THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15. The IRS has seized the Indianapolis Baptist Temple. This comes in the wake of Bush saying that the US government will now make ties with religious groups.

ADD: I can’t remember the last time the feds seized a church. Oh yeah, Waco. Anyway, I’m not a churchgoer, and I don’t go at this issue from the viewpoint of a religionist. The issue is not taxes here, either. The Church apparently owes no taxes.

ADD: The IRS is steamed that the church allows its ministers to pay their own taxes, and doesn’t withhold part of salary for that purpose.

ADD: That’s it? Apparently so. For that violation, the government is willing to use force and render a church a seized asset.

ADD: The church did do one thing. In 1986, it stopped being a 501c3 non-profit organization, and it became…just a church. I think that is the key. The feds get nervous when someone says he is neither profit nor non-profit. The feds believe either of these two categories makes you owned by them. Makes you theirs. See, if you’re not one category or the other…that makes you smell like an independent entity, almost like your own country.

ADD: Suppose there was an inch square of land somewhere in Dakota that magically was not owned by anyone or anything. That could infect consciousness itself, right? Like a disease of sheer independence. And who knows what THAT would bring?

ADD: Story today also ran on the Mother Jones wire about a former raid on Lakota Indian territory by the feds. They destroyed a whole commercial crop of industrial grade hemp. Lakotas were heading toward economic independence. Their hemp isn’t pot. It has 1% THC, instead of the high THC content of smokable pot. But industrial grade hemp, used to make clothes or wallboard or rope or a million other things, is illegal to grow in the US.

ADD: Some people just wake up in the morning hating freedom. It smells like death to them. And they’re right. It would be death. To their Enterprise. No surprise, the pol left and the pol right in Washington did NOTHING to protest that seizure on Lakota land. Gutless to very end when it comes to that strange thing called independence.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15. CNN has to run a raft of health stories every day, so they search for something to fill space. Today, it’s Camilio Gomez, a doc from the U of Alabama, and his very aggressive strategies for dealing with stroke. These include cooling down the patient’s body slightly, and also implanting coils in the brain.

ADD: Hello? Somebody tell Dr. Gomez to talk to Dr. Paul Harch out of Louisiana State U. Harch has seen some astounding results with the use of hyperbaric oxygen administered in a standard chamber. This form of medicine has been around for a long time. If Gomez really wants to do something….check out hyperbaric. Does it work in all cases? No.

ADD: Does it work? Yes. Did anyone from CNN offer even an anecdote about Gomez’s results? Not unless the version of the story I just read was cut off prematurely.

ADD: Of course, hyperbaric can be dangerous to the health of the medical cartel. It’s dirt cheap to deliver (unless the providers gouge the patient, which they tend to do in hospitals and some offices) and no patents are available. Because it’s oxygen.

ADD: Sidebar. Drinking water has been reported to cure some infections too, but that’s a big no-no, unless one of the big chem companies decides to genetically engineer the water and patent it like engineered corn. Coming to your supermarket soon.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15. Language alert. I have been seeing stories recently attacking vaccine-activists who point out the dangers of these compounds. One strategy? Explain why these activists are carrying out their “misguided efforts.”

ADD: It usually goes this way: “Parents who believe their children have been hurt by vaccines are becoming activists.” Of course the key word is “believe.” Rather than “saw” or “know” or “observed.”

ADD: Here’s a prediction, and you can take it to the bank. Somewhere down the line, the medical boys will invent a disorder which is characterized by “a compulsion to criticize successful medical treatment.” It will have a half-cocked name, and it will be floated out there. There will be remedies for it, and they will be psychiatric drugs.

ADD: There is of course a real disorder buried in all this. It is the maniacal aim to discredit all opponents of mainstream medicine. I hereby label this disorder Terminal Corruption of the Mind, Soul and Heart (TCMSH). There is no treatment for it. It can only be cured by the onset of a slight fraction of morality in the face of white-hot abominable arrogance.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15. Okay, get ready for a rant. Rumors have been circulating for awhile about two feature films in production, or about to go into production–on the subject of cancer. One, directed by Oliver Stone (he could use something like this after his really silly goofy molasses film on pro football, Any Given Sunday, which was a cartoon of a cartoon of the NFL). The other, about a young doctor who discovers a cheap cure for cancer, and the ensuing medical cartel pressure to stop it from being made available.

