Call me Korah (Craig) (Koreck, Korah)

The following blog describes how I am immersed in Torah, which is a command of the Bible.

Genesis Chapter 36:(5) and Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, that were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

I was born an Edomite.  Additionally, I belong to Haplogroup I, which is, according to the Jews of the Middle Ages, the Haplogroup of Edom.  For example, the Jews often depicted the rulers of Europe in the Middle Ages as Edom.  Like Edomites, I was wicked, but it wasn’t my fault.  Nowhere in Torah does it say that wickedness is the fault of the child.  However, when I was 21, I encountered Gd, and he spoke to me, and I repented.  When I repented, it was revealed to me that I had a dietary issue where it was that eating certain foods caused me to be wicked.  The test was performed by the Great Plains Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Greenblatt, and the results were that I had opiates that came from eating both gluten or casein, such that if I cut out these foods, my sense of myself as being a wicked person was removed.

(14) And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife; and she bore to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

As a youngster, Korah had a chief.

 (18) And these are the sons of Oholibamah Esau's wife: the chief of Jeush, the chief of Jalam, the chief of Korah. These are the chiefs that came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.

Exodus 6: (21) And the sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

Thus, Korah was a Cohenim.  I should note that after a few generations Edomites are permitted to be in the assembly of Jews.  My grandfather had become interested in being a Jew, and now as the generations of time have worn on, it is okay for me to be in an assembly of Jews.  For example, twice I attended service at Cape Cod Synagogue.  However, I feel Orthodox is a better denomination than Reform.  There is no reason for me to convert as, my family is Christian, though I am not Christian, such that I could not hope to have a Jewish child, because Jewishness is matrilineal.

First Chronicles Chapter 6:(3) And the sons of Kohath were Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.

Korah had sons that went to Egypt, where sons are not necessarily genetic, but are raised by a father.

(24) And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.

Numbers Chapter 16 describes the rebellion of Korah against Moses.

As a result:

(32) And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

Many died as a result of what happened to Korah.  I believe that my leaving of New Jersey after having committed idolatry, as the Torah says my father would turn my head away such that I believed in a false G-d, and I did though I realized my mistake in having committed idolatry, such that I moved to a new locality and I repented.  It was amazing that I lived after calling 9-11.  I am suspicious that my having committed idolatry and calling 9-11  resulted in the 9/11 terrorism.  However, I am not proud of that incident, and wish that 9/11 never happened.  However, when I was sick and called 9-11, I was glad that G-d visited me, and I immediately repented from my idolatry and worshiped YHVH, who spoke to me as I AM. 

Numbers 17:(14) Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.

However, the sons of Korah, the ones that where loyal to him as a father did not die. 

Numbers 26: (11) Notwithstanding the sons of Korah died not.

Korah becomes a Levitical clan, where Levites are spread out throughout the world.

Numbers 26:(58) These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. And Kohath begot Amram.

Many great songs are associable with the Korahites.

Psalms Chapter 42, Psalms Chapter 44, Psalms Chapter 45, Psalms Chapter 46, Psalms Chapter 47, Psalms Chapter 48, Psalms Chapter 49, Psalms Chapter 84, Psalms Chapter 85, Psalms Chapter 87, Psalms Chapter 88, 

Science, Medicine and Religion: A Theory as To Why So Many Scientists Are Atheists

Let’s get one things straight, this is not at all to say that scientists are dumb.  In fact, in academia I believe that despite the high amount of atheists that these scientists and other folk with Ph. D’s.  Science is probably the discipline where among its practitioners one will find the greatest percentage of atheists.  However, stop right there because I don’t believe being a parrot of those cloaked in lab coats will result in gaining intelligence.

So, where is it that science has gone wrong if there is in fact a Gd that cares about us, and a Gd that wants to see us repent?  The first error I believe folks make in disregarding the Bible is that they automatically assume that it doesn’t describe the way creation actually is.  Not until a scientist is willing to take the Torah seriously as a document that describes both the honky dory aspects of life as well as the extremely negative aspects of life, such as parents eating babies will a scientist or a doctor have their heart prepared to receive the Torah as a primary source for knowledge about creation.  By the way I don’t believe that Gd created creation in six 24 hour days, in fact that much seems impossible because the sun wasn’t created until the 4^th day, such that previous to that it would appear that dates and times become uncertain.

The crux of science and medicine including religion is that it is done without the doctor knowing about it.  The Talmud, which is Torah, tells us that if we are a healer, we should act as if Gd does not exist when healing!!!  Thus, in a way atheists are kind of doing it right when practicing their jobs.  They do not sit on their hands and wait for Gd to heal the person, and they are foolish for not having explored religion further by assuming this is what religionists would think is reasonable behavior for a doctor.

