NOVEL? BIOGRAPHY? HISTORY? the start of a simple story...

The Old Man sat in the chair.

We could say "his chair", and, if we were to be accurate, he wasn't actually sitting.  It was more a laying back in a chair designed for a desk, not to serve as a lounge of sorts.  To allow it to move, and grant it a touch more height, He had added omnidirectional wheel-globes to the legs.

The Old Man sat in the chair, being, as he had always been, alone in the company of his old friend and companion, the universe.  They had been together since sometime after he was born, and he was born sometime before the emergence of the energy which now seems so abundant that it grants no escape from its incessant motion.

His mind cleared, emptied, allowed him to glance at that which was when he first emerged.  Time stepped aside.  It had no purpose in his thoughts beyond its role of providing order to events which had emerged en masse and now  cried out to end, to change, to take on another direction another mode, another sequence,  another... another, when there is no other beyond the infinite others which could have been.

Why is it that he wanted to have regret?  What purpose, other than  the reminder that there are other realms, other choices, other existences in an existence where there is just one, and that one is alone.   What  is the purpose of being alone?

The Old Man sat in the chair, his mind drifting until the brief time he will see his children.

Children?   Do they exist?  Or are they just another imaged thought of an old man alone in a universe which exists only within his thoughts... those thoughts created all, but what created him?

The Old Man sat in the chair which might not exist.  What is existence?  Do I think?  Does that mean I am?  Or am I the thought of that which really exists and all this but a "dream sequence" -- the imaginings of a dreamer unseen, unknown, but assumed to exist by those who do not deny its existence?

The Old Man sat in the chair, the music playing "Fountains of Time" and he can hear in it another song  ... lyrics like, "The world is wide, I cannot see..."  or is it: "The water is wide and I can't cross over..."?

The Old Man sat in the chair too young to be old, but the chronology of his thoughts dictates his age -- even though his is an existence without age.

The Old Man sat in the chair, his thoughts drifting along on their journey through the possible possibilities of his existence, or his being the thoughts of some Old Man sitting in the chair which does not exist...  What adventure awaits them?  What journey through time and space in an existence where both time and space are merely a means of establishing order within an existence which needs disorder as much as order, joy as much as sadness, love as much as hate, and where all is perfectly imperfect to the point of total perfection.

The Old Man sat in the chair...  and the next phase of the adventure began.  If he is lucky, maybe he will tell himself about it.

The Old Man sat in the chair... and time moved forward, as he looked back through history -- to see where he should be going.

The Old Man sat in the chair... and nobody cared.  But then, there was nobody except those who were part of the dream, the thought experiment, the realm of possible possibilities in which The Old Man sitting in the chair might only be one.

The Old Man sat in the chair... and the day continued...

ISIS here’s what the plan is.

1. THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND

2. I AND MY FATHER AGAINST MY BROTHER,
    I AND MY BROTHER AGAINST MY COUSIN
    I AND MY COUSIN AGAINST THE WORLD.

The idiots that the Tea party (read: Koch Brothers et al) are pandering to are too stupid to understand those two Arab/Islamic concepts.

Obama has the advantage of having spent considerable time in the Islamic world (for which the devout, habitual, liars in the Tea Party routinely attack him)

When you represent the World, and are in conflict with an Arab group, the idea is to DIVIDE the cousins, not give them a reason to bond more closely together.

Trump, Cruz and the rest  would kill their women and children -- thus give the cousins a reason to bond tighter against their common enemy.  If France promotes broader attacks and does not stop with its destruction of  the destruction of the ISIS buildings,  the problem will escalate

Of course, I am betting that the idiots in the red states will promote escalation.   They need to.  Their clock is ticking and they need to destroy Washington before 7th of October 2016 -- so they can win in November.  (Yes there apparently was a reason for the idiotic eBible Fellowship book -- mostly to get you to ignore the pre-election threat.)

Ideally NOBODY CARES.  We actually want World War Three, or something approaching it.  Asia will sit it out -- China already has a 60 million man surplus that can be devoted to soldiers and thus defense.  So China, which is developing its production capacity and a solid capitalist base by lifting its poor our of poverty, is immune.

