PREDICTIONS: 200+ days from Biden’s Day 1 Actions - Short Version

Biden has signed 17 Executive Orders right after assuming office.  A one-by-one prediction will come soon to justify the following predictions. IN TWO-HUNDRED DAYS: 1) Double digit White unemployment: 10%-12%, Hispanic unemployment 12%-15%, Black unemployment: 18%-25%. 2) Gas prices, currently around $2 per gallon will be $5.25 per gallon. 3) H.S. Girls will begin to lose out on college scholarships to H.S. Boy competing as girls. 4) COVID enters into 4th mutation (3 to go).  Lock downs are ordered from the Feds over riding Governors of Open States. 5) MOST of those companies Trump convinced to remain in the USA will leave discovering that it is easier to pay Mexican bribes than American fees and bribes. 6) American industries that cannot leave will be hobbled and their rates will double. 7) Terrorist attacks, at least two. 8) As it gets worse and worse, Biden and the Democrats will pass more and more laws to correct things not realizing that increasing a burden doesn’t make it go away. 9) Democrats shift blame game to internal strife, not external ones UNTIL a external target presents itself. 10) Biden will seem confused, indecisive, lost and will issue counteracting and conflicting commands. I have been known as a Prophet in the past.  These are my current Prophecies. My name is Sielow, and these are my words.

Take 60 seconds to read this and you’ll be able to prove the ballots were false in 5 minutes.

SMOKING GUN:: HIGH SPEED LASER PRINTERS PRINT DIFFERENTLY THAN VOTING BOOTH PRINTERS -- SO DIFFERENT YOU CAN SEE IT WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS!

Take 60 seconds to read this and you’ll be able to prove the ballots were false in 5 minutes.

 (From memory)  700,000 ballots appeared overnight.  Even at 1 ballot per person that is about* 195 man hours of work.  Assuming they needed the ballots in 6 hours, that’s 32 people working non-stop each hour plus supervisors, supplies, etc., etc.

 Instead they probably printed the ballots on a high speed laser printer. After getting the pages setup right, you can print and process the ballots and envelops at over 20 per second.

 Grant me all of the above, check my math provided below.

 There’s a problem!

 The machines at the voting booth, if they are like ours, either print local ballot using a bubble printer, a thermal printer, or possibly a dot matrix printer BUT NOT a laser printer.  Each machine produces a different style of printing that is visible using a LOW POWERED microscope or even a magnifying glass.  The differences are so stark it’s like putting a moose in a field of chickens.

 Verify this information with any computer technician with 10+ (15+) years of experience.

 High speed laser printer print in such a distinct format that you CANNOT deny they print something.

 Ink jets, thermals, impression, dot matrix printers and ink pens ALL print to the page differently than the high speed lasers do.  The mass produced cards will have printing styles extremely different than the ones produced by the voting machines have BUT the styles will be EXACTLY the same (or perhaps in six different version but all those different versions will be exactly the same).

 Grab a common newspaper, a magnifying glass and print out a copy of this text on a laser and an ink jet printer.  View all the printings under the magnifying glass and you’ll see what I mean.  The laser printer output is different than the other two. Not only that, but depending on HOW they printed the ballots, all the laser printed ones MAY HAVE a printing style that is EXACTLY the same on each ballot.  It would be like a finger print!  Frankly I suspect they used more than one machine to do the printing and so there may be several “finger prints” but all of those would be definable and easily identified on every printout!  If they used six different printers, you could actually tell a judge WHICH printer printed WHICH ballot!

 Grab a handful of the “single vote” ballots and a handful you are certain are valid.  If you compare them, even under a magnifying glass, you should (may) see how the printing differs.

 If I am right, you could even present the suspected ballots in a random pile with valid ballots to someone, even a judge, and the person would instantly be able to see which were printed locally and which were printed by laser printer.

 GO!  TEST THIS! Verify it yourself!  It will take as long as it takes to find a microscope and to get some real and suspected false ballots.  There is an 85% chance this is your smoking gun!  All ballots printed by high speed printers were printed OFF SITE! You can easily give microscopes and random ballots to judges and they will be able to see and verify the differences as well.