IMHO that right there is the most unknown aspect about religion that has led to academia being virtually furious toward religionists.  When it comes to religionists, it can often be said, “Don’t ask a fool his or her opinion for he or she will almost certainly disappoint you,” and I do understand that there are far more fools that are religionists, than there is that are doctors, but for scientists in academia, the one’s with 150 IQs etc, there is really no excuse for lack of knowledge.  It is crucial that this information be spread about how that when one is to operate, whether it is surgery or a science experiment, he or she is to act as if Gd does not exist, but also to be prepared for Gd to act upon the doctor such that the healing may be done.

The Greatest Command: To Love Gd or To Love One's Neighbor, Which Is It?

On the greatest command; I believe that it is to love your neighbor because this command is at the heart of every great religion.  Thus, I do not believe that the greatest command is to love the L-rd your Gd with all of your heart, strength, and mind.  Jesus was wrong.  Surely, we would have found world peace by now if Jesus were correct on this matter, but as we tick past another thousand years with no world peace, it only highlights that Jesus was incorrect.

If you ask folks of every religion about Gd, there would most likely be differing opinions and arguments, especially even among members of the same faith.  These arguments go nowhere, and are often heartfelt, despite that they are on the same subject.  On the issue of Gd, when it comes to various religions, the people of earth spin their wheels and get nowhere.  Surely, this should not be the focal point of religion.  The focal point should be ethics, and even the ethics about how to treat folks of other religions that believe in a different Gd that you believe in.

As Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Lydia said, when he was asked which is greater, to love God or your neighbor; this Rabbi said to love your neighbor because then you are loving the ones whom God loves.  He was correct.  The focus of religion should be ethics, including the ethics of faith.  However, if we can not get along despite the fact that we believe in Gd, especially over issues such as the name of Gd, then all of our faith is practically for nothing.  

We are put here on earth for a specific reason.  That reason is our purpose.  That purpose according to my Bible is to act ethically to our neighbors for if we don't get along our faith is as nothing.

Rethinking women in the military

The military is desperately in need of people who will shoot, and will pull the trigger because despite training normal soldiers won't pull the trigger in a shoot to kill situation. These sociopaths join the military with the hope of being allowed to shoot just about anyone. With women in the military, I would expect that women, unless they are strong enough, would be likely prey for the military's most needed folks, the sociopaths.

Our military, and every other military in history hasn't treated women of conquered lands properly. Soldiers go to war and the boys club gets out of hand. And, if soldiers don't treat women of foreign lands correctly, which has always been an embarrassment to our military, as it has been for every military in history, why should we expect our women to be treated differently, especially since the one's most likely to mistreat our lady soldiers are our military's and every militaries', for that matter, most valuable resource, the sociopaths.

So the major problem is, if you remove the sociopaths who are or would be rapists, we would be left a military afraid to shoot strangers, and L-rd knows that is a weak military.

In consequence, most women should not be allowed to serve in the military. However, perhaps as a suggestion, we might have women that want to join to be given rigorous testing to see if they have enough strength that they could most likely avoid rape if a terrible situation presents itself.

One thing that I would like to make clear is that I do not think rape is okay. Rather, in order to avoid rapes, where rape is likely to be the same curse to the military as pedophilia is to the Catholic Church, we need to take steps of precaution. I don’t believe that males should be required to be celibate, anymore than I believe women should be allowed serve in the military. So, this represents a great change of thinking of mine, where I had originally and naively thought women, especially women of average strength for a woman, should be allowed to serve in the military.

A Question For the Rabbi; Can There Be Jewishness Without Moses and Aaron? Would There Have Been Jewishness If Not For Moses and Aaron?

The question: "I doubt that there is some sort of cosmic vibration that a Jewish mother's womb gives off that makes her offspring Jewish.
It seems that the vehicle for transmission of the Jewish message is patriarchal, the way Ethics of Our Fathers seems to indicate. For example, 1:1 "Moses received the Torah from Sinai and gave it over to Joshua. Joshua gave it over to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets gave it over to the Men of the Great Assembly..."

I was told by the Rabbi that while educational tradition is passed down by the father. The essence is passed on by the mother.


"The Torah explicitly forbids intermarriage. The source is in Deuteronomy 7:3-4,
You shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son, for he will cause your child to turn away from after Me and they will worship the gods of others." http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/108396/jewish/Intermarriage.htm
I personally admit to my audience. I have committed idolatry. I don't even necessarily think it was my fault, as I didn't know any better. Possibly, it was because my father instructed me in faithless science. Chemical imbalance caused me to be hyper-sexual for which my dad did turn my head to the wrong direction, suggesting masturbation is good. The Bible says however, "And, they will worship the gods of others," and that much does not describe me. I committed idolatry, but refrain from worship because I believe my idol to be horrible and that I would die if I believed in her. So, I fled. I moved much the same way where if someone has committed murder moves to a city of refuge, according to biblical command. When I committed idolatry, Hashem intervened and to His surprise I suddenly believed in the Gd of the Israel. My life has never been the same, as I have received both forgiveness and blessing from Hashem. The only hint that mom is Jewish is that she told me never to lie.

