As a kid, I remember in 1962 my whole neighborhood standing in front of my house in the country staring up at the sky. I said: “What are we doing”? Someone looking up said: “We’re looking for UFOs.
“WHAT’S A UFO”? I asked. My brother said: “It’s a flying saucer. STUPID”. I had seen the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still” with GORT and Klaatu so I knew what a flying lenticular shaped object was at the age of 5 or 6
I went through my younger years looking up hoping to see something but even as a teen, I could tell the port and starboard lights of a conventional aircraft. I stared through my Tasco telescope in the late 60s but never saw a sign of E.T. until about 30 years later.
I wasn’t looking for a UFO which was the coolest part of it. And what absolutely confirmed my suspicions was not how it looked or sounded or the kind of lights; But the trajectory of the object. I can remember it as if it just happened. My family was camping just west of “Emerald Bay” in Southwest Lake Tahoe. I was sitting (slouched) in a lawn chair around a camp fire. The fire had died down and only hot coals were burning.
As I was “zoning out” just staring at the sky in a state of wonderful relaxation: I saw what appeared to be a shooting star only slower. Then, to my shock (And I was in my 30s at the time and not under the influence of any substance) this meteor made a 140 degree reversal. This is a maneuver that meteors, asteroids or conventional aircraft are physically incapable of performing.
Then just as quickly as it did the 140 degree reversal, it did a 95 to 100 degree port (Left) maneuver and was gone in less than a second. No conventional aircraft could have done these inertia defying maneuvers. And no it wasn’t a spark from the campfire. As I said, it looked in the beginning to be a shooting star. (Meteor) It couldn’t have been traffic lights as it was slightly off center to the zenith (directly above) of where I was looking and we were at the top of the mountain.
Years later I would find out that the Tahoe Forest is part of the UFO triangle which goes from Area 51 Nevada, to Edwards AFB in Southern California, then north to Mt. Shasta in northern California.
I’ve written an article called “My Christianity” so know that this article is more of a “Theosophical” article than a biblical or religious argument. Does it conflict with my Christian beliefs which most say equate to “one life one death”. No. And I’ll answer that down below the video
One needs to understand the existence of the physical life form and the non-physical life. The physical life you can confirm by touching a hot stove. The non-physical takes faith. Often the evidence of the non-physical life is found in your belief structure. You get to a point where you stop believing in the concept of the “coincidence”. Sometimes, however; we misread or misinterpret that which we have been taught.
When you start to look at your physical/incarnate life from a quantum physics POV, the existence of the soul or “Non-physical life” becomes clearer. We (Everything we see, taste and touch) are vibrating atoms. Things that vibrate create a frequency. Sound is the acoustical result of vibration. The strongest steel bar is made up of dense vibrating atoms. So the whole world is vibrating. (Faster than the eye can see)
Can I give you an example?
What you watch on television are 60 still frames being presented per second. You can take the frames to a stopping point and if you have a very good toggle control you can scroll through the frames just like those old moving pictures that came in a box of Cracker Jack. But since it happens so fast we don’t notice it.
The same principle applies to everything that surrounds us. This principle of quantum physics can explain “Ghost Hauntings”. When the mind or non-physical being can manipulate the vibrational structure of atoms, strange things can happen. It can happen with the living as well. There are those (Living) who have mental abilities to move objects. I ask: “Why can’t souls without bodies do the same thing if it is an action based on
invisible frequency”?
So if the Soul is the “eternal” part of our body; does it get recycled? Watch this great two part video of the most documented case on reincarnation.
