“What’s up, Doc?”

BUT LITTLE TOMMY WILL SAVE US ALL












This will probably get me on some Scientology shitlist.

“Tom Cruise will save the world from aliens — not on the big screen but in real life.
His day job as an actor pales next to the billion-year contract of service he signed with the Church of Scientology, according to a bombshell new book, “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & The Prison of Belief.” New Yorker writer Lawrence Wright details Cruise’s demigod status within the church, as well as the group’s ultimate purpose — protect humanity from aliens living in our bodies, who are bent on destroying us and ultimately the planet. Cruise was introduced to the religion when he was 23 years old by his then-girlfriend, actress Mimi Rogers. Seven years his senior, Rogers was an avowed member of Scientology; they married in 1987. Cruise was quickly intrigued, but he kept his initial participation low-profile. He began undergoing “auditing” — a process in which church members are queried about every aspect of their lives — under his given name, Thomas Mapother IV. It took several years for church leaders to realize that for all of their celebrity acolytes — including John Travolta, Priscilla Presley, Kirstie Alley, Kelly Preston and Sonny Bono — they had a true superstar at their disposal.
Cruise would later come to believe that in the hierarchy of Scientology, he was No. 3, behind only the founder, the late L. Ron Hubbard (known as LRH) and No. 2 David Miscavige, who goes by COB, for Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center.” Click here for more (although it is from the NY Post.)

GODDAMN IT TO HELL!












I am still numb from the news about my old friend Wilko Johnson. What is there to say except…except…keep driving that plane.

THE LUNATICS BUILT THE ASYLUM















Did you ever wonder why the ultra-rich and mega-powerful are such unmitigated swine? Kevin Dutton attempts to explain in Scientific American, in a story titled "What Psychopaths Teach Us About How to Succeed"

"Traits that are common among psychopathic serial killers -- a grandiose sense of self-worth, persuasiveness, superficial charm, ruthlessness, lack of remorse and the manipulation of others -- are also shared by politicians and world leaders. Individuals, in other words, running not from the police. But for office. Such a profile allows those who present with these traits to do what they like when they like, completely unfazed by the social, moral or legal consequences of their actions. ...
"If you are violent and cunning, like the real-life "Hannibal Lecter" Robert Maudsley, you might take a fellow inmate hostage, smash his skull in and sample his brains with a spoon as nonchalantly as if you were downing a soft-boiled egg. (Maudsley, by the way, has been cooped up in solitary confinement for the past 30 years, in a bulletproof cage in the basement of Wakefield Prison in England.)
 "Or if you are a brilliant neurosurgeon, ruthlessly cool and focused under pressure, you might, like the man I'll call Dr. Geraghty, try your luck on a completely different playing field: at the remote outposts of 21st-century medicine, where risk blows in on 100-mile-per-hour winds and the oxygen of deliberation is thin. 'I have no compassion for those whom I operate on,' he told me. 'That is a luxury I simply cannot afford. In the theater I am reborn: as a cold, heartless machine, totally at one with scalpel, drill and saw. When you're cutting loose and cheating death high above the snowline of the brain, feelings aren't fit for purpose. Emotion is entropy -- and seriously bad for business. I've hunted it down to extinction over the years.' ...
 "Psychopaths are fearless, confident, charismatic, ruthless and focused. Yet, contrary to popular belief, they are not necessarily violent. Far from its being an open-and-shut case -- you're either a psychopath or you're not -- there are, instead, inner and outer zones of the disorder: a bit like the fare zones on a subway map. There is a spectrum of psychopathy along which each of us has our place. ...  
"[In a test designated as Case 1, subjects were told they could save five lives, but to do so they had to flip a switch that would kill one person. In Case 2, they could also save five lives, but they could only do so by pushing another person to his death.] Just like most normal members of the population, psychopaths make pretty short work of the dilemma presented in Case 1. Yet -- and this is where the plot thickens -- quite unlike normal people [who have difficulty with Case 2 because it is more personal], they also make pretty short work of Case 2. Psychopaths, without batting an eye, are perfectly happy to [push that person to his death].
"To compound matters further, this difference in behavior is mirrored, rather distinctly, in the brain. The pattern of neural activation in both psychopaths and normal people is well matched on the presentation of impersonal moral dilemmas -- but dramatically diverges when things get a bit more personal.
"Imagine that I were to pop you into a functional MRI machine and then present you with the two dilemmas. What would I observe as you went about negotiating their moral minefields? Just around the time that the nature of the dilemma crossed the border from impersonal to personal, I would see your amygdala and related brain circuits -- your medial orbitofrontal cortex, for example -- light up like a pinball machine. I would witness the moment, in other words, that emotion puts its money in the slot. But in a psychopath, I would see only darkness. The cavernous neural casino would be boarded up and derelict -- the crossing from impersonal to personal would pass without any incident. ...
" 'Intellectual ability on its own is just an elegant way of finishing second,' one successful CEO told me. 'Remember, they don't call it a greasy pole for nothing. The road to the top is hard. But it's easier to climb if you lever yourself up on others. Easier still if they think something's in it for them.'
"Jon Moulton, one of London's most successful venture capitalists, agrees. In a recent interview with the Financial Times, he lists determination, curiosity and insensitivity as his three most valuable character traits.
"No prizes for guessing the first two. But insensitivity? The great thing about insensitivity, Moulton explains, is that 'it lets you sleep when others can't.' "