America (read: Tea Party,  Koch Brothers et al) is pushing its Middle Class into poverty -- with attacks on Social Security and Medical Care at a time when the Baby Boom is turning 70 and will expect the services/income it paid for.

How is the 7 October date derived?  It is the Day After the end of the current Hebrew Year -- a year that mathematically suggests the fall of Babylon the great city, in a system that already corresponds to 1929/Hitler, 1939/WW2, 2007-8//"Great Recession" and other dates/events we can test against.
 
The system is explained in: "Death Over Life: Secret of Revelation: A Prophecy of America's Destruction"
[http://www.amazon.com/Death-Over-Life-Revelation-Destruction/dp/1497427169]

Watch the attack on refugees expand into a reinvigorated attack on immigrants in general -- anything which can serve to weaken America.  The Saudis, who funded BUSH 41 & 43 also fund the terrorist groups -- bin Laden was one of their's, and from one of their most powerful families -- have worked hard to manipulate oil prices so America would deplete its reserves and thus have no fuel when the time comes (like German, when the tide of war turned because they had no oil access).  NOTE: They also oppose solar and wind or any form of renewable energy development -- all the better to weaken and disarm a nation that spends all its money on weapons systems which will, ultimately, be dependent upon Middle Eastern Oil reserves.

The long game for to 2030 -- so 15 years more ... assuming the Republican right-wing can both hold and enhance its current power position.  If the nation moves to the left, then the plans are worth less than burnt toast.  Just saying that ensures the push to the right ...

Yep.  The allies are The Tea Party and ISIS.

They are aligned with the BUSH clan to bring down America (remember Prescott Bush loved the Nazis and helped fund them, and the Saudis provided the Nazi oil until Allied forces cut the supply lines).

History is revealing.

You’ve Been Warned,

Now you are responsible.    

Radical Islam and Tea Party

Are we going to repeat 1929?  And 1933?

Then repeat 1939 and 1944/45?

Or is America going to set aside the idea of WMD’s and spending more on military murder machines that the next seven highest military spending nations combine?

Self defense is one thing, murdering elected leaders and instituting destructive “regime change” for short term corporate profits is another.

ISIS KNOWS, it need only kill a handful of people (ten percent of the number that American police have killed in the first ten months of 2015 alone), and that is all its Tea Party buddies need to justify murdering tens of thousands of innocent Muslims Women and Children.

The Hebrew Bible tells the story of Solomon discovering that what he thought was correct behavior to honor God was actually wrong – from that was derived the RULE OF SOLOMON:

You sin,

when you are told your actions are wrong

and you still do them.  

You’ve been told.

Global Population, Bible Mathematics and related Prophecy – Count OMER in with Fibonacci Sequence.

There is no exact means of establishing a starting date, and in this case the final year seems to be off by the number of Hebrew Tribes.

The Fibonacci Sequence depicted in the image is 7.8 Billion people in the year 2008 (it would be more accurate with possible adjustments, but there is neither practical, nor purpose, for that level of enhanced accuracy – after all, even the population numbers we use are just estimates).

Charting OMER, the Patriarch 49: The importance of Hebrew 49 and other matters

OMER is a number count 7x7 years with the 50th year as the celebration.  The Book of Revelation modified the Davidic Prophecy so that the original loss of half of all life became the loss of a third.  If that is true, and the reports from the scientific community would seem to support it, then we can expect the population to peak at 12.6 Billion and then reduce to around the 8.4 Billion mark.

We need not believe in mystical powers to assert there is a scientific and mathematical basis for the calculation.  It doesn’t matter if you are religious or a secular humanist – the reality seems to support the idea that the prediction is proving accurate.  We need to wonder about the Evangelical types who are not onboard with it – after all, it is what they have said they believe.   Why are they acting as if they don’t believe their own book?

