Donald Trump Donates Proceeds of His R/E Game "to AIDS and the Homeless" - 1989




The Recorder, Greenfield, Mass., Wednesday, February 8, 1989

Trump unveils:
'Trump — The Game' 

NEW YORK -- Deal-making developer Donald Trump has found something else to put his name on: a new board game similar to what else — Monopoly.

Trump appeared Tuesday with representatives of Milton Bradley Co, at a Trump Tower news conference to unveil Trump — The Game". 

"Trump" is somewhat like Parker Bros.'s Monopoly in that the player with the most money wins. But the Trump "T" has replaced Monopoly game pieces like the shoe, the thimble and the iron,, and the highest Trump denomination is $100 million instead of $500. 

And unlike Monopoly, the new game features pictures of Trump the man on the money, game board, playing cards and the box.

"It's a much more sophisticated game than Monopoly," Trump said. "I like to play Monopoly — I've played it all my life, in many forms".

Capitalists ages 12 and older are invited to "share in the exciting high-stakes risk-taking I get to do every day. ... If you are clever, aggressive and cut the best deals, you can earn millions ...even billions of dollars. Just remember. Play to win or not at all!"

Trump said his proceeds from the $25 game, which" will hit toy-store shelves this spring will go to causes like cerebral palsy, AIDS and homeless.

In Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s Bed – a History of “Friends”, Rock, Roy and the FBI at the Infamous Historic (B&B) Pink Bishop’s Palace NYC




The original "Rock"





 Those protective subterfuges were occurring during the "red witch-hunts" led by Senator Joseph McCarthy through the House Un-American Activities Committee, a campaign that spread from exposing "commies" to exposing "queers" in government, a dangerous time Hofler vividly evokes.

     Even the FBI became involved in an investigation of Hudson's sex activities, despite the fact that insiders knew that FBI head J. Edgar Hoover was gay and, it was steadfastly rumored, had appeared at a New Year's eve party in drag with his friend Cardinal Spellman. The bully at McCarthy's right hand was Roy Cohn, who eventually died of AIDS, and who, during the hearings to expose "commies and queers," was accompanied by his lover, David Schine.

     Exposure was not the only reason for hiding. A sex act in private between consenting adults was punishable with years in prison. Men dancing with men in clubs might be arrested for "lewd conduct." A vice raid on an innocuous pajama party netted Arthur Gelien, who five years later became Tab Hunter.

     Wily maneuvers witnessed by this reviewer were needed to overcome such arrests. In a club in Topanga Canyon, lights flashing off and on warned same-sex couples on the dance floor to shift partners. Gay men would dance with lesbians, a legal coupling.

Thwarting a raid by provoking embarrassment, the pianist in a Hollywood gay bar would burst into the strains of the bridal march when a cop and a member of the shore patrol were identified walking down the stairs together like a couple.

Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson – Ronald Reagan’s Go-To Guy on Catholics, Abortion, Contraception, AIDS, Catholic SCOTUS Nominees



I don’t hear Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore complaining about Obama's war on religious freedom regarding the very private Catholic practices of Monsignor Lynn of Philadelphia or Coach Jerry Sandusky, a Knights of Columbus Awardee, of Penn State.  

No doubt the secular end of reality has beaten poor Bill Lori down to a frazzle. But luckily he has a friend not in Jesus but in Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson of the Knights of Columbus Catholic charity cult.

Doing some reading, I have found on the Ronald Reagan Library site a list of files in the Carl Anderson section of that archive.

Carl A. Anderson is named in that site as Ronny Reagan’s go to man on all things Catholic. Talk about the pope in the basement of the White House thing with the John Kennedy Presidential Campaign, the church did not get the pope in the White House but it did get –
ANDERSON, CARL: Files, 1985-1987Office of Public Liaison (Domestic Policy, Catholics, Family Issues)  
http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/textual/smof/andersca.htm
Carl started out life as working as “an assistant to John Svahn, Assistant to the President for Policy Development (OPD). The Reagan Library does not currently have a Carl Anderson collection for his time in OPD.” 

The lack of files is explained away as the files moved over in his promotion to Office of Public Liaison (Catholics Etc.) or he didn’t do any paperwork in the brief stint under John Svahan. (how do you spell paper shredder?)

