Proof Trump is Draining The Swamp

Okay, so it was weird when Trump showed up as a woman living in Spain:

Well, now he's turned up as a fish in China (proof he really is draining the swamp).

Single Day and John Cleese Hates Stupid People.

 If you are single like me, it is our day.  Nov 11th, more precisely, 11/11 or 4 1's.  Like the other money-grabbing holidays such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Single's Day is the day lonely singles should go online and purchase something good for themselves.  This year, Alibaba -- the Amazon of China -- says sales hit a billion in nine hours.   That's right, it is right up there with Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  

What am I doing with my special day, well, I've already done my old-man stretches, done my Buddhist chants, and now am blogging.   I won't be shopping online, but I will be visiting the Salvation Army to buy a new shirt.  Call me a 1%.  

In other news, finally a voice of reasoning: 

Monty Python Icon John Cleese Has Brutal Assessment Of Trump’s Fox News Fans

In this Huffpost article, Cleese states the obvious: 

To me, it’s like people who go and watch professional wrestling and don’t realize that it’s fixed. If they can’t see it when it’s right under their nose, I have no idea how they’re going to realize how wrong they are.

He's talking about the Fox News Watching Trump Supporters who are destroying the world with hate, greed, hellishness, and their phony blue-eyed Jesus.  

Thank you John...

God help us all!

Revolution in Asia: #メガネ禁止 (#GlassesBan)

Hong Kong Protest: We are with you brothers and sisters!

Great news from Asia, along with the revolution in Hong Kong where thousands are marching for their freedom (in case you're not up on the Hong Kong thing, it is something like this: since early June of this year protest have been happening over the extradition bill which would allow Hong Kong citizens to be sent to mainland China for trial.  That's right, judged by their peers who had to simplify the writing for uneducated farmers who still run the country.  It's like the staff of MSNBC news being judge by the staff of Fox News -- please tell me I don't have to break down the difference there: one is the voice of moderate America, the other is the voice of the e-i-e-i-o fascist Kool-Aid drinker.)  

もう違います

Mō chigaimasu

So, along with the Hong Kong revolution, Japanese woman have joined in the march by refusing to Not, Not Wear Glasses at work.  That's right, their Samurai bosses were demanding that they not cover up their beautiful eyes with ugly glasses for the customers.  Well, in the past, as we all know, the honorable thing women would do is like the rest of us and "Listen to the Man."  But not now, it's the #メガネ禁止 (#GlassesBan), and we are all better for it.

The Day Lincoln saw his death.

It was on this day (November 7th) in 1816 that Abraham Lincoln saw his death in a mirror. 

The day after his first election to the presidency in 1860, Lincoln called his good friend journalist Noah Brooks (1830-1903) into his office. He had been startled by a vision of seeing two of his faces at once in a mirror and wanted to tell Brooks about it. Brooks made a written record of the conversation, later including it in his White House memoirs, Washington in Lincoln’s Time (1895). Adapted from Brooks’ work, these are Lincoln’s words:

It was just after my election in 1860, when the news had been coming in thick and fast all day and there had been a great “hurrah, boys,” so that I was well tired out, and went home to rest, throwing myself down on a lounge in my chamber. Opposite where I lay was a bureau with a swinging glass upon it (and here he got up and placed furniture to illustrate the position), and looking in that glass I saw myself reflected nearly at full length; but my face, I noticed had two separate and distinct images, the tip of the nose of one being about three inches from the tip of the other. I was a little bothered, perhaps startled, and got up and looked in the glass, but the illusion vanished. On lying down again, I saw it a second time, plainer, if possible, than before; and then I noticed that one of the faces was a little paler — say five shades — than the other.

I got up, and the thing melted away, and I went off, and in the excitement of the hour forgot all about it — nearly, but not quite, for the thing would once in a while come up, and give me a little pang as if something uncomfortable had happened. When I went home again that night I told my wife about it, and a few days afterward I made the experiment again, when (with a laugh), sure enough! the thing came back again; but I never succeeded in bringing the ghost back after that, though I once tried very industriously to show it to my wife, who was somewhat worried about it. She thought it was a “sign” that I was to be elected to a second term of office, and that the paleness of one of the faces was an omen that I should not see life through the last term.

 

What's in your mirror today?

Buddha Quote That Explains Trump

Buddha taught that the object of our senses are a trap; the Venerable Phra Bodhinyanathera taught that animals are caught in the hunters trap by their desires, and that if we are attached to our senses we are just like the fish caught on a hook.

 A man comes walking along a road.  He is very thirsty from his journey and is craving for a drink of water.  He stops at a place beside the road and asks for a drink.  The owner of the water says, “You can drink this water if you like; the color is good, the smell is good, the taste is good, but if you drink it you will become ill.  I must tell you this beforehand, it’ll make you sick enough to die.”  The thirsty man does not listen.   He votes for Trump anyway.

