The Ultimate Thread: SJG's Soap Box

Three events in the next 24 hours that could determine whether the sell-off continues

Jump, SJG, jump !!!

Are we talking about bitcoin, I've already moved my working capital into fiat....haven't touched the HODL coins

Bitcoin going to $1,000,000,000 per coin! tuscl.net

SJG

Bitcoin: Robert Shiller is correct again and again and again...

^^^^^ link?

SJG

I don't know you all well enough to know if you're serious....I never thought it would hit that high myself, but I was shocked when it went up from 1,000$ to $20,000 in a relatively short time span. I missed out on a lot of capital gain because I mostly make money on buying from sellers and selling to buyers...My rationale was I'd always make money regardless of a bull or bear market...I've had customers buy $30K and end up with millions from buying both BTC and ETH....

People can also watch valuations rise in the short term and make money in the casinos of Las Vegas. Put $1 down, if it wins, then the valuation of that number is now $35. You get to decide if you cash our or let it ride.

SJG

Obviously the last year or so was fueled by massive speculation....I warned all my buyers...and the HYIP ponzi's going on like Bitconnect are the worst. Yet, a few still chose to invest in such nonsense....It would have been better if we never had this run....bitcoin was just fine at $200, or even $2.

youtube.com

Well, this entire country has been becoming more and more a Ponzi scheme.

I think people should put their money into their own affairs. Believing that these financial speculations are somehow better is a huge con.

SJG

@san_jose_guy,

I'm just curious, without financial market speculation how else would we finance large risky projects?

@BHF... You do realize that asking a question like that is essentially the same as making eye contact with that crazy homeless guy who sometimes chases people with a used syringe, right?

@Call.Me.Ishmael,

LOL yes, I know. But he's actually an interesting guy. I mean he's batshit crazy but he's still interesting. I'm a libertarian and he hates libertarianism, so it's not like I would vote for him for mayor or something.

I’m reading the “Art of the Deal”, so stfu SJG!

This is another thread by a guy who comments on strip clubs - but hasn’t been in a club in 20 years. What are the chances SJG has actually investments in the market that he pretends to know about? He’s a complete sham. He views the markets with snippets of information that are used only because they fit his narrative. His comments hold no credence - and his soap box simply provides us with a better view of the village idiot!

I have $1,000 I can paypal to anyone who can permanently take away SJGs internet access.

Maybe we can get a pool going to up the ante.

You guys know that you are feeding SJGs fantasies by responding to his inane drivel right.

BHO, large projects or most business expansions get very little from financial speculation markets. Rather, such markets give a class a hold on our productive future. I cite here the writings of Doug Henwood, Left Business Observer and How Wall Street Works and for Who.

And Cashman, I'm not stupid enough to waste money that could be funding my own affairs, by putting it into things which are not my own affairs. You go along with herd think and believe that things you know very little about are good, because other people tell you so.

And I am sure that you regularly get your money clipped off of you in strip clubs, when someone who did not think like you would quickly be waking up in the mornings with the stripper of his choice.

REPLY TO A CONTINUING ENQUIREY ABOUT DFKING AND OUR LOCAL CLUBS

Well yes, our clubs are no touching. The last people who seriously challenged this sat in jail for several months before they were allowed to put their houses up for bail. Will this ever change, hard to say. Our DA's office knows that there is nothing except their bullying which stands between us and San Francisco. They don't want that to happen. So most of the time people are hit with massive charges, to intimidate them into pleading guilty, while the DA knows that with competent defense and in front of a jury, their case is bogus.

Jim and Artie Mitchell went through 2 jury trials. But of course, they courted the news papers. In San Francisco the news papers mocked the police. That helps.

Here the papers have sat on the fence and endorsed the moralists POV.

Sorry to hear that Seattle is Deja Vu. That sucks.

I am 24-7 embedded in guerilla style political conflicts. So I cannot go to anything like our underground circuit. I am inview and on call 24-7. If it is running, I say go to some of the bars and start asking. The dancers at the above ground clubs are not that likely to know about it. Just go to the bars and ask politely. The Mexicans call it 'Bikini Show'. At this point I would also suggest checking Watsonville, Monterey, and Salinas.

Otherwise just go to a major metro with a good rep for loose non-Deja Vu clubs.

I do not like Cheetah's. They only price dances so high because the girls insist that they are as hot as the SF girls. So the management gives in.

Brass Rail is far cheaper, and you can be civilian dating one of their girls very quickly. Some even do do P4P. Go in near closing time on the night shift. Dress nice.

Buying dances is a chump's game. Front room makeout session. Not for free, but treating her like a civilian. Then only when it is time for your own pants to come down, you invite her to the back room. Then take her home with you and keep on seeing her.

But, at our local clubs, and Deja Vu run SF, very hard to do. If you were to try SF, I would suggest MBOT, non-Deja Vu, and then the 4x unbranded DV no alcohol clubs. And especially New Century ( very large, and usually lots of blacks ) or Little Darlings ( looks to be all black ).

Otherwise just need to find another metro. People say great things about that San Gabriel Valley, and about a few other places such as Club Rio, and I would check out Starz in Gardena.

Good Luck SJG

SJG - your posts have again gone off the rails. I am doing quite well with my investments. I avoid the crazes - and stick with stable - risk averse investments.

My investments fund all of my affairs. I don’t spout off details about my business and investment dealings because I’m comfortable where I am in life. I don’t seek approval from others, and I don’t offer (unsolicited) advice, because each investors basis and risk tolerance, differs.

Your above post makes it seem that you are a high level political operative. We all know that is a huge overstatement. I doubt that your “organization” is even at the level of grass roots.

Everyone on this board knows you are an angry man, who holds a major grudge against strip clubs (because of some odd negative experience over 20 years ago). You continue to spout negativity towards others, and offer little constructive advice. So your presence on this board is puzzling.

Do you think you’ve discouraged one member from going to a club with your sad diatribes? I would doubt you have any effect on others club habits.

@san_jose_guy said "large projects or most business expansions get very little from financial speculation markets."

Ok, I'll bite: where do you believe they get the money from if not the financial markets?

SJG and Groundhog Day have something in common. He’s like a broke record.

Well Cashman, that may be how you want to live, glorfied gambling, or following the pension and insurance fund managers. Really I could not care less how much money you have.

I and a circle of associates are putting our money into our own affairs and we will continue to.

I have nothing against strip clubs. I love them. But that doesn't mean I take them at face value, or regularly hand out wads of money when the same women can be enjoyed off site and things can get very personal.

I am not an angry man, as that would be you Cashman.

Here, something you can stuff into your mouth: organicauthority.com

SJG

If you aren’t an angry man - how many times have you posted rants here calling strip club patrons chumps? Telling others that they are pursuing enjoyment incorrectly?

An angry man is unable to accept the enjoyment of others. You are a sad and angry man. You continually tell us that we are having fun incorrectly. Why not simply accept our enjoyment for what it is?

You can spout off about your hang ups everyday - but this is the wrong site for it.

Those who go into strip clubs and buy dances, they are chumps.

Pursuing enjoyment incorrectly? Well sex and sex acts with real women ( as opposed to FemBots ) are enjoyable. But the bigger part of it is when the girl opens up to you emotionally. These idiots are not pursuing enjoyment. Something has gone seriously ary.

Cashman, you sound to me like someone who's entire psyche has been shaped by continual doses of alcohol. Am I right.

You have again gone off and launched an irrational personal attack. It’s sad that you launch such attacks when questioned. I question your ability to reason maturely and respond intelligently.

I treat strip clubs as intended. They are a place for non-emotional adult sexual interaction. There is very little else I seek in strip clubs. I don’t seek out DFK and emotional connections from dancers.

If you want to debate salient points, I will do so. But your childish attacks are useless - as I’m not threatened by a keyboard cowboy - armed with media links and lengthy directs to his previous tuscl discussions.

Cashman and Taxi, I have made my points consistently and very clear. You still want to argue, about what I know not. But that is you two guys' problem.

"I treat strip clubs as intended. They are a place for non-emotional adult sexual interaction"

Yes, the strip club owners set them up so it looks like that. But the central part of sex is emotional.

The women who work in strip clubs, at least so far, they are real. But for some reason lots of guys want to treat them as fembots.

Not me, I am real with them and I open the door for them to be real with me. Been like that for decades, since my first visits to local clubs.

SJG

LMAO SJG has to pay women for emotional connections. And he thinks the best places for this are strip clubs and AMPs...both of which are there for sexual services.

What an emotional CHUMP!!!

^ And strip club POSER.

@taxi driver just piss on him and give him a dollar ;)))

BHF said: "LOL yes, I know. But he's actually an interesting guy."

You and I have vastly different definitions of the word 'interesting'.

SirLDAlot - there is a major omission in SJG’s statements - as he speaks as though his knowledge is current. He hasn’t stepped in a strip club in years. That is why I still don’t understand he posts on a strip club website. He can’t explain that either. His discussions are entirely non pertinent. A few off topic posts are fine for any user. But every post of his is off topic! He’s useless, lonely, bored, and he couldn’t afford to go to a strip club!

He's a huge ass faggot

SJG is gay!

You guys do realize he is jerking off while writing this stuff?!?! You are just getting him more turned on by engaging in debate.

@Uprightcitizen I disagree. I'm pretty sure SJG truly believes he's not trolling and is simply posting to "contribute" to TUSCL with "scintillating" conversation. (Yes he is that much of a clueless idiot.)

@Cashman1234 The reason you struggle to understand SJG is because you don't understand how the mind of a distraught narcissist works. As a narcissist, he is simply using TUSCL to look "better' than PLs that actually go to strip clubs and get dances with strippers. Unbeknownst to him, his claim that "buying dances is a chump's game" is a straw man argument that he uses to make himself look better as someone that would rather DFK and skip dances and go straight to FS. It's his narcissistic defense mechanism.

And coupled with his narcissism is the mental anguish and stress of losing his wife (LOL due to his own infidelity as a monger back in the 90s). He is extremely in post divorce stress but his narcissism won't let him see the truth in his own wrongdoings, so bashing TUSCL PLs is his "therapy"

And yes, there is no credibility to any of his claims. He may have DFKed once with a stripper in the 90s but he hasn't since. And also his only real stories that he has ever posted about actual DFK were his AMP whore threads he started about two years ago. And LOL even in those threads it is clear the AMP whores didn't really want to DFK him.

He basically lost his wife, a woman's sincere affections, and his money by being a PL monger. He now seeks that lost affection and emotional connection more so than actual sex. He fulfilled the need somewhat through paying AMP whores, and since that was at least something since he lost his wife, it's become his TUSCL mantra. As long as he keeps repeating his narcissistic and pathetic self over and over, he doesn't ever have to face the real truth about himself.

I don’t read his posts much and I have no idea what this one is about. But I think dance a lot gives an excellent psychological critique.

SLD nice shrinkage. Certainly plausible based on his history. I was just making a smart ass comment that was meant to point out the futility of having a reasoned debate with SJG. He likes to judge others but recoils at the slightest hint of being judged himself (your reasoning could very well be valid). He may also be cleaning up right now and once his refractory period is over he will start posting again.

^ No worries Upright, regardless of jest I was using your post to point out that he really is so clueless as to not even recognize his own asshole behavior. LOL it's extreme narcissism.

I agree - SLD offers good insights - and a good summary of the narcissism filling SJG’s mind.

To uprightcitizen’s point - it’s entirely possible that SJG is jerking off as he imparts his wisdom on us. He views his genius as so superior - that simply by tossing out a few snippets - is providing us with mind-blowing brilliance.

At least he doesn’t post fictitious reviews - to just get vip access. Although I’m sure his reviews wouldn’t be very interesting - as he couldn’t describe the interior of a strip club (at least not a modern club).

^^^^^^^ bunch of jackanapes

You buffoons still don't listen. I can disclose lots of stuff on this forum which I could not f2f, because I can and do deploy a privacy wall where I see it as needed. So what I tell you is what I want you to know. If I wanted you to know more, I would have disclosed it.

As such I am not subject to interrogation, and I don't have to prove anything whatsoever. My current life is very closely guarded because I have worldly responsibilities. I'm not every going to rule anything in our out.

Trying to get information out of me will never be any different than it would be with the CIA.

BTW I doubt SJG jerks off. He also suffers from ED. Likely because of guilt that he is unwilling to admit.

I noticed SJG is now signing off all his posts with links to his older, most "scintillating" threads, but...he fails to share his threads on AMP whore DFK mongering. I thought I'd share them to put his views and claims into perspective...

To me these are SJG's true "contributions" to the boards. They highlight his "mastery" of how to DFK and get "civilian" with an AMP whore. They are all both creepy and entertaining as fuck.

Enjoy!