John Svahan, by the way, has since moved on to senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank founded by two uber-catholics following the fallout of the Nixon Watergate scandal.

Co-founder of the Heritage Foundation is Edwin Feulner, whose pet project outside of American politics is the Fundacion Burke http://www.fundacionburke.org/actividades/ , a political education organization for young Spanish men to learn Conservative values and even get into Internship programs in conservative think tanks stateside in the United States. 

Getting back to Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, some of his Reagan White House files are available in the Reagan archive. Half of about a dozen and half “Abortion” files are available, the rest are probably not imaged and would probably only be available through a Freedom of Information request.

All four files on AIDS are listed as available.

The sixteen files on Reagan Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork remain sealed.

In fact, Carl Anderson’s usefulness or worn out welcome at the White House came almost exactly with the Senate shooting down Bork’s nomination in October 1987.  No doubt sneaking Opus Dei parishioner Anton Scalia into the Supreme Court in 1986 was too much of a lucky thing that Reagan / Anderson and Company had to push the limits of credulity, greed, Senate gullibility, so much so that Teddy Kennedy, who was not always a stupid man, had to put the full force of his political prestige against the Robert Bork appointment.

Carl went onto a decade of grand knight in charge of the Washington D.C. Knights jurisdiction before becoming Supreme Knight in 2000 just in time for George W. Bush’s election and “Faith Based Initiative” handouts to the Catholic Bishops among other dying member base religious organizations.

One other Supreme Knight laurel not mentioned in Wikipedia is as Vice President and Board Member of the money pit appendage of Catholic University, the shadowy John Paul II Institute (front for the CIA?/Opus Dei/Legion of Christ), an organization that seems to be a clearing house for Spanish speaking priests that need some American language, political orientation, PR polish before being put into lower echelons of future power in Catholic Church Institutions such as Seminaries, Schools, Universities in the decades to come.  I think Archbishop Chaput is someone, one of several, now in that process of recycling Legion of Christ members into future positions of American Catholic power. It is a big job. So many loyal priests and so little time to place them strategically elsewhere. 

Have a nice day.

Mormons, Catholic Bishops and Boys on the Side



In these days of Orwellian Speak, MSM and the last days of Constantine’s Kristian Army Religion, it is sometimes difficult to communicate on a real eye to eye, in your face, in the gut with feelings to or with your “neighbor”.

In such an environment let me talk parable and or metaphor and start by talking about a chick flick and work my way around reality and try to make a point in old fashioned common/farm sense for us older types without all our fingers engaged on a joy stick/keyboard.

Back when or thereabout in time, AIDS was denounced by the living cadaver president Saint Ronald Reagan as being a punishment from God or some such similar scripted rhetoric from that “B” actor, I saw the movie Boys on the Side http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112571/ with Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker, Drew Barrymore and Matthew McConaughey wearing a shirt. 

Whoopi, who is an original, seems to have played a lot of Lesbian parts in Hollywood to establish a career there or maybe this was her only gay part. 

Mary-Louise Parker in this movie along with Angels in America http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318997/  seems to have put her safely in the must see by gays actress category at the box office.

And who cannot love Drew Barrymore? Did I mention McConaughey, still early in his career, had to keep his shirt on while “acting”?

Well anyway, getting back to my beloved dumbed down America and Hollywood’s approach to trying to educate the American public on the facts of the AIDS Virus. To in essence have an innocent like Mary-Louise Parker catch that life threatening, life killing virus, through straight heterosexual sex. That, rather than doing the whole gay scene thing through which that infection made its presence known on the North American and European continents.

First, I liked this chick flick, Boys on the Side, mainly for the scenery in Arizona, where much of the movie was filmed.  It was filmed in and around Tucson and having lived there I enjoyed the movie cuts that put certain timeline and geographical landmarks out of sequence as in a typical movie filmed in Manhattan where being in a taxi cab at Lincoln Center in one scene makes it virtually impossible to have actors do a two minute conversation and exit at Wall Street etc.

Hollywood’s MSM Orwellian Speak approach to educating dumbed down America only scratched the surface in the human tragedy of the AIDS plague.

Which brings my parable to the above pictured “baptisimal” device in the basement of the Great Temple in Salt Lake City.