Lactose Tolerance and Hebrews

A bit a a side entry into "Grandpa Was A Deity: How a Tribal Assertion Created Modern Culture"
The SCIENCE article, "Nomadic herders left a strong genetic mark on Europeans and Asians" [http://news.sciencemag.org/archaeology/2015/06/nomadic-herders-left-strong-genetic-mark-europeans-and-asians], points out that "Lactose tolerance was still rare among Europeans and Asians at the end of the Bronze Age, just 2000 years ago."
Given the time-frame, and the interaction between the milk of a cow and the meat of its calf when the latter is boiled in the former, lactose tolerance adds to the scientific explanation behind the dietary law prohibiting boiling meat in meat.
(Wall around Torah made it "No meat and Milk" but that is NOT the law, as shown by Abraham having cheese and meat meals for himself and his divine guests.) 
We do discover a reality -- Lactose Tolerance existed among the original Hebrews before it spread to the broader human population ... if it had not existed, then the laws from 3300 years ago would have prohibited the drinking of milk.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed a packed Congress Tuesday 3 March 2015 and uttered these words which are relevant to this book:
"For 2,000 years my people, the Jewish people, were stateless, voiceless... we suffered relentless persecution and horrific attacks...and we could not defend ourselves. Well, no more! The days when the Jewish people are passive in the face of threats to annihilate us, those days are over!"
The Prophecy -- in the Book of Revelation which many forget was written by Jews, for Jews [a matter covered in the book,  "SAINT PAUL'S JOKE: 'The Punch Line's A Killer'"] -- speaks of a 2,000 year period that would pass before the events would unfold.
As has been shown, using the Hebrew calendar system, the prophecy began with [Hitler] the White Horseman appearing in 1929, and moved on to the Red Horseman [World War Two] in 1939.
Since the emergence of Hitler, the events can be said to have played out on schedule -- the famed Christian "Rapture" (which they conveniently forget applied only to Jews belonging to the twelve tribes) having occurred in 1945 under the cloak of the Holocaust.
In 2007/8 The Great Recession complied with another prophecy; now, in 2015/16 we await the Fall of Babylon the great city -- which the author believes fits the description of modern Washington DC and discusses in the book, "Death Over Life: Secret of Revelation: A Prophecy of America's Destruction", where he held that the Republican Tea Party would be the cause of Washington's fall from it's leadership role.
In a Universe based upon freewill, the beauty of prophecy is that nothing is "predestined" -- even when it is "predestined".  A Tree might be destined to fall, but, knowing it will fall, does not mean you must be standing under it when it does. 
If the dates are known, the effect of the events can be altered.  There is no reason Babylon MUST be Washington -- it could be Moscow, Beijing, or, as the symbol infers, a Middle Eastern Capital ... such as Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the fall from power could mean an end to reliance upon Oil, or their power in OPEC.
Individuals make that choice.  The Republicans are making it in Washington, while ISIS seems to be affecting its relevance to the Middle East. 
This book asks the question, as a statement: "Biblical Prophecy: Are we in the Revelation Era".  The timeline it presents would seem to indicate we are and we are deeply into the Revelation Era.  Freewill allows individuals to ignore that possibility, and thus become the victims of its possible reality.

Part of the timeline referred to, along with two related pages from "Death Over Life: Secret of Revelation: A Prophecy of America's Destruction", can be found on PINTEREST.

Was Jesus a Drunk?

Love how they set up SAINT PAUL'S JOKE, deny one full book (Revelation) of their bible because 1) they believe their religion a sham and are preparing excuses to use in year 2100, when prophecy date has passed; 2) they do not want sinners to repent and so attempt to evade punishment or the conflict between washing sins away in manner used by Constantine the great; 3) need to fulfill prophecy, know that SAINT PAUL'S JOKE revealed reality (as every good Jew knows is mandated by rule of Solomon) and need to distract to keep the promised surprise.

American Birth Rate A Serious Problem

The United States birth rate dipped to 62.5 births per 1,000 women between ages 15 and 44, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  That is 10 percent lower than the birth rate in 2007, which was 69.3 per 1,000 women, and a record low since the government started tracking birth rates in 1909, when birth rate was 126.8.

Dippy numbers but they reflect the labor pool over the four decades beginning in 2025, and extending to 2065.  In 2025 the Baby-Boom generation will begin to die off, or basically be retired.

The  Baby-Boom generation covers a two decade long period which began in 1945 and extended to 1966 – as a result, it began to retire [age 62-70] between 2007 and 2015; that retirement will continue until the period 2028-2036.