"@Uprightcitizen I disagree. I'm pretty sure SJG truly believes he's not trolling and is simply posting to "contribute" to TUSCL with "scintillating" conversation. (Yes he is that much of a clueless idiot.)"

That's funny, and very accurate!

And the title is wrong, it should be "the creep's ultimate egotistical spam thread"

And i hate bumping this useless thread but the creep will be along in a few hours to bump it anyway like he always does.

^ LOL nice title.

LOL SJG has a limited window of free internet access every day. He attends to all his "worldly affairs" from his bike and then the high point of his day is spamming TUSCL with self-aggrandizing posts at the public library.

TheeOSU, You seem to be under the misunderstanding that I care what you think of my posts.

^ And you, creep, are definitely misunderstanding that other than you, nobody cares about your posts.

SJG is a cautionary tale for all PLs. He is an example of how bad things can go if you monger so much that SS becomes your reality that you lose your money, home, car, wife, and a woman's affections all because of it. He's at rock bottom in life now. And I'm pretty sure he's even lost his mind. And again it is all because of not being able to control his mongering.

Personally, I became fascinated with his early posts and read a lot of them, the ones I posted links to earlier, but besides those his OT threads are mindless drivel and spam. But those threads about his AMP mongering are amazing journeys into the mind of a clueless idiot that thinks he has game with AMP whores. But in reality they are completely repulsed by him and are stringing him along. They are his real world experiences rather than his fantasy land obsession with front room DFK posts, and so I think that is why I found them entertaining and funny (in a pathetic way).

So, will be getting an occult book:

amazon.com

But also want to get the two James Wasserman books on the Knights Templar, especially interested in their involvement in aaination and piracy. Today such might be considered te**o*ists.

amazon.com

seems to be the second book, and maybe lesser amazon.com

actually a third, 2017 Templar heresy : a story of gnostic illumination

So, all three, in order.

SJG

Sheryl Crow and Eric Clapton - "Run Baby Run" - Pavarotti and Friends - 1996 - live youtube.com

^ Because posting about getting an occult book is something all PLs and strippers are interested in and discussing.

Hey SJG, instead of posting about reading an occult book, instead how about going to an actual strip club and trying your front room DFK mad skills and report back about how it went when it was time for your pants to come down? I'm sure it would be an ultimate read!

Then will be proceeding to the Eliphas Levi books, mid 19th Century and often translated by members of Golden Dawn, like Westcott, Mathers, Waite, and Crowley. Prefer to read the ones I can get in the order written.

Eliphas Levi en.wikipedia.org

Selected writings:

La Bible de la liberté (The Bible of Liberty), 1841 Doctrines religieuses et sociales (Religious and Social Doctrines), 1841 L'assomption de la femme (The Assumption of Woman), 1841 La mère de Dieu (The Mother of God), 1844 Le livre des larmes (The Book of Tears), 1845 Le testament de la liberté (The Testament of Liberty), 1848 Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, (Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual), 1854–1856 Histoire de la magie, (The History of Magic), 1860 La clef des grands mystères (The Key to the Great Mysteries), 1861 Fables et symboles (Stories and Images), 1862 La science des esprits (The Science of Spirits), 1865 Le grand arcane, ou l'occultisme dévoilé (The Great Secret, or Occultism Unveiled), 1868 Magical Rituals of the Sanctum Regnum, 1892, 1970 The Book of Splendours: The Inner Mysteries of Qabalism

Ones I can likely get, try to be in order written:

The Book of Splendors (1892) probably cannot get

The Key of the Mysteries (1861) probably cannot get

So we have:

Transcendental Magic (1856)

The History Of Magic (1860)

The Great Secret; or Occultism Unveiled (1868)

The mysteries of the Qabalah, or, The occult agreement of the two testaments. Talks about Ezekiel and Revelations

Local guy I've known J.

Nominally a carpenter, but also usually homeless, living in his pick up truck. Had been absent. Just got out of 9 months in the county.

DUI, his first. I knew the penalties were tough, but 9months for a first time?

Seems he hit someone and she got injured. But J. down plays it, scratch on food, head injury.

J. has long had a drinking problem, and I see he also has an attitude problem. He blames this woman, driving at 11pm without her headlights on, and not wearing her seat belt. Talks like he has been wronged.

So now he is on probation for 3 years. He is in a temporary housing thing, 3 months at no cost. And he no longer has his vehicle.

After the 3 months they will try to get him into a sober living place. But J. says that won't work, as he drinks.

I feel that he is adamant about his drinking, maybe because he feels he was wronged, and because he no longer had a vehicle.

Working with community groups, I feel that many homeless men are so over divorce, or over loss of driving privelidge, or just bad driving records making them unemployable due to drinking. Many of the livable wage jobs a man might have do revolve around driving. But insurance co's of course don't want people with bad records working for their client firms.

I also have seen that many of the homeless men are also people who seem to have very grown up with very casual attitudes about drinking, seeing it as normal and a kind of an expectation. This kind of stuff is not easy to change.

Now in the group I am building there will be no such problems. But this group is not at all for the general population.

For our society, I say there is a problem, with alcohol, drugs, tobacco, psychiatric medication, recovery, and born again Christianity.

Yep, need to read this to be prepared, Ho Tactics amazon.com

so, from "Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future", talking about Elon having just completed college in Ontario and U Pennsylvania.

page 55 " Musk's insistence on explaining the early origins of his passion for electric cars, solar energy, and rockets can come off as insecure. It feels as if Musk is trying to shape his life story in a forced way. But for Musk, the distinction between stumbling into something and having intent is important. Musk has long wanted the world to know that he's different from the run-of-the-mill entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. He wasn't just sniffing out trends, and he wasn't consumed by the idea of getting rich. He's been in pursuit of a master plan all along. "I really was thinking about this stuff in college," he said. "It is not some invented story after the fact. I don't want to seem like a Johnny-come-lately or that I'm chasing a fad or just being opportunistic. I'm not an investor. I like to make technologies real that I think are important for the future and useful in some sort of way."

Musk had started with really nothing, his brother Kimbal, money from odd jobs in college, and a dilapidated sedan which they painted polka dots onto. And their father in South Afrika gave them $28k.

So about 4 years later, after sleeping and living in a 20' x 30' they had rented, and later bringing in outside people and money, when it was finally sold, Elon Musk got $22 Meg.

I think it highly unlikely that Elon Musk has ever been an 'investor', putting money into things he or his crew did not control, or that he ever went along with any doctrine of 'creating wealth', 'financial literacy', 'financial self improvement', or 'saving for retirement'.

Now Zip2 and PayPal were computer only things. I would not be satisfied with that myself.

But SolarCity, Tesla, SpaceX, those are an entirely different matter!

Will read more of the Ashlee Vance book about him later.

Now starting to read: amazon.com

And with the group I am building, we will have our own vast libraries.

SJG

So I read the earlier book on this subject: Eliphas Levi and the French Occult Revival amazon.com

This has prepared me. And Christopher McIntosh has written a back cover endorsement for Tobias Churton: amazon.com

Its basically Pairs from 1871 thru 1914, mostly Rosicrucianism and Martinism.

Churton is turning out to be extremely prolific, and he is out there. But I can't afford to put the time into reading this straight, I have to speed read it, get out of it what I need, what will stick for me.

Very close relations between the occult and poetry, music, painting, literature, and science.

Talks about Frances Yates as one who talked about this at length: amazon.com

and then also:

Want to record some of his references, like these historical writers.

James Webb, The Occult Underground amazon.com

And Colin Wilson wrote a book about James Webb

And I need to find some books to read about Martinism, as I know far less about it than I do about Rosicrucianism.

SJG

Introduction to Martinism youtube.com

So Churton finishes talking about the future, the legacy of that era before WWI. There was some rumors about Synarchism, a secret elite government, no good.

Now of course this would be Vichi, and such things are almost always Fascist.

But they are saying that it is the contemporary government of the EU.

SJG

Synarchism en.wikipedia.org

good books written by Joel R. Hass (Author),‎ Maurice D. Weir (Author),‎ George B. Thomas Jr. (Author) like: University Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Multivariable amazon.com

So books mentioned about this Synarchism:

This Gérard Galtier, but his stuff seems not to have been translated to English, but one into Spanish

Start with this, as referenced by Churton:

and then: amazon.com

Okay, but then:

The Sion revelation : the truth about the guardians of Christs's sacred bloodline / Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince

And this Lynn Picknett has written lots of interseting looking stuff.

amazon.com

And then about Martinism, reading in Churton, starting to get some understanding.

Martinez de Pasqually (1727?–1774) en.wikipedia.org

And those who succeeded him were: Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and Jean-Baptiste Willermoz

Now de Pasqually was likely half Jewish. And I have not read this anywhere, but to me he seems influenced by Baruch Spinoza, a likely practitioner of Kabbalah.

Here, a modern order which mentions among others Spinoza wikivisually.com

Spinoza, in German I think: hermetik-international.com

Spinoza and Kabbalah inquiriesjournal.com

Rosicrucian Order AMORC, loosely associating Martinism with philosophy like Spinoza's martinists.org

and we have this, a reprint amazon.com

So other than what these Martinist groups have on their web sites, there is not that much. Though I do have to admit that the Tobias Churton book is proving both good and challenging.

I believe that the French Rosicrucian Order AMORC makes much use of Satie and Debussy.

So it was Antoine Court de Gebelin ( 1725 - 1824 ) who first put the 22 letter of the Hebrew alphabet onto the 22 Tarot cards. Eliphas Levi followed this. And Levi was not trying to recreate Renaissance magic, he wanted something compatible and necessary to science.

Churton is the first I have seen who was able to summarize Eliphas Levi. Levi did not want to recreate Renaissance Magic, he wanted something compatible with science.

pp 91, "Levi adapted the inherited system, adding an eleventh sephira, called Da'ath, understood as that Knowledge that is true Science, being a reflection and synthesis of the other sephiroth. Levi's advocacy of the tarot as a codified High Science opened the way for the tarot to be used not only as the familiar means of divination, but also as a path to inner exploration, constituting an essential wing of the high magic that could only be worked in a state of exalted or mystical consciouness.

from Occult Paris by Tobias Churton

So we talk about some following H. P. Blavatsky and her Theopsophical Society,

like Maria Pomar, Lady Caithness (1830-1895)

and Anna Kingsford (1846-1888) They both published an 1882 book, The Perfect Way

Stanislas de Guaita ( 1861 - 1897 )

A curious guy, had been a poet, and with a great knowledge of chemistry. Seemed to be undergoing a great deal of emotional suffering. But then, rather like Aleister Crowley after him, under went a kind of conversion from poety to "Magick" as "the way of life."

Would go on to be involved in the Rosicrusianism of the day. And he wrote books like Black Magic, and the Keys To Black Magic.

Not seeing his books as easy to get.

So in Occult Paris, Tobias Churton is now talking about some Knights Templar originated Rosicrucianism running in the Agen Lot-et-Garonne area of France.

en.wikipedia.org

This Agen has been noted as an area with a very low birth rate. Some have said that if you have a second child there you will be receiving condolences cards. I noted that it stands out on the 1791 Jurist Priest map. Others say it is a place which went for the socialist Mitterrand. I speculated that being a leader in de-Christianization, it may go back to the Cathars. It is a kind of Catholic thinking which is totally against church teaching.

Now it is starting to look like it goes back further, to gnosticism originating with the Knights Templar.

It is all completely Catholic, its just like I call it, being "in the church but not of it".

Tobias Churton writes extremely interesting and extremely challenging books.

SJG

I had read a book about the Cathars. This guy went to the final martyrdom site Montsegur. en.wikipedia.org

He asked how many of the people were Cathars. He was told that they all were, and then surprised to hear that they still are.

Now I understand, its a way of being in the church but not of it.

Some called the Pater Norsters, as they would sit in a circle and recite the Lord's Prayer slowly over and over. Is this worth burning people at the stake?

It is a kind of protest, because they might not be sitting in the pews and listening to sermons. But the real threat about the Cathars was that they had switched their minds from standby to online, specifically, they had methods of contraception and abortion.

So this kind of private dissent, thinking beyond the church, still continues to this day.

You don't see this amongst American Catholics, rather it is in Catholic countrys.

So this is what Peladan and others were building upon in starting their Rosicrucian movement in Paris. But Agen had been a stronghold, noted for its low birth rate.

from Occult Paris by Tobias Churton, Eugene Vintras believed himself to be Elijah. And he was the spiritual source for the Carmelite Order. During the revolution said order was banished from France.

But then this also connects to this guy Abbe Boullan (1824-1893)

SJG

Repeat discussion about Agen France:

There is some new information at hand about Agen France and things which might make it unusual. Reading Occult Paris, by Tobias Churton.

amazon.com

The book comes to one Josephin Peledan, a rather notorious sort of the 1880's and 1890's who started a Rosicrucian Order in Paris. The question turns to what made him think he had the initiatory standing by which to do that?

