Line in the Sands of Time, Continued

Posted on July 19, 2009 by ehurst

This continues yesterday’s post. By now, it should be clearly established how utterly illegitimate is the current ruling regime in the eyes of God. Not only do the laws of the land directly attack what He requires under the Law Covenants, but our entire Western culture seems designed to prevent us even understanding those covenants. The government, and all major industries, are complicit in making this culture all the more so. The very essence of obedience to God, and loyalty to His Laws, make you a rebel and criminal. While there may be tactical reasons for going with the flow at some points, you will invariably come to the place where you have to say, “No, I will not do that.”

In the broad sense of God’s standards, there is no sin in resisting the will of the US government.

Keep in mind, this thing called “government” is not some objective entity, as we are taught to believe. Government is people, people who have separated themselves from any personal liability in carrying out whatever policy seems to please the various dreams and aspirations of some particular ruling class. That those who govern are scarcely aware of the will of the governed, nor inclined to pay them any mind, is manifestly obvious. These people don’t care what you want or need; they will decide what you need and you darned sure better like it.

So when that American battle flag is marched before you, the slightest hesitation in falling down to worship this emblem of the State is justification for all manner of vilification. Should you pretend the Cross is a higher symbol of a higher Realm, you should expect to be oppressed. Should you dare to suggest the Cross of Christ demands something other than the will of the governing class, you are a branded a heretic, even by the folks who fill most churches.

You know where this is leading: Do not volunteer to serve in the government, to include in the military forces. As a general principle, such service is placing yourself under the authority of Christ’s enemies. By no means do I suggest military service itself is sinful. Military service under the current regime is a sin. There was a time I would have said if you felt called, go enlist or whatever. I can’t say that any more. That’s because you cannot make that choice without committing yourself to the vast evil enterprise of our current senseless wars.

You’ve read about the Israeli ships steaming into the Persian Gulf? After all the sabre-rattling of the past few years, only a fool would imagine it’s just a training cruise. And only a bigger fool would imagine any action by Israeli war craft against Iran won’t suck us into it. Don’t pay any attention to what the various mouthpieces in the US government say. Look at what they do. They keep sending those huge checks to Israel, tons of advanced munitions, etc. We keep Israel under the paint job of sainthood.

Never mind how big the lies about Iran’s nuclear ambitions — we can’t afford it! Not only does all this warfare drain the treasury, but it’s sucking in the lives of our most productive people. Not just the body bags, but the vast numbers crippled in mind and body. Now, volunteers are one thing; if their conscience allows them to go, let them. But it will simply be utterly impossible for us to support a war against Iran, much less actually invade, without a draft. Can’t be done. The military doesn’t have enough troops for the current commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan. All the Draft Boards have been reactivated recently. Yep, they are geared up to turn on that huge sucking machinery.

If you have already registered for the draft, prepare to avoid it. If you have not, consider ways to avoid that. Get some practical advice. If it involves your kids, do all in your power to stop it. To paraphrase Vox Day, “Render not your children unto Caesar.” In this case, it’s tantamount to tossing them in the arms of the glowing idol to Molech. In recent decades, no significant portion of our military activity has actually done anything to defend us and make us safer. Quite the contrary; we have created a bunch of new enemies by our senseless failure to protect the innocent.

This is not the same as counseling hostility to the troops. Don’t forget the basic, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” For believers, that includes, “Love your enemies.” Pity them, comfort them, but don’t support their mission. You’ll have to work out for yourself where to draw the line in the sand.

But that there should be a line drawn in the sand is not up for discussion. Military draft resistance is not a sin.

Line in the Sands of Time

Posted on July 18, 2009 by ehurst

It’s time for another line-in-the-sand.

Pay attention when you read the Old Testament. You will notice: Every command from God under the Covenants assumes a tribal social structure. You cannot obey any of God’s Laws without it. As always, for Christians, the reality is symbolic of a higher standard. So that means when you come together in Christian fellowship, you are required by Christ to construct a spiritual tribal structure before you are permitted to call it “church.” In other words, for a church, DNA is not required, but the social structure is still the same.

