed"
04) Acedia - "sloth" - originially "sadness" (dissatisfaction and/or discontent)
05) Ira - "wrath"
06) Invidia - "envy"
07) Superbia - "pride"

I still cannot get past the fact that he was the Grand Inquisitor...

The position was the Grand Inquisitor, then the Holy Office, and was known as the Perfect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It is still an office to ensure that everyone and anyone in the church HAD to follow doctrine (as stupid as it could be) NO MATTER WHAT THE COST!!!!

Remember that Galileo Galilei stood in front of the Holy Office...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregation_for_the_Doctrine_of_the_Faith

Oh well, I guess having a Nazi in this position was a great idea as he was able to apply items he learned in his youth all the way till today...

To quote Mr. Galilei, "and yet it moves!"

Biofuels are great - or are they.

Many new reports are coming out showing how in a race for biofuels, the industralized world maybe ruining the food-cycle.

If too much corn, soy bean, and other products are diverted away from food to the biofuel without plans to change or alter other crops accordingly, people will begin to starve - not only in "3rd world" areas but in the 1st and 2nd as well...

The biggest issue at hand is the US pressure to stay with the Corn-method. Growing corn takes up way too much space, and you get very little fuel out of the corn to make up for the volume of space needed to grow the crops. Soybeans and Sugar Cane are by far the best methods based on the amount of biofuel which can be created from volume of crop. The only places still researching (whole-heartedly) these two crops are: Brazil, China, and New Zealand.

The rest of the world is pushing for corn and more corn and more corn. Not good...

Olympic Green Games wants 3000 cars.

The first ever (or was to be) car-free Olympic games in London (2012) have been dashed... The Olympic committee is demanding 3,000+ chauffeur driven cars for the event.

So much for trying to save the environment.

Mars coverup?

I'm still annoyed that the following was put up on the BBC and removed within minutes (inserted text at the end of this post)... It isn't like such a real news organization to remove anything. They would typically leave the link and have something stating that an error was made and why the original posting was removed. I guess we'll never know how deep the control runs at nasa.

It is really ashame becuase nasa is spending billions and billions (there's the Carl Sagan ghost again) of TAXPAYERS' money to investigate many things including these areas only to give false photos (doctored) or no images (just links to all black) when they could easily end the babble on both sides of the argument by simply posting the actual photos that were taken live... NASA was set-up for the people as a non-miliatary, non-intelligence agency, although it has always been run by former or current CIA, DIA, NSA.

There have been many issues lately that leave questions unanswered. Most notably this:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3232035.ece

The Times refers to the "Times of London." One of the oldest, most notable news organizations in the world... And they ran this... Clearly looks like it could be a humanoid figure... There were others where fossils were seen in the photos and nasa ground them up without taking closer images or running any additional tests...

I am not a conspiracy buff or nut, but come'on now - like I said it can be clearly ended by not holding back the photos for months and by actually puting the original images online without editing.

Hillary, the cry-baby, gets a good woman to step down

FOR TELLING THE TRUTH!

http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0307/uselection.html?rss

They are the campaign that would stoop to ANY level in order to win. They're even ready to sabotage the entire democratic party chances by trying to defeat Obama. For one example, McCain is a much better person to be President than Obama... They've used FEARmongering almost all the time now...

The Clinton campaign is burning more bridges than Sherman in Georgia and this will come back to haunt the party for many years to come.

BTW - she "won" in Texas because of the Republicans pushing to have their minions vote for her instead of giving votes to McCain who had already won. So she is the choice of the Republicans, acts like a Republican, and is doing shady Republicanesque things...

What's that thing about a duck? "quack" said the Clinton campaign...

Hillary the b!tch.

Hillary used the story reversed to win in OH - but if I were in OH, I would DEMAND a revote and would never trust this b!tch again.

http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/080306/w0306117A.html

She is so Republican it isn't even funny - FEARmongering, using reversed news stories, and deception are now par for the course. But hey, if any democrat even looked at what she's said on the floor of the Senate, they would have never even given her ONE vote let alone have her as the "change" candidate.

She's voted for nearly all of the items that Bushie wants - whether it be right away or with minor tweaking...

Women much worse off in Iraq now than Saddam Days

The headlines in many news outlets world-wide are telling the same fate of women in Iraq now that Saddam is out of power. There is nothing to prevent others from harming women in the country now - wether due to archane practices or just plain dumb-arse activities. At least under saddam there was a level of "they're property"...

Oh well, guess that is par for the course in becoming a "democracy" anymore.

Ah, a real candy / food company. I would much rather work for them than for stinking Hershey's anyday. I have hated Hershey for many years. They keep thinking that they're bigger than any other candy company in the world. Well maybe with on product, but Nestle has every product imaginable - and look at the views - those are 12 story buildings over looking a lake in the Swiss Alps - I'd much rather go there than to a theme park!