Well he was affiliated with one Vicomte Louis Edouard de Lapasse ( 1792 - 1867 )

iniziazioneantica.altervista.org

they show the same picture in the Churton book.

So this started with a lecture given by Yale's John Merriman, about France and the development of a middle-class, as evidenced by the low birth rate. And then how contraception was considered by the Catholic clergy as an unspeakable evil.

So Merriman talks specifically about Agen and how if you have a second child you can today expect to be receiving condolences cards. Never heard of such a place. Merriman talks about the place standing out on the 1791 Jurist Priest map, and then recently in how they voted for the socialist Mitterand.

So speculation was raised that these uncommon views which they have could come from that having been a Cathar place. There is in fact a cathar castle there. But most of these so called cathar castles are fake, built by the French Monarchy in order to keep the Cathars from coming back. Catharism is today something of a tourism industry.

Well, in Churton's book he talks about Peledan coming from 'old Catholic families" and Lapasse also coming from such, but in Agen.

They are actually talking about Templars, about there being some sort of Templar legacy there built into Agen, and also maybe into Toulouse.

So they talk about Templars, Troubodors, Cathars, and Rosicrucians, as all basically being the same, and operating, among other places, Agen.

And it has been discussed that Cathars would assemble and sit in a circle and slowly recite the Pater Noster over and over. But does this get people burned at the stake? No, it was because they had methods of contraception and abortion, and just because they were thinking about such things, instead of acting out of compulsion.

Remember, Cathars did not build their own churches, they would freely attend Catholic services. They just seemed to have understood it differently, been able to keep a certain critical distance. I have long called this, "Being in the Church but not of it".

So the Churton book is telling us that something like that still existed amongst these 'old Catholic families' in Agen in the 1800's. And so just by virtue of having grown up in that environment, Peledan and Lapasse were already initiated into some sort of Rosicrucian - Cathar - Troubodor - Templar thinking.

So after Merriman, this is the first written confirmation that someone finds something unusual about this Agen Lot-et-Garonne

region

en.wikipedia.org

I mean none of this occult stuff would the Catholic clergy approve of, and much of it did have a buried sort of sexuality. But who cares what the Catholic clergy says or thinks.

You will find this in a Catholic country like France, where as in the US, Catholics are more like Protestants, seeing it as a belief and approval seeking system.

If someone grows up in a family which is 'in the Church but not of it', then they will assimilate that different way of thinking.

So again, first confirmation that there is something different about Agen, and indeed affirming that it does connect to these gnostic types of thinking.

Condolences cards upon having a second child? Only time I ever heard of people who might think like that would have to connect to gnositicsm. And one of the major occurrences of such was Catharism in the South of France. But they are actually now connecting all of it to the Knights Templar.

Lapasse was a doctor, and he lived by the Rosicrucian injunction from the Fama Fraternititus to treat the poor at no charge.

this guy Abbe Boullan (1824-1893), he was the real Satanist of the group, and he was the one Huysman's was writting about.

SJG

Abbe Joseph-Antoine Boullan, Catholic priest, jailed in Rome, seen as Satanist, and some unspeakable rumors. en.wikipedia.org

So Josephin Peladan and Stanislas de Guaita, running their Rosicrucian Order, decided that it was their role to take Boullan down.

So some of this came down to Eliphas Levi's two volume:

Author Lévi, Éliphas, 1810-1875
Title Dogme et rituel de la haute magie. English
Transcendental magic : its doctrine and ritual / by Eliphas Lévi ; translation [and] biographical preface by Arthur Edward Waite

But there is also supposed to be some addendum to it.

If one looks at the table of contents for this, this addendum is there!

amazon.com

So the addendum is called 'Nuctermeron' and it talks about twelve hours or intelligences, which may be pressed into service. This is all attributed to a first century mage Appolonius of Tyana, and found in a hermetic tract written in Greek in a Jewish 1721 work on the life and death of Moses.

So this is what they used, and the first of these 'intellilgences' is where the name Papus was taken from for Gerard Encausse.

This whole book is a bit of a challenge, as tend to be all the numerous books of Tobias Churton.

So trying to finish up with Tobias Churton's "Occult Paris"

amazon.com

Churton is always way out there. And he is always challenging.

San Jose's AMORC was not built on the idea that Rosicrucianism is either gnostic, connected to Cathars, or to the Knights Templar. But today many do see it this way.

So Churton talks about this Gnostic Church, and especially this Jules Doinel and Deodat Roche.

Continuing in North America, based in NYC?: apostolicgnosis.org

And you can see that inverting the Cathar aestheticism, plus Josephin Peladan, were the main influences on the decadence of Aleister Crowley.

And yes in the South, the Canal du Midi area, there is some sort of tradition of gnosticism, like what I call, being in the church but not of it. And this is especially strong in Agen. Seemingly it does go back to Cathars, Knights Templar, and Troubadours.

And then others say that this is Hermeticism coming in with Islam, and also being expressed in John of the Cross.

And then one of the most interesting people is this Papus.

So of Debussy and Satie, Churton says, "that you may feel that you are only hearing a fragment of the music, for the tonal experimentation of these composers' minds were most deeply involved in esoteric sensibilities, aimed at invoking the unseen and unheard."

And we have this Breton myth of this city Y's, of their North coast, which sunk en.wikipedia.org

In 1956, the work of Jan van Rijckenborgh and Catharose de Petri received an important impulse by the contact with Antonin Gadal (1877-1962), the custodian of the Cathar heritage in southern France. They allied themselves with the spiritual treasure of this spiritual community shattered by the Inquisition about 700 years ago.

Jan van Rijckenborgh wrote his first manuscripts under the pseudonym John Twine. With the choice of this pseudonym, he expressed that he was a John man, a forerunner of the Christ man. The last name Twine symbolizes the two aspects that are present in every human being: the divine element that urges the liberation, and the earthly element, the natural soul. In January 1940, Jan Leene adopted the spiritual name Jan van Rijckenborgh.

In the British Library in London Jan van Rijckenborgh discovered a work by Johann Valentin Andreae, “Rei publicae christianopolitanae descriptio”, in English translation. Interpreting parts of this document, he wrote a commentary which he published together with his Dutch translation of this manuscript in 1939 under the title “Christianopolis“. Furthermore he translated the Manifestos of the Rosicrucians: “Fama Fraternitatis”, “Confessio Fraternitatis” and “Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosyross” into Dutch. In these writings he found what moved it himself: the call for a general reformation, which especially aimed at the fundamental change in man himself.

With about 40 publications written by Jan van Rijckenborgh, partially together with Catharose de Petri, he left a great wealth of advice and support to people who seek for truth and liberation on their spriritual path.

I am so far not seeing any connection to the leaders of this 19th Century Gnostic Church, except for the interest in the South of France and the Cathars.

So let me look at this man from the Gnostic Church: Deodat Roche, living 99 years

Cathars bibliotecapleyades.net

"Today, Catharism is largely seen as a dualist religion, like most Gnostic and oriental teachings. The man largely responsible for identifying Catharism as such was Déodat Roche (1877-1978), often referred to both as 'the Cathar Bishop', if not 'the Cathar Pope'.

However, outside of France, his name is relatively unknown, as is that of his friend and Professor of Sociology René Nelli of the University of Toulouse (and often referred to as 'the vicar of Catharism'), who lectured on the subject all over France.

Their fame has largely been eclipsed by the likes of Otto Rahn and Antonin Gadal, who saw the caves of the valley south of Foix as secret initiation centers for the Cathars - a theory that is now often widely accepted, but which has very little academic support.

Gadal continued the work started by the local historian Adolphe Garrigou. From the 1930s onwards, circles were formed around Gadal and the already mentioned Roche and Nelli.

Together, they formed "La Société du souvenir de Montségur et du Graal," to promote the forgotten history of Catharism - but specifically tying it to the Holy Grail - and the promotion of Montségur, and the region as a whole. It is here that what is now known as 'neo-Catharism' was born, and it has little to do with the original belief.

A second circle of Cathar enthusiasts had the countess Pujol-Murat as a key figure; she was one of Otto Rahn's patrons. Rahn was a young German academic, whose books greatly advanced interest in Montségur and Catharism, both in the 1930s and now (see article 'The Strange Life of Otto Rahn: Author, Poet, Grail Seeker, SS Officer', in New Dawn No. 109, July-August 2008). "

"Authors such as Walter Birks and R.A. Gilbert, as well as Elizabeth van Buren, have suggested the Cathars guarded a manuscript, knowledge - a spiritual treasure.

This manuscript is often said to be the 'Book of Love' and is linked with the Gospel of John, and is claimed to contain "sublime teachings, marvelous revelations, the most secret words confided by our Lord Jesus Christ to the beloved disciple [John the Evangelist]. "

bibliotecapleyades.net

again, finding stuff in French only amazon.com

TO BE CONTINUED

SJG

Anyway, so we have this Deodat Roche, felt to be responsible for much of the 20th Century resurgence of interest in the Cathars. And he was part of this French Gnostic Church, with Jules Doniel.

Then we have this Dutch Rosicrucian Lectorium. Started by people who had been with the Oceanside Rosicrucian Fellowship of Max Heindel, Oceanside, CA. They ran it in the Netherlands, but in 1935 they separated, and then it really has come into its own in the years since WWII. They are completely focused on Cathars. But I am not finding any connection between the two groups, or their researchs into the Cathars.

We have this Emmanuel des Essarts, who would become a bishop in the Gnostic Church, but he had been a gov't employee and taken with the thinking of Charles Fourier.

en.wikipedia.org

en.wikipedia.org 7 April 1772 – 10 October 1837

He only lived to 1837, but he is considered an early socialist.

Fourier's social views and proposals inspired a whole movement of intentional communities. Among them in the United States were the community of Utopia, Ohio; La Reunion near present-day Dallas, Texas; the North American Phalanx in Red Bank, New Jersey; Brook Farm in West Roxbury, Massachusetts; the Community Place and Sodus Bay Phalanx in New York State, and several others. Later Fourier inspired a diverse array of revolutionary thinkers and writers.

On education, Fourier felt that "civilized" parents and teachers saw children as little idlers.[22] Fourier felt that this way of thinking was wrong. He felt that children as early as age two and three were very industrious.

Because of its editor, I am sure this is good: Poster, Mark, ed. Harmonian Man: Selected Writings of Charles Fourier. Garden City: Doubleday. 1971.

So I had talked about my friend J., about 50yo, and with a very serious heart and fluid retention condition, and seemingly still using methamphetamine.

They were trying to send him to a psychiatrist, and I spoke out loud and clear discouraging that.

tuscl.net

So he side stepped the psychiatrist.

But about 6 weeks ago I saw the emergency vehicles at his apartment. I really feared for him. Then about two weeks ago someone told me he was in the hospital.

Very rare to keep anyone in the hospital for very long nowadays. So I figured he was probably in jail.

Met him today, no jail. He was in the hospital for over a month. His kidneys had almost failed and he was retaining lots of water. He came in there with a resting pulse rate of 139 per minute, and very high blood pressure.

To have that kind of pulse, all day and night, would drive anyone nuts, and they said it could be fatal.

They had to give him blood transfusions as he was becoming anemic. Real cause unknown.

Finally his pulse rate did come down.

"Grape Jelly like #2" was tearing up the insides of his intestines, and he shows yellowing of the eyes, a sign of jaundice and liver damage.

And of course street meth could have other stuff in it.

He told them that he had been using meth, when they asked about the heart rate. He said he stopped 4 days earlier because he wanted his test results to be clean.

He seems to understand that he must not use that, well sort of.

I remain concerned about him.

Neoliberal governmentality is a practice of ruling people that interweaves aspirations of individuals with the demands of the market.

...

it is my inte ntion to move beyond the limited discussion of voluntary versus forced prostitution, in order to stress that sex work ha s become entangled in ambiguous and simultaneous processes: on the one hand , it can generate personal empowerment and agency, and on the other hand , it demands the individual‟s subjection to a neoliberal market regime.

...

Sex work is used as a strategic means to realise a project of self

actualisa tion, which is linked to the desire for economic well

being and upward social mobility.

article demonstrates that sex work can simultaneously be a site of oppression and exploitation , and a stepping

stone to personal advancement.

( already perceiving this myself is why I know that I and TJ girls will get along very well. )

Liberal techniques of governance began to focus on the generation of a population of subjects that were bound to economic paradigms in their thought and behaviour. A crucial component of neoliberal governmentality is its use of the capacities of free subjects to achieve its p urposes and goals

Freedoms – the f reedoms of the market – are integral to neoliberal governmentality, which operates on interests, desires, and aspirations , rather than through ri ghts and obligations

Subjects are not subjugated simply by means of obedience but have become governable in their personal desires.

