Finkelstein on the deafening silence of America. The motion is made that the US media stifles criticism of Israel (the sub motion on that should be, "with the DIRECT intimidation, aid and propaganda of the Zionist Lobby").

The motion is passed with a more than 2/3 majority.

A very important point in this is that the central premise of the motion is that there is a MAJOR disconnect with what average people NOW believe, talk about openly and agree upon (majority wise) and that is STILL not reflected in the mainstream US/Zionist controlled media. That means that this vote substantiates the motion on an even higher level and that would be 1. It is taking place in the UK and not the USA 2. The audience members are a majority opinion of freely attending adult students in a major institution of higher learning (again, not a US one) 3. The UK now supports an ever increasing number of muslim people 4. The Zionist media is still operating on the false assumption that everyone is as blind as they are to their disunity, disproportionate representation in the media and their complete lack of any sense of logic and 5. The illusion is proved true, the simulacra* is then a fallacy and beyond a shadow of a doubt, is an absolute IDEAL with no basis in reality.

Zionism is in its death throes and what should frighten everyone on this planet is the fact that Israel is desperate. The most desperate country on the planet.

This man, Finkelstein deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. The fact is...he will very likely be threatened, fired and otherwise ostracized. To this day, he hasn't appeared on any American News Media program.

*Baudrillard saw four (simulacra): (1) basic reflection of reality, (2) perversion of reality; (3) pretense of reality (where there is no model); and (4) simulacrum, which “bears no relation to any reality whatever.”

And people are worried the muslims are gonna
come over and cover the women?

Dear God.

http://www.leaderu.com/orgs/probe/docs/crime.html

In America, the crime clock continues to click: one murder every 22 minutes, one rape every 5 minutes, one robbery every 49 seconds, and one burglary every 10 seconds. And the cost of crime continues to mount: $78 billion for the criminal justice system, $64 billion for private protection, $202 billion in loss of life and work, $120 billion in crimes against business, $60 billion in stolen goods and fraud, $40 billion from drug abuse, and $110 billion from drunk driving. When you add up all the costs, crime costs Americans a stunning $675 billion each year.


In addition to the financial cost is the psychological cost of devastated lives and a loss of security. In recent months, even apathetic Americans have been shaken from their false sense of security as they have seen criminals invade nearly every sanctuary where they felt they were safe: their cars (James Jordan); their public transit (the Long Island Rail Road murders by Colin Ferguson); and even their bedrooms (the abduction of Polly Klaas).

Boy..I sure hope "anonymous" likes that one! Took me almost an hour to find it!

Dear Sister, I thought you'd appreciate these:

Some UFO Poetry:



Hmm. Wonder who those aliens are? Beats me!




Illegal Aliens or just the regular type? Now note, this video is shot by the Mexican Air Force. What a kick in the pantalones. For those who do not speak Spanish, those guys are counting them...I think they counted eleven. There's a couple visible in the distance besides the fabulous ones in front.






Now...there are a half dozen other "sightings" that are all really similar. Not the usual "Frisbee UFO" types of clips either. Strange eh? In any event, a nice distraction from the misery of us muslims. Apparently, the Phoenix Lights have not only occurred once but several times. And now Mexico is accusing the USA of hiding info about their "UFOlogy". And you know, William Cooper up in Eager was assassinated right after 9/11...part of his spiel was that the US was up to no good with both IRS and er..the UFOlogy stuff. He claimed to have a photo of the JFK assassination and in it, the bullet was coming from inside the car. The Eager Sheriff shot him. Pardon the pun.

"We will show them Our Signs in the furthest horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur'ân) is the truth" 41:53

I like to watch this while enjoying some "chant". Makes for a beautiful process you know. This one below is just like another that was shot by a couple and their two kids. I'll have to scout that one out and post it as well...



Heh...this one is a Japanese Alien craft sighting...um..."sounds" pretty real to me even though the "history" channel has "dramaticized" it...since when does the "history" channel indulge in so much UFOlogy?....



The Bee

[16.84] And on the day when We will raise up a witness out of every nation, then shall no permission be given to those who disbelieve, nor shall they be made to solicit favor.

Now this one is pretty damn strange...January 2006:



This is great...a little pre show footage of the O'Hare thingamajig. Too much.



And well...we were told to just go along with our ordinary business if this type of thing should happen. Not to get alarmed or anything. The actual O'Hare footage cannot be embedded (Jan 2007) but you can see it here I think:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogIfcDzTmhE

Oh and these guys are really cute:



Belgium:



And here is a comment from that YouTube in Belgium:

"It's like they want to be spotted. Maybe one alien race is trying to show us that they exist, while another race controls us and tries to hide the existence of other lifeforms. At least it would explain religion."

Well...yes. It would. And it would also speak to the Ra'ja (Return)

Oh and sister...in case I forget...you make sure K keeps her weapon with her as she babysits my pitbull. I saw a van night before last (as I was praying on the front porch which I do for three important reasons: 1. because it is quiet out there at sunset 2. because I can't find a clean place after a whole day with dogs on the carpets and I only vacuum in the daylight hours you know and 3. to remind people that there is really such a thing as "praying")...anyway...I noticed it was passing by our place really, really slow and then it stopped just past the driveway and turned around as if it were packing a group of tourists around and one of the stops was my award winning rose garden. You know...last time I went into Naco for a carton of smokes, they already had me on the radar and instead of the usual "yea Bisbee" thing...the guy asked if it was the first time I'd passed through that port of entry and he pushed a few buttons on his computer. As if...as if I didn't know that they scan the plates while you sit at that light. Duh. Man. Maybe it is just about that dumb dog that the border agent dumped on my doorstep after Allah arranged for the poor thing to be hit right in front of both him and me to prove what assholes they all are in that so called "border patrol". Maybe it is just about that and the creep is having me spooked by some of his spooky Minuteman friends. Who knows really. Who knows but tell K that I was just kidding about that weapon. She is free to sleep with it right under her pillow. I'd never own one but I'd sure regret it if she thought I meant what I said about it and something or someone got a little feisty.

Heh...and if it is those mofos at the "JDamn Fine" that are leaving these stupid messages...let them watch this since they might still be a little confused about what Zionism is and "isn't". Heh. What a bunch of losers.

We are the steadfast.

Now. I know that there are "anonymous" posters who think they have courage and all of that fabled type of thing but how many people out there know that the word "steadfast" has now come into popular usage amongst the "religious" non muslim cultures?

Guess they liked the way it worked for us. Heh.

Forget the fact that he doesn't lie and he leads an army who has defeated the most powerful countries on earth (the US and Israel). Forget that.

What a darling.

