Shut up

I'm sure there are some who long for yesteryear...

...but the days when it was easy to make a negress shut up are long gone.

hallelujia!

hope you all enjoyed the black visualization exercise I suggested

Liberal Democrats are Racists

I hate the things liberals say about people like Ed Jones and Willie Breazell...

...accused of being Uncle Toms and puppets for white masters

-- their penalty for refusing to subscribe to the liberal party line.

Well, in a truly progressive world it should come as no surprise

that we are not homogenous;

blacks neither look all alike nor think all alike -- 

indeed, we humans are all individuals.

So often liberals are racists and hypocrites.

As Black History Month comes to a close,

here's a shout-out to all conservative-minded black folk.

Chorus:
90% of all blacks vote Democrat - why? Most of us say we won't vote Republican before that day - we'll die. By telling them we're theirs to keep - not right. We're allowin them to own us cheap - Dem lights. What you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist- what you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist- what you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist- what you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist.

VERSE 1:
With their laws and their lies, the re-enslave us.
Livin in the inner city and ridin the bus is the Liberal Democrat's vision for us, a Liberal party you can't trust
Our Black Founding Fathers played a part too, white's gave them guns to free me and you
We won and took our guns, 200 years pass, they've got gun control again on our ass
With violent criminals and cops who can't defend, gotta protect our people, with gun control, freedom ends.
Oppose school vouchers to strenghten their hold, this left wing agenda leaves us out in the cold

VERSE 2:
Liberal Democrats and teachers bound at the hip, this liberal control of education makes our minds sick
School vouchers will give us a choice and let us decide on how to educate our kids where the opportunity lies
White Democrats oppose school vouchers to ensure their own power, they fear educated blacks who wil be smarter by the hour
Politicians and hypocrites they must be, social elitists we've exposed them, and now we all see
Liveral Democrats step aside and let us be great, let us decide our own fate

VERSE 3:
Liberal Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, former Klansman this has got to be heard
With crocodile tears he says he's sorry, it's just another lie, it's just another story
They want us to believe that Byrd is the first, but we know better, FDR was the worst
He appointed a Klansman to the US Supreme Court Bench, another hooded Democrat- can't stand the stench
Southern Democrats bonded with the Klan cuz for the black man, they had their own plan
The truth that's got me thinkin and it's gottem all freakin, the Republican who freed us was Abraham Lincoln
Liberal Democrats, who need our vote, listen up, we've voiced our opinion but that's not enough
You're in Kosovo and not Rwanda or Sudan, your taxes hold back the successful black man
Stop trapping us in by preventing Urban Sprawl, had enough of your control had enough of you all
More cops and camer's you say are good, but it only takes away more freedom from the hood
You can't re-enslave us, we are too strong, we know what you're doing, and we know that it's wrong
Stop stealing our rights and stop interfering, this is our last warning, don't be hard or hearing

90% of all blacks vote Democrat - why? Most of us say we won't vote Republican before that day - we'll die. By telling them we're theirs to keep - not right. We're allowin them to own us cheap - Dem lights. What you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist- what you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist- what you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist- what you say, what you say? Liberal Democrats are racist.

Jammin I

re-run from last yearHere's the first half of the jamming black artists...Happy Black History Month!

Partners in Divine

A long, long time ago, I watched an episode of "Happy Days" when Richie Cunningham ended up in a bar with beret-wearing beatniks, playing drums and snapping their fingers instead of applauding.  It made me laugh.  

I asked my mom then, "What's a beatnik?"

She answered, "Een overjaarige nosum."   Translation:  an over-aged, or out-dated hippie.

I was reminded of that episode as I watched the following.

!!! Mitch for Mayor !!!

First of all, I sure do wish I was in attendance at the mayoral candidate debate; I saw Tom Strand, Mike Merrifield and a few others who slip my mind at the moment...but the atmosphere seemed a little electric, even out here in TeeVee Land.  A big thanks to the parties that helped air the live broadcast.

As far as answers given, I'm with MITCH CHRISTIANSEN ALL THE WAY...particularly with regard to SDS, Memorial Hospital, and issues of "inclusion."

No one else even came close.