Neoliberal governmentality is a practice of ruling people that interweaves aspirations of individuals with the demands of the market.

„Neoliberal governmentality‟ is a mode of rule, or a governmental technology, that operates through self

enhancement techniques. It differs from disciplining modes of governance that draw on physical repression or containment.

Foucault (1982) des cribes how, with the emergence of liberalism, governments‟ demands on the individ ual behaviour of their citizens to prudent self

conduct were converted to accommodate an economic project. Liberal techniques of governance began to focus on the generation of a population of subjects that were bound to economic paradigms in their thought and behaviour. A crucial component of neoliberal governmentality is its use of the capacities of free subjects to achieve its p urposes and goals

Elon Musk amazon.com

So he is on now to his second company: PayPal

and he is starting on his first wife: Justina Wilson

But she has informed him, "I am your wife not your employee."

I have heard this idea before multiple times, and even had the same communication directed at me.

So both situations are tumultuous.

With his first company Zip2, it sold for $300 Meg. He cleared $22 Meg. He bought his first airplane, and a small nice condo, which he renovated. He also spent $1 Meg for a MacLaren F1, only 62 in the world. One of them belonging to Larry Ellison.

Most MacLaren owners save them for special purposes. But for Musk it is a daily drive. It is seen parked on the street and at Safeway, and birds shit on it.

From PayPal, it will sell to Ebay for $1.5 Gig, and Musk will clear $180 Meg after taxes.

But both of these first companies will have been tumultuous, with Musk generally loosing control. But remember, now he has $180 Meg, and he has just turned 30yo.

He did some jobs and internships in college, but post graduating, NO JOBS! And he basically started with nothing.

So this is really interesting. On to his third company, Space X, and his first wife, Justina Wilson.

So it is striking how much new material Musk had to master for each of these companies, in order to be able to chart out new territory. Always getting involved in things he had no real prior experience in.

First child died at the age of 10 weeks from SIDS.

So in the years which followed Justina gave birth to twins, followed by triplets. Might have been some medical technology involved in this. Sounds strange, strange response to death of first. Need to read more about this to better understand.

So there are also some other books mentioned.

SJG

So reading about Elon Musk, having cleared $22 Meg from Zip2 and $180 Meg from PayPal, he was largely his own VC. He was getting into extremely ambitious things, like Space X. Months and months testing rocket engines on 300 acres in Texas, these usually exploding. Then out in the Marshall Islands, trying for a first launch. So many times having to back off as something was wrong, months and months.

Very competent people, but still approaching it with a shoot from the hip method, as is often the case with Silicon Valley startups.

Finally a launch, but it exploded after 25 seconds, debris fell back on the launch pad and into the water.

Then over a year later, one which really did get into orbit, but as the last of the fuel for the second stage was being used, it too exploded.

4 years in, and still no successful launches and no revenue, but lots of very capable people on the payroll. Few other than Musk would have tried this.

And then company 4, Tesla, the name having come from others, but Musk becoming the largest investor. Trying to build their Lotus based 2 seater, lots and lots of problems, but few would even be willing to risk the money, and the effort, besides Musk.

Musk was able to do this and sell cars, not because they were practical, but because he made having one into a status symbol.

And then with Model-S, so big, so expensive, even more so. Here they are all over the roadways.

And then the potential for batteries to explode, and exploring that.

They demoed the 2 seater, driving Arnold Schwarzenegger around in one. But they had to swap cars every 5 minutes because of over heating problems, and only one guy, the electric car expert, was authorized to drive them because they were actually very fragile.

SJG

^^^^ They recognized right off that a sports car is the way to go, not necessarily because of high top speed, but because of high acceleration at street legal speeds. And then the good aerodynamics are how you get the range.

So an SUV would be the worst. But this was before model X

SJG

So getting the Tesla Roaster going was extremely hard, 4 years, and still sinking.

Trying to manufacture motors and electronics in Taiwan and China. Lots of trouble. Trying to assemble battery packs in Thailand. There they use factory buildings which are just a concrete slab and 4 poles holding up a roof. They do this because of humid weather. But it is not clean enough. Eventually had to bring much of this back to LA.

France to make the plastic body panels, and Lotus in UK to make the frames.

All in all very complex and very costly. Wanted to sell for $85k. VC's sent very capable trouble shooter, found that cars would cost $200k to make.

Wanted to sell firm, the plan B, mostly for its intellectual property. But Elon held fast and really took over. They were going to slug it out. He also started shifting the talk to model S.

Lots of trouble with Roadster transmission. Mechanical transmission was to have 2 forward speeds.

UK firm was to design it. They did not expect any problems xtrac.com

First one failed immediately, some failed at 150 miles. Best mean time between failures they ever got was 2000 miles.

Usually if done right, a from the ground up EV does not need multiple speeds.

But also, look at when Cadillac was making FWD transverse, they had it so the differential and the automatic transmission were entire concentric. Really interesting.

Cadillac is back to rear wheel drive not, but I suspect that those transaxles are still used for Buick and Chevrolet.

EV still needs differential. With out without mulitple gears, it could all be made concentric with a dry electric motor.

Anyway, Tesla had to redesign much of the vehicle to get it meet the high acceleration specs with just one forward gear.

Tesla did not work much with Detroit, believing that they knew better. But auto industry firm hired found 14 separate problems with the 2 speed mechanical transmission, each being able to cause premature failure.

Zip2 and Paypay short fused, giving Musk $22 meg and $180 meg respectively. But Space X and Tesla being long term yield. Musk actually has to work every day to make these go. He is not just gambling, he is solving the problems.

I laugh at some of the imbeciles on this board who talk about gambling on the stock market, making trades with really no info to speak of, as proof that they 'have the balls'.

SJG

So Musk likes to do concrete factor floors in high gloss epoxy, very light grey. How much $, how hard to do, what about concrete cracks? Then white paint on the walls. Makes it look up beat, no real line between factory and office.

I would still say you need some carpet to reduce noise. Musk uses cubicles, these have some sound dampening.

Musk has this J. B. Straubel, one of the most hands on experienced EV people on the planet. Knows batteries, motors, electronics, and everything else need to build a car.

Ideally and EV can use series and parallel motor windings and battery connections, to get high performance with just one mechanical gear.

Gary Lachman, writes great books, this about the late Colin Wilson, whom he knew quite well. Lachman is about the only one I would trust to write about Wilson.

amazon.com

So Wilson completed his first novel, "Ritual In The Dark", but it was not published until later, and after a total re-write. It is about the nature of sex.

Wilson's first published work was "The Outsider" 1956.

amazon.com

Some time after that he started calling his non-fiction works, "The New Existentialism" There were about 6 of them. This was before he took to writing about murder and the occult.

en.wikipedia.org

So just to call attention to some of this non-fiction

Religion and the Rebel (1957) Origins of the Sexual Impulse (1963) Beyond the Outsider (1965)

and then there is this, as people challenged Wilson on the idea of there being female outsiders: Outline of the Female Outsider (1994)

Except for the above, its all available in libraries.

In The outsider Wilson starts out talking about:

amazon.com

en.wikipedia.org

Barbusse was a member of the French Communist Party

Originally Wilson proclaimed himself a supporter of Socialism, because his hero, George Bernard Shaw was a Socialist.

But then upon researching Shaw to write about him, Wilson took exception to Shaw's arguments, so Wilson never again supported Socialism. And Wilson took exception to those of the London Left, like John Obrien "Look Back In Anger".

Also discussion of H. G. Wells, and in particular his last work:

en.wikipedia.org

"Wells's extensive writings on equality and human rights, most notably his most influential work, The Rights of Man (1940), laid the groundwork for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations shortly after his death."

When people want to educate themselves, you don't need to have the newest edition. Though it does help to have a few different texts, written by different people.

Hard to write such a book and do a good job up through the 19th century physics. If you do, not room for relativity, quantum mechanics, nuclear and high energy physics, or astrophysics. Modern physics just does not fit without making it way way too big.

The two books of Martinism are similar. One, “The Book of Man,” contains the truths of the little world, or microcosm. The other, “The Book of Nature,” explains the universe, the great world, or macrocosm. Martinism states that in man’s original and superior existence both themartinistpentacle.wordpress.com

So what seems to be available of Eliphas Levi, and some translated from French by A. E. Waite

Transcendental Magic (1856)

The History Of Magic (1860)

The Great Secret; or Occultism Unveiled (1868)

The mysteries of the Qabalah, or, The occult agreement of the two testaments. Talks about Ezekiel and Revelations

SJG

So as there are not that many books available about Martinism, and because Matinism predates the 19th Century Eliphas Levi, let me look to it first:

Three famous mystics: Saint-Martin / by Arthur Edward Waite ... Jacob Boehme, by W.P. Swainson; Swedenborg, by W.P. Swainson. (1940)

The unknown philosopher; the life of Louis Claude de Saint-Martin and the substance of his transcendental doctrine (1970 R. Steiner Publications )

Two books written about the same time which seem to span the chasm between religious and occult kabbalah

Why I’m Proud To Be A Middle-Aged Stripper huffingtonpost.com

What do you think occultant sorcerers would say about the magic I create in my bedroom every day?

The magic you create in your bedroom, and every day, well that is the objective. That is how sex is liberated from consumerism and from herd think.

We have to turn sex into magical ritual. And that is the purpose of the organization I am building. But people have to be led into it gradually.

amazon.com

amazon.com

amazon.com

And then with practitioners like Kenneth Grant and Nema.

And here in this, The Islamic Occultists, and one of their Priestesses, initiate an Templar Knight, someone bound by a vow of celibacy, into magical sex.

amazon.com

Sex Magic is one of the underlying themes in all Western and Eastern Occultism. But sometimes it is just being implied, but not actualized.

So this small Richard Rorty book is very good and very easy to understand, a kind of anti-philosphy, following on what he wrote in his much larger and more challenging "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature": amazon.com

So what was Leibniz into?

" The general view of scholars is that the Kabbalah had no appreciable influence on the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. But on the basis of new evidence, Professor Coudert argues that this conclusion is mistaken. Leibniz was neither the foolish optimist Voltaire made him out to be in Candide nor the supreme rationalist described by so many subsequent scholars. He was a radical gnostic, whose philosophy was profoundly influenced by the Lurianic Kabbalah. Once this somewhat startling fact is understood, key areas of his philosophy, such as his concept of monads, defense of free will, and theodicy, can be seen in entirely new ways, which solve many of the problems that have perplexed scholars. This book is for all levels of readers, from those with a general interest in intellectual history to specialists in philosophy, the history of science, theology, and Jewish studies. "

Just as I had suspected, like Baruch Spinoza before him.

226 pages, Coudert is at UC Davis and has written a lot of interesting books. amazon.com

amazon.com

Yep, chapter 4, 21 pages, "Kabbalah and Monads"

^^^^^ Well not really available

But available:

Alchemy, the philosopher's stone / Allison Coudert. (1980)

And published just after her Liebniz book, which also tied Liebniz to van Helmont The impact of the Kabbalah in the seventeenth century : the life and thought of Francis Mercury van Helmont (1614-1698) / by Allison P. Coudert (1998)

Nirvana - Come As You Are youtube.com

This song in my head last night. It must be in the Key of D.

Most everyone can hear relative pitch. But very few can hear absolute pitch. The reason every key sounds different is because the percussion tuning is not changed. Musicians deny that percussion is tuned to any specific pitch, saying that rather it is just tuned until it sounds right. But that is silly, because that is exactly how a violin is played, by making it sound right. Tympani tunes with a crank handle, and it has a gauge right on it. So the kick drum is tuned to A of the 16ft octave, the same as the second to lowest string of a four string bass, 55 hz. All the drums are tuned.

These kind of songs are always in D. I think it has something to do with that A note, the dominant.

So to really know you almost have to play along with it. The D scale has F and C sharped. But it can be done with accidentals too. And some music revolves around other notes than the tonic. Some is Mixolyidian and so it revolves around the dominant and has the 7th ( C# ) flatted. Lots of ways. In the end it is just listening to it and trying to play along which will resolve this.

This ends on the D major triad and the chorus versus end on the D major triad. Usually that is the final determinant of what key it is in.

