ODE TO THE DOG TICK

Never was a parable so small
yet so blood-filled as the song
of the dog tick. Out in the garden
catching the shadows of butterflies.
Remember when the box started
scratching? Nine and ten cocoons
started wanting to fly? Oh yes
the bookshelf and we were eating
our breakfasts. Woke up and just
started eating. All the noises
but not like the sound of a tick
burning in the ashtray because
that is more silent still.
Burn tick burn, bother not the dog.
He only waits for your mysterious arrival,
the one on the wind, the one he never chose.

The Famous Chewbacca Defense
which freed OJ Simpson:

Cochran: Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
Gerald Broflovski: Dammit!
Chef: What?
Gerald: He's using the Chewbacca Defense!
Cochran: Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.[1]

The Five Dancing Smoking Guns:

1. The Israeli "movers" cheered the 9-11 attacks to celebrate the successful accomplishment of the greatest spy operation ever pulled off in history.
2. One of them, or an accomplice, then calls a 9-1-1 police dispatcher to report Palestinian bomb-makers in a white van headed for the Holland Tunnel.
3. Having thus pre-framed the Palestinians with this phone call, the Israeli bombers then head for the George Washington Bridge instead, where they will drop off their time-bomb van and escape with Urban Moving accomplices.
4. But the police react very wisely and proactively by closing off ALL bridges and tunnels instead of just the Holland Tunnel. This move inadvertently foils the Israelis' misdirection play and leads to their own capture and 40 day torture.
5. To cover up this story, the U.S. Justice Department rounds up over 1000 Arabs for minor immigration violations and places them in New York area jails. The Israelis therefore become less conspicuous as the government and media can now claim that the Israelis were just immigration violators caught in the same dragnet as many other Arabs.
6. After several months, FBI and Justice Department "higher-ups" are able to gradually push aside the local FBI agents and free the Israelis quietly.


Ah. Well, I always knew that but what about that woman in CA that incinerated in her car at 25mph versus tree. The next day she was to give a deposition on the identity of those she issued "fake" driver's licenses to...she was of course, the only person to be able to physically ID any hijacker of any nationality. And she burns up in a car which hits her neighbor's Cypress going 25 mph?

Oh yea. Right. Whatever.

Hell is an ambush. And I'll bet there are still people who don't know the USAF planned to use "kamikazee" pilots in WWII but scrapped it d/t a catastrophic crash during training (into one of its own bases, duh).

The Chargers, The Glorious Qur'an, Sura 100


By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
And strike sparks of fire,
And push home the charge in the morning,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest-
That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?

THE MINING TOWN WAVER

Silly old man walks down silly old street
waves his hand at everybody. You don't know him.
No one does. So, he must be a retarded angel.
Past the hospital, across from Dottie's Diner,
he walked every day just waving his hand in the air.
Eternity behind him, a shadow calls his name.
A thousand ghosts shimmer in a tributary

all the way back down
the other way to the Campbell Shaft.
We called to him the Philosopher King.
They say, he was born that way.

For Whom the Central School Bell Tolls

So, before WWII was even halfway over, the Reader's Digest announced that six million Jews would be dead and a "phantom" by the end of the war. Now that is just too crazy eh? What a premonition don't you think!? Is it any wonder that Israel is such a desperate nation and people?

Anyways, I finally met Alice Notley. She read my favorite poem One of the Longest Times just as one of my very dear Laundry Hill siblings is going to go in for a bit of non elective and perhaps life saving surgery. So, it was great but all in all, it was somewhat of a let down in the context of knowing no one but RAP knows what I'm talking about and why the tears just poured out when it got to the part about this stick is 'little sister" and this stick is "you". The Creosote. What would Alice Notley care?

Ahem.

I wonder if this is the company that rebuilt our home that was so badly damaged this summer?

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&article_id=79748&categ_id=17

"In July 1993, an Israeli military onslaught in South Lebanon demolished or badly damaged more than 4,700 homes; Jihad al-Binaa restored virtually all of them. Three years later, the Israelis went on an even more destructive rampage that completely or partially destroyed about 7,000 residences; Jihad al-Binaa rebuilt or repaired 6,714. This past summer, Lebanon's wrathful neighbor to the south lost all sense of proportion and damaged or destroyed at least 86,000 homes; Jihad al-Binaa sent some 1,000 engineers and 5,000 volunteers to conduct site surveys (although actual rebuilding has been delayed by the current political impasse in Beirut). Leaving aside questions of right and wrong, what can the Bush administration hope to achieve with an empty statement of hostility toward an organization that has done so much good for so many Lebanese who have suffered so much heartache because of so many bombs and shells supplied by the United States?"

