Mars is Earth in a few years under Greedy Capitalism... there, I said it.

I've tried to tell you over and over that there are no accidents, the world is where it is because of the war between good and evil.  And, of course, evil wins.  And so if all your Christians leaders are supporting war, well, they are evil.  

Case in point:  climate change is happening right before our eyes and what are our greedy leaders doing?  Are they saying, "Oh shit, we were wrong, it's happening!  I need to do something about it!"  No, they are doing what they have done over and over and over dating back to our existence on Mars.  That's right, back when they climate-changed that planet for profit too.  

In a recent article in Syfy, scientist Gibert Levin says there was life on Mars and he saw the evidence when we sent a prob there forty-years ago.  Wait, did you say... FORTY!  

Yes, I said, FORTY, like in bible... Forty Days and Forty Nights... Forty years in the wilderness...  and, God destroyed every living thing on the earth with rain for forty days....

Forty years ago the first LR (Land Robber... I mean, Land Rover)  beamed back its results from Mars, they were surprisingly positive (something most people have either forgotten or just have no idea about). The further the Viking team got into the experiment, the more positive results they received from the two spacecraft that were situated 4,000 miles apart. There were four positives in all that were supported by five different control variables.  I.E:  we knew immediate there had been life on Mars!

So what happened to Mars?

CLIMATE CHANGE!

I was there in a previous life. We all were.  I talked to a woman the other day at my Buddhist bookstore at the Soka Gakkai center where I practice; she was helping me find the right Buddhist Altar for my home and as we were talking she said, "I believe we've chanting together in the past, I don't know where, I don't know when...." 

That has stuck with me every since.   I now believe one of our chanting incarnations was on Mars, where we chanted for the same things we are chanting for today:  peace on earth, disabling nuclear bombs, and  protecting the environment.   All of which seems to be a losing battle, again.  But if everyone reading this post today, will pause for minute and say:  I'll protect the environment to avoid another Mars, it is a start.  

In yesterday's news, I read the most disturbing headline of my lifetime so far:
 

Melting Ice Redraws the World Map and Starts a Power Struggle

This article stated "factually" how icebergs are melting and Rick Perry, the US Energy Secretary -- with good hair I might add -- is making sure the US is getting its share of the new resources.  

Really!  That's it.  Nothing about changing our greedy ways to protect the planet, but business as usual talk.  

That's right, these greedy bastards are seeing dollar signs and so instead of doing the right thing by protecting the planet are lining their pockets with more more climate change money!

Are they nuts?  Do they really think they will survive?  Maybe the spaceship they are creating so they can escape while we all suffocate -- as I have reported in a previous post: read here -- is why they are doing this.  I don't know.  Fact is, the planet is dying because of climate change and they don't seem to want to do anything about it except make more profits!

What's wrong with us!

Trump’s Legacy

Trying to make sense out of the upcoming Turkish vs. Kurdish war?   You’re not alone.  Both are US allies and both have supposedly helped us fight the George “Clueless” Bush’s “War On Terror.”   Now we are told everything that has gone before was correct, but... well, obviously not (?).   

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

Donald Trump has blamed President Obama for the mess in the Middle East.  I would agree, to me we needed to send in troops and make a “Safe Zone” for the people.  Trump said that was wrong, and so now Trump has pulled the US out, and in doing so, the killing has begun.

“What can you do, thought Winston, against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself; who gives your arguments a fair hearing and simply persists in his lunacy?”

If you remember, the first president Bush who gave us the first Iraq War, told the Kurds to “revolt” and the US would protect them.  They revolted,  but we didn’t support them and so thousands were slaughtered while we celebrated a victory that really wasn’t a victory, but an ongoing war that would be fought again under a second “George Bush” presidency (yes, the “clueless” one).  

   “Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.”

Today, we have no clue what is going on over there, and why?  Because we don’t want to know.  Some of us chant for the people, others pray, but still, we do nothing.  We have been snowed by the  “Make American Great” slogan.  Truth is,  those who are given much are expected to give...   well...   something.  

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.”

No one wants to hear this, and I’m sorry I have to write this, but the US will not survive these four years of Donald Trump.  He has destroyed us for money in his pocket and fame in his mirror. This is the bad news, the good news is that with the failure of our greediest president ever,  we will once again have no choice but to be... humble. 

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

“The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering—a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons—a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting—three hundred million people all with the same face.”

 “Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.”

“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.”

Trump remains found in a sewer... sort of.

How many times do I have to point this out to you people:  there are no accidents and the signs of a universal law are everywhere.  Take for example, your current US president, Donald J Trump.  The guy is the word he seems to fear the most:  "Loser."  He lost the popular vote by millions and would never have been elected in a fair election.  The guy is destroying the United States rule of law.  Some are now saying he will be the last Republican president ever since the Republicans seem to be as slimy as he is when it comes to stopping the madness.  

Now fast forward to today's news that a lost Egyptian temple has been found while digging a new sewer system in Egypt -- how appropriate for Donald Trump.   As the CNN article states:  

The ancient tomb structure was accidentally found by construction workers during drilling on a sewage drain in the village of Kom Shakau in the Tama township in northern Sohag, according to a Facebook post made on September 29 by Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities.

The team has so far uncovered a north-south wall, an east-west wall and the southwestern corner of the limestone structure, which is engraved with carvings of Hapi, the Egyptian god of the annual flooding of the Nile, carrying offerings while surrounded by birds and flowers.