Alternate guitar tuning is being used, one suggestive of D.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu " Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) was one of the great thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and is known as the last “universal genius”. He made deep and important contributions to the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy of religion, as well as mathematics, physics, geology, jurisprudence, and history. Even the eighteenth-century French atheist and materialist Denis Diderot, whose views were very often at odds with those of Leibniz, could not help being awed by his achievement, writing in his entry on Leibniz in the Encyclopedia, “Perhaps never has a man read as much, studied as much, meditated more, and written more than Leibniz… What he has composed on the world, God, nature, and the soul is of the most sublime eloquence. If his ideas had been expressed with the flair of Plato, the philosopher of Leipzig would cede nothing to the philosopher of Athens.” (Oeuvres complètes, vol. 7, p. 709) Indeed, Diderot was almost moved to despair in this piece: “When one compares the talents one has with those of a Leibniz, one is tempted to throw away one's books and go die quietly in the dark of some forgotten corner.” (Oeuvres complètes, vol. 7, p. 678) More than a century later, Gottlob Frege, who fortunately did not cast his books away in despair, expressed similar admiration, declaring that “in his writings, Leibniz threw out such a profusion of seeds of ideas that in this respect he is virtually in a class of his own.” (“Boole's logical Calculus and the Concept-script” in Posthumous Writings, p. 9) The aim of this entry is primarily to introduce Leibniz's life and summarize and explicate his views in the realms of metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophical theology. "

To me it seems like Leibniz must be highly influenced by Kabbalah and Neo-Platonism, basically the Western Occult Tradition.

1. is the guy hugging the bidet your mug?
2. You need to tell Mary to update the page since she seems to be the only one updating it and some of the links do not work.
3. Is Mary your mom or are you actually Mary? If she is your mom, what does she think about all the pics of strippers on the page?
4. Wonder what all those kids spelling out SJG would think if they knew they were on a website detailing strippers and sex?

Riemann, topology, and physics / Michael Monastyrsky ; with a foreword by Freeman J. Dyson. (1999)

Saturday I reported on a man who had vanished from a 49er's stadium game the previous Monday. Saturday they found a body in the water near the old unused Alviso Marina and some old concrete boat ramps. The stuff is unused because silt comes in from the bay and fills it up.

I have years ago explored all around there. It is interesting, but even in the day time potentially dangerous. I once got stuck hip deep in mud and a shoe came off. Getting my foot back into the shoe I was able to recover it. But I was taking more risks in doing so.

This man was in the military, maybe Special Forces. So likely he handles himself quite well in the outdoors, even at night.

Not sure if any conclusions have been reached, but to me it sounds more and more like a suicide. Left his cell phone, battery run down to zero, in his car at the stadium. Also left his girl friend and her two kids there. But talking on the phone and using video up until the point he vanished.

Here SJPD say that the body was found floating face down about 1 mile out from the Marina and the Ramps. yahoo.com

I believe that police probably have more tidbits of information which they are not going to disclose until they are ready to close the case.

In a homicide it is usually those closest to the deceased who did it, and they are exposed by the contradictions in their stories. To me, this is sounding more and more like a suicide.

Here it sound like he was found at the boat launch, though those concrete ramps are unusable do to silt. thespun.com

Still waiting to hear that they have confirmed the identity, and then of course for any conclusions.

The US and Russian leaders listened in silence as Mr Macron took a swipe at the rising tide of populism in the US and Europe, warning: “The old demons are rising again, ready to complete their task of chaos and of death.”

“In saying, ‘Our interests first, whatever happens to the others’, you erase the most precious thing a nation can have, that which makes it live, that which causes it to be great and that which is most important: its moral values.”

Philosopher Tobias Rees Raises a Question Everyone Thinks is Already Settled

Tobias Rees asks: 'What is human, anyway?'

metroactive.com

" The distinction between what is human and non-human is one of the most fundamental ideas of our shared consciousness. You figured out that distinction pretty early on in childhood, and you've never questioned it since.

That is, unless your name is Tobias Rees.

An anthropologist and philosopher, Rees is the director of something called the "Transformations of the Human" program at the Berggruen Institute in Los Angeles. He's also the keynote speaker on Nov. 26 in the Deep Humanities series at San Jose State University. "

" Rees points to studies of the "micro-biome," the enormous and complex ecosystem of bacteria that thrives in every healthy human body. "We don't really know where the human being ends and the micro-biome begins," he says. "Most of the neurotransmitters in your brain were made by bacteria." "

" Rees says the general scientific concept of the human is only a few hundred years old, and emerged from the European Enlightenment. It was a concept that led directly to ideas of natural rights and to revolutions in America and France. "

" The notion that AI will bring on an existential crisis in humanity has already been broached in popular culture, particularly in films such as 2014's Ex Machina, in which Oscar Isaac's Silicon Valley AI wizard ruminates about the future: "One day, the AIs are going to look back at us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa: an upright ape, living in the dust, with crude language and tools, all set for extinction."

Sex Tra******g?

I say this woman is wrong, particularly about the United States and about California. She teaches at CSU Chico. She talks about the Central Valley, and she talks about International Blvd Oakland.

Maybe there are once and a while occurrences like she describes, but as I can see it is very rare. Other types of crime and other types of child abuse are far more common than what she describes.

I say that this woman has a highly distorted perception because she has a problem about sex.

And it connects with occult thinking.

TJ Street farm8.staticflickr.com

It took the Catholic Church a long time to cannonize John of the Cross, and longer to make him Doctor of the Church. In Carmelite circles you may not see this, but he has always been controversial.

en.wikipedia.org

"The influence of the Song of Songs on the Spiritual Canticle has often been noted, both in terms of the structure of the poem, with its dialogue between two lovers, the account of their difficulties in meeting each other and the "offstage chorus" that comments on this action, and also in terms of the imagery of pomegranates, wine cellar, turtle dove and lilies, for example, which echoes that of the Song of Songs."

"It has rarely been disputed that the overall structure of John’s mystical theology, and his language of the union of the soul with God, is influenced by the pseudo-Dionysian tradition.[52] However, it has not been clear whether John might have had direct access to the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius, or whether this influence may have been mediated through various later authors.

Right here, Pseudo-Dionysius, complete works: paulistpress.com

But who did he learn from?

newadvent.org

" Dionysius is the author of three long treatises (The Divine Names, The Celestial Hierarchy, and The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy) one short treatise (The Mystical Theology) and ten letters expounding various aspects of Christian Philosophy from a mystical and Neoplatonic perspective. Presenting himself as Dionysius the Areopagite, the disciple of Paul mentioned in Acts 17:34, his writings had the status of apostolic authority until the 19th century when studies had shown the writings denoted a marked influence from the Athenian Neoplatonic school of Proclus and thus were probably written ca. 500. "

Seems to be talking about the real Dionysius the Areopagite. Says that since we cannot say what God is, the best way of describing him is by saying what his is not. He is not "illiberal".

This tiny house movement and linking this to the enforcement of move on laws is no good.

This is going to lead to interment camps.

sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com

It will be like the John Sobrato internment camp they tried to build, using shipping containers as tiny houses, all stacked up. It was designed to funnel people into the mental health system. And of course they would also be exposed to the Born Again Christian ministries.

Fortunately he was defeated, but Pierreluigi Oliverio ran for County Supervisor, wanting the 'mentally ill' to be subjected to forcible medication. They are trying to turn poverty and homelessness into a mental health issue.

Local government works in tandem with the Recovery Movement and with the Born Again groups.

People need to wise up and start fighting back.

Oliverio sighted his brother, who he wants forcibly medicated. So he is the good child, where as the brother is the scapegoat child.

And then the Recovery groups and the Born Again groups both destroy political consciousness.

Talking about a housing shortage and building more housing does nothing to stop the above abuses. The people who support that have themselves scapegoat siblings who often live on the street or worse.

The psalms, heralded by the key-thoughts of their respective antiphons, serve to attune the mind to the glory of the deity. The Little Chapter and hymn introduce other notes. Then the whole culminates in the great outpouring of praise at the Te Deum or the Magnificat and comes to a fitting conclusion in the peace and calm of the collects and final versicles.

Named Krotona, the commune was a haven for followers of the mystical movement founded by Helena P. Blavatsky, whose principles included the promotion of unity across all sexes, colors, castes and creeds; compassion for all living beings and dedication to the “Divine Wisdom.”

The man behind the 10-acre community was Albert Powell Warrington, who transformed canyons into a secluded sanctuary for Theosophists, writes Hadley Hall Meares for Curbed LA. In her latest piece, she uncovers the history of Beachwood Canyon’s early bohemian colony: "

Close to Annie Besant

President of the American Theosophical Society, 1912 - 1920. Also involved in the move to Ojai.

Annie Besant theosophy.wiki

born 1847, London

passed away just before her 85th bday, 1933

1927 purchased land for Happy Valley Foundation, Ojai CA.

Elected President of Theosophical Foundation 1907 ( succeeding Olcott )

Progressive Activist!

" Around the time of her marriage Annie visited some friends in Manchester, where she got into contact with both English radicals and the Irish Fenian Martyrs of Manchester. Through elderly lawyer William Roberts, much loved by the workers of Manchester for his unpaid work on their behalf, she became acquainted with the conditions of the urban poor. All this awakened her political and social consciousness.

After her marriage Annie began to support farm workers who were fighting to unionise and to win better conditions; her husband sided with the landlords and farmers.

During her marriage and soon after her separation, Annie began to lose her faith in Christianity and gradually fell into atheism and the Freethought movement, which sought to alleviate human suffering through education and social reform. In the summer of 1874 she became a member of the National Secular Society. In 1875, she would be elected as its vice-president. During this stage of her life she would become a remarkable supporter of freedom of thought, women's rights, secularism, birth control, Fabian socialism and workers' rights.

At the head of the movement was Charles Bradlaugh, who soon developed a close relationship with Besant. He was the editor of the radical newspaper the National Reformer and gave her a job working for it as a columnist and reviewer. During the next few years she wrote many articles on issues such as marriage and women's right to vote, trade unions, national education, birth control, and the abolition of capital punishment. At this time Besant also developed a reputation as an outstanding public speaker. Her first talk was on "The Political Status of Women" and it was a success, printed later as a pamphlet.

Besant began to lecture around the country, sometimes along with Bradlaugh, sometimes by herself, and soon became one of the most prominent champions of atheism and freethought in Britain.

Besant and Bradlaugh became household names in 1877 when they republished a pamphlet promoting birth-control by the American Charles Knowlton entitled The Fruits of Philosophy. The work claimed that in order to be happy, working-class families had to be able to decide how many children they wanted. The pamphlet was highly controversial and caused a real scandal, especially among the religious establishment. It was vigorously opposed by the Church and eventually banned as an "obscene work."

They were arrested and put on trial; charged with publishing material that was "likely to deprave or corrupt those whose minds are open to immoral influences." In court they argued that "we think it more moral to prevent conception of children than, after they are born, to murder them by want of food, air and clothing."

During the trial Besant was instrumental in founding the Malthusian League, which would advocate for the abolition of penalties for the promotion of contraception. She wrote and published her own birth-control pamphlet with a "less coarse" style entitled The Laws of Population. The idea of a woman advocating birth-control received wide-publicity. Newspapers like The Times accused Besant of writing "an indecent, lewd, filthy, bawdy and obscene book." They were both found guilty of publishing an "obscene libel" and sentenced to six months in prison. However, the conviction was quashed on appeal due to a technicality.

In spite of the legal victory, Annie had to pay a terrible price for the scandal. Rev. Besant used the publicity of the affair to file a case for the custody of their daughter Mabel. He was able to persuade the court that she was unfit to look after her on the grounds of Annie being an atheist, associated to infidel Charles Bradlaugh, and promoter of an indecent obscene pamphlet.

The loss of her two children caused her great grief. When they grew up, however, they both became devoted admirers of their mother. "

In the United States, Mrs. Besant purchased land in 1927 to establish the Happy Valley Foundation in Ojai, California. A school was not formed immediately, but with the efforts of J. Krishnamurti and others, the Besant Hill School of Happy Valley now operates on that site.

"The term Theosophy comes from the Greek theosophia, which is composed of two words: theos (god, gods, or divine) and sophia (wisdom). Theosophia, therefore, may be translated as the wisdom of the gods, wisdom in things divine, or divine wisdom."

"Theosophy, also known as Christian theosophy and Boehmian theosophy, refers to a range of positions within Christianity which focus on the attainment of direct, unmediated knowledge of the nature of divinity and the origin and purpose of the universe. They have been characterized as mystical and occultist philosophies.[1] Theosophy is considered part of Western esotericism, which believes that hidden knowledge or wisdom from the ancient past offers a path to enlightenment and salvation.

The foundation of Christian theosophy is usually attributed to the German philosopher Jakob Böhme.