Listening to Richard Skorman was like listening to Shannon Sharpe...somehow, akin to being struck about the head and shoulders with a Nerf bat.  He also seemed the polar opposite of Christiansen...

Anyway...his answers resounded deep within me...MITCH FOR MAYOR sez me.

Never promised you a democracy

Lately, I've noticed that a big deal is being made over "free and democratic elections"...and "fighting for democracy"...and I've definitely noticed more and more people making the claim that the United States of America is a democracy.

But we're not; we're actually a republic.  An explanation of the differences between the one and the other follows below...but it might be good to remember that our founding fathers never promised you a democracy.

Is the United States a democracy?

The Pledge of Allegiance includes the phrase: "and to the republic for which it stands." Is the United States of America a republic? I always thought it was a democracy? What's the difference between the two?

The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. A republic, on the other hand, is a system in which the people choose representatives who, in turn, make policy decisions on their behalf. The Framers of the Constitution were altogether fearful of pure democracy. Everything they read and studied taught them that pure democracies "have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths" (Federalist No. 10).

By popular usage, however, the word "democracy" come to mean a form of government in which the government derives its power from the people and is accountable to them for the use of that power. In this sense the United States might accurately be called a democracy. However, there are examples of "pure democracy" at work in the United States today that would probably trouble the Framers of the Constitution if they were still alive to see them. Many states allow for policy questions to be decided directly by the people by voting on ballot initiatives or referendums. (Initiatives originate with, or are initiated by, the people while referendums originate with, or are referred to the people by, a state's legislative body.) That the Constitution does not provide for national ballot initiatives or referendums is indicative of the Framers' opposition to such mechanisms. They were not confident that the people had the time, wisdom or level-headedness to make complex decisions, such as those that are often presented on ballots on election day.

Writing of the merits of a republican or representative form of government, James Madison observed that one of the most important differences between a democracy and a republic is "the delegation of the government [in a republic] to a small number of citizens elected by the rest." The primary effect of such a scheme, Madison continued, was to:

. . . refine and enlarge the public views by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the same purpose (Federalist No. 10).

Later, Madison elaborated on the importance of "refining and enlarging the public views" through a scheme of representation:

There are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice and truth can regain their authority over the public mind(Federalist No. 63).

In the strictest sense of the word, the system of government established by the Constitution was never intended to be a "democracy." This is evident not only in the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance but in the Constitution itself which declares that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" (Article IV, Section 4). Moreover, the scheme of representation and the various mechanisms for selecting representatives established by the Constitution were clearly intended to produce a republic, not a democracy.

To the extent that the United States of America has moved away from its republican roots and become more "democratic," it has strayed from the intentions of the Constitution's authors. Whether or not the trend toward more direct democracy would be smiled upon by the Framers depends on the answer to another question. Are the American people today sufficiently better informed and otherwise equipped to be wise and prudent democratic citizens than were American citizens in the late 1700s? By all accounts, the answer to this second question is an emphatic "no."

Innovation gap

I wish I could find something more substantive for us all to look at and help give us a better understanding of what's meant by "innovation"...but here are four videos which purport to tell the innovation story, as seen from the elementary school, middle school, high school, and teacher levels. 

Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon and the Gay Samoans

By Sandy Rios

”If education were a product we would be suing,” wrote the mother of a 2010 high school graduate. Her e-mail was so eloquent, it warrants no editing:

“Today I asked my son what country Napoleon was from. He said Rome.

He just finished 12 years of public schooling in what has been called one of the top high schools in the nation. Although he’s not a bookworm, he is a decent student. He has better than a B average.

He doesn’t know which country Napoleon was from – let alone what he did. I don’t think he was sick that day.

On the other hand, I’m going through his Social Study papers and see that he did learn that homosexual men in Samoa may perpetuate gay genes by being good uncles…

Twelve years. If education were a product we would be suing.”

