'sup shlarts?
hello dildonicuses...(that's latin)....
so I was toying with the idea of writing a radio play like what you sometimes hear on radio shows and such like -- with melodrama and stuff -- loosely based on the idea of an episode of law and order - special victims unit investigating paedos in Hollywood, especially in light of recent statements from the actor Elijah wood about the topic.......... but I was only half-heartedly caring about it --- generally considering Hollywood sordid and nasty in general and eschewing cinema and tv almost altogether these days, for that reason......
then driving home after a paltry two days of work on Friday night, after having the first three days of the week off, o'reilly was asking if someone could explain the notion of
gender neutrality classes to him or something like that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAE7uOO_4v4
sorry wrong video, was just ruminating on how 'sin' means blue and son in Bulgarian -- but 'without' in Spanish
this is actually the video of carey's that explains the gender neutrality thing o'reilly, very succinctly explained too, watch:

continuing - blavatsky vs sweedenborg
continuing with the topic of existence after physical death and sin and evolution generally, we'll take a look at the theosophical perspective and how it may differ or dovetail to that of sweedenborg which we have outlined in the last post briefly......... the theosophists, headed by blavatsky in the 19th century, get a lot of their information from india and a lot of the ancient indian teachings....... i've been studying them myself since age 16, on and off, and am somewhat familiar with their different terminologies from hindu and sanskrit, however, i have not found, in any way really,
that this has helped me have some kind of common bond with the average hindu i've met in india or elsewhere like America or australia.... generally i conclude that hindus are not given to socialize or marry outside of their race, that they generally do not seem to have an understanding of their own religious tradition..... that they are given to caste societies, patriarchal structures, endemic rape and abuses amongst their own cultures........ the indian govt. confirms this by releasing a report stating half of all children in india are victims of sexual abuse through someone relatively close to the family unit in most cases, not outright strangers, there are entire websites set up by NGOs for tracking abuses of this kind in India...... while there may be interest in india for some old traditions from hinduism and suchlike, there's nothing to show me personally that there is a serious understanding of their tradition.... in any case, the highest class there, the brahmins, typically kept all their knowledge and secrets for themselves..... a similar thing happens
with the vatican where various secrets are kept and not shared with the mainstream catholics or anyone else........
the good news is that now everything's available through blavatsky: just google
blavatsky.net and read her secret doctrines one and two and you're on the way anyway, with regard to death.... blavatsky teaches, as passed on to her by two cosmis masters, koot hoomi and morya (master morya's teachings are also available in a separate form at www.agniyoga.org).... that the nature of humans is sevenfold, and the three highest principles cannot enter their proper heaven, which in hindu is called devachan (which is actually a mixture of hindu and tibetan as blavatsky's masters koot hoomi and morya were probably incarnate at the time of helping her as tibetan monks in tibet in the 19th century)..... the three highedevst principles of the man, which are spiritual in nature and always survive death to eternity, go to a heaven called devachan where they exist in a kind of blissful fantasy state where their highest hopes and ideations as humans on earth are fulfilled and enhanced.... dead mothers can be with their children like this in a blissful state, even if their children are actually alive on earth at the time.....
however, before a soul can go to devachan, it has to pass through kama-loka (another hindu term)..... kama loka is an astral world of desires (something you might visit in a dream state)..... perhaps it is this world that sweedenborg reports he has visited in out of body states which he refers to as hell...... in this world of desires, kama loka, everybody's
4th principle or astral body, must be spent out..... somewhat analagous to a chicken that has its head cut off and keeps running around and twitching, this 4th body continues to exist despite not having a soul to animate it...... in exceptional cases of black magicians and seriously evil people like hitler, it might last in this kama-loka state for centuries and even take power to itself by influencing sensitive or crazy people on earth or mediums that do spirit channelling..... Blavatsky and masters koot hoomi and morya are very much against medium channelling for this reason.... they posit that the mediums on earth are only communiting with the astral double or 4th principle of the person and not at all with
their soul which has gone on to devachan...... in the kama loka world conditions as described by blavatsky are very similar to what sweedenborg describes as hell: a place with brothels, whores, adulterers, etc
with regard to the world's large population, blavatsky or her explainers posit that there is now less time between incarnations than even in her own century, as the world's population has grown 6 billion in 120 years.... sweedenborg describes the after death states as timeless states, so really, somebody could probably go through kama loka (briefly if they are relatively sin free) and then devachan and reincarnate all in the space of five years or less i would definitely imagine...