Note the peak in Baby-Boom births was in 1964, which places the peak Social Security demand around 2026-2034.

Look at the way the year overlap.  Half the work life of the baby drought will be devoted to paying Social Security for the Baby-Boom generation.  But how will they expect to earn that money, and pay the debt-service on the National Debt?

In 2014 the interest alone was $430 Billion (roughly about twice what it had been in 1988).

In terms of actual births, 4.3 million births in 1957 and 1961 represent the maximum and correspond to the current rate – indicating a one to one ratio relative to those who will retire between 2019 and 2031.  But that ratio excludes all the others born in years other than 1957 & 1961.

 

If we look at the graph, those who retired prior to ‘75 were being supported by those born prior to 1934; those born in 1934 were retired by 1999 and supported by those born in 1955 – who will be retired by 2020.

Aside from the economics, America does not have soldiers.  Currently, the bulk of both male and female US population is between 49 and 58.

The numbers of those of  military age are dropping with the birthrate.  America cannot afford a war – in terms of active duty service personnel.  A war means taking people out of the economy, while building the National Debt – which means incurring debt while killing off those whose earnings are needed to pay both the existing liabilities and those associated with war.

To complicate things, the cost of oil is falling and thus the cost of gasoline, which will encourage increased gas usage, and accelerate the decline in American Reserves.  The United States started the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in 1975 as a response to the 1973-74 oil embargo.  in 2013, the USA had a 37 day reserve supply, based on 18.49 million barrels per day.  If it were effectively dry – which it will be in one or two decades – how long could America fight a war against the Islamic State and its vast oil reserves?

Shrinking resources, shrinking population – a Congress that is anti-immigration and exploring the defunding of Customs and Immigration Services … no Customs agent, means no imports and no business or tourist travel into the USA.

"Death Over Life: Secret of Revelation: A Prophecy of America's Destruction" 2015/16 marks the beginning of the end for American power, and the beginning of the era when the Televangelists get the famed End-of-Days they have been pushing for the past 50-60 years.

 

 

 

REVEALED: Why GOP opposes Immigration

Consider the rationale behind an nation built on immigration being opposed to immigrants:

First: America has an aging population in which most of the adults are Baby-boomers.  1. These adults are retired, or will be eligible to retire (and collect Social Security) within the next decade. 2. Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system which depends on young workers, of which there are fewer every year, hence the next for immigrant workers.

Second: American Baby-boomers have amassed a lot of real assets – not monetary, but real property and a range of collectables (including art and antiques).  These assets will be inherited by those who compose the shrinking worker demographic.

Third:  Outsourcing to  3rd world countries continues the creation of capital by the top 1%, while removing the base for continued growth in America.  Immigrants would contribute to that growth, provide new sources of income and solidify the economic situation for those who will retire and inherit the assets of those who pass.

By removing the young, foreign, work force, the Republicans have ensured that the Social Security system will collapse, and therefore place the heirs in a position where they must dispose of real assets at discounted prices in order to survive.  The rich, having outsourced their capital base could then come in and buy the real propriety and collectibles at a significant discount.

Once the those assets have been gathered into the hands of the 1%, they can open the gates and return immigrants to the nation.  These new immigrants will then amass money and pay a premium for the real property and status item collectables.  As a result, no-work profits are made by the Republican minority engineering the scam, while sinking their supporters who blindly worked for their own self-destruction.

THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE

as seen from a long-term perspective.

DEATH OVER LIFE – America falls beginning in 2015. 

Republicans want to “Fix Economy”

Stan Collender, executive vice president at Qorvis MSLGROUP, made this point about the GOP’s ability to use the country’s debt as an issue: “The deficit just doesn’t have the political cache it had before, because one, it’s falling, and two, it’s falling precipitously.

Thus we know that the Republican Party would be upset – If the deficit keeps falling, they cannot double and redouble the National Debit and continue to weaken America.

DEATH OVER LIFE says the Republican Party will be, and must be, voted into Senatorial power, and Congressional power must increase.  This does not mean having a majority, it only means having enough Tea Party loyalists to paralyze the nation.

Just 26 days to go, and the nation votes.