SEEING OR NOT SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING OR DISBELIEVING
Just as water is the very essence of life, Man starts his life in “amniotic fluid”. If you lower the temperature of water if becomes a solid form such as Ice. If you heat it, it boils. Just as man leaves the womb, it becomes a solid form. Much like the cube of Ice. Over time, Ice melts and evaporates. Boiling water does the same thing, it evaporates. But what was once a solid piece of Ice is now a vapor. The vapor still exists in the form of “Humidity” or a “Cloud”. I proclaim that the body and soul work in much the same fashion. One decomposes (Your body) while the “Life Force” is released and goes “SOMEWHERE”
I won’t pretend to understand the “Ether” or “Ethereal Realm”. I believe that’s what God meant when He said: “Don’t dabble in the occult or traffic with mediums; you’ll pollute your souls. I am God, your God”. (Leviticus 19:31) Again, we have an issue of translation. First, let me say: “NEVER TOUCH A DAMN OUIJA BOARD”. Let me repeat: “NEVER TOUCH A DAMN OUIJA BOARD”. That is dabbling in divination and opening Pandora’s box. Even Mediums will tell you, more bad than good comes from those weapons of “dark vibrational spirits”. If you believe in Psychic Mediums, understand that spirits can lie just like Obama. So you can’t trust what you hear from a Medium and like God said: “You’ll pollute your souls“. It’s also interesting
that God chose the term: “Do not traffic in mediums”. I translate it as: “Don’t let Mediums be your direction”. Again, spirits can lie though a Medium like a human saying: “If you like your doctor you can keep him. Period”.
Regarding reincarnation and why it does not conflict with my belief system. The concept “One life and one death”, I believe refers to the incarnate body and spirit you have now. In other words; If you die at 21 as Joe Smith, you will not be born again and be the same Joe Smith at 21 with the same parents and siblings. For the sake of learning; You die as Joe Smith the Wall street guy and might come back as a South Australian Aboriginal. When that body dies, it goes back into the earth. Your soul is like a mother board. In a strange spiritual way, the energy can be put into a different system. Why we lose our memories of our past lives, I do not know. (Which seems to happen at 4-5 years of age) I believe Life is a learning experience. I believe that we are taught to avoid Mediums as we are not to take “Short cuts” or risk being misled. We need the true learning experience. That might be the justification for having to go through another physical life (I know it sounds like Buddhism/Hinduism). But our creator never said that we shouldn’t ask Why or How life/Soul issues work. Our admonishments are meant to help us learn and become better spirits.
In the end, you are responsible for your own personal Spiritual belief system. I’m not claiming everybody gets reincarnated. I don’t even know why someone would be reincarnated. But I won’t rule out that there have been those who have had their spirits return. Jesus told his disciples that the old testament prophet “Elijah” had returned as “John the Baptist” thus fulfilling prophecy.
“I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He who has ears, let him hear”.Matthew 11:11-15
“God thunders with His voice wondrously, Doing great things which we cannot comprehend”. ~ Job 37:5
At the current time, I cannot boast about America being the world power it was under Ronald Reagan or even John Kennedy. I do however; know that America’s constitution makes it the best potential country to live in. Our government has currently been infiltrated by communists. One of the flaws with a democratic republic is you get what the people elect and people are easily “lied to”. Even if the candidate appears messianic in speech and appearance, we know this to be true; power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
That is the current situation in the United States of America. “We the People” are fighting to keep our “Liberty”. To Mein Vaterland, Deutschland, if Obama is spying on you; you can imagine what he is doing to us. He is trying his hardest to take our “right to own guns” away. That is a must for any dictator. He knows if he tries to convert America to a communist country, we will defend the Constitution of the United States. Thomas Jefferson once said: “The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots from time to time”.
But I still love the Constitution and the United States.
Our history is not without flaws. Just ask the Native/indigenous Americans we took this land from. This country, I’m sad to say, was not “founded” by English settlers. It was conquered by English settlers. But I must say that if a hostile takeover was inevitable, it was better that it was conquered by Western Europe than China or Russia.
We have the Slave situation in our past where human life was bought and sold like livestock. This was an accepted yet despicable practice that went on for 200 years. One can only wonder what America would look like had we never imported Africans and used them as slaves.
I served my country and almost died for my country. I am a U.S. Military Veteran. I did what was asked of me. So as an ex-soldier, I understand the consequences of following and not following orders. So I don’t blame the participants of the previous wars but I do rebuke the leaders of all who were involved.
Again another one of our country’s flawed past. America under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt rounded up 112,000 Americans of Asian ethnicity in 1942 and put them in “internment” camps. This was a gross violation of our constitution. The same president had this to say about the war in Germany:
“We have got to be tough with Germany and I mean the German people, not just the Nazis. You either have to castrate the German people or you have got to treat them in such a manner so they can’t just go on reproducing people who want to continue the way they have in the past.” ~ Roosevelt (D)
FDR’s Justification for the genocidal bombing of Germany.
