“Tweets Preserved No longer functions on the new Twitter, so that will be the end of that series. We hope Twitter preserves archives in an accessible way. Previously, one had to scroll backward, and it slowed to a stop. I’d copy-paste, then remove all the extraneous. We like the old Twitter, and were switched by compulsion. Americans are slavish!

At 3:00-327: “When a subject of an investigation obstructs that investigation, or lies to an investigator, it strikes at the core of the government’s ability to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable.”

It’s like Cohen said, “That’s a very nice tie.” Gangsters do not commit crimes in ways that can be prosecuted, till they get very arrogant, as Trump Russia also did.

Let’s do Giuliani a favor and only undercharge Trump and then overcharge him with treason, ignoring what he actually did that is impeachable: such as OBSTRUCTION. Passively receiving foreign election fraud assistance is not the same as active collusion, but it is “coordination.”

“They are doing it as we speak” is not news. The “R” is asking, like its an open question! Gee, do ya think Russia is messing with the elections? Americans are just a bit slow- a side effect of OXY!! But we are not stupid enough to elect Trump without help- he’d have been weeded

I’m still failing to read the Mueller report on the machine, and can’t get a book. The only book I’v read on the machine is Sister Lucy: Fatima. I almost read Baukham on the Revelation of St. John the Apostle.

Do they care if Russia turned the election and Don obstructed the investigation? And it causes war or nuclear war?

Ja, we thought the House needed a little help drawing up the articles. Nancy, give ’em a hand, will ya?

    1. A new star: Satirist Randy Rainbow Uses Show Tunes And Pop Songs To Lampoon Trump

    2. Shit, I could have been a real estate scam artist! With my own blowdryer, rug, and T.V. show!

    3. If I had $4.90, after reading Bloom’s Republic!

    4. Czechoslovakia is in fine shape, eh

    5. Hey, at least he didn’t say go back to the kitchen and help their husbands fix the countries they came from! He’d never get laid again, but that’s probly a For-gone, eh?

    Hey, at least he didn’t say go back to the kitchen and help their husbands fix the countries they came from! He’d never get laid again, but that’s probly a For-gone, eh?

  2. 4.90$, like a college philosophy book, Bloom’s Republic!: by

  3. This: To read with a pen and take notes: The Mueller Report: The Final Report of the Special Counsel on Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election by Robert S. Mueller III

  4. Look, part of the reason Trump is still sitting there is WE let the stuff go that has gone by, then get worked up about “racist” comments. Being a calloused idiot is not impeachable. Obstruction is, but WE have to hold him accountable. The executive agencies apparently cannot.

  5. On the Moon: It was a great oversight to fail to leave a steele, you know, a granite carved stone like those guys left by Petros, so in 3.5 billion years, someone might find it. I guess granite is heavy. Aluminum would have worked, like 2001 Odyssey

  6. The swing states votes do not jive with the popular votes. Data collection and internet interference was used even to influence or obstruct the voters themselves, as well as IRA propaganda techniques, fake news and fake dirt.

  7. Look, the impression of the Mueller report is overwhelming. What are the 10 instances of obstruction? Some very strange stuff went on with Page, Manafort, Cohen, Sater, Popo and Flynn. Don was told the election would be turned for him. (You know they’d not trust ‘im to figger!)

  8. Bad taste in whores is not an article niether.

  9. “Unfit” is probably not an article. Nor are racist comments. The real articles are : I) Election fraud II) Bribery III) Obstruction IV) Oath of office violated V) Emoluments And the payment to Stormy. (Or is she an emolument? I think not! Yuuch!)

  10. He did this in 2017 with almost ZERO press! Imagine! What are the articles? Rep. Al Green: Donald Trump unfit to be president via

  11. Again, the bone swamp cow, very similar to me to the rock swamp cow tooth, looking for a paleotoothological identification

  12. We are so secularized, we do not believe in miracles, but that too is just what love is. Hope.

  13. What does the love song aspect have to do with my old teacher speaking philosophically on lyric poetry? Or with the Democratic Convention, for that matter, as they were using the great line. Miracles.

  14. I never did believe in miracles But I’ve a feeling it’s time to try I never did believe in the ways of magic But I’m beginning to wonder why Don’t, don’t break the spell It would be different and you know it will You, you make loving fun And I don’t have to tell you but …

  15. Woke up dreaming this song, surprised that my old teacher was explaining something from it: Fleetwood Mac – You Make Loving Fun via

  16. Here’s an old one: We had an analysis of this, as if it were laid out on a map of the Middle East

  17. A Conversation with Justice John Paul Stevens via

  18. Districting, Guns, Campaign finance and the death penalty: How retired Justice Stevens would change the constitution via

  19. Any sane president would appoint Obama to the Court. He’s be then like Taft, holding positions in each branch, terminal. If Barack does not retire to study political philosophy! Or translating St. John!

  20. Obama on Justice Stevens’ Retirement via

  21. John Paul Stevens, retired Supreme Court Justice, has died at 99 via

  22. And pot smoking- the Ruskies are not big pot smokers over here. Wouldn’t want Vlad to know they’s marvellin’! But we can deport them for spying or election fraud activity, whorin’ (but not not be’in a good dissident).

  23. We do not get that IF Russia threw the election to harm the US executive branch, there IS something we can do about it Constitutionally aside from IMPEACHment. Our Constitution does not prevent us from remedy: The Court CAN void the election.

  24. Here is another “Swamp Cow” tooth, this one not of rock but bone or enamel, more from the megafauna days. Can anyone identify it? I’ll Google “Prehistorical paleo Swamp Cow”

  25. A commentator discussed the “likes” business in relation to the old Skinner box, deferred gratification, etc, the principles of animal training that pass for psychology to men who do not think about the psyche. I always forget that humans mostly act like animals. Follow the money

  26. And Biden has 8 years experience staring into the abyss of the nuclear circumstance of modern man. And seeing the Presidency run basically correctly.

  27. Centrists: We do hang up on the “S” word, and call for a detailed discussion of the Bill of rights, say, property rights, forced charity and the difference between this and just taxation. But Bernie cares for the common good, and can fix Big Pharma and internet. Warren gets money

  28. So, it does seem to have been a bit more than a few Trolls and Russian whores, so that one must wonder who was paying for this journalism. Why would someone say such a thing?

  29. Gotta love the controlled cynicism in the very music of his voice. It is the music of reason- not fooled, yet knowing what it does not know.

  30. Just say “No” to tyranny.

  31. So, ya, we the centrists are voting with the Democrats until anything conservative recovers from being snowed by Trump-Russia and grows back the conscience that would not invite THE foreign power to pervert elections for partisan gain. IMPEACH! Boycott the “Republican” party!