 Give “me” (any competent programming manager) 5 programmers, three high speed scanners and four hours and I could produce a program which would INSTANTLY ID those ballots printed using different machines in three or four hours. The tech already exists that does this, it would just a matter of putting together the programming to report when it spots a laser printing and all other printing types.

 Let me know if you need further details or simply contact any computer tech you trust who has 15 years of experience.  They will tell you the same thing.

 Good luck.

 P.S.  Did you put out a reward for information request on Craig’s List in the suspected cities?  The people falsifying this are doing so for money.  Offer a reward and if the group that did this has over 15 people in it, someone will need the extra cash.  You might get lucky.

 I am Sielow.These are my words.

 *60 seconds x 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds per hour.

700,000 ballots / 3,600 = 194.4444 man hours of work, no breaks, 1 ballot per second.

195 man hours in 6 hours is 32.5 people working non-stop for 6 hours.

 5 High Speed Laser printers: 20 ballots per second x 60 seconds x 60 minutes = 72,000 seconds per hour, per machine.

5 printers = 360,000 per hour.

700,000 done in under 2 hours + setup time.  Estimated: 700,000 in 3 hours.

The Building goes up.

It’s strange.  Really strange.  After a year of negotiations; a year of digging in my heels, a year of seeking assistance, the building of The Building, a skyscraper by design, has begun. It’s strange because, well, I needed some gas money for the bulldozers and I finally received the requested funds.  Then I couldn’t find the keys to the bulldozers.  Next someone stole the blades off the bulldozers.  FINALLY it took/it is taking some time to relearn how to drive these damned/damnable things.  How do you start the bulldozers?  It’s been a while.  How do you make it go forward?  How do you turn in a circle?  Which one causes the blade to go up and come down.  How to you make attachments work?  Is there a heater on this thing?  Opps!  I’ve lost the keys again. We went from me being unhappy to me being ashamed; of me being embarrassed; of me looking stupid. Which is kind of upsetting.  I have a reputation of being the guy who gets the job done.  I cross the “T”s and dot the “I”s.  I make sure the work is done and the bosses get good results.  Above and beyond!  Constantly! Except for this. Damn 2020.  Yes, that’s right, I’m blaming/shifting the blame, to this cursed year. Or trying to. But ya know what?  I found the keys, got new blades, have (re-)mastered how to drive the damned bulldozer and, well, we’ve finished the first floor. There are 52 floors to be built on this foundation.  Each floor will have at least 2 rooms. In addition to that, we’re also adding conference rooms via Blogs to each floor.  Each floor gets between two to 8 conference rooms per level, per week.  We already have over 20 conference rooms in the basement.  If needed, we can move the conference rooms up to one of the new levels. Everything is in place.  Advertising comes next as we build the floors.  Customers can move into the floors even as we add additional floors. But we need tenants.  I hope you will stop by AND SUBSCRIBE!!!  Look over each of the floors.  Hopefully they will be presented in an interesting manner and be unlike any of the current buildings enough that you’ll want to be notified as soon as a room is completed as the floors go up. Fingers crossed. <Sigh> It’s an awfully tall building when you look at it from the first floor. But it will seem so very short after 52 floors. Raise your glasses in a toast, ladies and gentlemen!  To THE Building and ALL its floors!

...

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE go to YouTube, look up “IAmSielow” and look over the videos!  I think you’ll find them addictive!  I hope you’ll choose the like button and also subscribe.

PLEASE head over to Tumblr, look for “IAmSielow” -- become a follower, and give the posts a thumbs up when you can.

PLEASE look for me on Twitter as “IAmSielow.”  -- become a follower there as well.  Short and sweet lead-ins.  The balconies of each floor.

And on Facebook you can find me as”IamSielow” (Ian Sielow).  We’re trying to get the base username changed but having some issues. -- Feel free to friend me.

PLEASE get the word out!  Recommend us to friends, family and the people you don’t like so you’ll finally have common ground with them.

And finally, for this list, if you want the building to get bigger, please consider going to SubScribeStar.com and looking me up as “IAmSielow” and help me keep the grease going on these bulldozers.

Currently, we’re planning on releases to YouTube on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  That could change, but expect a new floor every week and at least two new office areas (YouTube videos) for each floor and additional conference rooms (Blog Entries) for each floor.

