Western New Year & Christianity nothing more than continuation of ancient Grain King sacrifice ritual!

01 January 2014 (04:34 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Safar 1435/11 Dey 1392/01 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

The western new year has arrived.  A common graphical depiction is that of old Father Time turning things over to a baby New Year.  This is nothing more than the most ancient Grain King sacrifice ritual.

Thousands of years ago small agricultural societies would actually sacrifice their king (today we would call those ancient kings, village elders), then bury him as a piece of grain to ensure a good crop for the New Year.  A new young king was appointed for the rest of the year.

Meat eating societies also had a similar ritual.  The Japanese Ainu would make offerings to the head of the bear they killed, in fact the dead bear’s head sat at the head of the tribe’s feast hall.  North American’s would worship the salmon and buffalo.  The myths basically say the people were starving, then god, or a god, would appear and offer to sacrifice itself in order to save the people. In return the people had to honor and remember the god.

The Americans also had a Grain King myth about Maize.  A people were starving, god appeared in the form of a man and told the virgin princess to cut off his head and bury it.  The buried head instantly grew into a life saving corn stalk that provided enough grain to feed the people!

In Meso America, one story says the Earth was being destroyed tortuously.  A god felt sorry for the Humans on the Earth and offered to sacrifice itself to save them.  The Sun became the everlasting symbol of the god’s blood covenant to bring salvation to the Humans.  However (there’s always a catch), in return the Humans had to remember and rejuvenate that god, typically with Human blood.

Around the World the honoring of such god sacrifice took many forms from simple dance rituals or prayers, to animal/human sacrifice.  (remember the story of Cain and Able; god wasn’t impressed with the farmer brother who offered the sacrifice of his crops, god was pleased only with the animal sacrifice of the hunter/herder brother: “The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.”-Genesis 4:4-5 New International Version)

It is also interesting to note that the more densely populated a society was, the more likely they believed in such religious crap!  This is why the Middle East is the considered the birth place of the World’s biggest religions.  Thousands of years ago the Middle East (Fertile Crescent) was literally the New York City of the ancient World.

The western New Year is based on the Catholic created Gregorian calendar system.  It is a solar calender, and to be sure there were other solar calender systems before it came along.  The Gregorian system modified the Julian system in Gregorian year 1582, 15-hundred years after Jesus of Nazareth died (this is one of many reasons why today’s western Christian holiday celebrations are incorrect, like Jesus being born in December when the Bible clearly states his parents went to Jerusalem/Al Quds for the census, which took place during summer).

The Bible is clever in that whom ever came up with it knew how to combine the agricultural and meat eater sacrifice rituals, to trick as many people as possible.  Jesus of Nazareth became the god that saves the starving people by sacrificing himself.

This motif appears in several different versions in the Bible’s New Testament:  Jesus feeds a crap load of people with only a few fish (meat eaters) and few loaves of bread (Grain King).  Jesus turns water into wine (Grain King).  Jesus commands his followers to “drink my blood” and “eat my flesh”!

Holy cannibalism Batman! This is a clear human sacrifice motif.  And don’t think human sacrifice didn’t place at the Temple of David (aka Second Temple, before that, Temple of Solomon/First Temple), it did!   The Romans destroyed the Temple in the approximate Gregorian year 70AD (about 76 years after Jesus was born, he was actually born about the year 7BC), even Titus Flavius Josephus (a Jewish-Roman scholar) implies the destruction of the Temple was god’s punishment for past evils: “…for that House, God had for certain long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come…”-The Wars of the Jews 6.4.5 249-253  (now realize the fundamentalist Jews want to bring back the Temple and all its ancient bloody rituals)

The Bible wasn’t written until several hundred years after Jesus of Nazareth died!  The compilations of the New (Christian) Testament began in the 4th Century after his death.  The compilations of the Old (Hebrew) Testament began even later in the 9th Century AD!  Whomever was behind the creation of the Bible was genius, because not only does Jesus cover the bloody sacrifice ritual by commanding his followers to eat and drink him, but it combines both Grain King and meat eater motifs: The wine and bread represent the Grain King, but they in turn represent the meat (blood and flesh) of Jesus! (Cain and Abel united!)