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ELVIS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
















Did you notice I was gone? Were you irked by my absence? I figured after the bloody Maya let us down and the planet went on tediously turning, and at time when the solstice Saturnalia of alcohol, tryptophan and figgy pudding was rolling, I may as well low and play with my toys. But now it’s Elvis’ birthday, a long-time post-Yule call to arms, and thus it’s time to rise up and return to my well-worn personal trench. In this instance, I will to turn you over to Keith Richards and his fanboy Presley assessment. Click here

TWO THOUSAND AND…
















Another year for me and you? And what will this number-tainted twelve month serve up on its mystery platter. Regular readers will be aware that – like, Stephen King – I’m a screaming triskaidekaphobe so my expectations are not too fucking lofty for the upcoming. But poor numerology is no excuse for not continuing the good fight while our strength holds. I also picked up this interweb tidbit... 

“The number 13 has been a magical number since the Ancient Egyptians first depicted the Ladder to Eternal Life. They believed that there were twelve steps on the ladder to eternal life and knowledge and to take the thirteenth step meant going through death into everlasting life. Thirteen, for the Egyptians, was associated with immortality.”

On the other hand, thirteen steps traditionally led to the gallows in old time western movies.

Even at the end of the world you can count of the NY Post. Under the banner…

"All the horny hubbub has been caused by a doomsday prediction made by the ancient Mayan calendar, which predicts the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012, at 11:11 a.m.
While some people around the world are arming themselves and digging into bunkers, many New Yorkers are simply hoping for a hot time. “I will be looking for an end-of-the-world hook-up,” Dennis Cintron, 29, a Lower East Side bartender, told The Post. “If you’re going to go out, go out with a bang.” Click here for more.

LOSNG TIME ON HIGHWAY 5












Hanukkah has already past and the Solstice, Yule, Xmas, Kwanza, Festivus, Saturnalia, and all the other celebrations of the returning of the light bear down on us fast and – in this dismal, dubious, and maybe even dangerous year – we also have the Maya-inspired possibility that there won’t even be a 2013. (Triskaidekaphobes may be relieved.)  So on Friday we party (scroll down for details) and in the meantime I could hardly resist posting this weirdass tale from HCB.  

“Two young men whose duties cause them to travel National Route No. 5 on a regular basis between the communities of Catriló and Santa Rosa reported feeling "disoriented" during the trip on three separate occasions. After several minutes had elapsed, they noticed that they continued the trip without any further incident, but without any recollection of the distance they had already covered. This occurred to them on three separate instances and at different times, both noon and sunset, without any apparent explanation. Joel, one of the protagonists of the strange story, told CEUFO that they were chatting normally at one point and suddenly became disoriented, having no idea of what happened to them, but upon reacting, they realized they had covered several kilometers without any memory of doing so. The stretch of road where this alleged incident occurred is a segment of some 35 kilometers between the towns of Lonquimay and Anguil.
A similar incident befell a driver some ten years ago in the vicinity of Lonquimay. He stopped at a service station to ask "where he was" as he had no idea how he'd gotten there, although he had envisioned driving along that road. The driver continued his journey in the area in question, feeling disoriented once again. He reached the locality of Toay without knowing how he'd accomplished the trip. The event became widely known and a source of discussion among residents of Lonquimay and its environs, but was not picked up by the media. For this reason, the Centro de Estudios OVNI issued a communiqué aimed at "people driving along National Route No. 5, specifically the segment between the localities of Lonquimay and Anguil, and who may have sensed time anomalies, should please report it immediately to CEUFO, as we have received reports of three cases at different times and days within the past month."

