Soccer is obviously Nigeria's most sacred metaphor.
Members of the group, MASSOB, were arrested somewhat
recently, playing a soccer match "for the liberation of
Biafra." Without much due process or any applicably
modern standards of justice they were and remain
incarcerated. For playing a soccer match. Treasonable.
Biafra failed the first time because of the Midwest.
Our uncle Ejoor and his famous bicycle might in fact
have been what did Biafra in, more than Adekunle and
Obasanjo. In this episode, however, the midwest
is confederate with the east primarily because the
Yorubas do not share common cause with the Mid westerners
whose cousins in the Delta are resource rich. The Yoruba
have nothing to fight for, since they did not fight for
their Aare, and so seem... unfocused and without leadership.
As such, they now will grow at their own pace, since the
old Midwest is allied with the East in this episode.
Sharia in the North indicates a level of autonomy for
the Northern Nigerians. The Igbo Biafrans have every
right to ask for increasing levels of self-determination
if the Federal Government continues to be unable to
do for the Easterners what they claim they can do for
themselves: Provide electricity, water, sanitation and
basic security. If, in fact, it is true--that the Federal
Government cannot provide ANY constituency in the country
these basics, and that these constituencies can do so
for themselves, then we ought to begin discussing, quite
seriously, the concept of power devolution and how it
can be attained without changing, in a major way, the
constituent structure of the nation. My opinion, based
on the finest and most precise analysis I've done, suggests
that the Federal Government of Nigeria, AS CURRENTLY
CONSTITUTED, will NEVER be able to provide these basics
to all its people and probably never "most." Thus,
the agitation will continue into time indefinite unless
the leaders of our nation decide to grant states more
autonomy, and do this without threatening the unity of
the nation by threatening to reduce access to resources
or funds derived from thereof. It would be wiser for
MASSOB to engage the international human rights community
than to believe that force can work. But, more importantly,
the conversation is now between Biafra and Nigeria, and that
conversation ought to end not in disunity, but with more
control available to Biafrans, and thus all Nigerias, as
regards what the Federal Government CONTINUES to be unable
to do. It's job.

The Problem with Keynesian Economics
It is... unrealistic to expect private industry to
completely account for economic growth without at least
some supporting policies from the public sector. These
are most efficiently done through a central bank and
finance policy, but a major component of non-supply-side
economics is the creation of artificial demand through
government intervention or spending. Public works.
That sort of thing. The argument against generating
artificial demand is that the natural market cannot
compensate naturally for the sudden spikes, and recursively
the inability to take advantage of a spike in demand,
because it was not predicted by regular models and their
implicational policies will lead, eventually.. .and logically..
to a deficit (which ostensibly the government will guarantee).
In the end, the government owes more than it spends, because
the market is tuned to natural motion. I advocate very limited
intrusions, and as Huffington said, what we are practicing
today is in every sense socialist democracy. We had no choice,
so the option is clear: As she said, if the entity is too big
to fail, then it is too big to exist. I think the US is going
to be in for a long period of economic uncertainty, because
of the lack of a principled application of the laws of economics
by this administration, following the unprecedented intervention
43 was forced to make after Lehman. MTC

The Coming "Limited" Attack on Iranian Facilities
It has been the game played to use politics
to its finest extent, pressuring Israel to
forget that it continues to have a right to
its sovereign self defense. The policy,
evidently, of the State of Iran is to genocide
Israel out of existence. As much has been
said by the nation's president. However irresponsible
I could have believed such a stance was before
9-11, after seeing that Islamist soldiers are willing
in fact to destroy Israel, then the evidence begins
to pile up against Iran. It is not a question of
whether we TRULY believe that Iran will use nuclear
weapons against Israel. The question, instead, is
of whether the Iranian leadership will, NOW, as they
wish to join the nuclear club, begin speaking in a more
reasonable fashion. There are no indications, judging
from the childish foolish statements of Dr. 'Jad, that
this is the case or shall be anytime soon. In fact,
to the contrary, Iran is building ten more enrichment
facilities in defiance of an increasingly impotent
international community. THEREFORE, no matter what
the politics says--a la Gaza Goldstone--I think we
ought to be clear that "...to prevent the possibility
of Genocide and a repeat of the era of Holcaust..."
the State of Israel shall attack, in a limited fashion,
facilities and locations deemed central to Iran's ABILITY
to wage inordinate war and genocide on its people. My
immediate analysis is that these attacks will last over
five days and though it will not entirely cripple
Iran's nuclear ambitions, it shall set them back ten years.
The hue and cry over the civilian deaths is to be minimized
by accurate intelligence and precision. I don't expect
civilian deaths to be plentiful. I do expect, however,
the destruction of Iran's ability to wage a war of genocide
against Israel without provocation to be near-complete:
for the aftermath shall yield a new reality. Middle
East peace then would have seemed a far-off dream, but
thankfully, today, the Vatican has an argument because
of which we now believe that there is a logical solution
to the matter of Israel and Balfour.

Gameplan Iraq
The final phase of our engagement has begun, and so
we are TRULY winding down our combat operations and
pseudo-occupation. The cost has been great, but
BECAUSE it was the people of Iraq themselves who
brought Saddam to justice, then it is true that it
was a war of liberation. I certainly did not expect
him to get hung, and said as much--perhaps too loudly--
during the negotiations to "capture" him. Maybe he
believed he'd be in the Hague next to Milosevich. That's
what I believed. But then the people of Iraq tried him
and hung him, in a trial Ramsey Clarke says was unfair.
But then Clarke was applying American Sovereign STANDARDS
of justice. This was an internal matter, and it is clear
that IF the people of Iraq were WHO brought Saddam to justice,
and IF the people of Iraq were WHO fought off al kaeda, then
it WAS a war of liberation. Of course, with the numbers of
innocent killed, we truly should never have expected people
to come running out of their houses with roses. Not after
shock and awe. But they did show that we were welcome, eventually,
not to stay, but to provide the support and backing because of
which the name "Anbar" shall forever be synonymous with the ABILITY
to defeat islamic terrorism. That's a major psychological boost
and a great victory for America's aspirations in the region. It is
a long term parternship, and we expect that as al kaeda remains resilient,
so also shall the Iraqi's remain... free. Going forward, sustaining
peace and stability in Iraq will have to do with what we are discussing
below. Oil revenues and corruption:

The Counter Argument
...is that, in fact, allowing the government to
incipiently set prices will ALLOW business in
that field to compete, as the government implicitly
"regulates" the industry response to the market.
Senator, this is a very dangerous precedent you are
about to set in the United States, a country I have
evangelized as being the beacon of freedom. You should
know that freedom includes freedom from government
intrusion. If more people like the public option,
either it signals a sea-change in American attitudes
towards the more Swedish-like "Social Democracy," or
your colleagues have not found the time to engage the
people and, LOGICALLY, enumerate the dangers inherent
in government intrusion into the free market--even
in the sacred health industry. Since "lipstick on a pig"
I've been convinced that President Obama, our leader,
has few qualms about manipulating the people who adore him.
I explained to a lady yesterday that if she, like me, had
stumbled upon Sarah Palin during her speech at the RNC
Convention, one would have been hard-pressed to feign
unexcitement. She is a very exciting politician. But
then, the judgment Obama displayed in his choice of words
demonstrated to me that he is willing to lead people astray,
"for the greater good." He is a sanctimonious leader who
feels that we are looking out for the interests of our children
when we interrupt the free market in order to "sanitize" it.
Senator, if the Public Option passes in the bill, then I am sorry
to say that you have failed. You have failed your favorite staffer,
your colleagues, your peers... and, Senator, your country. I
remain quiet for now but have more to say on this topic.