Ah yes. '96 was a great one too. Very hot that summer and the six hour drive to Beirut in the river of refugees then seems just a pale memory and even then, this summer might one day pale as well.

Goodnight Alice Notley.

And I truly did enjoy the reads from Grave of Light. It looks like another success story for you.

But you know what? The American people don't give a shit. They need to suffer a little more before they can actually develop the ability to be empathetic. Sad but true. Crying and starting blogs about having flights delayed (Jet Blue)....for crying out loud. Americans are not only babies but they are stupid.

Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained

http://www.muhammadanreality.com/descentmuhammadreality.htm

This narration is from Ka`b al-Akhbar, who was known as Abu Ishaq. Ka`b was of the learned scholars of the Jews and during the blessed lifetime of the Holy Prophet {S} he lived in the land of Yemen. He did not accede to the honor of true faith during the Prophet's {s} lifetime, but only thereafter, during the Khalifa of Abu-Bakr as-Siddiq, or, according to other accounts, during the time of ‘Umar. He is referred to in some of the hadith related by the honorable companions of the Holy Prophet {S}. One of these companions, Sahif bin ‘Umar al-Ansari, claims to have heard from his father ‘Amr:

During the Holy Prophet's {s} lifetime I became acquainted with Ka`b and I used to meet him in a number of assemblies. It was his intention to come and attend the association of the Holy Prophet {S}, and without yet having met him, he confirmed that he was indeed the Seal of the Prophets; he frequently describe his characteristics to us. One day he told us that this was going to be the Holy Prophet’s last year, and that he very much wished he could make ready and go to meet him on time. He hastened his preparations and set out on the journey. There came one night, however, when he was seen to dart in and out (of the tent) at frequent intervals during the night, gazing intently at the night sky and weeping copiously.

The Importance of Being Earnest

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&categ_id=2&article_id=79625

"What does it all mean Basil?" - Austin Powers,, The Spy WHo Shagged Me




Ah, now what does it all mean nowdays? Ask a Shi'i. You need to ask one that understands what being a Shi'i is first off. Then, you need to listen to that Shi'i when that Shi'i is telling you she knows what Nasrallah is thinking before he states it openly. All one has to do actually to know that, is to read the Nahjul Balagha it seems and of course, to have faith and be certain of the afterlife. Without those three things though, you must rely on someone like me. I often tell my kids who are profoundly influenced by the dreadful societies we must live in, that "if you cannot have certain faith, have faith in someone who does." That'd be me. Um, especially when I'm telling you about Sayyed Nasrallah as opposed to some dead poet who is basically, dead.

Unfortuantely for some people it seems.

Anyway, we just celebrated the second year anniversary of the mob style hit on Valentine's Day (forget about the NINETEEN supposed hijackers and the message that was sent, heh, and there weren't even NINETEEN known culprits you know) of our beloved martyr, Rafik Hariri. He is much beloved and he is a martyr. But, and I say, BUT....was he the only one that should require such profound ceremonies and heartaches? How about the eighty people who died when Israel tried to assassignate a much beloved Shi'i scholar by the name of Fadallah? Oh, he is still alive you know and going strong. Runs Mobil gas stations through the Levant and donates everything to his well known charities, mostly orphanages.

What does it all mean? What does it mean when a week ago, Nasrallah demanded the Lebanese government return a weapons shipment to Hezbollah. Is he CRAZY?

Not at all. And when I read about it a week ago I had a great big "Aha!" Yes indeed. Beloved Sayed Nasrallah who never lets anyone down, not so far anyway. What was he doing? Admitting OPENLY that Hezbollah was receiving arms shipments? Is he really all that naive? Or, are we? Alas. His concerns are that the arms shipments will go to one of the many US backed "insurgencies" present in Lebanon (the Mossad most importantly and their minions) and will be used against the Lebanese people instead of against the usurper known as Israel. That is what they are for you know and rightfully so. Noting that the US arms Israel, pays Israel's bills and seems to have this crazy lock-step march going on with their Zionist brethren.

Nasrallah is "going on the record" so to speak. That famous record that recorded that 85% of all Israelis support Israeli war crimes against the Shi'i of South Lebanon this past summer. On THAT record called "the periodical one".

