Your anti-semitism I find troubling and offensive, your attitude

Why are you being such a wuss?

If you would care to name a time and place, I would be happy to
demonstrate how wrong you are in that opinion.

I'm not offering the least bit of anti-
semitism,

Casting all the woes of the world on 'yids' sounds anti-semitic to me
and marks you off as a lunatic.

whereas you're nothing but pro-semitism regardless of how
bad off it gets.

You approach the problems you have in your life as if they result from
somewhere out there. If someone somewhere did something differently
you would be happy. All unhappiness is their fault and it is only
their destruction that will allow you any possibility for happiness.

This is madness.

I approach the problems I have in my life as if they result from
somewhere inside me. If I change the way I do things right now, I can
be happier. All unhappiness I feel is a choice I make and it only
means I must choose again to be truly happy.

This is an effective way to get through life.

I happen to like those good Jews,

You create categories of people to assign blame to so that you can
avoid responsibility for your own unhappiness. Then you reduce
individuals you have never met and don't know to these categories and
then judge them not as individuals you know, but as the categories you
made up in your head for your own emotional reasons - and then make
decisions based on this insane process.

You do it to reduce tension in your own mind - and it results in
endless bile and anger arising from your own frustrations directed at
people you have absolutely no real knowledge of.

In many ways, this is precisely what all of us do in one way or
another - and results in much of the turmoil in the world.

Like I said, we should act from our love of those we do know, rather
than from the fear of those we do not.

but then you seem to like each and
every one of those really BAD Jews.

I doubt my ability to make such judgements of anyone and yours too. I
also am suspicious of folks that attempt to bully me into making such
impossible judgements.

You must also like the kind of
folks that tell lies and have no remorse.

Oh, like you never told a lie and had no remorse about it? What the
hell does that mean? I've caught you in lots of lies you have no
remorse about - especially the ones you tell yourself. lol.

Do you have some other faith-based group or Skull and Bones like cult
that's responsible for having produced those kinds of such horrific
global collateral damage and carnage of the innocent?

No one is responsible for your life and your happiness and the results
you get in your life - except you. To think otherwise is to put
yourself in a mental prison for no real reason.


Is it all because of those pesky pretend atheists?

You unhappiness and frustration and success and life are your
responsibility. As soon as you stand up and accept that
responsibility you will find the need to blame others for your
frustrations and failure will disappear as you focus your attention
and efforts on things that will really serve you.

A few too many Catholics are actually nearly as bad in their ways of
past and somewhat recent fiascos, although for group size nothing much
beats what a nasty Yid can accomplish, and then some. Do you have
examples otherwise?

Yes, these folks you speak of, have you ever met them? Do you know
them well? Or are they just labels that you have in your head? What
is the process whereby any specific individual you can point to that
meets your labelling criterion - directly impacts you in any way? I
want to see a real direct connectoin to you personally. Fact is,
there is none. Fact is, you are 99% reponsible for what happens to
you minute to minute hour to hour day to day. And sitting on the
internet ranting about these phantasms and fantasitical connections is
merely a way to avoid really living your life (same can be said
responding to your bull***! lol)

Should we let all the bad folks on Earth run lose,

People are bad only because you judge them so. You are not a judge or
jury, so such judgements are useless to you. Such questions are
pointless. Leave that to those whose job it is to maintain the peace
and prosperity of the world. Rid your mind of all that rot, and spend
your time thinking of things that are directly and positively
beneficial to you right here right now. Let it all go and focus on
those things that make you happy effective and powerful in your own
reality - rather than spouting bull*** just because it makes you feel
good for a nanosecond.

and/or put them
into public office or otherwise in charge of our education and
mainstream media?

I have recounted how experts have demonstrated conclusively that
markets and voting and any system of collective decision making cannot
work as we expect. That means the only way we can avoid the madness
is to withdraw power from these collective ideas and refocus them on
personal ideas and ideals. Forget all the collective power centers
and focus instead on what you can do for those you love and for
yourself directly. Right here right now. If all of us did this,
there would be no misuse of power - and the common mode failures that
grow increasingly worse day to day would disappear.

Have you ever heard of Stanislav Petrov? His story shows the power of
an individual to save the world by doing what he personally thinks is
right - out of love and compassion not just for those he loves, but
for those he has been told to hate.