SUNDAY BREAKFAST











I think I need a drink. A Cuba Libre? I played a show with The Deviants on Friday night, and, like the codger that I am, I rested up yesterday and it was only when I turned on my computer that I found the long breaking news feed on the deadly insanity in Connecticut. I wasn’t being fair but I was suddenly damn glad that I’d left America. It wasn’t so much the crime itself. Such things happen and they are both mind-wrenchingly tragic and close to inexplicable. What worries me more are the minor monsters who slither from the woodwork in the wake of this kind of horror. Check these two comments lifted at random and unedited from the Murdoch-owned New York Daily News online… 

"Finding out the REASON for these killings makes the deaths have meaninig. The REASON behind these shootings, which needs to be exposed is that PSYCH MEDS cause suicide, homicide and are being used to genocide the whole world. ALl the mass shooters were on them. The REAL CULPRITS are psychiatrists; these shooters are victims too. Remember Levi Aron? Who killed Leiby Kletzky - Levi's sister died on a psych hospital from suicide caused by the drugs. Levi was ON psych drugs and used them to kill Leiby. He did to the kid what was done to HIM by psychiatry. Same story everywhere. stThe columbine shooters were ON psych drugs AND taking a death ed class. In the 90s many schools had them and the suicide rates shot up duh. WHy? the social engineers who RUN mental health and education want to depopulate the pl
anet by 90% and mind control everyone thru drugs. Brave New world by Aldous Huxley was the blueprint for them - a fascist society where everyone is drugged for control. Huxley said "a scientific fascism will be easy to sell the masses" meaning, the "supposedly scientific" mental health system which is atheistic and FALSELY calls Christians and everyone with spiritual experiences and beliefs schizophrenic. The murderers are the drs who drug people. The drugs brainwash peple. Al the major assassins were brainwashed patsies - one of the reasons is to justify GUN Control laws to disarm the population so we cant protect ourselves from the government. It is ALL MANIPULATION. They WANT us to beg the government to protect us. Remember SON OF SAM David Berkowitz? He became a born again Christian 12 years ago and is nO LONGER CRAZY. He says he WAS crazy due to dabbling in the occult wjhich opened him to demonic possession .THat testimony is important and people need to hear it - that JESUS HEALS People of Mental and Physical illness. IF berkowitz had been killed, nobody would hear his testikmony. what use is that/ He sholuld be set FREE so MILLIONS can hear his story - THEN his victims at least won't have died in vain. See my website, free books and articles at 1prophetspeaks.com HOw to be healed, saved & born again. Jesus heals The mental health system is a front for nazi genocide QUOtes showing the real agendas behind mental health and education ILlluminati mind conttrol in psych drugs, music and education."

Or try this one…

"More to the point, the anti-gun laws failed repeatedly as they do with criminals who ignore them. The 'Gun Free School Zone" policy is not only a total failure, it's a magnet for mass-killers, might as well paint a bullseye on every school. See, when law abiding citizens see 'gun free zone', they know not to bring a firearm anywhere near it. But when criminals see a gun-free zone, they see it as a green light, a soft target of opportunity. No law would have stopped this psycho-geek who apparently was known to many in ewtown to be dangerous. One armed school official - teacher, janitor, principal - would have. But the liberal rats in the media and their big mouth big city ghoul mayors will laugh at that, preferring instead to disarm the citizens so that their gutter accomplices in the criminal world can more readily prey on them. Keeps the Elites in power."

SUNDAY BREAKFAST










Our slimy, bungling, bought-and-paid-for old-Etonian Prime Minister has decided that the plebs are drinking too much – which seems hardly surprising in the foul and uncertain midst of the entire austerity movement of which he is a graspingly enthusiastic supporter. He means to put a stop to all this proletariat drunkenness by raising the price of booze. The BBC tells us…

The government is proposing a minimum price of 40p per unit of alcohol in England and Wales in an effort to "turn the tide" against binge drinking.It believes this could transform the behaviour of those who cause the most problems for hospitals and police. It also plans to "end the notion that drinking is an unqualified right by piloting sobriety schemes for those people whose offending is linked to excessive alcohol consumption", says the strategy document." (Click here for the rest of the sorry story.)

Which essentially means the rich are fucking the poor yet again and they won’t even have the courtesy of getting us drunk first. Which in turn reminds me of the old Paddy Ryan song…

I am the man, the very fat man,
That waters the workers' beer
I am the man, the very fat man,
That waters the workers' beer
And what do I care if it makes them ill,
If it makes them terribly queer
I've a car, a yacht, and an aeroplane,
And I waters the workers' beer

Now when I waters the workers' beer,
I puts in strychnine
Some methylated spirits,
And a can of kerosene
Ah, but such a brew so terribly strong,
It would make them terribly queer
So I reaches my hand for the watering-can
And I waters the workers' beer

Now a drop of good beer is good for a man
When he's tired, thirsty and hot
And I sometimes have a drop myself,
From a very special pot
For a strong and healthy working class
Is the thing that I most fear
So I reaches my hand for the watering-can
And I waters the workers' beer

Now ladies fair, beyond compare,
Be you maiden or wife
Spare a thought for such a man
Who leads such a lonely life
For the water rates are frightfully high,
And the meths is terribly dear
And there ain't the profit there used to be
In watering the workers' beer