This is going to be a massive building.  As I revive my bulldozer skills, the floors will look better and better.

I am Sielow and These are My Words.

We are also going to be on

I think you’ll find wisdom

It was the First Kick

I swear.  It's the first time you feel the baby kick.  At least it was for me.  I was washing dishes.  We don't have a dishwasher, other than me and maybe the Mister -- he really does help a lot on these things -- but he said that when he got rid of the dishwasher he had before meeting me his heating, water and electric bills all went down in huge amounts.

It was an interesting adjustment for me, but when V. helped me wash them we'd talk while working together to accomplish the task and it felt good to work with him when he helped.

V. had gone into the living room for something and I was washing the dishes alone.  I'd been showing for a while and then, right there, in the middle of washing off a big dinner plate -- it kicked.

 I swear to god, at first I thought it was, I don't know.  I thought I imagined it.  I mean, my body was going through a lot of changes, I’ve never been pregnant before, who knows what was happening now?  I'd felt the, what they call the "flutters", of course.  Those were interesting.  This was WAY beyond that!

 V., my doctor and everyone kept saying not to worry about some of the changes coming.  Nature had perfected the process and all I had to do was enjoy the ride.

 The emotional roller coaster had been a thrill.  The change in food tastes was cute.  But it was then, right there, in the middle of washing off that big plate that my life changed.

 I mean, I got it. Okay.  The classes in Middle School discussed all the events involved, sometimes in more graphic details than I would have liked, but after all the videos, all the books, all the discussions with all the doctors and other mothers, it was in the middle of that big dinner plate that everything really changed.

 It was a kick.

 No.  No it wasn't.  It couldn't be.  It must have been my imagination.  A hope, perhaps.  Maybe anticipation intruding into my musings.  Perhaps a spoonful of peas gone down wrong.  I waited.  I waited.

 Nothing.

 See?  I knew it.  I've got to chew more carefully.  I paused, waiting for the gods to suddenly pounce on my flippant thought and prove me wrong but, no, still nothing.

 One plate down, several more to go.  V. is still in the living room, messing around with something.  He'll be back in the kitchen in a few minutes.  He's rather attentive these days.  He thinks this is all …

 OH MY GOD!

 It kicked again.  I FELT IT!

 I dropped the plate I was working on and wandered over to a chair.  I … I don't know.  Until then. Until that moment.  Until right then, it finally hit me.

 I had a living … HUMAN thing inside me.  A creature, totally dependent on me.

 My hand began rubbing my belly.  I wondered if I'd be able to feel the next one outside my belly.

 I wanted to cry.  I wanted to scream.  I wanted to do a thousand things at once, and most of them emotional extremes, but instead I just closed my eyes and continued to rub my belly.

 Because at THAT moment, that VERY moment, I realized what ALL of this meant.

 I don't mean to offend, but, you know, church, school, classes, boys, marriage, getting pregnant, knowing I wanted to get pregnant, understanding it was time to get pregnant, the test showing a Plus-Sign, the follow-up doctor appointments, the announcements, the phone calls, emails, and texts.

 Everything. Absolutely everything suddenly rolled up like some sort of spring toy stretched from the start of my life until this very moment.  It all just suddenly snapped loose and came together to THIS moment!

 The second kick and my life -- My life has always had meaning, don't misunderstand me.  I am not defined by my sex, my age, my gender, my anything.  I AM ME.

 But at that moment, I became...

 There was a living thing growing in me.  It moved. It kicked.  It was … alive.

 V. quietly came into kitchen.  He and I have always had a link.  He often knew me without me saying a word.  He got down on his knees next to me in the chair.  Pulled up my shirt to expose my tummy and he kissed it and then laid his head against it.

 God!  I wanted it to kick, right then and there!  Kick so that he'd feel it too.  I wanted him to celebrate my existence as much as I was, then and there.

 But it didn't.  Not for a while.  And not so that anyone except me knew it was happening.

 But in that moment, with V. laying his head against my belly, in that kitchen, with half washed dishes in the sink, with the smells of dinner still lingering in the air, I felt my son kick.