But the suit would likely be lost. Reason left the classroom and the courts long ago. And homosexual apologetics have been promoted so aggressively through the National Education Association, that faculty or staff dare not express an objection. Public school hallways display rainbows and trumpet Gay Pride and Days of Silence, while renderings of the Ten commandments are forbidden. In Deerfield, Illinois, a required Freshman orientation class features gay, straight, lesbian and bi-sexual students telling 14 year olds the ins and outs of homosexual sex with their young audience strictly forbidden to tell their parents. In schools across the nation homosexuality is taught in every discipline from the use of math word problems related to same gender sex to the science of non-existent gay genes to history claiming Abraham Lincoln had a love affair with his law partner, Billy Herndon.

In Alabama an entire prom was cancelled because a lesbian student was not allowed to bring her girlfriend. And in that rare case where homosexual students aren’t allowed to bring their partners to proms, local houses of worship are hosting gay proms in church basements.

Massachusetts, Vermont and California have blazed the trail on these matters…providing co-ed bathrooms in schools and allowing students even in some grade schools to alter their gender if so led.

After the legalization of Civil Unions in Vermont, Outright Vermont, a homosexual advocacy organization hosted a weekend seminar funded by tax dollars that taught middle schoolers about a violent homosexual act called “fisting” and girls how to remove healthy breasts if they preferred to be boys…complete with photos and live demonstrations.

In California, a group called “Gender Spectrum” recently sent out a flyer to announce a conference to students 13-18:

Come join other transgender, gender bending, gender noncomforming teens, children and families for three days of celebrating individuality, making new friends and having fun. Meet other trans and gender nonconforming teens and adults, hang out, and explore different topics on gender: school, making friends, dating.

Montana has joined the gay chorus…with a newly proposed sex curriculum to begin in kindergarten so that little Montanans can know about all the ways to have sex with anyone in any combination. Then State Senator Barack Obama advocated the same in Illinois, but was defeated.

It IS that bad. And deny it all they want, parents are beginning to realize what the concerned mom above discovered in despair: Children aren’t learning how to read, spell or punctuate. They don’t know the nation’s history…its leaders or its constitution…nor anything about the God of their fathers, but they do know about homosexual sex.

And when they get to college, there will be no one to tell them otherwise. Consider the case of University of Illinois professor Ken Howell who was just fired after nine years of teaching “Introduction to Catholicism” for writing an e-mail to students explaining that Catholic Teaching on homosexuality derives itself from moral law. A student forwarded the e-mail to the head of the Religion Department and Howell was removed from the faculty for “violating university standards of inclusivity.” A Catholic fired for actually believing and teaching Catholic doctrine on homosexuality in a class on Catholicism.

So what are we to do? Get tough. Take a stand. Make the hard choices. Speak up and take your licks. The sexual anarchists are free to practice their anarchy, but they cannot have our kids. Any government that promotes or says they can and bars parents from their rightful influence must be opposed fiercely.

Fellow angry citizens: Let’s get busy. Let’s move our kids to private schools…private cooperatives…homeschool them. The public school must either clean up its act or risk losing its power. The radicalism in Providence, Massachusetts, for example has resulted in such a reduced student population, they are closing their high school doors. Good.

We send our children to school to learn the great disciplines of English, history, math, and science...presented factually and diligently. We don’t send them to be turned over to sexual activists willing to sacrifice their young minds to achieve their own narrow agenda.

Away with the gay Samoans and up with Napoleon!

• Demonstrate that they have partnerships with the private sector that will provide matching funds.

Applicants will submit proposals to one of three categories: "Scale-up", "Validation"; or "Development." The level of evidence supporting the idea will determine which category is most appropriate.

Timing of Applications and Awards:

The Department of Education anticipates accepting applications in early 2010, with all applications due in early spring of 2010. The department will obligate all i3 funding by September 30, 2010.

Trojan Horse

re-run from last July

A disquieted wind rushes through me

I close my eyes, inhale deeply
I exhale slowly and open my eyes

Thinking of things He brings me to wonder

Finding the things He asks me to seek

Putting in words evil secrets unspoken

The ink from my sword cause the pages to bleed

Okay.  So of course I haven't stopped thinking about the fountain.

Starting with the newest discoveries:

Researchers create a 3D display by projecting onto dripping water
07/02/2010 
Researchers have created a new 3D "volumetric" display (i.e., true-3D with actual depth).  The 'screen' is actually 4 waterfalls -- made by water dripping from tiny steel needles.  Each such waterfall displays a 50x60' image projected onto it, using a single projector that quickly switches between images for each layer.  