with regard to sensuality and materialism and sin, it is generally regarded as an impediment to successful and happy reincarnations and positive stays in the afterlife between incarnations.... it's often difficult to discuss them without appearing hypocritical or lofty....... i can definitely say i personally have committed adultery (meaning like I got with married women or divorced women before I got married and did stuff with women in my mind and stuff after I got married), consorted with prostitutes, fornicated a plenty, and abused drugs like pot and alcohol........ christianity generally teaches to repent, so recognize and repent..... possibly make atonement and move on......
another thing blavatsky explains is human evolution, for example, 'adam' from the old testament refers to the mankind that existed prior to 18 million years ago when humankind was sexless and androgynous, over a very long period a separation was made and eventually their were two sexes with the normal sexual reproduction we know of today beginning to occur around
18 million years ago with the atlanteans..... some occultists believe that the citizens of the united states, past, present and future, primarily draw from souls that were incarnate in the great nation of atlantis which was technologically in advance of america today.......... when the bible refers to God taking a rib from adam and creating eve, this refers to the split in the sexes as just mentioned around 18 million years ago..... earlier in this blog we mentioned Blavatsky saying that the united states has as it's glorious mission to sow the seeds of the sixth root race of manking (there are 7
in total, with the lemurians being the 3rd, the atlanteans being the 4th - some 18 million - 15 million years ago, approx. and today's man, the 5th root race - the aryan, for want of another term) - however this was not accurate, what she actually said was that we are currently in the 5th subrace of the 5th root race and that the united states will sow the seeds of the sixth subrace of the 5th root race......... anyone that cannot see that the united states in not at the vanguard of human evolution is an imbecile, evidently..... in any case, blavatsky states that in thousands of years time, American styled humanity will be predominant, which means, in all likelihood, one would think, that the majority of humans will be as is common in america today: a hybrid of various races...... in fact, black americans that aren't part 'white', are very racially stylized in that they represent features and hybridization of various african gene pools that wouldn't be found in africa today at all and it's the same with the whiteys that aren't part Hispanic indian or black or chinese or whatever, they're often hybridizations of various Europeans tribes like danes, germans, English, etc
while this is common in America it's still uncommon in the rest of the world..... china, india, japan, Indonesia, Africa, the middle east, completely incapabale of breeding outside of their own race...... culture is clearly not helping them in that regard.......... in spain it is the same thing, I think I've met less than five Spaniards, myself included, that have bred outside of their own race.......... although of course the Spaniards bred somewhat outside of their own race in south America over various centuries........
returning to the notion of an extremely malevolent entity of the 4th principle of a person, staying on in kama-loka, we might consider the case of hitler again --- the higher three spiritual principles that inhabited a personality like hitler, giving him life and soul, cannot be perverted or subdued by sin and evil because they are so holy and high that it's not possible, therefore they survive death, go to devachan, enjoy a paradise there and then can reincarnate............ however the evil 4th principle may end up some kind of phantom in kama-loka which could foreseeably come back to hitler's reincarnation to haunt him within the next few hundred years -- like a ghost or phantom

earth's magnetic poles are shifting
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012-poleReversal.html
most people wouldn't be aware that earth's magnetic poles shift periodically, according to modern scientists, every 780,000 years on average...... benji has been aware of this for well over a decade due to being a reader of Blavatsky (www.blavatsky.net) since teenage years....... I think from recent memory, after having researched the topic on youtube, that the scientists are saying we are due for a change as the last occurred 800,000 years ago. Scientists are able to measure dust, lava residues dating back millions of years to study previous changes............. it seems there was a change 15 million years ago (so around 20 cycles ago) that occurred very quickly............ one theory on youtube states we are in the midst of another quick change that will accelerate this winter (in the southern hemisphere) which will start in around a month and go on for three months where the poles will rapidly flip over............
ultimately this means that the majority of the world's people living in the northern hemisphere will celebrate Christmas in summertime as we Australians have been doing for some time........ thus as we Australians have become accustomed to Christmas tree ornaments and trinkets depicting winter scenes, since Christmas is just the Christian church readapting the ancient practice of celebrating the winter solstice which occurs around December 21st and which was always a 'pagan' holiday........ obviously the bible refers to Jesus' birth happening at a time when shepherds were in the fields with sheep and anyway Jesus was born in early October, around the 4th or 5th and was a Libra, not, like Buddha, some kind of sagitarius or Capricorn born in December............
