Einstein

A few thoughts by Albert Einstein:

The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.

Through the reading of popular scientific books, I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies, it was a crushing impression.

Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in fact, religious.

Them that know.

Them that know. Know that they know.
And them that don’t know. They don’t know they don’t know.

What I know is. The Catholic Robert Mugabe has a dark agenda. His choices have disempowered Millions. His behavior has caused immeasurable suffering and misery. And its all done in the name of greed, vanity and ego. In a riotous celebration of the base emotions.

Almost everyone in the entire world knows that Robert Mugabe is a dark entity. And yet he is still in power. His ‘where did you put your cross’ campaign sends his thugs to assault voters who did not put their cross on his name. Democracy in action.

Come on. How far down the bottom of belief do we have to beggar before the will of world opinion finds an executive voice.

What I know is. Tony Blair and George Bush serve dark agendas. Their choices have disempowered Millions. Their behavior has caused untold suffering and misery. And its all done in the name of greed, vanity and ego. Not forgetting the one to whom they give the praise and the credit. The big Guy. God.

Almost everyone in the entire world knows that Bush is a dark entity. Around the globe he is commonly reviled as a power crazed village idiot creating immeasurable karmic debt. Most people in Britain feel betrayed by Blair. And yet Bush is still in power while Blair rakes in Millions dispensing his Godly wisdom. A million British people came out to say NO to his Iraq war intentions, but Blair insisted. God was his excuse, and considerable personal profit was the outcome. A Million lives ruined was the price of their promotion.

If alcoholism has taught us anything it is that without admission of a problem, no resolution is possible. Is there a problem with the world today?

If so, who heads the task force to make things better for the race of man. Surely – our elected leaders – in hierarchical order from the most powerful nation downwards. If things are bleak – are they in any way responsible. Should our leaders be able to use that most ridiculous of justifications – God told me to, whilst remaining immune to the obvious fact that they are NOT serving the planets best interests whilst remaining unaccountable for their actions. Be they criminal or moral.

Without accountability for personal actions, no forward progress is possible. Without making those leaders whose choices were so far from the will of the electorate – in particular Bush and Blair, the Iraq brothers whose joint efforts surely ruined a Million lives in order that their careers would progress them to ‘Very Rich’ status, whilst crediting God as their motivation - accountable, we remain as a race attached to the same blind malaise as the alcoholic. Address the problem or die because of it. God and stupidity.

Blair and Bush betrayed the popular will of those supposedly empowered to elect them as representatives. Just as the majority in Zimbabwe could not possibly have voted for a leader selling what:
The lowest mortality rate in the world, 150,000 % inflation and a track record of 100% failure in every department. Its easy to see how 50% of Zimbabweans voted for him then.
Similarly the majority of the US and UK electorate could not possibly have voted for what Bush and Blair achieved.

The disaster that their intelligent guidance had every opportunity to prefer instead of what their selfish – God driven profit motivated stance brought into fruition – has led to a terrible lowering of the bar in the human condition.

There is no getting away from it. Bush and Blair have achieved in leadership terms, a new low. Only the spin for ‘Them that don’t know’ can hope to hide this glaring fact. Not since the persecution of those claiming the Flat Earth was a myth can leadership be considered to have failed to represent ‘those that know’ to such a degree.

Not only has so much ‘3 trillion dollar’ ruination visited Iraq because of these dreadful deceits, but on a more far reaching scale, a new generation of voters look at what happened there – courtesy of Bush an Blair – and see no reason not to demonstrate the same moral barbarism. Look no further for a social explanation as to why the wide reaching instances of morally bankrupt behavior goes on in our communities. Why should any kid behave with a sense of moral compass when world leaders like Bush, Blair and Mugabe so obviously provide a moral compass suggesting what is obvious to those who knows:

The rich empower a leader to represent their interests. Spin and money. The majority are duped with a God driven – fear based agenda - that ensures their submission in moral and economic enslavement.