Operation Thunderclap was designed to kill civilians (NOT SOLDIERS) fleeing from the Red Army for their own safety because both FDR and Churchill were afraid of the so called German Race. The targeted cities of operation Clarion were nothing more than state sponsored murders. No better than Hitler’s war on the Jew. (Nuremburg was targeted because it was an “Ideological city”) Britain killed 3 times as many German civilians as U.S. Bombers. Britain hit Germany with 20 times the payload Germany hit Britain with.“You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.” ~Winston Churchill
Even with our stained past, I still love this country. It will hopefully, once again, be the shining city on the hill that the great President Ronald Reagan spoke of.

Ernst Andres was a highly decorated Hauptmann in the Luftwaffe during World War II, and a recipient of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.
During the night of 4 May 1943 to 5 May Angriffsführer England ordered a consolidated attack on Norwich. Involved were 43 aircraft from Kampfgeschwader 2 (KG 2) under the command of KG 2’s Geschwaderkommodore Walter Bradel, which took off from the airport of Soesterberg. The attack force was augmented by aircraft from II./Kampfgeschwader 40 and 36 Ju 88 from Kampfgeschwader 6. Bradel, who flying as an observer on a Do 217K piloted by Andres, was attacked by a British nightfighter, and suffered engine damage. Andres attempted an emergency landing near Landsmeer, Amsterdam. The aircraft was 80% damaged and Bradel and the aerial gunner Flieger Werner Becker were killed.
Hauptmann Andres achieved the status of “Ace” having 28 aerial victories before his death on 11 February 1945.
It was Ben Franklin’s famous/infamous line: “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”, that has many Americans concerned about their Liberty. Let me paraphrase Ben: “Freedom is not Free”. And let me make a distinct definition between Liberty and Freedom. Freedom is a state of mind. Liberty is a state of being. The philosopher and sociologist Viktor Frankle wrote his book: “Man’s search for meaning” while a prisoner of an S.S. concentration camp during WWII. He studied why some people died while others under the same circumstances survived. One principle Dr. Frankle surmised was that the S.S. could take away his liberty. (His ability to walk out of the prison) but they could not take his Freedom. (The ability to control his mind). What kept the survivors alive was the “Image” of them walking out of the prison. Another common thought was that of being re-united with loved ones. Those who felt all was lost manifested it. They perished.
Perhaps this is a form of the Law of Attraction. I believe it was Einstein that said: “If a man believes it can or cannot be done, he’s correct on both accounts”.
Please allow me to go off on a quick tangent.
After writing my article about the pornography industry yesterday; I had to get away. I took Karaya out for an hour drive. The cops love it when I take my Guard Red Porsche out. I start singing Sammy Hagar’s old song (with a twist): “I can’t drive 85”. But I digress. I did some serious mountain driving then I took it out on the highway where there are NO inhabitants. Karaya goes 180 MPH so it tempts me when I’m on the road with nobody in front or behind me. (Stick with me, I’m going somewhere with this story)
But I got off of the Highway and went back up into the mountains. On the other side of one mountain tucked away back in the middle of absolutely NOWHERE. I found a “Native American Colony” (That’s what the sign said. I think it was a “reservation”). The Native American or “Indian” as Columbus called them, use to be the Iconic face of courage and self-reliance in this country. They were taught survival and self-reliance at a very young age. They had to learn to care for themselves or perish. They kept many a European immigrant from dying of starvation. But as more and more Europeans came to this continent, the “Indigenous” people of North America became an obstacle.
As we sat up European style villages and towns, we took the “LIBERTY” of the Native Americans away. Where the warrior once hunted deer, we put up a mall. We tried forcing Christianity upon the indigenous people. We finally said: (I’m paraphrasing again) “Look, you’re in our way. We need you behind this mountain so nobody can see you”. There were reports of the attempted Genocide of these unique people. (Himmler was not original by any means). But that was many generations ago.