 For the first time in my life, I felt focused; felt all of time and space, future, past, present, felt focused on that one, singular event.

 He kicked more since that first time, of course.  Sometimes more than I'd like.  I chuckle a little.  Once he was kicking a bit and he suddenly stopped for a long time.  I was worried at first until I remember, even unborn babies sleep sometimes.

 The pregnancy went ahead just like V., the doctors, mom, mom-in-law, and grandmothers said it would. The roller coaster steadied quite a bit, people (V.) were way, way too concerned at times and everything went with very few complications or concerns.  I wondered if I was a lucky one, but my doctor chuckled and said it was perfectly natural and I was one of many.

 V., on the other hand, told me that, yes, I was a Lucky One.  I was Special.  I was bringing Life into this world.

 I knew all of that but … I don't know.  When V. said it, it sounded Real.  It sounded like it needed to be said.  It felt like I was the Goddess of All Life!

 But this isn't being written for all the other things.  This is being written for that one moment; that one single event.  When a thing kicked in my belly and only he and I knew it. That moment when I realized I was a real mommy.  A mother. A woman capable of giving birth and repopulating the entire world if needed!

 At that moment, at that kick, I was a mom.

 And I just wanted to tell you about it.

 Thank you. -- L., wife of V.

There is NO such thing as "Systemic Racism**." Racism is a perfectly NATURAL and I can prove it!

 Racism is a perfectly NATURAL aspect that must be controlled, NOT denied and I can prove it!  There is no such thing as "Systemic Racism*."

 Systemic Racism is partly built on premise that racism is encouraged by those with the power to build things and they built the racism into the processes they created by a fault within the person.  While it is in processes, it gets in because it's a natural event and not put in by a fault within the person other than recognizing the aspect exists and controlling it.  The cast of the TV show "Friends" were all white people because the people building the show grew up with all white friends NOT because the system defined all friends as white.

 "Black-ish" has stereo-typical white people in certain spots because the creators of that TV grew up running into white people like that all the time in those spots.

 But this ALL changes when you meet Robert!

 Robert was born a visible mutant.  He had four fingers on each hand, was rather short and round-ish and had no neck. Born without thumbs, the doctors had, very early in his life, bent back his pointing finger and created a long thumb which, when you saw Rob's hands from a distance you instantly knew there was "sumthin' not right 'bout this boy" that even his lack of neck didn't as easily betray.

 Due to his various oddities, interacting with Rob took some getting used to from a "normal" person's side of things.  Shaking the hands of a man born with four fingers on each hand is an interesting adjustment as is the first time he gives you the finger where the ring finger stands in for the middle finger.

 While his physical deformities made interacting with Rob unique, the mutant aspects did not extend to his mind or personality.  He was a very friendly, easy to get along with person.  Everyone who could get past his looks found a person interested in show tunes, famous and infamous Broadway plays and science-fiction and fantasy books and movies.  He had a fairly high intelligence and used his very sharp mind on the subjects he like. He could and recreated scenes from anything of interest he had read or seen.

 In addition to this, in general he became a friend to many and to all those who met him.  He was greatly loved by those in his circle and greatly admired by those who knew him from a distance.

 Now I am not presenting Rob and his pedigree for without reason.  Rob's life experiences demonstrate the logical fallacy "Systemic Racism".

 Here is a man who was never spoken poorly of, either to his face or behind his back.

 Yet once, when he met the three-year-old daughter of a close friend of his for the first time, she screamed her head off and ran from him!  I looked at him and he looked at me.  "This happens a lot?" I asked.

 He rolled his eyes and replied, "A LOT more than you'd imagine."

 Those who encounter with Nazi beliefs often try to place the blame on the parents and wonder what their children have been learning at home, out of sight of society.  Rob's very good friends don't sit their daughter down one day and lecture her about the scary man with four fingers.  Behind his back they didn't speak ill of him and, because of his very well liked personality, probably with more affection than a lot of people can claim.

 Yet, when meeting the three-year-old daughter of a close friend of his for the first time, she screamed her head off and ran from him.

 The reaction from her to Rob was a completely natural event.  One with no malice other than simply as a natural, built in reaction to something "not of her tribe and experience".  Just as the cast of "Friends" were.

