The World needs the "RIGHT" Michael Moore

What the world needs, now, is not LOVE, sweet love, as the old song puts it. What the world needs, now, desperately, is the right-wing antidote to Michael Moore. He and his ilk must believe they're in left-wing heaven, and that those in the stupid party really are DUMB. Why doesn't someone like Ann Coulter team up with a Rush Limbaugh, say, a Roger Ailes, a David Horowitz and some professional movie makers and copy Moore's mocking foolishness, but only show the truly idiotic crap lefties have THOUGHT they got away with. Imagine a long film that gave us the actual worst moments of Ted Kennedy, from at least Chappaquiddick, up till today's ignorant rants!

Since the inhabitants of this country are so pristinely divided, surely there exists a huge audience yearning for something funny and TRUE about the lefties. The fact that so many conservative books (such as by the estimable Ms. Coulter) sell so many copies proves this. Another fact about movies buttresses this idea---family flicks rated G make much more money that the racy, violent scum rated R and worse.

Besides the joy brought to the more conservative tribe, such a no-holds-barred REAL documentary would elicit stuck-pig howls of offended PAIN from the stickees. Can't you just picture the lawyerly cries of "UNFAIR!"? Isn't it way past the time for putting up with the pounding from the minority tribe, the left-wing, and their elitist major media 'terror' masters?

Honest, and HONORABLE, humor may just be the ultimate weapon in the freedom-lover's arsenal. Let's be brutally, do-or-die real, here. The scary fact that almost half of the human race falls for the excrement from types like Michael Moore DEMANDS that those awake humans, who understand what a dire situation mankind is in, get as creative as possible to educate those 'wretched people'. Yes. As the saying on the Statue of Liberty puts it---'send me the wretched and the poor'. Well, 'they' is here, NOW! So, when is the RIGHT going to come to their senses, and learn from their enemy? Ann Coulter was on target calling leftists TRAITORS.

You know that feel-good 'take your daughter to work' idea? Well, certainly there are enough rightists with left-wing friends, who could take THEM to see such a movie. What must happen is an awakening in consciousness by the swing voters, so perhaps a humorous movie could do the trick, for more and more fooled sheep in the left-wing plantation.

Who knows? Maybe Michael Moore is showing us the way to a brand new genre of movie, and the competition rightists bring will take it to a PROFITABLE new level of political art.

The Clinton Cargo Cult

I wondered how, exactly, IT-ALL would play out, when Bill Clinton cashed in his lottery ticket = sold his book. Now he's back on top of the media world, it's starting to become clear. The death of Reagan brought us some refreshed memories for a few weeks, and now the glow is quickly dying out, of its own accord, as well as being outshined by the 'life' of Clinton, among other major things. With the election in November as the SUPER "VITAL" BOWL, that absolutely MUST be won by Dubya, taken as the goal above all other goals, politically, for the whole world, the daily question has to be---"How does the latest affect THAT?"

Today I read a three offerings from my set of most respected writing 'friends', people I've never met or communicated with, personally--- my own daily wining trifecta lottery ticket, cashed in----thank you very much, Rueven Brenner, Paul Johnson and Emmett Tyrell! Brenner graced the noosphere with a long historical analysis that divided human societies into two categories, "mobile" and "immobile". The other two offered up tasty bashes of Clinton, including the 'worse' half, the wife. From these, and all the rest of the detritus washing up onto the shore of consciousness of voters, and those polled, DAILY, I was inspired to connect some dots.

Media MAGIC

A recent article noted that only 34% of Americans still get their news from the nightly news brainwashing us from ABC, NBC and CBS---maybe CNN, too, I forget. The interesting number was the 13% of Republicans who are part of that group. A little math reveals that around 55% of Democrats (or probably less since we have to take into account Independents) continue to rely on the old dinosaurs, Dan, Peter and Tom. In other words, the "Tom, Dick and Harry" three stooges DO have a good hold on their customers, and it will take many years for this to change very much. We simply have to accept that at least 40% of the public will always be in the deluded Clinton-loving camp.

"Good-News" Clinton!

If I were John Kerry, or even any other leader in the Demon-cratic party, these days, I'd be fit to be tied because of the scene-stealing Clinton. I can vividly recall going on an ecstatic night walk to the store to get some wine, in the summer of 1992, to celebrate the certain defeat of Clinton, after hearing the details of his draft dodging. I believed that with it becoming very public knowledge, finally---not just on the Rush Limbaugh show--that he was a pot smoking, womanizing draft dodger, the American public would never elect him President. Ah, but I didn't figure on the Perot influence. Doubtlessly, if he had not run, I would have been correct. While Perot talked about opening the hood and fixing the engine, HE ended up being the wrench thrown into it, and causing it to throw a rod---Clinton's ROD!