There is no place in modern Western Civilization for recognizing this requirement. Try it, and every law of man will come against you. Satan hates it when we obey God, even if all we do is execute the mere worldly obedience to the Laws of God under Noah. The very foundation of the American judicial system, and all the assumptions, stated or unstated, condemn the tribal structure and lifestyle, as if it were the same as crime, moral turpitude, etc. When Western law speaks of “society” and it’s justified expectations, it’s just code language for the state as it dictates to the conscience of the citizen. “These are our social standards because we say so.” All this posturing from so-called Christian legal minds and philosophers, seeking to promote a society with no household larger than the “nuclear family” are just fools operating in the service of Satan.

No human on earth is under any moral obligation, or spiritual obligation, to give allegiance to such a government. There may be compelling tactical reasons for playing along, but in the end, obedience to God is rejecting the Modern State. It is only in the Modern State you would have some central authority proposing to force subjects to accept inoculations. Only the Modern State would make it a virtue to shield drug manufacturers from liability, because only the Modern State makes it so easy for those manufacturers to purchase laws favoring their corporate profit. Anyone in a tribal setting who tried to pull a stunt like this would be justly lynched by their tribe, the people of their own kin to whom they are responsible. Only in the Modern State can we imagine a barrier protecting the rulers from the ruled.

So let’s get this out, bluntly and in the open: I would encourage you, in the name of God Almighty, to refuse to cooperate with any further inoculation programs promoted by our secular government. In case you haven’t already realized it, let’s make sure you understand from here on out, there is no possible justification for the current programs other than profit. It has absolutely no grounds in genuine health needs, and those who insist otherwise are fools or clients of the profiting drug makers. It is too easy to find factual scientific studies debunking the official lies. The primary falsehood is the safety of these “medicines.” Most include poisons which serve no other purpose than convenience and profit of the manufacturer. I’ll bet you could find a lot of other links, yourself.

God is with you if you choose to resist.

Line in Sand of Your Mind

Posted on July 17, 2009 by ehurst

A basic rule of locker-room talk is those who really know how don’t bother talking about it. It’s not just a matter of sexual conquests, or targets thereof, but anything about which testosterone fires the boasting. Most common is discussion of martial exploits. Few who make threats are actually capable of carrying them out.

Recent photo image of the author

I am told by some this photo tends to project the image of a dangerous thug. That was meant simply as humor. The face belongs to a teddy bear kind of guy. Look at the background — those are my books. Most of them are Bibles or books about the Bible. Some of them are merely classical literature. I no longer get queasy at the sight of blood, but that’s only because I spent several years as a Military Police Traffic Investigator. My primary mission was taking photos of stuff you don’t want to see. Sometimes I still weep over the memories, just as I weep over injuries I witness in the present. I don’t talk much about what I saw, nor do I boast about the other stuff I had to do while wearing that big black brassard on my shoulder.

I’d rather make you laugh talking about such things as the day I had to physically inspect and read every single ID card for every single human passing through the gates one day during a high THREATCON. I was wearing one of the new cold-wet jackets, which didn’t have a place for name tags. After about three hours of this, someone asked me my name, and I had to pause for some long painful seconds before I could answer. It got a good laugh, and relieved a lot of tension. More tension relief came when reviewing the video tape of my performance, because in that jacket I bore a favorable likeness to a brick wall painted green. I’m only average height, but pretty bulky.

That means I’m simply a really big teddy bear. I’m the little boy who never grew up, and I roll on the floor with my granddaughter, matching her enthusiasm.

I worry about that tiny girl. I worry what the various government agencies have planned for her. It’s bad enough the public school system wants to turn her brain to mush. They also want to see her body filled with dangerous chemicals, most of which provide no real benefit to her, and some which are downright harmful. The call them “vaccinations.” I’m already working on a plan for homeschooling her, provided her parents agree when the time comes. I’m not too pleased with how the system wasted several years of life from her parents, and things could surely have been better. But it’s the inoculations which loom as the larger threat.