  32. How about “Republican Fascist? Easier than to get away with “Democratic Communist.” Right “POP-ulism.” Bullshit. Tyranny, and its un-American. Our whole credo, the four assertions of the second sentence of the Declaration, is a rejection of this “Republican” slavishness.

  33. Today, his comment on the label “Democratic socialist,” and how the Trumpsters want to make all issues about the rejection of the Democrat’s left. Try rejecting DISHONESTY. Gerrymandering. Prostituting oneself.

  34. and they’ve done a fine, journalistic job through the Trump-Russia episode of American history. Q-Anon is doing that of which they accuse, intentionally lying, propaganda. Some guys like Bannon and Bright Bart thought that was how one does it- make popular opinion for one’s own.

  35. Let the Q-Anon guys tell us about “Main stream media”- what a crock and line of Bull. W@hat sort of media is that? I do CBS and NPR simultaneously all day long if possible, out in the shed, with some T.V. news thrown in, and they’ve done a fine, journalistic job through…

  36. Ah, the Dave Ross sober view of politics: Listen to The Dave Ross Commentary online via

  37. Masha? One called her Much-a guessin’

  38. That Big Tech got us to accept a medical level of the publicity of the private for their purposes of data collection is beyond belief. And we had Orwell! The majority was somehow persuaded to accept this as necessity, about which nothing can be done, Congress, legislation failed.

  39. Ya, incidentally, Don, we are America, ya know, the guys who say it is a self evident truth that all men are created equal. Happy Fourth!

  40. Ja, go back to NY and Michigan and IMPEACH! Bring a Supreme Court case to void the fake Russian election. Fake elections have consequences- like setting a moron atop half the world’s nukes, at the whim of the guy set atop the other half.

  41. “Go back…” Bizarre, the levels of…but the great Trump tweet reveals that racism is behind the immigration concern, as might have been suspected from the lack of white guys from Russia being deported. (Apparently, the Russian mob avoids petty crimes like election fraud).

  42. Mueller report: by p. 50, it is clear we will not have another free election. It is amazing that these things were learned, and the confidence with which the report identifies the actor as GRU. Ok, Vladdie.

  43. Tommy- The Who (With lyrics!) Part 3 via

  44. Guinevere understand? Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Country Girl (unreleased, live version) -… via

  45. Gee whiz, if the GRU used Twitter messes to contact wikileaks, they must trust the privacy of these things! I always assume Putin himself could be listening if he wanted, especially when we had KASPERSKY, from, you know, MOSCOW!

  46. Wow! Crosby, just 10 years ago:

  47. Crosby & Nash – The Accoustic Concert – Guinnevere via

  48. Guinevere (Remastered) via

  49. I remember Moshe Gessen saying “a few trolls,” and we called her on it then.

  50. Mueller, p. 40, GRU eh? Contracts worldwide? So, when that guy says “60 million voted for Trump…” The election was thrown by Russian interference, and does not confer legitimacy. Look, America is simply not that stupid or corrupt without a great deal of help.

  51. I like how one can feel the night air as the cats would feel it, and the streetlamps. The writer Weber WAS a cat!

  52. BARBRA STREISAND memory (theme from CATS) via

  53. Barbra Streisand – The Way We Were via

  54. Barbra Streisand – Evergreen via

    Translate Tweet

  55. One is reminded of when Goneril says, “the law is mine. Who can arraign me for it…”

  56. Now I’m poking about p. 47. The GRU hacking of the Dem’s computers implanting malware is a marvel, and depends upon them helping one self-interested- that is base or debased- party. Trumpsters do not mind the unethical if legal, the illegal if unprovable, called “winning.”

  57. Scrolling down to p. 33, man, there is a lot redacted! How can anyone gather? We expect these to be filled in to Congress, as some of these ongoing matters come out. The Don needs to answer in an Impeachment trial in the Senate, for receiving election fraud help +rewarding Russia

  58. Stuff like this is absent from the Mueller report why? Remember? Reblog From Straight Arrow: No “Collusion?” Sater, Cohen and Trump Tower Moscow via

  59. So, what’s up with that Grand Jury? And what might be those ongoing matters? Surely Barr has been diligently completing the investigation. Two spaces in the obstruction section would go to Manafort and Page.

  60. Intimidation was also used. I was sent an impressive collection of tweets that had angered Trump-Russia, together with medical information, likely from a pharmacy. Access to my location was indicated, and a photo sent that looked like me, but was Bruce Willis. Etc.

  61. Russia used every means possibly, weighing the risk, but being wrong about the means being undetectable. Kaspersky was then handling computer security for 400 million., from Moscow. Data was collected and algorithms employed, similar to a marketing action without limits.

  62. It is impeachable because they told him the election would be turned for him, the means undetectable, so as to receive foreign policy considerations such as the weakening of NATO and sanctions. THAT is bribery. Obstruction is committed to avoid revealing this truth.

  63. Flynn, Page, Manafort, Cohen, Papadopoulos, These have, Geeze, not been in the news for a while. Congress is going to go, “Now what was the question again? If Russia turned the election for the Don, how is that impeachable?

  64. It is almost impossible to scroll the Mueller report for reading. I went to 191 this time.

  65. What kind of “data” is being collected on those who read the Mueller report on their computers? Are these then being interfered with? Can we trust the federal executive to check? To care, if it serves their short term advantage? IMPEACH!!

  66. Why is the Mueller report so difficult to access? Is it even print-able? It cannot be copy-pasted. Read the redacted Mueller report

  68. One Big question: Why is the border problem suddenly 10x worse? One said we had ceased aid to central American nations, given obviously for our benefit as well. Is it a Trumped up crisis, an attempt to inflame division? Putin again?

  69. Joan Osborne – One Of Us (Official Music Video) via

  70. If Canada would take us, we could just make the US a province or maybe a territory, like the Yukon used to be! But they wouldn’t want the nukes and the garbage. They send their garbage here! Then they’d have to clean it up!

  71. O Canada, Canadian National Anthem. via

  72. 100% brown guys, is it? I’m sure glad all the Russian immigrants obey the law!

  73. A rational guest worker program might be a good place to start. We do not trusty ICE with immigration policy, period. Transition cities and good neighbor policies might help. We could educate the central Americans to return and free their nation, if we could do that for our own!

  74. I’d reached an end here in the states, and was trying to avoid what then occurred and almost occurred- a charming story, as I was seized, drugged, attempted psycho-drugged, held for 20 days and finally released despite having done not a single thing wrong, nor said a thing false.

