Quote of the Day:

"Short Man, Large Dream. I send my rockets forth

    between my ears,

Hoping an inch of Will is worth a pound of years.

Aching to hear a voice crack back along the universal Mall:

We’ve reached Alpha Centauri!

We’re tall, O God, we’re tall!"

~Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), "If only we had taller been".

Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the 'moron' part), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master of the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he pursues his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or 'paranormal' --a term he personally detests... When he's not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found blogging, doodling, fooling around and offering his services as news administrator and writer at The Daily Grail. He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go? He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership in Mexico City. absurdbydesign.com

    RPJ, you have ways of making us post! I feel so guilty about not posting, so guilty about not posting, I do, I do.

      1. Guilt Free
        Haha! I’ve decided to take Greg’s advice and “Don’t Worry” (whether there’s an Afterlife or not). This week I accepted a job offer and I’m ending my unforced early retirement. Felt there was no rush to save the world from bad history and archeaology and that I should save this passion for the time when I can’t do anything else (anybody would actually pay me for!).

          2. Hasta Manana
            I used to say I’d rather burn out than rust out … until I burned out! Rust is looking real good!!

  2. Religion Strikes Again! Religion Is Ignorance By Another Name!
    Red Pill,

    Religion is ridiculous! Religious intollerance is an insult to the intelligence of South Koreans and everyone else. Yet, Christians are supposed to believe that God Fornicated With The Virgin Mary To Bring His Son Into The World! Therefore, evolution is bad and fornication is good! Bull SH!T!!!

      1. No, You Misunderstand!
        [quote=red pill junkie]So… if I like Evolution… I can’t like Fornication?

        NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOoOoOoO!!!!!!!!11[/quote]

        Red Pill,

        Religion tries to make us do unnatural things, i.e. oppose evolution and/or fornication. It is natural be interested in evolution and fornication. A day without fornication is like a day without sun shine and a week without fornication is hell!

        Now, that I think of it. Since God rolled the Virgin Mary over to fornicate with her, she’s not a virgin anymore!

          The reason I chose that news was this: In less than a single generation, South Korea had turned from a run-of-the-mill developing nation under the shadow of the Rising Sun, to a full-blown industrial powerhouse with Samsung outshining Sony.

          All that was due to the investment they made in their education courses. S. Korea became a role model for Latin America and Mexico in particular.

          They were going to have tablets instead of books for crying out loud!

          But now, they are making the same mistakes America made in the 80s, and they’ll suffer dearly for it.

          1. I Understand Where You Are Coming From!
            Red Pill,

            What the U.S. did in the 1980s has its roots in the Presidency of Jimmy Carter. It was actually a reversion to attitudes that developed during the great depression that lasted from 1929 until WWII. These attitudes finally died out in the 1950s. The intellectual movement that evolved in the 1960s and early 1970s developed in the 1950s. The 1950s movement advocated questioning of everything in order to try to gain a better understanding. I come out of the 1950s movement which included the concepts of free love and personal responsibility; but, it didn’t include drugs, flower power, and the idea that if it feels good you should do it. Those were deviations that Psychologists and psychiatrists introduced and pushed! They were not part of the main intellectual movement. Psychologists and Psychiatrists destroyed the 1960s and early 1970s. And, that lead to the reversion in the 1980s.

            In the case of South Korea, it is the result of Korean Culture, which is very traditional, and religious influences, mainly Buddhist and Christian. So, I don’t expect the same results. In my opinion this is just a passing fad; because, most South Koreans agree with evolution. I think that it is an attack on the traditional straight line way of teaching evolution. But, the Christy South Korean Christians are getting their jollies!

          2. Those Psychiatrist Douches

            Psychologists and Psychiatrists destroyed the 1960s and early 1970s. And, that lead to the reversion in the 1980s.

            I think that *may* be something of a stretch, don’t you think? 😉

            Many things converged in the 60s that eventually led to its demise. There was a little war in Vietnam, for instance.