Think of the horrors they face – Gasoline prices have dropped from the $4.00 range to $3.00 … and the with it,  economy is growing.  The unemployment rate appears to have stabilized in the [near normal and ideal] 6% range, thus GOP politicians  must take economic issues off the table – removing them from focus, except, as they are doing with Emily Ann Cain, to promote issues like the Keystone pipeline which threatens the agricultural breadbasket of the nation and, if successful, will rupture and destroy the major American export product.

All they have is the discredited Birther nonsense which denounces someone for allegedly being Kenyan (code word for BLACK) and falsely labels him a socialist, yet is seen to actively promote the eligibility of a known and self acknowledged Canadian Citizens  and son of a Communist Socialist soldier.   Fortunately, the GOP leaders have long known they are best heard by those with negative IQ’s.

Observation For Book In Progress [11 August 2014]

How could such a hierarchical, despotic system arise from egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies? First, they must represent, or be a deity.  Technology and  geography come into mutual play:
When agriculture was on the rise and deserts or physical barriers existed in an all-encompassing form, the cost of escaping the authority of a King, pharaoh, or other divinely authorized ruler would be excessive – it becomes a cost-benefit analysis.  "The cost of leaving could basically lock individuals into despotism."
Equality becomes a hierarchy – political and or religious, depending on the pre-existing egalitarian structure being converted.
Societies in which everyone is more or less equal divide into classes based upon the survival and manipulative skills of individuals. Clear leaders emerge, and among those leaders, one emerges with relatively absolute power and authority to make and enforce decisions – a pragmatic reality.  Egalitarianism & hierarchy  interact with new individuals vying for the top position, or to have their point of view accepted.  In some cases, the goal is to oppose all plans which do not bestow upon them absolute power.
Leaders who lead, rather than impose viewpoints or absolute  control which is contrary to the will of their followers, hold their base – those who are contrarian cause defection.  It becomes hard for individuals to stop following the leader, when the numbers of follower surpasses some critical mass and traditional customs and methods kick in.  Add limited resources which circulate along a defined food chain, and the pattern of leadership is maintained.
In Merchant societies, as in hunter-gatherer groups, despotic  individuals will eventually drive away the productive members who have been denied a voice in the management system.  They simply gets up and leave – or are chased away, in the misguided belief that they are a threat to the group who can easily be replaced.  The Jews in the Spanish expulsion were an irreplacable merchant class; in Hitler’s Germany, they were the scientists who ultimately won the war for Hitler’s opponents.
For leadership to sustain, the benefit of leaving must not exceed the benefit of remaining.  America is falling apart because, like the Jews under the Spanish Inquisition, it has made it beneficial for Merchants to leave – America has gone so far as to actually pay, create financial incentives, for them to leave.  In 1492, the Ottoman Turks created incentives for the Jews to come to their territory, at the same time Spain was creating incentives to leave Spain.  The result: the Ottoman Empire prospered and Spain plunged into depression – a depression which it recovered from due exclusively from the Jewish Merchants who were associated with and funded Columbus and the New World explorations.
Historically, Jews stand for Moral, Intellectual, Cultural, and Religious Freedom – they are intellectuals who placed Scholarship above Profit, and went so far as to make it a cultural mandate by creating a tribal system in which one merchant tribe was specifically charged with supporting the tribe of scholars, while the other ten tribes functioned in a manner which encouraged improvement to the point of gaining permission to join the ruling thirteenth tribe and pass to the leadership-scholar-merchant class.

Yet Another Tea Party Obama Issue

Effective 5 August 2014, it is obvious The Tea Party, and Ted Cruz, will need to scream liar liar pants on fire over the difference in claimed, or asserted age.

Given that they do have a consistent problem with reality and facts – why should this be different?

@KyleKulinski outs self as anti-Semite Nazi.

SECULAR TALK broadcaster, Kyle Kulinski outs self as Nazi Supervisor and closet anti-Semitic when attempting to refute Bill Maher in broadcast entitled “Bill Maher Fellates Israeli Attacks On Gaza”

Short version: Israel always wins against Arabs because America and other nations give it money – but deny that money to Gaza Terrorists sworn to destroy Israel and all Jews around the world.  Note that it was Hitler who set the standard which Kyle both advocating and using to belittle Maher.