  75. I tried to get deported on inauguration day, no shit. The Canucks would’t let me in, or else the US guys wouldn’t let me out! Said I did not have enough money to go in, and I had their permission to leave Canada immediately! I’s wantin to stay if Trump attacked the demonstration.

  76. They’ll prob’ly go back two generations and try to deport me to Canada …for smokin’ weed! ‘Least then the’d have themselves a token “White” guy (get it, tolkein? Sarcasm does not come across on Twitter.

  77. Wonder if ICE is getting time and a half on tax money to work on Sunday. Least we know whose work they are NOT doing!

    Psy Group is coming. It’s like a “hydra” as one wise well informed person told me. It’s one of the 12 investigations Mueller farmed out. Barr can’t touch it, its way too explosive and if he did it would leak. I always believed Mueller’s cases he spread around would be the ending.

    …his comms with Russian embassy while accompanying Farage to US to campaign for Trump. His diamond-less diamond mines. These are stories reported but just by & but & & . I am not the story. He is.

  98. Putin used KASPERSKY computer security to run Trump up the flagpole then deflect the vote in swing states. Oxy deaths were higher in the swing states. The “R”‘s went along with it for partisan advantage.

  99. For how long has mmcdonald said ad-nausium, to dis-believing hearers: The election was turned by data collection and targeted interference?” And we mean YOUR tech is spying on YOU by camera, microphone and other means unknown. And we mean RUSSIAN intimidation AND mechanical.

  100. Back just one or two steps, though: The US Congress took “campaign contributions” to NOT regulate, that is, LEGISLATE in the new Wild West of the internet. And WE keep electing them and do not require that they DO THEIR JOB. But there we can fix it. Will we? IMPEACH!!

  101. My TED talk: how I took on the tech titans in their lair | Carole Cadwalladr

  102. Aguirre was the last one up on the Moth today, with a story of paranoia in Chile: She was nearly murdered by a guy who tortured folks from the Resistance.

  104. Comedy is interesting. On Saturday on NPR, we have “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” and here it is possible to know, and for them, even to speak. What is the knowledge on which comedy is based? It has to do with common sense, but teaches because it is above the common.

  105. …Is that in part to secure future foreign election assistance, because you think that is a fine way of winning?

  106. Trump must be asked, in trial in the Senate: Did someone tell you the election would be turned for you? And the means ‘undetectable?’ And did you then reward Russia, t as by weakening NATO and sanctions? Is that in part to secure future foreign election assistance?

  110. We favor a simultaneous Supreme Court case brought by whole states, such as PA, MI, NY. #16-907, 16-1464 and 17-857 were brought by citizens, but massively obstructed. Impeachment would end obstruction.

    Robert Reich: The Impeachment Process Explained via

  111. Putin has been cultivating fascism throughout the world, a peculiar sort of modern tyranny, the opposite of Marxism in many ways, right and left. Putin himself may be neither and willing to use both, along with using other gangsters, for power. Power as a goal is very strange.

    Te quiero Señor, te adoro mi Dios, me siento vivo

  113. But how DO we know? It is NOT equal, the lie and the reality. Our nature IS capable of an accurate view of the world, despite the fact that we do not know many things, and so do not know the whole.

  114. Q-anon is being done intentionally, taking advantage of the fact that humans do not know, yet are very gullible. Trump-Russia knows that they are criminals and use opinion, and must change the whole picture of reality into one in which they are innocent, because it is useful.

  115. There is a house of mirrors. There is the images in the mirrors. And then there is the house of mirrors. When we dream, we are almost always convinced that awe are in a circumstance but are not. We are wrong, and we awaken, and go about our day.

  116. How do we know? A genuine conspiracy may be behind the far right conspiracy theory cult. An intentional effort to accuse the Dems of something very similar to that of which the right is guilty. An intentional use of “shadow,” characteristic of Russian propaganda theory.

  117. Uncomfortably Numb via

  120. When does Facebook pay US the value of our data and the voters rights implied by their 500 B$ sale of our privacy? When does Congress “secure these rights,” rather than take campaign contributions? We will likely never have another free election. Because we are not going to fix.

  124. We suspect Vlad prepped us with OXY and pocketed the profit from a Russ mob- Big Pharma deal. Where does he GET all that money he launders, eh?

  125. That is what happens when one bans genuine thought. 10,000 free persons will make Vlad eat his 2016 election, IF we GET IT and STAND UP!! But this was obvious 2+ years ago: Congress is ON OXY!!

  1. This includes the Fourth of July celebration Twitter DJ session, listing the 70 candidates for the top 20 rock songs, “rock proper,” as we call it, only the NOISY.

    My computer clearly does not like it if I try to read the Mueller report. We need print out copies at the library.

  2. That is the meaning of his inability to reach a conclusion regarding the Russian election interference investigation. There are 10 instances of obstruction, and they keep count of lies.

  3. Again, at 3:00-3:13 of the Mueller SPEECH, he says something close to: “When there is obstruction and lies it goes to the core of the ability of the investigation to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable.” That is the meaning of his inability to reach a conclusion…

  4. Good, we have another week to try to read the redactions in the Mueller report for Congress. And Russia has another week to use their selection of Trump. Process is a bit slow for the nuclear age, no?

  5. The suggestion is to remove Trump, rather than see what Russia can do with his destruction of the executive. The method is to motivate BOTH the other branches: States need to bring suit for the election fraud. And IMPEACH!!

  6. Only 5 days left to read the Mueller report and suggest questions to your representative. The first sentence: Russia acted to turn the election. The question is what do we do about it. A great deal is at stake.

  7. Trump-Russians are liable for separating these children from their parents in order to punish. This is unconstitutional executive power, and criminal. IMPEACH!!

  8. Ja, no “white” immigrants who committed crimes being deported, not a single one? No Russians, all the Russian gangsters are fine-o? Chrissakes, gimmie a Belgian or a Canuck, anything! I did hear of ONE Ruskie, like a year and a half ago. Seriously this is such bullshit!

  9. Ja, dudes are, like, “Monophysite!” “Off with ‘is ‘ed!!” A Pelasgisan, er ya? Arian er Al- Bagensian! Took their theory seriously back then. Dudes should-a worked at the gas station, but they didn’t have em then. Plowman, go!.

  10. Ja, the Age of Faith one has a good study of Islam from before the contemporary era, before opinion was warped. Medieval political orders are all messed up in the same way, like men were obligated to them to hold the right opinion of the Deity. Justinian unity, Eh? Weird.

