Woolly Mammoth Meets Dark River ( a fable )

Woolly Mammoth went trudging his way along the path near the river. The heat was unbearable. The noonday sun would soon spike high above. He was looking for just the right spot in the river, not too shallow, not too deep to first cool his toes and then spray himself with the help of his truck. Time to cool off, shake the old neck and perhaps get a snack.

Woolly was off on his own today, away from the herd. A female was giving birth in the distance. Female's work to give encouragement and a few nudges for a calf to be born. Oh the burden of being a big bull. The Big Bull. King of the woolly mammoths.

A young male cousin was tagging along nearby. Big Bull raised his truck and trumpeted his displeasure. Leave me alone. I am Big Bull. Go off and play. Or watch big sister give birth to little brother.

The young male hesitated a moment and then Big Bull made a mock charge of one or two steps and then young male ran off towards the rest of the herd.

"Hmm." Gotta a keep an eye on little cousin, that young male, Little Bull. He may challenge me one day. But I will run him off because I am Big Bull, head of the herd of woolly mammoths.

Just then a sweet smell of broken grasses reached big bull's nose. Smells like sweet Mammoth grass. Someone is eating it. A snack first, then the river. Along the path he continued until he came to what looked like an island in the middle of the river. Tall sweet grass, still wet with morning dew lay under the shade of a mighty tree.

I don't remember this spot. Perhaps my father, Old Bull, had once shown me this spot. Old Bull knew all the good places to find the good treats. One does not always have to share with the herd. The herd would always be along. Follow the scent of Big Bull and sweet grass on a riverbank.

How deep is the river here? Can I cross it without too much effort? Could always swim but the wool coat, it gets wet and the swim would be such an effort in this heat. The snack would not taste as good as…

Just then Big Bull saw the strangest creature he ever did see before. It was like a woolly Mammoth but it was smaller and had no wool. Unbelievable. Was this some illusion in the water? Am I dreaming?…

Bull Pachyderm stopped chewing and stared across the water at the big woolly mammoth. Who are you? You are so strange looking. Bigger than an elephant and wearing a big heavy fur coat and in tropical weather like this. Who are you?

I am Big Bull, King of the Woolly mammoths. This is my territory and you are eating my grass.

Your grass? I beg your pardon. But this is my grass. Hmm. It’s good, and sweet and very moist.

Big Bull charged into the edge of the water and stepped back, shaking his head and raising his enormous tusks skyward as he echoed a mighty trumpet sound in the direction of the intruder.

Bull Elephant (Pachyderm) froze his head for a moment and then went on chewing the sweet elephant grass.

Stop that! Stop that I say, shaking his head said Big Bull Woolly mammoth.

Why? Asked chewing elephant.

Because this is my territory and that is my grass.

Says who?

Says me. Big Bull Woolly M…

Yeah, Yeah, I caught the name. But let me tell you something. This is my ground and my grass and my ladies I don't think they want to mate with another species though probably closely related and wearing a big fur coat. Sex is a big deal in this heat. First you got dig a big hole in which to…

I am King of the Woolly mammoths! This is my territory!

Oh I get it. My gramps told me about yous mammoths. Said yous was extinct. Died out with the recent ice age and all that.

Get off my land! I challenge you! Get away from my grass!

Big Bull Woolly Mammoth charged into the river.

I wouldn't do that if I were you Big Bull. You see…

Big Bull stopped. A strange smell arose from the river. The mud felt slimy. His truck went to touch the water. What is this? Such strange mud. It's dark. Like the night. I don't smell nutrients…I

Big Bull tried to turn around but his feet were stuck in the mud.

Big Bull blasted his trumpet voice in anger at the staring elephant who was still slowly chewing his grass. Nobody challenges Big Bull. River mud cannot stop me.

How about tar? tooted Bull Elephant to Bull mammoth.

Tar? That black gunk you are sinking in and will shortly be drowning in.

But how did you get onto that island without getting stuck?

Just then Little Bull Mammoth made a splash into the river water. I am here to help. Before Big Bull could wave him off, little cousin had come close enough to find the feel of the slimy bottom and stop in this movement forward. What is this stuff Big Bull?

Big Bull was shocked and bewildered. He knew that this was a terrible trouble that he could not fix with a toot of his trunk or the bump of his head and tusks against an opponent's head.

How did you get onto that island without getting stuck? Tell me how to get out?

Hey you challenged me Big Bull, I didn't challenge you. You told me to leave this, my land, and to give you the sweet grass on the land on which I stand.

I am Big Bull, King of the Woolly Mammoths, trumpeted the massive creature. Get off my land and stop eating my sweet grass.