'The rich get richer – the poor get children.'

Those who know know.
And those that don’t know. They don’t know they don’t know.

And they that don’t know – statistically - represent 90%.
90% of people alive on Earth believe in God. The poorer and least educated being the most affected.

This demonstrates that 90% of people have abrogated personal responsibility for the far easier expedient of God. God rules – because – with God nothing is ever your fault. There is no accountability with God. After all – the devil exists to provide a watertight excuse for any personal failure to exercise wise decision-making.

How anyone still falls for this exposed and ridiculous idea can best be explained by motive. The motive exists for a minority of those empowered by privilege to ensure the continuing subjugation of those disempowered by ignorance into a God driven position of submission to the fortunes of their dominant masters. To the majority of us in recent times, this refers specifically to Messrs Bush and Blair.

Men made immensely wealthy by their betrayal of the office to which they were – seemingly elected – by their choice to use God as the shameful deceit by which they employ spin masters to manipulate the compliant majority of - basically poor people – driven by poverty consciousness toward a belief in a mysterious God figure who will – despite all common sense and all evidence to the contrary – reveal himself to make things better.

And for this vanity driven sickness, a Million people in Iraq, many of whom are no different to the English people who pay the taxes that pay for the bombs that blights their lives, find their lives ruined beyond repair. This happens while Blair and Bush enjoy ever growing prosperity in direct proportion to the misery that finances this unhappy balance.

How will this ever change. There are so many now who are empowered by choice. Who are able to formulate opinions on what is – and what should be. Based on a personal experience of common sense and not simply a Mugabe style version of ‘Where did you put your cross.’

Should the day ever come where the elected minority accurately express the will of the majority – one thing is for sure. Accountability must accompany the position. Without accountability – just as an alcoholic cannot recover without first admitting the root of the problem, we must recognize accountability in those who accepted the office – and the benefits of celebrity leadership – whilst pursuing a failed agenda.

Bush and Blair must be made accountable before a new era of considered leadership based on a considered representation of the majority can commence. Don’t do the crime if you cant do the time.

Mugabe – Bush and Blair have betrayed the interests of those who looked to them for leadership. The semantics of how they can be tried in law is secondary to what ‘Them that knows. Knows.’

The damage their abuse of privileged position has caused is far worse than almost any other criminal activity you could think of like say – a mass murderer. And yet - they are somehow disenfranchised from accountability. Praise the Lord. That really is a miracle in operation.

Unless these leaders who have palpably failed to deliver the basic charter for which they were elected be held accountable, how can we ever hope for change toward a more enlightened condition. We as a human race need accept and address the faults in our condition – or succumb entirely to their consequences.

Bush Blair and Mugabe. Bought to trial for crimes against Humanity – will be when you know the worm has turned.

In the meanwhile agitating for a better world by proclaiming objection to – environment – crime – child abuse – asylum quotas – petrol prices - etc… should be seen in the appropriate context. Small, irrelevant distraction from the central issue.

The central issue is – 90 % or so of the Earths population is mired in the philosophy of ignorant bliss. They have no accountability to themselves. They believe their God will provide a heaven if they conform to a rigid set of rules that makes an enemy of anyone who does not conform to the same ridiculous nonsense.

All pain and no gain it seems to me. A life spent punishing yourself with guilt and attachment to base values,living in fear while looking forward to a happy period after you die. We elect leaders in this same image, and the world burns. Wars create millionaires to keep things ticking along, and as ‘Them that don’t know. Don’t know they don’t know’ but continue to grow in number, apocalyptic melt down becomes inevitable. Indeed, desirable to millions of American christians who yearn for the reassurance of their biblical interpretation requiring Apocalypse to fulfill their deluded prophecy belief.

Until we establish a new system of accountable leadership that represents the will of the people who have retained the option of free choice, we can rely on one thing only. More God – more war.