However! All's well that ends well. Taking the big picture into account, the political legacy of Clinton's eight years as President is that he caused, and IS still causing, the demise of the Democratic ENGINE. Yes, he was SO BAD that he allowed the danger of terrorism to become civilization threatening since he failed to do his first DUTY, which is defend and protect the Constitution of the United States and her PEOPLE, so it will take many years to heal the cancer he watched grow on his UN-watch. On balance, though, if the 'mobile' civilized TRADING world is wise, courageous and lucky, by dint of Clinton's 'service' the denouement between freedom-lovers and enslavers will turn out good.

Clinton Cargo Cult

Rueven Brenner used the Cargo Cult story to bolster his thesis about 'mobile' verses 'immobile' societies. When finishing Tyrell's article, it hit me---for the Democrats Clinton is a CARGO CULT, in person! Just as the natives on that Pacific island 'worshiped' the manna-from-heaven cargo planes in their particular way, long after they stopped coming, today's band of BOTHERERS running the extreme left-wing conspiracy, named the Democratic party, have (and will have, hopefully until at least next November) Clinton to---KICK AROUND! Dear old Nixon had the patriotic good sense to leave the spotlight, but that's impossible for Clinton---and all his extreme lovers.

Therefore, be happy that he and his wife and all his enablers continue to be the HOGS---what's the nickname of the University of Arkansas?---they are, by being the DIS-loyal opposition throughout the noosphere. You see, Clinton and the Clintonistas are the living embodiment of the trite AND true saying---"Familiarity breeds contempt." The cargo airplane that was Clinton will be somewhat different from the one in the Pacific, which brought physical GOODS to the natives. Our current Cargo BOY, the still slick Willie, always brought the public a non-stop series of STORIES of evil-doing, which served to titillate the righteous Conservatives with anger, and the hedonistic leftists with stoned nihilistic laughter. (BTW, the profound AND true saying epitomized by Reagan and the Reaganites is "Absence makes the heart grow fonder.")

As the summer turns to fall and events come to their conclusion, there will most likely be one common 'product' delivered by the Clinton Cargo 'plane'---LIES on top of LIES. It will certainly be interesting to see the effect of the Clinton Cargo 'plane'. If enough people are able to wake up, maybe the Clinton 'excess baggage' will convert some wishy-washy Leftists from their feel-good attachments, as well as help grow the Conservative base, which could result in a blowout win for Bush.

Terrorism verses Tourism

Born to CHOOSE

One man's Tour-ISM is another man's Terror-ISM, or is it vice versa, or is it both, or is it neither? Who can say? Let me go on Tour, see the world, by joining the word navy, now.

Why is any ONE born?

By seeming to split off from the ONE and ONLY, a 'this' ONE gets to experience a reality with an inside AND an outside, said experience BEING continually permeated by----FEELING. Humans, admittedly, BEING of a higher consciousness than all levels under them, from quarks to plants to animals, also THINK, by forming mental distinctions with which to enrich IT-ALL, driven by the competitive urge of FEEL MORE, always MORE, MORE, MORE! Thus, the current good life of high ORDER, in America, proves how the roads mostly taken can turn out.

There is, however, the road less traveled, in the direction of DIS-ORDER---witness the ever-present people best labeled as Terror-ISTS. On the "To be or not to be" spectrum, there must always be those who FEEL too much pain and express that by a bitter urge to NOT-BE, and the worst of the worst become so nihilistically fanatic, they choose a raison d'etre to empower them to try to exterminate as many others who don't conform to their beliefs.

Tour-ISM

Feeling and Being are absolutely ONE. This permeates all fluctuations of IT-ALL, so it's vital to accentuate the ESSENTIAL "-ISM" modifier on "Tour-ISM" and "Terror-ISM", and, indeed, at least randomly acknowledge that "-ISM" is everywhere. After all, if a thing IS not, what are we noticing? "-ISM" = BEING-NESS. When we get personal by labeling a human as a "Tour-IST", say, it's even more wonderful to recognize the eternal truth of BEING---"-IST" = "One who IS, or in more active words, Being ONE".