Little Bull echoed a similar message although his sound also echoed a fear and he began to struggle and sink deeper into the muck.

Bull Elephant came to the water's edge. Big Bull Woolly Mammoth saw tar stains on the toes of his opponent.

Tell me the secret of this dark river and I will be kind to you in our fight. I will not bump you so hard. I will let you take a few of your ladies with you when you leave my territory. I will even…

Big Bull feet sunk another measure. Little Bull eyes peered above the tar and only his flapping ears and trunk held upward squealed a sound for help.

Since you're going fast to the place of the ancestors, I'll let you in on a little secret. This ain't no island. It used to be an island. It’s more like a peninsula nowadays. I walked across the mud over on this other side. I little sticky but I know where to step.

But you have no right. This is my territory said a tired Big Bull slipping fast into history.

No right. I earned the right. I was patient. I watched animal after animal, species over species, sink on this side of the island. One by one they smelled the sweet grass. One by one they perished in the tar. Now there is a land bridge that reaches this island. I know the path. It is a bridge made of bones and blood mixed with sand and tar.

Big Bull slipped fully into the dark river but not before one last time announcing to the world that he was Big Bull, King of the Woolly Mammoths.

Bishop Robert Morlino is Failing Badly

Bishop Robert Morlino is failing badly in his role as a community leader. If the Catholic Church had any sense, they would replace him with someone more in touch with the community he should be serving. Of course, they won't. 

…The bishop also has a pulpit -- literally. He has a particularly significant voice in the community. He could be speaking out against poverty or rampant gun violence or lack of respect for workers or the unequal distribution of wealth or binge drinking on campus or domestic violence or racial profiling or even the pollution of our lakes, which he would define as God's creation.

But no, he chooses issues like abortion and stem cell research, and now he even picks a fight with nuns who have had the audacity to try to build bridges of understanding with other faiths. 

His point apparently is that unless you believe that the church is right about everything, you have no business speaking for it.

In a letter to the editor in this morning's State Journal, defending the bishop, Monsignor James Bartylla wrote that it was "necessary to protect the reputation of the church." Yeah, I'll say.

Bishop Morlino of Madison Wisconsin accuses Nuns of Modern Witchcraft with Vatican codewords New-Agism and Indifferentism

The witch burning of two nuns and two female associates will take place as soon as Governor Scott Walker signs off on pending witch burning legislation in the Wisconsin capital and ultimate approval from the Koch Brothers of course, that goes without saying, wink, nod.

Drunk on the blood of the saints and some of Paul Ryan’s $350 a bottle French Merlot leftover from Paul's unsuccessful, crashing, failed, run for the White House, Bishop Morlino of Madison Wisconsin, the cheese state, is ranting and raving and sending out mean anti-vagina secret memos to his priest buddies, about nuns who teach meditation and yoga as part of their Gospel message and service to the Community.

At least they are trying to serve the message of Jesus and are not trying to drink themselves blind in a campaign to get a better bishop’s assignment than in a backwater shithole like Madison Wisconsin.

Oh, how the great have fallen. The Roman Church is starting to cannibalize itself. So many hungry bishops and so few tasty true Catholics left to consume. LOL

Two longtime Madison nuns who lead an interfaith spirituality center have been banned by Madison Catholic Bishop Robert Morlino from holding workshops or providing spiritual direction or guidance at any Catholic churches in the 11-county diocese. 

Sisters Maureen McDonnell and Lynn Lisbeth, both Sinsinawa Dominicans, have diverged too far from Catholic teaching, according to a confidential memo sent Nov. 27 to priests on behalf of Morlino. A copy of the memo was leaked to the State Journal. 

Two other women connected to the interfaith center, called Wisdom's Well, also have been banned as part of the same action. 

The memo says Morlino has "grave concerns" about the women's teachings, specifically that they "espouse certain views" flowing from such movements as "New Ageism" and "indifferentism." The latter, according to the memo, is "the belief that no one religion or philosophy is superior to another."… 

Wisdom's Well was founded in Madison in 2006. The center has no physical facility but offers workshops and retreats on topics such as nonviolence, contemplative living and Christian meditation. 

The center's website says it "serves to support those who desire to grow spiritually, seek inner wisdom, and yearn for a transformative spirituality." Its mission statement says the center is "grounded in the Christian tradition, while embracing the wisdom found in other religious traditions."  

Along with the sisters, the third staff member is Beth O'Brien, a married mother of two and a religious layperson affiliated with the Benedictine community. She also is banned, as is Paula Hirschboeck, a philosophy professor at Edgewood College in Madison who helped found Wisdom's Well but is no longer on its staff. 

