The first 100 years of Islamic mosques faced Petra in Jordan, not Mecca in Saudi Arabia

 This American fellow makes the case very well:

This rings true to me. Not least because I would not be surprised if Abraham himself lived in Petra itself. And the Koran mentions Becca (weeping/Petra) as the home of actual Abraham. Archeologists were even able to dig up 470 catapult stones referred to in some old writings. 

As a newly converted Muslim who immediately read the Koran and became a Muslim the moment my brother passed away four and a half years ago. (Admittedly I cheat during the fasting month by drinking coffee during the daytime and sometimes I eat non halal meat etc), I now realise there is absolutely no need for me to go to Saudi Arabia for haj at all, but simply to Petra (in Jordan) for haj. Although I suppose there are still fixed times for that although I think there are also dispensations for not timing haj correctly so I'll check that.

I mentioned the bin Ladens in a recent post. Most people don't realise that Osama bin Laden's father was a very important construction magnate in Saudi Arabia, very close to the King there at the time of constructing the new haj complex. Prior to Osama bin Laden's father overseeing the construction of the new haj complex, thousands and thousands of Muslims were really performing haj in extremely sub standard conditions, bin Laden senior with money from the King of Saudi Arabia fixed this problem and streamlined the area. As a Muslim I thought I'd be going to that new complex one day, but actually, like the Rosicrucian AMORC scholars I followed closely as a kid, some of whom actually travelled to Petra for historical/archeological reasons, I guess I'll be going to Jordan for Haj and not Mecca at all. Maybe I'll have to start writing letters to authorities in Jordan about it.

This doesn't affect my vision of Judaism. You know I was on the bus to the wailing Wall in Jerusalem circa April 2002 during an Intifada right? I was warmly received by American Jews all around there. You know Jewish guys watch porn movies backwards because they love it when the hooker pays the money back, just sayin' is all.

Tucker Carlson/ fox news acting like Virginia election won't be rigged

On the contrary, my assumption is it will be rigged by Democrats. 

Americans Benji notices: Matt Damon, like Flip, Kati Morton internet psychotherapist

 Hey!

I don't pay that much attention to Matt. He's in a crypto.com commercial and I'm up around $800 ATM with them. When I get serious I won't be putting major amounts with them but with the respective blockchains directly. My bestie is extremely capable, in the market over seven years already and very knowledgeable. I'll try to become a millionaire. Matt is also in a new Ridley Scott movie, the Duel, which is a French period peace, looks interesting. Might watch it in the future if the stars align, would be sure to enjoy it no doubt. Will keep you posted.

Lil Flip. What it do is practically almost religion for Benji so no surprise I'm listening to it as church reconvened after a four month or so blackout shutdown. Everyone was online streaming but I passed, I think online streaming is silly. (Zoom meetings, silly). No place for that in religion but possibly useful for organising actual humanitarian activities. It was nice catching up with the folks from church on Sunday, also Halloween day which has become a big deal in Australia.

Kati Morton, now she's talking about religious abuse. It turns out she was raised a Mormon or something like that by the looks of it. Interesting. Psychotherapists charge like $200 - $300 an hour and I'm reluctant to spend that at the taxpayer's expense, or my own. However I can use knowledge from Kati and a free voluntary phone service for phone counselling, to have access to different minds, willing to listen. While they aren't psychotherapists, I understand enough to analyse what I'm saying so it's like psychotherapy. Having a mother my entire life on anti psychotics (or worse, off them) and also a brutal sob brother eventually on them like 20+ years, kind of makes me like a psychiatrist or something. In fact I'd love it if Kati could talk about crazy people burnout, where you get burned out dealing with crazy people as a professional or family member.

Morocco: possesses 70% of world's phosphate supplies

 https://youtu.be/GztRh8isKKc

When you think about over population and resource supplies or lack thereof, well I might think about really kind of mediocre people, especially Europeans, adopting a very rickitty, hypocritical stance about climate change or the like. Prince Charles gets to put himself front and centre and grab some attention and the technocrats and leadership cadre of Europe's morbidly apathetic, NIHILISTIC, uncaring masses, who absolutely refuse to fight a war for anything, get to do the same. A kind of continental Prince Charles clone, if you will.