Live By Your Words, No Matter How Fantastic They Seem and Live to Be 1,000!!!

My reasoning for believing that I am the Messiah comes from sound Biblical reasoning.

March 25th, 2000 I was hospitalized for psychosis. When I saw the doctor, he had a yarmulke on, so I figure that he is Jewish, and for some reason, completely insanity, and not knowing what I was saying I stated that I am the Messiah. Since, then I have been unable to shake that belief, and the Bible says that is the correct thing to do, "You must fulfill what has crossed your lips and perform what you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God, having made the promise with your own mouth (Deuteronomy 23:24 JPS, others 23:23)

"Positive Commandment 94

Fulfilling Verbal Obligations

"That which issues from your lips you shall keep and perform"—Deuteronomy 23:24.

We are commanded to carry through that which we pledge to do [or not to do]."

http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/961490/jewish/Positive-Commandment-94.htm

Strangely, the pathway back to sanity has no been to apologize, and say that I am sorry for stating that I said I am the messiah.  In order to understand this, I must live by what I have said.  I have no intent on being a liar.  I don't even wish to be a superstar.  What I believe is that me, the messiah, is a secret to this world.  I don't seek crowds or popularity, merely the desire to impact this world in a positive way so that I may see this following verse fulfilled: Isaiah 65:20. "There shall no longer be from there a youth or an old man who will not fill his days, for the youth who is one hundred years old shall die, and the sinner who is one hundred years old shall be cursed.  http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15996"

The people of this generation frustrate me.  They say, I am 80, therefore I shall die at an old age.  However, the greatest generation lived to be much older than their grandparents generation.  To the peoples of earth I beseech you:  There once was a time in the middle ages and the dark ages of Europe where the life expectancy was somewhere between a mere 25 to 30 years old.  If you had told these people that it would be common to see folks live to be 80 they would have laughed.  Certainly, all but a very small minority would have believed that living to 80 is possible.  It is this way with our generation.  I need for people to give up on the idea of living to a 80 and then dying.  Believe me, when I say that one who dies at 80 is but a youth.  Who can identify how old folks will live to?  I beseech you that we too are possibly like lobsters, which are hypothetically immortal (John C. Guerin (2006). "Emerging area of aging research: long-lived animals with "negligible senescence"". Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 1019 (1): 518–520.doi:10.1196/annals.1297.096. PMID 15247078.).

Take Hold of Your Dreams

First, we must learn to control our actions. If we don't have any control over our actions we have no control over our character. However, there is more. For Gd's blessing we learn to control our thoughts. And, when we master thought, the final battleground becomes the battle to control our dreams, for when we control our dreams, we control our destiny.

To President Barrack Obama: Don't Let Syria Use Us

Barrack Obama is coming across as rather clueless with respect to Syria. Death count should be more important than whether or not chemical weapons were used. Secondly, who cares what kind of weapons where used? Weapons are weapons, I see no reason to distinguish between the type of weapon used and the way that should relate to our foreign policy, as one weapon that causes death is as another weapon that causes death. Really, the difference is only cosmetics. Additionally, I believe that if anyone should help Syria it should be another Muslim nation, as I have no desire for us to save a bunch of people, the Syrians, and then have them hate us for it, calling us infidels.

All Syria wants to do with us is to use us. Most likely, Syria has no desire ever to help us, but the converse it that they would probably want to terrorize us, if they had the means. The Bible says to help your neighbor if they are stuck in the mud, even if they are your enemy. However, why is it that the entire would looks to us, the USA for help. We have too many of our own problems to be able to help Syria. Someone other than the USA should help Syria because we can't be the life support system of the entire world.

Sorry Need to Post Corrections

Sorry Need to Post Corrections:
For the past several years I had thought the Hamilton clan was Scottish Highlanders, when in fact the Hamilton Clan is a Lowland clan.
I have tried to change what blogs that I found that had errors.  However, I suspect I have not found them all, and because I have posted so much to the internet, I probably will never fully be able to change all of my mistakes.

Very Sorry,

Ed Markey and Mike Sullivan for Senate 2013: Comment on Debate

After listening to Democrats and Republicans debating for Senator Kerry’s spot, I hope that either Ed Markey http://markey.house.gov/ or Mike Sullivan are elected for senate. Their competition is 2nd class for Senatorial positions.