According to Kyle – if we want equality – we either stop funding Israel, or provide equal funds to Gaza Terrorist.

1. Cut funding – Israel is over run and all Jews there are killed (roughly 1.5 million).  Then, in accordance with their charter and Constitution, the Gaza terrorists and their buddies attack every nation where there are Jews and kill all remaining Jews (about 5 million).  Those who read the Koran know it also mandates the killing of Christians – Kyle is a devout Atheist so would support that too.

2. Fund the Gaza Terrorists - Israel is over run and all Jews there are killed (roughly 1.5 million).  Then, in accordance with their charter and Constitution, the Gaza terrorists and their buddies attack every nation where there are Jews and kill all remaining Jews (about 5 million).  Those who read the Koran know it also mandates the killing of Christians – Kyle is a devout Atheist so would support that too.

Gee that was easy, cut and paste the same outcome.

It is clear that @KyleKulinski should be @KyleKulinskiNazi.

Addressing statements in @KyleKulinskiNazi broadcast:

Interesting -- KYLE is arguing for more money and weapons for the Arabs in Gaza so they can fulfill their NAZI CONSTITUTION -- Pure Hitler -- kill the Jews is their charter.
Gee... and it is hope it works ... dad or uncle launches missiles kid dies. Kyle specifically argued that if you committed murder and hid behind your sister, brother or father and kept shooting at the cops, it's the cops fault if your sister, brother or father died in the exchange which killed you. Kyle's argument is that you can hide behind your sister and kill as many people as you want.
Funny -- Gaza is a coastal "nation" with great beaches ... if they didn't spend their time and money being Nazis, (OK Kyle would be unhappy but) They would have one of the more prosperous tourist nations on the planet ... they have the sun, beach and proximity to ancient Biblical sites and are on the Friggin' Mediterranean and get tourist ships from every prosperous nation in Europe (except Germany).
OH and according to Wikipedia -- Bill was wrong -- Arabs got six Nobel's
► Egyptian Nobel laureates (4 P)
► Palestinian Nobel laureates (1 P)
► Yemeni Nobel laureates (1 P)
As for Jews, Wiki states they got 28 times as many (170): "Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 850 individuals,[2] of whom at least 20% were Jews or of Jewish descent, although Jews comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population,[3] (or 1 in every 500 people). Overall, Jews have won a total of 41% of all the Nobel Prizes in economics, 28% of medicine, 26% of Physics, 19% of Chemistry, 13% of Literature and 9% of all peace awards."
So 2% Jewish, vs 5% of the world Arab world population in region around Israel -- Islamic population? 23 percent of the total global population of 6.8 billion. So ten times as many Islamic -- they should have won ALL the Nobel Prizes and been owed an equal number more... instead, apparently by accident, they got SIX.

Lost a wedding ring, wedding band

Here's a query.
go bad to the NYC subway into Brooklyn, time: c.1969/70. ... on train going between Court Street and Coney Island ... lost at Court Street station... dropping on train as exiting, doors closed before realized.
a gold wedding band ... about a quarter inch wide, ... white gold "cuts" around the band.
Reward if returned ...
Ok, 45 years and probably long gone ... but stranger things have happened.

God MUST exist–as a definition not a being.

I've mentioned this several times.
There is a difference between "GOD" and deities of mythical origins.
The "GOD" comes from the reality that: thousands of years ago humans realized you cannot get something from ABSOLUTE nothing; so, if there is something, it had to have an origin.
The rational problem that emerged is that of infinity -- there is always one more step, one more element or source, and you can never get to "ABSOLUTE nothing" ... thus the universe and existence was designated as a circle whose starting point is hidden in the line defining the circle.
But that still left the "ABSOLUTE nothing" from which the circle emerged --that was designated GOD ... or, as the ancient Egyptians stated it, "The self begotten beginning".
God exists because energy and matter exist.
The idea that there must be design or intent is inferred, but not at all necessary for the existence of God.
Basically, God does not need to know we exist or even care.
The rules of nature are such that they create and destroy many things -- none of which are "necessary".  Thus "divine retribution" is a given for all forms of matter (humanity, and life in general, being just a form of matter and energy with only the energy portion being the ultimate indestructible.).