but these are the least of your concerns: a blazing hot summer with Christmas tree trinkets depicting holly and snowmen and suchlike -- in fact, here in Australia, we love having our summer holidays and warm weather and do not regret the snow and ice motifs of the Christmas holiday............
a more serious concern would be: can cancer and other negative effects from solar rays and cosmic rays damage my family or loved ones or nation or community when the earth's protective magnetic sphere is shut down or inactive or ineffective as has already occurred now as measured by scientists various times, for example, for two hours at a stretch, leaving earth completely vulnerable to all kinds of nasty solar flares and cosmic rays? could zika virus be an onflow effect from this shut down of the earth's protective magnetic sphere? why is FEMA (the united states federal emergency management agency) building millions of coffins and concentration camps for millions of people to stay there under martial law? Is it just because of stuff like hurricane katrina or are they worried about the effects of the magnetic poles shifting?
regardless of where you'd like to dig a hole full of your gold ingots and if you're interesting in flying to the equatorial regions for a while for safety, it's as good a time as any to consider your mortality....
your humble benji is quietly working behind the scenes crunching through pages and pages of Arcanum and learned lore of the wise, to regurgitate it all to you in a few takeaway sound bites that you can fit in between Zumba classes and nibbles on sushi, so let's get to it:
death, what does it hold in store for little old moi?
first of all, immediately after dying, you will certainly be conscious and alert, even if you were in a coma, you will be woken up or attended to by angels and spend a period comparable to an earth year where you will be evaluated and evaluate things for yourself amongst countless other egos like yourself, also from our earth, past and present........ there you will have the same body as you have now in a spiritual sense: spiritual eyes, arms, legs, etc......... if you were incapacitated, you will be restored....... you will essentially be the same person you were before you died, with your same cherished beliefs, etc.............. in this immediate phase after death in the world of the spirits, to quote sweedenborg, you will be sorted out for heaven or hell............. your religious beliefs and philosophical beliefs with regard to life after death, metaphysics, etc, will play a big role here as they will be with you................ if you are wicked, in the sense that you're egotistical and do not care about the whole but mostly just the individual, you'll prefer hell over heaven and wouldn't like heaven and will end up in hell........... on the contrary, if you're good and care about uses that are good for the whole and not for yourself individually, you will go to heaven
if you've been an adulterer, you will likely prefer hell.....anyway your intentions are judged practically as actions in the afterlife, so even drooling over 'milfs' can make you an adulterer...... anyway, make it your business to get your hands on a copy of sweedenborg's 'heaven and hell' and read that.........start there........ you can download the pdf free and read it on your phone, just google it..... despite sweedenborg never mentioning reincarnation, the option is open to reincarnate, however if numbers on earth are drastically lowered by weather events, then the opportunity to reincarnate significantly lowers......... but you'll still be able to live in heaven or hell anyway
and a quick heads up to Hilary for the sake of fairness: your position on gun ownership rights, while demonstrating you are a principled person, to some extent, is ultimately losing, like shooting yourself in the foot..... consider shifting position

Superbowl 50
halfway through the first quarter, cotchery clearly catches the ball, for Carolina panthers. Destiny is clearly thwarted there as the pass is ruled incomplete even with an on screen challenge. Broncos immediately go on to score a touchdown. That was all wrong.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/08/sports/football/jerricho-cotchery-darian-stewart.html?referer=
with around four minutes left there is a taunting penalty awarded the panthers, is that because people realized the previous pass mentioned was really caught?

coding in java, lessons learnt, assimilating knowledge
ok here's my biggest program so far:
actually it doesn't all fit in there but it's nothing very special
the first thing you notice about java is that there is no auto-correction..... they didn't have that either in the late 80s or early 90s when my last bout of coding like this occurred, however, apparently, some coding programs have that now like visual basic or c+ or whatever, not sure which ones have it, but java doesn't..... hard to understand why java doesn't incorporate it into future models as it is such a wide ranging industry standard language now, as big as apple hardware - like I-phones, but in the software world
so with no auto correct, if you just make one little mistake, there's nothing to tell you what's wrong, for example, a lot of commands or lines have to end with a semi-column, but sometimes they don't! depending on the situation.... that's annoying
anyway, it's early days and it's still just baby steps for now so we'll see how that goes in a few months time

in the mood for baseball?
catching the Detroit tigers for the second time now, at the bus depot. The first time was at one of the nyc stadiums like Yankee stadium, which was a pleasant experience in all.... The Strasburg guy pitching for some Washington team is really good. His balls spin around and drop a lot, very hard to hit. Very impressive .
pitching.
btw, those recent posts about what a great idea to meddle with nature and insert some man made genetically modified virus to decimate an annoying mosquito population. Oops, maybe not so good. One theory goes that the zika virus outbreak is because of an attempt to mess with nature like that in north eastern Brazil
Roberts: welcome back to espn, it's the 9th inning, the bases are loaded..... it's a glorious October day, unless you're a Yezidi in which case...