I am mostly in favor of the democrat candidate, Markey, but would not be disappointed if Mike Sullivan won.

Watching how Sullivan's Republican candidates, his competitors, didn't bat an eyelash at the subject of gay marriage had me worried. I am in favor of allowing gay marriage, but I don't believe I could discuss the issue with such a straight face. You know the type of straight face that makes people want to laugh.  When I initially wrote this as a post to Facebook, I was giggling at Sullivan's Republican opponents' candidate talk, and would like the chance to laugh in the face of his current competition.

If I had to describe the Republican debate on the subject of gay marriage, it reminded me of a scene in the movie Dirty Work (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120654/).

In one scene of the movie, Norm MacDonald gets even with a mean employer who runs a movie theater by playing (so called) gay porn in the theater.  The beginning of the scene is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXQm9K9cjQ

I wouldn’t even know what gay porn is, as I have never seen it nor do I want to.  So, if you are gay and reading this, thank you for keeping the gay porn out of my search engine.

I'll never forget the tone of the words in Dirty Work, "Let's have sex with it," and thank goodness that they didn't show the porn. They just showed all the customers running out of the movie theater. That attitude of the gay porn tone of voice, which was so funny in Dirty Work is pretty much exactly the same voice these Republicans use in the debate.  It is worth a giggle.

The debate is available here: (the Democrats) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f41M6LUUils

And, (the Republicans),

That would be called dry humor.

Spring Is A Go – A Poem

Spring is a go

Baseball games are ah playin’

My mood is a’ liftin’  I am just sayin’

And, in all that we do

Spring has sprung through and through

Bollocks: Scientific and Relgious

It's good to know that I am a religionist who doesn't fall into any of these [major or minor] categories [completely].

I do however credit Gd with intelligence beyond intelligence, and thus, I do believe in intelligent design. I also believe in faith healing, as well as that curses can be efficacious. Thus, I do believe prayer can work. Likewise, I also believe in karma.

It is a little bit of everything many scientific folks call quackery.

What I find is that Dawkins, like a typical person with a doctoral degree has such desire to make dumb folk act like parrots. The doctoral degree is absurd because doctors present themselves as gods, meaning that Dawkins and other doctoral folk are taught to take the necessary measures to make regular folk submit to their way of life.

Science has a lot of bollocks too. [Many] scientists publish stuff in lesser journals in order to avoid greater scrutiny that would come from publishing in a better journal. And, this science bollocks is done just to get funding.

What about science bollocks? Peer reviews by people that haven't repeated the experiments, but somehow feel they know enough to comment on them, though the comments aren't recorded. What about the prevalence of admission that if someone finds a journal article he or she can't repeat, then they blame it on themselves, not even bothering to make note? Why aren't records kept on who is able to repeat experiment? Why is it such that if other people can't repeat the science bollocks a record is not kept of the amount of times the information in a journal article has failed to work?

If peer review isn't how I suggest it is, then please inform me. Peer review is done by your peers in science, but that is all. It is not a review of people that have repeated the experiment. In fact, many times the experiment is not even done, but it is published as if it were done. If it doesn't have error bars, then chances are it is just a theory, which someone may or may not be able to make a fact. Please inform me about the way science peer review works if you think I don't have it right.

Nicotene, Caffeine, Taurine, ect. Soda Pop

It is completely beyond me why I have yet to hear of a soda pop that uses nicotene. One would think that this method for adminstering nicotene would not only be affective, but also save lives. That is, I want to make beverages with nicotene in them.

Airplane flights would probably be much more pleasant for a good many of smokers. In fact, these drinks would probably help a good many of people quit smoking. Additionally, drinking beverages with nicotine in them would probably extend a good many of peoples lives. For example, they already know from research that people are more likely to live to be a 100 years old if they smoke, despite the fact that smoking should generally be thought of as a killer for the vast majority of people.

Do Animals Think That We Are Gds?

In a chatroom on AOL, a friend of mine posited that animals think we are Gds because they treat us like we are Gds.  I recently asked my wife the same question, and got a different answer.  She thought that animals are completely unable to conceive of the idea of Gd.  That much I imagine is probably true.  A creature needs to have a certain amount of smarts to conceive of activities worthy of a deity.

Frankly, I don’t think most humans are able to conceive of the idea of Gd.  Most humans are either to dumb, idol worshippers for the sake of popularity, and/or smart people jaded by their own abilities.

1.       With respect to people that just aren’t smart enough to faith, it is not that I do not believe that there vessel, meaning their body, is not permeated by holy Light, but it is that they simply do not have an IQ high enough.