 The exclusion of blacks in "Friends," the children growing up with Nazi or AntiFA feelings are NOT, in general being instructed to this "evil" but are simply following natural tendencies which were never reined in as much as they should have been.

 "Hey, honey, guess what!  As we were also having lives somehow our son was corrupted by Black Lives Matter when we weren't looking.*"

 *It is assumed these writings will exist decades from now when Black Lives Matter, AntiFA and Nazis will, by then, be known to all being ingredients of the same soup.

 The point being presented is that just as no one instructed, on purpose, the little girl's reaction to Rob, either subconsciously or consciously, she still had a completely natural reaction to him.

 So what happened after running from Rob?  She was brought back to Rob and introduced to him.  She examined his differences and was told by her parents he was a very good friend.  When she observed her family interacting with Rob, she saw a person accepted where, by nature's rules, he should have been rejected.

 She saw a natural impulse being controlled, not allowed to run wide and without thought.

 The anniversary of Rob's passing is coming up as I write this.  Soon I will be driving hundreds of miles as I do twice a year to visit his unmarked grave.  I will stand above it proving context and narrative to the events he's witnessed from the other side.  I'll remember the fonder, deeper memories we shared with a sad smile and look forward to the day we can laugh together again about this thing we call life.

 But before I go I will hear the latest bullshit about something called Systematic Racism and I will crap myself at how stupid and controllable many people are.  How they didn't understand their deeper selves and their deeper lives and natures and have yet to figure out the main punch line JC and Christianity tries to teach:  Natural tendencies are not always tendencies that people create in themselves and, just because they may be natural, the should NOT be allowed to fun free.  JC said that controlling the urge to lie, to steal, to do dozen and dozens of other immoral things need to be controlled not to be allowed "natural freedom" to exist.  These urges need to be UNDERSTOOD but NOT accepted.  He also taught to NEVER, EVER assume certain views or feelings are an inheritance from one generation to another.

 I miss my friend Rob, but in my direct observations of his life he taught me a core lesson I could never have realized without him.

 This blog entry is dedicated to one of my bestest friends ever, Robert C. around the anniversary of his passing.  In 2020, when this was written, he had been dead 19 years but he will never forgotten by anyone who knew him and he'll never be forgotten by me.

 Thanks Rob.

 **"Systemic Racism" is defined as a distinctly structural phenomenon, meaning the practices and behaviors that perpetuate racism within a system are baked into the system itself, but it's not "baked into the system," it's baked into the PEOPLE!

Ruth Bader Ginsberg is dead. Sandra Day O'Connor who?

The reaction I get from social media when discussing Ruth Bader Ginsberg is: "Sandra Day O'Connor who?"

RGB was NOT the first woman on the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O'Connor was.

RGB did NOT break the glass ceiling, Sandra Day O'Connor did.

Why is Sandra Day O'Connor ignored?  SHE was appointed by a Republican.  SHE doesn’t count.  RGB was appointed by a Democrat.

Who WAS RGB? She was a biased, bitter woman at times.

You would expect a judge to NOT be biased and look at the facts of a case in their consideration of it. RGB once publicly stated that no matter what the case was, she would ALWAYS render a judgment against whatever Trump's position was. A Supreme Court Justice is supposed to use the Constitution as a guide in rendering decisions. Ruth would sometimes pull the basis for her decision out of thin air.

While did she remain seated on the court even though very ill through the last two years of her life? Just so Trump wouldn't get to choose her successor. It got so bad that she would fall asleep WHILE ON THE BENCH, during arguments!

The rumor was it didn't matter. The DNC would contact her clerks; tell them what her opinion was going to be. They would write up “her” opinion, wake her up enough to sign her name and then put her back to sleep. Several of her appearances were done remotely so they could pull the plug on the feed if she dropped off. She became Muppet-like -- not really alive, but not dead enough to be buried.

If you know the movie "Weekend at Bernie's" where a pair of guys party with a corpse they make people THINK is still alive, with RGB it was "Judgment with Ruthy" since she was basically put in positions where others would move her limbs to imitate life while rendering judgments.