Indeed, it looms for all of us. Say what you like, but I have seen enough evidence that flu vaccines, particularly when mandatory, are far more dangerous than any flu. And yes, there’s all that other information out there the mainstream press refuses to report, such as how Baxter sent vials of active flu virus all over the world, how everyone not chained down with a government provided, or government controlled, paycheck says the current flu virus could not evolve on its own, but had to come from a lab. And then there are the hundreds of experiments conducted by the US government on her own population without bothering to tell them they had been exposed to biological agents… No, I do not trust any part of the U.S. federal government. I worked next to government bureaucrats in the military, and it was shocking how many of them would willingly pull the switch to kill thousands or their fellow citizens if so ordered. It gets worse as their authority increases, as if it were a requirement for promotion.

I can’t identify all the different lines a government might cross, all the various forms of oppressive tyranny, or downright stupidity and incompetence, but I can assure you those lines are there. When something comes across them — God help me — the teddy bear becomes a grizzly. I’m not sure when or how, but a part of me hasn’t forgotten there are a thousand ways to bring fear into the hearts of an army of tyrants and the people who serve them.

It’s too late for stockpiling, too late for building defenses or setting up escape routes. Any day now the full force of human evil will burst like a dam. No one living on this earth can predict the time, place, or form it will take. There are some actually hoping for it, actively planning how to profit from it, but they don’t hold all the cards. Do you know it would only take an hour for some banking mogul somewhere on this earth to reduce the US dollar to less than 10,000 to one euro? And does anyone really know what Big Pharma might have cooked up in the labs, which could be slipped into every municipal water supply overnight? Or any number of other nightmare scenarios? Even without direct intervention by elite hands hidden from view, we are already going to suffer a deep slide into economic depression. While I was writing this, two more banks were being closed by the FDIC. Depression is a given, regardless. No power on earth can stop it now.

So I’m waiting, simply because there’s nothing else I can do. You can only be so proactive before your efforts dissipate in the mists of all the unguessable possibilities. The only real preparation that matters is inside you. Set aside the locker room exploits you find on the Net, or in your social circles. Look in the mirror of your soul. What really matters to you? If there aren’t some hard lines drawn in the sands of your mind, you might as well roll over and pretend nothing will happen. Hug your teddy bear and go back to sleep.

Kdrive/SmallX — Buried in Obscurity

Posted on July 16, 2009 by ehurst

In my on-going research for alternatives to the X.org full server, I ran across references to a “TinyX” which led me to SmallX, AKA Kdrive. Aside from one, very obsolete reference written for mere mortal users, the whole thing is buried in code-jockey talk. The standard blurb is fairly clear about having one set of drivers for keyboard, mouse and graphics hardware, but little else. I see references from a few years ago about 2D acceleration, and sometimes notes about ancient cards no longer available. I see nothing I can use right now on my Radeon-based system.

This strikes me as a good alternative for low-powered machines, such as my Inspiron 4100. I dug into it freshly and found my Radeon M6 has only 16MB VRAM, so it’s all the more interesting if I can just find out what I can do with Kdrive on something like Lenny or Squeeze. Sadly, there’s nothing I can understand.

Okay, so I understand it’s part of the Puppy. Great; I don’t want to use the simple framebuffer, I want to take full advantage of my wimpy Radeon chip. Oh, yeah — the procedure for getting a Radeon driver on Puppy is incomprehensible to anyone who hasn’t used it for at least a year.

It reminds me of INX and all the other Linux projects. If the thing you seek is in any way out of the ordinary or mainstream, you get no help at all. You can either install the latest and greatest rolling-release, a good solid but stodgy distro, or you can become a coder and forget having any chance of actually using your computer — that is, using it for anything besides coding. At this point, I’m about ready to try some fund-raising to pay someone to help produce a real console distro, something with stability and long-term care for users. Oh, wait, the economy is crashing. No spare money available.