Can every vote really be considered equal in the system we call democracy when the vast majority don’t have the basic capacity to exercise the most basic precepts of free choice. Money and spin can turn them any which way. They would even vote in a village idiot with a little god driven spin. Really - I am not making this up.

My hope is that ‘Them that know’ will increase in number until a tipping point is reached.

Perhaps a future generation will look back on the ‘God’ era of man – with the same incredulity that we now look back just a few hundred years to when God made the Earth Flat. Those blasphemers who challenged the Church view that the Earth was flat - were liable to grisly death.

Paul Kruger, the elected leader of the Republic of the Transvaal died in 1904. Little over a hundred years ago, he died convinced of two things. God. And that the Earth was Flat.

Them that don’t know. Don’t know they don’t know.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Travel and Islam

Andrew Brown, 43, from Middlesex has a lesson for anyone considering a visit to Dubai. His reward for visiting Dubai last Month is a 4 year jail sentence. A .0003 gram speck of cannabis, too small for the naked eye to see, was detected on the sole of his shoe (the outside part) by the drug detector at Dubai airport.

Tracy Wilkinson, 45, from West Sussex was stopped at Dubai Airport and arrested. She was carrying codeine pills, for back pain. She spent 8 weeks in a Dubai prison before being released. Being caught at Dubai airport with over the counter cold remedy's which include codeine will land you in jail for 4 years.

Still thinking of traveling to Dubai or the UAE? Or investing in their fabulous Environmentally catastrophic developments?

Dubai airport has state of the art detection equipment. They have a list of prohibitive substances that includes poppy seeds - as used in many a British sandwich - and they have a mandatory four year jail term for any offender, no matter how small the amount.

So - best you not eat a sandwich at Heathrow before flying to Dubai. If it has a poppy seed covering, you will not be the first to face a mandatory 4 year jail term for this offense.

Possession of prohibited substances is not limited to actual physical possession as in Western law. Arrests and mandatory 4 year jail terms will follow if, for instance, you have smoked cannabis within 6 weeks of entering Dubai or UAE. This is because residue in the bloodstream is considered as possession in their law. Traces of prohibited substances in hair, blood and urine have been used to secure 4 year convictions.

As is well known in the UK and the US, most used bank notes have a residue of cocaine. This means your Gran could be locked up for 4 years for carrying cash in her wallet through Dubai Airport. That is if she wasn't done for the residue of codeine found in a hair sample from medication she took to calm her on the flight.

Before you visit Dubai or UAE, ask yourself what the Prophet would do. Praise be upon his shame.

Athanase Seromba

Here is a gentleman with a lesson for those battling to understand the problems that beset the dark continent.

Athanase is a man of God. A Pope man, spreading the Catholic word around Africa. After doing much good work with the people in his home parish in Rwanda, Athanase moved to Italy continuing his work as a Catholic priest near Florence. Neither he nor his employers saw any contradiction between spreading Catholicism and Athanase's tribal recidivism that saw him kill thousands of his own parishiners. (He locked them inside his church, got his mate the bulldozer man to crush the building, making sure that any survivors were dispatched to the Lord via Panga and pistol.)

Now those pesky Athiests from The United Nation War Crimes tribunal have interpreted Athanases good use of his Church in what is quite obviously a racist way that makes him sound like a criminal. For heavens sake. They have sentenced the poor fellow to life imprisonment.

We hope the Pope will intervene and save him from what is clearly a racist attack on his good character by the United Nations tribunal. I can only assume it because he is Black?

As the Catholic church has already paid out over 1 Billion US Dollars to US victims of, how shall I put this, Athanasetic conduct in the US, it is easy to see how God works in mysterious ways for the Catholics. Surely they can just spend a bit more to pay off the alleged 'victims' and send Athanase back to minister to the Catholic demands in his home country.

My hope is that the Catholic lawyer Tony Blair and his Barrister wife Cherie will direct their collective legal expertise towards a defence for Athanase and restore him to his rightful place, where he is needed most, doing Gods work in Africa once more.