In 1875, the term "theosophy" was adopted and revived by the Theosophical Society, an esoteric organisation which spawned a spiritual movement also called Theosophy.[2] In the twentieth century, theosophy became the object of study for various scholars of Western esotericism. "

And are there any other hidden powers of the mind and thought at work in today's world politics? In Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, historian and cultural critic Gary Lachman takes a close look at the various magical and esoteric ideas that are impacting political events across the globe. From New Thought and Chaos Magick to the far-right esotericism of Julius Evola and the Traditionalists, Lachman follows a trail of mystic clues that involve, among others, Norman Vincent Peale, domineering gurus and demagogues, Ayn Rand, Pepe the Frog, Rene Schwaller de Lubicz, synarchy, the Alt-Right, meme magic, and Vladimir Putin and his postmodern Rasputin. Come take a drop down the rabbit hole of occult politics in the twenty-first century and find out the post-truths and alternative facts surrounding the 45th President of the United States with one of the leading writers on esotericism and its influence on modern culture."

"The occult was a crucial influence on the Renaissance, and it obsessed the popular thinkers of the day. But with the Age of Reason, occultism was sidelined; only charlatans found any use for it. Occult ideas did not disappear, however, but rather went underground. It developed into a fruitful source of inspiration for many important artists. Works of brilliance, sometimes even of genius, were produced under its influence. In A Dark Muse, Lachman discusses the Enlightenment obsession with occult politics, the Romantic explosion, the futuristic occultism of the fin de siècle, and the deep occult roots of the modernist movement. Some of the writers and thinkers featured in this hidden history of western thought and sensibility are Emanuel Swedenborg, Charles Baudelaire, J. K. Huysmans, August Strindberg, William Blake, Goethe, Madame Blavatsky, H. G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe, and Malcolm Lowry."

So trying to learn as much as I can now about this Theosophical Society. Will need to read books, but I am already reading all the books I can.

Founded in 1877, lots of bad press about it since. But remember, the main problem with Esoteric Groups is that they are either of the Right Wing, overtly or covertly, or they are New Age Lint Head groups.

Well, it was Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society which first encouraged Gandhi to ignore the Christian Missionaries and read the Gita. And it was his deciding that it should not be read as a literal prescription, which resulted in his doctrine of non-violence.

And then during two world wars the Theosophical Society had its members joining every branch and sub branch of the US Armed Services, criticizing Gandhi for his pacifism, and criticizing the US for its neutrality.

California has lots and lots of Esoteric - Occult groups.

But the Theosophical Society had Charlie Chaplin and Aldous Huxley.

That is a very long way from being represented by imbeciles like John Travolta and Tom Cruise.

So this Richard Smoley was the editor of the awesome but short lived San Francisco based Gnosis Magazine. en.wikipedia.org

To my ear this is an extremely sad song.

Breaks some of the conventions for guitar music, using lots of slash cords, and this F# Major. Black key music, okay for keyboard, but not common for guitar because it uses no open string notes. Are his people using an alternative tuning?

Founder, please unlock our old threads. Too time consumptive to keep a bunch of topical threads going.

Try to learn more about Theosophical Society

theosophical.org

World View theosophical.org

" The universe and all that exists within it are one interrelated and interdependent whole.

Every existent being-from atom to galaxy-is rooted in the same universal, life-creating Reality. This Reality is all pervasive but it can never be summed up in its parts, since it transcends all its expressions. It reveals itself in the purposeful, ordered, and meaningful processes of nature as well as in the deepest recesses of the mind and spirit.

Recognition of the unique value of every living being expresses itself in reverence for life, compassion for all, sympathy with the need of all individuals to find truth for themselves, and respect for all religious traditions. The ways in which these ideals become realities in individual life are both the privileged choice and the responsible act of every human being.

Central to the concerns of theosophy is the desire to promote understanding and unity among people of all races, nationalities, philosophies, and religions. Therefore, all people, whatever their race, creed, sex, caste, or color, are invited to participate equally in the life and work of the Society. The Theosophical Society imposes no dogmas, but points toward the source of unity behind all differences. Devotion to truth, love for all living beings, and commitment to a life of active altruism are the marks of the true Theosophist. "

Christian Ritual in Theosophical Perspective theosophical.org

Okay, the basic membership fee is $60 per year. ( Quite reasonable, far less than AMORC )

theosophicalsocietyofsanfrancisco.blogspot.com

This has got a lot more lodges and study centers than I ever would have imagined. So it must have people and money. If not a religious org, then it has to pay property tax.

Has an extensive collection of articles to communicate its teachings. But it does not seem to be like AMORC or BOTA, with weekly lessons, or with initiations.

So of this Evangelical Christian movement, mostly it comes from Paul Weyrich working with the then unknown Jerry Falwell, and then those like Tim Lahey coming form the 1958 founded John Birch Society, and then Pat Robertson prints in his books all the Bircher type stuff. So people are led to believe that their Salvation Status comes from supporting the Anti-Liberal Crusade.

Goldberg talks much of about Roy Moore of Alabama, and his 2.5 ton 10 Commandment monument, taken on tour around the country after it finally was removed from the Alabama Supreme Court.

Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, by Michelle Goldberg (2006)

pg 57

" Megachurch Machines

Nowhere was the influence of the cultural right starker than in the election-deciding state of Ohio.

The first Bush term wasn't very good to Ohio. Between 2000 and 2004, the state lost a quarter of a million jobs--the second worst record in the country. Under Bush, Cleveland became America's poorest big city, according to a report from the U.S. Census Bureau. Young people were leaving the state in droves. In August 2004, Brent Larkin, editorial-page director of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, wrote about Ohio's "raging brain drain."

But even as the state's economy decayed, its evangelical churches thrived. Drive down Interstate 75 toward Cincinnati and the parade of neon-lit crosses flickering by from roadside churches is hypnotic. Christian talk shows, Christian pop, and portentous sermons crowd the radio dial. Near the town of Monroe, a recently erected sixty-two-foot-tall bust of Jesus made of plastic foam and fiberglass beseeches onlookers from the front of Solid Rock Church, its thick white hands raised up to heaven. "

Not personally seeing why Ohio would be any different from any place else, its economy or its susceptibility to commercial fatalism.

Reading more of Michelle Goldberg's "Kingdom Coming"

These abstinence advocates are sickening. And some of the doctrin is coming right out of The John Birch Society. They even say that sex outside of marriage will make people "vulnerable to Communism".

This would be impossible to parody.

And as we have been talking much about abortion now. The US does have a higher teen pregnancy rate, because we have shitty sex education, corrupted by the abstinence doctrine. So what that means is, when they have sex, which they do, they will be less likely to be using any contraception.

Especially for girls, they are not to be totally beyond sex, they just can't plan on it happening. That is a recipe for teen pregnancy.

So $40 Meg US. For 58,000 sqft, 3 stories. So this is a bit less than the $1000 / sqft estimate which cities are using. Some officials have gone to $1200 sqft.

But watch out, that 58,000 sqft might not all be use able. They might be counting that central three story atrium, all three floors of it, to get the 58,000.

This was Kenneth Dowlin's mistake in San Francisco in the 90's.

So finishing up with Michelle Goldberg's Kingdom Coming.

So let me try and record her a few of her remaining references:

Roger Griffin, "The Nature of Fascism" 2003

Fritz Stern, The Politics of Cultural Despair: A Study In The Rise Of The Germanic Ideology" 1989

page 210 "It makes no sense to fight religious authoritarianims abroad wile letting it take over at home?"

page 209, Muslim Fundamentalist woman says at conference, "... American culture and communism are the same, because both are colonialist forces that assult traditional norms."

page 204, Fenton Communications, handles public relations for MoveOn, put together Campaign to Defend the Constitution, grassroots group devoted to raising awareness about the Religious Right.

MoveOn is the closest thing liberals have to the Christian Coalition.

page 201 "It's unfair to condemn anyone for seeking redress from the Supreme Court -- African-Americans, gay people, and others are entirely justified in not wanting to put their civil rights up for popular vote."

"Ever since Brown v. Board, the left has turned to the Supreme Court to defend civil liberties in the face of hostile majorities."

page 199, she counts the most effective groups, ACLU, People for the American Way, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and Southern Poverty Law Center. ( all have at times received money from me. )

Redeemer Presbyterian Church, breakaway denomination, having Dr. James Kennedy's Coral Ridge Ministries, part of the far right.

Presbyterian Church of America, another far right breakaway.

Another is Evangelical Preybeterian Church.

And then in recent years, Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians.

All breaking away from the sensible Presbyterian Church U.S.A.

Days of Awe and Wonder How to be a Christian in the 21st Century Marcus J. Borg (2017)

So Marcus Borg passed away in 2015. This new book is from his other writings, and from sermons and lectures. It has been put together by his wife, and by marcusjborg.org

So my reading balance plan worked for over 18 months. But I need to read this stuff. But I don't like it. These guys are not going to denounce Christian identification or Sunday Sermons, because that is how they earn their livings.

John Shelby Spong of course is dealing with these German Existential Theologians. These guys are challenging. Spong challenges me in every way. But still, he holds to Christian identification, and as a retired Episcopalian Bishop, he has given lots of sermons.

So I want to know this material, but still not sure how many more of these books I want to read, at least at this time.

So Huston Smith they say wrote a book as a corrective to Borg's Heart of Christianity. That later was interesting, but I have always taken strong exception to it.

Yes, so as an interreligious type, he might be a bit further out there.

en.wikipedia.org

This is what is supposedly a corrective to Borg: Soul of Christianity: Restoring the Great Tradition, 2005

The soul of Christianity : restoring the great tradition / Huston Smith. (2005)

maybe^^^^

So the authors I want to assimilate are F. Forrest Church, Marcus Borg, Bruce Chilton, John Shelby Spong, Michelle Goldberg, some of John Dominic Crossan, and some now of Huston Smith.

Beyond the above its really people who are into Esoteric or Occult Christianity.

So also consider:

The Essential Tillich, by F. Forrester Church amazon.com

en.wikipedia.org

Christian Existentialism, traced back to Kierkegaard en.wikipedia.org

Christian Existentialism often refers to what it calls the indirect style of Christ's teachings, which it considers to be a distinctive and important aspect of his ministry. Christ's point, it says, is often left unsaid in any particular parable or saying, to permit each individual to confront the truth on his own.

Christian Existentialism often refers to what it calls the indirect style of Christ's teachings, which it considers to be a distinctive and important aspect of his ministry. Christ's point, it says, is often left unsaid in any particular parable or saying, to permit each individual to confront the truth on his own.[5] This is particularly evident in (but is certainly not limited to) his parables; for example in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 18:21-35). A good example of indirect communication in the Old Testament is the story of David and Nathan in 2 Samuel 12:1-14.

It has been claimed that Radical Existential Christians’ faith is based in their sensible and immediate and direct experience of God indwelling in human terms.[17] It is suggested that individuals do not make or create their Christian existence; it does not come as a result of a decision one personally makes. The radical Protestants of the 17th century, for example Quakers may have been in some ways theo-philosophically aligned with radical existential Christianity.

So reading Huston Smith's "Soul of Christianity"

page 28, point 14.

"Walnuts have shells that house kernels, and religions likewise have outsides and insides: they have outer, esoteric forms that house inner, esoteric cores. People differ on which of these stands out more clearly for them. For esoterics God is in focal view view, whereas for exoterics his created world is focal and God must be inferred from it. It follows that for exoterics this concrete and the celestial world is abstract, whereas for esoterics it is the other way around.

. . .

For esoterics, only God at the tip of the pyramid of virtues is completely real, and because he occupies no space he is formless. Esoterics are comfortable with this, but exoteric minds require forms -- diagrams, words, propositions -- to work with. . . . (talking about C. S. Lewis, someone who goes right up my spine, parents admonished him not to ascribe a form to God.) "Lewis tells us that he tried and tried to imagine a formless God, but the closest he could come was an endless sea of gray tapioca. Precisely! It follows that exoterics need to think of God in personal terms, where as esoterics (while sometimes clothing God in human attributes ) recognize the danger of anthropomorphism -- making God too human -- and therefore complement their "personal" God with what Lewis's parents were getting at. We requier that God be both like and unlike us -- like us so we can connect with him, and different from us because we cannot worship our own kind. Absolute imminence and absolute transcendence in absolute tension is what gives maximal tonus to our spiritual lives.

(then Smith goes on to talk about Dionysius the Areopagite and how he pushed transcendence in his "The Divine Names")

Smith wrote this because the publisher asked him to endorse Marcus Borg's "The Heart of Christianity". After reading some, Smith refused and told the publisher that he would write a book to refute it.

To summarize, when he talks about the created world for exoterics, that means how many people show up at church. Exoteric Christianity is about keeping the pews and collection plate full, influencing how people vote, and about teaching people to say, "I Am A Christian" on queue.

Smith's book, though it might not really refute Borg, it is a radically better book and the vision it puts forth is vastly broader.