The Public Option
Senator:
Your integrity is admired, as well as the sense of
urgency displayed, at least as regards this very
important portion of the bill. WHEN, assuming
your colleagues on the left have their way,
the government BEGINS running the government-sponsored
option, it will have little choice but to, once again,
disrupt the free market by setting its own prices, ostensibly
relative to prevailing market prices. After which it shall
ignore the market. Sir, some of my friends, Freemasons
and High Thinkers, are certain that over twenty years
they will have enough concerned citizens as witnesses.
If, over the next few administrations after the incipience
of a government sponsored option there is a palpable decrease
in the quality of care as well as the options for its provision
(as a function of business unable to compete with government
prices in any truly realistic or meaningful sense), please sir
have it on record that these gentlemen have no qualms about
attributing the failure of commonsense to a black man, and thus
the black man and those who voted him in, to appease some latent
sense of racial justice, over the power of principle which stands
for all people. I, for one, realize that there WILL
always have been a black president at some point. I would have
hoped, however, that he displayed more maturity than our current
leader, whose behavior is increasingly erratic, a penchant for
"game-changing" surprises that surprise no one on my team, but
instead, as we see with the KSM decision, bolsters my credibility
"as concerns" much of what concerned me about Obama DURING the
campaign. We are treading, sir, on very delicate ground,
and that the US Senate is unable to debate this... trivial
matter in a logical manner so that the truth wins out is
a red flag. It seems the MO of this administration is to
create truth, not observe it. I stand in awe at the future,
being perhaps the only "brother" in the "struggle" who
openly decries the behavior and philosophy of the black man
who is currently privileged to represent our shared interests.
On the one hand, I am concerned for his success BECAUSE I am
black. But the balance on the other hand calls for a more
principled stand. Wouldn't it be nice, Senator, if your
staffers were able to come up with a logically hashed out
argument detailing, in obvious sequence, the very few possibilities
that might be the outcome of ignoring market prices, having
INITIALLY used those to set a pricing threshold.

Code Red
Sir:
Earlier this evening, after due consultations, I decided
that I was ready to do whatever is necessary to move on
with my life, after the disruption caused by your friend, Petra.
This is to say, the decision has been made to exercise
the authority granted me by my status and... severe...
my relationships with Petra and those who, like him, fail
to accept the responsibilities that come with disrupting
the life of a person. If it had happened to any other person,
why I can't imagine the severity with which those who love
him would act! For such disruptions are not normal, and while
because of who I am I can recover then thrive, let us not
believe there shall be no consequences for this disruption,
especially since it was done to place me in a position where
judging the Obasanjo regime would put me at great risk. The
disruption was done on behalf of the corrupt, for which we now
risk, sir, a major conflagration. Do you believe? I hope you do.
Clearly, since I have decided to leave Petra where he is, as well
as his family, then there seems no... impetus to not die, within,
as well, to the country that birthed and supports his sort. But
I will not do that, which is to say, die within to Nigeria. It
is what Jesus did to Israel and I am willing to do so, whatever
the cost to me, to teach us Africans the value... of value itself.
But I shall be patient. If Petra and any of his wards feel
that it is unacceptable, unkind or just plain wicked what I am
doing, then they know where they can meet me in argument. The
disruption must be handled in justice, otherwise I prophesy
a sad and withering last days for our fathers who have, so
badly, destroyed the nation. The amount of corruption in the
Obasanjo regime begins to make me wonder if I should not go
on and rethink my earlier judgment, which is that I did not
feel Mr. Obasanjo should face the law. BUT attempting to coerce
my judgment is the last thing a person ought to do, who does not
want to face the highness of a standard he has breached. I will
exercise restraint, for now, but please note that we are all now,
Alhaji, in Code Red. The next few events could do us... the disfavor
of disintegration.... and though you do not believe now, I promise
that you will.... then...

Decision #2
In the name of Shango (for whom I bear witness in character):
Father Munoz:
How is it possible that Oba Eradiauwa came to a conclusion, then
I, his son, after my own INDEPENDENT analysis, came to the
SAME conclusion? We must be right on something! As I said,
when the Oba first released his book and the uproar ensued
I found it... scary, to even imagine our Father, Oduduwa,
to be a thief, and even scarier to imagine the reaction
of our Yoruba kinsfolk. And yet, when I have done
the analysis, in my history, before and since the time
of the release of the book, the primal problems I have had
with Nigerian wards has been with those who are of Yoruba
stock. We speak of Enoma Ogunyemina, and Lanre Obisheole
and Luqman Ajonotti. And so on and so forth. Can it be
that one people would so uniformly, in matters of state
craft, offend a prince? Or is it not that, since they
also offended the King, then the King, Eradiauwa, and
the Prince, Suleiman Abubakar, MUST have some... legitimate
gripe with the people of Yorubaland? I will not change
my mind, sir, on leaving Yorubaland... and to the extent
that any reconciliation can occur over the rest of my
lifetime, I expect to be cautious but open to building
those bridges. Otherwise, I have to say that I NOW
agree, ENTIRELY, with Oba Eradiuawa's... disposition,
as a royal, towards the Nigerians wards of Yoruba
stock. Now, you KNOW that when Oba Eradiauwa first
came out with this statement, I was one of those who
took the side of the Ile Ife. Why would I sit idly
by when our father, Oduduwa, was insulted. And yet
miracle upon miracle, for the Oba at least, after
a requisite amount of time in judgment I cannot
say that I believe that the Yoruba, as currently
constituted, are succeeding. Indeed, after Obasanjo/Awolowo,
Shonekan, Obasanjo/Abiola and Bola Ige, it becomes clear that in
our rotational world, the Yoruba have FAILED
aggregationally to prove to Nigeria that they
with the culture to admire have the statecraft
to match. Where lies the salvation in Yoruba leadership?
Sola Adeyeye? Frederic Fasheun? Wole Soyinka?
So, yes, I must now say to the Oba
of Benin, he has an ally in Suleiman "as concerns"
the continued lack of moral apriority the exponents
of Yoruba culture continue to express. But is Osanobua
any better?
I have said what I have said above to ensure that
the Oba is aware that I take his side AGAINST
the Yoruba in this conversation, but then I don't
have to be buried in Ile Ife. I dare say, coming
from the Akarue-Okoro alliance, the family I represent
has been perhaps one of the ONLY true hopes for
federal unity, at least in our case, unity between
the Yoruba and Igbo. That now will NEVER occur, sir.
And it is a failure of the Yoruba that has caused it.
But for those who were willing minions of these
Yoruba wards, your fate is no better. Decision #2
has been made, that is aside from leaving Yorubaland
for good. And that decision is final, though of course
I look forward to building any bridges that may
remain. For now the decimation of the relationship
between this prince and the Yoruba is TOTAL and
shall remain so for the foreseeable future.
I will not make Decision #2 public, but I wanted
the Oba to know that despite the fact that I understand
WHY he would make the statements he made--in effect
I now stand in traditional law as a legal representative
of the office of the man--those of his own children who
have embodied the ways that I castigate shall, individually
face a judgment that is not to be wished upon others. Including
the one, sir, called Peter. And that's final.