The women declined comment, referring questions to the Dominicans of Sinsinawa Congregation, based in southwestern Wisconsin.

Neo-Con “War on Christmas” just a Publicity Stunt to Get Free Media Time to Sell the Obsolete Christian Myth – Civil War / Implosion within Christianity Spills Out over into the Streets

There is no war on Christmas. 

Wal-Mart is making record profits selling cheap shitty Christmas junk made by slave labor in China.

Nobody in a secular world wants to hear the ten trillionth repeat of the Constantine Christ Myth make up seventeen hundred years ago and hijacked from the original now extinct “Christians”.

The political decision for the political Neo-Cons who hate women and genuine freedom of expression are marking their territory like dogs saying that only white male entitled Constantine Myth can and must continue to be displayed in the public realm in America.

That once the public square must show a white person Nativity Scene, the next display will be anti-abortion or anti-gay billboards, changing with the seasons and or the whim of Massa Jim DeMint over at the White Massa Club aka as the tax free Heritage Foundation.

If anything, with Irish drunks like Bill O’Reilly and Bill Donohue being the main spokesmen for the myth of the war on Christmas, the implosion of the Vatican and right wing American Christian organizations whose main income now is not from individual contributions but the American Taxpayer through the George W.Bush Faith Based “charity” rip off – that implosion is showing in this phony PR War for Media Attention at Christmas.

The Civil War going on in the Catholic Church, whereby Cultural Catholics, Cafeteria Catholics, Closeted Clergy, Uber(I am holier than the pope)-Catholics and others who cannot sit down together and look their fellow Catholics in the eye in their ancient made up service, is the reason why so much of this vitriol of Christians spills out onto the sidewalks and into the public squares in America at this time of the year.

Please go back to the old days and gather inside your houses of worship and keep your evil shit to yourselves.

The last thing mentioned in the War on Christmas is Christ. The symbols of the infinite made up dogma in a diverse society cling to obscurity and the impossible hope of revival.

Whatever.

Happy Holidays!

Catholic Moral Majority is not the Catholic Left – As Kafkaesque Dolan/Donohue Explains - Catholic Moral Majority Offended by Continuing Obscene Presence of Bishop Finn in K.C.MO

The Election is barely over but President of the USCCB’s personal mouthpiece Bill Donohue over at the Catholic League is going with the Kafkaesque labeling of the Moral Majority of Catholics as the “Left” which is a political term.  The GOP lost the White House Tim and Bill. 

People who disagree with your corrupt interpretation of all this Catholic Hierarchical Stuff count it as something personal and publicly offensive as in the case of the aiding and abetting of a Sexual Offender, Bishop Finn of Kansas City Missouri continuing in office with tacit consent of the American Bishops and the overwhelming support of the corrupt regime presently in power in the Vatican.

Bill Donohue who is now labeling Finn’s many enemies as the “left” seems to have insiders knowledge of porn content and claims, implies, that only “One Nude Crotch Photo” of a little girl is not pornographic and that Father Ratigan, a personal buddy of Bobby Finn, was a victim of a miscarriage of American Judgment in his Kiddie Porn Conviction.

If that drunk and moral retard Bill Donohue is not playing bad cop to your "good" cop Cardinal Dolan and does not speak for you or your Church regarding Bishop Finn, please state so on this matter! Thank you.

BISHOP FINN AND THE CATHOLIC LEFT

But it also needs to be said that crotch shots are not pornographic. Moreover, the diocese described the “single photo” of a naked girl to a police officer who served on the diocesan sexual review board, and he said it did not constitute pornography. So why would the Times say that “hundreds of pornographic pictures” were found two years ago this month? The record shows that it was not until after the diocese called the cops in May 2011 that porn pictures were found on Ratigan’s computer.… 

Under Bishop Finn, the review board was contacted, the authorities were notified, and an independent investigation was ordered (the Graves Report). In short, Bishop Finn deserves better. The attack on him, coming exclusively from the Catholic Left, smacks of an agenda.

Unable to establish “morality” in the American Town Square as in the case of the Dolan/Donohue corrupt RC Hierarchy dynamic dual in New York City, the New York Times, the sometimes “Moral Authority” of the secular American Public Square has published an article, an editorial of sorts, to stir up the flies and maggots in the horse shit pile aka the Bishop Finn situation in Kansas City Missouri.


Missouri Bishop’s Conviction Leaves Clergy Divided

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In the three months since Bishop Robert W. Finn became the first American prelate convicted of failing to report a pedophile priest, lay people and victims’ advocates have repeatedly called for his resignation… 

“I think it would be easier for us to move forward without Bishop Finn as our bishop,” the Rev. Michael Clary, the pastor at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Lee’s Summit, Mo., which is part of Bishop Finn’s diocese, said in an interview. He added, however, that the bishop’s resignation may not be the only way forward. 