IF MONEY EQUALS “free” SPEECH

It is a valid point.  I would take exception to some of Kyle's phrasing.
The argument is this: If I can talk you in to doing something, or express an opinion on something, it is equally valid if I say it, write it, or use money to express it.
Therefore, if I can "woo" a girl into bed, buy her candy/flower/jewelry/diner/drinks to get her to bed, then it follows that I can just hand her the money to achieve the same goal and objective (QED Prostitution is a date where the girl rather than a third party get the money).
Now the same argument goes down the line -- I can give the money to a third party -- a PAC or something -- therefore I can give it directly to the beneficiary of that third party function, with the same strings attached, or same objective in mind.
Money is speech and there is no rational justification to have a third party relay the message in some instances and not in others.  As with any law, the burden is on the legislature to establish an overwhelming social benefit in restricting speech (transfer of finances).  HUM!  Interesting idea -- if two parties are forbidden contact by the court, no money transfer (speech) is allowed.  Therefore, the Supreme Court ruling also forbids Alimony and child support where a protection or, or no contact order, exists.

Effectively, the child support orders and alimony are court ordered speech of a specific type and nature – equivalent to ordering someone to proclaim the validity of, and support for, an enemy government.

It will be fun to see how this plays out …

Pope Francis to Shun Popemobile on Mideast Trip: Vatican – because he read Saint Paul’s Joke

Because he read “Saint Paul’s Joke” – which is part of the official Vatican Archives -- Pope Francis I is going to Shun Popemobile on Mideast Trip.

Why?

The 900 year old St Malachy Prophecy said the Benedict was the last but one in the lines of popes.  Rome is to be destroyed in period of 112th Malachy Pope.

So … if you want to break the prophecy resign and the 112th Pope survives.  Or, the true 112th pope comes after him and Rome survives – the Vatican survives, and the religion survives.

If Francis IS the 112th pope, he is INVINCIBLE.  He must be alive when Rome is destroyed – or the Malachy prophecy is broken.  So, the worst thing that can happen, Francis is assassinated and the prophecy is broken.  But it all depends on whether of not Francis qualified as an ‘anti-pope’ … a pope who is not really official.  There have been several in history and they have not disrupted the Malachy list.

“Saint Paul’s Joke” – Francis must behave like Peter to be the Peter of the prophecy.  He must also die after Pope Benedict, or he could qualify as an anti-pope within the tradition of papal succession.   Thus, so long as Benedict lives, and Rome is not destroyed, Francis is INVINCIBLE.  He has no need for a popemobile.

Why Washington DC will fall

“Death Over Life” is the choice of the destruction of Washington DC (possibly “Babylon the great city” in the Book of Revelation) and the continued survival of America as a great nation.

Those who read “Death Over Life” and/or “The Tea Party: America upended” know where the problem lies and what needs to be done before 2015 to prevent the prophecy from applying to America.

For the world – it really doesn’t matter … assuming, in economic terms, they position themselves properly.

America hates education – the Creationist movement proved that.

first solar eclipse of 2014

New report “the first solar eclipse of 2014. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between Earth and the sun.  Total eclipses, which produce the “diamond ring” effect, happen when the moon is closer to Earth and precisely covers the sun. For annular eclipses, the moon is a tiny bit further from earth, but still fits within the sun’s disc and has a skosh more room. Thus a “ring of fire” forms around moon’s silhouette.”

This is a non-central annular eclipse – and in the 5,000-year period from 2000 B.C. to 3000 AD, the earth only sees 68 non-central versions out of 3,956 annular eclipses.

“Death Over Life” – aside from the Four Blood Moons which occur on Hebrew Holidays between April 2014 and September 2015, we now have a one in 58 occurrence of this type of eclipse … narrow it down to the number until 2100AD and we are looking at something closer to 1:56 … where 56 is an important astronomical number in terms of ancient Stonehenge and the Book of Genesis … as was explained in the book “Genesis of Genesis”.

Get ready to see “Saint Paul’s Joke” in action – The Vatican and Rome are coming into the sniper’s sights.