It was 1983 and the Soviet Union and the United States by that time
had spent over the previous 40 years trillions of dollars creating the
most sophisticated and destructive arsenals in history edging each
year closer and closer to the apocolypse. Ronald Reagan, the arch-
conservative actor was President, and was fond of speaking of the need
to destroy the evil Soviet empire. The Chinese had just shot down an
airliner over Japan. Tensions were high. The Soviets had just
launched a recon satellite in a Molnya orbit high above the United
States looking for the flare of a rocket launch..

Through an error in software, the new satellite reported patterns of
lightning strikes over Canada - as missile launches and computed
trajectories for the supposed missiles.

The Soviet Union was on a heightened level of alert. Stanislav had
his orders. If th esystem said an attack was taking place, respond
with a massive counter-strike.

But Stanislav - for no reason other than his gut - refused to command
the counter-attack. He reasoned that the US would not attack with
single missiles fired in desolate places in the Soviet Union, and
despite his direct orders, despite pleading of those within his
command, he refused to authorize a counter-strike or allow anyone
outside his command to be alerted until he personally was satisfied
that he understood what was going on.

His superiors thought him a wuss, and for violating a direct order to
launch a massive counter-strike, he was sentenced to prison.

But because Colnel Stanislave Petrov had the courage to follow his gut
and show mercy and regard for those he was taught to hate, we're all
here today to talk about it.

This is the power of one man motivated by love, rather than fear.

You sir, are motivated by fear and that results in madness.

Your "better place because the United States exists in it" is about to
create WWIII,

Not if people like Stanislav Petrov exist within the war machinery.

and that's in addition to our having mutually
perpetrated those decades of a spendy and lethal cold-war, as well as
having created 9/11

The US was attacked at the WTC before 9/11 - do you remember? The
explosions were premature and the people arrested because effective
action was taken. Airliners were attempted hijacked over the Pacific
by Osama bin laden operatives.in 1995 Effective action then foiled
that attempt and many of the folks were arrested. Those that escaped
were tracked down and followed. Some of those perpetrated 9/11. The
same sort of mismanagement and lack of ability that allowed Katrina to
devastate New Orleans (the national weather service reports were
ignored by the President before the storm and so federal action was
delayed - due to the president being on a golf outing in Texas at the
time) allowed 9/11 to happen. This mismanagement that led to
ineffective action, failure of our containment policies, and success
for the terrorists - was exploited for political gain by conservatives
who wanted to reduce our freedoms. We detract from the power of this
reality to bring effective change by exaggerating the role of
goverment to say wrongly that government agents acted as terrorists.
No, conservative think tanks in 2000 hoped for a terror success to
galvanize the nation to carry out the sorts of things that think tank
wanted to happen. They even identified who might carry out the next
attack. The agencies resopnsible for our safety were drawn off the
case of thse we knew would carry out an attack, and shortly
thereafter, a successful attack took place. We had our modern Pearl
Harbor. These are the facts. They are horrible enough without people
like you marginalizing them by exaggerating what happened for your own
jollies.

and *** loads of nasty stuff in between and ever
since.

There are those that serve their country honestly and fairly and do
their best. Those should be honored. There are those who seek to
take every advantage when it presents itself. Both are caught in a
system that cannot do what we expect of it. What can we as
individuals reasonably do? The answer is obvious. Withdraw power
from those entities that cannot do what they promise, and like Col.
Petrov, do what WE think is right, with loving intent- irrespective of
the situation. And things will get better. They will get
surprisingly better.

From the very get-go the USA has been a royal pain in mother natures

***,

The sensitivity of people toward environmental degradation became a
cause celebe following the publication throughout the world of the
Apollo 8 images of Earth taken from the moon. Like images of nuclear
bomb mushroom clouds, these images are generally not seen anymore.
Nevertheless they released a gestalt of ideas and changed a
generation. Since that time, this impulse toward the environment,
like all decent impulses in the modern age, has been exploited by
special interests to gain political and economic clout.

Now the US is not special as an industrial power except for its
industrial intensity per person compared to the rest of the world.
The US is 4.8% of the world's population and earns 18% of the money in
the world, consumes 21% of the energy in the world, and 32% of the
world's food. No wonder obesity and pollution are huge problems for
the average American.