*sigh*

Mostly Charade

Posted on July 14, 2009 by ehurst

It’s not as if fiction is a complete waste of time. For example, parables are essentially fiction. They propose an event which didn’t actually happen as a way to emphasize something which cannot be told. But it’s still fiction, just like my my little story about the man seeking to explain the inexplicable. A great deal of fiction is like that; who hasn’t at least heard of the novel 1984? It was the attempt by a genuine believer in communism to warn folks the pure vision of communist Utopia could be perverted like any other political structure. But wiser minds see it as the inevitable failure of something which cannot work because it ignores too much truth. How about Frank Herbert’s The Dosadi Experiment? That series of short stories indicates humans are amazingly adaptable to the most horrific conditions, particularly when they’ve never known anything else. Fiction can both reveal and hide.

As you view the news with a practiced skepticism, you could easily note most of what governments do is theater, designed to hide things. TSA is security theater, and has nothing to do with actually protecting flights. Much of the computer security software is security theater, too. Reality TV is anything but reality. All TV is pretty much theater, because it’s just too easy to show only what they want you to see.

So far, the theater is working. How often do people refer to something they saw in a fictional video as their basis for reasoning, as if it were real? How likely are the people in your circle of acquaintances to listen to discussions of cover-up in 9-11? Never mind the theories of what did happen, just mention the obvious lie of the buildings collapsing under heat stress from jet fuel. Most people prefer the fiction to reality, because it’s less work that way.

As long as the theater serves a purpose, it will continue. We have this massive pretense of trying to follow the US Constitution, but anyone who can read knows this is one of the biggest fictions of all. As long as the rabble are fairly quiet, this will continue. Rather like Herbert’s Dosadai world, we are slowly adapted to increasingly worse conditions, and it’s simply too much work even to contemplate how we might stop the slide into a full blown police state. If history is any guide, we all know there will come a point when it will be too much, and a significant portion will rise up to resist, even as the majority scream at them to stop, or at least try to hide away from the conflict. Eventually, the fiction breaks down, though.

To the degree you want to believe there is some “Illuminati” steering some events in this world, they are quite happy for America to waddle along its current path. It’s a lot less expensive than actually having to apply oppressive measures nakedly. Nobody I trust can claim to know the breaking point. Even the alleged Illuminati can’t control everything; they aren’t gods, regardless of what they might imagine about themselves. However, I’m pretty sure they don’t suffer from the mainstream addiction to the likes of Reality TV. They don’t drink fluoridated water, they don’t consume vast quantities of pharmaceuticals, but eat all organic foods, as far as anyone can find out. And while they may well be some of the most intelligent minds on earth, they can’t argue with God. He allows them to rule largely because we, the human race as a whole, prefer them to Him. We have bought their sales pitch.

While it’s possible you and I as individuals won’t survive the coming months as things get uglier, we can decide to take the path which sets us truly free. We don’t have to drink the koolade. Nor do we have to arm ourselves to the teeth, build bomb shelters and stockpiles of food and drink. Those things aren’t necessarily harmful in themselves, but they aren’t the real answer. You don’t even have to really buy into the Kingdom of Heaven business, and “get saved”, either. All you have to do is realize, from the beginning of time, there was Someone in charge, the Designer. Never mind what follows this world, your one true chance at a sane life here is to follow that way of life laid out so long ago no one really knows when it was. Nor does it matter. What matters is that sense of justice which stands at the very foundation of all human life.

As you probably already know, I’m referring to the justice system under the Laws of Noah. It’s the way the universe was designed to operate, and the universe itself will cooperate with your attempts to live that way.

Yet More Global Deception

Posted on July 12, 2009 by ehurst

“You can’t make a parable walk on all fours.” I was amazed at the time I heard that, how a rural preacher could point out something thousands of scholars had missed over the centuries. While my little parable implied there was a chance some single event could become the turning point to uncloaking an important truth long hidden, it’s not like that.