ADD: Some years ago, I wrote a short book which was a long poem called Kill the Monster. It was about a man who finds a blue herb that cures all disease, and his capture by the establishment, and the beginning of an attempt to control his mind.

ADD: Here and there in TV land we see attempts to mount shows which mirror reality but then go beyond that and reveal how stultifying societal problems can actually be solved.

ADD: West Wing is one of those. Last season on the show, there was an episode in which Martin Sheen, the prez, decides it’s time to be honest with the American people and throw caution and polls and surveys and doublespeak to the four winds. His people are inspired and energized in a quick second…and the whole show seems about to take off into a new dimension.

ADD: Regardless of whether one agrees with the Prez’s agenda, going for honesty would have been quite something to see played out over several seasons. But no…all that vanished and the show now deals with the usual scheming and compromising to attain limited goals and avoid crushing defeats by the opposition party. Amid smarmy yuppified dialogue.

ADD: The District, starring Craig Nelson as the new chief of police in Washington DC, also began as an attempt by a driven cop to end crime in the capitol. A fascinating idea–but it too has ended up in soap opera territory. A complete mess and a waste of a terrific actor.

ADD: A simple question. Why not actually show on TV the triumph of justice or honesty in an otherwise crumbling world of petty idiots who run things?

ADD: Why the hell not? Believe me, I know and you know the answer to that rhetorical question. But anyway…how about a show that features a school set up by parents who are sick of the public school system run by bureaucrats? A school that really educates kids to see through the lies perpetuated by the media, etc., etc., a school that does more than raise whitebread kids? Why not?

ADD: How about unleashing Nelson on The District so that he actually revolutionizes the whole damn city? How about a show that features a Congressman who exposes his colleagues as captive pawns all the way to the bone? How about a show that stars a healing doctor who takes on, with the support of his patients, the whole money-grubbing death machine of pharmaceutical medicine….and wins.

ADD: Would these be fantasies? Was Star Trek a fantasy? So what?

ADD: How about a PI lawyer who takes down, over three seasons, an entire criminal transnational chemical giant? How about a soldier who goes up against the Pentagon and uncovers the real truth behind Gulf War Illness, and obtains the support of thousands of US Army guinea pigs who suddenly realize they have been used in cruel and unusual experiments?

ADD: How about a show called Saving Private Ryan, in which Ryan turns out to be a rebel who discovers that major American slime bigwigs are supporting Nazi Germany behind the scenes and thereby killing US troops by the thousands? (See yesterday’s piece on ITT)

ADD: How about a show called The Fugitive, in which a doctor is being pursued by a family whose son the arrogant doctor killed with a raft of FDA-approved toxic drugs?

ADD: How about a show in which a relentless US prosecutor discovers and exposes massive computer election fraud in presidential elections, and blames rightly both parties and the shadowy people behind them?

ADD: How about a show called Depopulation, which reveals week by week the strategies of the intell and med cartels who use vaccines and other drugs to destroy a third of Africa?

ADD: How about a show called The Martians, in which a band of ETs from the red planet arrive on Earth and target every brand of organized corrupt institution for elimination through undeniable exposure of their projects and plans?

ADD: How about a show about a TV network which suddenly, after drinking some kind of weird water in all water coolers, decides to be merciless and tell the truth and fire their million-dollar anchors who are strangely resistant to the water?

ADD: How about a Serpico who actually wins and then becomes mayor of NY and then doesn’t sell out? How about Monica, a series in which a young White House intern discovers she has been set up by the CIA to scandalize a president–so that the Prez is never investigated again for his much more serious crimes, some of which are linked to the CIA, which has been more or less running said Prez as its personal man on the Washington scene?

ADD: How about a show called JFK, which, week after shattering week, traces the multitudinous layers of conspiracy behind the assassination?

ADD: I’ll tell you this. If the TV networks really cared about ratings, they could launch any one of these shows into the galaxy of super numbers. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it, and even the networks, with a little reflection, know it. They have no BALLS. No matter how much Viagra they’re ingesting.