So what does this have to do with Donald Jockstrap Trump?  Guess who the pharaoh was?  It was Ptolemy IV, the capital "L"for Loser in pharaoh history.  The pharaoh was more concerned with his huge ego than his country and is known for building the biggest phallic symbol of his day:   the largest human powered ship ever made which took 4,000 oarsmen to operate and was as useless as a brick-wall to keep foreigners out.

Yes, the universal is laughing at us and so has given us another clue to wake up before it is too late.  Digging up a "loser" pharaoh while a current "loser" pharaoh is being impeached is no accident. 

That's my faith-based post for today!

change is a coming, a good, happy, New Atlantis...

In case you missed the news last week, the lost continent of Atlantis has been found.  

That's right folks, Plato wasn't bullshitting when he spoke of the land called Atlantis, where a mighty empire vanished beneath the waves after a series of “excessively violent earthquakes and floods.” 

Douwe van Hinsbergen, a geologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has been exploring one of the most dramatic of these lost continents — known as Greater Adria. In a paper published in early September in the journal Gondwana Research, he and his colleagues studied rocks around and beneath the Mediterranean Sea to reveal the full extent of Greater Adria for the first time. “It’s enormous! About the size and rough shape as Greenland,” he says.

If you don’t recall seeing Greater Adria on a map, there’s a reason for that. It is completely buried — not under the ocean, but beneath southern Europe. About 140 million years ago, the two continents began to collide. Greater Adria got bulldozed and buried in the process and mostly sank beneath what is now Italy, Greece and the Baltics.

 So pull out your crystals boys and girls, because from Plato to Edgar Casey to Isaac Asimov people have been telling us about the lost city of Atlantis, where everyone was rich and took care of each other.  Funny, how the finding of this continent comes at a time when "Climate Change," "Over Population," and "Greed" have given us a distressed world where people are killing people just for the fame and the United States of America has given us a modern Adolf Hitler. 

So, what am I saying here?  

Simple:  change is a coming, a good, happy, New Atlantis... which includes medical care for all and free education.  Okay, so you rich bastards will have to downsize you five-thousand square feet homes down to something more manageable like, say twenty-five hundred square feet.  I mean, how many rooms do you need for your kid? 

Wake Up America, don't get left behind.  Stop Supporting Hate.  Stop Supporting "Climate Change Denying" politicians.  Stop supporting Republicans!  Please, before it is too late.

The Tale

According to the Egyptians, or rather what Plato described Critias reporting what his grandfather was told by Solon who heard it from the Egyptians, once upon a time, there was a mighty power based on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. This empire was called Atlantis, and it ruled over several other islands and parts of the continents of Africa and Europe.

Atlantis was arranged in concentric rings of alternating water and land. The soil was rich, said Critias, the engineers technically accomplished, the architecture extravagant with baths, harbor installations, and barracks. The central plain outside the city had canals and a magnificent irrigation system. Atlantis had kings and a civil administration, as well as an organized military. Their rituals matched Athens for bull-baiting, sacrifice, and prayer.

But then it waged an unprovoked imperialistic war on the remainder of Asia and Europe. When Atlantis attacked, Athens showed its excellence as the leader of the Greeks, the much smaller city-state the only power to stand against Atlantis. Alone, Athens triumphed over the invading Atlantean forces, defeating the enemy, preventing the free from being enslaved, and freeing those who had been enslaved.

After the battle, there were violent earthquakes and floods, and Atlantis sank into the sea, and all the Athenian warriors were swallowed up by the earth.

A Buddhist on Climate Change

In my Nichiren Buddhist training, I've learned to roll with the punches.  That is to say, happiness has nothing to do with what is going on around us or the material things we have.  Happiness is just what we are with our Buddhist nature.  So, we tend to see the good in all things.  For one, without the bad things, the good things would hardly be noticed.  That is one part, the other part is out of bad things there is always a good thing.  You know, you have a car accident which seems bad but then they find a spot on the x-ray which saves your life.  So it is an attitude thing.  

A great example of this is with today's Climate Change.  We all know it is bad and we all know that greedy leaders like Donald Trump have no internal guidance to do anything about it and so it will continue to get worse and all we can do is stop using straws and chant/pray.  This is true, but there will be things brought to light by this.  For instance, the Greed Worship that has got us here is being exposed and more and more people are seeing that we need to stop chasing fame and fortune and start being more compassionate.  We need to "give more" and "take less."  

Easier said than done, I know.

On another note, because of Climate Change, receding waters has shown us a new "Stonehenge" in Spain.  That's right, receding waters levels in Spain’s Valdecañas Reservoir has exposed a stone monument dating back to between 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.

Why "Black Lives Matter" matters!

When I was in a rock band at 19, we wrote a song called: There's Nothing New Under the Sun: It's all been done.  

How true it is.  Let's go back to the year 1971 on this day.  An IBM Chemist living in San Jose California had taken his date home and well, was murdered by a white-police officer.  

esoteric look at today

 An esoteric look at things today:  Scientist keep finding new continents, a few months ago they found Zealandia, not to be confused with... Zoolander. 

Zoolander

This past weekend they found Greater Adria in the Mediterranean which just might be, wait for it, Atlantis!  

This is good news for those of us who knew Atlantis was more than just a fictional myth.  

In other esoteric news, on this day in 1928 the Republican R. Babson said "if a Democrat is elected there will be a depression."  Of course, this scared the shit out of voters much as Republicans are scaring the shit out of voters today by calling Bernie Sanders a "Socialist"; and, back in 1928 it worked and so the democrat lost the depression and the Republican president Hoover cut taxes and ushered in our first great depression.  Lesson learned here:  vote for Bernie: f--kk em!

That's is for today boys and girls.
