On many allegedly liberal sites we can't criticize Lieberman and now on others we can't criticize the Clintons!

Lieberman is obvious. After all he's a clone of Israeli Likud Party types who are all of a piece of the neocon cabal which answers ONLY to the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing, and which has been wagging American foreign policy like a tail for the last eight plus years. Sure would be nice if America belonged to Americans, wouldn't it?

And now, taboo number two. WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE CLINTONS. Dear God, how far does the power the DLC/Clinton's reach? They (and the Lieberman lovers) are doing what we thought could never be done. They are controlling the internet.

Try it out. Send a critical piece to most of the major "liberal" sites and if you go after Lieberman, you probably will get an astoundingly obscene personal email from the "editor" about what a pig you are to DARE to criticize Lieberman's association with the Israeli extremist right wing. Believe me, it's happened to me. I won't directly name the site, but the response was pure hate, totally personal, and from the chief editor of the site. Let's see, the site was about smiling monkeys -- something like that.

And the Clintons apparently still "own" many (most?) pseudo liberal sites. If you say something negative about the Clinton egomaniacs (who STILL haven't endorsed Obama!), they'll put a block on your piece. Or more generally, they'll write an elaborate rationalization about why we should have never have town meetings among ourselves about how that cancerous block in the "Democratic Party" is dramatically helping to elect John McCain. And since John McCain equals WW3 and will start several Middle Eastern wars in the first few month of his presidency (which will lead to China and Russia declaring war on us), that seems to be an infinitely masochistic strategy.

May I suggest you listen very carefully to the talk good 'ol Bill is supposed to give at Obama's convention. And you tell me if EVEN THEN he gives Barrack Obama an unqualified endorsement. No, you wait and see, he'll keep slipping in references to 2012 and Hillary and water down as much as possible any endorsement of Obama in 2008. The Clinton's have fallen off some kind of moral cliff, and are still a suicidal part of the problem, not the solution.

Op-Ed News is a wonderful exception, allowing whatever respectful dialogue is central to where we are now as a nation. Disagreements may abound, but isn't that the nature of internet town hall meetings? None of us expect across the board agreement with what we write, but we do expect NOT TO BE CENSORED for writing material that supports Barack Obama and is outraged by the absolute control the Israeli right wing extremists have over "American" (what a laugh!) foreign policy.

Guess what? We DO get to talk about these tragedies and moral/political atrocities. Why? Because we are Americans and we not only should be "allowed" such observations, but we are morally/intellectually OBLIGATED to shine the spotlight on people like the Clintons (who keep trashing Obama) and Joe Lieberman (who keeps trashing America).

So these decidedly UN-liberal sites can stick their political and nationalistic prejudices where the sun doesn't shine. This is still the United States of America and we are self destructive fools if we let these "editors" muzzle the views of passionately, patriotic American citizens.

As always, the challenge is to begin where we are, not where we'd like to be.

Where we'd like to be is supporting a strong liberal presidential candidate, not someone who instantly began sucking up to Israeli right wing extremists and who has already sold most of his campaign to right, NOT left, of center individuals and organizations.

But that's what we've got.

That's Barack Obama.

The problem is who is this man?

The guy who was a prophet of change during the primaries (which WON him the primaries!). Hillary, conversely, was status quo incarnate and now she's scrounging for crumbs and probably won't get them.

So who's got a trusty crystal ball? Is this guy for real, or is he just another pain in the ass Republican-Democrat who lies to the skies? We know all about Republican-Democrats, so who/what is Barack Obama?

He's certainly in the right place and the right time, but is he just another DLC/RNC clone?

Let's face it, the jury is out. He might be anything. Once thing is for sure. He has done a major about face after getting the nomination. But, maybe he knows what he's doing since, let’s face it, no one wins anything who is disconnected from the political center.

The torturing fact is that he's the only game in town. Jeez, McCain is already showing his hand and this man is out of the box nuts. He's Mr. WW3, and in a matter of weeks after being elected (God forbid), nukes will be criss crossing the planet like birds. The Russians and Chinese will have declared war on us (since McCain will have started wars all over the Middle East), and bye, bye western civilization. McCain is walking death. He's also almost certainly already sliding down the Alzheimer's road, so think how much fun it will be to have a president in diapers who has 100% control of enough nuclear weaponry to literally destroy the Earth.

The point is, HE'S THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO "wild card" Obama -- which means it really comes down to Obama vs. WW3.

Which isn't a choice.

The perfect description of what's now happening in the United States of America is that we've up to our armpits in a class war. Of course, the 1% vampire rich elites are winning hands down since they have all the power and money.

