Internment For All, coming to a state near you.

So it is the 19th of February, a day that will live in infamy.  This is the day that Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 authorizing the forced relocation of persons of Japanese descent living on the West Coast into internment camps.  Most of the men, women, and children covered by the edict were naturalized or American-born citizens.  

Fast forward to now, did you know that there still are prisoners at Guantanamo prison.  Some put there based on bullshit information by informants wanting the "Dick Chaney" bounty money.   At last count there are still 40 who have never been convicted of anything. 

No wonder Donald Trump is now president and using the US Justice department to find poop on his political rivals.  No wonder after his reelection every state in the US will probably have its own Guantanamo Internment camps for liberals like me.  

But you don't care about that, you're an American.  You want to know the important stuff like who's going to win the World Series now that the Houston Astros aren't allowed to cheat.  

  Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being in the position we once had someone else in.

It’s Saint Valentine’s Day... oh boy!

It's Saint Valentine's Day, the day dedicated to all lovers, and the traditional time for Witches around the world to practice all forms of love magic and love divination.


This day is sacred to Juno-Lupa, the she-wolf goddess of the ancient Roman religion.  In early times she was honored annually on this day by a women's fertility festival and the sacrifice of a female wolf.

A drawing depicts the death of St. Valentine — one of them, anyway. The Romans executed two men by that name on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D.

Though no one has pinpointed the exact origin of the holiday, one good place to start is ancient Rome, where men hit on women by, well, hitting them.

Those Wild And Crazy Romans

From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides of the animals they had just slain.

The Roman romantics "were drunk. They were naked," says Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Young women would actually line up for the men to hit them, Lenski says. They believed this would make them fertile.

The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival — or longer, if the match was right.

The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to You and Yours.

Lady Jane and the United States of Donald Trump

Lady Jane Grey, the Queen of England for thirteen days, is beheaded on Tower Hill on February 12, 1554. She was barely 17 years old and of the Jesus Christ (Tutor) royal blood.  The Duke of Northumberland, had taken the precaution of marrying one of his sons, Lord Guildford Dudley, to Jane, ensuring his place as the power behind the throne.  Dudley, however, had not reckoned on the steely determination of Mary to claim her inheritance as Queen, nor on the power of the common people who backed her.

 Yes, the people angered and so Jane’s reign, which had been conducted from within the walls of the Tower of London, was swiftly concluded.  She remained in the Tower — now as Mary’s prisoner — until a Protestant rebellion persuaded the queen to order the beheading of both Jane and her unfortunate husband.

Coinkydinky, a new ‘Protestant rebellion’ is happening before our eyes with Donald Trump and his followers who think he is a godly man as they allow him to destroy the rule of law in the USA because he is white.  That’s right folks, February 12th is not only the day Lady Jane was beheaded, but also the first day of the United States of Donald Trump (USDT), as his Attorney General who is suppose to work for the people of the USA is clearly now working for the President by ‘taking charge’ of a criminal case against one of Trumps cronies.

It won’t be long now before we see the real damages Trump is causing.  You watch and see.

 Definitely something to think about on this February 12th, 2020, the anniversary of our Sweet Lady Jane's beheading.  Oh, and also, I might add, on this same day in the year 1663, some 109 years after Lady Jane's beheading, the infamous clergyman Cotton Mather would be born in Boston, Massachusetts.  Yes, the daemonic preacher who's writings and sermons would give us the hysteria of the 1692 Salem Witch-hunt which would result in many more Lady Jane type deaths.

The choice is yours folks, either we tax the rich or die in their sewers.

If you have been reading the news, you know there is something bigger happening than Donald Trump's Impeachment.  There is something happening that affects us all, and as Einstein said, would be the end of the world. 

I'm talking about Bees.  That's right folks, due to Climate Denial Change as reported in The Washington Post, the number of areas populated by bumblebees has fallen 46 percent in North America and 17 percent in Europe, and the new research found that regions with sharp bee declines also experienced strong variations in climate — and especially higher temperatures and worse heat waves. 

secret white-haired men and their perfect white plan

Now combine this with Donald Trump's Deregulation he bragged about in his State of the Union speech the other night, and you see why the wealthy 1% are stock piling as much money as they can.  The bottom is about to fall out.  It's their plan.  They made that choice when Ronald Reagan was president:  "We Will Starve The Beast" by bankrupting the world, Reagan said.  In their secret white rooms with their secret white-haired, white men, they have a perfect white plan:  Destroy it all, let them die on the streets in their tent cities and Salvation Army meals.  They don't deserve affordable housing and free medical coverage at our expense.  