Over the past couple of centuries in particular we have a substantial written record to show religious thinkers have fully embraced the linear and concrete logic which now controls Evangelical theology. This is part of the massive global deception under which we now live. This theology assumes there is a particular point in time we could point to, at least in theory, when someone ceases being a dead spirit and becomes “born again.” We in our time-ridden existence would naturally see it that way. It’s not simply, “Only God really knows when.” It’s more like, “God knows there’s no such thing.” We make the mistake of thinking God is equally limited.

There are many playing lip service to the notion of God rising above the space-time continuum, but precious little application of it to the foundations of our assumptions. The hero in my little story assumes a discrete time and place answer to his quest. In the reality which that story symbolizes, a part of the answer is escaping that assumption. That’s the truly mysterious part, because locked as we are under the ticking of the clock, where the very orientation of our thoughts is ruled by sequence and the passage of time, we cannot easily step into the Spirit Realm of Truth.

Let’s suppose you heard about someone becoming sick a few days before, and you haven’t gotten an update on their condition. Can you pray for them still? Of course. Do you suppose God will move to answer your request when you don’t know the current status? What if they had died and you didn’t know yet? Could God reach back into yesterday and honor your request by healing them instead of letting them die? We would never know if He did, since we are incapable of functioning with a knowledge of alternate time lines of existence. We can imagine it via fiction, perhaps, but stepping into an actual alternate universe makes no actual sense to us.

The limit we suffer here is the linearity of our mental process, in a universe made by God who suffers no such limitation. He views all of this existence from outside, as a single event. We know He can and will determine some parts of this, but we are incapable of grasping just what and how much, primarily because we are looking at discrete departure points in the answer. In our logic, you cannot have both free will and divine election. Yet God’s Word seems to assume both are true. Our demand for logical clarity, where none can exist because God won’t grant it, has led to a vast archive of bad theology. We have the Westminster Accords, all nice and logical, neatly packaged, yet it doesn’t answer all the questions in the Bible. They carried it way, way too far. The scholars who worked on it were crippled by the assumption things had to make sense, when God bluntly says they will not — “My ways are not your ways.”

Would it help if I said Western Civilization is entirely too “left brain,” not enough “right brain”? The problem with that would be the necessarily dismissive terms we use to discuss the right brain approach. Even then, the dichotomy is largely academic, and in many places is a false dichotomy. That’s because the consistent working of the Holy Spirit will seldom satisfy the left brain, but is far bigger than mere right brain functions. Efforts among professional educators to balance the left with the right in pedagogy invariably turns out to be an excuse for attacking the left brain, and building up something with no brains. Still, I cannot deny some elements of the right brain domain of operations are very close to the way God works in the Bible.

If our hero continues probing in the dark, trying to find a concrete object to identify as the layer of deception over some part of his world, for him to find it would make a nice story, but it would no longer be the thing I’m facing. Rather, we would end up talking about, say, Iran’s nuclear program. Here in the US, at least, no one is telling the facts on Iran. Go do the research; there is zero evidence Iran is working on nuclear weapons. Even if they wanted to do so, they utterly lack the equipment to make bomb-quality fissile material. Furthermore, we are bound by treaty to help Iran do what they are doing now, which is to make good nuclear power stations. How bluntly can I say this? Every US politician and media mouthpiece is lying about this, and knows they are lying to you! But it’s not that simple. The deception about Iran is possible only because we have allowed ourselves to bury true Christian faith under an avalanche of false epistemology.

I don’t expect a simple resolution to my search. The answer is not a Holy Grail hidden in some Mediterranean chapel. The mere existence of such fables as the Holy Grail is a part of the deception. Things which could not possibly matter are played up as “the big secret” — there is no such thing. The problem is not secrets of a concrete nature, nor even of an abstract nature. The problem is we have crippled the human soul from crossing over, from rising above the intellect to the spirit. The vast legacy of understanding available to the Christians of the First Century has been hidden, buried, taken from us to prevent recreating their effects on the world. No, not totally lost, obviously. Too many people love Jesus, and you can’t do that without His very real presence. Still, there is something more we should have, and we don’t have it.