O.K., so consider how a droplet of water on your fingertip magnifies your fingerprint; so, probably whatever image is displayed on such a water screen would be similarly magnified...even *huge*.   I mean...what if something was being projected onto the fountain from Pikes Peak; we're talking about ENORMOUS.

Just in case you didn't know, America the Beautiful Park *is* set up to present movies; "Summer Movies in the Park" was an event that was held for several years.   






If you go down to the park and enter it from in between the two obelisks (the snake eyes), you'll notice these two, raised bushy areas.  For some reason, they struck me as curious, and when I took a closer look, I saw what appeared to be sound and lighting equipment.  Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that a lot of the "greenery" in the park is fake, and concealing audio/visual equipment.


I have indicated the buildings that would most likely house a projector.




If you actually follow my blog, you know that I have described four "God" dreams -- miraculous dreams I had in the year 2000, which I described in detail in Two: Illustration, and Becoming Spydra, and which brought my life as an atheist to an immediate and permanent end.


Well, there were three other “God” dreams I had; I didn't realize then how prophetic they would be now...and they have done MUCH to reinforce my faith, and wonder, and awe in God; they have done MUCH to further render unshakable my own belief in the veracity of what God has revealed to me.

One dream occurred the night before September 11, 2001, which will be its own, shortly upcoming post.


The two others occurred during the summer of 2004.  Here is the first; the other will also be its own post:

I was in a car, driving north on I-25 rounding the bend by Motor City, when I heard an incredibly loud male voice; it was not a shouting voice, but very, very loud, and seeming to emanate from behind the mountains.  I remembered thinking that everyone in the county had to have been able to hear the voice.

The voice began to intone biblical chapters and verse; I don’t remember precisely what the scriptures were, but for example, “KINGS 17:10….1 CORINTHIANS 38:9…JUDGES 5:27…”

My math phobia jumping to the forefront of my mind, I remember thinking, “Oh my God, I’m having a God dream; I’ll never remember all of those numbers!”

At that point, the voice suddenly said “SAUL.” 

I said, “Sal?”

The voice said, “NOT SAL; SAUL.”

I said, “Salt?”

Came again the voice, “NOT SALT…SAUL.”

And then I woke up.

Well, just in case you didn’t know, the I-25/Motor City bend is where the southern-most point of the Conejos District once stood –- the neighborhood that was demolished in order to erect America the Beautiful Park.   And the loudness of the sound...just makes me think very much of the Open Air Cinema equipment that is part and parcel of the park.  

The I-25/Motor City bend is what would comprise the eyebrow of Horus' dark eye, i.e. the Drake Power Plant.

I'm telling you about that dream now because of the coincidence of two recent events:  the total solar eclipse -- an event that is plainly depicted on the dragon's crown of my plate -- and the release of the movie "Salt"


I'll break it all down more minutely in an upcoming post.


My lucky number is 22, and The Book of Revelations is the only one with exactly 22 chapters...so I studied it especially. It is the final book of the Bible, written by a man who claimed -- just as I -- to have dreamed about the "end times" which were revealed to him by a giant angel.  

Revelation 13:13.


13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 

¹⁴Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. 

For those of you vociferous anti-Bible-ists, the story of the Trojan Horse dawned upon me.  As you may recall, this is the story of how the Greeks presented the Trojans with a gift -- an enormous sculpture of a horse, that unbeknownst to the Trojans was hollow; and contained a battalion of Greek soldiers.  


Believing the sculpture to be a peace offering from the Greeks, the Trojans brought the sculpture into their city gates, and, believing that the war was over, partied like it was 1999.  The sated Trojans passed out...and then by the light of the moon, the Greeks quietly crept out from the sculpture, opened up the city gates to a waiting Greek battalion, and together sacked the city of Troy.  

