12:07 am - Gershom Scholem
is a good place to begin studying these angles of the world.
And at times like this I want to journey back to Israel, my "home" or so they say and go wear my scarf over my head and live in the OLD CITY of Jerusalem with the rest of the Orthodox and Hasidics who stand before the cannons to stop the war and want to bring America's weapons to Goodwill to donate to our sense of charity. :/
Everyone seeks to be Jacob/Israel there... but I doubt their lifestyle would allow me to keep a Saab.

11:49 pm - ISRAEL RIOT OF INFORMATION ACT
I am Jewish. I come from a long line of Jewishness, past lives and heritage. I spent most of my 26 years studying Judaism, Jewishness, Israel, the Torah, AND MOST OF ALL ZIONISM. And out of the trick backwards Hegelian logic of Zionism lied some pretty awful truths about our current world, about our state of politics, about the last real emergence of a nation-state -- the horror and killing in the 20th century all to achieve a legal system bound in holy land. Whatever.
But what kills me is when the word the mention of ISRAEL is brought up... and everyone gets quiet and everyone gets their freak on and riots of silence break out, riots of QUELLING break out or riots of partisanship and blame and judgement.
And not that I feel I have the right to be continually expressive of Israel because I'm jewish but I feel their are such HUGE TRUTHS within the Israeli situation that draw a big map of the worlds conflicts from finance to politics to even world hunger. And maybe I need to write about this so when people say ISRAEL they can say it and not get their freak on, but understand it not merely as such a conflict, a nation, a viscious persecutor of human rights to uphold their own past forsaken human rights, as US's financial obligation and where all our super-duper weapons go. Israel is the holder of our darkness and our light...
and here I go off the deep end of analysis... but in Old Testament, Jacob is renamed ISRAEL. Why did this happen? Because JACOB WOKE THE FUCK UP OR PARTIALLY DID. HE STOPPED BEING A DICKHEAD AND WALKED INTO HIMSELF AND THE GRACE OF GOD. AND JACOB WAS A DICKHEAD, FUCKING BEAUTIFUL WIFE BECAUSE SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SHE WAS A BITCH AND MORE BIBLE DRAMA. But "Israel" was the emergence or at least the accepting of truth in a person who stole his inheritance from his brother and mistreated his wives and didn't realize his son was sold into slavery and that his other sons relished in it. Israel/Jacob awoke in his truth and felt, or so maybe we'd like to believe, compassion for himself and then could in what short time he had life begin again to resurrect his family line back into god's graces.
SO WHEN PEOPLE WISH TO SQUISH AND SQUASH OR MEANDER AROUND THE BIG PIMPLE THAT IS ISRAEL
I say this... we need an Israel riot of information and maybe thats where I need to begin in my writing, expelling the truths I learned about the world, about our personal recovery and how it ties into the big changes we see today.
And this was inspired by a post I made on a Saab board (http://www.saabsunited.com/2009/07/gm-to-exit-chapter-11---no-word-about-saab.html#comments) that tied Israel to Saab through the military industrial complex. (BIG SURPRISE) Which while I love Saab dearly made me question wtf is the auto bailout about, its not about saving the "backbone" of America's economy but really about this swap of high tech industrial gadgets that would superfeed more military bs. Why else would Chrysler receive bail money? The Military Industrial Complex is the last mass to be economically reckoned with and I seriously doubt it will be.
But anyone as soon as Israel came into discussion the comments were seen as hijacking and off topic into the discourse of the RELIGIOUS AND THE POLITICAL. How does the mention of Israel become religious? Zionism is not a religious movement. It really isn't, and politics is the bailout, but whatever. Anti-semitism and Saab. Heh.
ISRAEL RIOT OF INFORMATION ACT! BRING IT ON! ROAR!

