Bad Finger - Baby Blue - Breaking Bad - The American Dream










Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.

What Religion is Art Pope in North Carolina – the First American Christian Sharia State?



North Carolina’s New Sharia Pope – Art Pope – is dismantling a diverse democratic state. 

It was bound to happen sooner or later – the race to establish an official state religion first in North Carolina and then later, throughout the old incestuous inbred Old Confederacy with this mental disease and lastly to take down the U.S. Constitution. 

The Second Amendment murdering the First Amendment. Cain Kills Abel so to speak.

Like many of these nebbish mystery think tank billionaires trying to reestablish human slavery in America for the corporations, I cannot find a religion listed anywhere for “Pope” Art Pope, the new Boss Tweed of Religious politics in North Carolina.  

Art like the Koch Brothers is not an atheist? His "god" is probably just money and power.



Eleven Republicans, including the state’s House Majority Leader (Edgar V. Starnes), backed a resolution proclaiming that the Constitution “does not grant the federal government and does not grant the federal courts the power to determine what is or is not constitutional,” and then decreeing that North Carolina could establish its own state religion. On the bright side, state house Speaker Thom Tillis announced that he would not advance this resolution after it was widely panned.

“Not one cent for people ; but every dollar for defense” – Rand Paul



“Not one cent for people ; but every dollar for defense. (And never forget, my mean spirited libertarian Republican heart was raised and educated in Texas!) ” – Rand Paul

Not one cent for people...

but every dollar for defense



And never forget, my mean spirited libertarian Republican heart was raised and educated in Texas!

The new face(s) of American Atheism – Todd Stiefel



CNN has this “Belief” Blog page that gives all sides a chance to present their point of view. And there usually is a few thousand typical dumbed down American “Duh!” comments made and repeated hundreds of cliché times perhaps by a few dozen regular trolls left and right for the sake of balance and appearance of modern style “Journalism”.

This past weekend I think they had this piece about Todd Stiegel being the new face of Atheism in America. He has spent something like three and a half million dollars on billboards on buses selling the new Atheist religion and or dogmas of belief in anti-theism, is that a new word?

Well I am all well and glad that the Atheists are getting out of the closet for free of past fears that some red neck bible thumpers and Wayne Lapierre kill ya with a gun dandy lobbyist types will kill you for not believing in the angry desert god of the mono-theists (sounds like a disease?).

Todd’s bio about getting to the point of being a good Catholic Boy and giving up the faith when he realized in college, after reading the bible, that it is a poorly constructed OT and NT piece of uninspired writing – the bio leaves out the 100,000 word book that should fill in the gap between uninspired bible book stuff and how he got to Atheist. 

Maybe he is just a Areligionist like me and wasting all his time on the dogma of that Atheist shit.

The CNN piece sounded like it was a polished knock off of Todd’s Foundation’s mimeographed PR handout appealing for mo’ money, mo’ money like any other whoring church, synagogue, mosque, temple, storefront on the planet.

Of course Todd is soft spoken and affable and lives in laid back North Carolina where he presently makes his base trying to spend the billions his family made in chemicals or Pharmas or something like that.

Three and a half million Todd – chump change! Time to pump the chumps for their change?

Todd is no loud mouthed drunk like Hitchens or over educated academic don like Dawkins.

Stiefel and his real long term agenda, whatever it is, is tied up presently, short term, in with a coalition of other middle of the road, so-called non-religious but money collecting types, the Secular Coalition of America.

Whatever.

Barclays Employees Give Romney Campaign $207,500



Libor cheats at Barclays London have given old Mitt money for his campaign.

Is that legal to takes bribes from foreigners?

They won't want favors regarding fixing worldwide loan Libor rates? Will they?

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/romney-causes-stir-in-britain/story-e6freuz9-1226436272277


The meetings come a day after the Daily Telegraph newspaper published a story quoting an unidentified Romney campaign adviser saying the Republican believes the US relationship with Britain is special because of shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage" and the White House doesn't appreciate that shared history.
Romney quickly distanced himself from any such view.
"I don't agree with whoever that adviser might be," Romney told NBC News, "but do agree that we have a very common bond between ourselves and Great Britain."
Later Thursday, Romney planned to hold a high-dollar fundraiser. One of the hosts, former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond, withdrew from the event after he resigned in the wake of a rate-rigging scandal involving British banks.
Diamond had already sent a check for $US2500 ($A2430). So have 82 others who listed their employer as Barclays or Barclays Capital on US Federal Election Commission records.

Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs – Messiah of the New Global Culture

200 West Street - Goldman Sachs H.Q. NYC - the new Vatican


It is a secret to many perhaps about the return of Jesus to planet earth. One had always thought that he would come back in clouds and not in a revelation.

But since the premise I believe is true that:

Capitalism is the new religion; money is the new God – then the only body standing claiming both power and “doing the work of God” is his holiness Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs. (bow your heads)

Of course this may all be somewhat confusing to the holders of the old dead Christian belief systems, sects, cults, delusions, propagandas etc.

The truth of the big change in the United States elections for Emperor (President) is when the powers behind the throne of the G.O.P. (God’s Own Party) have backed the Mormon cult guy to lead “a Christian nation”. (wink, nod)

(Christianity doesn’t mean jack shit anymore apparently.  All that socialism and communism and actually trying to care for poor buggers etc., what a waste of valuable investment capital…)

I had been searching these past few years here to try and reconcile the early Jesus philosophy with the corrupted buggering army thing that Constantine the Great merged with all his favorite pagan religions and rituals.  Well time moves on, and the core of the old Constantine cult, the RCC, is obsolete when it cannot reconcile itself to half the human race, females (yuk!), let alone the new global culture that has risen right up among us.