"It is a pity that we have to wait for an Israeli commission to confirm our victory. - Nasrallah, May 2007

The Victory

[48.29] Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah, and those with him are firm of heart against the unbelievers, compassionate among themselves; you will see them bowing down, prostrating themselves, seeking grace from Allah and pleasure; their marks are in their faces because of the effect of prostration; that is their description in the Taurat and their description in the Injeel; like as seed-produce that puts forth its sprout, then strengthens it, so it becomes stout and stands firmly on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the unbelievers on account of them; Allah has promised those among them who believe and do good, forgiveness and a great reward.

Translation: They are horrendously good looking and cause other people to feel really bad about themselves. Hahaha.

(Sometimes I have to wonder at a movie-going population that idolizes things like "Braveheart" and ignores heroes who are alive and well today.)

March 8, 2007

Aita al-Shaab, Southern Lebanon—Beautiful rolling hills, verdant and fertile, are dotted with olive groves and family tobacco farms in this small village on the border between Lebanon and Israel.

It was here that Hizballah captured the two Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers that kicked off last year’s July-August war. And it was here that some of the fiercest street battles raged as remaining locals joined Hizballah to fight Israeli troops. Most of the buildings still standing are scarred with pockmarks; Aita al-Shaab’s old city is remains mostly flattened, bulldozed by Israeli troops.

As dawn breaks over a ridge separating the 2km distance between Lebanon and Israel, UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) outposts glint in the early morning sun. This morning the busy sounds of reconstruction, funded primarily by Qatar, but also by Hizballah (Iran is funding road construction in the region), begins early as migrant Syrian construction workers emerge from the partially destroyed buildings where they’ve encamped.

But in the valleys below the city, rich, red dirt lies fallow even though Aita al-Shaab is an agricultural village. Fields above the town go ungrazed. Since last summer, after Israel dropped about one million cluster bombs in southern Lebanon alone—up to 40 percent of which the United Nations Mine Action Clearing Center (MACC) estimates lie unexploded--most farmers and shepherds have been too afraid to go onto their lands.

Israel has been heavily criticized for dropping 90 percent of the 2-3 million cluster bombs used throughout Lebanon during the last 72 hours of the war, after a cease-fire was agreed upon.

MACC is heading up clearing, but has a long way to go.

Thus far, 60 teams from UNIFIL (UN Interim Force in Lebanon) and private companies have cleared about 10 percent (110,000) of the unexploded munitions. Focus has been on population centers, but fields, forests, and grasslands are much harder to clear. The Israeli government has refused to turn over maps where cluster bombs were dropped, making clearing more time-consuming…and dangerous. Teams are also clearing 400,000 land mines; some are leftovers from previous wars, MACC reports, and some were planted last summer by Israeli troops.

Cluster bomb attacks part of larger plan?

Many I spoke with, like eco-system management and food sovereignty expert Rami Zurayk, believe that the Israeli government’s bombardment is a deliberate attempt to separate people from their lands.

"What’s kept people in southern Lebanon for the past 60 years of neo-liberal policy," he explains, referring to the time period since creation of the State of Israel, "is their profound attachment to the land. I believe it is Israel’s long-term strategy to create the conditions for displacement, just as they have done in Palestine."

Nearby Beint Jbeil, also intensely bombed last summer, is a case in point says Amer Sadadin of Samidoun, a volunteer network that delivered aid to southern villages after the war. Prior to 1948, Beint Jbeil was the region’s largest city with 54,000 residents, he says, but from years of occupation the majority fled elsewhere.

"Beint Jbeil now has only 4,000 people. In the '70s many of these villages were destroyed and people moved to cities like Sour (Tyre). Israel is killing life in the villages," asserts Sadadin.

"The fact that the [Israeli government’s] cleansing operation of South Lebanon is being carried out under the cover of the 'war on terrorism’ allows the international community to turn a blind eye to it," Zurayk maintains.

Comparatively, little reconstruction is taking place in Beint Jbeil; much of the city still lies in a ruin of twisted metal and piles of rubble. The Lebanese government is pushing residents in Beint Jbeil and elsewhere to rebuild with modernized buildings and wider roads, something many local residents refuse.

"The problem is people are being encouraged to bulldoze and build bigger," says Sadadin. "It’s a problem when money comes in with these pre-conditions. Old cities are a maze of history, each stone represents a memory, a relationship to historical continuity. This is exactly what we’re trying to preserve."

Samidoun is now in Aita al-Shaab with volunteer architects who are helping residents rebuild their original homes, while restoring the old city.

Farmers separated from their lands

Aita al-Shaab, as other agricultural villages in southern Lebanon, is suffering huge economic losses from their inability to farm.

Hadjia Habiba has 8,000 square meters of land that have been passed down through generations. Her lands are in parcels scattered on the outskirts of the village. Now in her seventies, Hadjia Habiba has farmed all her life and, like many here, she is economically dependent on her fields.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), agriculture makes up at least 70 percent of the economy in southern Lebanon.

Residents in Aita al-Shaab say their economy is 80-90 percent dependent on agriculture, primarily tobacco and olives.

Some of Hadjia Habiba’s lands are in Kallit Warda, where the Israeli soldiers were taken; the area still guarded by Israeli troops and she hasn’t been allowed there since last summer.

"I didn’t harvest this year at all," she laments. With hundreds of thousands of bomblets littering the fields, no one dared enter and the crops all rotted. Normally, farmers would be planting at this time, instead the fields are quiet.

"We’re still waiting for people to check for cluster bombs, which means I also can’t plant, so there won’t be any harvest this year again either. I live from the tobacco harvest 100 percent. My husband died, so this is how I’ve raised my children."

Shaking her head, Hadjia Habiba says she doesn't know what she is going to do for income.

Millions of dollars in loans have been given to Aita al-Shaab’s tobacco farmers, the only crop the government helps subsidize. About 80 percent of the farmlands here are used for tobacco since it is also the only crop that guarantees an income.

People here expressed anger and frustration with the government for its lack of support. "There’s no compensation from the government for our loss this year!" exclaims Hadjia Sara, another tobacco farmer who worries what will happen when she and others are unable to pay their loans. "Next year, we will have double the payments, plus interest. If we can’t pay, they could take our lands. What is the government doing?"

Farmers estimated only 25-30 percent of Aita al-Shaab’s farmlands are being planted this year, and out of those, only about 25 percent of what is normally planted.

About $280 million from agriculture and fisheries were lost as a result of last summer’s aggressions. Southern Lebanon and southern Beirut, the areas hardest hit by air strikes, are home to the some of the country’s poorest. Its majority are Shi’a.

The FAO plans to set up a farming assistance office in the south, but needs an additional $17 million in order to provide direct aid like replacement of livestock killed.

But, it’s not just economics that have hurt farming communities like this one, the social fabric has also been damaged. "Everyone helps to harvest each other’s lands, take the tobacco to the drying rooms, and then harvest the next field, " says Hadjia Zahra. "It was a collective effort, part of our village life. Now, we sit in our homes and don’t go out. Only half the people have returned. We are still in a state of mourning."