11:54 pm - Saab Memories
I'm on my 4th Saab and feel the need to commence my newest Saab but also remember the old ones. My newest Saab is a 1993 900 Turbo 5-Speed, forest green in color. My car has an affinity for Simon and Garfunkel and thus prefers to be known as "Scarborough". Its previous owner was a media/entertainment person who listed to a lot of S+G while driving the car in brief spurts around suburban Connecticut. I was the very lucky driver who learned stick shift in an hour or so and had to drive a very sluggish car through the mountains of Southern Mass. Apparently simon and garfunkel did not provide enough enthusiasm for Scarborough's previous owner to affirmatively use the gas pedal... thus carbon buildup and an unhappy turbo. But not the turbo works, but we have realized that cheap gas was put into Scarborough, so cheap and badly that even pumping 93 into her hasnt helped nor has fuel cleaners. There is some inconsistency and clogging with the gas particularly in going to first gear where Im getting the same rpms as usual to put it into first but the car stalls out... GAS GAS GAS.. and the car really hates stop and go traffic and I live in a city so great. So on nice non-humid summer days I take her out on the back roads to go whizz up and down them for a bit. And we beat out the Beemers and Buicks with glee.
And with each Saab I've owned, each one is very particular with its needs and driving, mostly because they are used cars but if you treat them well, they are a complete joy to drive. I've never driven a car that makes me outright giggle after I spent 3-4 days driving it in a particular Saabish way and putting lots of fuel cleaner and 93 gas in it. It's a car that is beyond peppy or speedy; SAABS are downright spiritually robust!
Here are my other previous Saabs:

05:03 pm - Far Reaching Effect of Michael Jackson
I will continue my work on Child Abuse and Michael Jackon. He is "iconographic" of Child Abuse in so many ways.
The major reason for this being that people feel comfortable discussing child abuse in relation to Michael Jackson. He is very easy to point the figure at, as someone who was abused a child and also perpetrated abuse on others. The purpose of my work on CA and MJ is to show people what exactly they are POINTING THE FINGER AT.
But in the meantime, I found this video on youtube of Jail inmates practicing Thriller:

03:49 pm - this quote just stuns me with its shimmering sense of pure humanity
“The beat of my heart has grown deeper, more active, and yet more peaceful, and it is as if I were all the time storing up inner riches…My [life] is one long sequence of inner miracles.” The young Dutchwoman Etty Hillesum wrote that in a Nazi transit camp in 1943, on her way to her death at Auschwitz two months later.

12:45 pm - stanley fish on emperor obama
http://fish.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/07/yes-i-can/?8ty&emc=ty
so this time we have a man who is utilizing the power of the people just like some other notables (i will only mention one -- "mao", you can surmise the others with the degree in which you want to understand fish's article). he utilizes the power, exemplary in his speech "yes we can", to make it possible for himself and really himself only. he really has nothing to do with the black population, maybe he once did but as on the nbc 20/20 piece - "24 hours in the white house" obama goes and buys burgers at Five Guys where all the people behind the corner of the counter where black and lower class and everything about that interaction went beyond the perverse limitations society sets on us using race/color and class.
Wolf in sheeps clothing indeed. Now we have a emperor fully clothed and aware and liberal america cedes because we feel more cultural allowance where the degradation and the violence against us is not wrapped up in chuck-norris language and style. The assault and the terms are the same, even more devastating because the illusion is so sweet and materialistically accessible. Welcome to the white house, where the national security advisor listens to U2 instead of the cries of the innocents and obama eats hamburgers made by bailout bankrupt slaves of the empire. The war in iraq is still on, everyone is losing their jobs and any sense of sustenance to pay for cell phones and ipods, and its all the same!!!

10:36 pm - Go get em Jesus! Take that and take that! Pow pow!
I've been consumed with such a beautiful sense of empowerment... not as a woman or a young adult... but as a person, a human being but not for the sanctification of ego or personal gain or righteousness. Just for the sense of what is right in this world and letting that deep sense thrive in me. And it works! Before I used such brute strength and was manipulative and full of crazy mental energy that got me nowhere in life and now Im harnessing myself and pushing out through my heart, calm in my emotions and swelling with intuition... and its hard because its much easier to let my mind do the work and sit back empty and lifeless in the automation of everyday life. It is terrifying to actually have a heart and use it and then figure out how to use it, it requires a tremendous amount of self-trust, but I've never felt more empowered. This is beyond feminism, beyond the call of ethics. This is the base line, the pulse, the origin. It is love in its most sincere form. Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!

To Start a Fire
49-53"I've come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I've come to change everything, turn everything rightside up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I've come to disrupt and confront! From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be—
Three against two,
and two against three;
Father against son,
and son against father;
Mother against daughter,
and daughter against mother;
Mother-in-law against bride,
and bride against mother-in-law."
54-56Then he turned to the crowd: "When you see clouds coming in from the west, you say, 'Storm's coming'—and you're right. And when the wind comes out of the south, you say, 'This'll be a hot one'—and you're right. Frauds! You know how to tell a change in the weather, so don't tell me you can't tell a change in the season, the God-season we're in right now.
57-59"You don't have to be a genius to understand these things. Just use your common sense, the kind you'd use if, while being taken to court, you decided to settle up with your accuser on the way, knowing that if the case went to the judge you'd probably go to jail and pay every last penny of the fine. That's the kind of decision I'm asking you to make."