Now and anon, the "Being ONE" lives in a triple world, right after birth. A gross way to put it is that snapping into two parts from the ONE produces ONE'S 'after birth', and there's no choice but to play the chosen game. The three big parts are---1.) the Feel-ER, the Experience-ER; 2.) the Felt; the Experience-ED; and 3.) the Feel-ING, the Experience-ING. The first is the "WHO", the second the "WHAT" and the third? This ONE doesn't seem to want to be easily denoted. Maybe the best way to understand all words ending in "-ING" is as follows---consider the entire event 'See-ING'. Eyeballs, extensions of the wave plucking brain, OPEN, and cannot help but capture present fluctuations of the electromagnetic spectrum. For our purposes, we have to remember that most sane adults long ago learned to differentiate the ONE light into coherent entities, so OPEN eyes connect with named THINGS, yielding the marriage of many "WHATS" to the ONE "WHO" sees. Thus, perhaps the "See-ING" is the re-union of IT-ALL, the coming back together, coming to get 'HER', of "WHO" and "WHAT".

In this 'mood', then, coming to be, as BEING, can playfully be understood as infinite Tour-ISM. It's even possible to envelope the whole shebanging FIELD, in consciousness, of Space-Time, a la Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Alan Watts had a great analogy---the ALL, as humans, is like a submarine poking its periscope above the water to SEE what's outside it.

In CW terms, "Tour-ISM" is taken to be an industry, and people who can afford it get to spend a few vacation weeks, say, at exotic places, every year. Depending on their power, in money terms, there is a wide range of possibilities for people. However, the hard and cold 'fact' is that "Tour-ISM" is a rare event. It's my contention, here and now, though, that "Tour-ISM" is always happening, essentially, via being born as a separate BEING. In short, despite the learned assumptions, every ONE is ever on VACATION, wherever they ARE, whatever they're DOING, whatever they're BELIEVING, however they're FEELING--- who cares what THOUGHTS arise? Living is an infinite TOUR, oh so GRAND. Keep on teeing off!

Terror-ISM

What about today's biggie, Terror-ISM? It seems to me that Terror-ISTS, while alive, are also Tour-ISTS. They represent, as already said, the nihilistic tendency, the desire to bring it all, IT-ALL, to an end. Their FEELING of BEING is so painful, so full of suffering, that they are like cornered rats, pushed to the end gaming PLAY, the ploy of BEING ALREADY DEAD, and acting it out.

"Sitting quietly, spring comes, and the grass grows" battles with "If it is to be, it is up to me".

It's always a case of boredom, discomfort, doubt and pain needing to be assuaged, which can be part of the understanding of the GRAND TOUR that evolves. The ultimate NEED is to transcend all the Tour-ING going on. Remember, no matter where any 'you' goes, that is where 'you' are at. To boot, no matter what time it is for any 'you', that is what time it is for 'you'.

A way, a TAO, of flying LEVEL is to understand that there's never anything to attain, that any THIS is it, IT-ALL, which means learning to be resolutely committed to shining your BS detector, eternally. Whatever arises is IT-ALL, and there's no NEED to change IT-ALL in order to be released from bondage. The bond age, for this 'James', is long over.

Am "I" happy?

Can any "I" be happy? What is "happy", anyway? The ONE paradox at once saves any "I" as it re-cognizes its illusion. Maybe I only THINK I'm happy, and am thus a deluded fool. It could be that THAT is 'my' karmic form of Terror-ISM within the currently plucked plethora of electromagnetic wavelengths, 'my' special GRAND TOUR.

Tour 'me' up, Scottie!

Information IN Formation?

The question arose last night, "Hungry, mentally?" All kinds of analogies instantly clashed in my civilized mind, since anyone who might know me would be aware that FOOD is one of my happy warrioring interests, or is that obsessions? As I write this I'm chewing a most tasty and satisfying mixture of long grain brown rice, lentils, celery, onion, yeast, miso, curry, and the literal capper, MUSTARD. Yum yum!

While I vacuumed the floor, about half an hour ago, I ruminated about that mental hunger question, and "INFORMATION" stung consciousness by bringing up the next leading MAN question, "Is INFORMATION in FORMATION?" I bet the word 'FORMATION' was there for the picking because I zoned out last night by finally allowing the time and effort to watch "Band of Brothers" on The History Channel for about three hours---more about that, later.