(the Bible has been re-edited and translated many times since its creation, with dozens of version available, which might explain why so many ‘christians’ disagree with each other, as they did before the Bible was compiled)

When are the commoner masses going to wake up to this elitist control freak scam? Happy New Year!

Pakistani earthquake causes islands and fire to rise from the Sea! The origin of fire worshiping? Moses high on gas, not God?

25 September 2013 (14:43 UTC-07 Tango)/20 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/03 Mehr 1391/21 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

In Baluchistan Province, there juts out into the Arabian Sea a free trade port called Gwadar.  About 600 meters (1968 feet) away a new island emerged, within 30 minutes of yesterday’s 7.8 magnitude quake.

Along with the island fire is bursting forth, explorers found lots of dead fish.

The island is 60 meters (196.8 feet) long and 20 meters (65.6 feet) above water level at its highest point.  Explorers said there are lots of dead fish floating around the island, and they smelled methane bubbling up from the sea.  They set it on fire to be sure it was gas, and it was.

Locals say this has happened before, right after a big earthquake in 1960.  The island in that quake was further to the east.  Officials with Pakistan’s National Institute of Oceanography say yesterday’s island creation is the fourth since 1945.   However, these islands are temporary and end up eroding back into the sea, because they’re basically balls of mud.

Pakistan is part of the Indian subcontinent, which is smashing up against the Asian continent.  The ongoing slow impact of the continents create the Himalayas.

Pakistani scientists revealed that the impact of the two continents is also releasing untold amounts of natural gas, from massive deposits underground.

This could explain the origins of the fire worshiping religions, such as Zoroastrianism and some Hindi religions.  Still today, Hindus make a pilgrimage to a mud volcano called Chandragup.  It’s fueled by natural gas.  A nearby cave is also a holy site, where the immortal flame burns.

I recently saw a travel show, which revealed that the eternal flame at a Zoroastrian fire temple, in Pakistan, was built over a natural gas vent.

Archaeologists think the religion of fire worship, begun by Indo-Iranians several thousands of years ago, is also the source for the idea of cremating the dead.

Zoroastrians don’t actually worship fire as ‘god’, but see it as a symbol of god’s purity.  Hindi beliefs say fire is the mediator between people and gods.  Let’s not forget the Hebrews, who’s leader Moses conversed with god, but only through a burning bush.

This brings me to question Moses.  He was probably high on the natural gas escaping from a vent on the mountain, then something caused the gas to ignite (maybe Moses trying to start a camp fire?).

This brings me to the Oracles (fortune tellers) of ancient Greece.  The most accurate oracles lived in caves.  Researchers now believe these caves were natural gas vents, and that the women were high on gas (hence they were ‘full of hot air’).

The oracle at Delphi must’ve known something was going on in the cave, because she limited her fortune telling to once every seven days.  Was the vent gassing off only once per week?

Isn’t the origin of religion funny?  (like laughing gas, hippy-crack aka nitrous oxide)  Too bad those ancient people didn’t think of bottling up that natural gas and selling it for home and commercial use, instead of thinking it was god talking to them!  Still, it doesn’t ‘splain why some of those Greek Oracles were so accurate in their predictions, unless certain types of natural gas are the secret ingredient used to connect your mind to the space time continuum, thus  revealing the future?

World War 3: Proof War on Terror is a religious war; U.S. led force commit yet more acts of desecration, and say Oooops We Didn’t Know

“We are deeply concerned about the report of Qur’an or religious materials being damaged, and will get to the bottom of what actually happened.”-Lieutenant Lauren Rago, ISAF

Yet again, U.S. led forces have committed acts of desecration in Afghanistan, this time burning unknown numbers of Qur’ans.  A French photographer reported it, after Afghans working at the Bagram Airfield showed him evidence of the desecration.  Local officials also reported it to the Associated Press.