But class wars have a way of turning into . . . revolutions. So there really IS a "third option" to both Obama and McCain, and it's starting to very, very steadily manifest itself. We would be criminally foolish if we totally discounted this possibility. When the lower in middle classes of a country are going down for the third time in the excrement of the vampire rich one percent "upper class" (yes, "upper" like Greek Gods), all bets are off on consistent stability. When 99% of a country is getting screwed long enough and horribly enough by the elite 1%, people start whispering about revolution.

Let's face it. Politics was INVENTED by the elites to keep the rest of us in cattle pens. But cattle can easily break through cattle pens if there are enough of them and they are being basically tortured and turned into elite hamburger (like our cannon fodder children).

So the Obama, McCain business may turn into much ado about nothing.

Indeed, it is a near certainty that if Obama turns out be belong to the dark side (e.g., the Israeli and American fascist right wing) and/or the 2008 Presidential election is stolen (like the year 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections), then politics will probably (?) be ignored and replaced by some kind of social cataclysm.

Not a talk revolution or a theoretical revolution but a historical revolution.

The bow has been stretched back too far and the arrow of MASSIVE SOCIAL CHANGE is very, very close.

No more murder and rape of Mother Nature. No more trashing of retirements and health care programs. No more turning our children into cannon fodder for oil wars for the vampire rich. No more spitting on science and medical research. No more killing what's left of our economy by gigantic tax breaks for the pig, pig rich (like no taxes on yachts in California). No more poisoning the water, air, and oceans. My God, this list can go on and on and it make take a literal revolution to stop this insane rush to the agonizing extinction of humankind.

So, Obama, you better turn out to be what you pretended to be in the primaries and election-stealers be warned. A social Armageddon may be closer than you think.

The American middle and lower classes (i.e., 99% of the country) are NOT going to go gently into any goodnight.

Message to the elites: In your wildest dreams you can't imagine the critical mass of rage which is now rumbling EVERYWHERE. The Have and Have Not horror is going to turn out NOT be an "irresistible force" when it meets the "immovable object" of human condition survival. We are not going to let you kill our children, our country, and the planet, so if this election is criminally corrupt AGAIN (!), trust me, you will not like what will be waiting for you. May I say that again? YOU WILL NOT LIKE WHAT WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU!

How sad and tragic that we've come to this point, but this is ultimate beginning where we are, and no mistake!

If liberals don’t give Obama total benefit of the doubt, we will "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" . . . again!!!

It's astounding how many perfectionist liberals are still threatening to reject Obama because of his recent centrist remarks -- and because he's not Hillary.

Hey, this is politics! YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUPPORT FROM THE CENTER.

Obama well knows this and is doing what he must do. Plus, much of this is Republican hype, since Obama is still mostly saying centrist/liberal things, and centrist/liberal may not be perfectionist liberal, but its still 5 light years to the left of Bush.

Nadir (spelled with an "i") probably injured the United States of American more than any American who ever lived in the year 2000 Presidential “election”, so let's not repeat his insanity of committing political suicide in the name of politically meaningless (and in his case) egocentric talk.

The rubber is starting to hit the road and its Obama or the certain extinction of what's left our Democracy. McCain clearly doesn't have a full deck and every time you see him his face is literally red with hate and rage. I never thought I would think this, but McCain would almost certainly be five times worse than Bush. He is living for World War 3, and that would almost immediately turn nuclear, so please, please, please, KEEP SUPPORTING OBAMA.

The empirical evidence is also that McCain is ALREADY well on the way the senility and Alzheimer’s. Under different circumstances, this would be grounds for compassion, but this is the real world and the thought of a president in diapers, with 100% access to enough atomic weaponry to totally kill the planet is terrifying.

The thing about Obama is that he never seems to make a major mistake. Some may debate this, but remember Kerry's wrist slitting during the 2004 debate when he made those infinitely stupid remarks about Cheney's gay daughter. You could hear the groan across the nation.

And Gore had his criminally stupid moment during the "debate" with Bush when he walked up to Bush to (what?) "physically intimidate Bush with his size". It made Gore look like a total moron. That may well have been the tipping point of the debates (apart from the stolen election).

Well, Obama is still carrying on with articulate, presidential dignity and shows every sign of continuing to do so until he becomes our next president of the United States.

Yes, he has moved away from the prophet of change that worked so well for him in the primaries, but where he is now is NOT the primaries and all the political game rules are different.

Also, he still has plenty time to weave the change vision back into his speeches. I think you can take it to the bank that his speech at the conventions will be about virtually NOTHING BUT change.

So, let's give the guy a chance. He knew what he was doing in the primaries (which was an almost impossible victory) and here's one American who thinks he still knows EXACTLY what he's doing in his race with no brain McCain.

Plus, the odds makers in Las Vegas are still overwhelming for Obama and there's no political poll, good, bad, or otherwise, that is as reliable as these very hard core (remember, literally billions of dollars are at stake) odds makers.