So when Donald Trump bragged about his "deregulation" creating today's economy, he is full of Donald Trump bullshit.  Trumps deregulation has allowed drilling on protected lands and worse of all, as reported everywhere but Fox News:

The Trump administration is approving the pesticide sulfoxaflor – thought by some experts to harm bees – for use on a wide variety of crops.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says the studies it considered, most of which were sponsored by industry, found the chemical is not dangerous for the pollinators responsible for $15bn in US crops each year.
Beekeepers in the US lost 40% of their colonies in the past year, raising concerns about the effects of pesticides.

The choice is yours folks, either we tax the rich or die in their sewers. 

February 5th, fifty years later.

What a difference 50's years makes.  Fifty years ago on February 5th, 1969, a Wednesday like today, ABC premiered Turn-On, a sketch show that one of its producers described as a "Visual, comedic, sensory assault involving animation, videotape, stop-action film, electronic distortion, computer graphics  -- even people." 

1969 was the height of the Sexual Revolution and the Conservative Worshipers of the Money Jesus weren't ready for it so had it yanked in the middle of the first episode.  The ABC affiliate in Cleveland, was so alarmed that he yanked Turn-On from the air at the first commercial break and sent the network management an angry telegram:  "If your naughty little boys have to write dirty words on the walls, please don't use our walls." 

Funny, that the children of these 1969 conservatives don't seem to have a problem with naughty people today, they even worship one in the name of Donald Trump.  That's right, the same guy that grabs woman by the "pussy" in his own words! now signs there bibles and as they are saying on Sunday morning from their pulpits "Is God Sent."

So, on this Wednesday 2020, some fifty years later, think about how your religious leaders are now supporting a guy who would have been yanked off the air in 1969.

You fools!!!  He's leading us all into his hell.

Donald Trump's Porn Star Girlfriend has been lonely since he became President.

 

On February 4th, 1803, in Guatemala City, the criminal court (church) began prosecuting Juana Aguilar for the crime of double concubinage with men and women. As the court pursued the case against Aguilar, whose sexual ambiguity quickly came to the fore, the judge referred the matter to the court of the Royal Protomedicato, the bureaucracy that regulated medical and health issues in the colonies. The Protomedicato requested that the physician Narciso Esparragosa examine Juana Aguilar, called by the court “a suspected hermaphrodite,” and present his findings.

She became know as Juana the Long for her persecution, and after the examination, the scandalous size of her clitoris.

Fitting, that on this day in 1967 the US launched the Lunar Orbiter #3 which looked like a woman’s...

I’m just saying.

Okay then, I’m a Socialist.

Warning:  I Support Me Some Bernie!  There, I said it. 

And if you are going to call him a Socialist, then so be it:  I’m a Socialist.  

Take a look at the world right now.  If you have a good job, then everything looks good, if you don’t, you see the world for what it is:  Unsustainable.  The rich are getting richer, the poor, poorer, and all of you who have a job now, are being fooled into believing that tax cuts for the rich is good for you.  It isn’t and deep down inside you know it.  You know that their tax revenue that use to pay for roads for us all, has now been converted to tollways.  Look at your tool bill, it’s a tax on you.   You know that the tax revenue that use to pay for a good public education has been pulled out of the system and if you have a kid in public school, you are paying for everything from sports jerseys to books.   All of which use to be included in the public school system.  Now, by cutting the tax on the wealthy, you are left paying more of the bill so their well-groomed kids can feel even more privilege when they drive by you with their heads raised in the air.  Here’s the kicker, if you are a self-employed slob like me making around 50k a year, you are paying more taxes than someone making 500k a year because they are the only ones with a voice in today’s Disinformation reality.

Bernie wants to change this, and so do I. 

So call me a Socialist, that’s fine.  I’m a Socialist, a “Democratic Socialist” as Bernies calls it.  The way things use to be in American before the Wealthily bastards bought up all the news outlets and told you it wasn’t.  In 1950’s they paid their taxes.  Today they don’t.   Call me a Socialist, fine, just don’t call me late for dinner. 