Vazquez: oucho - is that how you say ouch in Spanish?
Roberts: ha ha -- i'm joined by former Venezuelan national league player and former yankee shortstop tony Vazquez............
Vazquez: hey most of those Yezidi teenage girls got raped, and their dads got shot, but isn't it great to know if they ever make it to America they'll be free to get transgender surgery and use a public bathroom that corresponds to their new gender type?
Roberts: that's freedom
Vazquez: amen to that

when i'm president.... in a future lifetime........
or if i'm ever president of America, in some future lifetime when i'm born there and so eligible.... i'd like to effect those ideas of writing letters to congresswomen and maybe some congressmen too.... but i'd use craft stuff like macaroni (dry) and cotton balls and glue and stick it all onto a 3-d collage styled letter...... using the word 'dude' and the term ''n stuff' liberally.......... just sayin'.... oh and there'd be like room on the page to stick a photo of Jethro from the beverly hillbillies --- look out for that in around 300 years times.... if some American president does that in the next 1000 years, it will probably have been me.... in a future lifetime

politics! it's all in the hips
was listening to this song on the short drive home from work....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5FCdx7Dn0o
was watching fox news morning show live a few moments ago there at the bus depot where they have cable tv (we don't have that at home) for about an hour.... sometimes I might watch Russia today channel as well as a counterbalance.....
so hemmer and mccallum were showing an interview from earlier with o'reilly and trump about what trump would do if he were president and the Russian fighter jet is buzzing a u.s. warship and Trump starts with his promises, promising the moon..... I would have said straightaway: pick up the phone, call Putin, or his successor, who i'd have an excellent working relationship with, and get them to stop doing that and maybe apologize............... then karl rove starts talking about it and I was about to start blogging about it right there but then he finally said, 'call vladimir' so I figured ok, nevermind
karl rove really knows what he's talking about......... also, if you recall when Boehner retired, w. bush called him a master of the legislative process.......... obviously, a lot of politicking in any democracy is 'sexy' p.r. stuff and kissing babies and a lot of tv appearances and stuff, but really, i'd be surprised if Trump could lucidly explain how the legislative process works exactly............. I probably couldn't myself........ all I know is that a bill is introduced, normally by the representatives who are voted in every two years and then it gets looked at by the lower house, voted on, sent to the senate, there are about three opportunities for the senate (who's voted in every six years) to send it back with amendments......... finally it can be sent to the president for ratification, the presidency in America has great power so the president can just veto anything........... there's an interesting episode of the brady bunch that explains all of that
obviously then too there are a lot of very old, working relationships in the congress (upper and lower houses), although in some cases, every two years, there are fresh faces............ there are many competing interest groups and lobbyists and what not, trying to influence individual representatives........ the laws are sometimes unclear as to what is legal in this regard or no.......... obviously Trump would know a lot more about it than I would as he has been donating money to all kinds of politicians for a long time and working with them and such......... on the other hand, it's hard to imagine a busy guy like that with time to watch c-span a lot, which is also incredibly boring.... some of these hearings they have where they drag some raggedy arse executive billionaire out there to testify and he just pleads the 5th and it just drags on and on --- so boring --- Nietzsche did say democracies are boring and authoritarian regimes are more interesting........ democracy is politics by committee so it's somewhat boring --- the media like to pretend that they're controlling public opinion and such but the public opinion on the tv is something amorphous and somewhat unreal, like a loch ness monster or something ---- most people don't have time to read long and intricate and well-researched and thoughtful articles in the online newspapers - that explain various issues in depth........... often the media are sidetracked by insignificant things like murders and minor terror attacks and don't see the big things coming like 9/11 or the water crisis in flint or whatever, even though there are warning signs building up.........