The sorry ass lying U.S. Marine Corps General, John Allen, gave the now typical response: “These are very, very isolated incidents. We’ve been here a long time. We’ve been shoulder to shoulder with the Afghans for a long time. We’ve been dying alongside the Afghans for a long time because we believe in them. We believe in their country. We want to have every opportunity to give them a bright future.”

Isolated case my ass!!! These “isolated” cases of desecration have been taking place every year since the damn war on terror started in 2001!  Not just in Afghanistan, but in Iraq, and even here in the United States!

In Afghanistan alone, there have been several cases of U.S. forces desecrating bodies of Afghans (which, if I remember my Army FMs correctly, is a violation of UCMJ), including the recent case in which the video was actually posted on the internet.  Then there’s the 2009 case of Qur’ans being burned in Afghanistan. Then the 2010 Afghan riots caused by the false christian pastor in Florida, who wanted to burn Qur’ans.

In 2011, the same false christian carried out his threat, causing widespread protests in Afghanistan leading to the deaths of 30 people, including some UN workers.

Bagram Airfield has been a sore spot for both Afghans and U.S. forces. I suspect that things are going to really heat up now!  Reports say more than 500 Afghans are protesting around the base, throwing fire bombs and chanting “Death to America” and “We don’t want you anymore”.

See pics of Afghans attacking Bagram with rocks and sling shots, while U.S. troops shoot back with guns, here.

The ignoramus USMC General John Allen, said: “Something like this just cannot happen again.”

Yeah, we’ve been telling the Afghans that for more than tens years now!

Conservative Reganomics Economist says Republican supporters are Stupid when it comes to Taxes and the Economy

Bruce Bartlett, former Reagan and Bush Sr official, has published a new book called The Benefit and the Burden: Tax Reform – Why We Need It and What It Will Take.  But guess what? He says the wealthy have been getting huge tax cuts for decades, and that’s part of what put the federal government into record debt!

He also says, in an interview with Bill Moyers, that right wing Republicans are stupid when it comes to understanding how much taxes they really pay, and how taxes really work:  “Back when the Tea Party first came into existence, back in 2009 they had a big demonstration in Washington. And we went around and we surveyed…You know, questions of just straight factual knowledge, not opinion. And it turned out that these people all thought taxes were vastly higher than they really are, and that they were paying exorbitantly high tax rates that would be impossible for them to pay.”

Bartlett also says the right wingers are stupid religious nuts: “…it’s very much like religion. And I think that it’s not a surprise that so many very, you know, devout Christians are a part of the Republican Party and accept a lot of this. Because the nature of deep religious belief is faith, which means you accept things for which there is no proof. And so, I think it’s not that hard to shift that faith over to believe …That if you cut taxes, revenues will go up…That all tax cuts are good and all spending cuts are good, and all government is bad.”

He blames Right Wing radio and Fox News: “You hear the same idea over and over again. Or you can call it propaganda if you like. It’s broadly believed and people just keep saying these things all the time, that ‘Rich people create jobs.’ ‘Yes, rich people create jobs.’ ‘They’re motivated primarily by taxation.’ ‘Yes, they’re motivated by taxation.’ ‘We must cut their taxes.’ ‘Yes, we must cut their taxes.’”

“Year after year after year of people watching Fox News and listening to talk radio, had conditioned them in advance to believe that the government is responsible for all of our problems.”

Bartlett says once enough stupid Tea Party members realize it’s their own Republican officials who are doing them in, they’ll Join the Occupy Movement: “…once they start to realize that the Republicans really do want to not just cut Medicare, but essentially abolish it, you know, I just think those people are not going to be part of the Tea Party. They’re going to be over with the Occupy Wall Street.”