Oh well! Hershey's didn't want Mari - than good - they can sit in that little crap town and think delusions of grandure.

Porsche to buy VW

Porsche's Board of Directors has voted to go ahead and buy the majority ownership in VW! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7275703.stm

Morgan's Garage about to make comeback???

We all know them as MG's - Morgan's Garage. They're still around, allbeit not like they were. With the announcement today of a super-car powered by hydrogen fuel, they may make a comeback. There are many Ferrari and Lamborgini people who would love to have something "green" and pretentious.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7265267.stm

Therefore MG gives you the ... Lifecar. Name sucks but it rocks... Nothing but water vapor coming from the exhaust...

They should look into the way BMW gets around the splitting of H2O into H2 and O2... They use the vast areas of landfills in Germany and the South to harness energy - to the point where their factories in Alabama actually use so little of the energy from the nearby landfills which BMW bought the "air-rights" to, that many of the cities in northern Alabama are using this power all year round. Burning of landfill gases gives off HNO3, O3, and other Hydrocarbons. These are then used to generate H2, and O2 and Carbon dust which in Germany they've been using at "regular" power plants as lubricant...

Naturally if you want one of BMW's H2 powered cars, y'll have to buy a 750HL. Not cheap and they aren't imported here either...

Germany and Cars - Side note

Daimler-Chrysler is owned by several large groups, the more interesting ones are:
1) Kuwait owns 10% outright
2) Deutsche Bank owns 5% - to block Kuwait from getting a larger stake
3) UAE with 2%

The Deutsche Bank purchase also allowed the other German companies to step up and purchase stock easier and quicker. Similar to US there is a SEC which would have blocked such actions without the state bank stepping up and saying - let this happen.

Currently Daimler-Chrysler has two large German share holders (combined owning 37%) - BMW and VW. If DC were to be disolved, the following breakdown of their company portions would most likely occur. The breakup is in the stars and will most likely occur sooner than later.

1) BMW - if DC is disolved, BMW wants McLaren Group (exotic sports cars), Smart (hybrid and alternate fuels cars), Mercedes-AMG, Chrysler, Freightliner (trucks), Thomas Built (trucks buses), and Sterling Trucks. They'd also push for the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation (canadian leader in fuel cell research / development).

2) VW - if DC is disolved, VW wants the Maybach (mercedes answer to rolls-royce), Mercedes, Mitzubishi Fuso (trucks), Western Star (Trucks), MB Buses, Orion Buses, and Setra Buses.

3) Airbus would dissolve back into EADS - European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (their parent).

4) Deutsche Bank would probably end up with MB Financial, MB Bank, and Daimler Truch Financing.

VW buys Scania - VW to be bought by Porsche?

Volkswagen just purchased the largest lorry (truck) manufacturer Scania - which are seen almost everywhere anymore. This adds to their already huge portfolio of company ownership (see below). At about the same time this was announced, Porsche announced a take-over bid for VW. Porsche wants to get into the "regular" auto market but doesn't want to fork out the billions and billions (who let Carl Sagan in here) to start up a new facility.

I find it intereting that the child is about to buy the parent. In the 30's, Prof. Porsche designed for VW. He came up with such silly designs as the Beetle. C.1931, he then started his own company using a stream-lined and much more powerful version of the Beetle. Porsche was born...

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23316155-1702,00.html?from=public_rss

What does this mean for all involved... It means that Porsche will own the worlds 4th largest automotive company (after Toyota, GM, and Ford). The biggest thing is a huge shake-up / shake-down at VW. I'm nearly 99.999% sure that if Porsche wins, the idiots at the helm would be fired and VW will once again start being the best manufactuer. They're still the largest European company by far, but they'ven't been the best in decades.

FYI - currently VW owns:
1) Audi (Germany)
2) Skoda (Czech)
3) Seat (Spain)
4) Bentley (GB)
5) Lamborghini (Italy)
6) Bugatti (Italy)
7) Large ownership of Daimler-Chrysler
8) Man AG (Germany) - heavy trucks, equipment

Jagger to have been Assassinated by Hells' Angles!

Interesting little news story poped up today...
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2008/03/02/jagger-hellsangels-plot.html?ref=rss

How much would that have sucked???

Did you ever...

Did you ever notice just how fast the economy has fallen since the Bushie regime is about to fall into the pit of death??? Really makes me sick how far the Reaganomics has been pushed to the extreme... The difference between the far rich and the far poor has grown past the Great Depression Era levels and will only continue.

Bushie is crushing the economy now so he can point out that it was the Democrats fault - when they take office...