That might sound small minded, but I have had a professional IQ assessment of my intelligence, and more than just knowing that my intelligence is superior, I know that others must not have been able to give correct answers to questions I thought most people knew the answers to.  Thus, because I know these answers, I am baffled by the prevalence of those unable to answer such simple questions, and that gives me the idea that animals, and some humans may not be intelligent enough to conceive of the idea of a Gd.  However, that is not the only command, as I will show that there are commands other than faith below.

2.       With respect to popularity and idol worshipping, this is something that Christians do.  Christianity suffers from the belief that Jesus is Gd (heaven forefend that this is the case, but nonetheless it is the case).  These idol worshippers are living long lives though because outside of idol worship many of them are good people, and Hashem only knows their heart when He visits them on their death bed, as it is said, “Gd visits the sick.”

I, myself, feel lucky that Hashem visited me when I was very sick, and not only that, I got hope that my condition could improve and it did.  I believe Hashem visits the sick because only when one is so weak and humble is he or she ready to receive the message of the L-rd in its fullest sense.  That is, I would expect most people would take such information lightly had these visits come during others times.

3.     With respect to intellectuals and the intelligent, and here mainly I am speaking of doctors, especially those whom are atheists, it only makes sense to me that because they heal and experiment with their very hands, as if Gd did not exist  that they actually come to believe the existence of Gd is not necessary.  This is because it is said to act as if Gd did not exist when healing, and not to send someone on their way with only a prayer if at all possible.

So coming back to cats.  I like feral cats.  I like to heal, and by their actions feral cats show that they believe in a cruel harsh existence far different from the well taken care of domestic cat.  Don’t get me wrong, it is not that I don’t like domesticated cats.  I hope that there is a warm and loving home for every domesticated cat, and I own two of them, and they, these kitties, continue giving and have given so much love.  However, there are many cats out there that only know of a cruel existence, and though perhaps there is no hope for the adult feral cats, meaning that love can’t pierce into their hardened hearts, I have hope for feral kittens.

Sometimes a feral kitten can be taken in and shown that life doesn’t have to be quite so hard.  In that way, when cats are able to give up their predatory diet of blood and guts, in favor of more humanely slaughtered meat, in fact dry food, as in Leviticus it is a blessing to eat old produce (Leviticus 26), it is as if they have chosen Hashem’s way, where lovingkindness is central to the harmony, and foundation of seeing the less cruel side of nature.  That is, we as humans, like cats, especially those who take Torah seriously are able to live idealistic lives, and it is only because we have chosen and continue to choose the way of Hashem.

Do cats believe that we are Gods again...I can only ponder that.

“ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, and other major disorders may be more related than we thought.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/28/psychiatric-disorders-genetics-mental-disorder-autism-adhd_n_2781772.html My extended commentary to a Huffington Post article on the subject of the title. I knew it all along. Why? Because I had them all. As a youngster, I had ADHD, but undiagnosed though every knew I had it. Then, I had a psychotic episode where I was told that my illness would only get worse. That was proven wrong by going not the holistic route, but the comprehensive route, where my family had to dig deep into their pockets in order that I would get healed. The treatment I receive comes by licensed practitioners at Comprehensive Psychiatric Resources in Waltham, MA. The separation of these diagnosis is often according to age more than anything else. Doctors are much likely to play the part of wishful thinking by diagnosing a kid with ADHD rather than make a mistake and give a diagnosis that has more stigma attached to it. If it’s a kid, then they call it autism or ADHD. Why? Everyone has a lot of hope that a cure will come for autism. And, frankly it is practically in style to get a diagnosis of ADHD. The problem is that autistic children become schizophrenic adults. That is when they get a, “You are beyond all hope diagnosis,” which is not entirely true if your doctor uses comprehensive resources like the Great Plains Laboratory. These folks are often able to get their diagnosis reduced to bipolar on a gluten and casein free diet, as I did, but there is no cure for the damage that ten or twenty years of opiates can deal to a young developing mind. Also, I recommend doing the test to see if a gluten free and/or casein free diet is necessary for you or your loved one. Lot’s of people go gluten free and just because they eat healthier, they report a false positive that removing gluten is helpful. That test can hopefully be administered to you through the Great Plains Laboratory that also requires that you work with a licensed practitioner in order to get the test. It will cost you an arm and a leg, and your health care almost certainly won’t cover it, but it can mean the difference between life and death. I, myself, am suspicious of the shots. Mainly, vaccines affect the immune system, and many of these disorders are traceable to the immune system. Thus, the thing that we are observing that has reaction to the immune system may go back as far as the appearance of narcolepsy, as a separate diagnosable disorder, where it was previously unknown to exist, and where these folks are observed to exhibit narcotic symptoms, that appear as if one has consumed opiates. It is that there are certain plants that contain gluten, and milk that contains casein, that these two proteins have opiate derivatives, which affect some people but not others. The fact is that the gut of someone with the illness in question, be it ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, narcolepsy, or chronic fatigue, etc, is fundamentally different. The gut of people with these illnesses digests gluten and casein different from the majority of the population. With respect to the doctor, Dr. Andrew Wakefield's, who lost his job for putting out a journal article for the above mentioned information. If the guy was actually a crook, out to do harm, he would have most likely not said something so profound as a link between vaccines and autism. That statement is so audacious that he would have had to have been a fool to make it and be trying to tell us all a lie. He would have been debunking the goodness of vaccines, and vaccines have long been considered perhaps in the 10 top medicinal inventions ever. Folks this guy was a doctor, and not a dummy. Only a dummy would make up such a lie as to correlate vaccines and autism, and frankly there is not a chance in hell that a doctor would have said that particular thing if it was in fact untrue.

