Pat Robertson Curses Again

The Man Who Would Be 666

Robertson suggests God smote Sharon

A tip o the blog to Green Knight who posted this story,
with a very interesting link to Pat Robertsons Investment scheme in Israel; Gods Fantasyland and Wonder Park.

It appears that after calling for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, Pat Robertson is saying that Ariel Sharon got his just desserts.

US Christian broadcaster says Sharon's stroke divine retribution

But here he is at the point of death. He was dividing God's land, and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU, the United Nations or United States of America. God said, "This land belongs to me, you better leave it alone."


And its not just Secularists, Libertarians and the Left Wing that is outraged over Robertson. The Conservative blog; Rightwing Nuthouse says;
The modern, secular world no longer has much tolerance for people who claim to talk to God (or, at least have a direct line to what God is saying). They are considered kooks and crazies. If they stand on a street corner in ragged clothes with a sign saying “The End Is Near” we tend to feel pity. But when they go on television dressed in $1,000 suits and claim that illness is divine retribution for being disobedient of God, we are rightly outraged

Robertson is now saying that the biblical G*D of Israel , Yod He Vau He, Jehova, Yaweh, has smote Ariel Sharon, and good on him for doing it. Whoa, there laddie get a grip on yourself. Look in the Mirror and listen to the words coming out of yer mouth.

And it ain't the word of the Lord G*D but of that lil ol devil Pat Robertson the conspiracy monger as
Theologian, the man who would be President of them thar United States of America.

Robertson is engaging in that old black magick of the early Catholic Church. It's called the death liturgy and for a few coins would be said by a priest during mass to curse one's enemies. It is the origin of the Black Mass.
(See H.T. F. Rhodes, The Black Mass, one of the more definitive and objective books on the subject though now sadly out of print. Rhodes was a Forensic Criminologist.). The Catholic Death Mass or Black Mass, Misae Morte, went out of fashion around the late thirteenth century but has reappeared amongst the penatacostal based evangelicals like Robertson. Its known as cursing, and curse magick. That old hoodoo, good old black magick.

Of course Pat is in good company when it comes to the Lord of Israel, G*D who roared with the voice of thunder with smoke and ash smouldering from his nostrils when he called down the death of his enemies and the enemies of the Isrealites. He literally appears in Psalm's as if he were that other guy, you know the one with the horns and tail......

Psalm 18

In my distress I called on Yahweh,
and cried to my God.
He heard my voice out of his temple.
My cry before him came into his ears.
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled.
The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken,
because he was angry.
18:8 Smoke went out of his nostrils.
Consuming fire came out of his mouth.
Coals were kindled by it.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down.
Thick darkness was under his feet.
18:10 He rode on a cherub, and flew.
Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him,
darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,
hailstones and coals of fire.
18:13 Yahweh also thundered in the sky.
The Most High uttered his voice:
hailstones and coals of fire.
18:14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them;
Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
18:15 Then the channels of waters appeared.
The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.


But Pat is supposed to be a preacher of Jesus the pacifist, a preacher of the New Testament. Istead he calls for assassinations and curses leaders of Israel for his own investment profit. He not only is groping back to the old testament G*D but he sure does sound like Anton LeVay.

Of the Nine Satanic Statements:

5. Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!1

Now this makes a lot of sense since Pat is a preacher of the old testament G*D.
Pat wants to be G*D's King on Earth, the Caesar of the New Millineum, the President of the Untied States of Armageddon hastening the last days of the Earth. Scary eh.

So now you have met the Anti-Christ and he is smiling in his Armani suits and beaming his vision of the apocalypse around the world on his tax free church of the TV waves CBN.

Put ol blue eyes on vitrola and sing along with his rendition of That Old Black Magic. Cause that's what Preacher Pat is all about.

In keeping with this, Pat's fondest wish is to witness the Tribulation -- the bloody seven-year cataclysm through which God will restore His kingdom on Earth. It's going to be absolutely spectacular. The Lord will finally manifest His divine wrath against the Sodomites, the Feminists, the Secularists, along with all the other blasphemers. But that just can't happen until everything's exactly right. Jesus is waiting for us to restore some of America's godliness. Once that happens, He can get this Armageddon thing started and then it's party time. Until then, we're stuck in a holding pattern for the duration.