Any logical thinking, right leaning American in his right mind, that can actually think intelligently, would tell you China is depleting resources at a clip and posturing and preening is detrimental. And NOONE is challenging them.

In fact, this cadre of Europeans and corrupt UN representatives are an absolute liability to big business and the global populations in general. These are left leaning do-gooders like Joe Biden, with the absolute ability to 'mess shit up' as the fashionably dark skinned Obama would say. 

In fact, notice how conveniently the do gooder posture of seeming to care about the environment seems to offer the Pope an opportunity of do gooding, just at the pivotal moment Catholic Spain FINALLY began to realise that Catholic (black magician) priests sexually molesting kids is a criminal offence (hey it only took around over a thousand years to figure that out, come on man). 

I know, it's hard not to get carried away with the rabble, spilling forward towards the devil's negative influences. A catchy song, a few laughs, suddenly you have forgotten what the glaringly obviously truth looks like inbetween mouthfuls of chewing sugar filled fattening food like so much bovine cud. Benji understands.

Hurrah! Exeunt, flourish of trumpets ensues.

Fox and friends 7am Thursday, Benji liveblogs

 

'yesterday' (in America) was actually today for moi. All one big today. Tucker was on (today), he committed the cardinal sin of 'not blaming everything on Joe Biden'.

WRONG

Joe Biden completely fucked America's economy up. He lives by a beach and figured everyone in America deserves a 'serf' shop and he made it happen. Because that's what Joe can do: get everyone serf shopping like they're at the beach, to 'serf' around. 

Has anyone noticed fox news never has anything good to say about the bin ladens and Saudi Arabia? I mean there are lots of lovely bin ladens that don't fly jumbo jets into massive buildings, just ask the fbi as they flew the first charter flight out of America, say before Benji's first month in America was up, full of Ben Ladens, to lovely Saudi, the land of the long sword. Silly Americans

I'm going home soon if the fox news doesn't become entertaining. I find these fox ppl strange. They should have made me their CEO a long time ago, not Suzanne. They'll get a transgender in before me. That's because they ideas of strength are strange. Suzanne's probably one of these kooks craving to be spanked in the bedroom, I could spank her and her husband (they dawg too g) while running fox news way better easy peasy. I'm just sayin' is all cuz, no beef. We out.

 

You can listen to lil flip on the commute to work if you want... I'll probably try that on the skateboard late next week, mental note get my Bluetooth headphones. You know I could probably make myself a regular on Brian Kilmeade after daylight savings is over here when summer ends in February or whenever, I'll try buying Viber credits so I get a better quality sound. Even without high quality Viber I was getting through to Breann's screener guy quite a bit a few weeks ago... But the sound quality on free Viber was too poor and he wouldn't process my call...

French movie review: : Jappeloup

 

Another great french movie showing french people actually understand human feelings, human interaction and human motivations. Quite a change from what we see on American tv, hero worship and idolatry, disregard for actual human feelings.

The main character looks spookily like he could be Tucker Carlson's long lost french brother, the similarity in looks is startling. 

That aside, I won't ruin the movie for you apart from saying it centres around Monsieur Durand, a professional Olympic horse jumper (equestrian). 

Great french movie. Only the french are capable of making serious movies consistently anymore. Bravo.

Vive le France. Wow what a real tearjerker, I bet me and the 80 somethings in the old age homes in Burgundy that survived covid were crying hardest and moved most. Kinda creepy how monsieur Durand looks like Tucker Carlson's long lost french bro but what can you do, maybe write a short story about it or something.

Well before I get stuck into the next french movie, Les vacances des monsieur Hulot, a black and white oldie, quite slow to establish its meaning. And hopefully make it to work on time for the free party food (we're privatizing immediately after Halloween, trust Benji to do his bit to drive change). Only a brief ten minutes skateboard ride away (although I'll be driving if my car battery isn't flat, due to my sore ankle, now I know how Jappeloup felt when he had his little scare).