WTF??? Does AT&T Think That I Want To Pay More for Data Sometimes?

I just looked at my AT&T Go Phone message that just informed me that I have no money left. That is because I didn’t buy a bigger data package. However, it would have been nice if they had warned me to buy a data package, rather than run up the dough on my phone, as if I wanted to pay more money by not having a data package.

So hi! Let me introduce myself. I was a happy AT&T customer because Verizon screwed me for data to a much greater extent than AT&T did though nonetheless both companies have screwed me before.

I am a somewhat happy user of a Go Phone now, so that getting screwed to the extent of $1,000 over data with Verizon will never happen again because when my card runs out of money, that’s it. If I was with Verizon under contract, it could have been worse. Last I knew, you could spend yourself into oblivion with Verizon data without even a warning.

At least a warning would have helped me with AT&T. Now, I am without my phone because I was watching a long video on it that ate up all my data. AT&T courteously stopped me when I had spent my last cent, but they didn’t courteously tell me that my data plan had run out. I would have liked the option to buy a new plan when the last one ran out, such that I don’t have to wait until my next check to have a phone to use.

Like Verizon, AT&T is doing bad business. When I worked at McDonald’s if you ordered everything that comes with a value meal, it was automatic for us to make it at the value meal price. Why? It is good business to help the customer get deals. That makes your business at least seem friendly. In the same way, when your data package ends, it should automatically deny you use of data unless you purchase a data package, even if it is an emergency package that costs say, $1 for 1MB, because seriously AT&T who actually wants to spend more money on data by not buying a data package, especially without being asked!!!???

A Looming Potential Disaster to the Credibility of Science

I think oxidation is a major factor when it comes to dating fossils. When dating something, oxidation is not included in the factor, because in theory these fields have yet to be united in a theory of everything, so to say. You can't tell me that the sun beating down on some rocks causes them to decay, and that is not someway tied to the their radioactive date. Radioactivity is only part of the picture, and it most certainly reasonable to believe that oxidation plays a role in radioactivity.

I have written on this subject years ago, but I never got much of a response. So, now I'll give it another try.

Why Christianity Is Wrong

"Exodus 33:20. And He said, 'You will not be able to see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.'"


Then, why do people believe that Jesus is God? Christianity is so absurd. By definition in the 10 commandments, if you believe something that is an earthen vessal, even a human is a Gd, then that is idolatry.

The same is true with me. I might claim to be a Messiah, but I am certainly not a God. God is in me as he is in everthing in this creation, permeating it in conceiled omnipresence, as we can't see Gd. Please don't worship me. And, it is true that I believe Gd has spoken to me. God's words to me where, "I am punishing you." So, I said, "Why are you punishing me?" And, Gd's reply was, "I get everyone sooner or later." And, yet I do know that this qualifies as a hallucination, yet I trust that it was real and Gd spoke to me.

TMI: On The Feb. 2013 Blizzard Nemo - Soaked In Pee In The Cold and Dark Night

I confess on the blizzard Nemo Feb 2013.  The power outage could not have gotten any worse for me the first night.  I woke up in the middle of it, and me being a guy, I figured I could pee in the dark.  You know, I've done it a million times in the light, so I should be able to do it blind-folded even.  Well folks, I missed the pot, and the spray came right back at me.  I took off my shirt and wiped myself with it, and I wiped the floor with it, but it wasn't like I could take a shower in the dark!  I would have fallen on my ass if I tried that.  So, defeated, having tried to stand and pee in the dark, I went back to bed on the couch.  Yuck!  Next time, when the power is out at night, I am going to sit to pee.  Thank Gd the power is back and I can take a shower lighted shower with hot water.

*** Beyond Outrage by Robert B. Reich – Of Reich’s Works That I Have Read It’s Comparatively Subpar

The first point I would like to make takes up a third of this book.  It is on what Reich has called Radcons in another book.  I think Reich has said enough about Radical Conservatives by now.  The Radcons are no longer a threat.  However, I agree that regression is a threat.