Socialism and Religion

1905

marxists.org

" The economic oppression of the workers inevitably calls forth and engenders every kind of political oppression and social humiliation, the coarsening and darkening of the spiritual and moral life of the masses. The workers may secure a greater or lesser degree of political liberty to fight for their economic emancipation, but no amount of liberty will rid them of poverty, unemployment, and oppression until the power of capital is overthrown. Religion is one of the forms of spiritual oppression which everywhere weighs down heavily upon the masses of the people, over burdened by their perpetual work for others, by want and isolation. Impotence of the exploited classes in their struggle against the exploiters just as inevitably gives rise to the belief in a better life after death as impotence of the savage in his battle with nature gives rise to belief in gods, devils, miracles, and the like. Those who toil and live in want all their lives are taught by religion to be submissive and patient while here on earth, and to take comfort in the hope of a heavenly reward. But those who live by the labour of others are taught by religion to practise charity while on earth, thus offering them a very cheap way of justifying their entire existence as exploiters and selling them at a moderate price tickets to well-being in heaven. Religion is opium for the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man. "

. . .

" The revolutionary proletariat will succeed in making religion a really private affair, so far as the state is concerned. And in this political system, cleansed of medieval mildew, the proletariat will wage a broad and open struggle for the elimination of economic slavery, the true source of the religious humbugging of mankind. "

page 6, point number 4

"Causation is from the top down, from the Infinite down through the descending degrees of reality."

So trying to finish up with Huston Smith's "Soul of Christianity"

Smith quotes from a Pius IX document, saying that being part of the "church visible" is not a necessary condition for salvation.

en.wikipedia.org

en.wikipedia.org

npr.org

Smith, page 88

Pius IX

"the natural law, the commands of which are written by God in every human heart, and being ready to obey him, live honorably and uprightly, can, with the power of Divine light and grace helping them, attain eternal life. For God, who clearly sees, searches out, and knows the minds, hearts, thoughts, and dispositions of all, in his great goodness and mercy does not by any means suffer a man to be punished with eternal torments, who is not guilty of voluntary faults."

SJG

page 56, Smith quotes the Beatitudes, and then says,

"We learn from these sayings that blessedness -- beatitude -- is not unalloyed happiness. It is paradoxical happiness, wherein the sorrow is not eliminated but is enfolded and transmuted by God's all-permeating love. In blessedness the spear of suffering is enveloped in a shaft of light. The light shines in darkness, which does not consume it."

"Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters cannot be my disciple."

page 90, Speaking of Saul's conversion, speaks of Saul as heir to "throne mysticism". He will later say this about Revelations. But for now he lists Enoch, Ezekiel, and Isaiah.

Explains that Paul effected the 4 Gospels and most everything else in the NT.

Don't know that Smith really refuted Borg, but Smith's is a much better book, much broader vision. Borg's by contrast is more like a marketing plan for some denominational Protestant churches need to re-invent themselves if they expect to be able to keep the lights on.

Smith is very interesting, but it is still not the anti-born again, anti-I AM A CHRISTIAN, message I was looking for.

Fanon is the apostle of violent decolonisation. Violence is the "absolute praxis" (DT, 63). “The colonised man finds his freedom in and through violence. This rule of conduct enlightens the agent because it indicates to him the means and the end.” (DT, 64) But Fanon’s specific contribution, his originality, lay in emphasising the essentially pathological nature of the colonial situation, on how neurosis and mental pathologies developed as a result of the colonial situation. Therefore, he stressed that violence had not simply a political or strategic function, it has an individual and existential therapeutic value, as it liberates colonised and oppressed people from colonial neurosis and inferiority complexes. “At the level of individuals, violence is a disintoxifying force. It frees the colonised from his inferiority complex and from his desperate and contemplative attitude. It makes him fearless and restores his self respect.” (DT, 70)

U.K., Irish Politicians Join Funeral for Murdered Journalist Lyra McKee democracynow.org

And in Belfast, funeral services were held Wednesday for Northern Irish journalist Lyra McKee, who was shot in the head by an Irish nationalist militant last week during riots in the city of Derry. Leaders from both sides of Northern Ireland’s political divide appeared side by side at the funeral; they were joined by British officials and leaders from the Republic of Ireland in St. Anne’s Protestant cathedral.

At Wednesday’s funeral, a friend revealed that just hours before she was murdered, Lyra McKee said she was about to propose marriage to her partner, Sara Canning.

A group calling itself the New IRA, which opposes the 1998 Belfast Agreement peace accord, has claimed responsibility for the murder, though it didn’t identify the shooter. Ahead of Wednesday’s funeral, Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald condemned the assassination.

Mary Lou McDonald: “So it’s past time now for these groups that masquerade as Republicans to pack up and pack it in, to end their activities and to let the people get on with the work of building a new united Ireland, that Ireland that we all want, an Ireland that will be a tribute to our patriot dead and to all who died, the Ireland in which Lyra McKee should have lived.”

The Phrygian cap or liberty cap is a soft conical cap with the apex bent over, associated in antiquity with several peoples in Eastern Europe and Anatolia, including Phrygia, Dacia, and the Balkans. In early modern Europe it came to signify freedom and the pursuit of liberty through a confusion with the pileus, the felt cap of manumitted (emancipated) slaves of ancient Rome. In artistic representations it signifies freedom and the pursuit of liberty.

Dogs’ Eyes Have Changed Since Humans Befriended Them

Two specialized muscles give them a range of expression that wolves’ eyes lack.

theatlantic.com

That Mitch McConnell is an idiot. Talking about reparations payments he talks about slavery and says that we fought the Civil War to end slavery. Nothing could be further from the truth.

At the 1860 Democratic National Convention, Southerners demanded "A Slave Code For The West", they had been insisting that slavery be able to expand into the West. When they did not get this, they followed the lead of the Senator from Mississippi, Jefferson Davis, and walked out of the convention. This convention had been the last clear chance to avoid war, but walking out split the party and guaranteed that the new Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln would win. Lincoln said he was not going to let slavery spread into the Western States, but that he would not interfere with it where it was now practiced.

No matter though, in December South Carolina and Mississippi announced their intents to secede. This would then be followed by a total of 7 states announcing secession, and proceeding to take over all post offices and court houses, until there was nothing left but Fort Sumter. And this was all before Lincoln's March Inauguration.

So Lincoln did respond, even though that meant 4 more states announcing secession and turmoil in Kentucky and Missouri, simply to try and restore the Union. Original intents were simply to restore the Union as it had been. Lincoln moved at once to occupy Baltimore and DC. He drew upon Benjamin Butler of Massachusetts as occupation general.

Originally Butler was to be returning escaped slaves to their owners, following the 1850 fugitive slave act. And originally Butler saw his job as that of preventing a slave revolt, like the one which founded the nation of Haiti.

Quickly though Butler saw that returning slaves made no sense, and so he reclassified escaped slaves as "war contraband".

Though some in the newly founded Republican Party were Radical Abolitionists, not so with Abraham Lincoln. He was never like this.

What forced his hand were England and France. England had stationed a 2 million man army in Canada, "for possible intervention in the American Civil War". France was being run by that idiot Emperor Louis Napoleon the 3rd. He was claiming colonies across the globe and he had stationed his puppet Maximilian in Mexico.

England and France were saying that they were going to give diplomatic recognition to the Confederacy. Then they would be able to use their sea power to break the Union blockade, as well as advancing across US borders. This would have expanded the scope of the Civil War to the point where it was unwinable.

So seeing no other options, Lincoln broke his campaign pledge and issued the Emancipation Proclamation. This did neutralize England and France. But this did not free slaves in Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and some other federally occupied areas like the mid-atlantic coast and around New Orleans.

What finally made it such that slavery had to be completely abolished by Constitutional Amendment was simply the fact that 180,000 black men trained with rifled muskets and bayonets and served in federal uniform. After this it was thus untenable to back track.

Will watch this later, but the second link is just a trailer. One guy shot at a German steam locomotive from the front. Trying to stop it from making it into a tunnel.

It was being protected from the rear by an anti-aircraft gun on a flat car.

Just seeing this out of context, unlikely that train had anything other than ordinance, and it was likely going west.

The P-51 got a cracked windshield. This pilot was quite bold. Maybe the engine sucked some wreckage in, as it had black smoke all the way back. Engine ruined. Lucky it did not seize up.

Talking like this pilot is in trouble, second ruined plane?

Most likely he saved the lives of many Americans who would soon be facing whatever that train was carrying.

Usually I can watch videos, while I do other things. But this is too much, can't take my eyes off of it. Had to pause it just to make this post.

When they blew up the steam locomotive they were still flying P-40's. I hadn't looked at them that closely.

Then they provided air cover for a landing in Italy. They shot down 9 ME-109's. Their German flight leader's plane was badly damaged, so they followed him back to his base. He belly landed but got out okay.

They ransacked that base, shooting up planes on the ground and while taking off. They shot up their flak defenses.

But that German flight leader was unharmed and on his feet. He saw that they were black, "Afrikaners" and he didn't like it.

Then their commander was called to Washington, met with a 3 star, Lieutenant General, probably the head of the entire Army Air Corps. He shifted them to bomber escort and got them the new P-51's

Though AI can be used in positive ways, it’s important to note that it can also exclude or harm certain groups of people, especially when a diverse set of AI creators is not involved in developing the technology. Because AI can reflect the biases of the people creating it (sometimes without them even knowing), it is important to include a wide range of people and perspectives in the AI field. When AI is created by groups that reflect the world we live in, we believe AI solutions will be more innovative, more ethical, and will solve new problems.

" Researchers are trying to better understand the biology of stress and its impact on child health. Now, data suggests those connections may form as early as the womb, with studies indicating frequent and prolonged adversity for pregnant women can affect the development of their babies. Stephanie Sy reports on a program aimed at easing the stress and struggles of mothers and their unborn children. "

pbs.org

Originally came from Yahoo News.

"Stephanie Sy has a report produced by Yahoo News about how frequent or prolonged adversity for a mother could affect the development of the baby in the womb."

"Researchers now believe poverty can begin in the womb, if a mother is exposed to toxic stress."

"Dr. Jack Shonkoff:

We have studied resilience in the face of poverty.

One of the most important predictors of good outcomes in the face of adversity is the presence of at least one reliable, responsive, protective relationship with an important person.

It can be a — and very often is a parent, can be another family member, a grandparent. "

"Stephanie Sy:

The science may be new, but the national organization Nurse-Family Partnership has been putting it to practice for nearly four decades. "

"

Stephanie Sy:

Nurses like Lori Rogers in Montgomery, Alabama, pay home visits to first-time mothers, providing medical checkups and helping them set goals.

Lori Rogers:

One of the things about Nurse-Family Partnership is to make sure that, hey, we're asking, what do you want to do with your life? What's important to you?

"

"

Stephanie Sy:

Beth Babcock is head of a program based in Boston called EMPath, which uses the latest neuroscience to coach families toward better outcomes.

Elisabeth Babcock:

We're seeing families that, when we work with them for three years or more, are almost doubling their incomes.

The real process of helping people move out of poverty is the process of standing beside and helping them see themselves and their future in a different way.

" This gripping narrative explores today's scientific pursuit of immortality, with exclusive visits inside Silicon Valley labs and interviews with the visionaries who believe we will soon crack into the aging process and cure death. We live in an age when billionaires are betting their fortunes on laboratory advances to prove aging unnecessary and death a disease that can be cured. Researchers are delving into stem cells and sequencing genomes, determining what it means to grow old and how to keep those processes from happening. This isn't science fiction--it's real, it's serious, and it's on track to revolutionize our definitions of life and mortality. In Immortality, Inc., veteran science journalist Chip Walter gains exclusive access to the champions of this radical cause, resulting in a book that brings together for the first time the visions of Google CEO Arthur Levinson, genomics entrepreneur Craig Venter, futurist Ray Kurzweil, rejuvenation engineer Aubrey de Grey, and stem cell scientist Robert Hariri. Along the way, Walter weaves in fascinating conversations about life, death, aging, and the future of the human race. "

Part of it is that I and others have helped get other people onto the City Council, in particular one woman who I know would act responsibly and solve such a problem.

So I am counting this as VICTORY!

Sorry, I regret this, but I cannot say more at this time.

Anthony Juarez homicide August 15, 2020

12/20 Arrest Made, Jose Luis Salazar, 26, identified as killer of Juarez by DNA evidence

In Hollister Salazar had attempted to murder his father in August, so he had been in San Benito County Jail, I guess awaiting trial.

AIK, DA might compromise some on Attempted Murder, but with Murder 1, if they have the evidence they will not compromise. So this will probably go to trial and more will likely come out.

My interest in this is a such. Rumors have been circulating about this case, about the amount of blood in the crime scene, about the killing having been hiding in Modesto, and about a blue Toyota which was torched on a road leading to the garbage dump to hide evidence.

If this is not just speculation than this was originating with people who knew who the killer was. Or at least they thought they knew.