recently, around 9 days ago, a little mini-spiral current in the media in America was the notion that college educated government expert foreign policy wonks half the time don't know what they're talking about --- possibly as a result of Trump saying he'd consider getting advice from someone with a lousy cv --- I wouldn't go this far to say this myself, as a master or doctorate degree in foreign policy from a good American university does speak volumes.......... let's quickly talk about that now, obviously I don't have any kind of degree in foreign policy --- so I couldn't tell you even from memory how the u.n. can ratify something like the war in Iraq in 2003 with a veto from Russia or china........... I would say from memory, when bush went there requesting a war in Iraq, that Russia and china abstained..... I'm fairly certain if I googled it, that's what i'd find...... although I could be wrong, I couldn't even be bothered googling it, happy just to show my ignorance, seeing that i'm just a bus driver and all.............anyway, we're only mentioning this in light of having recently suggested on this blog, I can't understand why American policy doesn't seek to fortify the kurds in northern Iraq to the extent of declaring their own statehood.... possibly this may not be possibly with a chinese veto in the u.n. but I guess that didn't really stop Israel............ this would give the kurds in turkey an opportunity to mass migrate over to their own state if it were a bona fide nation......... of all the mainstream media, only Russia today has been covering the atrocities of the Turkish govt. against the kurds in turkey.......... obviously for msnbc and cnn, today show, etc, it's easier to talk about taylor swift --- a few days ago I was watching an nbc today interview with matt lauer and some guy that wrote a book on howard hughes or some such shut-in eccentric American billionaire --- it was at that time that a first jumbo jet flew into the world trade centre and really, you can tell by this example and basically everyday, that these tv journalists in America are not exactly rocket scientists, regardless of how smart they may be off camera
Trump seems the same way when it comes to legislative process........ his strong points seem to be he's very practical and has a willingness to get things done with a minimum of fuss......... Clinton on the other hand really knows how all the govt. stuff works..........she's been a senator -- frankly when I was living in nyc and hanging out with one of my buddies in manhattan who happened to be a gay fellow, and he showed me his entire building that was full of gay men with aids and told me the ny state govt. was picking up the tab for all their medications and rent, that's all I need to see to know I don't like Clinton's policies............. but i'll admit that she would know a lot more than trump would about legislative process, how things get done in Washington, etc...... probably trump is making a lot of people nervous there because he's coming across like happy Gilmore and they're all a bunch of shooter mcgavins........... Trump should get a crash course in all that stuff asap and then he can actually talk like he knows what he's talking about because he's always just making promises and other republicans just think he's unqualified/incompetent......... strange to say, he's actually fit to be president though, with some quick preparation which he has time for......... can you imagine how hard chris Christie's tail would be wagging if trump asked him to be his vp pick? I can see him blushing now and lifting one leg in the air like a woman being kissed and saying, 'moi? little old me?'....... ha ha ---- I wouldn't suggest anyone to trump myself but if I were him i'd start spending all kinds of money hiring people like karl rove that have contacts and understanding of how all that world works..........
it's funny how a CEO can just walk into a new corporation that deals with a product he has no experience with and just be the boss, but it's not clear that that's the case with politics in Washington......... I mean, putting aside all the tv interviews and media and late night talk show hosts and all that stuff, press conferences..... and just thinking about how those people go about their business every day, catching the little mini train or whatever they have in the capitol to go vote on something, or being too busy with something else to vote or going to dinners and talking politics all evening, all the stuff they actually do when they're in Washington --- Clinton sure has a lot of experience with that stuff........... it's looking pretty interesting though, even though democracies are boring
oh yeah, forgot to mention health care.... trump says he prefers the states to decide that stuff.... that means he's going to have to repeal Obamacare as that is a federal legislation and the supreme court has ratified the federal govt's ability to legislate on that superseding the state's rights (questionable decision) - so trump should take a position on that same as ted cruz and say it clearly, he can't just kind of mince around making promises and evading clearly defined positions and expect to win the presidency, it just won't cut the mustard......... if he's going to build a wall, deport people and then let them come back in legally, that's fine because at least he's saying something loud and clearly defined, people understand that and like it or not........ a lot of people are in shock with that stuff but screw their shock ---- trump needs to know exactly what he wants and state it clearly, understanding of course that that may or may not be possible depending on the outcome of senate and representative elections
see the senate vote in 2016 is due too:
Elections for the United States Senate will be held on November 8, 2016, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections whose winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2017 until January 3, 2023. All class 3 Senators are up for election; class 3 was last up for election in 2010, when Republicans won a net gain of six seats. Currently, Democrats are expected to have 10 seats up for election, and Republicans are expected to have 24 seats up for election. Special elections may also be held to fill vacancies that occur during the 114th United States Congress. Republicans, having taken control of the Senate in the 2014 election, currently hold the Senate majority with 54 seats.