"...and so, to the people of the Urhobo Society and Witnesses..."
I hereby call up Olanrewaju Obisesan as a witness in favor of
Oba Eradiauwa
"...that our fathers, in the future, will not teach their OWN children to be thieves..."
Chief Samson Akarue

Suleiman Aburo Oba Akarue

Justice
A big announcement was made the other day
suggesting that I, Suleiman Abubakar, was
something of a Prince of the Ogboni. I do
not know anything about the Ogboni and do
not belong to any secret societies. I, however,
represent the Akarue Clan as an ambassador
to the peoples and estate of Zariah, the Bright
and Morning Star. Because I have left the
Yoruba, and because the agents were both
Yoruba and Urhobo because of which I left,
then justice would not be served if the Urhobo,
too, do not bear the weight of the consequences
of their actions. Though I will not here make
public the decisions made, those who believe
there would be imbalance if ONLY left the
Yoruba have nothing to fear. Upon the power
of the name given me.

Ile Iba Abe Ina-Inu: House of the fire within
Sir:
I was flummoxed and confused upon reading the title
of your book, and then hearing about some of its
main premises. The fundamental controversy suggests
that Oduduwa was in fact from Benin, thus making
the Bini older than the Yoruba. I protested, along
with every other person who has lived in Yoruba land,
for it was an awkward interpretation of history.
Subsequent, however, to the behavior of certain
people, whom you are in quiet aware of, I can now
say that the sense of brotherhood with the Yoruba
I once had... has been weakened... perhaps irredeemably.
I could never be bold enough to say Oduduwa was a thief,
but the behavior of his descendants has offended me.
So I will say that his children have much to learn, for
I was a visitor in their land and now do not consider
my culture to be of Yoruba stock. This, sir, despite
the papyrus of ani.
So, I agree with you, in principle, that as concerns
sovereignty, the Midwest "in this one" shall stick
with the east. It is very unlikely that my feet shall
ever touch Yoruba land again.
And that's my judgment as of now.

The Tradition of My Fathers
The Awo is a concept originated, in Awada-Ifa,
as the allegory concerning two Baale's, one
good one bad. Their father, as the eternal
story goes, had been rich you see. But one
day fell ill and died. One of the Baale's
inherited his father's house, the other
moved out and prospered in a new land, and
established himself as veritable reminder
of HOW the old man himself established... himself.
The Baale who lived in the Chief's old house,
he was ill-mannered and ill-tempered, for he
could not learn the lessons that his brother
had learned, and so in traveling his
brother had spoken with their father. The
presence of the father was upon the son
who left his father's old house.
The Babalawo is who observes ALL INFORMATION
from the two "Ile's" where the Baale's
live and analyzes these in tandem. It is
how he makes his curious divinations
when people from "near and far" come
for his insight into what ails them,
after all, the only thing that ails
a people is their king. An awo is
thus a king in disguise, in the
tradition of the ancient and earliest
pharaohs. He walketh silently amongst
men, is their mantra.
The above synopsis of traditional Yoruba
life is meant to demonstrate an inherent
"wisdom" in the way of the tradition
of my Fathers, the Nigerian people of
West Africa. My Fathers make the claim
that they are wise, and seeing as I have
not achieved materially what they have,
no matter what I know of God, then I must
give them the benefit of the doubt, and
TRUST that my fathers know what is right.
But what is right can never be corruption
and so it MUST then be that my opinion
on the ways of our fathers has been elicited
that I might, in some way, find a just
arbitration as concerns the rot of corruption
that has so decimated the legitimacy of
the authority of my fathers.
The cultural identification of Nigeria is
done using abstractions that can all be related
to "a tradition of fathers and sons," something
of a patriarchal monarchy of wise men for whom,
from time to time, could come a son wiser than
all the fathers. We do not have to go too far
from Africa to find in contextual relevance
a culture that makes the same claim as we do
in Africa. We call them the Jews, though they
are simply "White Africans." These are to be
distinguished from the White Settler Africans
whose fathers have a more controversial... tradition.
The irony is then why it is those of the White culture
who follow the African tradition of Fathers and Sons,
the cultures sensitive to value through the practice
of ritual sacrifice that are persecuted.
So, yes, we in Nigeria who accept a tradition of
fathers and sons and a culture of sensitivity
to value through the morally inspired practice
of ritual sacrifice can be said to be Jews. Why?
The gradations in logical explication behind the
ritual practices of the religions of "animist" Nigeria
do not escape the inherent "wisdom" of a tradition
of fathers--one must be able to explain in wisdom
one's practices, and while there are those practices
of the occult meant to command the spirit of life,
the sanctioned ritual practices of the Nigerian practitioners
are all explainable through the Yoruba concept of
"ogbon" or wisdom. Ojogbon is he who bears the weight
of a critically inspired outlook on the reality of our tradition,
for there are only but a few implications relevant to a culture
of fathers and sons, the primary one concerning HOW to manage
a state of affairs where one or more sons are wiser in that
era than all the fathers notarized as fathers. It is why
the story of Jesus is particularly relevant to Nigeria,
for though I administer Chief Akarue's grave, I do not know
what his memory has to do with stealing money meant, Vice
President Jonathan, to be used to help our people escape
from their DESPERATE, sir, desperate situation. The Jewish
State always makes the de facto claim that because of the
"ogbon" the wisdom inherent in all cultures birthed from
the father-son relationship, and because of the ability to
reduce the book of Leviticus and the Laws of Moses to
a logical reality--as Jesus did--all religions pertaining
to ritual sacrifice must withstand the logical scrutiny
of the book of Leviticus, demanding a day of judgment for
those who will not update their practices to fit the wisest
judgment of the tradition of my fathers. That the Vatican
mocks the State of Israel's ability to make this claim
explicitly is only temporary. Once the State of Israel
and her representatives AGREE with me that the Books of
Isaiah and Ezekiel give a formative vision "as concerns"
the only way in which peace can exist in Jerusalem,
the only state of a JEWISH government that is just,
then the Middle East Problem is solved logically.
We have, Mr. Vice President, light at the end of
the tunnel. My advice would be, sir, to always
place morality first, and since you have said that
this "the way of our fathers" is all you know,
having not been FORCED in indignity to accept
a tradition of Christianity you neither understood
nor knew anything about, pending your future
conversion to the correct interpretation of
the Church of Christ I trust that the guidance
of our fathers embodied in the memory of Chief
Akarue shall do justice to the ogbon, Ojogbon,
that our fathers exhibited when, like us,
Vice President, they walked the earth.