Banishing sinfulness and immorality from the United States is going to be no small task. But once we're done, things are going to be a lot different around here. We'll have a theocracy and all that entails: book burnings, compulsory religious services, forced conversions. Think Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, except without the ridiculous wardrobe. Plus, it will be based on the actual word of God, instead of some pseudo-religious cult.

In 1980, Pat announced that the Tribulation would begin in "the Fall of 1982." Unfortunately, this simply did not happen. In his 1990 book The New Millennium, Robertson proposed that the Tribulation would begin on April 29, 2000. Again, no dice. Things like that can be very disappointing.

Irving Layton RIP

Irving Layton Canada's Sexiest Poet

There Were No Signs

By walking I found out
Where I was going.

By intensely hating, how to love.
By loving, whom and what to love.

By grieving, how to laugh from the belly.

Out of infirmity, I have built strength.
Out of untruth, truth.

From hypocrisy, I wove directness.

Almost now I know who I am.
Almost I have the boldness to be that man.

Another step
And I shall be where I started from.


Irving Layton Canada's greatest beat poet, sexual libertine and libertarian has passed on at the age of 93. Without Layton there would be no Leonard Cohen.

Along with Al Purdy and later Cohen, Layton made up Canada's beat generation of poets and libertines. Anarchists all. While the US had Kerouac, Ginzberg and the other beats we had our own. And Layton and Purdy influenced and were respected by Ferrlingetti and the San Fransisco Beats.
As a grieving Leonard Cohen said yesterday from Montreal, "There was Irving Layton, and then there was the rest of us. He is our greatest poet, our greatest champion of poetry. Alzheimer's could not silence him, and neither will death." Mr. Layton delighted in debate, excess, defying authority and ridiculing cant. And he loved women -- their pursuit, their bodies and their company. He had five wives or partners and many mistresses. One of his former partners, Aviva Layton, said his muse was his real wife. She described his death as a "body blow."

Irving Layton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Layton had become a strong socialist while at high school and joined the Young People's Socialist League. Later, he became active in the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation. Because of this activity he was blacklisted and banned from entering the United States for the next two decades. While he continued to consider himself a Marxist,

Message from Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean, Governor General of Canada, on the death of Irving Layton

    OTTAWA, Jan. 5 /CNW Telbec/ - "Irving Layton was able to touch the depths
of people's souls through his works. His skills with the pen earned him the
Governor General's Literary Award and the Order of Canada, as well as many
other forms of literary recognition around the world. Yet his most precious
legacy lies in those people he has touched and the lives he has changed. Some
have called him a friend, others a colleague, and still others called him
teacher and mentor. To Canadians, though, he will be remembered as a writer
who stood for his principles and who, like a true Canadian, stood up for what
he believed.
He lived his life with a passion and a love that will be sorely missed by
his family, by his friends and by all who admired his works. My husband, Jean-
Daniel Lafond, and I wish to join with all Canadians in expressing our sadness
and condolences on the loss of this great wordsmith and icon of Canadian
literature."

Michaelle Jean




Our National Muse by Judith Fitzgerald; The Toronto Star, 1999
Allow me to tell you a little about Irving Layton, the big guy with the aggressive
ego and impressive credentials I first met behind the
poet
desk at York University.


IRVING LAYTON AT 88: "THE INESCAPABLE LOUSINESS OF GROWING OLD"


LEONARD COHEN
Dear Heather
(Columbia)
US release date: 26 October 2004
UK release date: 25 October 2004

Cohen is obviously returning to his poetic past on the record, something you instantly hear on "Go No More A-Roving", a musical adaptation of the Lord Byron poem of the same name. He also dedicates three songs to three notable Montreal writers; the aforementioned song to Irving Layton, "To a Teacher" to the late A.M. Klein (the lyrics lifted from Cohen's 1961 book The Spice-Box of the Earth), and "Villanelle For Our Time", a haunting performance of a poem by Cohen's McGill University professor F. R. Scott, featuring a somber reading by Cohen, his voice deeper and more sonorous than ever. "Morning Glory" evokes the Beat jazz poetry of the late 1950s, as Cohen describes the transcendent feeling of seeing the sun rise: "No words this time...Is it censorship?" Cohen asks, "No, it's evaporation."