So, God bless America and God bless President Obama. What we saw in the primaries is still the heart and soul of the man.

How did God Bless America get reduced to an attack dog for the Israeli right wing?

And while we are at it, how did we get reduced to the atomic weaponry sugar daddy for the Israeli right wing?

Here's another question that never seems to be asked. What in God's name is the convoluted relation between Muslim fossil fuels and the Israeli right wing?

Over and over and over again we come back to the Israeli right wing. The Bush’s neocon cabal is all of a piece with the most extreme radicals of another country (our friends and allies?) and they have been wagging American foreign policy like a tail for the last eight plus years.

What ever happened to Americans controlling our OWN foreign policy? Back to the title of this piece, the question of questions is how did we get metamorphosed into the attack dog of another country? It's OUR children who are being turned into cannon fodder for the agendas of right wing crazies -- both American and Israeli.

Talk about a marriage made in hell, we also can't overlook the vile bond between that army of Christian Fundamentalists and their Israeli counterparts. A connection which dragging both Israel and Americans straight to hell.

Most of this is never talked about because these psychos keep trying to hide behind the smoke screen of anti Semitism. But this has NOTHING to do with anti Semitism any more than it has to do with the Jewish community at large (which seems overwhelmingly to want a two country solution to the Israeli/Palestinian "conflict").

It also has NOTHING to do with the State of Israel in general. God knows, we don't want (or deserve) the United States of America to be identified with our right wing crazies, and neither does Israel want or deserve that. For example, we shouldn't forget that Israel's Labor Party is courageously more liberal than what used to be the American Democratic Party.

No, the issue is ONLY Israel's right wing crazies, but these people are off the chart psychotic and righteous. Multi millionaire and billionaire religious fanatics are the absolute bottom of human spiritual/moral existence. So why do we bark when they tell us to bark, and why do we bite when the tell us to bite? And most of all, why do we slaughter our children when the tell us to slaughter our children?

God in heaven, it's time to take away from them their ONLY defense, which is to totally ignore their hypocritical phrase, "anti Semitic". Tragically, there are depressingly many times when that ugly shoe still fits. Of course, exactly the same thing is true for the slurs endured by basically all other countries, but when used by the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing, it is simply a strategic smoke screen to cover their self obsessed agendas. And if that weren't disgusting enough, they don't even use it properly historically. They should do their homework and dig into the deep historical roots of "Semitic".

But I'm not going to do it for them, these evil, right wing, vampire rich psychopaths have got to do it for themselves.

Surely giving them a river of our children's blood and enough atomic weaponry to annihilate half the planet should be enough.

America for Americans -- not the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing.

In a bathtub or small river and lake, you can splash around with a kind of dominance. But in the North Atlantic, the "forces of nature" are God.

It has been wonderfully said that Nature doesn't belong to us; we belong to nature. And that includes politics, religion, and the vampire rich.

A "paradigm shift" is a fancy way to say the context and matrix of events is mutating from the outside in. The "current" of events is turning and simmering in unpredictable ways.

In placid (often cowardly) times, the currents are passive and obedient, and the future is a predictable status quo. This is the DLC and these are the Republican Democrats whose stench gags bacteria on Mars.

BUT, April Fool!, what's coming up from the depths of planet Earth is a paradigm shift revolution. The "mind set" of the human species is changing and forces are at work which are beginning to roll over the trash of institutionalized religion and fascist politics like a tidal wave.

The seabirds of revolutionary change are everywhere. Now we must be very clear about this. This change is not "up to us" to create. This is change which is changing us. The human species itself is in a "growth spurt".

For years the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing controlled American foreign policy like a dog wagging a tail. They still do, but increasingly Americans are waking up to truths like Joe Lieberman answers to multi millionaire and billionaire Israeli right wing extremists. Indeed, the whole neocon cable belongs to Likud Party types.

Hence, one of the paradigm shifts is waking up to the nauseating realization that our country, our God Bless America BELONGS to these Israeli right wing extremists. Meaning? They are not our "friends and allies"; they are vampire rich, brain dead religious fanatics who are lethal parasites in America. They are using our children like cannon fodder to further their self obsessed agendas. Just listen to a speech by Joe Lieberman and you'll hear it all.

And our press and entertainment industry? Also puppets of the same Israeli right wing fanatics.

So long as we play this 60 IQ game that the Israeli right wing has ANY allegiance to the United States of America, we are doomed to keep squandering our wealth, atomic weaponry, and the lives of our children in order to idiotically march to the agendas of what may well be the most concentrated collection of murder-in-the-name-of-God nutcases on planet Earth.

Do they represent the State of Israel in general? Of course not, any more than OUR right wing crazies speak for our nation in general. However, they have wormed their way into Bush's brain pan (or pot?) and play him like a puppet. The neocon cabal has been the true control center of the United States of America for the last 8+ years.