The New Testament of God: The Hand of He that Betrayeth Me
"Sir, are you the Christ?"
"I am."
"And you meant, when you said 'fulfilled' that the Book of
Revelation would have been written, this... new testament
as concerns the religion of sacrifice handed down to
Adam and then Abraham?"
"Yes."
"Hmmm. Fancy that. I have a perfect understanding of the Bible."
"But were you, in history, able to convince Rabbi Mintz's
peers what Rabbi Mintz now knows?"
"Passover is to be celebrated in Israel, forthwith,
with the noblest and highest implications of the laws
of YHWH in mind. As King of the Kingdom of Israel
that will have to do."
"There IS no Kingdom of Israel"
"There is now..."
He departed. Jesus, the Christ, Son of God,
and King [of the Kingdom] of Israel.
"...in 'the lacuna: where my kingdom was' ..."
Here goes (for the game)
The REASON the CORRECT interpretation of
Christianity differs in the way it does
from the CORRECT interpretation of Judaism
is... The man of Adam's era conversed
with animals. Placing value in "life"
after the fall, in order to rectify
the implications of a fall, would MEAN
placing said value in HUMAN life,
forever separating us from the animal
kingdom... which I don't consider
a bad thing. The rapture, sirs,
has just occurred here. I am present
on earth, bound to gravity's whims
by volition, an orbital sequence influencing
the planet earth...
"...somewhere in outer space..."
"I am."
"And you meant, when you said 'fulfilled' that the Book of
Revelation would have been written, this... new testament
as concerns the religion of sacrifice handed down to
Adam and then Abraham?"
"Yes."
"Hmmm. Fancy that. I have a perfect understanding of the Bible."

What Who Jesus Is Meant When Who Jesus Is Describes New Jerusalem
Elder Gaul:
Consider. Who Jesus is is told, in one part as the final
detail of a Jewish Lineage, and then in the other as a chronicle
of the birth of a new framework for characterizing
the implications of morality as one of the extant
possibilities for administering a state. This is to say,
one of the possibilities for administering a state
is argued for by the premise that, as the Tower
of Babel shows, all is folly when morality is not
given fundamental due. Theocracy is this argument
of government and the Virgin Birth, the portion of
Jesus told BEFORE he was born, is told using Greek
Language but describing the FINAL detail of a Jewish
Lineage. The Jews, as a Bar Mitzvah indicates,
are a recursive civilization, so it is quite
possible for a Virgin in the Jewish statistic,
to give birth. Sarah, for example, to the Goyim
would be an old woman who gave birth to your
salvation. In truth, however, because
in her percentile she had not yet fulfilled
certain obligations, she was still a virgin
in this foundational moment of history,
as histories are the genesis of the present.
So it was with Mary's Cousin who birthed
John the Baptist, opening up the possibility
granted by the concept of Bar Mitzvah, that
the Catholic Church today claims, no,
ARGUES that the Resurrected State of
Israel OUGHT, in form and fashion, to
function as the Vatican does. It
is what Jesus meant by the New or
"Heavenly" Jerusalem, because in
absolute balance would exist, therefore,
an earthly Jerusalem, even after the
destruction he prophesied, and this
would prove his point--as would
those Jehovah's Witnesses today
entasked with doing, elder Gaul,
just so. The Christ.

The Issues
Sir:
On Abortion:
The sexual act is an implied contract that is
fulfilled when the resultant pregnancy is brought
to term or subsequent to a time period
after which the man cannot biologically
be responsible for a pregnancy.
It should ONLY be acceptable to break
the contract IF or WHEN one of the parties,
ostensibly the woman herself, is an unwilling
partner. Incest, rape. Otherwise, if a women does not want
to have a child, she should not have sex. I've
been celibate, I announce, for a decade. If
our slavery to nerve endings is what the issue
is, then we have a long way to go. I should
be a priest, but the truth is that I'm waiting
for the right woman... for marriage.
(I actually consider those who support abortion
less intelligent. Really. I was also quite
disappointed in TD Jakes who would choose so-called
"race brotherhood" over the rights of the unborn.
What sort of Christian is that?)
On Gay Marriage
Marriage is quite clearly a union formed
for the benefit of regularizing the probable
outcome of a relationship between a man
and a woman. It puts the man and woman
together in "family" units since these
are the natural outcome of what occurs
during "regular" adult relationships.
That adult relationships now consider
homosexual partnerships does not, to me,
change the REASON for the stature given
to the UNION of man and woman by law--that
is to say, ONLY male-female relationships
can NATURALLY produce children. Thus
I stay conservative on this issue, and
would rather propose RIGHTS for those
engaged in civil unions that cannot
produce children. These are known to
adopt already, so the rights can go with
the adoption. But granting the REASON
for marriage to gay couples changes
the REASON for marriage.
I would like to see conservative leaders
discuss more the REASON for marriage BECAUSE
if the REASON I gave--that marriage is
a construct associated with a response
to the natural ability of men and women
to produce children when in biological
union--is not the right reason, then
I have no opposition under US Law
to gay marriage. What is the REASON
senator for the "marriage act" of
0 AD?
On Affirmative Action
It engenders a culture of dependency. It should
sunset at some point, but in tandem there should
be serious effort given to augmenting the schooling
and (more importantly) resources of kids from K to High, so that
there is no question of unqualified high school
graduates competing with those who have had
the advantage since childhood. Obviously.
The Community Reinvestment Act of 1995, that
retooled a previous version, was in keeping
with politicians inability to put substance
to any of the agitation of the people on the
ground. We need SUPPORT at the community
level, for research shows that active
community support provides an alternative
for a whole heck of a lot of children who
have to deal with unsupportive environments
at home. Most of these kids are in black
communities.

Pope Benedict:
I make a living as a Computational Linguist,
something I thrive very much in doing. I enjoy
the work and the knowledge is enriching. By
the Grace afforded me by God, my heavenly father,
my situation is positive and I wake up every morning
looking forward. I am thus totally unconcerned
about my ABILITY to make a living with this
vocation, since it is what I love to do
and since I am the best at it. I was saddened,
therefore, at those who proposed a "change"
and only, it seemed clear, because my success
would prove them wrong. What kind of ugly
man is that? Mr. Munoz? Ratzinger, we will
speak extensively concerning the choices I made,
after all they are central to the narrative of our
humanity in the eternal story of good and evil,
but as time compounds the weight of the responsibility
of failure begins to exceed the abilities of
those who live in a fantasy to bear the weight
of their responsibilities. My friends say,
and I cannot argue, that "the African Man"
has not demonstrated a true knowledge of
value or the concept of its implications.
Mr. Obama protests, but despite his attendant
actions it seems clear to me that no time
soon shall we see Africa rise, for this one
peculiar trait that seems by now pathological:
that, amongst the Africans, it is the one
who knows how to solve the problem whose
solution shall NOT be used. Such a people,
it is true, created their own hell. Now
they ask their children to suffer in it.
I accept Jerusalem, sir, as the eternal
indivisible capital of Israel, a posture
which now makes peace in the middle east
an adventure which shall not occur so
long as this administration does not
enlighten those in the dark "as concerns"
the utility of the mind of one whose
intelligence, sir, causes God to speak
on earth.
I make a living as a Computational Linguist,
something I thrive very much in doing. I enjoy
the work and the knowledge is enriching. By
the Grace afforded me by God, my heavenly father,
my situation is positive and I wake up every morning
looking forward. I am thus totally unconcerned
about my ABILITY to make a living with this
vocation, since it is what I love to do
and since I am the best at it. I was saddened,
therefore, at those who proposed a "change"
and only, it seemed clear, because my success
would prove them wrong. What kind of ugly
man is that? Mr. Munoz? Ratzinger, we will
speak extensively concerning the choices I made,
after all they are central to the narrative of our
humanity in the eternal story of good and evil,