see I don't know anywhere near as much as karl rove about all this stuff, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the 24 republicans with seats up for re-election are just sweating right now, worried shitless about Donald trump and if he'll cause them to lose their seats............if I were trump i'd find out how many old school republicans with decades of experience in politics he can start building any kind of dialog with, like hiring them as advisors or something ...... it's just a cadre of old dudes out there that have been in politics for decades......... look at Donald Rumsfeld, the guy first started there in Washington 1963! that's a really long time ago -- he probably got voted in for two years at the time I guess and that's how he got started and he was secretary of defense as recently as 2006 so really, that's over 40 years in politics..... Washington is just full of old dudes like that just kind of waddling around with secretaries with their arms spilling over with files and policy wonks and advisors trailing them and briefing them on their way to their next meeting....... I mean, trump really has to cozy up with all this kind of establishment somehow, he can't just watch happy Gilmore in the plaza hotel and hope they'll call him up and bring popcorn, he has to make stuff happen for himself or he would totally lose -- that's my understanding

this documentary on trump (by history channel) is interesting -- didn't know he tried running an airline..... reminds me of my holiday to Fiji a few years ago before we had kids --- we were a happier couple in those days, the whiffy and I ---- what a great little resort we found on the south (coral coast) -- the library had a biography of Richard branson of virgin airlines --- very smart guy -- he started with only one airplane..... he banked everything on that and really killed it --- normally I wouldn't read random books like that but in the right setting, it was a really good read -- the guy did a lot of hot air ballooning, was lucky his balloon never got shot down..........
now they're talking about dan quayle in the trump documentary --- one of my ex girlfriend's dad was telling me how he played a hole at golf with dan quayle -- can you believe that? he was a u.s. air force guy this guy............. anyway, yeah, Richard branson, there's an Englishman you can really admire............ (they're few and far between! ha ha)
i'll tell you a few years ago, I started talking to a coffee provider for various cafes and he was saying there was a hole in the wall coffee place selling for 15k and available for purchase --- I would have liked to have bought it and had a go at running it -- I certainly had the means --- but with this wife -- I can't do anything half the time, it seems....... or probably could but didn't care --- as much as i'd like to be entrepreneurial, just don't care -- but it's interesting ..... my grandfather had a very entrepreneurial bent -- he made a lot of money selling concrete after the civil war in spain and then had a few little coal mines in Asturias -- I saw the remains of them once -- my father was telling me how he'd pay the workers on behalf of his dad (the coal miners) -- he also had shares in some company that produced sleeper carriages for the train lines and the 'urugallo' restaurant in madrid he owned, it's still there now near puerta del sol... both my parents worked behind the bar there for a while ----

if I were Trump i'd be drafting a letter to all the republican senators offering them to call on him to help them with their re-election campaigns, regardless of the outcome of the presidential election..... without offering specifics -- just sounding cordial and stuff.......... can't wait to see the debates with Hilary, ha ha ha!..... so many snooty republicans don't like him, it's really funny
can you imagine the responses??? a dead horse's head in bed next to Donald from senator so and so with a note pinned to its head: die bitch!
that's so funny, wanting to ban all the muslims, but any good muslim knows that it's perfectly kosher to tell lies in a certain situation, like about ted cruz's dad being a terrorist rapist or whatever...... and building a wall -- wow that's going to be interesting
here's a trump quote: 'Hilary Clinton created isis with Obama!'
that's exactly how the Russians feel!
hey and guess what, since Trump is banning muslims and Mexicans, why not ban meal breaks at the CIA!???? right? they could all wear a little chaff bag around their necks like horses and then just kind of eat granola and chew while they work --- that's so funny..... how about knock down their hq and build a golf course there! ha ha ha

was watching fox news morning show live a few moments ago there at the bus depot where they have cable tv (we don't have that at home) for about an hour.... sometimes I might watch Russia today channel as well as a counterbalance.....