My generation has rejected the Radcon way of life in favor of having a more liberal lifestyle.  It is not radical conservatives Reich is afraid of, but those who wish to be fiscally responsible, and these folks may be either Democrat or Republican.

I, myself, have already stated that I believe Reich is wrong about what to do.  Reich wants to continue running trillion plus dollar deficits until the economy gets better.  However, to me that seems stupid.  We may get a good run at having a good economy, but not enough to sustain an economy recovery.  That is, 8 years is not enough time to put us in the positive, and chances are that partly because of term limits, we won’t be able to sustain enough of a recovery.  Perhaps, getting rid of term limits is something we should consider, but I think that we would just go for another 4 years of Obama mediocrity.

Some presidential leaders to look for come 2016 are Hillary Clinton, Deval Patrich, and even Reich himself.  It has baffled me why Reich hasn’t run for office.

The first part of this book, “The Rigged Game,” I think most folks already know enough about.  Most folks are angry at Wall Street and the rich, and want government to work for them doing things such as closing loopholes.  The word is out.  And, folks are right, the game is rigged.

One area I flat out disagree with Reich is that I don’t think giving more money to the poor is a good answer.  In my opinion, folks need to find out how to make their money, the money they already don’t have because they are broke because they have already spent it, work for them, such that the poor can be empowered.  Thus, the answer is for folks to be more careful when spending, rather than to toss out more handouts.  These actions are going to take a concerted effort, and America is going to need to find some fiscally conservative cheerleader that can see to it that folks are able to make their money go as far as it can possible go.

One suggestion I might make is that I often shop at Amazon.com, if a local store doesn’t have what I need, or if the local is charging an unreasonable price.  There are lots of good bargains on Amazon.com, especially if you are willing to put up with having used goods.  Also, there are other stores like BJ’s where if you are careful with your money, it will stretch further.

The major problem of this book is that it assumes that if you put more money in the hands of average Americans, then good things will happen, but that isn’t true.  The fact is that most Americans are clueless when it comes to math, such that if you gave them more money, they wouldn’t have a clue how to spend the money wisely.  Therefore, the problem is not that the poor and middle class don’t earn enough, but the problem is that CEO pay is ludicrously high.  The reason middle and lower class pay is good is because if we raise it, it would simply cause more inflation, and folks would have a much more difficult time determining whether or not they should purchase something based upon its price.

I do agree with the author that there are certain things we should be outraged at, such as the buying of political offices.  I agree that CEO pay is out of control.  I agree that we need to close tax loopholes, such taxing what is now considered to be capital gains.  Reich does make a lot of good points, but I felt that his books Supercapitalism, and Aftershock were much better. 

Lastly, the last third of the book seems both naïve and correct.  In order to have a movement that will make change, we have to get off of our couches.  However, the USA suffers for this as we Americans are couch potatoes.  Our ancestors would have bound together to fight against our problems, but for us, we are not a very cohesive nation.  That is, too often we relate to each other via the internet.  That is another subject that Reich might do well to include if he writes another book.

**** Killing Is My Business and Business Is Good by Megadeth – Awesome and Totally Old School

The reason I subtracted a star and gave this album 4 stars is that I don’t want anyone to be disappointed with the quality of the sound of this album.  This album was made on a shoestring budget, and as in the way that there isn’t so much need to buy old jazz albums because the newer ones are higher quality, so it is that way with Killing Is My Business.  As for me, I like the old school production.

As for the music on this album.  It is some of the best thrash/speed metal out there.  It really is a good album.  This is the type of album that when someone says to me, “I think metal blows,” and I say to them, “Well if you think it’s so bad, then why don’t you try playing it?”  I have never heard anyone complain to me about an album like this one when I said something like, “I will listen to your criticism, if and only if, you can play it,” because truly this album is a work of art, and it is not easily repeatable, as it is with all great works of art.

The USA's Junk Yard Economy

Every year the Obama administration has been in office, the deficit, roughly a trillion dollars, has been an economic stimulus. That is the yearly deficit is the yearly stimulus. Folks does this seem to be working? Last I knew prices, were going up. Can't we see, as a nation that there has to be a better way.

Now, I am not about having the poor and the middle class foot the bill. Why? Because the government doesn't protect the money of the poor and middle class. Why? Because they don't have any money to protect. Rather, the 5% of us that the government works for, it is these folks that the government who should foot the bill. So, it is not as if I am demanding the money from the rich to go to the poor, but rather I am demanding that the rich pay for their own government.