Judicial Review: A Challenge to Obama's Administration of American Affairs
The intrinsic legitimacy of a system of justice
is consensus and its implications. We cannot
assume for others what we assume for ourselves,
but when we agree, what we assume for ourselves
is not taken for granted. There is a cost
associated, therefore, with judicial review,
and its exercise implies, or ought to imply,
that all parties related in notarized uniform
contract have AGREED to the "system of things."
We ask, then, what are the implications of
exercising judicial review when even just one
party related in uniform contract is complicated
not just by not AGREEING to American standards
of jurisprudence, but is in fact incarcerated
pending resolution for AGREEING to a legal code
determined criminal to us interest. The bounds
of authority define the humanism of the American.
We do not assume for others what we assume for
ourselves, but when we agree, then it is very rare
that we display tendencies that do not lean
towards the sympathies accorded the disadvantaged
amongst us. When dealing, however, with martial
forces, whether or not they are stateless judicial
review and its exercise must be considered with
great restraint: for the cost may be too much to
bear for the conscience of an aggrieved people, General.
The legacy of this administration is now in jeopardy,
for even a conviction under civilian jurisprudence
would imply a corrupted system, sir, exercising
"magnanimity" to appease a mob, but neglecting
the very foundational tenets, General... of
Justice.

Continuing (gaga to gaga)
He reigneth from age to age.
Sir Elder, this a solemn moment, a time for
the Negro race to reflect the quiet dignity
that won us our freedom. Mr. Obama's behavior
I find, therefore, stupefying. One must not
thus rush to predict then prophesy a bad thing.
But I have given it much thought and my salvation,
sir, as oddly as this sounds, is in the vestiges
of arianism that have to deal with the subconscious.
It cannot be, as Hume said, that "nature" made a distinction.
No, God made a distinction, for if God is who ministers
to the human where humanity fails the weak and the poor:
then it is true what my Father the President
told you that day, though an avowed satanist himself,
God must be black sir. More precisely, God is from
sub saharan Africa, for no more... wretched a
community exists, no more prime an opportunity
for the Living God to make his name known, forever,
in the annals of European History. And yet, even
I, his son, am unable to wipe "Afropesimism"
from the heart of my argument, not to imagine it
being wiped from the heart of "all its adherents."
That the solution to the Negro problem is at
these fingertips is certain. It is also
the solution to mankind's problems. But
not if you ask those most in need, General,
of the solution. AT least, sir, I have
a witness.

The Argument
Sir Elder:
I know what the value of an Intelligence Quotient
of 183, Standardized Normal Percentile, means to,
for example, the people of East Timoor. That such
like myself and my cousin Kofi are considered "fathers"
of the country is beyond an honor: I take great pride
in the development and witness of a people who fought
so hard for their independence under the watchful
and true witness of those of us so opportuned and
because we lived in a free land. Therefore, Mr. Obama's
executive decision on abortion demonstrates that he and
whom he represents are unaware of the concept of value
and how the value-price correlation is the primary
economic index. If this is so, that Obama does not
believe nature can ever produce value that beats the
curve of a fallen human specie, then not only is he
not as intelligent as his intelligence chief, he is
less moral. This is obvious.
In all things assert the sovereignty of the value-price
correlation, and you won't go wrong.

And upon this Rock
Elder Gaul:
On the day of judgment I shall be calling
you as a witness. Brother Faramade can
relax--I don't need Elder Gaul as a character
witness, but an intellectual one. John,
who wrote the Revelation, was a STUDENT of
the teachings of Christ (hence his knowledge
of God's time and times, and even half of it).
But we are here today discussing, if I might
be precise, the resurrected Christ. Elder
Gaul, is anything too hard for God? What
I mean is, Logos--the word is formed
from the logical reality that exists in
cosmic extension. And it asks:
WHY is it Peter who said this, or
WHY did Peter say this-->
[4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
[5] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
[6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The logical FIRST answer would be BECAUSE
doubt existed concerning the promise of
Christ. But what promise is Peter
primarily privy to, since ALL the disciples
were privy to "the Kingdom of Heaven" and
the "Day of judgment." Well...
16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
[18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
[19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
[20] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
[21] From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
[22] Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Clearly, Peter in the FORMER verse, AFTER this occurrence
ostensibly, NOW sees things in the light of God's time,
binding on earth what is bound "in heaven." The promise
of resurrection is not fulfilled if, and only in spirit,
the argument of Jesus Resurrects, but without the man
Jesus partaking in the victory over death. That man
exists today, in total synoptic form, in the Nation State
of Israel and it is THROUGH him that you will be able
to update your "new scrolls." Not that he is more special
than the other Christs who walk the streets and spread
the good news, but he is HOW you understand the symbolisms
of YHWH in as accurate precision as you are gifted by
his Wisdom and the legacy of the nation he first
spoke through. Three days. This is the third day. In heaven.
On the day of judgment I shall be calling
you as a witness. Brother Faramade can

A Symbolic Crucifixion
A man, formed, is his passion. Certain
civic societies symbolize this by extracting
from the man, the core components of his
life's volitional constitution, then
ENSURING through a process often covered
with the blood of a formerly living creature,
or wine in a skull (whichever tastes better),
then NAILING this formed character to a cross.
In this way, the man IS his passion and if
ever he stopped having this avowed passion,
he died the moment he stopped having it,
not the day he physically corrupts.
So, if Jesus ceased agitation for the CORRECT
interpretation of the Law of Moses, then he
was a Rabbi who was CRUCIFIED to ensure that
this most important of theological arguments
was always correlated to his name. The book
of the Resurrection (Revelation) therefore
tells the true story and is the FIRST
book of the Bible. Everything else follows
as is. I guarantee that if you gave, just
HANDED a bible so ordered, with Revelation first,
(as a preamble), to a literature student he
would come up with pretty much all that I've
come up with, for I just study the bible...
Rabbi... as art. And as poets go, Jesus is the
King of all the Kings.