Having honoured the poet in the 1960s, Mr. Cohen eulogized the man 40 years later in Irving and Me at the Hospital, which will be published in May in Mr. Cohen's new collection, Book of Longing, and which is reprinted here with permission from M&S:

Irving and Me At the Hospital

He stood up for Nietzsche

I stood up for Christ

He stood up for victory

I stood up for less

I loved to read his verses

He loved to hear my song

We never had much interest

In who was right or wrong

His boxer's hands were shaking

He struggled with his pipe

Imperial tobacco

Which I helped him light

Irving Layton, a CKUA Memory


Canada's highly regarded poet Irving Layton, died Wednesday in Montreal. He had been in a long term care facility since 2000. The 93-year-old poet was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Layton spent much of his career as a teacher, first at a parochial high school, later at Sir George Williams University and York University where he taught English.

He was also poet-in-residence at the University of Toronto, and it was from his poetic pursuits that his fame arose. He published more than 40 books of poetry and prose in a career that spanned more than five decades.

Poet and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and TV magnate Moses Znaimer were some of his famous students.

His early poetry focused on sex and love, often written in frank language and shocking some critics.

He won acclaim for his first major poem, The Swimmer, in 1944. Layton's star rose rapidly in the 1950s and '60s. He soon became a regular on the CBC-TV. He was named to the Order of Canada in 1976. Layton is known for his rapier wit and ongoing battle against uniformity and Puritanism.

In December of 1985, Irving Layton visited the CKUA Radio studios and recorded this interview with Tony Dillon Davis. The interview was recorded on publication of Layton's memoir Waiting for a Messiah.

Tree Killer Walks Free

We know that early symptoms of sociopathology is the killing and torture of animals.

Now we have a case where an adult has tortured and killed trees. And instead of treating this as a form of sociopathy, the judge let her walk.

Used poison in Stanley Park
Wanted to improve waterfront view
"The public has denounced her conduct much more than the court could," Judge Ellen Gordon said in handing June Matheson, 72, an absolute discharge after she pleaded guilty yesterday to killing the trees to get a better view of English Bay. Matheson admitted to poisoning trees in front of her expensive, third-floor condominium, which were blocking her scenic view near Stanley Park.


Where is the justice. Where is the minimum sentence of at least five years for tree slaughter. For taking a sentient life. Where are the druids and their human sacrifice (capital punishment) when ya need them.

And what does the Green Party have to say about this senseless slaughter. Will Jim Harris come out with a law and order platform in defense of trees! Tree huggers everywhere want to know. Whatcha gonna do Jim?

The Liberals and Conservatives want to ban guns. How about banning pesticides and herbicides which in the wrong hands can cause the death of innocents. I can hear the right wing defenders of private property now; "Herbicides don't kill trees, people kill trees".

War is Peace, Security is Freedom

Matt Welch associate editor at Reason magazine has a new quiz online for Republicans, and in Canada; Conservatives, who claim to be Libertarians.

The Pro-war Libertarian Quiz: How far are you willing to go to win the War on Terror? (January 5)

I look forward to hearing how the Blogging Tory's who support the War in Iraq answer this one. Especially those RightWhingNutBars like Cannucklestan who have all the American patriotic militarist links on their sites. Go ahead answer the quiz.

As Matt say's; My belief, crudely summarized, is not only that you do not need to imitate totalitarians to beat them, but that it doesn't actually help. I'd love to know where my pro-war friends draw the line. I'd love to know.

Personals; Multiplepersonality Blogger looking for others

Lonely, frustrated, multiplepersonality blogger Werner Patels has issued a looney, err lonely hearts message to the blogosphere to join Alberta Avenue, his personal blog which he pretends is an online magazine. Call for more authors

In fact this is rather revealing of Herr Patels who has claimed all the while, since he began publishing AA, that it is a conributor run publication. Implying that all the anonymous posts were by a multitude of bloggers. Of course the only contributors are the multiple personalities of Herr Patels.

