A Brief Word About The Word Brilliance

Much has been made about the so-called “brilliance” of Karl Rove by the media and representatives of the political parties. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he is not “brilliant”.
“Brilliant”? Compared to who? Compared to the box of mud that he positioned to be appointed our president? Compared to the campaign managers and leaders of the Dems, who seem to be out maneuvered time and again by Rovian smear tactics and the simplicity of the bigoted message of the right? Maybe.
However, I would use the word to describe certain scientists, chemists, mathematicians, painters, filmmakers, composers, writers and so forth. You know, the kind of people the neocons and the religious right dismiss and attack because their research, creations and assertions threaten their narrow minded and selfish views of the world.
Political strategists like Rove are cunning criminals, hardly “brilliant” minds. It is simply an improper use of the word when it is applied anywhere near their mean spirited, poisonous, deceitful, little names.

Cannabis Prosecution = Anti-Christ

Anyone with intelligence knows that the ‘drug war’ is expensive, endless and fraught with inconsistencies. Anyone with any sort of enlightenment knows that the ‘drug war’ is completely misguided and a waste of fiscal and human resources. But, did you know that the ‘drug war’, specifically the persecution of cannabis users, is actually in the most fundamentally and the most profound way, Anti-Christ?
In Exodus, there are instructions given for building the tent that God stays in, the Tabernacle. Further instructions are given for the particular incense to be burned in the Tabernacle. The ingredients of the incense are myrrh, cinnamon and ‘fragrant cane’. The Hebrew words translated ‘fragrant kane’ are ‘kanneh bosm’. ‘Kanneh bos’ is the singular form. In another quote from Exodus 30:22-3, “Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Also take for yourself quality spices--five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon, two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane."
Alright, so let’s flash forward to the New Testament and to the truly interesting part. ‘Christians’ means ‘The Anointed Ones’. The early Christians were talking about a literal anointing by oil. The ‘chrism’(holy oil) used for baptism practiced by early Christians is the reason for their name and the reason ‘the Christ’ has his name. The oil was made from ‘kanneh bos’. From the Gospel of Philip-“For the Father anointed the Son, and the Son anointed the apostles, and the apostles anointed us. He who has been anointed possesses everything. He possesses the resurrection, the light, the cross, the Holy Spirit. The Father gave him this in the bridal chamber; he merely accepted (the gift). The Father was in the Son and the Son in the Father. This is the Kingdom of Heaven." This passage shows the belief in the divinity of the holy oil and indeed shows that the oil was the Kingdom of Heaven.
It gets even more interesting. Jesus, ‘the Christ’, after being anointed by John the Baptist, sees visions and starts down the road that becomes his destiny. He anoints his apostles and the apostles in turn anoint others and so on. Jesus healed sinners (those with illnesses) by anointing them (baptizing them by pouring oil over their heads or by treating skin and arthritic conditions and so on by administering this same holy oil). Early Christians did not have advanced science and understood illness as an affliction of sin. As in most ancient cultures, the medicine man was also the spiritual man for the early Christians. Jesus was a savior because he distributed a therapeutic holy oil and covered everyone’s sins (wounds).
Jesus became ‘the Christ’ because of the oil. Christians became ‘The Anointed Ones’ because of the oil. The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed this holy oil. The medicinal and spiritual value of this holy oil is well known even today, although people smoke it now and it’s illegal and demonized by the Christians who owe their beliefs, their Savior and their collective faith to this hallucinogen we now call, cannabis (kanneh bos).
“And now”, to quote Paul Harvey, “you know the rest of the story.”

(This is a relatively minor story compared with all of the other anti-American and anti-human acts of the ruling right, but it’s worth stating the truth, since the white wash and the under the rug sweep is almost completed by the power base and their minions.)

Dead Eye Dick’s Deferred Again

Dick and Harry went down to south Texas to kill wing-clipped, farm bread birds, scared up by ranch hands. They drove in a car with two women (not their wives) to locations predetermined to contain these easy kills.
Dick and Harry and the ladies go to a picnic earlier in the day and drink ‘one beer’. Dick and Harry don’t have the necessary permits for the slaughter, those seem to be just silly rules for commoners. After Dick hears a rustle in the bush, he fires and shoots Harry in the face. He fails to look first, this is standard operating procedure for Dick. He is a lot closer than he claims. Dick then uses the secret service to escort him away from the scene and away from local law enforcement, so that his drinking won’t be discovered and disclosed.
After 18 hours the White House is forced to confirm the story. By this time, Dick’s blood alcohol level is ok. Two days later, Dick speaks to the press (well, more accurately, Brit Hume spoon feeds Dick easy questions on GOP ‘News’ (better known by its common name, FOX ‘News’).
The official line is that, it is Harry’s fault for not letting Dick know that he was standing in front of him and that besides, these things happen all the time. Why is the liberal press making such a big deal out of it? As a matter of truth, there were 1.1 million hunting licenses issued last year in Texas and only 36 accidents.
After a minor heart attack, Harry is released from the hospital and apologizes to Dick for the inconvenience. Harry is a good soldier.
This seems to do the trick for Dick, because their King, George (also a cowboy and a fighter pilot), accepts Dick’s explanation completely.
Local law enforcement closes the case even though they never interview Dick and there are discrepancies in the stories from the hunting ‘party’.
Dead Eye Dick is now back at work, shooting America and the world in the face and saying, “go fuck yourself”.
By the way, I believe the worst day of Dick’s life was probably the day his fourth deferment from military service in Vietnam didn’t immediately come through as planned. Eventually, it did come through, as did the fifth deferment, and Dick never had to become a professional shooter. Well, that is until recently, when he ordered thousands of our young people to die and be maimed in his neocon/business war. He gets a deferred salary from Halliburton for his service in this war.