Red Horse: Yet another study proves that stupid people become Right Wing Religious Republican NAZI Fascists, bad news considering how many people have been dumbed down in the U.S.

“Reality is complicated and messy…Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies.”-Brian Nosek, University of Virginia

Researchers at the Canadian Brock University confirm what past studies have implied; that a society with an overall low intelligence results in the rise of simplistic religio-fascist idealism!

“…research has revealed that individuals who more strongly endorse social conservatism have greater cognitive rigidity, less cognitive flexibility and lower integrative complexity [complicated way of saying they are mentally retarded!]. Socially conservative individuals also perform less well than liberals on standardized ability tests.”-Gordon Hodson, lead researcher

The Canadian researchers looked at two detailed studies done in the United Kingdom. Those studies followed children into adulthood, one study began in 1958, the other in 1970.  They tested verbal and nonverbal intelligence, and four cognitive abilities.  The results showed that children with low IQs leaned towards right wing religio-fascism in adulthood.

The Canadian researchers concluded that right wing extremism is the result of low intelligence, not just bad economies.

Right wing dummies also self-segregate themselves adding to their downward spiral into extremism: “This finding is consistent with recent research demonstrating that intergroup contact is mentally challenging and cognitively draining…[another complicated/academic way to say right wingers are mentally retarded]“-Gordon Hodson, lead researcher

Another study was done in the United States, and showed that people with low levels of abstract reasoning tended to be racists and homophobics.

The researchers admit their conclusions are not conclusive, as they are looking at averages: “There are multiple examples of very bright conservatives and not-so-bright liberals, and many examples of very principled conservatives and very intolerant liberals.”-Gordon Hodson, lead researcher

But it’s clear, on average the people with low intelligence make up the most intolerant part of a society.

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.

NAZI-land: If you think SOPA is bad check out what is already happening in U.S. courts, it’s called ‘rogue website lawsuits’ and they can take all your money without you ever showing up in court! PayPal involved

“Wow!”-Venkat Balasubramani, internet tech lawyer

“…the court is ordering the full transfer not just of websites, but of any funds being sent to a website.”-Eric Goldman, associate professor of law at Santa Clara University

The proposed Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, has a lot of web users concerned, but what about what’s already taking place in U.S. Federal and State courts?  It can be called ‘rogue website/domain lawsuits’ and does not involve any true due process for those accused.  They can seize your domain name/website and any funds they claim is associated with it!

In most cases only the attorney’s for the accuser show up in court: “Nobody has showed up in any of these cases to contest his motions in court.”-Eric Goldman, associate professor of law at Santa Clara University

Attorney Eric Goldman has been following the big three cases, involving Chanel, True Religion clothing and Philip Morris.  They all claim that thousands of websites/domains are ripping them off by offering “counterfeit” products or services.  The problem is that the courts are hearing the cases without any response from those accused.

Something else that Goldman noticed is that in cases brought by Chanel and Philip Morris, only one attorney is being used; Stephen Gaffigan from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

It appears True Religion is using a law firm called Greenberg Traurig.

In one Philip Morris case their only proof was a written statement from a private investigator saying he bought fake Philip Morris cigarettes off a such ‘n such website.

Many cases involve courts sealing documents, meaning the accused, or the public, can never see what’s in them: “For example; in the True Religion case, the entire action was sealed for a couple of weeks. Even without the seal, I don’t know how to find these ex parte rightsowner enforcement cases against foreign rogue websites other than laboriously reviewing every federal filing, having readers tip us off or serendipity.”-Eric Goldman, associate professor of law at Santa Clara University

The courts are ordering websites removed from Google and Yahoo, only to be ‘given’ to GoDaddy.  They also ordered Western Union to redirect customer payments to three individuals.  PayPal has also been forced to freeze at least 84 accounts.

These cases involve hundreds of websites/domains, and some of the cases specifically name Chinese individuals.  While they might have merit, the problem is that the courts have established the practice of rendering judgment without the accused having their day in court, or even allowing an appeal.