Of the 800-900 homes destroyed, about half have been rebuilt. The 7,000 or so people who’ve returned are crowded together, living with their families until their homes are completed.

The killing continues

Meanwhile, since the bombing stopped last August, some 200 people have been injured and another 30 killed from cluster bombs. Many referred to them as "anti-children" mines because their bright colors attract youngsters, who don’t understand their danger.

In September, three children from Aita al-Shaab were severely injured when a cluster bomb went off. Um Hassan's son was one of them.

"Two of the little village girls had gone back to their home and they found a dead fighter inside, still covered in blood," says Um Hassan. "Cluster bombs had been planted around his body as a booby trap. Thinking they were toys, the girls picked one up and went into the street to play. My son saw them and recognized the bomb from the [educational] posters. When he told them to throw it away, they panicked and threw it at his feet where it exploded."

All the children were badly injured, but Um Hassan’s son was the worst. Just 10 years old, his abdomen was completely ripped open, his intestines spilling out. He spent the next several months undergoing four operations. Hassan is finally back to attending school, says Um Hassan, but his condition is still fragile; remaining shrapnel in his stomach makes her son vulnerable to infection.

Another woman spoke of a nearby villager who was killed when harvesting his olives. "He pulled on the branches and a cluster bomb fell on his head," she says sadly.

Fortunately, these have been the only accidents here, but they are reminders of the dangers that await farmers and their children on uncleared lands.

While the MACC forces are working hard to remove remaining cluster bombs, they say farmlands and forested areas are the most difficult to clear. Bomblets hide in tall grasses and in branches of trees and wash down hills after rains to re-contaminate areas already cleared.

"This has a big psychological effect," says Sadadin. "Some friends and I went for walk when the spring flowers came, but there was a constant fear inside."

"Children here are thinking about the war more than the classroom," said another villager. "Israel wants peace, but they want us to pay for it."

Resistance takes many forms

Yet, despite the constant fears of unexploded ordnance and another Israeli attack, residents are resolute about staying in Aita al-Shaab.

Aita –al-Shaab is infamous for holding off Israeli forces last summer during three separate attacks, and people are proud of this fact. They say their resolve is even firmer than before. But for the people here, resistance is far more than just fighting.

Having watched other villages evacuated over the decades, residents say they will not abandon Aita al-Shaab.

"They tried to destroy us," exclaims Hadjia Zahra, of the Israeli forces, "but we’re not leaving! Some of us came back when the Israelis were still here. This war, people ran away, next time we’ll stay!"

When I asked one olive farmer if she is scared to harvest, she shakes her head determinedly and says no. "I’ve learned how to identify them, so I’m not afraid. And if I’m killed, then I will just join the martyrs already in heaven," she says, referring to those who died defending the village. Defying her fears of the cluster bombs is this woman’s form of resistance.

"The memory of occupation is strong here," says Sadadin. "Weapons are one tool, but resistance is also something social. Just staying on your land is a form of resistance and people here understand that."

On Being Something Certain
versus being "something else":

In the post below, I hope to encourage non muslims to understand the Quran as a very deep reckoning with historical religious facts that have been obscured by the two parties who have known of this information all along but have hidden it. They fear the day that the truth about them will be revealed and that is why they make war on Muslims worldwide.

People who have not read the Quran or who simply do not believe in "God" have a very hard time (for athiests it is impossible) understanding that the Quran is not just an ordinary book. It was revealed in a context. Most of Islam is not even in the Quran but in what is called "Al-Sunna" of the prophet which contains the "methodology" of praying, fasting, pilgrammage, etc.

The problem with non muslim religious practice is that they have ALL forgotten the Al- SUNNA (of their OWN beloved prophets/teachers). I assure you, Jesus Christ (Isa, A.S.) did not partake of his own body i.e. "The Eucharist" and did not proclaim himself as a "God". This would make him an apostate and heretic. not to mention, an "auto-cannibalistic practicioner". In essence, the entire practice of "modern" Christianity is based on a profound lie which basically relegated their own beloved prophet a unique kind of "paganistic" symbol and worse yet, he is worshiped as a statue of a man in his skivvies, nailed to a cross and bleeding. Therefore, they are also "idolators" according to the definitive descriptions of what constitutes that sort of "believer".

I also assure you that muslims DO pray the way the last prophet did. They pray in the original language of the prophet (mandatory even for non Arabic speakers). They fast according to the lunar schedule (which was the clock of those times). They make pilgrammage to Mecca, where the last prophet actually worshipped (at the Ka'aba), lived and fought for Allah. When a muslim makes what is called "Haj", they are considered to have "visited the prophet" in his lifetime. A muslim who fails to make Haj (if he is financially able) will be considered to have died in a state of being a non-muslim (polytheist/Christian/Jew/pagan..depending on their actual other practices and beliefs). A poor person however is EXEMPT from this stipulation regarding Pilgrammage. Makes complete sense you know.

I assure you that Mohamed did exist (historically), the facts of his life are not "mythological" and people do follow him and do accept that he is the last prophet sent by the One Creator. I assure you that the failure to accept that is what differentiates the "garden variety" monotheist from an actual Muslim. (For those who are "interested" in Islam and consider themselves somehow "muslim like". You are mistaken. To be a muslim you must accept the last prophet and if you think that "Monotheism" is a good enough philosophical method (tolerance I suppose) that replaces the rather arduous practice of being or becoming a muslim..you are dreadfully wrong. A muslim is a certain thing with a given description and methodology that Allah has specified clearly. The whole "myth" of a "moderate" Islam is basically the pressure the two main groups (Jews/Christians) have placed on muslims in order to force them to abandon the actual practice of PURE ISLAM (misery loves company and they hope to make muslims fail the way they have failed). Moderate Islam is actually well known and it is codified as Shi'i Islam as Ali abi Taleb (pbuh) is the Imam to suggest the "middle road" which includes things like negotiation and tolerance of the ignorant) .

I also assure you 100% that, Jesus Christ (Isa, A.S.) DID NOT EVER WORSHIP, FAST or WALK, in:

Rome.

A "pilgrammage" to Rome is nothing more than a pilgrammage to see a King or Queen. No more and no less.

Islam isn't just a "competitor" to other "religions". It is religion itself, comes on a clear and logical authority and is backed not only by reason but by scientific, numerical and philosophical proofs called "Ayat". It is of course, untenable to ANY athiest and identifying one of those isn't always easy. Some of them are hidden to their own selves and practice what we muslims call, "disambiguation" which is a kind of formal denial that has actual social indicators. One of those indicators is a complete aversion to any discussion relating to religion so if that is you, then this discussion is probably not going to make you feel satisfied or warm and fuzzy inside. In fact, this entire blog will make you want to scream. It means you are an athiest whether you know it or not.

"Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures." [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]

The Post Below

Jesus Christ according to Islam:

http://www.jafariyanews.com/articles/2k7/15jan_mubahila.htm

Event of Mubahila is famous and is known to all Muslims. Islamic scholars are united on the fact that the verse of Mubahila was revealed in regard to the Christian delegation who came from Najran to dispute the issue of Isa Ibn Maryam/Jesus son of Mary (AS) with the Prophet (SAW).

The Prophet (SAW) waited a moment while Gabriel revealed the following to him: "(Say) he was the Spirit of Allah and His Word."

The archbishop then asked: "Can he be a spirit without having a body?"

Again a revelation was sent to the Prophet (SAW) the revelation is as follows: "The similitude of Isa before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: 'Be.' And he was."

When the archbishop heard this, he jumped in objection to the Prophet saying that Isa (A.S.) was created from dust, and said: "Muhammad, We don't find this to be in the Torah, the Bible, or in the Zabour. You are the first one to say this."

This was the moment that the verse of Mubahala was revealed.

If anyone disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge hath come to thee, say: 'come! Let us gather together; our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us invoke the curse of God on those who lie!' (Holy Quran 3:61)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

The Archbishop said: "O Christians, I surely see faces of men, who if they were to ask Allah to move a mountain, He would surely do it. Do not hold this meeting, or you shall be destroyed and no Christian will remain on Earth until the Day of Resurrection."

The delegation proceeded toward the Messenger and said: "Abu Al-Qasim, relieve us (from this) solemn meeting."

Sayyed Nasrallah on the Winograd Report

http://www.jafariyanews.com/2k7_news/may/3nasrallah.htm


BEIRUT, Lebanon: Lebanese Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday he respects Israel for issuing a damning report on last year's war against his movement in Lebanon.

Speaking at a book fair in Beirut's southern suburbs, Nasrallah said: "It is worth every respect when an inquiry commission ... is appointed by (Prime Minister Ehud) Olmert ... and it condemns Olmert."

"They study their defeat in order to learn from it," unlike Arab states that "do not probe, do not ask, do not form inquiry commissions ... as if nothing has happened," Nasrallah said.

"It is a pity that we have to wait for an Israeli commission to confirm our victory.

"The first important result of the commission is that it has settled -- officially and for good -- the issue of victory and defeat," Nasrallah said. "The commission has admitted the defeat. The word 'defeat' has appeared more than 100 times" in its interim report.

On Being Loved

Isn't that what poetry is all about?

I used to travel the internet cities in order to peddle my wares and secure a little love for myself. Yes. I did. For over ten years I spent my time in various places, some great and some not so. Some were beautiful for a while and others became beautiful after I took the time to "foster" a few poets along the way. This is where it gets sticky in the world of message board (the "dreary") poetry. There are those who "poo poo" that sort of thing but what exactly are they doing? Ah, therein lays the stickiness of it all.

An experienced poet (regardless of how much poetry they have actually read or can recognize should it be the influence on another poet)....has a debt to pay to those who fostered their own growth. But, the poet cannot repay the master because the master necessarily is already, a master. So who to repay the debt to?

To the amateur.

How is this done? Is it done by blindly accepting everything the acolyte produces?

Or is that just a handy way to secure that which the poet seeks for themself be they master or prodigy or amateurish underling? The LOVE.

Absolutely and it is a rotten thing to do to another poet while simultaneously conditioning the acolyte that no one else will ever love them the way the master does. Just a really rotten practice if you ask me.

You've got to be the type of master poet that has the ability to "form" another poet the way you see fit, the way you ought to. And the poet can choose you or something else. It takes work however and most master poets are just too far above that and go instead for the cheap thrill of being the Loved Master to whom allegiance must be paid. It makes for alot of careless, witless and inane poetry.

It does no one any good. Including the master themself.

I don't usually share much about these things (or my randiness towards my husband). I only do so because I decided to visit a poetry message board again after having been kicked out of so many over the years for my brutal honesty, my cautious wit or my ability to master the art of:

Nit and Crit. There is nothing, absolutely NOTHING wrong with it. What is wrong with it is that the people who do it are more interested in the love they can get as opposed to the love they can give back. And those that can do it and do not need the love anymore (because they are masters), are selfish little misers.

*And wouldn't you like to know where it is I go. Heh.

Admonition to an Occupier
(from The Book Called I Remember)

The roses to the porch which they entwine:
Yea, all that now enchants thee, from the day
On which it should be touched would melt away! - W.Wordsworth

If it wasn't the car, it was something else like the washer or the motor in the swamp cooler. We weren't so much mechanical as we were broken. All the time. I'm still a bit paranoid about being robbed because she used to write on every single possession, right down to our towels and Bibles, Stolen From The Porters. I had no idea that it was our family monogram and every bit as Jewish. Lending something to a neighbor was a real act of bravery. There was so much on the line, the whole future practically and if a pair of pliers disappeared, a complex system of piety mixed with resentment would begin to build but never seem to go anywhere else. It just soaked into the walls with the gas fumes or settled onto shelves beside the dust and history of things.

John Gary started stealing pretty early on and I think it was the fifth grade teacher who found five cartons of cigarettes in his desk. He'd remove the moving parts from bicycles, hang the frames in the garage and spray paint them Cherry Red, leaving several outlines criss crossing the cement walls. Later he just got lazy and didn't hang them up anymore and the grass withered in red stripes all summer long. We'd ignore the fact that the property was stolen.

I see him now and again. He says he wants to get out of town but he needs six hundred bucks to do it, to get his license back and return to driving. He has to leave but he never seems to go. There is some code in all of that, a magic purpose or the cure. I hand him ten this time. The cop sees through all of this and walks on by. Not this time he thinks to himself, not this time. There's just too much going on and even the homeless have hometowns.

John Gary's eyes are like glass and he sleeps beneath the stars up on the Jeep Trail. I tend someone else's roses. The deed has my name on it but the place is just a place. A city that builds a wall never really lasts. We are all traveling save a few who have really moved in. Their porches are tight havens and their dogs say go away. I see the way things are now. I know more than all the popes.




Libretto for a Female Lead
(from The Book of Warnings)

In the opening scene
the actors address
the Syrian Armed Forces
in a Beyreuth hush.
During Act III
one of them is tortured
on the third floor of the abandoned building
the Syrians use for recreation.

Before the climax
several audience members
are asked to leave.
During the intermission
the main character ambles
through the occupied building,
talking to herself.

In the farthest room
are wine bottles and a flak jacket,
twisted pieces of old rope
and pictures of half dressed women
from magazines, their nipples
drawn as circles with red ink.

Other rooms have similar items,
pieces of stale bread,
discarded clothing
and cigarette butts.

