State of the UNiun

I didn't really feel like listening to Bush's State of the Union speech, so I figured I'd just give it to us all myself.

All is well here captain.

Nothing to worry about at all.

Economy? Check.

Nuclear Weapons? Check.

Privatized racket on about everything, even shitty healthcare? Check.

Roger Airforce One. Come in. I'm wearing my flight suit. I've got my bible in the glove compartment and a whole shit load of Cocaine coming my way from Columbia, cause the Apocalypse is coming motherfucker. Dicky Cheney told me last night over S&M, and i'm going out in style. Little Baby Bush style!! YEEFUCKING HAW from your sneaky, greedy, fucking asshole of a president. Fuck you little people, it doesn't even matter what color you are anymore, you just ain't us, so you get fucked.

How do you like this 150 billion dollar stimulus package I'm about to shove up your ass? We're going to cut the corporate tax rate and probably put some more Coca-cola machines in our little greedhead laboratories; I mean schools. How does that feel America?

One more year to deliver the Apocalypse motherfuckers, while i'm still up here flying this fun little spaceship with my pathetic patriarchal god.

State of the Union, Hah. Don't make me laugh. I laugh like a monkey.

Wisdom from Zarathustra

In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route thou must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken to should be big and tall.
The atmosphere rare and pure, danger near and the spirit full of joyful wickedness: thus are things well matched.
I want to have goblins about me, for I am courageous. The courage which scareth away ghosts, createth for itself goblins--it wanteth to laugh.
I no longer feel in common with you; the very cloud which I see beneath me, the blackness and heaviness at which I laugh--that is your thundercloud.
Ye look aloft when ye long for exaltation; and I downward because I am exalted.
Who among you can at the same time laugh and be exalted?
He who climbeth on the highest mountains, laugheth at all tragic plays and tragic realities.
Courageous, unconcerned, scornful, coercive--so wisdom wisheth us; she is a woman, and ever loveth only a warrior.
Ye tell me, "Life is hard to bear." But for what purpose should ye have your pride in the morning and your resignation in the evening?
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
What have we in common with the rose-bud, which trembleth because a drop of dew hath formed upon it?
It is true we love life; not because we are wont to live, but because we are want to love.
There is always some madness in love. But there is always, also, some method in madness.
And to me also, who appreciate life, the butterflies, and soapbubbles, and whatever is like them amongst us, seem most to enjoy happiness.
To see these light, foolish, pretty, lively little sprites flit about--that moveth Zarathustra to tears and songs.
I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance.
And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity--through him all things fall.
Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!
I learned to walk; since then have I let myself run. I learned to fly; since then I do not need pushing in order to move from a spot.
Now am I light, now do I fly; now do I see myself under myself. Now there danceth a God in me.--

Thus spake Zarathustra.
[from pg. 24, Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche]

In Today's News

I'd like to welcome all the X-Gamers to Aspen. The news looks bad lately, outside of this little mountain paradise. It's getting beyond terrible. Now that we've lost the potential entertainment that Heath Ledger might have brought us, will we suddenly find ourselves enlightened? I'm sitting in my kitchen den in the mountains. Outside it's cold. Snow is high white in the moonlight.

The world has gone to hell, but you'd be hard pressed to notice skiing Ajax. One need look no further than Google news though. It's chaos in the Middle East. The global markets are tumbling in response to the US financial crisis. Our government is proliferating weapons of mass destruction, we are going to put bombs in space, nobody seems to really care. The citizenry just keeps paying the bills. We just keep greeding along, consuming as we go.

I'm up here on the mountaintop, trying to start a business, getting ready to pay this government more so I can be a "law abiding citizen." I met with a lady from a payroll company today. I got to learn that for every dollar the business pays an employee, both the business and the employee pay a portion to Uncle Sam. Let me make that clearer. I get to pay the government for the privilege of paying an employee, who then has to pay for his right to get paid. Now if we were getting a little something in return, like health care, a law-abiding government, or some damn rights around here, I wouldn't have such a hard time with this suck leech of a federal government; but we are not getting a legitimate product for our money. We are being robbed and criminalized at once. More than fifty percent of the money our government collects from us goes to this military budget. We have a higher percentage of our population incarcerated than any other Nation on earth.

Wake up people, we live in a police state. Just look how armed you are compared with how armed the military and the police are. Who is being protected? Do you really feel safe? Here we are in the richest country on earth, and we don't even have universal health care. Yet we just keep paying these bloody bills for our criminal government. We just keep gorging at this all you can eat buffet, as our souls and our future wastes away? I'm just going to be honest. I fear my government.

Thomas Jefferson warned us. He said: "when the government fears the people, there is liberty. When people fear their government, there is treason."

Ski Conscious out there.

Letter From 父亲 Krishna Mutter 母亲

My children, why do you remain in the darkness? You are angels. You are matter. If you long to see miracles, look around. Can you see airplanes and helicopters flying through the sky? Are you speaking across continents with wireless communication devices? Are you living in something you can’t believe is true? Do you feel alone, disconnected, and unfulfilled? Have you spent your life being taught to be someone other than yourself?