But, back to the paradigm shift which the neocon cabal totally didn't anticipate. There's chemistry now at work in our country which is increasingly challenging our mindless obedience to Israeli right wing extremists.

One measure of this is the degree to which Senator Joe Lieberman has become the very archetype of betrayal and disloyalty to the United States of America.

Hey Joe, it's one thing to trash your allegiance to the Democratic Party, but it's quite another to do the same to America. Why don't you just move to the country you suck up to -- and even barnyard animals know that's not the United States of America.

And oh yes, while you’re at it, please take the cancerous, anti American neocon cabal with you while you're at it.

The Everything Game

What would you do if you began to realize you were playing a vast social/political/worldly game whose number one game rule was that the game wasn't really a game at all?

The problem is how would you communicate this to the other game players? After all, wouldn't they be mystified or offended or even threatened if you suggested they were "lost in a game"?

Let's think of this as the "Everything Game", because it would be a game, so to speak, without boundaries. So long as you played the game, you would be defined by the game and you could never, never find any secret, hidden place within the game in which the game wasn't king.

Even if you tried to stop playing the game, that would just be a new variation of the game.

You could take drugs; go to Tibet, pray, meditate, be a scientist, whatever, whatever, but the Everything Game would always have the last laugh. Paying bills, getting into arguments, going to funerals, watching movies, fantasizing about the future, regretting the past, etc., etc., etc. All Everything Game.

Now let's imagine that you woke up from this game, like waking up from a nightmare or a waking dream. You just "snapped out of it" and were living and breathing in a non game place or dimension.

In fact, what if the social/political/worldly game turned out to be "you"?

Then what?

We are a slob species with glorious potential for transcendence.

Morality should be our breath. It shouldn't be a fatuous word in meaningless religious games.

We are such cowards. This is our essence: cowardice. Many readers will object to this, but if we had the courage of our potential, this world would be a heaven on Earth.

The ultimate challenge for human beings is to integrate spirituality with nature. This, after all, was the vision of the Holy Grail legends. Even in the 12th Century, most people well knew morality didn't belong to inauthentic priests or bishops.

For example, the knowledge was somewhat esoteric, but many people also knew that (1.) love between two adults was real, and (2.) it had nothing necessary to do with marriage (a convenient nonsense the clergy invented to manipulate the populace). The "sacrament" of marriage -- not on this or any other planet. The priests did everything but get in bed with the married couple.

The Tristan and Isolde story deals with such things. Love, marriage, and sex. That's a real juggling act, isn't it? But with institutional marriage factored out of the equation, then humans go back to directly relating (and loving!) other humans.

The core problem is that we are (hopelessly?) entangled in social games, mostly invented by the vampire rich -- such as "politics". We are brainwashed into thinking that "political action" is the God of human existence, so we obsess about rules and laws and elections, and (pain in the ass) "commandments".

But social reality is froth and babble (as in Tower of . . . ). We aren't "social beings". We are children of the universe and have no soul or being independent of nature. This should be see spot run obvious, but most of us think nature is a virtual illusion which we much transcend with religious wackosity.

How is it possible people can think that? How is it possible that such psychosis can be the pseudo soul of our species. How can we not realize that the sky above and the heaving oceans and the morning sunrise are REALITY? Yes, use the right word. Nature is our home. It is what we are born out of and die back into.

And back the 12th Century; Nature is also spiritual. Indeed Nature and Spirituality are the same thing and we don't need words like "God" to realize it. There's certainly nothing wrong with using God as a metaphor, but that doesn't change the fact that the metaphor is a metaphor for ultimate mystery and that this ultimate mystery is all of a piece with Nature.

And it must also be added that this ultimate mystery has NOTHING essential or critical to do with institutionalized religion. Or politics. Or marriage Or ANY of the social games invented by religious fanatics and the vampire rich to enslave the human race.

Society is pragmatics. We use it like we drive a car or comb our hair, but it is not who we are! And it is not the reality which defines who we are.

Our slob civilization is grounded in social existence. EVERYTHING for us is social.

But what about the reality of nature? Is a hurricane the creation of a conversation? Can we think or talk our way to eternal life? Does religion (any religion!) even microscopically transcend nature?

The big, big intuitions and truths have caught up with us. The criminally simplistic and abstract social games have turned into the home of evil.

The out of the box analogy says it to perfection, because our true nature IS an out of the box nature. The box creatures are rapidly killing the planet because we don’t bring 10 dimensional solutions to 3 dimensional problems.

If we only “actualized our human potential”, we would transcend evil and worldly civilizations of boggling stupidity.

An ancient intuition is, “You don’t wipe off blood with blood.” Meaning, in the box problems don’t have in the box solutions. You don’t vote or buy or talk your way out of hell.

Transcendence is all. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.