In the closing scene of Act II
the main character finds faith
in the creator and sustainer
of the entire universe.
The curtains are drawn closed.
The audience cannot see her
but they do hear the muezzin.

During Acts I and IV
the audience is reminded to applaud
at preordained times,
the moments of liberation:
an old theater trick
for audiences who forget their lines..

In the final scene
while the main character
rises into the air
suspended by thin bungee cords,
American soldiers advance
dressed as dancers in full regalia
to lift her spirit
out of the refuse of occupation.
Ticker tape falls from the heavens.

April 1981, May 2007, Jihad
(from The Book Called I Remember)

I remember laying down
with you above me
the first time we made love.
I remember the shirt you wore
and told you they look like epaulettes
i.e. those strips of fabric
sewn onto the shoulders
of your shirt
as you held yourself
over me and for the tenth
or eleventh time, died
your martyr's death into me.
How I wish I could have
been the innocent you were.
As I looked up at you
propped on your two arms
I knew I loved something
so I said it was you.
I hardly knew you
we hardly knew each other
but you agreed.
How far away from home
we were and unlettered
and no matter where
our country is now,
we are always there..






The Dark Pages of Time

It was half dark then.
We walked when we were awake,
hoping to find the everlasting
day, warm and bright.
The moon our lamp and we
did not know why or how
it got there nor why
it was so stingy with us.
Was a long time before
the first fires, still longer
until we took the leaves and branches
and lit them up, threw our heavy coats off and still longer
until we stored the dried up brew
from the massive cups of water
we had to drink against our wills,
our platforms sloshing, animals rutting
and most of the draught too bitter to swallow.
Still it was even longer
before we said our graces
so intent we were, on survival,
our eyes glazed over at the flickers,
no need for memory or prediction,
which came next. Our pictures
made of blood and boiled roots
splayed lonely in the sooted caves
once we left them but we hoped,
we did hope for a companion
who would search us out on our trek
which we called with our tongue
the bitter enemy or simply,
the deliverance. Idiosyncratic stories
cropped up and helped us to settle
the places of reap and sow. Fighting
began slowly over putrefying fats,
black pools of no return that lit the way.
Cess pools of death and destruction
where each fire was a tiny star
between fantastic distances,
each star a little soul or a village.
The fuel of the fire, man
it said. Some of us listened
and some of us were instructed
by the melting stones appearing
from the sky in strange, indefinite interims.
We hoped to catch the brittle cracks
between the smokes above our heads
to no avail. We named the hopeless condition
war and the fullness of our caves peace.
Language a weak reminder
for the darkness we thought to leave behind.

Is Israel responsible?










You bet. And no one dares say that. They say EVERYTHING ...... But That.

From the Glorious Quran,
the Proof called The Poets

Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds:
With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth-
To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish.
In the perspicuous Arabic tongue.
Without doubt it is (announced) in the mystic Books of former peoples.
Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
Had We revealed it to any of the non-Arabs,
And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it. (Because they wouldn't have understood the language)

..and it goes on to say:


Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?
They descend on every lying, wicked person,
(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.
And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:
Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-
And that they say what they practise not?-

Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!

The Muddle We Are In

Which sky does the wind
whip through now,
which city is torn apart
and blended; which one
isn't? Fighters defend
one after another
with flags and buckshot,
where to hit
the wind? Where can
so much water go
if the wind makes peace
and leaves the load
without a treaty, sans
policy in a stalemate
of disillusionment?
These blossoms cannot lie:
when the bee quits,
she quits. When the river
stops, she stops.
When death comes, we agree.

"Soon We will show them our signs in the (farthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?" (The Glorious Quran, 41:53)

"Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures." [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]

If a new object or a machine, which no one in the world has ever seen or heard of before, is shown to an atheist or any person and then a question is asked, " Who is the first person who will be able to provide details of the mechanism of this unknown object? After little bit of thinking, he will reply, ‘the creator of that object.’ Some may say ‘the producer’ while others may say ‘the manufacturer.’ What ever answer the person gives, keep it in your mind, the answer will always be either the creator, the producer, the manufacturer or some what of the same meaning, i.e. the person who has made it or created it. Don’t grapple with words, whatever answer he gives, the meaning will be same, therefore accept it.

http://www.islam101.com/religions/provingGodExists.htm

Let us apply this theory of probability to the Qur’an, and assume that a person has guessed all the information that is mentioned in the Qur’an which was unknown at that time. Let us discuss the probability of all the guesses being simultaneously correct.

At the time when the Qur’an was revealed, people thought the world was flat, there are several other options for the shape of the earth. It could be triangular, it could be quadrangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, spherical, etc. Lets assume there are about 30 different options for the shape of the earth. The Qur’an rightly says it is spherical, if it was a guess the chances of the guess being correct is 1/30.

The light of the moon can be its own light or a reflected light. The Qur’an rightly says it is a reflected light. If it is a guess, the chances that it will be correct is 1/2 and the probability that both the guesses i.e the earth is spherical and the light of the moon is reflected light is 1/30 x 1/2 = 1/60.

Further, the Qur’an also mentions every living thing is made of water. Every living thing can be made up of either wood, stone, copper, aluminum, steel, silver, gold, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, oil, water, cement, concrete, etc. The options are say about 10,000. The Qur’an rightly says that everything is made up of water. If it is a guess, the chances that it will be correct is 1/10,000 and the probability of all the three guesses i.e. the earth is spherical, light of moon is reflected light and everything is created from water being correct is 1/30 x 1/2 x 1/10,000 = 1/60,000 which is equal to about .0017%.

The Qur’an speaks about hundreds of things that were not known to men at the time of its revelation. Only in three options the result is .0017%. I leave it upto you, to work out the probability if all the hundreds of the unknown facts were guesses, the chances of all of them being correct guesses simultaneously and there being not a single wrong guess. It is beyond human capacity to make all correct guesses without a single mistake, which itself is sufficient to prove to a logical person that the origin of the Qur’an is Divine.

..and for those of the Hindu-Buddhist persuasion (the opposite of Judeo Christian blends):

http://www.islam101.com/religions/hinduism/Mhs.htm
http://www.islam101.com/religions/hinduism/conceptOfGod.htm

Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.

The difference between "Islam" and the "sects" of Islam i.e. Hinduism, Judaism, Christianism, Animism, Shintoism, etc....is exactly that. They are SECTS of Islam and their sacred texts have been obscured, vanished or mistranslated and are no longer read by the oppressed majority within those sects. Those who can and do understand the meaning of such texts no longer possess power over the beliefs of the people due to a myriad of causes. The Quran on the other hand, for those that are not opposed to the Creator of the Creation, has a known lineage, is in the ARABIC tongue of the prophet who related it and the authorship can be verified using the ayat which are notably scientific, rhetorical and impossible to copy (numerically balanced). The most important aspect of that however is that the Quran is the last commentary. There are no more chances after it to comprehend the story of the world and the progenitor of its secrets, its laws, and its inevitable demise.

