Islam - The Religion of Peace, Tolerance, Freedom and Compassion - Allah Akbar

Hot damn, those Muslim boys shore do know how to keep their uppity wimmin in line -- chop off their ears and nose if they sass back.

And Allah is merciful, he commanded that the tits not be chopped off. (Not so sure about the clitoris, though -- that may have already been long gone. [clitoridectomy]) Allah Akbar.

She "got off" easy. To see more horrific really pitiful pictures illustrating the downright evil that Islam instills in its followers, see

Christianity is also evil, but it has "calmed down" quite a bit over the last few centuries. All the Abrahamic religions are stupid and evil. (And also most others.)

But a threat to humanity of an order of magnitude greater Christianity is Islam.

If you are a Muslim, a Muslim lover, a Muslim sympathizer, a "liberal" Muslim, a woo-woo kumbaya believer in an Islam of love, peace, tolerance, freedom, and/or compassion -- you are, frankly, a effing idiot.

For an excellent analysis, see

BTW -- We do not need to import Muslims. We do not need their effing mosques in New York City or anywhere else in the U.S. We do not need their women illustrating their subjection by wearing their stupid gowns, headdresses, scarves. If they want to remain Muslim, let them stay in their goat and camel effing pest hole countries. If they are escaping oppression, they should leave the source of their oppression behind, and renounce their stupid-ass religion when they leave.

Self-Replicating Robots Announced on Earth Day 2009

On Earth Day, 2009, scientists announce self-replicating robots. These self-replicating robots have the capability of taking materials from their environments and efficiently incorporating those materials into their structures. In addition to using the environmental materials for their own maintenance, they are even able to use the environmental elements to create even more of themselves.

They are, in fact, so efficient at using environmental materials to increase their numbers that they, in every case, use up all the materials in their environments, at which time they cease to be able to replicate.

This is due to a serious robotic programming "issue", and the scientists have not yet determined a method of programming the robots to exercise what would be called, in human terms, "self-control". They would like the programming to incorporate a feedback loop so that the robots would reduce their rate of replication so that the resources available to them would continue indefinitely. Unfortunately, given the difficulties of programming such an effective "self-control" algorithm, no schedule for completion has yet been announced.

Scientist have given these self-replicating robots several names, depending on the model, including Catholics, Mormons, Southern Baptists, Muslims, Hindus...

Bill Maher's "Religulous" - Must See

I saw Bill Maher's "Religulous" movie yesterday. In case you didn't know it, religion is dangerous, evil, stupid. But then that is just preaching to the choir.

Many funny moments, and many informative but scary moments. A lot of wackos out there.

Yes, Maher does frequently interrupt some wacko or another that he is interviewing. While that detracts a bit from him, can't blame him for it -- a greater bunch of losers, idiots, and fanatics he put together in one collection you couldn't imagine. Until you see the movie.

Oil Wars in the Mid-East (Iran, Iraq) - the Reason is Out-of-Control Population Growth

Why the Wars for Oil in the Mid-East cesspools of Iraq and Iran (coming soon)? The reason is out-of-control overpopulation growth.

If people worldwide had not -- and were still not -- breeding like effing cats, rats and dogs with no thought of consequence, there would not have been a "need" to go to those cesspool Arab lands filled with humans even stupider than those in the U.S., Europe, Asia, India, and South- and Central-America, in search of oil.

If not for a population far in excess of sustainable carrying capacity, the effing Arab wogs would have remained impoverished, backwater, irrelevant, if it were not for their oil. So, all the breeders have caused a hornet's nest, empowered by oil money, to be loosed upon the world.

And "our" governments don't mind -- Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Gore -- THEIR asses are safe, and they have a great "excuse" to increase control over the sheeple, and me as collateral damage.

Eff'em all -- the power-sucking governments -- politicians and bureaucrats. Eff'em all -- the slave religions and their sheep -- the Christians, Jews, Muslims.