AlbertaAvenue - The Voice of Alberta is always looking for additional authors. It would be great if we could find additional writers reflecting the viewpoints of the major political parties in Canada (Tory, Liberal, NDP, Green) as well as the US (Republican, Democrat).

Yes poor Herr Patels is getting tired of writing all of these viewpoints, sans the NDP, by himself.

The journal he calls the Voice of Alberta, vote Conservative Federally, Liberal provincially, and Green all the time, is anything but. It shows that truth in advertising does not exist in the blogosphere. If truth in advertising was applied to Herr Patels he would have to say AA was the voice of a lone politically-schizoid idiot in Calgary.

P.S.
No, don't thank me Herr Patels. I know I have promoted your site with this blog comment and hundreds of my readers will be flocking there soon......NOT.


P.P.S.
Herr Patels rather than post legal threats in the comments section of my blog please have your lawyers contact my lawyers;
Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga and McCormack.

Now then, in re yours of the fifteenth, yours to hand and made to rep, brackets, that we have gone over the ground carefully and we seem to believe, i.e., to wit, e.g., in lieu, that, uh, despite all our precautionary measures which have been involved, uh, we seem to believe that it is hardly necessary for us to proceed unless we, uh, receive an ipso facto that is not negligible at this moment, quotes, unquotes and quotes. Uh. Hoping this finds you, I beg to remain...as of June 9, cordially yours. Regards.

I tell you what you do, Jamison. I tell you what. Make it, uh, make it three windshield wipers and one Hungadunga. They won't all be there when the letter arrives, anyhow.
Jamison: 'Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga...and McCormack.'

Mrs. Rittenhouse: Well!...(Spaulding swings at his head and misses.) Whoa, Captain! Good gracious! Oh, my!
Spaulding: So...you just omitted them, eh? ...You just omitted the body of the letter, that's all. You've just left out the body of the letter, that's all! Yours not to reason why, Jamison! You've left out the body of the letter!...All right, send it that way and tell them the body'll follow.
Jamison: Do you want the body in brackets?
Spaulding: No, it will never get there in brackets. Put it in a box. Put it in a box and mark it 'fragilly'.
Jamison: Mark it what?
Spaulding: Mark it 'fragilly.' F - R - A - G...Look it up, Jamison. It's in the dictionary. Look under 'fragile'. Look under the table if you don't find it there.
Jamison: 'Quotes, unquotes, and quotes.'
Spaulding: That's three quotes?
Jamison: Yes, sir.
Spaulding: Add another quote and make it a gallon. How much is it a gallon, Jamison?
Jamison: 'Regards.'
Spaulding: 'Regards.' That's a fine letter, Jamison. That's an epic. That's dandy. Now I want you to make two carbon copies of that letter and throw the original away. And when you get through with that, throw the carbon copies away. Just send the stamp, airmail. That's all. You may go, Jamison. I may go too.


See:
Gotcha!
Thanks Herr Werner

Labour Abandons the NDP

It's not just Buzz or his economist in residence Jim Stanford that have abandoned the NDP now the House of Labour, the founding members of the New Democratic Party have abandoned endorsement of the party in favour of third party lobbying.


CLC puts issues at forefront:: calls for support of policies, not parties, in federal election [Globe & Mail] 05-Jan-2006


This is not new, they did this during the 2004 election, basing their propaganda campaign around 'issues'. But having seen the negatigve impact Buzz embracing Martin has had we have all been waiting for the CLC to come to the defense of the party they created.

The late launching of their campaign this week and their failure to endorse the NDP and attack strategic voting is shameful. Why have they even bothered. Brother Georgetti and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) should hang their heads in shame.

Labour Launches Its Own Federal Election Campaign [CLC] 05-Jan-2006


What was needed now was a strong push in the labour movement for the NDP not some weak tea vote on policies campaign that one would expect from a Liberal front group like the Council of Canadians. Now a strong attack from Labour on the Liberals and Conservatives was needed. And it ain't happening. This makes the CLC irrelevant as well as ineffecutal as a political force in this election.