Failure of socialist revolution that is covering up incredible political and financial motivation with Obama. No world domination doesn't happen so easily. Be honest and crack down or let Chavez in his thunderous murderous socialist revolution take kindness out of politics and keep the detainees... and yes American culture is becoming a bolemic.. the reality and truth is coming out. Yeah for world change!!! We are moving forward just not in any sense that allows itself to fall into Enlightenment logical systems. Welcome to our real freedom. John Adams is crying over the beauty.

12:36 am - Moving into Truth
Gandhi has always been my hero since I saw the 3 hour movie in Social Studies in 9th grade.
Rediscovering him now, I realize he is the pinnacle of philosophical searching -- truth is God, celibacy
and constant self-purification, non-violence, etc. Gandhi's words and life experience is a blessing
to my toiling soul.

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Secrets
Audrey Hepburn was beautiful inside and out. It was fitting that she played an angelic spirit guide in her last acting role, in the movie, "Always." When asked about her secrets for staying so beautiful, this is what she said:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at
the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others

I've just watched Milk again for the 5th maybe 6th time. Every time I am just awash with new sentiment and new understanding of the many different aspects of the life of Harvey milk but also the trajectory the film opens us up to. Many say the film comes at the exact right time with the Mormons and the Proposition 8 fiasco in California, but I don't think the movie can be limited to a merely political response.

05:14 pm - all around evolution
how we are advancing into an ADVANCED MERCENTILE ECONOMIC SYSTEM.... that the economic infastructure is organically changing, adapting to human evolution.. how obama's plan to start a socialistic total government buy buying up failing banks and financial systems, auto industry: DEVAULING EVERY SYSTEM FROM HOUSING TO MARKETS is failing... and capitalism is failing... opening up into an expansive mercentile economic system... human value will be the substantive interchange. the art of labor not labor itself, Mr Marx! The art and beauty of labor in revitalizing our humanity and our connections.. adapting to openness and love... in an advanced mercentile economic system. no money, no slave trades... trade for the effort of being human, feeling your humanity. FREEDOM IN LABOR, no taxation. it will all be actualized WHEN EVERYONE LOVES THEMSELVES for their own integrity and then they take that premise and have something to offer in the ADVANCED MERCENTILE SYSTEM out of the love for themselves.
HUMAN EVOLUTION: from the immaculate conception, to uber heterosexuality and hidden and damaging homosexuality to co-dominance of hetero and homo... moving into a template of love-based attraction, no gender difference or sexual orientation needed... complete release into HUMAN, letting go of desire into LOVE...

12:44 am - liberte theme: Into The Wild
I first saw it in Seattle with a friend. I had read the book, the emotional ties the trailer was claiming did not match my reading of the book. In order to explain his subject's emotional inclinations, the author of the book, Jon Krakouer, compared his own personal treacherous mountain climb with McCandless' Alaska journey. That comparison, emotionally and spiritually bankrupt, seems to purposefully miss the incredibly long swan song of McCandless' journey. At a bar in South Dakota in the movie, the character drunkenly says "Why do people treat each other so bad... judging and controlling..". Then he starts yelling about society, society, the sick society. He rebukes materialism, he rebukes family bonds, he rebukes romantic attachments, etc etc... but he never rebukes God or the all-encompassing force of life which the character comes so close to in his interactions on his journey, what he was doing... until the beautiful end shot of the film where the dying character sees reflections of clouds and such beauty in his eyes.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1144822347076224191
But all in all, this film by Sean Penn is a long sorted poem about reconstituting humanity from government law (from not allowing to paddle down the river to South Dakota farmer being arrested by the FBI for satellite boxes) to bodily energy, physical exertion (exercise and then untimely death, food). I could watch it over and over again and still be grasping at this young man, the people he meets, and the essence of journey. It makes me cry. His achievement of freedom felt so easy, but the emotional upsets, horrors with his parents and the poem he recites to his sister... show us the core of his will-power. I'm breathless with it all everytime I watch it.