What you have been taught to see as normal is nothing of the sort.

We have forgotten our true nature, but the truth is still with us. We have inherited from our ancestors everything we need, all the knowledge and information, and all the tools, to rise and become the angels that we are. We are one. We are life. We are matter and we are energy. This is our nature.

Energy is light, and matter is meaningless without it, just as energy has no purpose without matter. The earth may as well not be here without the sun. All would be darkness with no perceiver to observe. Why do you think that the earth revolves around the sun? Because it is what keeps it alive? The earth revolves around the sun and goes on living, and therefore we are alive. The interaction of the earth and the sun, two forces, one light and one dark matter, covered in lots of water, is the reason for life. Simple, no need for understanding what a nucleon is. What is the meaning of life? One equation: light plus matter.

The meaning of consciousness is another question entirely, but i’m sure we’ll get to it some day.

So the earth revolves around the sun, and the sun just gives consistent light, all the time, endlessly, as long as we keep hooping around it, slowly rotating in such a way that land and sea, on all the surface of the Mothership, and all her inhabitants, get Light. Maybe father sun shines so nicely on us because we are the only ones in the universe who seem to notice.

Vater and mutter, the German roots of the English words for father and mother reveal more about what we already knew. We like to think we know more than we’ve ever known before, which is true, but it is also true that we know less. It is difficult to know too many things at once.

Mother, mutter, matter, father, vater; begin to picture a taijitu, the traditional symbol for yin and yang. Even more interesting is the German word for matter, angelegenheit. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not an angel, nor that you are a fallen angel. You just may not have woken up yet. We are angelegenheit. We are creatures of the Light. Much of our language also comes from the Greeks. Hellas means the Light. It’s time we start forgetting much of what we’ve learned because it is no longer serving us. It’s time to start learning what we’ve been taught to ignore: The Truth.

There is a new morning coming, each day, each breath, each moment. NOW.

We have a Mother and a Father. Holy Mother and Holy Sun.

Hill Hill The Dangerous Fruit

Hillary is a dangerous fruit. Do not be fooled by the whistles and the bells. Do not be distracted by the well dressed Mormon, with his slicked back hair, or the empty war hero shell of that pasty white old man, or by Hillary's new found voice. Do not be distracted. Hillary Clinton whined like a little school girl whose mommy wouldn't buy her a pair of earrings and suddenly she won the New Hampshire primary. Sure it's hard. It must be damn hard getting up every morning and being so full of shit.

This woman is a bag of nothingness capped with a little total sell out. If the media had a brain it would have chosen, as it has, Hillary as it's choicest candidate because she is the most likely of any possible Democratic candidate (Hugo Chavez excluded) to LOSE the 2008 Presidential election. You could run a Republican Mickey Mouse against her and he would have a hard time losing to THE HILL. Hillary would be the Democrats biggest mistake since Dukakis, but you wouldn't know that watching the news. She has been the one to beat in the primaries.

Corporations prefer to have Republicans in the White House. The mainstream media is owned by corporations. 1+1, here we go. For a second, when Obama defeated her in Iowa, they thought the game was up, and the reporters were ready to report it. For a second the truth was out. It just slipped out, but it was as if everybody in the Media already knew. The headline was pretty simple, Hillary Can't Win. Obama was the obvious winner over her, just like any of the Republicans would be. But then the spin machine went to work, and New Hampshire watched, and the next thing anyone knew, we were convinced Hillary had a beating heart behind that wooden exterior. Maybe she does, but I assure you it is not the heart of a good president. Also, it is irrelevant, because in this fear riddled Nation she has about as much chance of defeating McCain, Romney, or Giuliani as Barbara Walters does. Let's not forget that nearly 50% of the country has already decided that they would not vote for her. That does not bode well for her electability.

But anyways, we are back to square one yet again. Will somebody please wake up the Democratic party and get people the memo. Hillary is a terrible candidate. Primary voters beware. Do not be fooled. Do not be Hillwinked. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for another Republican president.

Well how bout that?

This is my 100th post! Wow. I'm stressed out and getting desperate in the midst of a series of snowstorms down here on Red Butte Drive. They don't stop, there is little sunshine or blue-sky, and it's beginning to make me feel insane. The skiing has been deep and grand, and the snow is piling up like the bullshit in Washington.

I can't seem to get away from current events, and this heavy snow up here in paradise is making me ever more aware of a dark sense of impending doom for my country. If only our founding fathers were here now to see what has come of their grand visions for the manifest destiny of this continent. They would all be disgusted. Washington and Adams would quickly grasp the failure of their ideas about a strong National Government. These two, smart men both of them, would notice, upon returning to this once pristine and beautiful land, that it had been raped, and that the Federal Government, which they had insisted was so important to unify the country and prevent chaos amongst free states , was chiefly responsible for terror at home and around the world and assorted crimes against humanity and the rule of law. Washington would have realized that Adams was a greedhead and would have been pissed that he'd been fooled by Adams false humility and calm, calculating, demeanor. Adams would look at Dick Cheney and see a chilling resemblance to himself. Jefferson, if armed, would immediately shoot Adams, probably in front of a Wal-Mart, and then he would find some hippies, give them guns, and start another revolution.