When it comes to the mental APPETITE and DIET, it sure seems easy to me to analyze the hundreds of tribes of humans. For a whole lot of them, they are essentially being brainwashed, which is indeed a BAD DIET. Think of the Muslim crazies. Then, in Africa, there are so many humans literally clawing a dirt-poor living out of poor dirt INFORMATION-starved societies. Here's a specific example from a book I'm currently enjoying, "The Riemann Hypothesis---the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" by Karl Sabbagh: in the world of mathematicians there's a man from India, Srinivasa Ramanujan, who so impressed the most famous mathematician in England, G.H. Hardy, that he arranged for him to join him there. This was in 1913. They collaborated until 1920, when Ramanujan died prematurely at the age of 30. The suspected cause of death was the inability to get Indian food in Britain, due to World War One shortages---now that's some FOOD for THOUGHT worth currying! You could say the CURRY OVER trades weren't happening.

Picture a spectrum of "true Information IN FORMATION". Let the left end---how appropriate!---be where there's total DIS-ORDER = CHAOS, and the right end where there's the most and best possible truth in the INFORMATION IN FORMATION, with varying degrees in between. I think the word "TRUE" is the best CLUE leading to understanding what's going on, here. This "TRUE" stands for HONESTY, transparency, honored contracts, free trade, etc.

Of course economics already has MONEY to tell the truth about all this. Hence, the far right leader is the USA, and the far left losers abound in many places where much false INFORMATION isn't even IN FORMATION, so BOUND are they to chaos. Even in America, the hot house of competition between states, a discernable disparity exists between the Arkansas' and Connecticut's, for example.

In order for true INFORMATION to continue to get into better and better FORMATION, it's the retrograde BROKERS who have to be constantly battled---witness the struggle between the NYSE and the Nasdaq, with the floor brokers holding out as long as possible, doing the getting while the getting is still good. The thrust is ever for FREE GOODS, though, for FREE BEING, simply, which is just a way of saying we all want to be GOD, or at least a KING. This is where mathematics leads the way, since it is always the game of trying to do, by SAYING, the most with the least, and at the infinite limit, ultimate FREEDOM is doing and SAYING ALL = EVERYTHING with ZERO = NOTHING. Yes, ALL for ONE, and NONE for ALL!

What else can be said about true INFORMATION IN FORMATION? For me the word "FORMATION" conjures up Mussolini and the fascists, which comes from phalanges, fingers, with bad consequences from the order of men being imposed. Paradoxically, as was noticeable from "Band of Brothers", the fighters were always spread out when called for, to lessen the likelihood of a huge wipeout---the well-known to army veterans 'route step', when marching across a bridge, comes to mind. Probably more relevant these Internet days is the concept of distributed centers of power. Here is a beautiful way to understand the power of the MARKET.

Another way to apply the "true INFORMATION IN FORMATION" idea is to weaken the word 'true'. So, you could have the CW for a France be true for THEM, while false for Americans, say. This can be seen as another example of markets in action, where CW(France) battles it out with CW(America), and the same thing happening all over the Earth.

How about that "Band of Brothers"?

How appropriate for that program to be available these days. It's like it took the breakthrough realism from "Saving Private Ryan" and extended it for many hours. For someone of my generation who always 'knew' "To Hell and Back", from 1955---almost half a century!---was the greatest, that it was possible to suspend disbelief enough to get INTO "Band of Brothers" was quite a happy surprise. The action was so amazing and happened so often, and the range of characters so wide, that I was totally seduced into watching until it ended. Usually, nowadays, I can't help but flip around channels, and rarely do I find anything that I have to see. When advertising interrupts whatever, I almost always jump around, and a lot of time settle for a while on the next best show, sometimes forgetting what show I'd come from, and where it was playing. But not last night.

The climactic moment for me came when a reluctant and afraid soldier named Blythe was confronted by an officer in the middle of a firefight, as he cowered in his fox hole. The discussion was crystal clear, as it centered on fear and how to deal with it. The officer put it simply---when you become an infantryman and enter a battle, accept that you are already DEAD, and then do your best. This made me think of Ray Charles' song, "Born to Lose", and changing it to "Born to DIE" for a soldier.

We are IT-ALL, ALL soldiers. Once BORN, death can 'take place' at any 'time', and so we are all already dead, ALL WAYS. Also, each passing instant is at once DEAD, so we die AND are born in each eternal present. Yes, we are BORN to DIE, and we DIE to be BORN. It's the mysterious IN BETWEEN that seems so weird---that space-time we spend BEING dead-alive. It's not IT-ALL about bringing 'em back, dead OR alive. IT-ALL is beyond ANY horizon imaginable.

Imagine THAT!