California Water Shortage - Not My Problem

There is a water shortage in California, especially Southern California. Duh! It's a fricking DESERT, you know. And, there are TOO MANY PEOPLE.

TOO MANY PEOPLE. Hordes of illegal immigrants illegal aliens. Idiots of all races dropping litters of spawn like there is no tomorrow, with no more thought of consequences than cats, rats, and dogs.

It's time to start spaying and neutering these animals in human skins, and the politicians and bureaucrats pandering to them.

I have not contributed to the population explosion, so I am not going to go out of my way to conserve water, save energy, recycle, preserve endangered species, whatever, unless the pigs put a gun to my head or I cannot financially maintain my lifestyle. Let the fricking religious wackos opposed to abortion and birth control pay the price of overpopulation. Let the liberal lefty-loonies so interested in "saving the children" and "la raza" pay the price of overpopulation. As far as I'm concerned, they can all just go pound sand. 'f 'em all.

Why I am an Atheist

I needed a subject to write a blog post to keep this blog active, and a series of posts by James B rausch on his blog (no link to him, he won't link to me) "inspired" me.

The B rausch series is a fictionalized account (some reality, some fiction, he says) of his methamphetamine (meth) addiction, why and how he got started on it, the "meth life", bottoming out, recovery, finding he-she-it, converting to Mormonism, making several thousand dollars on the internet while in recovery, and discovering paradise in Costa Rica.

While some of the stuff about all that and the help of various social services (shelters and meals, all provided by various non-Mormon religious organizations) in keeping him afloat was fascinating, the stuff about he-she-it speaking to him, prayer, the conversion, etc., was maudlin, almost comical. I read through the series for details on how he made the several thousand dollars. Not much there on that.

He states his series will be removed from his blog or otherwise made inaccessible after 2007 December 25. If you are looking for a religious experience, you are out of luck if you read this post after that date.

But, if you are looking for internet marketing tips, what I gathered from his posts about that is this:

You write something up ("the product") -- but he never said what, even what kind of subject he wrote about -- that people will find valuable. Duh.
Then you put your product as a post on a blog you set up -- i.e., a free Google blog like this.
Then you go find a bunch of forums and post to each about what you have written with a link to your blog post.
I'm not sure of the next step. It could be either or both of these:
On the forums, you mention the product is free but you request a donation of $10, $20, whatever.
That may or may not be permissible. On your blog, as part of your blog post, I would think you definitely would want to include that donation request.
The donation request link goes to a PayPal account you have set up.
(In PayPal, you have to set up payment, by going to "Merchant Services".
Click "Donate" under "Create Buttons". I guess for forum posts you would use the select "Link for e-mails" code. For a blog post, get that and paste it into your blog post while in HTML mode. That's it. You can see how that works on a blog by donating to me, below.)

Anyway, that's it, as far as I can decipher. I have just saved you an hour or more of sometimes fascinating but ultimately unimportant reading.

Back to he-she-it:

Many people claim that he-she-it has spoken to them. They range from various killers (serial killers, mothers drowning their children, founders of religions spaced out from dehydration or "herbs" wandering around in the desert, etc., etc.) to usually harmless people you think are talking on their cell-phones, but who don't have a cell-phone, to people like B rausch that are seemingly quite successful. All that demonstrates to me is that both losers and winners (however you define those) can be wacko.

As I said above, just ONE of the reasons I am an atheist is that he-she-it has not spoken to me, personally. Why should he-she-it speak to me, you may ask. Why shouldn't he-she-it, I ask in return. After all, if there really is a he-she-it, am I not one of he-she-it's flock? Doesn't he-she-it care about ME? Doesn't he-she-it want my worship, obedience, reverence, whatever? What am I, chopped liver?

He-she-it is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. With those super-powers, you would think it inconsequentially simple for he-she-it to conduct a personal seance with every living person on Earth (and wherever) as frequently and intensively as necessary to make sure that we all "get the Word". Hasn't happened.