17th century Korean novel and Trumps impeachment

So I'm reading "The Cloud Dream of Nine."  It a 17th-century Korean novel set in Tang Dynasty China. What really got me is the passage on Law and Honor.  In reading it, I thought of why we must impeach Donald Trump.  

Here's the passage:

  The Primary Laws are the foundation stone on which 
your Imperial Majesty's Government rests.... If once we lose
its right relation all prosperity for the State ends,
confusion and disorder must follow. If we fail to exercise
care inregard to this fundamental matter, the house 
affected by it will not long endure. Matters of State 
prosperity rest here also. Therefore the Sages, and 
the specially enlightened ones, thought carefully of
 this in the governing of a country, and regarded the 
correct observance of the Primal Laws as the most
 important thing of all...the laws that rule society 
will be hopelessly damaged ; that in high places truth
 will be forfeited, and that in low places violence and  
wrong-doing may result....

Sounds like today doesn't it.  "Confusion and Disorder" from a Dishonorable Government.  No doubt it is going to happen.  If we hold Trump accountable for his dirty deeds, he and his supporters have said there will be a civil war.  If we don't impeach him the rest of us will revolt!  The only problem, this is no dream folks. 

Trump's Visit to the 2019 World Series for the Hearing Impaired.

So, I guess you've heard that president Trump was invited to the fifth game of the World Series but wasn't allowed to throw in the first pitch.  Want to know why?  

They were afraid he would steal home base, along with all the other bases, dug out, jumbotron, and everything else he could get away with.  

The 1% escape plan

So, if you are like me you have to wonder why the top 1% of wealth owners don’t care about the destruction of the earth they are profiting from.  I mean, they work so hard to leave their children a shit-load of money so they continue the life of privilege they deserve, so why don’t they want to leave them a earth that isn’t a dust-bowl from Climate Change?

The answer is simple.  They have an escape plan.  That’s right, it their glutton minds, they believe they can hop on a raft boat and float away to another planet — they probably are already cultivating — and live happily ever after there, and leave us here to fend for ourselves as they have wanted all along since Henry Ford wrote the book on the value of the working class and people of color:  cogs in a wheel, expendable once they can’t work the assembly line of profit for them. 

I’ve written about this Secret escape plan before  (See Modern Day Noah’s Ark.)
In today’s news, the two-year shack-down cruise was successful.    So don’t expect them to change their Climate Denying Plans anytime soon:  Here are the details:

The U.S. Air Force's X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle Mission 5 is seen after landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida on Sunday.

After a record-breaking 780 days circling the Earth, the U.S. Air Force's mysterious X-37B unmanned space plane dropped out of orbit and landed safely on the same runway that the space shuttle once used.

It was the fifth acknowledged mission for the vehicle, built by Boeing at the aerospace company's Phantom Works.

"Today marks an incredibly exciting day for the 45th Space Wing," Brig. Gen. Doug Schiess, 45th Space Wing commander, said in a statement. "Our team has been preparing for this event, and I am extremely proud to see their hard work and dedication culminate in today's safe and successful landing of the X-37B."

As in previous missions, many of the details about the vehicle's activities in the past two years are being kept under wraps. One experiment was to "test experimental electronics and oscillating heat pipe technologies in the long-duration space environment," according to the Air Force statement.
Randy Walden, the director of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, said the latest X-37B mission "successfully hosted Air Force Research Laboratory experiments, among others, as well as providing a ride for small satellites."

Video Footage of Republicans Crashing Impeachment

 It’s getting crazier everyday.  We all know Donald Trump is a bad, bad, person: he’s an unethical, greedy, womanizing, narcissist -- by his own admission -- who is taking American down with him one lie at a time.  So the Democrats have to impeach him.  There’s no doubt.  Everyone not drinking the e-i-e-i-o kook-aide know this.  



  
The Republican's can't defend him any longer, and so what are they doing?  They are attaching the impeachment process.  Apparently, Bill's Clinton's blow job was impeachable, but Donald Trumps sell-out to the Russians isn't.  Yesterday, the Republican’s crashed a deposition where both Democrats and Republicans were asking asking fact-finding questions.  Of course you’ll never see the video footage of anywhere else but here.  Enjoy!

Republicans Crash Impeachment Deposition

It's namaste it's namaste

I wrote a song this morning called Namaste Namaste. It goes like this:


Namaste is here today
Namaste is here to stay

No matter what you do or say

It's Namaste It's Namaste

Try to hide your eye away

I see you do it everyday day

Still you can't look away

At the hate that comes your way

Namaste it's Namaste

Icebergs are melting fast

As we repeat the past

There once were dinosaurs

Now they're die-no-mores

Look out your window

It's winter time and there's no snow

Look in you mirror

See the boogieman outside your door

Namaste is here today
Namaste is here to stay

No matter what you do or say

It's Namaste it's Namaste

(kick ass guitar strum solo)

The god in me see's the things you do

The god in me see's the god in you

The god in me see's the things you do

The god in me see's the god in you

(repeat and fade).

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!