Nice rag even if it is a bit too politically correct for the average Shi'i:

http://www.islamicamagazine.com/

Ye olde intrepid Islamicist, Karen Armstrong:

But the Pope's good intentions seem far from obvious. Hatred of Islam is so ubiquitous and so deeply rooted in western culture that it brings together people who are usually at daggers drawn. Neither the Danish cartoonists, who published the offensive caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad last February, nor the Christian fundamentalists who have called him a paedophile and a terrorist, would ordinarily make common cause with the Pope; yet on the subject of Islam they are in full agreement.

It is really too bad that Bush didn't succeed. But really, this had to happen sooner or later. Some of us (mostly Shi'i) hoped for later but I guess it had to be sooner.

Even before that committee meeting, on April 16, Senator Clinton wrote a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Mike Johanns, asking “that you provide us (a bipartisan group of senators) with an expedited report on the immediate steps that the Department is and will be taking to determine the causes of CCD, and to develop appropriate countermeasures for this serious disorder. In particular, we ask for a specific explanation of how the Department plans to utilize its existing resources and capabilities, including its four Agricultural Research Service honeybee research labs, and to work with other public and private sector enterprises in combating CCD.” These are fine questions indeed. (28)


If CCD proves to be more than a one-time seasonal fluke, the job of beekeeping just got a lot harder. Pollination can’t be outsourced, although it isn’t too difficult to imagine fields full of exploited underclass laborers pollinating crops by Q-tip. Let’s hope we never have to go there.

....yea, pretty soon the gringos are gonna be BEGGING those Mexicans to come back after havng deported them. Now that would sure be an exercise in humiliation for the White Man.


From the Proof called The Bee, #16 in the Glorious Quran

16:75
Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not.

16:76
Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way he directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way?

16:77
To Allah belongeth the Mystery of the heavens and the earth. And the Decision of the Hour (of Judgment) is as the twinkling of an eye, or even quicker: for Allah hath power over all things.

Midnight at the Oasis

"Nothing in Clouds Hill is to be a care upon the world. While I have it there shall be nothing exquiste or unique in it. Nothing to anchor me." T.E. Lawrence

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
Kick up a little dust

Oh, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'til the evening ends
'Til the evening ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, [romancer]
And you can be my sheik

I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him,
they all send him
Jump at his beck and call

But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, oh no
When I take you for a ride

Oh, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'til the evening ends
'Til the evening ends

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads...


Ah. Two weeks and three days until lift off.

The reasons given for the American invasion of Iraq have been exposed as lies, revealing America as either a country of fools and idiots or of war criminals. Worldwide polls show that America is no longer regarded as a guiding light but is tied with Israel as the second greatest threat to world stability.

Hmm. Well no. The US invasion of Iraq is actually quite a success for Israel. Israel knows about Islam...are you kidding me! Oh I find it so damn hilarious to think that people are so ignorant of that FACT. They have been using the Quran for AGES. The Quran says so even..they put it behind their back. They know it is true and no doubt, they have used the numerical information in it to advance technologies that hmm, they surpass anyone on the planet right now in "devising". Things like NANOTECHNOLOGY in which they make MICROSCOPIC KNIVES to put in bombs and slice people open with DUST. True and they are right now "testing" it on their own guinea pigs: the Palestinians and perhaps very soon, the Shi'i of South Lebanon. Bad choice I'd say.

Israel knows who the HEIRS to religious knowledge are and will be and that is yes, the Shi'i. You see, they wanted to buy some time and they have succeeded "somewhat" in buying a little more time to figure out another catastrophic war plan for the world (and it very well may be Iran and there very well may be another false flag operation)...I guess to delay the final exposure of their lies, manipulation of world religion, exploitation of every poor country from Albania to Zimbabwe.

Allah only hides a nation's crimes for so long...kind of gives people the rope with which to hang themselves by (per Quran). And there old Israel is just dangling by a hair. Their time has finally come but they do have a bit more left because they successfully DELAYED the formation of another Shi'i Islamic State (the real reason the US went to war was this) by inflaming something that they were WELL aware of i.e. the Sunni/Shi'i problem (so they think). The Gog and Magog of Monotheism. They are quite pleased about this you know i.e. the sectarian violence in Iraq. Think about it, when was the last time you read about their sympathy for the Iraqis in one of their periodicals? They have none.

Yet. The US has to leave Iraq now. Unless Israel engineers a false flag operation to drag the US into a war with Iran (and I am not ruling out that absolutely desperate action by the Jews). And when that happens...I suppose they will have forgotten what the Shi'i did to them last summer. Did it with the help of Allah by gosh! All victory belongs to Allah and Allah did not write a story in which he was the loser. No way man!

Allah knows them and this has all been decided already. I don't know..that gives me a certain sort of peace you know. A certain sort of peace and an idea that I only live because I cannot die. Allah won't let me.

Damn. I guess he wants me to witness the upcoming reversions in the West. I guess I want to so I shouldn't be so hasty for the grave.

And out of sympathy for the decent Americans who had no idea about all of this...there is this consolation: IT HAD TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER AND IT AIN'T REALLY YOUR FAULT. We muslims knew that this had to be settled "one day" between those who follow the Ahlul Bayt (House of the Prophet) and those who follow the "Sunni" Caliphs (who were the model for the great novel known as The Prince) and are very much a misguided people, corrupt, greedy, murderous and oppressive. The average Moe Sunni of course may not be aware of whom they have been following because they too have been forced to follow the "seditionists" called the Sunni (Ahl al Sunna)...they are just as oppressed as the next guy. It is the leaders that are on the chopping block and even their own Al Qaeda wants their heads in nooses (the Al Saud family, King Hassan of Jordan, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt). I supported Bush for exactly this reason. I hoped to delay this horrendous and necessary conflict. All muslims did because we are not "Armageddonists" by law. We know about it but we are told not to "hasten it on". Contrary to these nuts called the Christian Zionist Jews who have been slobbering for the chance of Armageddon for their entire histories. They are a completely new sect in the history of Islam composed of completely misguided Christians and completely evil Zionists. Heh, I guess they think that they will get to sit around after Armageddon is over and talk about it over a cup of tea. Not. And anyway, we muslims know that Armageddon isn't what they think it is.

Allahu Akbar. Al ham'du'lillah. Allah Kareem.

It came just a few days before the release of a report by a government-commissioned panel that’s expected to criticize Olmert’s handling of the 34-day war against Hezbollah, prompting many Israeli analysts to speculate that the prime minister wouldn’t survive the political fallout and would be forced to step down.

Eisenkott’s remarks assert speculations of several Middle East analysts who said that Israel used Hezbollah’s capture of the two soldiers as an excuse for launching the deadly offensive in Lebanon, in which more than 1,200 mostly Lebanese civilians died.