What am I missing? Comments are welcome (but note that they are moderated).

BTW, please contribute (donate) to my PayPal account if you think this worthwhile.

Have a happy winter solstice pagan celebration to welcome in the new year.

The Golden Compass - Must See

The Golden Compass movie, starring Nicole Kidman (Eyes Wide Shut) and Daniel Craig ("Bond, James Bond") will be one of the next movies that I see.

Yeah, I know it has gotten some lukewarm reviews. But any movie or novel that reminds me of or incorporates vaguely Jules Verne "science", including airships (dirigibles), and that manages to really piss off various Christian wackos (especially Catholics), has GOT to be good.

The Golden Compass is based on the first book of the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman.

Update: Saw it. If you missed it in the theaters, rent it.

Border Fences - Saudi Arabia-Iraq, US-Mexico

A friend sent a link to a story about how Saudi Arabia is building a fence along their border to keep Iraqis out. He wondered why "we" can't do the same to keep the Mexicans out. My answer is:

"We" could do it. But the New World Order puppet-masters don't WANT it. The object of open borders is to create a strife-torn, middle-class-eliminated plantation. Along with merger with Canada and Mexico, to bring down the U.S. and Canada to Mexican levels. North-American Union with a common currency, the "Amero".

You will note that the leaders/rulers in even the most impoverished countries do not suffer lack of food, luxury cars, mansions, toys, servants, and other perquisites. There is no NEED for a prosperous middle class in ANY country.

I do not blame our rulers. I and they see that prosperity for all will ruin the planet even faster. And since, due to right-wing religious wacko fascists and left-wing kumbaya bleeding hearts, there will never be effective population control (unless they can finally engineer genetic plagues), they have to reduce resource use by reducing consumption. And, it may even be too late, as it is, for them.

Finally, I don't give a crap. As you know, I am old. I was lucky to be born in the U.S., but it is living on past glory. Americans are no better or more deserving or special than those in any other country. 95% of Americans are just as stupid, irrational, ignorant, and venal as those in any other country.

Only the details of stupidity and irrationality differ. (Both Islam and Christianity, for example, are slave religions.) It is not from lack of desire that there are no more Christian Crusades and Inquisitions; it's just that you could say that maybe Christians have mellowed a bit, or maybe just become pussified. (Which, for me, living here rather than in wog-land, is a good thing -- but the basic irrationality is the same.)

In any event, the probably genetic disposition to make the wrong en-mass choices, including breeding like f'ing cats, rats, and dogs, without control or thought of consequences, will lead to inevitable collapse. Hard to say under which type of political or religious regime it will happen faster.

F'em all.

Single Mother Complaints About Finding a Man.

A single mother, 26 years old, with two kids, complains that she has found it impossible to get a guy to stick around. She says she is in good shape, and is probably an "8", maybe a "9". So what is wrong, she asks?

Well, what is wrong is that she has two kids already at age 26. Sorry to say, but that means she is screwed, and I don't mean sexually.

Even though she considers herself "hot", it is quite likely that most guys see her differently. And even if she is actually an "8" or "9" she is going to have to lower her sights drastically and settle for some guy that doesn't have much going for himself and/or is not nearly so good-looking as she thinks she is or that she thinks she deserves.

It's going to be a hard go to find some guy willing to take on a "package deal" and raise some other guy's kids.

To be frank, in this day and age, kids are an expensive luxury. And there are so many legal, criminal and financial traps involved. Why should good looking guys with something going for themselves settle for that baggage when there are so many girls without it?

It's too late for this gal, but she should have considered the consequences when she was 16, 20, 24 (she didn't say how old here kids were) and went ahead with the pregnancies.

She COULD have had abortions, you know. Maybe she's religious and doesn't believe in abortion? Well, if she is so religious, she shouldn't be having sex anyway. Right? If so, she is a hypocrite, and follows her religion only when it suits her, and ignores it otherwise. Religion is for the stupid and ignorant. And yes, most people are both stupid, ignorant and religious. So what else is new?