And it like all cultural things, those clinging to the old ways are               somehow indistinguishable from the new religion of supply and demand, crushing 99% of humanity back into the caves where they deserve to belong – but oh how glorious is this new age of the raptured who have lived to see and be warmed in the light of the new God/Money.

Praise be to Dollars! (one of God’s favored nicknames) (Pounds in the UK, Yen in Tokyo etc.)

That means that 200 West Street in Manhattan, the Goldman Sachs Tower (above), is where the holy of holies is, a new Vatican(?), where the sacred ritual of trade is practiced and the messy collateral damage of computerized sacrifice to the new God/Money such as blood, chaos, starvation, poverty, civil war and evil imposed on the beasts, the poor, is not dirtying up the clean marbled and carpeted floors of the new high priests in their sacred skyscraper castle of this new age and religion. 

People must now remove their shoes when entering 200 West.

This is surely holy ground!

Oh God of Money, prove that you love me.  Inspire your high priest Lloyd, (Jesus come again) to give me a computerized formulated hedge fund algorism to make me rich!

Amen.

Behold the face of divine perfection you mere lowly mortals.

Bishops Bransfield Delivers the Goods to Benedict XVI



Vatican Radio 4/19/2012:



“Each year the wish list gets longer and longer..its' really a wonderful opportunity for the Pope and he responds throughout the world! He doesn't restrict it" says Bishop Michael Bransfield of Charleston-Wheeling, West Virginia, President of the US charitable organisation the Papal Foundation. 

They are the lay Catholic men and women from across the US who each year gift the Holy Father a 'wish list', in short the funds to carry out or sponsor charitable works that are particularly dear to him. On Saturday the Foundation members - who are known as Stewards of St. Peter - will meet with the Holy Father and present him a donation of over 8 million dollars to fund projects throughout the world.

Bishop Bransfield who is accompanying the Stewards on their annual pilgrimage to the See of St. Peter, says they “see this as a vocation, they see this as their ability to help the Holy Father to do things that otherwise he simply wouldn’t be able to do”...



Q: Quite a big difference in the case of the Papal Foundation, how did it all begin?
A: “Early in the 1980’s JPII had a lot of charities that he was not able to fund and a lot of concerns in Easter Europe and throughout the world. So Cardinals and Archbishops who were his friends…Cardinal Krol and Cardinal McCarrick got together and set up a foundation, it started in Philadelphia but immediately spread throughout our country because the Archbishops and Cardinals backed them up and brought in members”. 

Q So how does it work? 
A: “They put together this organisation and asked these people, who really are from all over the States, to give a million dollars each that would stay in the United States and the money that came from that, the income and different grants would come to the Holy Father for the poor of the world and for his charities or works that he wanted done. [The Pope] sends a list over and in November we meet in Washington and its reviewed by the grants committee and then again by the board and they approve what they can fund and what they can do for the Holy Father because the wish list gets longer and longer”.

Money Hungry Fascists are Dead Inside - (Zombies?)



A bit of street theatre Monday as Wall Street protesters dressed as Corporate Zombies.



The Daily Mail is normally a suck ass establishment organ of propaganda in Britain.  Their article above does have an interesting array of photos not available in the censored free American Press and airwaves.

I took the title above off a hand painted cardboard sign.  That image in the Daily Mail article seems to express so much truth reflecting the anger we Americans have these days regarding immoral acts of business and government and the resulting collateral damage to us, the people.

I did the corporate grind so to speak for many decades.  It was necessary to support myself and my family and was part of the American Dream that I was building for myself and as a legacy to those that come after.

I never sold my soul to make my daily bread.  Nobody should have to.

I do wonder why millionaires are not satisfied. They used to only dream of but not need billions to be happy.  Now they are aiming at trillions and at the very expense and fabric of humanity.

Worth repeating.

Money Hungry Fascists are Dead Inside.  Zombies?

(trick of treat anyone?)

vatican to copyright sky! - news at eleven

-
I don’t know what to make of the following – another anti-christian chicken story perhaps?

I guess every government wants to get in on the ponzi cap and trade rackets of natural resources and national images, words, gestures, natural good looks. (Not to mention censoring You Tube viewers from seeing falling pontiffs at Midnight masses that occur at ten p.m..) Etc.

Pope Benedict XVI: Copyright! All Rights Reserved!
The Vatican will establish copyright protection on the use of the name, the image and symbols associated with the head of the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy See intends to hold the exclusive right for their use, the Catholic News Agency said...

The news came as a surprise. Pope Benedict XVI previously condemned those who defend their copyright. The Pontiff criticized the struggle for copyright as a phenomenon which contradicted to the notion of mutual help and Christian love to other people…

“How can all this be related to the Pope? I do not see any way to register such copyright – there are no adequate laws for that. The Pope cannot be a trademark because the Pope is a natural person. Why would they do something like that ? Is there a need for that? Even if the Vatican managed to have it all legalized, I doubt that it would win considerable profit from it,” the professor said.

Sergey Fyodorov, a senior expert with the Institute for Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that the Vatican simply wants to make more money.
----Sergey Balmasov, Pravda.Ru
“Greed is good” to quote Oliver Stone’s infamous character Gordon Gekko.

Greed can also backfire. If you have to pay - maybe the brand name and the product will get ignored and forgotten. Free to the catholic blogoshere is free to the choir and empty pews as well, so to speak.

Good luck in the forgotten twilight years of the reign of “what’s his name”?

I quoted from Pravda to get a less than polished (corrupted) western MSM spin on this news article. That and that news agency might report a little more truth, bizarre as it might seem on any given subject. It is good to have a different point of view.

I also think the Russians will laugh when asked to pay a toll to talk about “what’s his name” in the Vatican.

Whatever.