so hemmer and mccallum were showing an interview from earlier with o'reilly and trump about what trump would do if he were president and the Russian fighter jet is buzzing a u.s. warship and Trump starts with his promises, promising the moon..... I would have said straightaway: pick up the phone, call Putin, or his successor, who i'd have an excellent working relationship with, and get them to stop doing that and maybe apologize............... then karl rove starts talking about it and I was about to start blogging about it right there but then he finally said, 'call vladimir' so I figured ok, nevermind
karl rove really knows what he's talking about......... also, if you recall when Boehner retired, w. bush called him a master of the legislative process.......... obviously, a lot of politicking in any democracy is 'sexy' p.r. stuff and kissing babies and a lot of tv appearances and stuff, but really, i'd be surprised if Trump could lucidly explain how the legislative process works exactly............. I probably couldn't myself........ all I know is that a bill is introduced, normally by the representatives who are voted in every two years and then it gets looked at by the lower house, voted on, sent to the senate, there are about three opportunities for the senate (who's voted in every six years) to send it back with amendments......... finally it can be sent to the president for ratification, the presidency in America has great power so the president can just veto anything........... there's an interesting episode of the brady bunch that explains all of that
obviously then too there are a lot of very old, working relationships in the congress (upper and lower houses), although in some cases, every two years, there are fresh faces............ there are many competing interest groups and lobbyists and what not, trying to influence individual representatives........ the laws are sometimes unclear as to what is legal in this regard or no.......... obviously Trump would know a lot more about it than I would as he has been donating money to all kinds of politicians for a long time and working with them and such......... on the other hand, it's hard to imagine a busy guy like that with time to watch c-span a lot, which is also incredibly boring.... some of these hearings they have where they drag some raggedy arse executive billionaire out there to testify and he just pleads the 5th and it just drags on and on --- so boring --- Nietzsche did say democracies are boring and authoritarian regimes are more interesting........ democracy is politics by committee so it's somewhat boring --- the media like to pretend that they're controlling public opinion and such but the public opinion on the tv is something amorphous and somewhat unreal, like a loch ness monster or something ---- most people don't have time to read long and intricate and well-researched and thoughtful articles in the online newspapers - that explain various issues in depth........... often the media are sidetracked by insignificant things like murders and minor terror attacks and don't see the big things coming like 9/11 or the water crisis in flint or whatever, even though there are warning signs building up.........
recently, around 9 days ago, a little mini-spiral current in the media in America was the notion that college educated government expert foreign policy wonks half the time don't know what they're talking about --- possibly as a result of Trump saying he'd consider getting advice from someone with a lousy cv --- I wouldn't go this far to say this myself, as a master or doctorate degree in foreign policy from a good American university does speak volumes.......... let's quickly talk about that now, obviously I don't have any kind of degree in foreign policy --- so I couldn't tell you even from memory how the u.n. can ratify something like the war in Iraq in 2003 with a veto from Russia or china........... I would say from memory, when bush went there requesting a war in Iraq, that Russia and china abstained..... I'm fairly certain if I googled it, that's what i'd find...... although I could be wrong, I couldn't even be bothered googling it, happy just to show my ignorance, seeing that i'm just a bus driver and all.............anyway, we're only mentioning this in light of having recently suggested on this blog, I can't understand why American policy doesn't seek to fortify the kurds in northern Iraq to the extent of declaring their own statehood.... possibly this may not be possibly with a chinese veto in the u.n. but I guess that didn't really stop Israel............ this would give the kurds in turkey an opportunity to mass migrate over to their own state if it were a bona fide nation......... of all the mainstream media, only Russia today has been covering the atrocities of the Turkish govt. against the kurds in turkey.......... obviously for msnbc and cnn, today show, etc, it's easier to talk about taylor swift --- a few days ago I was watching an nbc today interview with matt lauer and some guy that wrote a book on howard hughes or some such shut-in eccentric American billionaire --- it was at that time that a first jumbo jet flew into the world trade centre and really, you can tell by this example and basically everyday, that these tv journalists in America are not exactly rocket scientists, regardless of how smart they may be off camera
Trump seems the same way when it comes to legislative process........ his strong points seem to be he's very practical and has a willingness to get things done with a minimum of fuss......... Clinton on the other hand really knows how all the govt. stuff works..........she's been a senator -- frankly when I was living in nyc and hanging out with one of my buddies in manhattan who happened to be a gay fellow, and he showed me his entire building that was full of gay men with aids and told me the ny state govt. was picking up the tab for all their medications and rent, that's all I need to see to know I don't like Clinton's policies............. but i'll admit that she would know a lot more than trump would about legislative process, how things get done in Washington, etc...... probably trump is making a lot of people nervous there because he's coming across like happy Gilmore and they're all a bunch of shooter mcgavins........... Trump should get a crash course in all that stuff asap and then he can actually talk like he knows what he's talking about because he's always just making promises and other republicans just think he's unqualified/incompetent......... strange to say, he's actually fit to be president though, with some quick preparation which he has time for......... can you imagine how hard chris Christie's tail would be wagging if trump asked him to be his vp pick? I can see him blushing now and lifting one leg in the air like a woman being kissed and saying, 'moi? little old me?'....... ha ha ---- I wouldn't suggest anyone to trump myself but if I were him i'd start spending all kinds of money hiring people like karl rove that have contacts and understanding of how all that world works..........