Don’t let them fool you. Be an educated flea, wake up America. Stop buying Conservative Republican bullshit. It’s destroying America

I hate to be an alarmist but what the heck, someone needs to be.  The Republicans are supporting the biggest debt president in history and yet remain silent.  For those of us in the know, we know their plan is to bankrupt the system so they can rebuild it without any regulations or support for those not willing to worship the Money Jesus.  Think I’m kidding? Ronald Reagan ran the debt up like crazy, then the Democrats balanced it, George Bush ran the debt up like crazy and did bankrupt the country and had the plan ready to implement, all he had to do was let the banks fail and not bail them out.  Bush was too stupid to complete their plan and so Obama became president and put a band aide on the the issue by saving the banks and auto manufactures.  He wasn’t suppose to do that.  Actually, on day one of Obama’s presidency the Republicans went crazy about the debt he had inherited; they actually blamed him for the debt and so crafted the Tea Party.  The Tea Party was suppose to be a balance-the-budget/save-the-planet conservative movement who had had enough — of course, if you went to any of their rallies you saw the beginnings of the White Supremacists movement now supporting Donald Trump.  And now that they have their guy in office, it is obvious that they don’t give a shit about balancing the budget or saving America.  

In a recent report the US Debt has hit the point-of-no-return.  They know it, you know it, and even educated fleas know it.  We’re fucked.  

US debt surpasses $23 trillion for first time

Here’s the really, really, crazy thing:  next year at this time they will be blaming Bernie Sanders for this debt as he raises taxes to pay for it.  

Don’t let them fool you.  Be an educated flea, wake up America.  Stop buying the Conservative Republican bullshit; it’s killing America! 

The Secret is Nichiren Buddhism

"You Hold In Your Hands The Way To A Magical Life." 

Is this opening sentence the blurb from the film and book series called "The Secret," or is it the Mystic Law of my Buddhist faith?  It's both!

I have been practicing Buddhism for many years now and this journey has taken me from New Age Meditation, to Tibetan Mysticism, to my most recent and rewarding Buddhist experience: the Lotus Sutra, more precisely, Nichiren Buddhism and the Soka Gakkai organization.

Years ago, like most open-minded soul seeking people in the free world -- which doesn't include Russia for you Trump supporters -- I streamed The Secret and thought I was on my way to being happy.  Like all self-help, however, after a few weeks I went back to my default ways of being.  

A few weeks ago I went on a business trip and needed a book to read and so picked up the book The Magic, which is part of The Secret series.  I realized at immediately that The Secret was nothing more than the Nichiren Buddhism I was practicing.  In the book "The Magic," the author narrows The Secret down to one thing:  gratitude.  This blew me away because I had just gotten done doing my evening chants and prayers and realized that the way we begin our prayers in the Soka Gakkai is with 'gratitude.'  

Yes, The Secret to life is gratitude, and this is exactly what Nichiren Daishonin gave us over 800 years ago.  It is also what we do twice a day as a Nichiren Buddhist and member of the Soka Gakkai.  

Thank you for reading!  Thank you, thank you, thank you....

Cactus On The Wall Poem

Cactus on the wall,
Who’s the fairest of them all?

Is it you, the wall, or me?
Who cries to be free?

Before we were here,
The wall was bare

Three things in God's USA that have amazed me most in my life time:

1.  Gas Lines When I Was A Kid.  I didn't then, nor do I now really understand them.  I knew there wasn't a shortage of gas, and to see my dad stand in line for three hours to get enough gas in his F150 so he could go to the work for the week, really messed with my eleven-year old brain. 

2.  The Military Lay Offs.  I went in the Navy in the early 80's.  They were promising us the world.  There was a shortage of volunteers.  I figured that was just the way it was.  After the fall of Donald Trump's homeland -- The Soviet Union -- we started closing bases and laying off soldiers and sailors.  That blew my mind.  

 3.  Donald Trump.  Need I say more.  The guy is a lunatic-fringe using divisive politics for his personal gain.  That on its own doesn't mess with my head, but his followers do.  Don't they see the destruction this guy is causing?  In today's news Trump is planning on joining in on the March against Women's Abortion Rights.  He'll be the first president to do something so UN-American.  

 

That's all I got to say today.  Enjoy our first UN-American president.

The New Republican Party: Ridicluelessim — New Word

Okay, so the Republicans have declared war on transgender folks by making it a felony for doctors to  prescribe  “puberty blockers” to minors.  That’s right, the once great Conservative party that believed in less government has introduced another law regarding someone’s body.  That’s Big Government Folks!  I’m talking Huge government.  Long gone are the days when a good conservative was concerned with less government.  This modern Republican Party loves big government when it has something to do with what is growing between your legs.  

And it doesn’t stop there, they are now coming up with a new government program to force your child to pray in school.  No shit.  That’s not conservatism folks, that’s ridicluelessim  — new word.  

~~ Dr TV Boogie. (Now doing to the conservatives what they have done to us for years:  telling it like I want to believe it instead of how it really is).