Jay Zee

Recently, while reading a South African news web forum, I viewed a list of African National Congress Council members who have criminal records, or who are under a cloud of suspicion. The ANC have an 80 member National Executive committee. These 80, elected by the 3,800 delegates of the ANC are effectively the leadership of the rainbow nation. Quite how this conforms to the accepted principles of Democracy in which fundamental human rights of individual citizens are protected by the collective and in which the views of the population-at-large, not just a ruling elite, are reflected in the actions of government, I have no idea. Perhaps it would more accurately be described as Democracy3,800.

One third (33%) of the ANC National Executive Committee have, or soon, to various degrees, will have criminal records. This includes conviction for crimes such as kidnapping (see the bio of Africa’s favorite killing kidnapper/fraudster Winnie Mandela), although mostly they are convicted or charged with fraudulent activity.

Most recently a new leader has been appointed to the ANC. JZ as his supporters call him. (Jay Zee). Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma. Zuma, a practicing Polygamist is best known outside of the townships for successfully defending an allegation of rape, leveled at him by a trusted family friend and house guest who was HIV positive when they had, according to Zuma, unprotected sex. I have wondered why, if this girl lied about the rape which is the only conclusion following a Not Guilty verdict, she was not subsequently prosecuted. Rape is a heinous allegation to be unjustly accused of. Making a false allegation of rape perverts the course of justice and is a criminal offense. Why was this young lady not prosecuted?

In the corruption Court, Zuma escaped conviction along with his financial adviser, Schabir Schaik, who was imprisoned for 15 years in connection with his corrupt relationship with Zuma. Allegedly over a corrupt arms deal made possible by Zuma’s office in the ANC. Zuma’s case was scheduled to start in September 2006, but struck off the roll by Judge Herbert Msimang after the state unsuccessfully applied for a postponement. The new date for the hearing is August 4, 2008. Or is it?

Corruption is endemic in African politics and South Africa is no exception. Just google keywords like ‘corruption, ANC’ and see how many stories come up. (The leader of the ANC and the chief of Police, Jackie Selebi, head a very long list.) The real surprise is when you hear about an ANC politician who is not corrupt. The idea of creating an anti corruption unit in South Africa, given independent powers to investigate and pursue corrupt figureheads was a good one. The Scorpions (Directorate of Special Operations unit) was formed in January 2001, 16 months after President Mbeki promised the national legislature that the government would set up a squad to fight so-called priority crimes. This was a reaction to concerns over the staggering crime wave sweeping South Africa, elevating it to the top of the Worlds charts in terms of murders per capita and jeopardizing prospects for the foreign investment that would help to sustain the growing economy.

The Scorpions had some notable successes, including the Schabir Schaik/Jacob Zuma Arms dealing story. Their evidence would have formed the case for Zuma’s August hearing.

So far so good?

Following his election to the leadership of the ANC Zuma has made his first major initiative, ordering the government of President Thabo Mbeki to dismantle the country's highly successful organized crime fighting unit, the Scorpions.

Lets consider this fact momentarily. In a Country beset with heinous crime, ravaged by an epidemic of aids, mired in a cycle of illiteracy and poverty where the number of people living on less than one dollar a day has doubled since the end of Apartheid, and with only the gift of hope bequeathed by the Mandela effect to light a way forward, the new leader makes his first initiative one that effectively removes the corruption case against him, and rubber stamps the opportunity for unregulated excesses to characterize his term in office. Way to go Jay Zee. Kick the downtrodden when they’re down.

I watched Fergal Keane’s BBC Panorama last Monday which includes an interview with Jacob Zuma. Keane points out the disturbing reluctance by the ANC to confront the Mugabe ‘Black Apartheid’ still decimating the lives of so many Millions in Zimbabwe. A disaster of monumental proportions, even by the elevated standards already made commonplace by Africa’s prevailing Muntocracy. 4 Million Zimbabweans have arrived in South Africa. Mostly unskilled, mostly desperate. Some, like Adonis Musati die of starvation just waiting outside the office for the ineffective South African bureaucracy to process their papers. Others just work illegally. There are good opportunities for a man made fearless by desperation, such as knocking down and stealing power cables and selling the metals contained inside. The Chinese are always on hand to buy up any raw materials on offer.

