THE MISADVENTURES OF AN ESOTERIC INVESTIGATOR

My Friends,

Seriously, I mean it, you're my friends.  I'm not John McCain and just using it to seem friendly when in fact he is a grouchy bag of ass.  In my meanderings on the intarwebz today, I came across a video from today where John McCain refers to the audience as "my fellow prisoners." 

At first, I was all "HA-HA", that he was a P.O.W. and just had a senior moment.  Then I thought about the fact that as of October 1st, 2008, the United States is legally a battleground for the War on Terror.  Add this to the fact that for the first time ever, the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has been deployed in the United States as an "on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks."  Add to this the fact that Representative Brad Sherman said on the floor of the House that he and other Representatives were told in private conversation, were warned, that if they did not pass the bailout bill right away, that the President would declare martial law.

Naomi Wolf and others are calling this a coup of the United States government, arguing that over the past eight years, the United States has followed the 10 Steps Toward Fascism, and that these recent developments are part of that movement.  Normally, I would chalk that up to conspiracy theory and surely that would never happen here, but this has me worried.  I am reminded that Dubya's grandfather, Prescott Bush plotted with other industrialists to overthrow FDR and transform the United States into a fascist state like Germany and Italy at the time.

One can only say conspiracy and coincidence so long, right?  If I wrote a novel about a man who became President, who tried to fulfil his faither's failures (Iraq) and his grandfather's failures (Fascism), no one would buy it - it would seem too implausible, but here it is in facts looking us in the eye.  It's a scary place and I'm going to step out of it right now and get a nice cup of tea and tell myself I'll vote Obama in four weeks and everything will start to get better, that this mass craziness will begin to reverse itself and we can go back to being a sane, rational nation, that shining city of John Winthorp, not Ronald Regan, thank you very much.

Happy coincidenting!


And all the opposition can say to these very specific pieces of evidence is "Conspiracy theorists are absurd and crazy!"

Fifth Circle of the Pentagon Sealed
otherworldly daemons once again contained


America's central military command and eternal prison of the ancient Soggoth — a variety of daemon with unspeakable capacity for evil — was not sufficiently damaged in the attacks to rupture the fifth, innermost circle of the building. But American engineers and wizards felt that a rapid rebuilding of the four outer circles of eternal containment be reconnected — thus completing the Five Circles of Isis and preventing the Soggoth's escape. With the Soggoth contained, the continuation of the American military's control of the underworld, black magic, and of evil itself is all but assured.

Good Morning to All and to Me a Good Night!
I've finished "earthly powers" and overall it was a good book. I'm still thinking about it two days after finishing it, so that speaks a volume in itself. There were some interesting twists in the end, and like all fictional biographies covering long spans of time, I had to watch a lot of characters I grew to like, DIE. But "that's life" as they say.
As much as I've been avoiding doing so, I've recently started reading all the conspiracy theories surrounding the 9-11 attacks. Like all conspiracy theories, there is a lot of complete nonsense and kooks. There are a lot of 'weird' things surrounding the whole escapade, so like with all conspiracies, I'm taking the whole thing as a beautifully complex and fanciful story. I always find it interesting the machinations of the human mind when it tries to engage a Mystery.
I am, however, about to go to sleep, because I must be up by 2pm Central Standard Time, and my brain functions are running at a very low wattage right now. We've had 'workers' replacing drywall in the downstairs bathroom, so my sleeping, like my brain functions, has been low as well.
Tah-Tah.