Why didn't she do the honorable thing and retire? Well, first of all, there's that word "honorable" which means nothing to an Atheist Liberal. Second, even dead or incapacitated, Liberals are useful to their masters, especially when the Liberal is in a powerful position.  If you look back over the last 20 years, you spot MANY Liberals WHO WERE IN HOSPITALS WITH SERIOUS conditions whom the Leadership refused to allow to resign or even die.

Besides, the DNC is used to using the dead to vote and guide politics. RINOs like John McCain demonstrated this the last years of his life. I guess when you don't believe in an afterlife then ending THIS life means the end of all things real. Christians tend to believe that God will play a part in the future.  Atheists “know” THIS, right here, right now, is all they have and once they give it up, THEY won’t mean anything any longer.

Even when kept pumped up with drugs and using mirrors to mimic life, a Liberal in a position of power is better than one whose dead body you have to stand on  to get noticed.

P.S.  I have a prediction for you.  The Liberals rarely honor their dead.  They see the cameras and NEED the Camera focused upon on THEM.  When you don’t believe in an afterlife, you get all the attention you can NOW. Saying, mentioning or referencing Trump gets them a spotlight. At Ruth’s Memorial I bet Trump is mentioned or referenced more times than they say Ruth’s name.  After all, she’s dead.  The only thing she’s useful for not is to grab camera time as you stand on her corpse and spout dogma.

The Horses are in the Gate!

The editing is going faster and slower than I thought it was.  In fact, now that this project is moving, it is doing so in nicer ways than I had feared and I chomp at the bit to make things move faster.

Just because I know and have experienced a lot doesn't mean some parts are not looked forward to being experienced.

When JC was carrying the cross up the hill, he wasn't skipping along excited about going Home.  The cross was heavy, the beatings severe and, just as being born is a process, so is dying, and there are difficulties in both that have to be experienced.

So it is that I wasn't looking forward to some aspects of this part of the adventure.  Trepidation I should have ignored stronger -- I actually think I have something.  But I'm biased.I also lucked out.  Both my Landlord and I have things in common.  No, no, I'm not talking about the times we spent as commanders of Vietnamese Prison camps, I mean we've both been instructors or have training as such.

FvK has had classical instructor training.  He was, at one point, going to be a H.S. Teacher before life got in the way.

Me?  I talk and people listen to me.  That and I can translate any knowledge I have into the jargon and technical levels of anyone I am working with.

Sidebar:  I have been an instructor many times.  Ha ha.  The first time I became an official one, I contacted my mother and told her she could tell her friends that her son had become a Rabbi.  This confused her on several levels:  1) We aren't Jewish, 2) Huh? and 3) She has no friends.

Okay, that last one is a lie and a just a punchline of a joke, but I had to explain to her that one of the classical definitions of Rabbi is "Teacher" or "Instructor."  It is one of the reasons JC is referred to as Rabbi quite a bit.   As one I qualify as the others.

Ha ha.

Anyway, one of the things I wasn't looking forward to was the editing.  But as noted, luck was on my side.  FvK has done editing in the past and has taught several people how to handle the editor.  I have gotten up to speed VERY quickly now that I'm actually doing it.

I am even looking forward to it as well.  I am hoping to publish before EOW, but I have a large plate of stuff queued up to do before the sands of time run out on this week.Still, I've just finished breakfast and I'll be checking to see if the Landlord is up.  While I am connected to his network and have my own PC, the editing program(s) are on his machine.

We edit in the big house, I publish from the garage.  It works out well, as long as I schedule things accurately.

Anyway, his instructions on the editing program have been easy to adapt to and I am flying along.  This is good because I have another hour to 3 hours of stuff to edit. Add on another 2 for flavoring and when I am through I hope to not only have three items ready to go, but also the book ends ready and complete and the inserts labeled and separated.

That written, I see (hear) the dog is out.  That means the Landlord is up.  Time to knock on the door and see if I can get this plate of tasks cleared off.

OH!  I need to take in some dishes to was as well!  Just a couple as most of the stuff is disposable.

Off we go!

Has my GREAT LOSS finally been explained?  Has it finally?