I'll also add that when I see a lot of average people, I would collectively call them a bunch of junk. They don't deserve to have more money because they will just squander it on booze, and drugs, and likewise prices will go up. I don't have much hope for average folks, and by that I don't mean poor, middle class or even rich folks. What I am talking about is that the bar has been lowered for the people and that the very morals that folks are participating in are low class. No I am not homophobic, anti abortion, etc, but what I see is that America has turned to drugs, such as marijuana that when used is proven to result in poor judgment, and a general breakdown of the family as a sacred unit of society.

I'll also state that I strongly believe that the time to make cuts now, rather than later, even though I agree it will make things messy. The reason I believe that now is the time is that we have a huge amount of debt. We have so much debt that it is scarcely believable that we could pay off the current debt we have now in our lifetimes. The idea that we could actually get the economy on track for long enough, meaning generating an economy that can sustain cuts all the way, and not flop is unbelievable.

Put it this way. We are in the economic super bowl and it is half time and we are down by 70 points. The fortune of the game is written. It seems like winning is impossible, so what is our plan? My plan I learned from a long song by Sepultura in high school, "When you go down. You go down fighting." When your down and you've got nothing to lose, go down fighting.

A Reason for Gun Control in Populated Areas - The Pigsty Effect

There is something also worthy of mention; what I call the pig sty effect. Most of the nations with stricter gun control in Europe also have a greater population density, such that this pig sty effect is of a greater worry than it is in most of the USA. The same is true in New York, where guns are more restricted than elsewhere in the States.

Basically, from a biological standpoint, pigs are very similar to humans. Pigs in a sty behave far worse than if they were not. In the sty, they fight a lot, eat their own poop, etc. I also have a theory; that a place like New York is also likely to become a sty. Ghettos are essentially cities gone wrong. Ghettos might as well have no gun control at all.

In some parts of NYC that means due to guns the life expectency of males is only about 18yrs old, meaning this life expectancy is due to the pig sty effect. We can't even get the guns out of these ultra-poor areas because it is the children who are the one's pulling the trigger, and children with guns is a very scary idea.

A good movie about this idea, is City of God.

Thus, to respect population as a trigger for gun related violence, gun control should not even be controlled at the state level, but at the district level, especially so that we can keep guns out of the hands of people in more populated areas, such as cities.

Is ruling in the genes? All presidents bar one are directly descended from a medieval English king

• 12-year-old girl created family tree linking 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to King John of England, who signed Magna Carta in 1215
• Only eighth president, Martin Van Buren, was not related to John

What do Barack Obama, Thomas Jefferson, George W. Bush and the other past U.S. presidents have in common? Besides holding the coveted title of commander-in-chief, it appears that all of them but one are cousins.  

The remarkable discovery was made by 12-year-old BridgeAnne d’Avignon, of Salinas, California, who created a ground-breaking family tree that connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common, and rather unexpected, ancestor: King John of England.

‘They all have the trait of wanting power,’ d’Avignon told the station WFMY.

Budding genealogist: BridgeAnne d'Avignon created a family tree that connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common ancestor

History detective: It took d'Avignon several months to search through more than 500,000 names and trace the male and female lineages of American leaders

King John, also known as John ‘Lackland’, is renowned for signing the Magna Carta in 1215, which limited the monarch’s power and helped form the British Parliament.

John’s other claim to fame, or infamy, is that he was depicted as the villain in the Robin Hood tales.

Common grandfather: The 12-year-old traced the lineages of nearly all of the U.S. presidents to King John, the signer of the Magna Carta

D’Avignon, a seventh-grader at Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville, started the project in hopes of tracing back her own bloodline in France, but somewhere along the way she decided to take her genealogical quest to the highest level. 

In order to create the family tree, the 12-year-old spent months scouring through over 500,000 names in search of the ‘presidential Adam.’

Her 80-year-old grandfather, who has been tracing roots for nearly six decades, helped her make the presidential links. 

D’Avignon started with the first U.S. president, George Washington, she traced both the male and female family lines to make the connection. 

Prior to d’Avignon’s discovery, genealogists were only able to link 22 families of presidents, likely because they only focused on male bloodlines. 

The only former commander-in-chief not linked to King John is the eighth president, Martin Van Buren, who had Dutch roots.  

The teen also found out that she is the 18th cousin of President Obama. She even wrote to her new-found relative a letter to share her findings with him.

So far, however, d’Avignon said she received only a generic response from the White House.

Odd man out: Only the eighth president of the U.S., Martin Van Buren, was not related to King John because he had Dutch roots

D’Avignon created a poster of the presidential family tree and is selling signed copies of it in hopes of raising enough money to make a trip to Washington DC. The middle-school student says her goal is to hand-deliver a replica of her family tree to the president. 

'I think we just all go back somewhere; it’s just a matter of proving it,' she said.