These men, were they here today, would be absolutely astounded at the absolute failure of the free-market experiment. They would be astounded at the inequity and human suffering it has allowed, indeed spawned, in the name of "freedom." They would probably feel bad, but they would be able to forgive themselves because they did not know what they were creating. Had they known what their creation would become, they would have gone the way of Canada or Australia, and would not have declared themselves independent of England when they did.

They would watch the 2008 campaign and they would say, in regard to the importance of an independent media and an educated and skilled population, "We told you so." They would be most of all shocked by the idiocy of the general population, noticing, for example, that in order for Hillary Clinton to have a surprise win in the New Hampshire Primary, all she had to do was whimper like a weak little school girl who's mommy wouldn't get her a new pair of ear rings, and then let the media run with it. God help the opponents of the candidate the media has chosen as the best for ratings.

More on Roger Clemens to come.

Hingis Back in the News

One could only look at world sport, and ignore all the foolish war, murder, oppression, injustice, bad leadership, and still get a pretty good idea of how stupid the civilized world is. Ms. Hingis, a successful tennis star who has a terribly fantastic ass, has been banned from the sport for two years and is going to be forced to forfeit some of her profits, all because she tested positive for cocaine.

I have one question. Was she doing cocaine while she was playing her match? If so, I don't really see how that is much of an advantage. I mean, I'm not a cocaine user myself, but from what I understand, you don't stay high that long, and from what I can tell from the coked up people I run into generally here in Aspen, who frantically and savagely scan the room while they blabber meaninglessly in the most serious tones, it's not the best for the attention span either. What, was she running to the service line every 20 or 30 minutes to do a bump?

I just think this is stupid madness. All these sports people getting in trouble for doing drugs is absolutely retarded. I mean listen, lawyers don't get tested for drugs. Mayors, nor Congressmen, nor the President of the United States have to submit to Urine Samples. So who the hell are we to test these athletes we pay to beat the hell out of their bodies for our entertainment, so we can be distracted from the massively insane stupidity we are constantly surrounded by in this so called "civilization"? Is it me folks, or are we living in crazy land?

We are in a criminal war in Iraq right now, killing innocent people, making the world a more dangerous place every day with our selfish Greedhead ways. Our president is violently, and with destructive precision, sucking oil out of every crevice he can find in the wild nature of our earth like a Jonesing fiend. We are preparing to put nuclear weapons in space, and giant warheads which can strike any target on earth in a matter of two hours or less. Bye bye. American Airlines planes are about to be retrofitted with weapons systems (I swear to God I heard this one today on NPR).

So where do we get off telling anyone what they can and can't put in their bodies? I myself am pretty cautious about what I put in my body. I try to keep it to the sacred herb and the sacred spirit, and the occasional benzodiazapine doesn't hurt, but come on People. Get real. We are a criminal Nation, The People are the last ones who should be getting punished right now for anything less than murder, rape, robbery, and assault, because those are the crimes our government is guilty of. It's the people in power who should be on the stand.

There is a reason they try to keep us afraid.

Iowa

Alright. Obama won in Iowa. Thank god for those of us who don't want to see another corprepublicanreligiouscat as our next president. But Huckabee also won, which means that the Big Dumb God is still talking loudly. The newer, even dumber, Mormon God had not caught up, thanks be to Allah.

So we have Barack Obama, whose last name rhymes with Osama, as our hope. This might sound crazy, but this inexperienced black man, who has yet to prove his jive talking capabilities, is our best hope. Hillary Clinton would lose to a republican Mickey Mouse, and it would be a loss that wouldn't concern me too much, because that woman scares me about as much as anyone else.

And so we have Obama. This guy, as far as I can tell, is the least dangerous of all the characters on the miserable plate we are looking at. He actually gives me some hope.

Slightly optimistic in 2008,

In the World of Stupid

Pakistan is about to blow up, Aspen gets more fur coats every day this time of year, and Lindsey Lohan, it turns out, fell off the wagon. Who cares? Lindsey is probably better off drinking, in so many cases, a drunk drinker is far better than a sober one. Just look at our Commander in Chief if you want evidence. The paparazzi is out of control, this idea of individual freedom is out of control. People have never been so spoiled nor miserable in all of history. I bet the suicide rate during the black plague paled in comparison to the one in America today.

Lindsey should drink, she's young, immature, blond, and famous, drugs and alcohol will likely make her miserable life, of fame, stupid wealth, selfishness, and self-entitlement, a bit shorter. As it should be. Our president, and most of the other world leaders, should go back to partying and leave the leadership of the world to intellectuals and people who know how to use their brains for more than just idiotic power-mongering which puts the ownership of the world in the hands of an elite class of fantastically unenlightened people who seem to care for nothing more than getting richer, even at the expense of the future of the human race.

Feeling optimistic.

The Goose.