  11. A 900’s dude name-a Abu Said, a Sufi mystic, wrote: Said I, “To whom belongs thy beauty?” He Replied, Since I alone exist, to Me; Lover, beloved, and Love am I in one; Beauty, and Mirror, and the eyes that see.” Imago and object, he could add. Mystics.

  12. I keep trying to think of Durants as a mere historialn- Will and Ariella, , while I milk the volumes for the encyclopedic study. then they include something amazing: Avicenna read Aristotle’s Metaphysics 40x without understanding. Then the Al Farabi commentary: joy! (IV, p. 255).

  13. Has the Senate yet questioned Google? And has Google contributed to campaigns?

  14. “Deep fakes, we are worried about SHALLOW fakes! And how easy it is to get the Americans to fall for this stuff. And Senators who were told of these things many months ago, and did not hear their constituents.

  15. The abuses of Google etc. by Trump Russia and the Republicans are about to be revealed- so they do the counter accusation first, just like with “election fraud” and the supposed fake voters

  41. In totalitarianism, too, there is the suspension of “reality,” as if the Devil taught them a trick: How to use human ignorance. Just say, “prove it.” And there are no courts. Broad daylight in Manhattan, and no one will hold him accountable. Well, lets. IMPEACH!!

  42. The articles of impeachment are: I) Election fraud II) Bribery III) Emoluments IV) Obstruction V) Violation of the oath of office Plus the check to stormy. Are “Republicans” deaf to the testimony of Cohen and Mueller?

  43. An appeals court has decided not that there is no problem with Trump and emoluments, but that DC and Maryland have no standing to bring suit. Typical Trump Justice: Who can hold me accountable? The courts decide no obne can do anything? This is tyranny.

  56. The top looks a bit like a big old megafauna eatin’ cow, chewin grass.

  57. But youtube gets to answer regarding its algorithms! SOMEONE paid to slant things in US politics toward “right wing extremism,” according to NPR. Opinion can be controlled by simply deflecting and channeling certain Twitter accounts. There are not even laws forbidding such yet.

  58. So, today on wordpress, I get 56 pages visited by 7 visitors, and the pages uniquely do not register, because it is (likely) dark web. Prior examples were from Romania, the Ukraine, and in connection with someone in the US. WordPress does not get it.

  59. Can any anthropologists guess what kind of a tooth this petrified thing is?

  60. Look under that rock, you may find a snake-mm Hey Vlad: GET OUT OF THE UKRAINE!!

  61. Breaking on NPR today: Youtube must answer for its algorithms bending people toward right wing extremism. We had the obvious suggestion on mmcdonald 77 months ago: tyrants like Putin can pay to have accounts channeled, etc. These are the “undetectable” means election was turned

  63. At the time of the election, proudly advertising on NPR, forbidden from Gov’t computers, then quietly removed? Oh, HOM redaction. Cool.

  64. The Russian Government interfered in the 2016 election in sweeping and systematic fashion” is the first sentence of the Mueller report. Do you think they avoided unprovable ways, like mechanical interference with computers using KASPERSKY, handling 400 m accounts- FROM MOSCOW!?

  65. The Who – I Can See for Miles via

  66. But Ja, Vlad needs to GET OUT OF THE UKRAINE. But he does not take well to free advice.

  67. Ja, we may not have time, and so one wishes the people of this fine Democracy would wise up quick. One cannot know what we know and do nothing-simply allow it. THAT is fatal.

  68. But the power of pardon extends to all cases other than impeachment. Hence, Ford could pardon Nixon. We needed to go to the Court 2+ years ago: #16-907; 16-1464 and 17-857. Whole states must bring the case.

  69. Trump must be asked under oath in trial in the Senate: “Did someone tell tyou the election would be turned for you? And the means undetectable? And did you then reward Russia by weakening NATO and sanctions? He will resign before he sits for that, just like Nixon resigned.

  70. So far, our KNOWING is the only thing that has had any good effect, but it has countered the deal.

  71. Trouble is, we may not have time. Putin wants us in a war in the Middle East, so he can watch his competitors bash each others brains out. We suspect Putin in Bali, Christchurch and Las Vegas, and it is being looked into. After Skripal, you say he WOULD not?

    Americans are tired of watching fight with other Democrats. This House needs to get off its behind and impeach . The evidence of his guilt is overwhelming. …

  74. And here’s the kicker: the tape atop only covers one camera, while those who put tape over that are really in a category!

  75. Now I’ll go try to read the redactions in the Mueller report, since my “R” representative won’t even read the OBSTRUCTION.

  76. Ja, Kaspersky was handling computer security for 400 million accounts…-from MOSCOW! Look it up on wiki. Then look up your tech-Magnovox, Vorizon, Microsoft, Netflix, Toshiba, etc, and learn that they have been spying on you by camera, mic and other means.

  77. And took Russian internet help against “terrorism.”

  78. Normally, our election process would have weeded Trump out with 9% in the primaries, even in the weak “R” field for cheif exec. Putin told Sater he could get the Don elected, and he was right- because WE allowed data collection and targeted “marketing.” And took Russian internet

  79. Ja, Obama needed bi-partisan support to do something, as the appearance of the thing might have caused civil war. It was fine with Mitch if the Ruskies threw the election, aiming to hobble our executive branch, so long as his party won. FIRE the GOP! Failure of integrity.

    Study finds psychiatric diagnosis to be ‘scientifically meaningless’ The authors conclude that diagnostic labeling represents ‘a disingenuous categorical system’. …

  89. The reason for the fourth Amendment is not even privacy, but rather SECURITY. And it reads not Congress shall pass no law, like the First A, but “No person shall….”

  90. And the FIRST time private data is used to assist an assassin, as occurred for example with a doctor’s appointment in a nearby town-dude was shot-The first time, I want a lawsuit and damages to be paid. THAT might give this new tyranny pause.

  91. Ja, what will be the recourse when ICE uses the facial recognition from our drivers licences to target those who call for Congressional oversight of ICE! I want to see it! Who will sue, who be the lawyers, and in which courts will the cases be heard?

  92. Recourse when these powers are abused: We want to sue Facebook, since their 500 Billion is about the value of our collected data. Minus about 1 B for the value actually created by Facebook. Oughta pay their lawyers!

  95. Ladies and gentlemen, your government has been spying on YOU- and this allowed the election to be turned, by data collection and targeted RUSSIAN interference- offshore, so out of the reach of US law.

  100. One characteristic of madness is the error regarding certainty, and we can find our own way out of errors by being self critical; and humble. But what if there is, as Socrates taught, knowledge “in” the soul that we can “recollect,” as if the soul were made to know?

