Is It President Obama's Credibility On the Line?

Some may say this posting is a bit of playing Devil's advocate for me.  But you know how it is.  The media tells us most of everything we know (or they Wish it did) and so what can you do?  Now the word is out that Iraq is falling apart and the whole Iraq War pursued so heroicly under Messers Bush and Obama may wind up all for naught.  Because we worked so hard at the "Whackemo" game, knocking down threats wherever they sprung up, even if they delayed our departure from Iraq for several years.  Now it seems that Al Qaeda is getting the upper hand and taking the offensive.  They are "taking the fight to the enemy" as they see it.  And so far, so I'm told, the Shiites are not fighting back.  The Shiites have not responded to millitency with millitency.  But when they do- - all of our proud efforts to make some kind of democratic, "civilized" nation out of Iraq may just go down the drain.  So once again we will be back where we started from.  Only worse because Al Qaeda is much stronger all over the Mideast now than it ever was in 2003.  So President Obama on numerous occasions has had to backtrack from his many affirmations that Al Qaeda is vastly weakened and we've got them on the run.  Some of these same Media people also point to the comparrison between this Russian summet and other summets that were NOT canceled and turned out to be successes.  For instance Breshnev did not cancle the 1972 SALT talks with Nixon merely because the President had adopted a more pro Chinese and anti Soviet Stance.  And if Ronald Reagan had canceled a sumet with Breshnev- - all the Democrats would have yowelled like scalded cats.  And then we have the whole National Security Administration contraversy.  The latest information indicated that all this "new spirit of Glastnoss" to use the Soviet term- - is all but an elaborate act.  It's as phoney as a three dollar bill.  It hasn't happened, and it isn't going to happen, and according to some there is "No need for any additional openness with the American People as to the nature of our spying".  This same source says "Not one NSA abuse has ever been documented in either the Bush or the Obama administrations.  In terms of the show down with all of those tea party republicans on the various legislative issues of the day- - this is something we won't know at all for another four weeks.  By then, given these volitile political times- - most anything could occur.  A lot of it hangs on "just how sure the Obama administration is that no new glitches won't appear in the Affordable Care Act, that can and will be used against them in the 2014 Congressional campaign".   It's no secret that as a communator of his Message- - the President gets about a D minus at this point in time.  Almost all of what he has been saying, on almost any subject, is falling on deaf ears.  It's an open question whether- aside from the economic recovery over the past few years- - this President will have ANY legacy to merit pages on a future High School history book.

I had one question I wanted to "Ask God" yesterday.  It's a simple question that should be completely non threatening, but you never know.  The question is just this: "Where do I fit in to your plan?"  When you're asking a question of a Person you know nothing about, as is the case between Me and God, there hypothetically would be no answer that should be tagged as "Unexpected" when you get it.  Last evening I thought I'd do the "open the Bible up close my eyes and random finger point" type of thing.  Since it was just a New Testament I was reading at the time I felt at least a little safer.  Anyhow the finger landed on a passage in Romans and let me tell you- - it wasn't good.  Particularly as an answer to the "Where do I fit in" question.  I'm not going to repeat it word for word- - I'm going to leave that specific reference a mystery but it's worse than the famous "And Judas went and hanged himself' reference.  You ask, "What reference could possibly be worse than That?"  Let's just say that from God's own lips he Hates certain people now, and he's always hated them.  He hated them before they were born, "before they had done one thing either good or bad".   Before I did this little "finger point" thing I resolved it would be a one shot thing.  There would be no follows-ups or "do-overs".  So I guess God's answer is pretty clear.  So I guess any further attempts at communicating between me and God would be pointless.  As pointless as any future phone calls to the Rev Bill Halliday after that Thursday before Easter of 1995.  And there weren't.  Although by way of mitigation, this afternoon Bones came and informed me that this whole "God angel" was not the source of certain adverse incidents in my life, the Sutterans were.  The Sutterans are not as powerful as "God".  You have to "have your hedge down" for them to be able to stage an attack.  According to Fred Price, this is why Job was attacked by Satan, because he had his "hedge down" and God pointed to it and said "Look, he's dropped his hedge at that point".   That's about all I had to say on this otherwise uneventful Sunday afternoon.

(Added Later)  The Perseus meteor shower is tonight and we need to explain that the constelation refers to the point in the sky or direction the meteors appear to be coming from.  They appear to radiate out from a singular spot.  We at the Federation won't even claim that there is any cosmic connection between the physical meteor showers and the constelations they can be viewed in.  They are predicting that summer will finally arrive later this week, just in time for the start of school in the LA Unified School district tomorrow.  There had been talk of cutting three weeks OUT of the school year for budget considerations.  Now instead they have ADDED four whole weeks, tacked right on to the beginning of the school year.  I pity the poor kids.  But here's your first dimension in poly-demensional geometry.  We told you we took exception to Wikipidia saying there were 24 sides to a ninety degree four dimensional cube.  There are eighteen.  They consist of- - as a way of portraying it in two D, six different polygon grid shapes-  - - and each group of shapes gets repeated in the two "remaining' dimensions not taken up by the 2 D plane.  That makes eighteen.  But I had another formula going where the number of cartoon or diagram lines necessary to portray these varied shapes in their most compact and efficient, "contiguous" form- - would be by formula 16.  I came up with this formula over two, maybe three years ago.  But I had till now been unable to do it in less than seventeen.  But on Friday evening I came up with a way to accomplish it in sixteen.  So give me a brownie button.  You won't find either of these two math formulas in Wikipedia.

The offense that gave me bad karma was against the Sirius A group.  And there are a couple of things that triggered it.  For one thing I by inference "dissed" the Strength card in the ZAC Tarot Card deck.  This is the one we refer to as the "Biting Down" care and our varient of this card was of a scandily clad woman with long hair and boosemy- - kneeling along side a Lion with an arm around the Lion and the Lion is biting down on a big carcus piece like a leg bone or something.  But I committed yet another offense- - that I'd never committed in 38 years, and I guess I didn't know how much of a "No No" it was.  I guess I need to show a little more Respect for the Powers that Be.  I committed an even worse offense last September.  I could tell you How- - but both you and I would have to be lined up before a firing squad and shot if I did.  It could be therefore argued that both retributions were "inside jobs".  And that definitely sounds paranoid.

[Those] muffins sit over there- - and they haven’t been finished off and it’s been a whole day since they’ve been there.  And that in itself has to be some kind of a record.  This morning as far as that theft goes- - it’s almost as though I “felt it in my gut” before it happened, just as I feel the contents of the last paragraph -[in the orig Word document ie]  - - before it happens.  It’s kind of a parrellel to Sampson where the scripture says “And he wished not that his power had gone from him” after Delilah cut his hair.  He said “I will arise as at other times” but even before the words had left his mouth- something in his gut told him “this time you’re wrong”.  Or at least that’s my take on it.  I had KNX on before and after breakfast.  I listened to both President Obama’s morning address and the Republican response, which I don’t remember the content of at all, only that I did hear it.  Then there is the Rotiola drug- - and those companion herbs that are just as exotic like Maca and the like.  Then I was overcome with drowsiness and just turned off the radio.  Then I dragged myself to the liquor store and bought a pack of John Black grapes.  Then I played the “Pretenders II” CD, which was good to hear after all this time.  Basically I skipped over tracks nine and eleven.  I wanted to catch some of whatever KTLK had on- - and that was the creatine and B 12 combo, which is a good way to get energized.  Then it was Melinda Lee and she was informative about a lot of stuff today.