So my Bosses finally go their heads out of the asses and we've begun moving forward a little more on the Project.  This week, though, they decided to remind me they could destroy me any time they desired. "Oh, don't worry.  I've always understood that.  That doesn't mean anything to me at this point in this Project." 'Do we still have a problem?  Is there something MORE you want?  Do we still have a problem?' "We still have a problem, but it's not an issue." 'What?  What is it now?' "Well, to be perfectly honest, we wouldn't be in this shit right now if you HADN'T KILLED LIZ!" 'Liz! Liz! Liz! By the Lords of Light and Darkness, you ALWAYS bring it back to LIZ!' "We wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't killed Liz!  She was going to be my push!  Instead you ran around with your heads up your asses and you BASTARDS killed off my rock!" 'Did it ever occur to you that the Client hadn't hired you that last time for Liz to be your Rock?  Did it ever occur to you that she was being shown Final Options? 'Jobs, friends, co-workers and yes, even a lover.  But instead of taking these options, she chose the ending?' "SHE -- DID -- NOT -- CHOOSE-- THE -- ENDING!  She has been back plenty of times.  She has not said or indicated that she came back that last time to get an Ending!  YOU KILLED HER!  AND WORSE YOU WON'T TELL ME THE REASON!!!" ... They paused. ... 'What makes you think Liz was the Client?' ... "What?" 'What makes you think Liz was the Client?'

'Who do you think was the Client?  It wasn't Liz.' "... Then ... Then her family?  Why?  What was the Reason for bringing her back into my life only to die?" 'Did it ever occur to you that we were not choosing to NOT answer you? Did it ever occur to you we don't KNOW why?  We don't know the Reason.' "But why ...?" 'Why would a Client do this?' "Yes.  Why?" 'It Is Not Our Place To Ask Our Clients such questions.  We Provide Service, pure and simple.' "But, then, why hasn't Liz told me?  In all the times she's visited, why hasn't SHE told me why?" 'What makes you think THEY told HER?' "Because she's their family." 'What makes you think this?' "Because they hired us to ..." '… Show Liz her Options.  But Liz refused EVERYTHING they offered to give to her, INCLUDING a lover.  Then when it mattered the most, they denied her. 'They Let Liz Die.' "But why?" 'We do not question our Client's wants.' "Why wouldn't they tell her?  She's their Family!" 'What makes you think she is of their Family?' "What ... What do you mean?" 'We mean, Liz was denied by her family.  Liz was ... 'Liz was ... 'The last thing they did was set Liz adrift.' "Wha ..." 'Liz is no longer docked.  She is adrift.  Why do you think Rob didn't get her on the phone when he called to speak to you?' "But she still watches over her family."

"Muke, muke!" y'all!

One of the items I was most surprised about in my travels was how dogs bark in different languages. ... Hopefully you're confused right now as was I.  As an English speaking person, my dogs go "Woof" and "Ruff" and "Bark".  Given all things throughout creation, I could swear to you that this is Universal, yes? Au contraire!  I cannot remember exactly which languages, countries and the exact pronunciations involved, so I will fabricate some of what follows. Anyway, in one country I was told dogs don't "Bark" they "Muraff".  Close enough, I guess, but in another I was told they "Muff.  Muff", heavy on the 'M'. In another, they looked at me oddly for "Bark" and replied it was "Muke, muke". And it's not just dogs, although those are the easiest to reference.  Cats "mutter", Birds "ketch" and even cows "mic". Cow's "mic"ing?  Seriously?  If you say so. Anyway, I was talking to my dog the other while and was half wondering if I should switch to French or some other language.  I decided against it.  I am currently "English" based and see no reason to switch for the canine. Although ... decades and decades ago, I once owned a dog named Poppy who understood basic German.  So for many of the commands I'd issue to her, she would follow them better if given in German. And my previous dog, <private>, while not prone to any specific language I did always give the impression she died while a French soldier.  I say this because I would catch visions of specific uniform types whenever there was any thunder crashing or an explosion sounding out somewhere.  She would shake and shiver through these loud, explosive sounds and I'd see images from her of privates being given commands to get out of foxholes and rush across the battlefield. Given her reactions, I'd have to say she was some of the millions who never made it far once she stood up and tried to run. ... "Muke, muke!" y'all!

Is THIS why they didn’t provide with the Reason?  Is it?