  101. That’s right, we do not know or care what these words mean, and they change through time in the supposed science. But disorder is theoretical and practical, an example of the latter is “paranoia.” Errors in comprehensive practical judgement. The world IS a scary place.

  102. Or, follow Aristotle and consider Psych: separate off the character disorders and ethical virtues, and consider the mind. It has a right and wrong functioning of the theoretical and practical faculties, we call “psychosis” and Schizophrenia,” without regard for the meaning.

  108. But tyranny can, as in Russia and Russian method, use the accusation of insanity for ideological purposes. Our psych is well adapted to becoming an instrument, as, like “behaviorism,” it has no end of its own.

  109. Hence, the NORMAL is different from the standard or health of the soul. What if justice is rare? They also say the “functional,” the “adaptive,” the whole, the “self actualized,” in addition to the “ordered,” all assumed, never studied and never spelled out. The measure assumed.

  110. Our “personality theories” studies without considering the well ordered soul. Strauss does consider this, in Natural Right and History, like p. 124. The well ordered soul is rare: “the most admirable human phenomenon,”

  111. His essay is actually pretty good, but they want to treat tyranny in the terms of modern psych, from Rogers. Better than nothing, maybe. Tyranny bursts the seams of our DSM. Go to Plato, Republic books I, II and then VIII, IX, and Gorgias. Its Thrasymachus, Critias, Callicles.

  112. Point bein’, in the seat of the first principles, our psychology- knowledge of the soul- is “ecclectic.” Psych-iatry- the iateia or healing of the soul- is based upon NOTHING. Common sense, tradition, fashionable opinion or philosophic ethics.

  113. Freud was do’in his wife’s sister. Campbell says so, in his Intro to the portable Jung. So don’t give us this Otto Rank power bullshit. Our psych literally does not know what it is doing. Humans do not have the knowledge required for that authority. We are at best instrumental.

  114. Pretty bad though, to get blocked by a shrink!

  115. I only say the above because Winarick blocked me. Not even when I spoke against the drug scam-similar to Oxy- regarding antidepressants, not when I asked: What IS the well ordered soul.” It was rather when I said friendship heals, and allowed Sybil to be healed.

  116. The famous Dr. Winarick, who wrote on the “authoritarian personality” in Psych Today, said he thinks Jung is “cuckoo!” Rather, we think like Freud, he cuckolded, his wife! (But she-Emma- was prob’ly cool with it by that time- [fine milkman!])

  117. Ja, that’s why the word is “integrity.” Consider Jung on “integration.” Jung is the guy- but if he wasn’t rich, they’da locked him up, too!

  118. As in Quadro, but from a different angle than the Punk and Godfather.

  119. So, because Tommy’s parents wished to hide an affair, they subjected Tommy to his neurasthenia. It is an allegory for the musical genius of Townshend himself. He ends, though, becoming like a cult leader. Critical of the whole rock band phenom.

  120. Indeed, Don, we cannot trust our federal government even to ask if one is a citizen, without using this to hurt brown people- in flattery of their base. IMPEACH! Our problems are hydra arms, and these have a head: Russia turned our election.

  121. They do not even study the question in this way: How is it right to feel. And if one tells them there is a way to study this- the right order of the soul- they will not look: for fear they will go….! But such are those given care of our souls.

  122. Imagine being seriously or even a bit in trouble or confused, then being seized by a bunch of white-coats who start drugging you and doing shit to you- keep you from your cigarettes- then ask you how you feel! I had written How TO feel” Yes, how do they say it is right to feel?

  123. Hence, we have a First Amendment. It allows people to speak about even the highest things, and you violate the rights of no one, they cannot call you mad and seize you.

  124. The base will also accuse one of insanity if he shows them the way of Life, the way of penance. 1/3 of humans are like this. We can no longer distinguish evangelism from insanity. The worse if it is not like tele-evangelism or Trumpster style, secured with wealth.

  125. …And what ever you say will be only used against you, if you did not want to be imprisoned. And we’re the nuts ones!

  126. We seek a psychology and a psychiatry that is much more humble, observes the Bill of Rights, and is able to serve, rather than indoctrinate into a drug cult with all the power of opinion and law. And money: these cultists are paid six figures to do these things to people.

  127. Most people have little trouble telling the hero from the villain in a story. Even the rare villain who chooses villainy knows he doing such, and sees the difference. Go figger.

  128. Incidentally, Townshend, if he knows what he writes, knows more about “psychology” than by far most shrinks. What do shrinks study? Neurons? Rats? Bodies? Sex? The shrink of Sybil, Dr. Wilbur, studies the soul, and had some success. But such would not work with the unjust.

  129. You want keep “sources and methods” secret, don’t violate your own f’n constitution, eh, Cowboy? Don’t worry: You didn’t see it.

  130. But I myself was called “insane” to cover an affair between a friend and a fiance- and still am. I have also been called that in a much more complex matter, and been seized- illegally, as I said nothing true nor that I had not a perfect right to say.

  131. Tommy was told that he did not see it when he saw an affair between his mother and stepfather: Townshend is likely being simple here. Molestation, as occurs later regarding “Uncle Earnie,” has that effect.

  132. Because it IS their job to oversee the executive branch, and they won’t do it.

  133. And indeed, if the government WERE using something like “Confidential Informants,” say, on PhD politics students who turn down the invitation to apply, would they think twice to slander? And would anyone check? Would Congress hear such a complaint? Because it IS their job…

  134. Justice, we say, either IS or is necessary to, the health of the soul. Now, IF that is true, our whole psych is shot. We have tried to have a science that does not make judgments about the just. Then at the same time, suddenly does, based on common sense, (at best).

  135. Hence, our psychiatry is wrong in its first principle, and is not a science at all in the sense of the physical sciences, not an art as are the technea based on these sorts of physical knowledge- not even like bodily medicine And medicine is notoriously flawed: good at injuries.

  136. …Because JUSTICE, and not the lack of an erratic appearance- IS the health of the soul: Our souls are well if we love, seek and find true righteousness, and ill if we do not. It is of course quite difficult.

  138. And does our psychiatry, with its power to seize persons upon a mere accusation, take THAT into account? They DO take liability into account, however, and figure they have less to lose seizing the least powerful: lawyers. If one has no lawyer, he can be seized. +, no recourse.

  139. Here is a hard one: The accusation of insanity is used, when possible, by the unjust, to hide injustice seen. I have seen this at least twice. It is like the Who, Tommy, “You didn’t hear it, see it, you won’t say nothing to no one, never tell a soul What you know is the truth.”