It looks quite Pagan, a lot like the circus statuary in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.  It supposedly takes a description of Solomon’s Temple from Book of Kings 1, and from all the translations I have read a poor translation, for molten metal in “molten sea” in the manufacture of bronze of similar oxen described during the Babylonian Captivity when a lot of the Hebrew Testament first got manufactured, first written down IMO, in retro fitting the Hebrew past into words to a people in cultural crisis and in fear of losing that cultural identity exiled in a foreign state.

Well anyway, Jesus in the Greek Testament got baptized in the Jordan Creek/River depending on the translation of creek and or river etc.

The difference between the real Jesus and his teachings and the Mormon faith is something like the difference between the River Jordon in the sunlight and five tons of Bronze supporting a marble bath tub in some dark secret basement in Salt Lake City.

This brings me to my gripe.
 
First, I have some relatives that have in the past converted to Joseph Smith's Horse Stealing Religion of Mormonism.  Constantine had his perversions, murdering his rival general son and of course perverting the teaching of Jesus, merging them with Roman Pagan Sacred Tradition.  And Joseph Smith perverted Constantine’s idea of religion and found gold tablets in upstate New York (like winning the lottery in spiritual terms, possible but with the odds, highly unlikely).

As such, I hope that my parents, grandparents, great grandparents have not being re-baptized or been forced to participate from the grave of in a  post mortem Mormon baptism (necromancy) for the sake of propaganda to constantly prop up the Joseph Smith myth, myths, (sodomite rumors?), that kept following him all his life as he moved around a lot ahead of the local sheriffs and the local farmers missing their horses and the occasional odd sheep (emphasis on the word odd).  Forced to be baptized, post mortem, in a Demonic looking device such  as the above.

All this fuss in the Mormon church and the Catholic church about marriage is just a cover story. While it is debatable if Jesus was gay (let’s ask Mary Magdalene on that one), the male hierarchy of Temple Square in Salt Lake City and Saint Peter’s Square in Rome are such homophobes, that I truly suspect that Joseph Smith was light in his loafers and the whole sacred marriage tradition is merely cover for closeted gays and closeted gayness to hide behind  so-called sacred heterosexual marriage.

Now that the Mormons “Male” hierarchy has joinned Roman Catholic “Male” hierarchy at the hip(?) in this hate campaign against gays and against the civil right issue of marriage equality, I wonder why the MSM is of late advertising Salt Lake City as the "most gay friendly city in America" except that maybe "they" want to blend in with the tourists (gay) on weekends at their new City Creek Center gay tourist trap next to the Temple and that demonic baptism Halloween decoration device used to baptize dead Holocaust victims on a regular basis and now unofficial closeted manner (we’re sorry, we’ll stop, yeah right).

While the Mormons can deny that polygamy still exists on an official basis, the unofficial basis says otherwise.  And what better way to hide the facts of polygamy in the western United States than to deny “marriage” to the evil gays who don’t understand the whole straight, heterosexual, missionary sex Kristian/Mormon thing.

And of course the Catholic Bishops are married to the church and cannot marry women (yuk!) as actually written in the Greek Testament as a requirement to be a bishop, they can back up the Mormon Front on Marriage and “religious liberty” MSM public relations Orwellian speak thing.

So life is good for the Mormon Hierarchs and the Catholic Bishops these days.

Mormons.  Catholic Bishops.  That Official Marriage thing (Bullshit!). 


And Boys on the Side.

Condom Head No More ?

I have to suppose that in dealing with the Roman Church, that traditions or rituals that are thousands of years old must outrank ideas from a modern age.

No doubt a lot of internal shouting from bishops to the seat of Peter within the very thick walls of the Vatican has finally registered a small amount of modern common sense on a pontiff steeped in the past.

The pope, far from changing any official church doctrine, has in a way and in an unofficial sense commented on the use of condoms to prevent the spread of disease, as in the case of Aids in Africa where it is of epidemic proportions in some areas.

Without changing anything, everything changes on the comments Benedict XVI make in an upcoming book due out this week - Peter Seewald - The Light of The World.

Pope’s remarks on condoms
It seems a turnaround from the pontiff’s stance on the issue in March 2009 during a visit to Africa, when he went as far as saying that condoms “aggravated” the Aids problem.

