This machine kills fascists

One of my favorite bands is Anti-Flag. They have a song called this machine kills fascists. Apparently, they got it from Woodie Guthrie.

aspartame

After reading a newsletter from a health activist website, I got the following few links. I have never been a fan of these sweeteners. They always kind of put me in an unsettled state, then I looked into it and found out that the Bush crime family + Dick Cheney had his fingers in making these kinds of substances Legal + profitable.

Here is the blurb that I read that made me interested in new health risks related to these artificial sweeteners that are known neurotoxins.

"To date, there have only been around 385 human cases identified worldwide (if those identifications are trustworthy, of course), with only 243 (avian flu)deaths. To put the absurdity of this effort into perspective, Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), which researchers believe is heavily associated with aspartame consumption, is a leading cause of death which, according to the CDC, for example, killed 460,000 Americans in 1999 and the numbers keep rising (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5106a3.htm). but Aspartame is not under the gun. Instead, Avian Flu is."

The CDC article did not reference the aspartame at all, it made me wonder.
The newsletter and article did not cite this supposed link with aspartame and SCD, I needed to verify if these people were full of it or not.

A quick google search led me to this article.

It has an interesting list of facts of what aspartame does to the body.

Even more reason for me to poo poo my friends and loved ones not to use this shit.

More dangerous than booze and nicotine.... why would you?

I have found stevia a great natural zero calorie sweetener, and in light of the dangerous nature of these sweeteners, why not just use sugar!

A good article on the history of the Necronomicon

http://www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/2005/11nov/occultnecronomicon.html

Check 'er out. Its a pretty cool article.

Makes mention of K.Grant, P.Levanda, and the Manhattan occult scene of the 70s and 80s.

good Robert Anton Wilson interview videos

They are from '91 or so.

principia discordia

So, I've been reading the pimary Discordian documents lately. They are very funny things. I highly suggest you check out the Principia Discordia. Once you get past the intro and acknowledgements, it is a gem.

If anyone reads it, let me know what you think.

Raves?

I'll be attending my first rave in a couple weeks. It should be a fairly legit one. Its at an American Legion in Cambridge.

What if we took raves and breathwork into churches? This would take advantage of these buildings that are soon to be all but abandoned.

I think I'm going to start shopping around for some beautiful locations and see if I can have some workshops at them. This could solve a few problems with one action. Recycling buildings, low rent, more beauty in the workshop space, good locations all over the place. Overall, I'm pretty excited about this concept.

Now the bigger problem would be, how to get a rave inside of a church. I think that would be quite an amazing experience. The priests would have to be sure no one would break shit, and it would be clean in the morning. More thoughts on this soon. Maybe a Unitarian church would be the best place to start??


**Update** This was canceled because the Legion lied to the organizer about them having a beer license + the ability to have events like this. Oh well.

How to non-violently embarrass your international competition (shhhh. I mean "enemies"), especially if they call themselves a world super power, and you can't.

How to non-violently embarrass your international competition (shhhh. I mean "enemies"), especially if they call themselves a world super power, and you can't.

How to creatively and non-violently redefine life as we know it.

So... Here it is.

First step for the undefined country.

1 Find out what they want.
2 Find out what you want.
3 Fund a "manhattan project" for energy research.
     3.1 Make different teams, with very different projects.
     3.2 Make sure the funding is deep.
     3.3 Don't let existing industry get their greasy fingers into this pot.
4 Have the researchers get lots of credit for their discovery.
5 License this newly developed technology to industry.
6 Make lots of money and gain new power.

If this strategy were carried out by any country that had a solid base of engineers and scientists, this could work.

I would be very happy if the US france UK russia, etc would all have their own, but these nations seem to be pre-occupied with oil/gas wars. If they are involved with the resolution of these issues, it is being done by private industry. IMO this is not enough.

I could see this working wonders in about 3 years tops if the project was launched now. If it takes much longer, I could see a few technologies come out of some small engineering groups that may take up a few niches.

So, step it up please (other countries) for the sake of the world. This could end our need for oil, and
greatly democratize life.

Thoughts?