Quiet how a Country already beset by poverty and crime will absorb another 4 Million needy cases, mostly unskilled, mostly impoverished, is unlikely to surprise anybody.

Instead of intervening in Zimbabwe, as befitting South Africa’s position of moral and economic power in Africa, ANC leadership instead sanction Mugabe’s excesses with their silence, recognizing him as ‘The spiritual father of Africa’. Mbeki is invariably seated at his right hand when African leaders meet and award their usual standing ovation to Mugabe’s entrance. To add a typically South African touch of irony to the ANC’s Zimbabwe effect, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was robbed at gunpoint by three (veterans) shortly after arriving at the MDC’s office in exile in Johannesburg's district of Bryanston to meet foreign journalists. With next Months Zimbabwe election looming, losing his documents and his laptop surely represents more of a loss to Mr Tsvangirai than a profit for the thieves whilst adding another nail to his impossible quest, leaving Southern Africa facing the prospect of a Zuma led South Africa and a Mugabe led Zimbabwe.

As Desmond Tutu observed with a pained voice on Mondays Panorama program, ‘Surely South Africa deserves better.’

I however disagree. The reality, for me, is that you get what you deserve. It’s a law of the Universe. A karmic law. One action causes another. The very essence of balance. You reap what you sow. Hoping for better days is not the same as starting the journey in that direction.

Consider alcoholics. Drinking themselves to death saying, ‘surely I deserve better’ while their livers rot. This condition changes with two events:
~ The will to change and ~ the knowledge with which to effect change.
Effective knowledge in the alcoholics case directs – admit you are an alcoholic and treatment can begin. Starting with the admission ‘My name is.... and I am an alcoholic’ the alcoholic can hope to recover. There is no recovered alcoholic I know who has not traveled this route.

My point?

Africa and South Africa in particular manifest a condition of national denial. The nature of the survival instinct is to invent and then rely on convenient reality. Delusion. Reliance on feelgood fabrication without considering the wider picture. The disease of Africa has to be addressed before it can be remedied. The disease is best described as Muntusim.

Muntuism is a base philosophy that disregards all of mans advances in evolving workable codes to live by. Muntuism is a unique blend of nihilism and total thoughtlessness. A process that places the individuals base needs at the front and end of everything. Muntuism disregards all value in anything beyond short-term need gratification. This includes the value of life. Muntuism recognises no connection between cause and effect. It has no accountability, no conscience and no concept of mercy. Although there are many examples of Muntuism, I will refer to just one. The Muntu’s who shot the beautiful human being that was Lucky Dube for no more than the possibility of a joyride in a BMW. Researching Muntuism, as I have done for many years, reveals that allowed to progress unchecked, Muntuism conforms to a model of social and evolutionary anarchy that will with all certainty consume not only itself, but all with whom it comes in contact. Allowed unchecked Muntuism is a terminal social cancer.

Unlike cancer there is a cure for Muntuism. This takes the form of enlightenment. Education. Education when used in conjunction with an effective rule of law will work. In another of Africa’s beautifully ironic references that characterize the denial based reality of South Africa, the current Aids education initiative is headed by none other than Jacob Zuma. A man whose reputation for wisdom in the HIV area has been reported world-wide.

It is a curiosity to me, listening to the various arguments being put forward in Western media for South Africa, a Country which has an outstanding track record for producing high intelligence individuals, that they appear to anyone listening from a first world perspective, to be the work of clueless gormless proponents of Muntuism. What on Earth is going on. Jay Zee leading the worlds front line in the Aids battle?