I’ve brushed may hand against it a time or two…

More Global Deception

Posted on July 11, 2009 by ehurst

I wish I could finish the story, but it’s a parable about where I find myself today.

While I am not sure I can locate the real truth of things, as it were, I sense there’s a massive deception going on. I’m certain of it. I just can’t put my finger on it. I suppose I could fill in lots of blanks with talk of how the Devil is using this or that, but it would hardly provide any answer on which we could act. I’m still searching, like the fellow in the story, but God only knows whether I’ll pin it down or go mad. Too many things of which I am certain don’t quite add up.

The Bible shows a fairly clear model of courage, conviction, and resulting actions. At the end of the story, we see men carrying the fire for something called the Realm of the Sky (a more literal translation than “Kingdom of Heaven”). Everybody knows the language is symbolic, because God isn’t floating around up in the sky. Pilots and astronauts haven’t found anything above the clouds, nor thousands of telescopes, radars and scanning devices. What has been found is easily accounted for, so it’s clearly not a literal meaning. It’s symbolic, just as my little story was.

On the other hand, I’m altogether comfortable with having made some progress toward that story in the Bible. I’m not claiming to have anything unique here, as if God had somehow selected me for some pivotal role in human history. I’m pretty sure some other folks have been here before me. But they weren’t allowed to tell their story. If they tried, I’m pretty sure it got hidden, or more likely, changed. Like that “projection screen” in my parable, it would seem there has been some success at keeping folks from seeing something behind it.

It’s like a hundred other things — the JFK Assassination or 9-11 or Flight 800. We may have no good way of finding the hidden facts, but the official story is just too obviously false. I suppose the difference is something like the Internet, where the ability to silence the truth is currently rather limited. So when someone discovers a little piece of the story, or at least something which points out a lie, it can no longer be buried so quickly. That may change soon enough, and we shouldn’t doubt those who want to hide this stuff are struggling with all their might to cut it off. However, for the time being, they can’t do it directly without getting themselves painted as a target for very real harm. So they have to find some other way, and it’s taking time. Meanwhile, a lot of stuff is leaking out all over the place.

Yet, there remains something which I sense is even a bigger secret that those things. I’m pretty sure it’s been around a lot longer, so it would be more like the mystery of how the pyramids were built, or how the huge drawings only visible from high altitude were laid out so accurately. Only, I suspect this thing is even more important than a mere puzzle of ancient times, because what I’m looking for could change everything today.

There’s a lot of folks promoting things they consider to be that important, that powerful, something hidden for ages. But so far, it doesn’t add up for me. And I’m quite certain I am not the only one who is chasing the source of that inexplicable tingling on the edge of one hand from having brushed against something where nothing should be. At this point, I could hardly care who finds it, because it’s the finding that matters most.

So if none of this makes sense, go ahead and laugh it off, count me as another glassy-eyed fool. I can’t stop searching.

Global Deception

Posted on July 10, 2009 by ehurst

“I’m out of my mind right now. Please leave a message.”

It was a clever joke on the t-shirt. It was no joke to him.

As he sat on the stone wall, the sound of water trickling gently in the fountain behind him, he was sure he was going mad. Half-turning to look, he wondered if the fountain was real itself, or just a projection. He wondered if he dared wade into the fountain to see, but wasn’t sure enough the policeman across the way watching him wasn’t real. So he sat, rocking slightly to and fro, waiting for the fall of night.

It began last Sunday, best he could reckon. It felt like ages, considering he had slept so poorly since then. What was most maddening was he couldn’t quite remember where it was when it happened. Somewhere in one of the public streets, he stood far off to one side where people never walked. Normally it was covered by the river’s flow, but that day the water had been damned upstream while some repair took place under a bridge. For just a moment, he stepped down the slippery stonework on the embankment, because he wanted to see downstream from that lower angle, normally not possible without stepping into the water.

Perhaps he was already mad from birth. No one else ever asked the questions he asked. Not just the silly childlike questions, such as, “Why is the sky blue?” After he understood the physics of refraction and atmospheric gas mixtures, he would ask what would have to be added or removed to make it green, or some of the other common colors.