Schizoid Behavior
Pardon the interruption Rabbi, but although I no

focus to our scholarship but the news rooms
these days are full of wild and colorful tales.
"The Kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of Our LORD"
Sir, now they say this... Nidal dude, that he exhibited
"schizoid" behavior from the wack joint, and yet he
WAS a psychiatrist. What I don't hear in their analyses
concerns whether he exploited his duty as a psychiatrist
to learn how to APPEAR schizoid.
"But for what reason?"
"The pattern Rabbi. Read the pattern"
"it says... 'and he will take ten towards you'"
"You are a smart man"

Exploring the meaning of "life" and "death"
Sir:
Mark Chapter 8
[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
[31] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Assume, as a thought experiment, Elders and Rabbis, that
this man, Jesus, was in fact a pain in the side of
his elders at the time. Assume that one day
he suddenly stopped being an agitator and suddenly
agreed with EVERYTHING the Rabbi's said and did.
This would suddenly make the story of Jesus in
the gospels rather strange, for the gospels ARE
about the fundamental disagreement concerning how
to obey God's Law. Now go back to the reality,
which is that Jesus was an agitator against the
elders of Israel. Imagine that one day he
suddenly stopped agitating. For ten years.
In those ten years, is Jesus alive? If you,
therefore, think carefully my fathers, about
what the bible is saying, it is teaching that
Jesus IS his argument. Jesus IS the fight against
a bad interpretation. His very being IS
the agitation against an incorrect premise for
the Law of Moses. This is WHO Jesus is.
THEREFORE...
It is possible, for Jesus as defined, to "die"
and still be alive, since his life is itself
the fight against a bad law. So, if he
stopped fighting against a bad law, then he is
dead. But then what if the exact same fight
arose ten years after Jesus stopped fighting
it, after the death of "he who fought bad laws"
as Jesus is interpreted in Christianity? What
if it was another flesh, but it was the same fight,
the same agitation. Or even the same flesh.
Therefore, the spirit is the context for volition,
and so this is what Peter means when he says
Christ is put to death in the flesh, but quickened
in the spirit. This is one way in which resurrection
is contextualized, and for more on that see 1 Corinthians
15. The second way is by the power of God, when in God's
time--where a thousand years is exactly a day--God's judgment
is fulfilled through the resurrection of Christ. Again,
ignoring Israel today is folly, Elder Gaul, for again
the fight exists today, of Jesus himself--and possibly
even of the tribe of David--wherever a Jehovah's Witness
in Israel propounds a belief system that dilutes the Jewish
State of its legitimacy. Remember that being Jewish means
identifying with a specific religion, which Jesus updates.
Any living being today, of the tribe of David, who
agitates the fight of Jesus as was done 2000 years ago
is THEREFORE the resurrected Christ in this, the third
millenial day after the crucifixion. Christ didn't defeat
death by being resurrected as a spirit being to influence
men, but not as a human being who partakes in victory. The
book of the Revelation is CLEAR that JESUS partook in
the victory of resurrection, and I propose, sir, that
you are WRONG. Of the virgin birth, the miracles, the crucifixion,
the resurrection and the ascension, it is the crucifixion
you believe in and YET the POINT of Jesus' story is
that he conquered death. I'd rather question the crucifixion,
given the tone of the bible, than the resurrection. For all
mortals die, and there is doubt about it. The imperishable
body of the resurrected Christ, however, seems to me to be
a PHYSICAL body, but after a SYMBOLIC crucifixion as the
Freemason's do. I don't see WHY we would believe in the Christ
if we didn't believe in his physical resurrection, and if
you believe that his resurrection was of some symbolism, then
so in fact MUST be his crucifixion. Otherwise, consistency,
elder, is lacking. More to come.

The Ressurection of the Christ
Sir:
1. Mark Chapter 8
[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
[31] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
2. John Chapter 2
[19] Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[20] Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[21] But he spake of the temple of his body.
[22] When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
3. 2 Peter Chapter 3
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
AND
1 Peter Chapter 3
[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
[19] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
4. Matthew Chapter 26
[59] Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
[60] But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
[61] And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
[62] And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
[63] But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
[64] Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
[65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
5. Matthew Chapter 28
Matt.28
[1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
[7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
[8] And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
[9] And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
[10] Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
[11] Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
[12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
[13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
[14] And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
[15] So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
[16] Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
[17] And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
6. Mark Chapter 16
[1] And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
[2] And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
[3] And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
[4] And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
[5] And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
[6] And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
[7] But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
[8] And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
[9] Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
7. Luke Chapter 24
[1] Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
[2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
[3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
[4] And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
[5] And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
[6] He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
[7] Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
[8] And they remembered his words,
8. John Chapter 20
[1] The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
[2] Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
[3] Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
[4] So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
[5] And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
[6] Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
[7] And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
[8] Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
[9] For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
[10] Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
[11] But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
[12] And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
[13] And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
[14] And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
[15] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
[17] Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
[18] Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
[19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

I believe the proper context within which to view
the resurrection, supplemented by Romans 6 and 1 Corinthians
15 is now in sight.
i.e.
[12] Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
[13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
[14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
[15] Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
[16] For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
[17] And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
[18] Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
[19] If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
[20] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
[21] For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
[22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
.......................................................
and
[33] Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
[34] Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
[35] But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
[36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
[37] And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
[38] But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
[40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
[42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
[43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
[45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
[50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
[55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
[57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
[58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
WITH
Luke 24
[36] And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[37] But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
[38] And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
[39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
[40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
[41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
[42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
[43] And he took it, and did eat before them.
[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
[46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
[47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
[48] And ye are witnesses of these things.
[49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
[50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
[51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
[52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
...
I believe the Resurrection, and many Cardinals seem to agree,
is the sticking point. I advise being celestially perfect,
meaning that in the spirit of testimony, the Resurrected
Christ exists, TODAY, in Israel. And can be saved from
pain, if we take our responsibilities to "our brothers"
the Rabbis seriously. The testimony of Jesus is
the Spirit of Prophesy, sir. It is HOW he conquered death.
By being gifted the story of the destiny of who would
preside over aggregational judgment, three millennial
days after a prophet with the spirit of Elias suffered
to warn fathers to turn to their sons. Given
what we have discussed a la Mark-Genesis 1, Matthew-Genesis 5,
it's quite possible that Matthew is a prophesy from a pre-pentecostal
synopt. In which case, the following verse is today:
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Again, if the Bible is ABOUT Jesus Christ and the story of
the Christ is ABOUT a theological disagreement between
Rabbis and a Jewish Son concerning the Law of Moses and
the God of Moses, THEN the EXACT SAME SITUATION
faced by the Jesus of the Synoptic Gospels exists
today wherever a Jehovah's Witness exists who is
of the physical tribe of David. This is a
BETTER explanation of the Resurrection than one
steeped in fear an irrationality. Jesus
CAN be said to be alive today in the proper
context, for if the Jewish Jehovah's Witness
does not take advantage of the message of the gospel,
he or she could face a pain continuum all the way
to torture and crucifixion, in this world we live in.
Yes, Witnesses face persecution EVERYWHERE, but nowhere
is the precision as exact as in Israel, where any
member of the organization finds himself immediately
automatically at odds, per doctrine, with the State
of Israel itself and her might. The Mighty God speaks.
1. Mark Chapter 8
[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
[31] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
2. John Chapter 2
[19] Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[20] Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[21] But he spake of the temple of his body.
[22] When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
3. 2 Peter Chapter 3
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
AND
1 Peter Chapter 3
[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
[19] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
4. Matthew Chapter 26
[59] Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
[60] But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
[61] And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