I’ve been to many “reservations” in my adult life. I use to be a part of a program that flew to many reservations such as Keams Canyon Arizona and Owyhee Utah. I did physical exams and hearing tests on many of the young kids and we would fly those who needed treatment to the naval hospital in Oakland California and do surgery on them. When we flew out to the reservations, the medical team would only get to see a public building. I never got to see their residential area. On my drive last night, I finally got to see what an Indian reservation looks like. It was an odd version of section 8 housing unlike the high rise “Projects” like they have in New York and Baltimore; they were single 900 square foot one family homes. Perhaps I’ve watched to many westerns as a kid, but when I looked around, I felt instant depression. I was crying inside
.
When I got home, I realized that what I had just seen was a microcosm of what America has to look forward to. What saturated my mind the rest of the evening was a glimpse of the future for America. This once great world power that is so generous to other countries in times of need, will eventually look like one big reservation sectioned off far away from the upper class in their gated communities. This should scare every person who values their Liberty. Obama has increased the margin of takers to makers. In many cases, not all, immigrants come here because of the socialist programs Obama is using to destroy America from within.
We’ve seen it in Europe. Muslims have moved from the desert heat and violence of the middle-east to the free social programs of Western Europe. Keep in mind, these freebie programs were started in the mid-1800s to keep Europeans from leaving Europe to come to America. It has backfired and attracted underachievers, which is causing the EU to crash. In North America, we have 10,000 immigrants (Illegal) coming across the Mexican border daily.
This has nothing to do with income inequality. This has everything to do with self-reliance. Have a nice Weekend.
Pron is the juvenile code word for PORN. I wanted to spew my opinion on pornography. First of all, what is porn? Is nudity porn? Not always. It’s like that saying “I can’t describe it; but I’ll know it when I see it”. Porn is so ubiquitous today, it surrounds us. From the Superbowl to prime time TV, you can’t tune in to anything without having some woman’s cleavage shoved in your face.
My mission statement, especially within this blog, is to try and offer ideas that will make this world a better place. Simply put, porn is not good for society. Porn has no redeeming value. And the collateral damage from porn is often irreparable. Let me pontificate:
1. Porn desensitizes us to reality. By doing so it makes us insensitive and often disrespectful to the opposite sex.
2. Porn demeans the photographed. Some may think that Marilyn Monroe was art. Images of her in “Some like it hot” can be considered art. Perhaps this was the beginning of our society’s death spiral. But what you don’t see, is an industry that exploits immature girls for a few bucks while the producer profits millions. What’s even worse is that our culture is continually condoning the introduction of porn into our society. “Girls gone wild” should be retitled “Girls gone stupid while embarrassing their parents and ruining their future”.
3. Porn is an addiction for some that is driven by huge profits. It’s worse than smoking. Smoking will eventually kill your body. Porn will kill your soul. Now before you think I’m turning evangelical on you, let me explain. We are a culture of teenagers raised on “Sex and the City”, and “Desperate housewives”. Most teens have computers. Most of these computers are not filtered by parental guidance, meaning ANYTHING is available. So the only thing a person gains from viewing porn is more desensitization and a misguided belief system that most women are like porn actresses. This desensitization ruins the social interaction between males and females when they find themselves in “real” situations. They’ve been educated like Pavlov’s Dog into seeing sex for the physical stimulation only. And like other endorphin releasing stimulants, it’s hard to break away from once you’ve started. Especially for the teenage boy that’s just discovered this private “E” ride. (Disneyland reference)
I was however; shocked to be viewing an episode of CSI, when the conversation of sex without love came up. Grissom says “Sex without love is sad, it makes you feel the opposite. It makes you feel lonely”.
The “Sexual revolution” of the 60’s turned Sex into a handshake. It’s a shame because Boys see having sex as a form of “manhood”, while Girls see sex as “Love”.
Since Al Gore invented the internet (tongue in cheek) Rape has almost doubled in many communities. As a matter of fact, between 1998 and 2001 Rape tripled in the state of Oregon. Is it possible that after a night of drinking and snorting Meth, internet porn just doesn’t do it anymore?
We live in a quick fix society. A time of drive thru restaurants, drive by gang violence, Express commuter lanes, High speed internet service, abortion rates that make the holocaust look like a freeway pile up. We want it, and we want it now.