The Israeli army also lost 116 soldiers, and 43 civilians who were killed by more than 4,000 Hezbollah rocket attacks.

I wonder, do the bees speak different languages?

"You can see climate change really clearly these days in Taiwan," said Yang Ping-shih, entomology professor at the National Taiwan University. He added that two kinds of pesticide can make bees turn "stupid" and lose their sense of direction.

As affected beekeepers lose business, fruit growers may lack a key pollination source and neighbors might get stung, he said.

Billions of bees have fled hives in the United States since late 2006, instead of helping pollinate $15 billion worth of fruits, nuts and other crops annually. Disappearing bees also have been reported in Europe and Brazil.

The problem, says Haefeker, has a number of causes, one being the varroa mite, introduced from Asia, and another is the widespread practice in agriculture of spraying wildflowers with herbicides and practicing monoculture. Another possible cause, according to Haefeker, is the controversial and growing use of genetic engineering in agriculture.

As far back as 2005, Haefeker ended an article he contributed to the journal Der Kritischer Agrarbericht (Critical Agricultural Report) with an Albert Einstein quote: "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

Mysterious events in recent months have suddenly made Einstein's apocalyptic vision seem all the more topical. For unknown reasons, bee populations throughout Germany are disappearing -- something that is so far only harming beekeepers. But the situation is different in the United States, where bees are dying in such dramatic numbers that the economic consequences could soon be dire. No one knows what is causing the bees to perish, but some experts believe that the large-scale use of genetically modified plants in the US could be a factor.

How Many Good Guys
Were There In The Rubble?

I'll tell you a little secret about what is exactly being withheld from you.

It isn't the overall numbers. Anyone with a good memory and a calculator can tell you that the entire campaign the West is waging against Islam in Iraq is over 1,000,000.

What they are withholding is the evidence that will tell you, the DEAR READER here, who is actually dying.

The majority of those who have been massacred are Shi'i. Yes. They are the good guys since so many people do not understand Islam and do not understand the vast array of political problems both internally and externally provoked.

For three long years in Iraq (not talking about the first US invasion of Iraq (when the US deceived the Shi'i into an uprising against Saddam that cost many Shi'i lives) nor the US/Saudi backed Iran/Iraq war) the Shi'i were being massacred on bridges, near mosques, in marketplaces. The long standing QUIETISM of the Shi'i kept them for a long time from reacting to this most modern outrage against the followers of what is called "The Ahlul Bayt" i.e. the family members of the Prophet Mohamed (SAW) which is: his daughter, his first cousin and daughter's husband Ali (pbut) and their two children Hasan and Hosayn (pbuh who was murdered at Kerbala so long ago by the Sunnis themselves). The Ahlul Bayt does not include the many second, third or eighth degree cousins who were called the "Companions" and who witnessed a great many things both ordinary and miraculous in those times of prophethoods and miracles. Three of those "Companions" were not good people and they created the EXTRANEOUS sect of Islam: Sunnism by usurping what is known as "Divine Right", the real kind. From Allah.

Real Divine Right isn't a material "office". It is an office possessed in those with knowledge and cannot really be taken from those who possess it. The only thing the Sunnis successfully took (and ruined) is the material office of "Kingships".

"They" as in the whole bunch of corrupt individuals involved in this most unnatural natural disaster do not want YOU to know because then YOU will also know about Iran and Israel. They are in head to head combat over the KNOWLEDGES. Israel and the "Jews" lost their rights a very long time ago you know. And they do not stand a chance in this fray. They know that but they also want you to believe that they are uninvolved in the prevention of actual Divine Right because when in fact you do understand it, you will no longer be a slave to ANYONE'S oppression and least of all, theirs.

You need to study this in order to fight "them" whoever they may be. And whatever they tell you, don't give up on your search for the FACTS. It is NEVER to late to start..until yer dead. Then of course your own personal case is "sealed". As a whole though the world has an obligation now to those so called "pitiful" and "oppressed" people to back the ones that do know what they have and how to use it.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070425/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_un_report

Working with its own figures, the U.N. released a new human rights report Wednesday saying that sectarian violence continued to claim the lives of a large number of Iraqi civilians in Sunni Arab and Shiite neighborhoods of Iraq's capital, despite the coalition's new Baghdad security plan. Begun Feb. 14, it has increased U.S. and Iraqi troops levels in the capital.

I'm here to tell you, the Shi'i have HAD ENOUGH. They aren't going to sit back any longer and be quiet while ignorant people blame them for the things the Sunnis have done in this world.

The oppressed will only remain oppressed long enough to get their forces together.

**Reading between the lines of that paragraph. THE argument is whether to release this data to encourage more sectarian violence or withhold it and risk you will find out on your own what both of them are up to and that would mean the US//saudi-sunni/UN coalition and the Zionists aka "Jews" before they can come up with yet another devious assault plan by capitalizing on Western partisan political "forgetfulness" in which one party is constantly blaming the party that just left office.

The one thing I can say is at least Americans have at last started their own personal JIHAD. Ijtihad is the word that implies critical thinking. It means the "personal internal struggle" of morality itself and is used to define the process a person or a population goes through to diagnose it's own problems and find it's own solutions which will naturally be CULTURALLY DETERMINED.

Does anyone who actaully believes in "God" not realize that "God" (read: Allah) was well aware of what the future would bring?

And it all started with seat belts and bans on smoking. Not bad if you ask me and hope is not at all lost for me.

Call It Anything But What It Is

There is a fear going on
out there in the Calla Lillies.
Everyone knows about it

It's an empty ohh no

with new details and tags.
There was a house
of big and empty
that I wanted
all of a sudden
or maybe it wanted me.
I don't know why
because there isn't much
to want anymore
and a house open
like that is never greedy,
it's pretty much free.
The flowers there
weren't as thirsty
as they used to be,
that was obvious.
But I wanted that
and that
scared me as much
as the untended grass.
But still the question
remained, why?
Why want that?
Because it is big?
Or because it is beautiful?
Or maybe because it was sudden
and it never seemed to be there
before. I know it was never
there before. I'd bet my life on it.
Maybe the houses
trap everyone inside
before it is too late
and then it is.
So it is this slow panic
of normal intensity, a generalized
fear about everything
and everyone knows about it.
It's an empty ohh no
and they talk about these parts
all the time. Just a little
every day and without the index.
Hopeless. Well fed. Insatiable.
If only it weren't true.
There is the Elect and the Elected.
There are the pious.
There is only one door
and the load is so heavy.

Bisbee Free Radio. It is an excellent station. What can I say...they were smart enough to interview me weren't they? Always nice sounds and good talk including those annoying NPR types who we all love for their tendency to question authority.