[43] And he took it, and did eat before them.
[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
[46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
[47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
[48] And ye are witnesses of these things.
[49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
[50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
[51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
[52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
...
I believe the Resurrection, and many Cardinals seem to agree,
is the sticking point. I advise being celestially perfect,
meaning that in the spirit of testimony, the Resurrected
Christ exists, TODAY, in Israel. And can be saved from
pain, if we take our responsibilities to "our brothers"
the Rabbis seriously. The testimony of Jesus is
the Spirit of Prophesy, sir. It is HOW he conquered death.
By being gifted the story of the destiny of who would
preside over aggregational judgment, three millennial
days after a prophet with the spirit of Elias suffered
to warn fathers to turn to their sons. Given
what we have discussed a la Mark-Genesis 1, Matthew-Genesis 5,
it's quite possible that Matthew is a prophesy from a pre-pentecostal
synopt. In which case, the following verse is today:
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Again, if the Bible is ABOUT Jesus Christ and the story of
the Christ is ABOUT a theological disagreement between
Rabbis and a Jewish Son concerning the Law of Moses and
the God of Moses, THEN the EXACT SAME SITUATION
faced by the Jesus of the Synoptic Gospels exists
today wherever a Jehovah's Witness exists who is
of the physical tribe of David. This is a
BETTER explanation of the Resurrection than one
steeped in fear an irrationality. Jesus
CAN be said to be alive today in the proper
context, for if the Jewish Jehovah's Witness
does not take advantage of the message of the gospel,
he or she could face a pain continuum all the way
to torture and crucifixion, in this world we live in.
Yes, Witnesses face persecution EVERYWHERE, but nowhere
is the precision as exact as in Israel, where any
member of the organization finds himself immediately
automatically at odds, per doctrine, with the State
of Israel itself and her might. The Mighty God speaks.

A Lone Gunman?
A couple of days ago, a fella named
Nidal Hassan, like "Abu Nidal," opened
fire at a military preparedness center
killing 13 and injuring about thirty.
Conspicuously, the idea that this
was a terrorist attack has been missing
from the Main Stream Media. We have
heard that he was a "mad man" and a
disgruntled soldier and acted alone.
America, America, when shall we learn?
It is true that we ought not jump to
conclusions, but that statement was
for a different market. For the market
of intelligent people, it seems pretty
obvious a la Mahsood, that the work of
the Pakistani Government in removing
a safe haven for Al Kaeda in Pakistan
has resulted in a retaliation on US
soil. Instead of being tepid, our
Commander in Chief ought to be taking
this precious moment to coordinate drone attacks as the
Pakistani military mops up and flushes
out rebels from the tribal areas. This would
give Bin Laden few options for motion,
giving us a chance to finally apprehend him.
Alas, our Commander seems to have given up
on Bin Laden and makes very strange statements,
to boot, about America's responsibility for the
continued attacks on American soil by terrorists.
This is our first black president, and this
is how he has handled his first major terrorism
crisis. Read the tea leaves.
Asiding the obvious but ethereal metaphor
alluding to abortion.... it is as well a statement
about who claims to be a muslim... but who
is just a beer drinking satan worshiper, at least
in the eyes of those who claim to speak that
brand of asalam...

Shaikh Abdul Gorino: From Our Own Correspondent
Shaikh Abdul was dressed in a sultry camouflage
army uniform when I arrived for our meeting. I
had been informed by the protocol officer from
Marietta that this was an informational meeting
after which I would have "at least six weeks"
to interview this shadowy figure of islamic resistance,
famed worldwide for his bravery. A mythical
man, to be sure, his myth was only enlarged by
the arrival, before our first dialog, of an ambassador
from the United Nations who, promptly at 1.00PM, looked
at his watch then ushered in three Princes from Saudi
Arabia who felt it "necessary" to proxy the interchanges.
Perhaps they were concerned that Abdul's words and
actions were liabilities in the complicated world
of international alliances.
"You know you're going to have to take this seriously"
I giggled to Hillary, my photographer.
"Sure, whatever," she had been gambling the evening before
at the hotel's casino and was perhaps ready for a nap. This
before the first shot was... taken.
"I will demonstrate to you the power I have"
Shaikh Gorino said the moment I arrived in his
presence. He pointed to a soldier who promptly
used his fingers, as Hillary snapped away in fascination,
to slit, fillet even, the throat of an imaginary
woman.
"But she's only imaginary" I said tentatively, attempting
to get the B-Side talks going.
"For now" the Shaikh said, "but should you threaten me
with torture then I have a bridge to sell you"
"That's America's Highway" I said, it was the I-35.
"And so it is," he said of the bridge, "nonetheless
these are my powers. Now shall we discuss?"
The head of the woman dispersed with the culprit
soldier, I sat down to chat, B-Side, with the Shaikh.
It is how this story, Mayowa, began.

Where Things Stand
Since that day in 1999 with the thunder, when,
and for whatever reason, I believed I was
taking part in the "Olympics of the Mind"
(in truth I was dialoging with a US Admiral),
and the subsequent "gold medal ceremonies"
when I walked "the streets of gold" at the
ACTUAL end of a rainbow in 2000, I've been
working backwards. God exists, and I personally
have a heavenly father who once also lived
on earth. For me he was known as King Shango
and after the necessary study, I can say that
my destiny is to prove "to at least one other"
that it is quite feasible, "if at all possible (his words)"
that I am his blood descendant.
That was before I picked up the Bible.
Now?
Hmm....
For me, the Bible is ABOUT Jesus Christ and is
anchored, in its most relevant context, in the
fourth chapter of Malachi which foretells in
precision what THEN will happen on the great
day of judgment when the most relevant aggregate
sin is judged that ostensibly unleashes all the
prophesies in the bible. This most relevant
aggregate sin of mankind is Fathers ignoring
whatever truths their Sons teach in value to
the culture where traditions have corrupted
the morals of men. Principally, I am
philosophical and religious about the apriority
of morality and the implications of a world
where this apriority remains, at best,
an importunate reminder of adult responsibility
as opposed to a foundational characteristic
of the well formed human being.
My traditions in Africa, by many analyses,
are my identity. By the gift of my Heavenly
Father, Shango, I am able to read Ancient
Yoruba and so am gifted with a particular
insight into the religion of Ifa that is
hard to come by. And so, the story ABOUT
Jesus Christ is very relevant, for my fathers,
with a legacy in Egypt that all can see,
are toying with the disaster of all disasters,
ignoring the light of truth when the black
man needs it most. It still flows, Admiral,
through these.. here fingers...