Wow this monsieur Hulot movie is going nowhere, this is a very french thing just drawing things out forever then bam! They're gonna hit you with something.

Anyway continuing on that last post. So America's great and all, my first time there around mid August 2001 to mid November 2001, exactly 90 days, I left and went to Paris to reside a while (six months). So I couldn't speak much French so one of the first words I learned in those days in Bastille was 'alumettes', des alumettes. The matches. So if you have some petrol and matches you can burn the house down. Those matches. Then I scrolled through the white pages phonebook at a public payphone in Bastille and got a job at Total Fina Elf and Nestle teaching English. Paris is too big. My second main experience in France was eight years ago in Carcassonne and surrounds. Languedoc, beautiful country. Deux semaines la bas. Maybe someday I can sail across the oceans to France. That's probably the best I could do, le mieux. 

 

 

Dream wrap

 Ok like the limp Bizkit song, Benji's dreams feeling less empty these days. Talked to four and a half year old kid on the phone last night, she said her older brother and sister were sleeping in the garage. As part of their balanced development, I actually just want to leave the three kids alone for a while and let their brains loosen up a bit. No sense ruining their future with any more intergenerational trauma. So anyway, maybe that factoid about them sleeping in the garage influenced my dream....

By the way I have a cassette in that garage, I believe, from 1997 from some nights of dreaming in Madrid where I was lucidly remembering alot of dreams. It has made it through all these years somehow, it even has a lable on it from back then. I also found a label recently for my skateboard randomly stuck on a milk crate, coincidentally numbered: 007

Also I agree with Tucker Carlson when he says Obama is a heartless monster, or as I say, Drone Bomb Barry. Somehow I feel God's everloving mercy shines deep and bright on killers (of other humans) and if you don't believe me, check all the parts where God is telling various Jewish tribes to kill their enemies. If I were any american president in the next twenty years I'd expect to be ready to kill Chinese people. 

Anyway so in my dream I was at some kind of new urbanization house being built, almost done. Was it an urbanization or a standalone house in a sparsely populated place. There was a giant garage door apparently, like factory size. Much bigger than the garage door on a normal garage. Apparently the builders had stuccoed a huge amount of cement rendering as a wall against it, however there was a gap long enough for an arm to fit in as possibly they left a gap on purpose for some reason. My fellow ghetto trash besty Murphy rounds at a different area of dream, his crib is in a flat kind of towny feeling place, not overly dissimilar from the reality however the vibe was different, also a garage doors kind of place I suppose (coz of storefronts). We hang out then he's visited by pot smoking white trashy low education buddy of his that wants to smoke more pot. The urbanization house was clearly a family house deal. Kind of similar to a couple of houses I've been in in southern Spain maybe or something you'd see in California or, of course, my current neck of the woods. Can't remember much more details. A gap you can stick your arm into is a detail. As a Muslim I wash my arm to the elbow regularly, that's standard. I guess I'm remembering my first time in America power washing roofs with Billy in Virginia, he was sticking his arm into his container of roof sealant. His boss's name was Tucker, very funny guy that Tucker, grabbed his crotch one time and told me to suck on that, I thought that was hilarious. Pretty random nonsense. Probably food for thought for an asshole or something. Guess you could stick your arm up a human asshole although a cow's asshole would be a lot easier and more common.

That's true about that milk crate number, that was actually the number of the crate! It'll look good taped onto the bottom of my deck. I'm missing grass cutting work this weekend coz of my swollen ankle no doubt. I kinda like walking slowly and surveying things a bit more, impossible to walk at speed old boy. Wouldn't it be cool if the united states secret service changed Trump's codename to Goldfinger? Maybe it already is, I don't know. I'm curious about his new tech venture. I think because Google owns most of the actual storage space the correct procedure is take them to the Supreme Court as their actions are clearly unconstitutional (illegal).

Shirley time....