            But, getting back to the psychiatrists –and the anthropologists (Castañeda)– who started to promote drugs as a fast-lane to enlightenment, nobody pushed those drugs down people’s throats –oh wait, the CIA did :3

            What I mean is one should exercise personal responsibility. The Flower-power movement advocated for the abandonment of all power institutions –governments, banks, churches, families– yet they didn’t offer anything valuable in return that could replace them.

            So, with each generation that dabbles in extreme hedonism, there’s a revert to puritanism as a reaction –that’s why the sons of hippies became lawyers; you always have to go against what your parents told you 😉

            But getting back to S. Korea, I do hope they solve that problem.

            The 1960’s can be divided into two general parts, before and after John F. Kennedy was assinated on November 22, 1963. According to Johnson’s mistress in this interview Johnson had Kennedy Killed. Jackie Kennedy and E. Howard Hunt also thought that Johnson had Kennedy killed. http://silverbearcafe.com/private/lbjmistress.html

            Part 2 Will be coming soon!

          4. Yep
            That also had a major impact in the 60s for sure. It kind of marked America’s loss of innocence.

            President Kennedy was in many ways a work in progress. But, he inspired hope and self reliance. Unfortunately, President Kennedy also inspired the U.S. Military and the CIA to hate him.

            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy

            He opposed the invasion of Cuba that had been planned by President Eisenhower and the CIA director Alan Dullas. He refused to support the 1961 invasion; but, he couldn’t prevent it. So, President Kennedy fired the CIA director Alan Dullas who later served on the committee that investigated his death.

            A year later in 1962, President Kennedy fired the head of the U.S. Military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff General Lemnitzer over Operation Northwoods. Operation Northwoods was another plan to provoke a war with Cuba. It was planning to use dirty tricks and false flag attacks.

            http://enwikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

            Ironically, Kennedy’s favorite author was Ian Fleming who created James Bond. This lead to the James Bond films and romantic visions of spies. It popularized the CIA for a few years.

            The drug problem didn’t really get into high gear until after Kennedy’s death. The Kennedy era was an intellectual extension of the 1950s and, at the same time, a transition into the intellectual movements of the 1960’s.

            Part 3 is coming soon!

          7. They Are Still Finding Out!
            [quote=Inannawhimsey]cnnek,

            after the Japan earthquake, did they ever find out what happened to those poor people?[/quote]

            Inannawhimsey,

            They are still finding bodies and body parts. This is going to take a long time. Some of the bodies are going to wash up on Canadian and U.S. west coast beaches, some might have been eaten by sharks, and some will pop-up and float in the Pacific Ocean. But, the survivors have probably been found.

            Thank-you for asking! But, we may never know for sure. The survivors are being helped by a combination of family, community, friends, and government.

            President Lyndon B. Johnson {LBJ} was very simple to understand. If it was good for LBJ, then LBJ supported it. If it wasn’t good for LBJ, then LBJ didn’t support it. Civil rights is a good example of this. Before 1964 LBJ didn’t support civil rights even though, as President Kennedy’s {JFK} Vice President, he gave lip service to civil rights. As a Texas Congressman and later Senator, he wouldn’t have been elected if he had supported civil rights. But in 1964, he needed to support civil rights in order to get elected. So, he presented JFK’s civil rights bill to congress and implied that it was his. LBJ was also a very corrupt man that knew how to look good while he was doing deals under the table.

            http://paperlessarchives.com/lbjfbi.html

            To give another example of LBJ’s character, during the Six Day War he condoned and probably agreed to allow an act of war against the U.S. by the Israelis. The U.S. Navy’s electronic research ship the USS Liberty was sailing in international waters off the coast of Israel flying an over sized U.S. flag. A Russian spy ship photo, surviving crew testimony, and other photos affirm this fact. It was obvious that the ship was an unarmed U.S. Navy research ship. The Israelis attached it and tried to sink it. ARussian spy ship made the Israeli’s back off; because, it was photographing the attack.

            Much of the drug use in the 1960’s came after 1963.