I've already told you that the urban renewal site in which America the Beautiful Park stands is slated to one day become a development known as "City Gate."  Further, and as always, I recently found the ubiquitous Jan Tanner link in that the City of Naples, Florida -- across the pond from  her Inflated Dough partner Mark Tanner's beach compound -- ALSO has a planned development called "City Gate."  Strangely enough, Naples is also home to a company called DPMD, LLC -- a company identically named as the DPMD, LLC that the Tanners voluntarily dissolved three days after I publicized Jan's undisclosed, no-bid, multi-million dollar pizza contract with Colorado Springs School District 11.  




Apparently, an oracle had warned the Trojans to "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."

Costas Romboccos -- Greek; largely responsible for the matching plaques at America the Beautiful Park and atop Pikes Peak.

USOC -- Greek, ultimately; involved in manifold and untold ways with the construction of America the Beautiful Park.
Theta Chi Gamma Lambda Alumni Corporation -- a group of tightly-knit college fraternal organizations somehow linked to Scott Noyes...son of Dick and Judy Noyes.

I was also able to find a connection to a company called Delta Directional Drilling...which again led me to wonder:  perhaps the fountain isn't winding something; perhaps it's drilling something -- something that could somehow cause an earth disturbance...





I will detail these links more closely in an upcoming post.  


The events surrounding the Trojan Horse were foretold by a woman named CassanDRA (SpyDRA), whose predictions were always accurate but never believed, due to a curse placed upon her by Apollo.

Listen, my friends, because this is the way that it is:  SOMETHING amazing will soon take place that will deceive many of us into wrongly believing that something big is taking place in the sky...possibly even coming down the mountains; a false-flag attack against the United States, perhaps, or even an alien invasion.


Supposedly at this time, people will believe what they are seeing, what they are hearing, what they are FEELING is REAL...the sounds will literally resound within us; how could that be possible?  Well, maybe if we all ate our Wheaties we'd all be good antennae it would work alright -- check out this disturbing video I came across pertaining to all that "iron fortification" they've done on our foods!

Unidentified man seated within
the Julie Penrose/Continuum Fountain

Now, I'm not necessarily saying that aliens are hiding inside the fountain and will flood out at an appointed time -- but what if it looked like such a thing was happening...what would you and yours do?


We will see something in the sky, but it will be a trick....essentially smoke and mirrors; while most of us are staring up at the sky with mouths ajar is exactly when we should be getting the hell out of Dodge...or alternatively, sheltering in place and hunkering down as best we are able.  It will be while we are all standing in shock and awe that the enemy will be getting into position...it will be while we're all rubbing our eyes to make sure we're not dreaming that will be most opportune for us to skedaddle!!!!



YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK IF YOU'RE DREAMING -- I ALREADY DID THE DREAMING FOR YOU!!!!


As with 9/11, there will be elements of the real intermixed with the orchestrated.  These people will use weapons on us that we're unaccustomed to...weapons we've never seen or heard of before -- but a lot of this will be MIND OVER MATTER!!



IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO BELIEVE ME, AT LEAST GO AND GET YOURSELF SOME MRE'S, AND CANDLES, AND SURVIVAL TYPE EQUIPMENT; RESEARCH THE VIDEOS AND CLAIMS THAT I MAKE HERE MORE CLOSELY YOURSELVES, AND REACH YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS!!!






PERHAPS IT'S JUST MY OWN OPINION...PARANOIA...DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR???  BUT CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL...FROM THE PREPONDERANCE LEVEL OF EVIDENCE, FACTORS ARE BEGINNING TO WEIGH AGAINST THE FOUNTAIN AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL PARK.  




I LOVE YOU, PEOPLE OF COLORADO SPRINGS...AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT THAT AS MANY OF US ARE NOT DECEIVED WHEN THIS SHIT ACTUALLY COMES FLYING DOWN THE PIKE.  LET US NOT BE FOOLED AGAIN!!!

 

And so that you have better idea of what is being discussed, here is Chapter 13 of the Book of Revelations.




Revelation 13 (King James Version)

Revelation 13

 ¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
 ²And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
 ³And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
 ⁴And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
 ⁵And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
 ⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
 ⁷And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
 ⁸And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
 ⁹If any man have an ear, let him hear.
 ¹⁰He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
 ¹¹And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
 ¹²And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
 ¹³And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
 ¹⁴And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
 ¹⁵And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
 ¹⁶And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
 ¹⁷And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
 ¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