Knowing of our inability to sustain a surprise attack in the nuclear
age, the US leadership put America on a continual war footing. The US
has also had a secret policy since the 1940s, declassified in the
1990s, but largley ignored by the press, of maintaining large
disparities of income observing that throughout history poor nations
never defeated a rich nation. The US leadership has also realized
that large disparities over a long period lead inevitably to envy and
that envy leads to an enmity which will become increasingly great over
time. But this was of no matter. Nuclear security was to be brought
about by control of means, not control of desire against those who
might attack us.

President Kennedy had a different vision. He felt that we the nuclear
powers should compete in a space race to develop interplanetary space
for the betterment of all mankind, and engage our intelligence and
civilian capabilities internationally to address the most grievous
disparities, and that the US should use its current disparity to
uplift the rest of the world so they might share in our creativity and
wealth.

JFK was assasinated and those policies were reversed within 30 days by
LBJ.

None of this has anything to do with the environment. The trouble we
have with the environment stems partly from our stubborness in
adopting alternatives to fossil fuels. This was clear when Hubbert
predicted that the US woud enter secondary oil production by 1970. In
1964 LBJ tasked BNL to come up with a solution. They came up with a
thermochemical nucleear fission reactor that would produce hydrogen
gas very cheaply. That hydrogen gas would then be used to hydrogenate
coal to create fossil fuels. The hydrogen could also be used directly
to fuel power plants at some point when the technology was ready for
that. Vietham distracted LBJ from implementing this plan and from
properly administering the Great society programs leading to a failure
and rioting. When Nixon beat LBJ in 1968, Nixon abandoned these
visionary efforts. Hubberts predicted deline in US oil output
occurred right on schedule. The US economy tanked. Nixon went off the
gold standard. OPEC repriced oil with the new valuation. We had the
energy crisis.

When Carter beat Ford following Ford's pardon of Nixon - Carter - a
nuclear engineer - vowed to highlight the BNL program and get America
moving again. BNL's own paperwork treated oil as a phase or age in
the development of energy. Coal supplanted wood, when the technology
was right. Oil suplanted coal when the technology was right. Nuclear
will supplant oil, when the technology was right. We didn'twait until
all the trees were gone before we switched to coal. We didn't wait
until all th ecoal was gone before we switched to oil. We need not
wait until all th eoil is gone until we switch to nuclear. And the
BNL program outlined what was needed for lowcost breeder reactors to
provide direct thermochemical decomposition of water into hyrogen and
oxygen - and use of that ultra-low-cost hydrogen in our present energy
economy - both inmaking syntheetic hydrocarbons and in direct use.
Carter vowed to bring this to reality and quickly.

Enter 3-mile island and the demonization of nuclear power. Carter got
his energy program, and more money was spent on energy research than
we spent on going to th emoon. But NONE of it was used to implement
the program that BNL had outlined as a practicaland easy and short
term solution to our energy problem. The oil companies have won.

Today when the world is a scant 10 years from entering secondary
production and declining outputs, the DOE has dusted off the BNL study
and re-released it as the Gen IV reactor - that by 2030 will allow the
world to convert to hydrogen cheaply and efficiently - just about the
time the value of the oil reserves begin to declin - due to the
combined effects of lower inventory and lower economic activity.

Harry Truman said once that what is good for GM is good for America.
That must be the policy toward the oil companies in America today.
But we as a nation are paying a terrible price for our support of oil
companies - and we have been managed by special interests ever since
Teapot Dome - the miscreants have just gotten better at it.

as well as in the butts of others we could care less about. It
sounds as though you very much like war, perhaps because there's loot
to be made or just taken from others.
- Brad Guth -

Everything begins with you - you can change your life by taking
personal responsibility to do everything you can to act out of a sense
of love and regard for those you love- day to day - withdrawing
support from those entities that cannot even under the best of
circumstances, fulfill the promises they make. Like Stanislav Petrov,
each of us working in their own way, doing what they can, will
safeguard us all, and bring about a far better world than the one we
have at present.

It is not the fault of any one of us for our failings. It is the
fault of all of us, not doing what we each can do to make life
better. Mother Teresa when asked how to end poverty in the world
replied, go out and find the most miserable person in your life, and
let them know that they are truly and really loved - whatever that
takes. If all of us did that - we could end poverty today. The power
is in you Brad and in me and in all of us. Nowhere else. Its time
you did all you could to release it.