it's funny how a CEO can just walk into a new corporation that deals with a product he has no experience with and just be the boss, but it's not clear that that's the case with politics in Washington......... I mean, putting aside all the tv interviews and media and late night talk show hosts and all that stuff, press conferences..... and just thinking about how those people go about their business every day, catching the little mini train or whatever they have in the capitol to go vote on something, or being too busy with something else to vote or going to dinners and talking politics all evening, all the stuff they actually do when they're in Washington --- Clinton sure has a lot of experience with that stuff........... it's looking pretty interesting though, even though democracies are boring
oh yeah, forgot to mention health care.... trump says he prefers the states to decide that stuff.... that means he's going to have to repeal Obamacare as that is a federal legislation and the supreme court has ratified the federal govt's ability to legislate on that superseding the state's rights (questionable decision) - so trump should take a position on that same as ted cruz and say it clearly, he can't just kind of mince around making promises and evading clearly defined positions and expect to win the presidency, it just won't cut the mustard......... if he's going to build a wall, deport people and then let them come back in legally, that's fine because at least he's saying something loud and clearly defined, people understand that and like it or not........ a lot of people are in shock with that stuff but screw their shock ---- trump needs to know exactly what he wants and state it clearly, understanding of course that that may or may not be possible depending on the outcome of senate and representative elections
see the senate vote in 2016 is due too:
Elections for the United States Senate will be held on November 8, 2016, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections whose winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2017 until January 3, 2023. All class 3 Senators are up for election; class 3 was last up for election in 2010, when Republicans won a net gain of six seats. Currently, Democrats are expected to have 10 seats up for election, and Republicans are expected to have 24 seats up for election. Special elections may also be held to fill vacancies that occur during the 114th United States Congress. Republicans, having taken control of the Senate in the 2014 election, currently hold the Senate majority with 54 seats.
see I don't know anywhere near as much as karl rove about all this stuff, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the 24 republicans with seats up for re-election are just sweating right now, worried shitless about Donald trump and if he'll cause them to lose their seats............if I were trump i'd find out how many old school republicans with decades of experience in politics he can start building any kind of dialog with, like hiring them as advisors or something ...... it's just a cadre of old dudes out there that have been in politics for decades......... look at Donald Rumsfeld, the guy first started there in Washington 1963! that's a really long time ago -- he probably got voted in for two years at the time I guess and that's how he got started and he was secretary of defense as recently as 2006 so really, that's over 40 years in politics..... Washington is just full of old dudes like that just kind of waddling around with secretaries with their arms spilling over with files and policy wonks and advisors trailing them and briefing them on their way to their next meeting....... I mean, trump really has to cozy up with all this kind of establishment somehow, he can't just watch happy Gilmore in the plaza hotel and hope they'll call him up and bring popcorn, he has to make stuff happen for himself or he would totally lose -- that's my understanding

'bow your head's and pretend to be serious' - Ignignokt
“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in front of everyone, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the silly pants do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this:

my ideal south park episode,
insert harp music and wavey screen effect....
my ideal south park, written and directed by moi would follow the typical major plot, minor subplot function. The major plot would centre around glaciers melting globally, featuring a 'queen of the slopes' ski competition with communist Chinese party members with Italian stylized names like chinkarelli and chinkarino. They'd be talking almost non-sensical pigeon English with attempts at Italian mafia jokes or something. The minor subplot would be set in 19th century England on an old manor with spoilt snooty teenage kids or just one kid who turn out to be mass murderers but they have to be bailed out by their butler and stuff or staff coz of their high social station. More on that by and by, maybe some pictures or something, stand by a few weeks or months, or years maybe.

back at da gym, +9km = 21km for the week
'sup slurts.... So have run 9km tonight... to maintain that 21km per week average from the past three weeks... Some song popped into my head tonight from when I was like 7 years old, she's a bop girl, which was a big hit here in Australia in 1983... Just as I left home, in fact, so listened to it three times in a row on da way to da gym. Maybe it will go away by itself