Did they disclose what they knew to police?

Supposedly a civilian witness, but might they have been an accomplice. And talk of a female accomplice.

Pitbull Puppies, LOL!

My neighbor has these. The mother was sent to visit and stay there. When I first saw her and the pups, they were about 4 weeks old. There were 5 of them, and they were always in a pile. One of them though liked to growl at me.

Only one, the lightest color was male. And they were real small, like just a few pounds.

Now the mother has been sent back to the original owner, and with the male and one of the females. My neighbor has three of the females. And now they have got to be about 2.5x longer and about 8x heavier. They are really rambunctious. Twice not they have broken in on me. And the one that liked to growl at me is now the smallest, but she like to get into my laundry and try to run off with my dirty socks.

They have gotten better though about "bite restraint". They have very sharp teeth, and they were excessive.

They have sharp claws too. Not as sharp as a cat's, but still sharper than I have found on dogs before. I think it is because they are still small. Maybe not as sharp today.

I have installed some puppy protection to keep them out today.

These are a Pitbull-Shepard Mix.

Fuck San Jose Ape, this is a long fucking thread!

Anyway, there is a poster claiming to be a goat you fuck. I don’t believe him. Now, don’t get me wrong, you’re inferior to the ricks. But the goat just seems off and I have - as a rick - concluded that you are insane but harmless to goats. I think you should engage in a calm dialog with the likely suspects for trolling you. Think about it - in your heart you know the source of trolling.

And once you ID the troll, troll that fucker right back! It’s what you’ll do if you have self respect.

Scuttle! Scuttle! Scuttle!

The pitbulls tried to get through my puppy proofing three times.

As I was leaving they tried to get in and with two of them I had to pick them up to remove them.

When I first saw them they were little more than handfuls. Now they have got to be 10x as heavy. They are fun, but they get into stuff you don't want them into and they knock stuff over.

The one what had liked to growl at me is the most rambunctious. I was concerned about her growling because at that time the mother was around.

Now this one, turning out smaller than the others, does not growl, but she is the most playful and the most mischievious.

SJG

Visited by the pitbulls again. They knocked down my puppy proofing. Part the problem is a gate which doesn't really fit anymore. So I had put up boards to keep them out.

But they got in, jumping all over everything. The owner told me to keep them away from my face, as they have drawn blood with their teeth and claws. I already knew this and I do protect my face.

Them going after my dirty laundry. Two pitbulls having a tug of war with my socks, as I am trying to get them back. LOL.

Puppy Proofing 2.0 was effective. No Pitbull incursions. But I still got up early and did some outside clearing, and I got to visit them.

The three of them were gnawing on a big geranium plant, going right to where the largest limbs broke away. LOL

The owner says that all they do every day is eat, sleep, shit, and fight. I see this.

When I first saw them they were each little more than a handful. And this tan one liked to growl at me. I was concerned about this because the mother was saying there then.

But this tan one has turned out to be the most rambunctious, the quickest to go after my socks, and the first one to escape from pens. She seems now to be bit smaller and to look different from the others.

No two are identical, they have different fur color and patterns. But this small tan one some people think is by a different father. That can be with multiple zygote births.

This happened 2 months ago. Commotion around 10pm in the area. Finally went outside to see what had happened.

Turns out a much loved neighbor had had a bicycle accident, and he really bashed up his face.

I tried to check to see how he was doing. The amount of blood on his face was ghoulish. And same for his swelling check bone. But he was up and walking around.

It was disturbing though.

He said, "I want my cat back."

Seems that his lady friend had commandeered his cat and was pacing around with it.

One neighbor was getting hysterical and speaking in hyperbole.

We got the paramedics out to him and he was off.

Got back by taxi cab the next morning . He still looked bad. Purple bruising even on his eyelid.

But they had done lots of stitches under his chin.

Some suggested that it could have been a motorcycle accident but maybe there was a problem with licensing and registration, and they didn't want LE to look into it. So they said it was a bicycle. That is possible.

Doctors told him to come back later for reconstructive surgery on his cheek bone. But he did go in again for a spider bite and they told him that he would not need reconstructive surgery, nothing broken.

THey gave him big injections in both legs, steroids, to make his facial swelling go down. Never heard of that before.

He is fine now.

SJG

Last night I got home late and had to bring some stuff in. And yes, that gave the Pitbulls a chance to get in. I got them out eventually and I made sure they didn't make off with anything.

But his morning after them barking and whimpering, I had to come out and load some stuff up again, and yeah, the got in and they did try to make off with some stuff. They really are a handful.

My neighbor says that his wife was a dog trainer and so he knows how to do it. He says dog training has begun. I'll believe it when I see it.

Having to load up some stuff in the morning, and again the pitbulls got in, three of them. Can't try to shove them out, that just makes them roll on to their backs. Only way is to pick them up, which is not that easy.

By the time I had gotten them all out, they had run off with these plastic dishes I was going to set up for them, outside, as water dishes. And you know what, they had punctured both dishes.

They punctured an unopened aluminum beer can of my neighbors.

Then also some one was calling out to my neighbor, "The dogs are eating magots."

They had gotten into some pizza in the garbage.

Neighbor says he has to worm them. I think that means a big nasty pill. Not sure if they have worms though.

Nonstop with those three!

SJG, great thread! Thanks for giving us that insight into some of your personal life and those dogs. Some people will likely use the thread as evidence of you being into fucking dogs, but remember to ignore them and keep moving forward. These people are trembling in their trousers, and we know they would never dare approach you in F2F given your commando training and ability to sew their asshole shut with ease. Some people only talk trash online, like keyboard kowards. Pathetic!

Trying to give away 3 Pitbull puppies, talked to so many people.

My neighbor was reckless in letting the 5 of them get dumped on him. Two have been placed, with the family which owns the mother. But he still has 3 and he needs to unload them. I don't want them to go to the pound.

Most people that live in houses seem to have dogs. Some say they are on their last dog. Others say they are in between dogs. Others say they don't have room or can't afford them. But I know others raise Pitbulls and sell them.

Still looking to give at least one away now as they are hard for my neighbor, moving out and planning to live in his motorhome. It makes me really thing. He is a good guy.

Many people have dogs, and they get them somewhere. These dogs are super nice. They just want someone to play with them all day long, so they will get exhausted and then fall asleep.

SJG, with all this talk of dogs and puppies I am worried the keyboard kowards and trembling trousers may start accusing you of fucking dogs! I have seen on other threads, some people were claiming you fucked goats. Crazy! Those keyboard kowards wouldn’t dare say those nasty things to you F2F. They can’t even bypass your firewall, they wouldn’t dare

The prospects of having to let go of the 3 Pitbull puppies seems to be getting my friend depressed. He has moved out of his place and is now in his motorhome. I think the care for them, and the prospects really weighs on him.

I had been helping by asking people if they want a puppy. Someone made flyers for us to put up.

Some have advised that the Humane Society is better. They give the dogs their shots and worming and spaying or neutering for free. And they really do try to place them with their web site. This is from someone who has volunteered for Humane Society.

I have an emotional attachment to them, but it has limits. My friend has cared for them intensely for the last three months.

I feel a tendency to scold him for having accepted them in the first place. But I restrain myself as I know that would accomplish nothing. Of the three, two were supposed to be going to other people. My friend was just supposed to be getting one of them.

But these people have pulled back.

I wish we just knew people who could take them, but I don't.

I can see why spaying and neutering required today.

No one has done anything wrong, and the Humane Society really does try to place them. I can't take them.

To me it seems like how I had to remove my wife, cut her loose. Just the way it is when she would never let their be partnership and instead insisted on a life based on seeking approval from her friends and family. I know she now deeply regrets this stubbornness of hers, but it is all water under the bridge at this point and the future remains unknown.

So the fate of these 3 pitbull puppies had been grating on me.

But my friend now has two people lined up to take one each. He has known them for a long time and they are local. So the dogs will be able to visit.

That is idea.

So he has asked me to hold up on putting up signs, and even on asking people f2f, "How would you like a puppy?"

So two are taken care of and he will be keeping one which is fine for him. The other original two are also placed.

So I feel a lot better.

And I got lot of info from another friend, a dog expert who has pedigree Akitas.

With this latest one she was on a waiting list for 18 months. Still a puppy at 10 months, she is 90lbs. The whole family drove to WA to pick her up at 7 months. google.com

So I feel much better about the 3 Pitbulls.

Is there some dog illness, fromos, or fromo, or something? Gotten by eating dead animals?

What To Do If Your Dog Eats a Dead Animal

One Pitbull is sick now.

avma.org

Here, it is probably this: Canine parvovirus ("parvo")

Parvo is caused by the canine parvovirus type 2. The virus is very contagious and attacks the gastrointestinal system, causing fever, vomiting and severe, often bloody, diarrhea. It is spread by direct contact between dogs as well as by contaminated stool, surfaces, bowls, collars, leashes, equipment, and the hands and clothing of people. It can also survive in the soil for years, making the virus hard to kill. Treating parvo can be very expensive and many dogs die from parvo despite intensive treatment.

Fortunately, there is a vaccine for parvo. It is considered a "core" vaccine and is recommended for every dog.

It can also survive in the soil for years, making the virus hard to kill. Treating parvo can be very expensive and many dogs die from parvo despite intensive treatment.

ONly emerged in the late 1978.

Pitbulls and other black and tan dogs are especially susceptible. It is similar to a cat virus.

Can get into foxes and skunks too, and the dog version can get into cats, and vice versa.

Very hard to treat, hard for the dog to survive.

Infection of the fetus This type of infection can occur when a pregnant female dog is infected with CPV2. The adult may develop immunity with little or no clinical signs of disease. The virus may have already crossed the placenta to infect the fetus. This can lead to several abnormalities. In mild to moderate cases the pups can be born with neurological abnormalities such as cerebellar hypoplasia.[22]

en.wikipedia.org

" Prevention is the only way to ensure that a puppy or dog remains healthy because the disease is extremely virulent and contagious. Appropriate vaccination should be performed starting at 7–8 weeks of age, with a booster given every 3–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks of age. Pregnant mothers should not be vaccinated as it will abort the puppies and could make the mother extremely sick. The virus is extremely hardy and has been found to survive in feces and other organic material such as soil for up to 1 year. It survives in extremely low and high temperatures. The only household disinfectant that kills the virus is bleach.[3] The dilute bleach solution needs to be in a 1:10 ratio to disinfect and kill parvovirus.

Puppies are generally vaccinated in a series of doses, extending from the earliest time that the immunity derived from the mother wears off until after that passive immunity is definitely gone.[29] Older puppies (16 weeks or older) are given 3 vaccinations 3 to 4 weeks apart.[18] The duration of immunity of vaccines for CPV2 has been tested for all major vaccine manufacturers in the United States and has been found to be at least three years after the initial puppy series and a booster 1 year later.[30]

A dog that successfully recovers from CPV2 generally remains contagious for up to three weeks, but it is possible they may remain contagious for up to six. Ongoing infection risk is primarily from fecal contamination of the environment due to the virus's ability to survive many months in the environment. Neighbours and family members with dogs should be notified of infected animals so that they can ensure that their dogs are vaccinated or tested for immunity. A modified live vaccine may confer protection in 3 to 5 days; the contagious individual should remain in quarantine until other animals are protected.[31] '

Jan 6th Hearings, LIVE youtube.com

Countries of the largest Area:

Now this disagreement started with a guy from Canada who insisted that Canada was larger than the United States. I told him that he was wrong, and that it just looks larger because of the Mercator Map projection. He did not agree.

As I learned in school the largest countries by area were:

1. Soviet Union
2. China
3. United States
4. Canada

Now the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, and even then it was losing the 3 Baltic States.

Okay so I look this up on Wikipedia and I find:

Soviet Union (ended 1991) 8,649,500 sqmi

Russian Federation 6,601,670 sqmi

China 3,705,407 sqmi

United States, including Alaska 3,796,742 sqmi

Alaska 663,268 sqmi

Canada 3,855,100 sqmi

But the above numbers are total area. If you include only land, then the United States is smaller than China. The United States includes much of the 5 Great Lakes, and that makes the difference.

And if you include only land, the the United States is larger than Canada. Canada has some of the Great Lakes, but it also has that huge Hudson Bay.

en.wikipedia.org

SJG

Jane School of Rock youtube.com

So just to clarify, the Russian Federation is not as big as the Old Soviet Union, but it still by far the largest country in the world.

Turns out that China, United States, and Canada are not that much different in size.

Now this is the United States including Alaska, which is huge.

If you go by total area the ranking is:

1. Russian Federation
2. Canada
3. United States
4. China

But this is because of the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay.

If you go by just land, the the ranking is

1. Russian Federation
2. China
3. United States
4. Canada