Coequality Theory
References to "God" presuppose an entity,
a being, with human attributes relevant
to the greater good of mankind. In a foundational
moment of history, when the angels of the
unenlightened one influenced men to use
the sacred intelligence of God, the
mystique of his art, for the baser
good of demons and principalities such
as populated those sensitive to the nuance
of a higher intelligence... a battle
occurred between the forces of evil
and the forces of good. Leading the
forces of good, for a very long time
fighting alone, a man named Jesus.
The Pentecost describes how his followers
led by Peter attained the mastery of communicative
abstraction in order to convey, in the spirit
and authority of the Master, the truths of
his teaching. Because, from the perspective
of mankind, God's Angels were fighting Satan's
Angels, that is God and Satan were fighting,
when Jesus fought alone, before the ascension
of his disciples into angelic tongue and
abstractions in patience and wisdom, he
WAS the force of the Almighty God. This
is the Mighty God Isaiah speaks about,
and more importantly, why. This is to say,
the tradition of speaking at the levels of
abstraction required to defeat the imprint
of Satan in civilization building goes through
a process of renewal and regeneration, and in
the case of the Jews was quite obviously to me
demonstrates that the Pentecostal Disciples
thus lived in an era IMMEDIATELY AFTER
the Jewish Civilization (which was destroyed
and exiled) had the trappings of abstraction
but not the capacity to control the implications
of abstraction.
Such a time again exists today, when, in this
case, the people of Nigeria are warring with words
of abstraction. But whom amongst these speaks the
voice of the God of Nigeria, Olodumare? If he
is you, sir, then stand forward and be brave.
For only the brave can stand in the presence of
God. Or his Son...

is the Universal Deictic Marker.
Phonetically it is alveo-palatal
non-nasal and is today most closely
orthographed in language by the french
"le" or "the."
(as in Le Mighty God)
We say that on the day of the Pentecost,
Peter, the first Pope of the Catholic
Church, "acquired" the necessary strings
of abstraction to begin to utter the
commandments of fire that would soon
engulf the region then world in the power
of his Master, Jesus Christ. It seems
clear to me, or any objective reader, that
this power over abstraction was necessary
to universalize the Jewish MESSAGE of YHWH
and only then could the gospel have meaning.
It is in this context, AND THIS CONTEXT ALONE,
that the book of Revelation is to be read.
This closes the chapter on "the Christian Narrative"
and its implications for Lesson 1: When Does our
Model Predict the world will end?

[1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
AND
...
(Here's what occurred JUST BEFORE St. Peter acquired mastery over his tongue. Just like Moses, just like modern graduate students on the day of their thesis, ostensibly)....
Rev.12
[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
[16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Remember, Orpheus, the commandments of God are in the Torah, and
the testimony of Jesus begins with the Pentecost within which
purview the semantic precision of the Book of the Revelation
as well as its qualitative context are placed in precision, sir.

I can no longer pretend, Socrates, that this... sacrifice is
not of value. Please see to it, sir, that the implications

produce, the universe. Maybe another poet. I do demand
that there cannot ever be enough of us, and if that
precious citadel shall only produce poets henceforth
I shall neither be the worse for it. I demand.
Rabbi, my religion, Catholic Christianity, has one
flaw. It does not demand of its adherents total
honesty, but through a series of mysteries maintains
logical continuum so that I agree, entirely, with
Pope Benedict in his homilies. It seems he is, indeed,
my father in heaven demonstrated here on earth. Very
clever.
For example, I do not believe any human being can
be born of a virgin, unless the concept of virginity
CIRCUMSCRIBES the mystery of the Christ. In which
case, it becomes OBVIOUS, Rabbi, that SINCE Christ
is the Son of God, he too was born of an immaculate
conception, the sort the scientists call "the big bang."
Some... first cause produced the Christ, and we say
this first cause was God himself, thus Christ
was begotten of God. Now how can anyone say this is
true, that Christ is begotten of God?
Thankfully we have modern historical science and
whatever credibility remains attached to it since
the rise of two Rabbis, one from Israel the other
from an ancient Kingdom of Judah known, in the main,
as "the Kingdom of Oyo."
In it, modern historical science, the attitude is
taken that the Jews were carried into captivity
several hundred years before Julius Caesar
unified the Calendar and gave us again accurate
reference. The desolation of Israel by Rome
in and around 69 AD, after Pompey's capture
in 63, was INDEED the fulfillment of the "bad
part" of the prophesies of Jeremiah and maybe
Daniel. Whoever it was, using the science of
generations and recursive history, it is clear
that the history of morality as told by power
and documented in our holy scrolls alludes
to a turning point when the aggregate lessons
of history are either learned from or repeated.
If repeated, then humanity comes to an inglorious
end. If learned from, then a continuum exists by
which humanity can reattain Eden. In the best
case scenario in this second option, the Rabbinic
High Council in the State of Israel TODAY
insists of themselves, in the quietest spaces
appreciable to them, the Jesus WAS the fulfillment
of the prophesies as he said, that the miracles
are irrelevant and are the formulation of the myth
that surround the man who taught the narration of
the Book of the Revelation, Rabbi, of the Christ.
For, one day, Rabbi Mintz, as I tell this story
for the LAST TIME, having already been spoken for
by the Nigerian God of Thunder, Shango, I was
walking home from the grocery store with food
for my sheep and me when a rainbow, sir, a rainbow
opened up and touched down before me... just
a few paces from my apartment. I went into it
and stayed there for a couple of minutes, then left.
Was there gold at the end of the rainbow?
This is the point, Rabbi. This is the point. For
eons mankind has rumored of gold at the end of
a rainbow, and now we have, and with human witnesses,
a person who has actually been at the end of the
rainbow. Is it not comparable, what God told
me at the end of that rainbow, what God told
Moses on the mountain? And yet in Nigeria today
you will find so-called brothers of the Tribe of
Simeon using Satan himself to interpret the holy
words of God. And eye for an eye, Rabbi. An eye
for an eye. If justice exists, Rabbi, then it
MUST be true that Genesis is to be read figuratively
at least. To this end, the Catholic interpretation
of the first verse goes:
in principio creavit zeus et caelum teram
This is an affirmation that when God created the "heaven" and the
"earth" what he created was the material world and the immaterial
world. I personally don't believe in magical miracles since I'm
exempted by my rainbow experience. I believe, instead, that
whoever wrote the Revelation did so with such clarity that
in the spirit world he opened blind eyes and healed lepers
and in the world of power gave sinners their soul back so that
in the synoptic gospels he is said to have been a great magician.
What I don't understand, Rabbi, is why the Pope continues to
excuse this charlatanry, why he does not, once and for all,
tell the principal truth as revealed in Revelation. Why he
does not finally put the rituals, liturgy and religion in
its proper context. But, again, even the bible says this
will happen. So I am obedient and patient.
Myths form, Rabbi Mintz, when men transcend humanity. Jesus
did so and his myth continues to mesmerize the inattentive
so that one can see that, in fact, without the teachings of
Christ one is BOUND to fall into the trap of what we can see
exists without miracles, Satan. The only way out, sir, is truth.
Here, Judaism has Christianity beat, for today Christianity
remains a lie, a ridiculous sham, Rabbi, that studies a religion
that they do not understand. The true Christian, Rabbi,
such as myself (please don't stone me ;-) studies the Torah and
then INTERPRETs using the Revelation of the Christ. Where ambiguity
needs resolution then the following books, in order, provide resolution
as though the Christian Hadith (and this becomes obvious from study):
Malachi
Matthew
Genesis 5
Mark
Genesis 1
Luke
John
Romans 6
1 Corinthians 15
....
If after this there is still doubt, then the rest of the Christian
bible will be ordered.