So...what else does this story mean and reflect upon? What is the message when Nasrallah holds a much smaller rally, not internationally televised or recognized commemorating the fallen Shi'i of Lebanon's brutal past as it pertains to Israeli expansionism? It means, we won't be neglected and that the Sunnis in Lebanon have fallen prey to this steady pandering to their misery over ONE fallen Sunni businessman which the US is using against the muslims as a whole. Because Nasrallah is known throughout the ME as a muslim who has faith and is worth following his every word and deed and he is being listened to before anyone is and that includes George Bush, Musa al Sadr, Ahmadinijad, Assad, the King of Jordan, Mubarak and of course, GLEN the MORON BECK.

From the article:

In a rare public appearance, Nasrallah paid tribute to the two Hizbullah leaders, and also responded to comments made by Prime Minister Fouad Siniora on Friday, as well as those made by members of the governing coalition on Wednesday during the two-year commemoration of former Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination. However, Nasrallah did not mention the international tribunal to try those accused of killing Hariri.

"We never hid the fact that we had weapons, unlike other groups in this country who demand disarmament and themselves are armed to the teeth," the leader of the resistance said. "We have many weapons of many different kinds." During the war last summer, "we didn't fight Israel with swords made of wood," he joked.

Nasrallah insisted that he would not forgive Lebanese authorities for seizing weapons from his group. "We are ready to provide the army with all the weapons that it requires ... but we will not forgive anyone who confiscates a bullet and uses it irresponsibly," he said, referring to the truck-full of Hizbullah weapons seized by the Lebanese Army, near Beirut. Defense Minister Elias Murr has said the army would use the seized weapons to fight Israel in the event of any future violation of Lebanese sovereignty.




Sura Yunus (Jonah)

[10.2] What! is it a wonder to the people that We revealed to a man from among themselves, saying: Warn the people and give good news to those who believe that theirs is a footing of firmness with their Lord. The unbelievers say: This is most surely a manifest enchanter.

1. From the Book of Confusions

Silly old man walks down silly old street
waves his hand at everybody. You don't know him.
No one does. So he must be a retarded angel. - Ode to the Mining Town Waver

As the bee tends
the tendrils of time
on the outskirts
of her metaphysical chores,
she is weightless, harmless, free.
Flowers are her chaplains,
out in space and so small.
Daisy, peony, carnation:
you paper-puzzles, you grand masters
how about me? Is this a Valentine?

Hey pollen pushers, egg minders
in the society of specialists,
who gave you your orders
to sting and mend?
All this subatomic origami, all these stars.


A must read is, The Chain of Miracles by Harun Yahya the famous Turkish anti materialism advocate and Islamic scholar. Makes you realize that the reason astrophysics is so hard for the layman to comprehend is because those describing it in the text books are lying about who invented it in the first place. They like to take a little too much credit and therefore, do not describe the invention of "something else" (Allah) as plainly as they ought to.

http://joannafrancis.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/israeli-snipers-killing-us-troops-in-iraq/

Americans are supposed to believe that rag-tag “insurgents” use IEDs powerful enough to kill three US troops per day, on average. An American soldier even set up a blog on how “Intel” is betraying and targeting US troops. But sometimes Mossad bomb-makers accidentally blow themselves up in Iraq.

According to Richard Wilson, Israeli sniping and IEDs are false flag operations. He says that on March 28, 2005, Americans arrested 19 Mossad agents who fired twice on a US Marine checkpoint. The Marines beat up the Mossad agents and tore off their Star-of-David necklaces. (The US media incorrectly said the agents were Americans.) The Mossad agents said they were employees of Zapata Engineering, which helps the CIA conduct interrogations, and also manages US ammo dumps and US motor pools in Iraq.

Rocks, Mining and Human Nature

Opals are beautiful and Alexandrite, which is somewhat similar is the most valuable stone...more expensive than a diamond of the same carat weight. Alexandrite is a stone that is measured by its degree of color change...most of them are found in Russia and there are very few with color change potential greater than 90%.

I saw one in Riyadh that was 95% and it was valued at 24,000 US dollars and weighed only one fourth of a carat. When you hold them up to LIGHT, Alexandrites can appear to be green or purple or yellow or pink or any color of the rainbow. Lower quality Alexandrites only show a few of their colors and are worth much less in dollars.