And, she COULD have waited until at least 25 or later to start spawning. Waiting until her and her potential impregnators have a bit of maturity can also reduce the single mother epidemic of which she is a part.

All of you bimbos who just can't wait to drop litters, wake up. You are f'ing idiots - literally.

So What if the Jews Killed Jesus?

Jews need to take the bull by the horns and address Christians ragging on them for "killing Jesus".

I suggest something like:

"So what if the Jews BACK THEN had another Jew, Jesus, killed (by the Romans)?"

"What business is it of YOURS? You didn't even HAVE a religion then. And if it weren't for the (alleged) fact that the Jews did have Jesus killed, you wouldn't have your stupid religion TODAY!"

BTW, I am an atheist, so f' all you religious wackos. Happy holidays. ;>)

The Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays Flapdoodle

Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays -- so f'ing what.
Be informed that "holiday" means "holy day".
As an non-liberal atheist, I don't give a crap. "F" both the Christians and the liberals. (And while I'm at it, "F" the Muslim wogs and religious Jews as well.)

Real Estate Opportunities in New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina

It has been long known that one or more levees in the New Orleans area would go in the event of any fair-to-middlin'-sized hurricane. So why the shock and surprise that at least a couple of the levees have busted, in the wake of hurricane Katrina, flooding 80% or more or New Orleans?

Since the potential problem has been long known -- for decades -- why were the levees NOT rebuilt, or at least patched, well in advance?

Obviously, TPTB had other priorities. Given the agenda of the NWO, my guess is that the levees will be rebuilt AFTER thousands/millions of acres of land have been foreclosed on and/or sold at distressed bargain-basement prices.

Meyer Rothschild said something like: "Buy when the blood is running in the streets." In the case of New Orleans, you could substitute "water" for "blood".

So, if you are a speculator, you could jump in right along with politicians and corporations like Bush/Cheney/Halliburton and "Crawfish Huey" (fictitious local politician name).

The History of Teaching Math

A Story:
Some time ago I purchased a burger for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her.

She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help.

While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Please read more about the "history of teaching math":

Teaching Math In 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Are Gold and Silver Prices Suppressed?

While I am a Precious Metals fan, I don't think the prices are being suppressed.

Gold: IT IS NO LONGER MONEY. Undeniable. Since that is the case, I am surprised that it has MAINTAINED its price relative to the "DOLLAR" and even increased somewhat, since the only other uses are minor industrial, which silver can often substitute for, and for jewelry. I attribute any price support/increase to us goldbugs, not to anything else.

Gold is superfluous to most people with any "money". Maybe some day in the future, gold will be again be money. But first, ONLY after the world economy and the present fiat money systems collapse totally. Then, there will be more attempts at fiat systems. Finally, gold will HAVE to be adopted again as money. But I, and possibly you, will be dead of old age by then.

SILVER: I have heard of the coming silver price explosion for decades. The demand/supply imbalances. Blah, blah, blah. Obviously, there is enough supply available at PRESENT (low) prices. If there wasn't, the price would be higher. QED. Now, you can say that by analyzing supply and demand that on the x day of the y month of year z, that the supply at the present low prices will run out and so that the price will have to increase dramatically. And that it should increase NOW in anticipation. But this is now, and then is then. Plus, obviously, the people with big "money" disagree.

Capitalism or "free enterprise" does not mean that people have much foresight. If you think silver, for example, should now be $100 (whatever), because of a potential future shortfall, you likely think oil should be $150 (whatever) a barrel.

That oil is not $150 is for the same reason silver is not $100. The prices will not increase dramatically until, if and when, we (collectively) get kicked in the face.

So you doubled your money.

So you doubled your money.
What if, in the same period of time, your cost of living (COL) also doubled?
Well, at least you broke even, right?
Wrong. Because the IRS wants tax on your "double" even though you didn't gain any purchasing power.
In this way, government ROBS you of your capital through inflation.