They sound exactly like Buzz and the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) who support the Liberals. An low and behold behind their 'issues' campaign is the truth. Brother Georgetti has abandoned the NDP for the Liberals.

Labour's minority report on the election [24 Hours Vancouver] 05-Jan-2006

A major Canadian labour leader is crossing his fingers for another minority government in the next election.

"We think minority governments work better than majority governments," said Canadian Labour Congress president Ken Georgetti yesterday. "We've seen the results and we're quite happy with them."

Georgetti said the last minority government was better for labour, passing legislation that protected workers' pay if their employers went bankrupt. There was also more money for training and education.

While Georgetti claims to still support the NDP so does Buzz and they sound like Tweedledee and Tweedledum when it comes to the Liberals.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) an affiliate in the CLC at least has taken the bull by the horns and done the right thing.
The best “strategic vote” is for the NDP [CUPE] 05-Jan-2006

What had always made Canada different from the U.S. was our labour movement was the source of Canada's Labour and Socialist parties.Through out the thirties till the red scare of the fifties radical unions, were aligned with the Communist Party and the One Big Union formed by the Socialist Party of Canada. In the fifties the divided labour movement in Canada came together as one federated body the CLC and went on to merge with the CCF to create the NDP.

In the U.S. the AFL/CIO historically followed Samuel Gompers dictum of rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies. And would not be until the 1960's that they aligned with the Democrats. An independent labour party never existed under the auspices of the AFL/CIO though the Socialist Party of the USA was a power house under Eugene Debs at the begining of last century.

Today the CLC has reverted, as has Buzz and the CAW to Gomperism. And its all over jobs in the Southern Ontario Rust belt. Auto and Steel jobs. Screw the rest of Canada, screw the NDP, screw Quebec, its all about Ontario. The CLC should give up any pretence to being a national federation, and change its name to the Ontario Labour Congress. And the CAW should change their name to the Ontario Autoworkers Union.

Hot: Endorsements. NDP candidate Peggy Nash, whose boss, Buzz Hargrove, keeps trying to hug Paul Martin when labour union bosses traditionally hug NDP leaders, is doing just fine without him. Ms. Nash, who is running against Liberal incumbent Sarmite Bulte in the Toronto riding of Parkdale-High Park, recently received an endorsement from Stephen Lewis, the former Ontario NDP leader and former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations, who is now involved in fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa. Meanwhile, CAW chief economist Jim Stanford is endorsing Greig Mordue, the Liberal candidate in Oxford, a Southwestern Ontario riding. Mr. Mordue is the government affairs official for Toyota, which the last time we checked, was a Japanese car manufacturer. Mr. Mordue is running against Conservative incumbent Dave MacKenzie. Of course, Toyota just broke ground on its new plant in Woodstock, which is part of the Oxford riding.
And Toytoa is one of the companies NOT unionized by CAW, along with Honda. So go figure why such a high profile labour fakir like Stanford would support this particular Liberal. A foot in the door for the CAW to unionize the number one car maker in the world as the number one car maker in the U.S., GM sheds jobs as it tanks in the world market. Opportunism as usual in the world of bread and butter business unionism. Once upon a time the CAW and other large industrial unions claimed to be the Left in Canada, and the Left in the union movement.

Today they show themselves for what they are, shameless business unions out for the good of their own members.Willing to sacrifice class struggle for a bowl of pottage.

Conservatives Hidden Agenda Exposed

That smiling face of the Harper, looking like a Prime Minister, looking acceptable to Joe and Janey Canuck, sounding well reasonable, is a slick groomed media image. The real Harper and the real right wing Conservatives will re-appear after the election. Unlike last election, no right wing Randy Whites will be allowed to upset the Conservative election apple cart. Nope. A pax silensius has been reached with the party's extreme right wing. They will shut up for now, biding their time till the Conservatives win the election, they hope, and then the cat will be out of the bag.