It is clear that unless the Muntuism issue is addressed South Africa will ensure that Africa’s 100% record of failed Governments maintaining their kleptocracies in the guise of denial based Democracy, will be complete.

Is the polygamist Jay Zee really the best that South Africa can come up with to lead the way forward from what even that denial steeped culture must surely accept, is a crisis?

Or, considering Mbeki’s famous ‘I don’t know anyone who has it’ remark on Aids, which made him the only person on South Africa for whom that would be true, I guess the new line for the ANC will be ‘Crisis, what crisis.’

My name is Jacob and I am a .....

Bobby Fischer.

Bobby Fischer (64) died yesterday. I read this on the BBC web site and immediately went to his Wikipedia page where I read the line 'Rumors abound that he was strangled by his own beard.'
Curiously when I went back to the same page two days later, this line was removed, confirming that he had in fact died of Kidney failure. I wonder who would post a line suggesting he was killed by his own beard. The plot thickens.

Apart from becoming World chess champion, Fisher was a unique character. Despite his Jewish parentage, he declared that his life's work was to 'expose the Jews for the criminals .....the murderers they are' and argued that the United States is "a farce controlled by dirty, hook-nosed, circumcised Jew bastards."

Undeniably he was poorly treated by the US, being criminalised for playing a chess game in Yugoslavia while Bush Senior had an embargo in place. The US government that feted his American superiority when the cold war made it expedient to do so, subsequently turned on him with especial viciousness, leaving Fisher convinced of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy perpetrated by "the Jew-controlled U.S. Government" to defame and destroy him.

Bobby Fisher touched great heights on one level, but seemingly had a tortured life filled with frequent visitations from misfortune.

I always find it interesting to see where those possessed of great intellectual gifts turn their attentions, and the resulting consequences of these attentions.

No doubt the movie will follow soon.

The Wikipedia link is on the name tag above.

Let he who cast the first stone against ISLAM

Consider this.

Many possessed of double figure IQ consider Islam to be an oppressive belief system which devalues the life experience and degrades the human condition. A common charge leveled against proponents of Islam is that its barbaric practices are inhumane and indefensible in this age where many can read, write and do basic math, and are therefore not able to cite total blithering idiocy as a reason for belief.

In the eyes of senior Islamic belief I am considered 'An offense against God'. Because I make my living out of creating beautiful consciousness raising music using musical Instruments. (Really. I am not making this up. I have had it confirmed and I am 'an offense against God.' Don't be too smug though, if you have a guitar or a piano in the house.)

Many of those able to read write and do basic math are totally bemused by the idea that anyone given a choice would opt for Islam and the intellectual submission this requires. This bemusement is frequently accompanied by feelings of superiority, which in turn is commonly based on the premise that our social order (Western secular humanism)is shown in any intelligent argument to be superior in every way that serves to improve the individuals life experience.

Well blow me over with a whiff of onion yoghurt breath. I was wrong. Islam is not rooted in the dark ages of black ignorance. They do have scientific consideration for their logic.

I have just read Article 104 of the Iranian Penal code.

This deals with the size of stones to be used in the punishment of the Adulterer. Specifying that the stones used should "Not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones."

Evidently over enthusiastic Muslims were using stones too large for purpose and the whole event was over too quickly. Women in this scenario are buried up to their chests before the stoning begins. Hardly worth coming out for if its over with the first, second, or third stone.

I am sure you will share my relief in learning that Islam incorporates science so intelligently into the legal process and that the wasteful nature of a quick end for adulterers has now been put to rights.

Nine women and two men in Iran are currently waiting to experience the benefits of this law.

Perhaps LastMinute.com will do a weekend package to coincide with the occasions of public stoning. A chance for us to sample local culture and witness Sharia law in action. Would certainly make for a memorable trip I think. The holiday rep could hand out copies of this 'appropriate stone size law' to prevent any holiday makers keen on participating in local customs from falling foul of the accepted conventions.