Disappointed the view from below the normal water level offered nothing interesting, he turned to climb back up the muddy stone slope. As he did so, for just an instant, his eyes passed over the far side of the open plaza — one of dozens in the city — and he saw something he never noticed before. It was a tiny glimpse of framework just over the top of one building. It seemed odd, because as soon as he took another step, it disappeared. He nearly fell, and couldn’t quite regain that spot, and wasn’t quite sure exactly where it was again.

Standing on the top of the bank again, he stared for quite some time in the general direction of where he thought he spotted this strange thing, but never saw anything but the ancient stone, wood and ceramic structures of centuries past. Had the framework been simply black, he would have dismissed it as something stuck in his eyes, but it was clearly aluminum colored, and very precisely curved and round, like well designed lightweight framing for an experimental aircraft, or some of the architectural student projects at the university.

He walked toward where he thought it had been. Shop fronts, multiple floors with storage or apartments, uneven roof lines and a few facades. As he walked closer, he tried to remind himself not to absorb the scene as something he passed a hundred times before, but to see it afresh. As he stood examining the awning of a bakery, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a movement. Something in his brain registered it as an anomaly, though not fully conscious. Behind him a couple of people suddenly began yelling rudely at each other. Even as he turned, a mob was gathering, and before his eyes quite took in the scene, the sound of police whistles and a couple of sirens. It meant, of course, he needed to leave the area immediately, as the police notoriously rounded up everyone in the vicinity of any unusual noisy mob like this.

Again, somewhere in his mind, just below the conscious level, it registered his hand had brushed a flat surface, yet he was at least two full strides from the nearest solid structure, and no other person was near him. As he ran down an alley leading away behind the shops, his mind suspended the signals for awhile. All his attention was focused on getting away from the plaza, and this meant zig zagging through a warren of alleys, ancient stairways, porticoes, etc.

Alone in his bed that night, he dozed, troubled with insistent mental activity just off to one side of his exhaustion. Suddenly he came upright. As the fuzz and smoky dream world faded, the image stood in stark clarity: His hand had brushed a flat surface where there should have been open air. He glanced at the spot on the edge of his hand, which in memory tingled from the feel of something almost like fine-grained sandpaper. He didn’t sleep any more that night, as he struggled to connect the odd sensation with a specific place.

For reasons no could ever explain, he failed to match the place with the experience. The next day, after finishing his job, he wandered, searching for the place where the river, which meandered throughout the entire city, had been drained for the bridge repair. He never found any sign of it. Just about every open plaza faced the river, backed by pretty much the same architecture. So he kept checking each bakery, as there were dozens. He walked around in front of each, but worried about putting his hands out like a blind man. Odd behavior like that brought too much attention, first from some helpful passerby, and then the ubiquitous police.

Still, he persisted in an almost feverish effort every evening. Each night, he went home and slept poorly, if at all. It was always the same. As soon as the real world began slipping away, the sensation would strike him with forceful clarity, and the glimpse of the framework haunted him. Finally, he decided there was no point in going back to his tiny apartment, since he wasn’t going to sleep. Instead, he vowed to stop and wait until it got dark, when feeling his way around would not draw so much attention.

Having numbered each plaza in his mind, he went to the first in the sequence and waited. It occurred to him he was very lucky it was Friday night, when wandering around until the wee hours of the morning was not all that unusual. As he sat, his mind wandered again through all the possible explanations. His tentative conclusion was utterly insane: One part of that plaza, at least, was fake. There was some kind of screen covering the real world, and an image was projected onto this screen which no one seemed to notice. As it rose upward, to prevent a wandering gaze from noticing the distortion as from standing too close to a theater movie screen, he figured it was formed of angled panels, or perhaps even curved. Somehow, his brief exposure from an unusually low angle of view had allowed him to see through a gap in these various sections of the projection screen.