  140. The solution to third parties in America is: Set aside self interest. If you are not going to win, throw your votes. It will also pull the parties back toward the center.

  459. Impeachment alone is not sufficient to correct the little problem of a person in the White House elected by foreign fraud. The states must bring cases and ask for immediate attention and remedy.

    republicans today: aoc is lying about migrants having to drink toilet water republicans tomorrow: actually, toilet water is good for you

  462. Because in the US, legitimacy is conferred by elections. Supreme Court cases such as #16-907, 16-1464 and 17-857 are needed to Void the election and make interim corrections. Whole states must bring the cases, and we won’t do it as with IMPEACHMENT- fearing the Trumpsters guns.

  463. And US meddling in Russian “elections” could free the world of a tyrant and villain. GET OUT OF THE UKRAINE!

  465. I was accused of insanity seized and imprisoned for 20 days, drugged illegally, and would have been given Haldol had I followed medical advice- after receiving death threats no police would pursue. Trumpster relatives committed perjury, one on a signed, sworn statement. Recourse?

  466. Russian interference in US politics is underestimated in its significance. Vulnerabilities are being collected, and political opponents attacked. The FBI is no longer trustworthy due to its bosses, and false accusations for political purposes will not be investigated.

  467. And centrists do not exist, because it does not seem to pay.

  468. We are not getting the significance of significant things: The Trump-Russian election is the end of the role of the US in Western civilization, if we do not fix it. D’s think its all about the next fake election, and R’s do not care, or it would not have happened.

  469. We do not have just men and women to send in to places like Iraq, because we are a degenerating civilization that ceased to believe in justice when “relativism” took over the study of human things. Now its all about power. I’m going to become a hermit. Self-interest’s not worth’t

  470. I guess we were slipping when Lt. Calley was pardoned for the Mi Lai massacre. Don’t ask me to support any US intervention against tyrannic regimes for a while.

  471. Gallagher trial: Law is slipping on us, and with it, the credibility of the US military. One can stab a captive, then pose by the corpse, and get off on a technicality? And were Iraqi civilians shot by that fellow?

  479. If we do not care enough to FIX IT,, Mueller’s testimony will come and go with the same partisan garbage and tyranny and disaster looming. Putin wants US at war, and he will have it. IMPEACH!!

  480. The question for the Trumpsters and for America, this Fourth, is DO YOU CARE if we give up on liberty and allow tyranny? Do you care if Russia turned the election and Trump s a fraud? If America is over? DO YOU CARE!

  481. A correction, though: At 3:00-3:13 of the video of the Mueller speech, he states in general terms that when obstruction and lies occur, it goes to the core of the ability of government to get at the truth of a matter and hold wrongdoers accountable. Duh.

  482. READ the Mueller report and try to help Congress with the questions and direction of the inquiry. Don was told the election would be turned for him, and rewards Putin as gangsters do. Don obstructed the inquiry because he is guilty.

The History of the Alphabet and the Mystery of Hebrew

mmcdonald72014 2 Comments

   The origin of the Alphabet may turn out to have something to do with Abraham and the descendants of Abraham in Egypt, connecting two studies: the reading of Genesis and the linguistic archaeology evident from a patient reading of the history of the alphabet. The origin of the alphabet is known to have something to do with Egypt, Crete, Phoenicia or Byblos, and ancient Greece.

From Wikipedia:

The history of alphabetic writing goes back to the consonantal system used for Semitic languages in the Levant in the 2nd millennium BCE. Most or nearly all alphabetic scripts used throughout the world today ultimately go back to this Semitic proto-alphabet.[1] Its first origins can be traced back to a Proto-Sinaitic script developed in Ancient Egypt to represent the language of Semitic-speaking workers in Egypt. This script was partly influenced by the older Egyptian hieratic, a cursive script related to Egyptian hieroglyphs.[2][3]

The earliest example of alphabetic writing seems to occur at just the same time, in Egypt, in an inscription along the banks of the Nile:

The Proto-Sinaitic script of Egypt has yet to be fully deciphered. However, it may be alphabetic and probably records the Canaanite language. The oldest examples are found as graffiti in the Wadi el Hol and date to perhaps 1850 BCE.[8] The table below shows hypothetical prototypes of the Phoenician alphabet in Egyptian hieroglyphs. Several correspondences have been proposed with Proto-Sinaitic letters.

…The Phoenician and Aramaic alphabets, like their Egyptian prototype, represented only consonants, a system called an abjad. The Aramaic alphabet, which evolved from the Phoenician in the 7th century BCE, to become the official script of the Persian Empire, appears to be the ancestor of nearly all the modern alphabets of Asia:

   The dates for the original Hebrew alphabet are MUCH earlier than the modern Hebrew alphabet. Our hypothesis is that it has something to do with Abraham and Melchizedek, and the communication of a Noah tradition to Abraham who came forth from Ur of the Chaldeans, about 1900 BC. The rough date for the entrance of Israel into Egypt is 1800, and for the Exodus, about 1350, if the stay was 400 years. But the rough dates matter for our purposes more than the exact dates. What is important to know is that there was apparently a written Hebrew alphabet in which Moses could have written the principle books of the Pentateuch. The account that opens Genesis may have been passed on from or through Abraham, either orally or even written, and we look for Joseph in Egypt to have had something to do with the transmission of original Hebrew to Moses.

   Remember that when Joseph is in Egypt, the descendants of Ishmael are somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula. Al-lah is a contraction of Al -ilah, meaning the “The God,” the God most High of Melchizedek and Abraham, the father of both Isaac and Ishmael. El-ilah is the name of God that is the Israeli equivalent, and both are Hebrews, descended from Eber, under whom the Hebrew language split off from the other languages among the descendants of Noah. The genealogies in Genesis are to be taken seriously, especially by those who do not assume they know the meaning before inquiry. Josephus writes that the Chaldeans are descended from Arpachshad, the son of Shem, grandson of Noah. The Chaldeans are distinct from the Babylonians and Sumerians who were in the area, called the land of Shinar, before the flood.

   One most amazing element in the question of the origins of writing is that book of Enoch, 7th from Adam, who prophesied the flood of Noah, and the end times as well, though it difficult to separate the two. The reference in Jude oddly requires all “word of God” Bible believers to believe in the book of Enoch, though one point where the mortality of our scripture is MOST apparent is WHENEVER scripture cites scripture, as it is never accurate, even in a single instance! The Bible IS the word of God, only not in just the way WE want it to be, or as we first think, before the true meaning is even an available option.