If anything, the broadcast will give listeners the opportunity to hear one of the most famous poets in the world. Dick Bakken. You just cannot grasp what it is Dick does by reading his work. You have to experience it LIVE!

My work...well. I'd just turn off the radio for that part. I'm a horrible reader. I write for the page not the podium.

But you gotta do what you gotta do to spread the word.

A Few Signs and Symptoms:

At the end of time, their rulers will cause My people severe trouble in such a way that there will be no comfort for Muslims anywhere. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 12)

The Hour will come when adultery becomes widespread. (Al-Haythami, Kitab al-Fitan)

The Last Hour will not be established until they (wicked people) commit adultery on the roads (public ways). (Ibn Hibban and Bazzar)

Men will imitate women; and women will imitate men. (Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti, Durre-Mansoor)

People will indulge in homosexuality and lesbianism. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal)

There will be prevalence of open illegal intercourse. (Bukhari)

The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until murders will increase. (Bukhari)

Allah's Messenger (saas) said: 'The Harj (will increase).' They asked, 'What is the Harj?' He replied, '(It is) killing (murdering), (it is) murdering (killing).' (Bukhari)

Great cities will be ruined and it will be as if they had not existed the day before. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman)

There are two great incidents before the day of Judgment... and then years of earthquakes. (Narrated by Umm Salama r.a.)

The poor will grow in number. (Amal Al-Din Al-Qazwini, Mufid Al-'ulum Wa-mubid Al-humum)

Gains will be shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor. (Tirmidhi)

Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which (religious) knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and general ignorance will spread... (Bukhari)


There will be a brief dark trial which will not fail to afflict everyone of this community and then when people think it is finished it will start all over again. During it a man may be a believer in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening. (Abu Dawud)

There will come a time upon the Ummat when people will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go further than their throats, (into their hearts). (Bukhari)

Before the Last Hour there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening, or a believer in the evening and infidel in the morning. (Abu Dawud)

A time will come when a man will not care about how he gets things, whether lawful or unlawful. (Bukhari)

There will appear in latter times a people who will gain this world with the help of religion. (Tirmidhi)

The Last Hour will not be established until there will remain those people who will neither be aware of the virtues and never prevent the vices. (Ahmad)

The Last Hour will not come before Allah takes His religion away from the people of the earth, leaving no one in it but heathens who do not recognise right or object to wrong. (Reported by Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As)

The Last Hour will not come before there come forth thirty Dajjals (imposters), each presenting himself as an apostle of Allah. (Abu Dawud)

The rebuilding of the ruined places in the world, and the ruination of constructed places are signs and portents of Doomsday. (Ismail Mutlu, Kýyamet Alametleri, (Signs of the Last Day), Mutlu Publications, Istanbul, 1999, p.138)

A Few Words About 2007

Almost tired now, this century
ought not have started you
know but it just keeps on going.
This is a daffodil party,
a sturm and drang dry season
with a lot of wind though
to cool these upset stomachs
and winsome inclinations.
It's about spring now or couldn't
you tell ??? the bees over
in the cottonwood trees -
a good team. Go team, go bees.
Only 93 more until
the next hazing and then some
but we keep on keepin on,
we just go team go team
until there isn't go enough
to go around. A plenty,
we are so full of aplenty
that to stay home and take
some is just about right
and it is the suggestion.
Just get in there and hide
say the bees and later
that day I see the Bee Guy
go by and I know we
were talking Africanized.
So it is about a few minutes
later and I just can't wait
for this century to end.

Iranian Yankee in Byzantium, a modern fable.

It was a fine day for an excursion. Me on my own and able to take the fine trains that always run on time in Istanbul. We were there for a C=O=N=V=E=N=T=I=O=N of business minded individuals, the New World Order types and all. I wasn’t invited to those thank the Locomotive of the Lord (another poet's words, not mine), thank that! No, I, like all ‘business wives’ was allowed to hook up with one of the other poor sods left behind in hotel rooms, or, I could take some sort of flower arranging lessons in the hotel mezzazine with the older European crowd that usually claim to have lived in Zanzibar. So I decided to Hoboken it down into Istanbul proper. I’d been there before to Istanbul, to all the gala rug shows and tea parties about ten years before when we had that awful crash near the Hittite Hideouts.

What I wanted to do was trot on down to that Topkapi Palace. Ah. One could stay in there for days and not get enough of it. Wonderbar. I took a notebook (so unlike me to do that sort of thing) and make some sketches to remind me of the visuals (like that horse in a painting which had a human face, spooky man!).

Of course, that secret policia fellow was on my trail and met me as I disembarked from the Oriental Express which is filled with more and more hijaby clad women than you can shake a stick at. They can’t attend public universities dressed like that you know so instead they ride trains to the textile factories there. There are RULES if you know what I mean and make sure if you ever go there, DO NOT MENTION KAMAL ATATURK’S RESEMBLANCE TO COUNT DRACULA. If you do, the thugs will follow you all over creation and to kingdom come. And don’t have a car accident or they’ll take you to their secret prisons to cry over the fact that the portrait of KAMAL ATATURK on the wall looks just like COUNT DRACULA. Armenians my butt. They’re all over the place here buddy, Byzantium which is a wide area encompassing some of the best real estate between the Sahara and the Gobi. They usually speak five to seven languages and some of them even live in France! Imagine the horror of that diaspora! But that is what they call, “off topic”.

So anyways, I took my time and meandered through all the tools of ancient warfare, the kitchen utensils of the ancients, the special clocks and family albums until at last I sat down outside the HAREM to make up my mind whether or not I wanted to pay the extra ten bucks it costs to go in and see how the real burqa clad crowd suffered…such exotic excesses there if you know what I mean. Diamond encrusted couches and pillow cases made of something a bit nicer than percale.

This kid was sitting out on the bench near me and I struck up a conversation with him. You know, kids will generally say the darnedest things and I usually prey on them like potato blight. Little spuds. So I asked him where he was from and he started to look really scared all of a sudden. I thought to myself, Aha, I guess the secret policia got hold of you too. He just wouldn’t spill the beans. I was about to get out my rubber hoses and smack him around a little (legal in some policia states nowdays, even if yer a kid) when all of a sudden his family showed up and eyed me real mean like. Like, What are you doin’ to my kid here?

Nice people but terribly nervous. When they told me they were from New York via Iran I said, Oh yeah. I would be too, nervous that is. Yer probably nervous ALL THE DAMN TIME.

So I went on and on as I usually do about how our Hezbollah was doing such a fine job of liberating our people down in the boondocks. You know how it is. Loud mouthed naïve that I tend to be.

They just looked at me and shook their heads. The dad looked me SQUARE in the eye and said, “We’re Jewish.”

Damn if that didn’t make me feel like an ass. But after we got that out of the way, we had a good time for five or ten minutes swapping tales of the Orient. It was a good day all in all. And then I took the train home. What a nice ride.