ADD: How about a weekly series on CNBC called Market BS, featuring a silver-haired fox who does BS stock advice…and then discovers the whole game is rigged from top to bottom, sells his BMW, sells his house in Scarsdale, and with the help of a few internet geniuses begins to publish the truth…causing the market to implode. How about a show on the Bloomberg channel called Fed Reserve, in which six gold bugs blackmail half the banks in NY with a threat to publish secret documents revealing that the Fed Reserve is actually a private consortium and not part of the government…the gold bugs record the blackmail deal on video and then play it on 5000 websites on a Thursday afternoon…causing the Fed Reserve to sink like a stone into the muck of NY sewers.

ADD: How about a show called Air Force Won, in which an old Pentagon hand gathers up a hundred military retirees and, in the first episode, holds a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building, during which the 100 guys expound on buried government documents relating to a UFO coverup? The 100 obtain protection from other ex-military guys all over the US…and from several major gangs who have incidentally decided to give up drug dealing and have opted for massive urban organic farming in inner cities all over America and have opted for real private schools in those inner cities which actually teach something and have opted for funding real small businesses and for supporting thousands of inner city artists…the urban farms are attacked by CIA backed chemical spraying, of course, because real progress in the inner cities is a no-no….and renegade Air Force choppers begin to patrol the air space above those farms and gardens to protect them…

ADD: How about a show called The Racists, which reveals that both sides in this set-up conflict are funded by cold-blooded and very rich lunatics who want to perpetuate violence?

ADD: How about ALL OF THE ABOVE SHOWS ON YOUR TV SCREEN EVERY NIGHT?

ADD: How about The Young and the Restless, in which Victor Newman is actually a member of the inner core of the cartels who run this planet? Victor and his apple-pie son, Nick, along with wife Nicki, and daughter Victoria—-the Vic and Nick show—are trying to take over four African countries, and the going gets tough when Carter, the counter-man at Nick’s coffee house, discovers secret memos outlining a plan to decimate Africa with a new vaccine against AIDS.

ADD: Well, how about it?

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15. Regular readers have seen pieces on the use of tax dollars by governments to invest their way into massive hidden profits. Take a tax dollar, invest a tax dollar, make a profit and hide it and cry poor. That kind of thing. May be one of the biggest scandals in the country.

ADD: Here is just one angle on it. Do you or your friends belong to a pension fund or a retirement fund run by a local, state, or national government? Has a part of your salary been going into that fund?

ADD: Well, I want you to think about a few things and then, God forbid, DO a few things. Think about this. Where does the pension fund get its money? First of all, from you. From others with government jobs. Okay, then what do they do with all that $$? They invest it, right?

ADD: Come on, admit it. The fund INVESTS that money. They put it someplace where it will hopefully make more money. So your job is to find out where your fund puts its money. Exactly where. After all, as a contributor, you have that right to know, don’t you? This isn’t NATIONAL SECURITY, is it?

ADD: Just ask to see a list of investments. Interest-bearing accounts, bonds, stocks, real estate projects…whatever they are, ask to see the whole list. If they deny you access, you are looking at criminal behavior. If I privately invest in a mutual fund through my broker, and then I demand to know where the fund is putting my money…I can find out, right?

ADD: You are actually working for the entity (the government) which is investing that money. You really have a right to know.

ADD: Once you have the complete list of investments, then you also want a complete accounting of all monies (profits) realized from those investments–to the penny–over the last few years. Then you want to know EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF THOSE PROFITS WERE GIVEN TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO PUT $$ INTO THE FUND, AND HOW MUCH WAS KEPT FOR OTHER USES.

ADD: The other uses will be illegal. Because a government of any kind was never organized to make profit. A government cannot make profit. That would be illegal.

ADD: Am I saying finding out all this information will be a piece of cake? No. If you’re a robot will you do it? No. Is it all right to not be a robot? Yes.

ADD: Of course, the pension fund will have overhead, and some $$ will go to running the fund. But not too much. Check around, get curious, and send me the results. Details.

ADD: Remember the scandals that plagued the Teamster Union pension fund? Money was secretly loaned out to criminals. Gosh o gee.