II: Writing in the Bible

   There is not a single reference to writing in Genesis. The first in the Bible is in Exodus, when Moses is told to write down all the words God spoke at Sinai beginning with the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20; 24). Then Moses took the book and read it to the people. God wrote the first two tables on Stone:

The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and wait there; And I will give you the tables of Stone with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.”

(Exodus 24:12

…And he gave to Moses when he had made an end of speaking with him upon Mt. Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tables of stone written with the finger of God

(Exodus 31:18)

   These of course were smashed at the foot of Sinai when Moses found the people worshiping the golden calf. This, and not writing, is what is meant by graven image (32:4), though the Israelite apparently did not do hieroglyphs on stone at all otherwise, though Abraham came from where cuneiform writing was done. Moses would have been taught to write in Egypt. One expects that the writing on the tablets would be alphabetic and the most ancient Hebrew. But the writing on the tablets is in the Ark, buried in a cave within sight of the secret tomb of Moses. No one has likely ever looked for the fragments of the original tablets at the foot of Sinai.

This ought to be ranked among the 30 or so best lyrics of all time, if difficult to say much about. A good wedding song. I’d like to hear it electrified, as by The Birds. :

 

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don’t remember growing older
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?
Wasn’t it yesterday
When they were small?

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day

They look so natural together
Just like two newlyweds should be
Is there a canopy in store for me?

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

Cake: I Will Survive Lyrics from Songmeanings.com

mmcdonald72014 Leave a comment

   I was surprised how little cake changed the simplified lyric, so the amusing thing about this version is the tone of voice, and a few small changes. Some how, this is just what the lover needs when left alone, but one must note that he is still writing to the beloved, appearing before that one in imagination, etc. The Cake is here, with the original too pasted below, from Songmeanings.com.

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you’d done me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along

And so you’re back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face

I should have changed that fucking lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You’d be back to bother me

Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now, you’re not welcome anymore

Weren’t you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh not I
I will survive
Yeah
As Long as I know how to love

I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I’m trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I’ve spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high

And you see me
With somebody new
I’m not that stupid little person
Still in love with you
And so you thought you’d just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I’m saving all my lovin’
For someone whose lovin’ me

Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now, you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?

Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh not I
I will survive
Yeah
As long as I know how to love
I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive

Yeah, yeah
Oh no

From Wikipedia:

Cake version:

 Cake covered the song rock-style in 1996, on their album Fashion Nugget. In addition to many subtle changes, lead singer John McCrea altered the lyrics (leading Gaynor to describe the cover as her least favorite version of the song, due to the presence of “profanity”). The music video of Cake’s version features McCrea as a city parking enforcement officer driving around in a Cushman three-wheeled scooter as he leaves tickets on various cars.

Here is the original, written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris and famously sung as disco by  Gloria Gaynor. Hence it is originally a masculine lover.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you’re back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I’d have known for just one second you’d be back to bother me

Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

Oh, leave the Lord to give me strength not to fall apart
Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high and you see me
Somebody new
I’m not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expecting to be free
Well, now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone who’s loving me

Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
And as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive

Oh
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
And as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
I will survive

Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
And as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got so much love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
I will survive

76 Candidates for the 17 Greatest pure Rock Songs: Happy Fourth!

mmcdonald72014 Leave a comment

Next year, we’ll have 76- per obvious- if the creek don’t rise!

   It is Twitter DJ time, with leisure on the Fourth. Our local classic rock station used to do the top 100 countdown for the Fourth, and probably still do- without regard to lyrics and meaning. I will do Candidates for the top 17 Pure Rock songs Twitter DJ M. A. Mac. My Daddy: DJ CJ Mac.

   I will do candidates for the top 17 pure rock songs, spreading a net wide enough to catch at least these, if not the top ten. I will require that these be part of our folk tradition, in the sense that they are well known, anthems rather than ditties, composed , and with exalted lyrics that are good rather than harmful for the soul. Because the Fourth is a noisy holiday, we will leave out all the mellow stuff, the pure folk part of folk rock that is classical rock.We will call this “rock proper,” or “pure rock,” if only for lack of better phrases. Hence, Pink Floyd’s Breathe, Eclipse, and the other great tunes that are a part of the classic rock tradition are left out, because they are not noisy. The Fourth is noisy, not moody blues. So it is the led rather than the Zeppelin we are collecting here for our Twitter DJ show, and we will of course try to select these not because we like them personally, but because they might be among the best objectively. The personal is of course our access to the objective, but not nearly as interesting. Where the popular is the standard, the result is a sort of lowest common denominator that makes a whore of the DJ, and prevents his true function, which is not, for example to flatter but to ennoble a wedding.

   I will list these as they come to mind, then they will appear backward on Twitter, like a countdown. There are not that many. # 1 on the radio stations was always like Floyd or Stairway, but that is not so. Watch:

11:03 AM – 4 Jul 2019

#00 is Hendrix doing Dylan’s All along the Watchtower. This is because the exhilaration of Rock is not Bacchic but apocalyptic. I can explain it to ya, but Ja, I cannot understand it for ya. (Of course, I can’t even understand it for myself!). But I have it way down there at # 30!?

#1: Kashmir – Led Zeppelin via

“Oh Father of the four winds, fill my sails…”

#2 Jethro Tull – Aqualung via
“You poor old sot,
You see its only me.”
And as he dies, the line is: “And the flowers bloom like madness in the Spring.” The Aqualung grabs his rasping last breaths with deep-sea-diver sounds.,..

#3: The Who – Love Reign Over Me via

Jimmy has found the unity of the four parts and his “Quadrophrenia.”

#4: Led Zeppelin- Dazed and Confused via

The essential White blues. You thought the hipsters were about “free love?” Try following this guy while lied to.

#5: David Bowie – Moonage Daydream (Live) (Great quality) via
The live version of this song is it, while the studio, in the context of the album, is even better. A lovesong, too.

 #6 Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (with lyrics) via

‘Nuff said. A walk on part in The Wall” for the lead role in a cage. Like Achilleus’ choice, too.

#7: The White Stripes – ‘Seven Nation Army‘ via
Bleeding words right before the Lord:
Simon says the same.

#8: Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video) via

“So, you think you can love me and leave me to die?”

Well, that is what tragic love is, and most is tragic. It is because of our guilt, our part as human in the murder of Cain, and an expiation. See the trial? Simon says the same: “Somewhere They Can’t Find Me.”

#9: Eric Burden and the Animals – House of the Rising Sun via

Is this the first “Rock” song? From penance blues. The Hippies get their ethics from the blues, as in Steppenwolf, “The Pusher.”