Or he was completely insane. It was almost dark, and the window in the bakery was dark. Just another five minutes…

Just a Reminder: Evil Lives

Posted on July 9, 2009 by ehurst

So, for some years I have been trying to share some of my understanding based on my experiences working in and around the federal government of the US. Frankly, it was incompetent foolishness by federal marshals, followed by intransigent defense of that idiocy, which turned me from supporting the government to deploring it.

It’s one thing to experience stupidity backed by bureaucratic CYA. Malice should not imputed where incompetence will explain things. What I want everyone to remember is why so very many federal bureaucrats and agents are so consistently stupid. There are people at the top who really do want to see some of us dead. They use the idiot army of bureaucrats to make it happen. That’s why really competent and honest people are driven out of government service.

For example, I am utterly certain a limited number of high-ranking individuals in government, with some buddies not in government service, considered 9-11 to be a moderately successful project. To the degree any actual Muslim radicals were involved, they were patsies, hired and directed by Mossad. The CIA cooperated, of course. But we already knew one had to be a soulless child of Satan to work in such clandestine services. Still, major government figures in high office were even worse. No, not just greedy enough to take billions of dollars to allow it to happen. They rejoiced to see thousands slaughtered, and many more permanently disabled, because they knew it would increase their discretionary authority to do even worse things.

In the end, they are actively seeking to create a situation where we will be solidly enslaved. That is, every living, breathing soul, will be forced to live in conditions more degrading and heartbreaking than what many black slaves suffered here in the US during our first century. You and I simply can’t fathom that level of evil. Nightmarish movies don’t do it justice. It’s the same evil that sees children raped while their parents are forced to watch, then the children slowly tortured to death.

Evil walks the earth right now.

No Secrets Before God

Posted on July 8, 2009 by ehurst

For the past few years, I have been fervently praying God would bring to light the secret sins of our federal government. This is the sort of prayer that is based on the Laws of Noah, so it does not require anything more than sincerity. Now, I can’t guarantee those revelations will be reported in the mainstream media, but those seeking the truth can find it. Since then, I’ve been watching the nitty gritty nasties slipping out across the Net.

Here’s an old one: FDIC Insurance Fund – It Doesn’t Actually Exist. If I understand correctly, the original source is a PDF record of congressional hearings from back in 2000.

More recently: Former Monsanto VP May Be Named To Head FDA Safety Working Group. This guy thinks meat processing is too slow. I’ve worked a few times in meat packing plants. Safety is a joke, for both workers and the consumers who eat that stuff. I don’t blink at eating link sausages after seeing them made, but I avoid the stuff made at the plants where I worked. And the new FDA bigshot wants to make it faster.

And then we have a big maybe: Goldman Code Theft BOMBSHELL? In recent news, it was revealed a former employee of Goldman stole some sort of software or secret used by the company to always profit from market trades. Perhaps they were just running a sniffer on the wire used by the NYSE to track the trades before they were actually committed, and making instant trades just before those commitments came through, based on what they managed to sift out. So a few minutes before someone sells a ton of shares on some company, Goldman gets wind of it and sells theirs first. They get the bigger margin, while the sale they “sniffed” will have come after their sale, and may actually end up losing some profit.

Oh, and what’s the difference between a terrorist car bomb and a drone missile attack? The latter is more expensive.

Over the past few years, I have rejected most inoculations. I’m not sure you can believe this little piece, since Alex Jones is more make-a-buck huckster than exposer of hidden truths. Still, this story bluntly states what I believed in the first place, particularly about flu vaccines. Once the slightest whiff of “mandatory” gets in the air around any federal medical provisions, it’s likely to kill more than it saves. You can come up with your own reasons why, but I no longer trust anyone serving in government. At the same time, it wouldn’t surprise me if such inflammatory rhetoric is aimed at stirring up an armed revolt on purpose. Do you suppose The Powers That Be (TPTB) plan to kill folks both ways?

So you see the range here. Some are easily confirmed, others can’t be confirmed until it’s too late. Either way, God knows it already, and we all can sincerely pray it all leaks out so no one has any excuse for being a dupe, a lamb for the slaughter which has no good purpose.