“In certain cases, where the intention is to reduce the risk of infection, it can nevertheless be a first step on the way to another, more humane sexuality,” the head of the Catholic church said, giving as an example a male prostitute having sex with a client…

“I think it is very good that the pope sees the discussion in the worldwide church and he listened to other bishops who said there had to be discussion about condoms when we speak about Aids,” Florian Flohr, spokesman for the Catholic church of Lucerne, told swissinfo.ch.

“It’s very important now that the pope says the same thing.”

Can the pontiff’s remarks be regarded as a revolution? “It’s going too far to say it’s a revolution, but it’s a change of view. There is no more taboo of speaking about it and I think that is very good because the condom is not the most important thing,” he said.

“The most important thing is that people are responsible for their sexuality and that they think about it.”

Facebook vs. King Condom




It is a battle of the Titans on WWF? No. Just Factbook against the Pope!

Don’t get too excited and don’t reserve any pay per view channels. It is just the average guys and gals in the street not bowing to the worn out, obsolete PR of the western establishment slowing crumbling before our very eyes.

History and the demise of the RC church in out lifetime may match the timing or go quicker than Bear Sterns went belly up on Wall Street.

The nameless people, the peasants, do not want to be talked down to anymore by a bubble wrapped religious emperor who thinks that every word dripped from his lips should be applauded. Hey Joe, there is a real world outside the Vatican.

Condoms do stop some transmission of the AIDS virus. Read my lips Joe! - or Benedict or whatever name you wish to go by. Truth is not in a name or a title. That is so passé, royal and 12th century.

The people in the streets don’t buy the Cable TV, MSM talking heads, or papel bullshit about forty years of birth control misinformation coming out of the festering corrupt pile of the hierarchy of the RC church.

Real people with real sex lives know how to conduct themselves in bedrooms, between consenting adults, and know how to be informed about safe sex. Sex and the propaganda about condoms did not pour so wonderfully over the pope’s lips in the in-flight news conference where he used the word condom but had possibly never really seen or touched one. Faking it Joe? An 81 year old virgin?

Nameless people change history. Kudos for maybe not nameless people on Facebook who are making their contribution to the continuation and survival of our civilization and secular world!

There are names that escape history. There was a name they dug up for the Abolition movement in the mid 19 century US culture and later refound for the Civil Rights movement in the US 1960’s. The name of Crispus Attucks was one of the first five Yanks that got killed by British “friendly fire” at the so-called Boston Massacre. Being a free black man and 20% of the collateral damage made his example a useful tool to illustrate how blacks had been present all along in American history, though many times swept to a back page as a footnote.

So too Muntadar al-Zaidi’s name is not a famous name in the western world but his throwing his shoes at the Authoritarian President Bush makes him a household name among the world’s billion plus Muslims.

Facebook, an Internet hangout for whatever, has now taken up the challenge. Like nameless peasants with torches and pitchforks, they are ready to storm the Vatican Castle of Ignorance in reference to Scientific Misinformation about Condoms. They “are mad as hell and do not want to take it anymore” in regards to the Papal Misinformation about Condoms and AIDS.

They are proposing to send condoms to the Pope in the Vatican. Oh Joy!

Facebook users wage condom campaign against Pope

A good step – in the right direction? I hope nobody starts throwing those little packets/things at his Holiness. Despite his gross Ignorance, he is defined by his role, stupid as he is at times, and deserving to a measure of old fashioned respect – does the younger generation have any clue what I am talking about. You cannot or should not advocate the change of the world by anything other than non-violent means. Gandhi and MLK in the modern age have demonstrated that.

Remember that Crispus paid with his life for his contribution to the American Revolution and Muntadar got sentenced to three years in jail for his actions and after being tortured and having had his teeth kicked out in the jails of our freedom loving allies – the Iraqi government.

There is always a cause and an effect. That is a law, energy, of Physics.

The peasants with the torches and pitchforks precipitates an end to the monster in the old 1930 Horror flicks – they do not necessarily kill the monster.

The monster within, the beast, the cause of the ghosts of millions of medieval violence victims, harnessed and or orchestrated by the RC church should be a thing of the past. Otherwise, the pope would be on his knees, apologizing and praying for forgiveness for his corporation until the end of time.

That being said. Hip, Hip, Hooray to Facebook!

And also to Joe the Pope - to cause a massive surge worldwide in the sale and use of condoms for safe sex and as a preventative effort to ward off the AIDS virus.

The Force be blessed!