#10: Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run via
Someday, girl, I don’t know when
We’re gonna get to that place we really wanna go/
And we’ll walk in the sun…but till then.
An everlasting kiss.
#11: Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV – Stairway To Heaven via
Ok, we’ll list it for the Zeppelin part. The meaning is not what most think. Listen, and tell what it means in a couple sentences:
It is the appearance of the light and Christ offered by the Lady, but it is human convention, and so illusion, “as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls.” “But if you listen very hard…”the piper”:
Page does not, but Plant, who wrote this, knows.

#12: Uriah Heep – Easy Livin’ via

Love is of course the activity of the image of God in man, and the principle of lyric poetry. Hence a song about falling in love can also be about the breakthrough that is salvation: We thought “Christian” rock bands should ALL play this (but they don’t like wizards?)

#13: Alice Cooper – School’s Out [Lyrics] [HD] via

The profundity of the song: going with “18,” meant to be a high school graduation anthem, taken from a gangster movie where the Phrase “School’s out” means “now things get real.”

#14: The Who : The Real Me via

Jimmy the Mod goes to the doctor, then the mother, then the preacher in an attempt to cure his teen age Quadrophrenia. Given that the preacher showed him “to the Golden Gate,” one sees what Plant means about the evangelicals in Stairway. Not that Jimmy needs a robed exorcist! The plea of Jimmy is surely not comprehensible to our science of psychiatry, which is why music is better at the healing of the soul than our over-paid “doctors.” They killed Nick Drake, for Chrissakes!

 

#15 Beatles Day Tripper

Is this the first Beatles excursion from pop into pure rock, as distinct from pop psychadelia? Twist and Shout? Work it on out! But romantic dis-illusionment is a motion of the soul, and distinct from the dancing of the body. It is hard to find Beatles doing noisy rock with high lyrics. Actually, number fifteen should be “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” 

#16 Pink Floyd – Hey You via

One wonders if maybe people who think woman-ness is a primary qualification for intell. and security work are really in the right business to begin. Granted it is ditto for maleness. … Not like the liberal arts departments for the past 20 years, safe to use for gender politics.

Caption: George III when he/she read Jefferson: (Or was it when he learned his favorite petticoat was not back yet from the cleaners?)

   ‘Least ‘e remembered t’ poof ‘is f’n whig! Dudes were cross-dressin back then! French fashions.

   Calley the cat has seen it- the fireworks on the Fourth- 19 times, but wants me to make it stop “Not till the Redcoats go home.”

   Man, there’s skirmishes with Redcoats all about in the woods here by the burbs, where the neighbors set off more fireworks than the amount of money I live off in a year. I tell the squirrels et. al, : “Freemen feed the birds and squirrels better!”

   Did I mention that “King” George wears tights? Poofs his wig at the vanity? Lets his horse ride him? Liberty or death, and make the other sucker die for his, come fight freemen, you slaves, or join us against tyranny!

Now, a word from a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson:

#17: Somebody to Love Jefferson Airplane:

When the garden flowers, baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of red
Don’t you want somebody to love
Don’t you need somebody to love
Wouldn’t you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby
I’m afraid you don’t know where it is…

Tears are running down and down and down your breast
And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest…

   These are to be the 76 candidates for the top 17 Rock songs of all time. My first list is in the order that I thought of them, to be reshuffled and selected. I do like the method of spreading a wide net to catch the best:

#76: Here’s some we left out: Hendrix “Third Stone from the Sun” is available only with the amplified message from the aliens on Youtube. Maybe we can get it off “Experience.”

# 70 Amboy Dukes– Journey To The Center Of The Mind https://youtu.be/Beh1ipK3hN0 via @YouTube

This is Crazy Ted BEFORE he took up hunting! Dude did not learn that from a journey to the center of mind! Oh well, he never said we’d MAKE it !

Beyond thought and “what” is of course interesting, because the Lord too is said to be beyond being or logos. He calls it the center, too, as of a circle. He warns of the danger of becoming trapped in the products of the imagination: Jung speaks of getting “possessed” by an “archetype-” the sources of the products of the imagination in the knowledge that is within the soul. We integrate the contents, by understanding, or else these disintegrate us. Hence the danger of psychedelic drugs especially for those who do too much are not friends with themselves, and do not have the patience to sleep off a bad trip. One wonders if Ted did not get possessed as by an Artemis the huntress archetype! Apologies from Michigan!

Protesters at Richard Nixon’s July 4th celebration at the Lincoln Memorial in 1970.

…and are doing it now, because WE DON”T GET IT! Could Facebook cause a civil war with targeted marketing? Well, do you think Putin is more villainous but less stupid than Zuck?

Git yer guys in the executive agencies and secure elections and communications from data collection and targeted interference. Restore the security of the 4th Amendment, or you will never have another free election. They messed with the voters themselves, channeled opinion,

Trump would have been eliminated in the primaries. Instead, Putin ran him up the flagpole, and the stupid Americans salute. I do not want to hear another “D” assume they lost a fair election and discuss adjustments on that basis.

As noted by no less an authority than Jimmy Carter.

The cruelty is the goal. It’s called “deterrence” – a policy stance that if our country inflicts enough pain on refugees, they will think twice before believing America is worth their dreams & aspirations. Only policy change can end cruelty, not blank checks to the status quo.

The cruelty is the point. The cruelty is the point. The cruelty is the point.

We cannot be proud of our military might because it no longer upholds justice, the “end of government,” according to Madison: “‘Till liberty be lost in the pursuit.”

Bastille Day and Independence Day are holidays to celebrate we the people rejecting Monarchies and tyrants via revolutions. What are we celebrating in DC now with tanks?

Last surviving prosecutor at Nuremberg trials says Trump’s family separation policy is ‘crime against humanity’

IMPEACH!! REMOVE!! VOID!! This is the consequence of our not acting according to the truth: Trump and the Trumpsters are tyrants. Our tradition of Liberty does not allow that we acquiesce.

Shock & shame—& rage. All Americans should weep at this stomach churning, heartbreaking Inspector General Report documenting indecency & inhumanity. But more: Demand accountability. Punish all responsible, & lift up families & children.

-> Safe to assume THIS man knows exactly what he’s talking about.

Last surviving prosecutor at Nuremberg trials says Trump’s family separation policy is ‘crime against humanity’

Notice that the best songs and the best “Classic Rock” is not pure rock at all.

Pretty good way to conclude. I’m trying to stop the list, but it keeps flowing. We’re on the edges of the Genre, though. No more stuff like Entwistle’s base in “Real Me,” etc, stuff that might make the top 10 and is not mellow, but ROCK, for the Fourth, like fireworks!