Such sentiments raise the question of whether Bishop Finn can successfully continue to oversee a diocese of 87 parishes and more than 130,000 people, or whether he will go the way of Cardinal Bernard F. Law, who gave up his post in Boston a decade ago after an outcry over his practice of reassigning priests accused of abuse to new parishes. A national online petition calling for Bishop Finn’s resignation has collected nearly 110,000 signatures… 

Festering anger and mistrust throughout the diocese present huge challenges in persuading parishioners to open their wallets. Priests critical of Bishop Finn said that for that to happen, he needed to admit wrongdoing and ask for forgiveness. 

“Some say he has made that apology, he has said he’s sorry, but he hasn’t told us what he’s sorry for,” said the Rev. Matthew Brumleve, pastor at Holy Family in Kansas City and another 20-year veteran of the diocese. 

“Is he sorry he got caught? Is he sorry we don’t see things the way he sees them? Or is he truly sorry for letting down the children of this diocese?” But Father Brumleve said he believed that Bishop Finn did not see the necessity of offering a more robust apology. 

“That’s going to be the millstone around our neck until that happens,” he said.

Tampon, Spam and Politically Correct Nativity Scenes

Now that the "dangerous" pope, Pope ”I was never a Nazi” Benedict XVI has purged all angels, farm animals, shepherds, and sheep (strange obsession some have with sheep?) from all politically correct Catholic Nativity Scenes, Doctor Mengele Donohue over at the New York Archdiocese funded Catholic League is ranting and raving, his usual pretend ape-shit thing, about some creative art made out of tampons in the form of the old politically incorrect Nativity Scene (above). 

Me, in our disposable commercial world prefer Nativity Scenes that you can eat.

Or better yet are carved out of the industrial foodstuff of the age - Spam.  Yum. Yum.

The Next Cardinal of Chicago – Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville?

"Smiling Conservative" Archbishop Kurtz of Louisville KY

Joe Kurtz’s impeding appointment as the next Cardinal of Chicago and as next President of the USCCB is something I decided to do a little research into before the MSM anoints a “great moral” leader to kill internet space and airtime.

I found it strange that in his standard Wikipedia bio the great next possible Slavic Leader of the Chicago Archdiocese is born, has two parents and then goes directly to St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philly as an Allentown diocese seminarian.

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


I love how these chaff farmers raised from poverty and into riches now are the bastions of money and privileged RC culture. I do love the “smiling conservative” brand on these chaff farmers and or ex-coal mining town types. They show you their teeth as they stick the cold piece of steel in between your ribs, as they close down schools, sell off American RC heritage/real estate and send the cash off to the Vatican Bank for the next phase of RC Inc. in the soon to be victimized third world religious plan.

Whatever.

Gleaning through some, much deleted (?) facts once available on Kurtz’s personal history on the internet, that it all may have once been there when he was in Knoxville; but that once he gets to Louisville it has all been purged.  I may be wrong about all this. I am no IT expert.  The Wiki bio seems to occur around Louisville and the open facts of Kurtz’s early life in the mining town of Mahanoy City Pennsylvania in my own ancestors' much impoverished upstate Schuylkill County, were never put in that bio to begin with.

I can see the Chicago Tribune now writing a piece about the Cardinal’s humble beginnings in Shithole Pennsylvania and now ordained by God to rule as Moral Master of the universe for Second City USA. Oh the horror!

Anyway, it took a lot of digging but I do not think there is a lot of mystery in why there are many bio holes in the next presumed bishop prince of Chicago.

Shuttered Assumption BVM RC church Mahanoy City, PA - Not a 7/11 yet

I believe he went to Assumption BVM RC church there in Mahanoy City. It is or was closed in 2009. I do not see any evidence of a parish school, so maybe future Cardinal Kurtz went to public school there. Nothing wrong with that. Except maybe somebody like future Cardinal Salvadore Cordileone went to public school in California.

I see people like Cordileone and or a Kurtz getting into junior or senior year in public school and when it comes time for the Junior or Senior Prom time, they find God and the RC church and a vocation rather than a prom date. And all that perhaps based on their own personal confused sexuality which combined with the thousand year old institutionalized confused sexuality of the western church, the thing that makes for much stress in a modern age when confused sexual RC hierarch types go around harassing non-confused heterosexual and homosexual types as part of their CEO management package.

Also, I would guess from a timeline thing, that Kurtz knew two years ahead of his old neighbors in Mahanoy City that they were going to close Assumption and thus the careful rewrites of Kurtz’s personal history ahead of time.