It is the one stone that is like the human being. The higher degree of flexibility, visability and change, the more valuable it is. Diamonds are really the stone of peasants. Traded for weapons you know and actually quite abundant. Like people who are unable to change colors and dimensions, the diamond is not the girl's best friend at all, but humanity's worst enemy.

In reality though, these are all only rocks. You cannot eat them and when you die, you leave them behind and you are buried under nothing but rocks and dirt.

The Light

24:35
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.


Ode To Rocks

In pockets and gardens, under
our beds for miners carry
a fair share in long gray
pails with jugs of soup
near shanks and flesh
with crusts plus those
stored in the chests.
The spare parts of the world
cast about pose a craving
as deep as the ocean is long
as the rivers are wide. A record
of perennial harvests hauled
up from the ground
on ladders of iron, even that!
Beloved fountains of slag
pour into banks of remains
where genuflection pays
paper for gold and time with loss.
Poor men fair well in shifts,
forever on the way in or out
with dirt clinging, dirt in love
with the heroic skin, part
ancient shroud part, let me in.

And I hope that the Creator is pleased with my work. I don't try to publish at all anymore...not really. I believe that my poems are recorded and will be returned to me if I am lucky enough to enter paradise.

And here is an exceptional article about the famous Russian stones:

So, I was sayin', there was a flood and this guy looked at me and said...


http://gsahist.org/gsat2/pardee.htm

"Various correspondence in the 1920s led Bretz to believe (Bretz, 1978, personal communication) that Pardee was actually considering flooding from a glacial Lake Missoula as a cause for the scabland topography. Bretz (1974) speculated that Alden dissuaded Pardee from the idea. Bretz saw a memorandum of September 25, 1922, to David White, chief geologist of the U.S. Geological Survey, in which Alden noted of Pardee's work: "... very significant phenomena were discovered in the region southwest of Spokane.... The results so far ... require caution in their interpretation. The conditions warn against premature publication." "

So far we have, silence on the Cambrian Radiation, the origin of the universe from a single point of "zero mass and infinite density" and a flood. What next, the plague?

The Heretic, one J Harlen Bretz:

"It seems then that Pardee actually considered the flood hypothesis with Lake Missoula as the source, but was probably dissuaded from pursuing such a heretical notion any further by Alden and Kirk Bryan (Pardee's superiors at the time). This idea is at least consistent with Pardee's silence when Bretz presented his rather shocking catastrophic flood idea at the now infamous 1927 "scabland debate". 2

Sometime before 1927 geologists were catching on to the seriousness of what Bretz was suggesting. If true, Bretz's theory would undermine the very foundation of Uniformitarianism. Just as anticipated, the general outcry against any hint of a catastrophic model was very loud indeed. In fact, there was a very strong desire to publicly discredit and humiliate Bretz. So, to this purpose, Bretz was asked to present his ideas in public forum to the Geological Society of Washington. Bretz himself was rather unaware of the underlying purpose of this gathering or just how hostile his audience actually was to his ideas. Unawares to Bretz, six "challenging elders", as Bretz later referred to them, were chosen to counter Bretz's claims and beat him in public debate.6

"Advice: learn poems so that you don't have to write them.
Strategies are useless testimonials."
- The Book of Warnings, D. Whitehead

This pretty life is death's comma,
we are in between, constructing
the darkest layer in the top soils
over which the eagle flies
with the owl, as same as the bug.

Once I stood on a reservation
for Indians and thought.
The wild wisdoms entered
into the world's recorder
like drugs with the cackle
of gypsies and caw of old birds.

When suddenly! Like that!
…the newest grand canyon opened
her secret vaults to receive
the sound and reek of vomit leaving the throat
of a drunkard who turned in and then, sped away.
Ah, the stories the rocks will tell.

Why an Arabic Qur'an?


http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~coby/essays/refdigl.htm

It’s a warm Friday mid-afternoon in a village in the Peruvian Highlands, not far from Cuzco. In the main plaza, a small crowd consisting mostly of women and young children – some of elementary-school age, some pre-school – is chatting in Quechua, seemingly waiting for something to arrive. And , sure enough, something does arrive: a brightly painted school bus, which stops near the crowd and disgorges a dozen or so neatly uniformed high-school students. It’s their families who have been waiting for them. But before these older boys and girls join in the Quechua chatter with their mothers and younger siblings, they bid farewell to one another and to their schoolmates who stay on the bus to go on to the next village. They talk about plans for the weekend – soccer, movies – and for the following week. How do I know this? Because this conversation is in Spanish, not Quechua.