Elect Conservatives, then talk about issues: social conservatives

A traditional definition of marriage and abortion weren't mentioned, but social conservative groups that consider those to be important issues say they're satisfied with the direction the party is taking in its effort to form the next government. "They have to talk this way to get elected," Link Byfield, chairman of the Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy, said. "I think a lot of conservatives honestly agree with that."Hermina Dykxhoorn, president of the Alberta Federation of Women United for Families, says no main stream party is talking about the issues she considers most important, such as abortion and same-sex marriage. But she says she's willing to not talk about those issues during the election if it means electing a Conservative government.


These are the same folks from Alberta that support Firewall Alberta, in the case of Link Byfield and his ilk and a refederation of Canada based on Harpers decentralized Canada from Sea to Sea. See Alberta Seperatism Not Quite Stamped Out

AFWUF ( pronounced Aff woof)
opposes unions, opposes equal pay for equal work, and opposes a womans right to choose publicly funded daycare or abortion.See Right to Life = Right To Work

They are aligned with Real Women of Canada and Life Canada, and have been part of the Byfield right wing front groups. See It's A Family Thing

This CBC item had the Blogging Tory's all a flutter crying foul.

But then good old Elsie Wayne, the mouth that roared from New Brunswick, let the cat out of the bag in CTV interview with Mike Duffy. She has teamed up with Pat O'Brian former Liberal and his anti-gay lobby which is quietly lobbying Conservative MP's and mobilizing the right wing vote in Ontario against the Liberals and NDP.

Elsie Wayne, Former Conservative MP

CTV Wed. Jan. 4 2006 9:39 PM ET

Without the party's approval, former Conservative MP Elsie Wayne wants to bring the same-sex marriage debate back to the forefront of the election campaign.

And the same cretinous right wingers populate this front group too, including Real Women Canada, Campaign Life, its the Byfield gang and their pals.

Yep the Tory's have a hidden agenda always have always will, if they allow free votes for Same Sex Marriage they will allow free votes on abortion and the death penalty, regardless of what Harper says now. If they become the government it will be open season on human rights as private members bills originate from the Whipless backbenches of the Torys.

A Simple Question Baffles Harper, Again



Ask the Harper a straight question or a simple question, he sputters, stammers, skates around it in his answer. Like Do You Love Canada, or Will you swear on the bible to keep your promises. He sputters, asks for the question to be repeated, hums, haws and then doesn't answer it.

He reminds me of Marvin the manic depressive Robot
with a brain the size of a planet from Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe.

The other day in Quebec
he was asked if he got his prop money from a local cash machine by a clever and witty Quebecois reporter. Obviously too clever by a mile, Harper asked him to repeat the question then blathered on about a supporter loaned them the money, and he had to return it.....Not sure what that meant.

Today after announcing the return of the lash, full term imprisonment and throwing away the key for gun crimes....ok sorry, the lash comment was by some Tory nutbar on the Rutherford show.......

A reporter asked him if he would still register handguns since Harper declared he was going to eliminate the gun registry....And Harper replied he was going to have longer sentences for gun crimes. A simple yes or no just does not come easily off his lips.

And then there was this item from the Globe and Mail.

Stephen Harper meets Daniel Cook

Daniel Cook is eight years old and a television star with his own show, This is Daniel Cook, broadcast on Treehouse TV and the Disney Channel in the United States. On his show, he takes on an adult job or task and interprets it through his young eyes.

He's an inquisitive little guy. Well, creative minds at CTV Newsnet thought Daniel might be able to help them with the election campaign, and so they hired him to be a regular correspondent on Newsnet's Countdown with Mike Duffy.

Yesterday, the red-headed newsman was on the tour with Stephen Harper (Daniel brought his Dad, Murray, along as his chaperone). And Daniel landed his first exclusive with the Tory Leader, conducted on the Harper campaign bus. The diminutive journalist was able to stump Mr. Harper when he asked him who he would vote for if he weren't running.

Mr. Harper told him he'd rather "jump off a tall building."

Huh? See what I mean he just can't answer a simple question.

"Oh dear I have a brain the size of a planet and I am so depressed......"
Marvin the Robot.