But the best things in life you still have to wait for. It’s going to take 9 months to see the healthy smile on your child’s face. It takes 162 games, plus 2 rounds of playoffs before you get to watch the world series. And a relationship that grows out of mutual respect and adoration will last much longer than two people that just decided to “hook up”.
Don’t believe me? Get slam drunk every night for a month. Then lay off alcohol for a month. Then see how good just one glass of Cabernet Sauvignon tastes.
Who was the first person to bring up Chris Christie for President? Anyone know? It was probably NBC. Why? Because for the last 8 years the Media starts kissing up to a beatable Republican candidate 2 years before the Presidential election. In 2008 the press loved John McCain, once he was nominated; they pulled out their back stabbing knives shredded him to pave the way for “Hillary”. But somehow, just when it seemed as though the press was going to “Coronate” Mrs. Clinton, they started throwing softball questions to Obama and Hillary continued to get questions about White water. It was so obvious, even SNL did a skit about the press asking Obama if he was comfortable enough.
In Chris Christie’s case, he’ll be portrayed as a “Takes no guff” Hero that the country needs. Then as soon as the Republicans are brainwashed into nominating him, the FAT JOKES will come pouring out like a crack in the Hoover Dam. He’ll go from “Takes no Guff Hero” to “Heartless, FAT, Bully” the day after he is nominated.
The Same press that kissied up to McCain also demanded that McCain show his Birth Certificate as soon as he was nominated. Hmmmm how hypocritical? (McCain was born at the Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone) But the Democrat birthers came out with hate before the word “birther” was coined.
In 2012, first off, I believe Mitt Romney won. But when you consider the Chicago voter Fraud factor, multiple voting of former ACORN employees, and the abundance of republican absentee votes in the East River; Republicans have to learn that they need to shoot for a 58% margin to win. (Factoring in fraud).
Understand that the Media has become the “Oracle” of who we elect. There is no way Obama legitimately won re-election. 2012 was a third world coup d’état. However there were certain demographics that became more defined. If you throw out all of the lies about Benghazi, If you throw out Hurricane Sandy, (Including the Obama/Christie love fest) If you throw out the elongated primary in which the media did a great job of going through the list of 11 candidates in an attempt to confuse voters. One week it was Herman Cain, then it was Michelle Bachman, then it was Newt Hannity.
One truth that was spoken in 2012 amongst Republicans was that they “at least” had a strong field for 2016.
Which brings me to the question: “Why is the media not talking about Hillary vs. Rand Paul ?
Why not the Dems greatest nightmare “Marco Rubio”? He’s handsome and a minority.
.
What about the most active Republican who is also attractive and smart as hell: “Paul Ryan”? (Who said his Ipod play list starts at AC/DC and ends with ZZ Top)
Where is Governor “I’m still standing” Scott Walker”?
To quote Greg Gutfeld of Fox News’ The Five and Red Eye: “We have become such a celebrity worshipping society”. (When referring recently to the Sherman rant). If you want proof, look at how Obama was built on the Cult of Personality theory.
So I’m afraid that America (Including the Heartland) has changed just as the White House Despot predicted. Fortunately we haven’t “transformed” like Russia or China YET. But what America truly needs right now is a RAND PAUL candidate. The youth vote has been trending libertarian and Paul is a strict constitutionalist. He’s not my first pick, which would be Paul Ryan, but since I live in Area 51 and am from a betting state, I would “Bet” that Rand Paul is more electable than Hillary. (And for that matter the other Republicans that could be formidable Vice Presidents.
Governor Scott Walker from Wisconsin has nothing else to prove. He beat the recall election and stood up to corrupt unions.
I think the hardest opponent the Repbulicans will face in 2014 AND 2016 will not be the former first lady, but voter fraud. The Democrats are no longer even shy about it. What’s worse is the Republicans don’t call them on it. (Al Franken)? Having said that, may America NEVER elect another Chicago politician.
One last comment as I’ve carried on too long. Do NOT push any “like” buttons regarding politics on Facebook. We know Facebook is a “Para-political” branch of the DNC. Most of those “Impeach Obama” pages are purely data collecting pages. Don’t be fooled and don’t be used. The other piece of advise I would urge you follow is to “IGNORE THE POLLS” Never forget the games the polls played during the 2012 Republican primaries. Do NOT let externalities influence your vote.