Social Engineering -- Yassuh, Massuh

All kinds of social engineering by your rulers of you slaves on the Amerikan New World Order Plantation.

The excuses by The Powers That Be (TPTB) is that it's all the "fault" of traffic, terrorism, environmental, etc.,. etc. concerns.

If TPTB wanted to do some EFFECTIVE social engineering that would address a basic problem, it would be to STOP subsidizing the indiscriminate dropping of litters of human spawn by so-called humans with no more foresight than cats, rats, and dogs. That subsidizing, that has to stop, includes "public" education, tax deductions, aid to welfare mothers and their car-jackers-in-training, etc.

Now, that would mean BIRTH CONTROL AND ABORTION. So, fat chance, since most people are religious, thus demonstrably idiots, no matter that they can rapidly emit utterances from their mouths, obtain prestigious business, academic, and government positions, or score above 100 on an IQ test.

(By the way, if the average score on the IQ test is a little more than 100, just consider that about HALF those taking it have IQ scores BELOW 100. And they have cell phones.)

"Born Again" Atheists

Every now and then I get some sort of response to something which generally is quite sane, but then the writer goes off on a "GOD" tangent. Which is completely inane, irrelevant, and superfluous.

Re "god" -- fuggedaboudit. Not a factor, since non-existent.
(Not going to debate religion -- I am a "born again atheist".
Everyone is born an atheist -- and most are soon programmed into some religion or another, which NEVER changes. Only a few of us throw off such superstition to again become atheists -- "born again atheists".)

Government and Banking Enable Identity Theft

The government, the central banking system (Federal Reserve), credit card companies, and credit reporting bureaus set up a big-brother numbering system that FACILITATES identity theft, then offer to "protect" you against that -- for a "nominal" fee (times millions of "customers"). How SWEET!

Corporate Amerika -- especially the ID theft enablers Microsucks and Intel who are more interested in bells and whistles than security, and more interested in enabling the government and other corporations to track you rather than protecting your privacy -- also are your identity security enemies.

So also are all the techno-weenies and pointy-haired managers who think up and deploy crapola such as RFID chips and supermarket "loyalty" (discount) "membership" cards.

Atlas Twitched

Los Angeles Metrolink officials are criminally negligent dissembling weasels.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand includes a description of a rail disaster caused by fictional analogs of the real-life Metrolink commuter line officials.

It has been well-know for years that the "push" method of running trains is inherently unsafe. Various transportation observers AND the rail union have complained for years about it. But, it is cheaper to run the trains unsafely rather than switch the engines to the front into the normal "pull" method, when appropriate.

Yes, the crazy Mexican suicidal wife-beater drug dealer should not have put his SUV on the track, but a train with the engine in front may not even have noticed it as it ran into it (and through it). But with a lightweight "cab" car at the front of the train, the SUV stopped it while the engine at the rear continued to push, causing the cars inbetween to fold like an accordion, and off the track into other trains.

Atlas Shrugged is the story of the collapse of the United States (and the world) due to rampant stupidity. Los Angeles Metrolink officials are criminally negligent stupid dissembling weasels. The Metrolink CEO said in a television interview that the push mode is not a problem, when obviously there was a problem, e.g., a train wreck.

Who is John Galt? -- Atlas Shrugged

Public Education -- Subsidizing the Spawn of the Irresponsible

Education is NOT the responsibility of a state, a local schoolboard, or a Hillary's village.
It is the PARENTS' responsibility.

It's not up to us who have elected to not contribute to the population explosion to subsidize the spawn of biological clock ticking bimbos and macho men.

Subsidizing dropping of litters of rugrats leads to more overpopulation, more resource depletion, more pollution, more crime, and -- more wars over resources, whether on a world level over oil, or on a local level over parking, housing, beach access, etc.

DON'T BREED 'EM IF YOU CAN'T FEED 'EM -- OR CAN'T EDUCATE THEM -- YOURSELF.