As of 2011, there was a many years appeal to the Vatican about the legitimacy of closing Assumption as part of a five church or so combined parish. The appeal and or Vatican lawsuit may still be going on which is also why Kurtz may be so hush hush perhaps about his boyhood parish etc.

Have a nice day.

USCCB President Cardinal Dolan Nominates His Successor Archbishop Joseph Kurtz

Oliver Stone is no Great Historian - His Secret History of the United States Sucks the Big One!

I have sat through the first three episodes of Oliver Stone’s The Secret History of the United States and am quite disappointed.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1494191/

The spark of Stone’s youthful talents in storytelling Hollywood Style has been sequestered into a malaise of middle age non-focus and boring self-opinionated fluff.

Not to say that interested students in American History domestic and foreign should not watch this series which is interesting in itself, if you already know a lot of history, but as a sole basis of knowledge, it lacks a lot and is rather sloppy IMO in its unfinished editing phase.

The Secret History adds maybe ten to fifteen percent of content to the general body of knowledge but most of what is discussed is already there in the history books one way or the other. As another or alternate opinion as a historian, Stone, like his movies deserves much respect.

I agree with one critic that Stone’s narration is slow, boring and puts you to sleep. It was no doubt done as budgetary gap kind of thing.

What I learned in a more definitive manner about American History is that the hard edge of economics shapes our history as does any Fourth of July picnic myths retelling that history over a communal marshmallow roasting at the twilight fire pit.

That Hitler was put in place by bankers in Germany as much as by many bankers in New York I was aware of but now somebody else in a more prominent role in the American public sphere agrees and speaks such a thought.

That the Russian People won World War Two with their blood and brute force born of sheer numbers of lives lost. That the Soviet Government merely armed their own people to win that tragic blood fest.

That Churchill was a real pussy when it came to having British involvement in a real land war with Hitler on the European mainland.  That Churchill was a warrior in his own mind like the original Lord Churchill of three hundred years ago.  But in retrospect I now see him as merely a pencil pushing clerk of the Brit Banker’s Global Slave Empire, that he in fact was.

That FDR might have set us up for a fall by dying in the beginning of his fourth term in office. But it was a personal delusion that he could live forever or that his vision for a post WWII world was probably more impossible to achieve than Woodrow Wilson’s failed vision.

That the Industrial Complex with it Bankers and Generals was the stuff that shaped the post WWII world more so than any textbook vision.

Stone somehow pretends that Stalin was a good domestic dictator and that a little better polite handling of that Russian peasant would have prevented the Korean War and by domino effect the Vietnam War, which Stone fought in. That is a true cloud of Oliver Stone fantasy and marijuana smoke.

That Stone’s Messiah in all this politics and real progress of the human race is Henry Wallace, FDR’s second Vice President who spoke a soft cloth coated Socialist rhetoric, who could have prevented the Cold War and the dropping of the two Atomic Bombs on Japan, stretches it a lot.

That Stone hates Truman and trashes him on an implied sexually confused level to make his manufactured Wallace Messiah more real and or palatable.

Truth is that Truman was a learning curve following FDR's death and Harry didn’t have a clue what FDR had in his mind for a post WWII world. 

The beast, the bureaucracy and the military/banker complex went forward on its own and from its maker FDR, pretty much the way it was designed to function, with or without him.

That Truman for all his lack of polish was a prissy kind of guy; he loved you or hated you kind of guy. The pettiness and prissiness got lost along with that perception in his thick Missouri Horse Shit accent.

That a Henry Wallace may have had a National American Healthcare System in place by 1950 in America but he would not have desegregated the military like Harry S Truman did, which in turn I think was a catalyst to the whole Civil Rights movement.

That the real tragedy of the extra information Stone supplies or blandly resurrects into common view is that the Japanese surrendered not because of the nuclear bombing of two of its cities but surrendered to the Americans rather than have the Russian invade their mainland as they in fact were ready to do.

That the endgame of military toy games in the U.S., made and used the atomic bombs against a background of indifference of a distant and out of touch Japanese hierarchy. 

A good question never asked by Stone is would FDR have used atomic weapons on Germany if they had been ready in place to use and to end that war?

The true tragedy is that nobody in power in the U.S. or Japan cared about the lost Japanese people of Hiroshima / Nagasaki and or their humanity that some or the rest of us care about now of those trapped tragic pawns, these many decades later. That says something significant about our own human evolution as reaction to the events Stone merely frames in his personal art gallery.

Better luck Olly on your next artistic endeavor whatever, puff, puff, it may be.