So my Bosses finally go their heads out of the asses and we've begun moving forward a little more on the Project.  This week, though, they decided to remind me they could destroy me any time they desired.

"Oh, don't worry. I've always understood that.  That doesn't mean anything to me at this point in this Project."

'Do we still have a problem? Is there something MORE you want? Do we still have a problem?'

"We still have a problem, but it's not an issue."

'What?  What is it now?'

"Well, to be perfectly honest, we wouldn't be in this shit right now if you HADN'T KILLED LIZ!"

'Liz! Liz! Liz! By the Lords of Light and Darkness, you ALWAYS bring it back to LIZ!'

"We wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't killed Liz!  She was going to be my push!  Instead you ran around with your heads up your asses and you BASTARDS killed off my rock!"

'Did it ever occur to you that the Client hadn't hired you that last time for Liz to be your Rock? Did it ever occur to you that she was being shown Final Options?

'Jobs, friends, co-workers and yes, even a lover.  But instead of taking these options, she chose the ending?'

"SHE -- DID -- NOT -- CHOOSE-- THE -- ENDING!  She has been back plenty of times.  She has not said or indicated that she came back that last time to get an Ending! YOU KILLED HER!  AND WORSE YOU WON'T TELL ME THE REASON!!!"

...

They paused.

...

'What makes you think Liz was the Client?'

...

"What?"

'What makes you think Liz was the Client?'

"Oh, I don't know: Because I provided her with the jobs, friends, co-workers and even the lover? All things she needed options on!"

'But what makes you think LIZ was the one who ordered all of that.'

"...What?"

'Liz had no credit, remember?  Or none to speak of.  What makes you think she was the one who ordered all of those options for her to choose from?'

"Wait. What?  If Liz wasn't the Client, then who ...?"

'Do you remember her death?'

"Clearly."

'Do you remember her entire family turning their back to her when she needed them?'

"Yes."

'Who do you think was the Client?  It wasn't Liz.'

"... Then ... Then her family?  Why?  What was the Reason for bringing her back into my life only to die?"

'Did it ever occur to you that we were not choosing to NOT answer you?  Did it ever occur to you we don't KNOW why?  We don't know the Reason.'

"But why ...?"

'Why would a Client do this?'

"Yes.  Why?"

'It Is Not Our Place To Ask Our Clients such questions.  We Provide Service, pure and simple.'

"But, then, why hasn't Liz told me?  In all the times she's visited, why hasn't SHE told me why?"

'What makes you think THEY told HER?'

"Because she's their family."

'What makes you think this?'

"Because they hired us to ..."

'… Show Liz her Options. But Liz refused EVERYTHING they offered to give to her, INCLUDING a lover.  Then when it mattered the most, they denied her.

'They Let Liz Die.'

"But why?"

'We do not question our Client's wants.'

"Why wouldn't they tell her?  She's their Family!"

'What makes you think she is of their Family?'

"What ... What do you mean?"

'We mean, Liz was denied by her family.  Liz was ...

'Liz was ...

'The last thing they did was set Liz adrift.'

"Wha ..."

'Liz is no longer docked. She is adrift.  Why do you think Rob didn't get her on the phone when he called to speak to you?'

"But she still watches over her family."

'As she is free to do, but not as a family member.

'Liz was set adrift.'

"But why?"

'We do NOT question the actions of our Clients!

'Sir!  It is NOT that we have been ignoring your requests to know The Reason Liz was brought back into your Life only to die.

'It's because we have no idea why.'

I fell to my knees, sobbing.

'It's not that we took Liz away from you, it's that when Liz was shown a paradise, she chose the alternative.  What was the last thing you told her?'

"Liz, if you don't change your life, you will die and there is nothing I can do to prevent it."

'And what did she say?'

"I don't care!"

'And your Assignment ended.

'Your assignment for the Client who wanted to give Liz an option ended.

'Why?  We don't know why.  They are a Client.  They order, we collect, and we provide the services we do.'

"But ... She was going to be my rock."

'Yes.  She could have been.'

"HE left because of her death."

'Yes, HE did.  And now he's living with a false cutout of her through your eyes.

'You always assumed that the fence around his existence was to keep you from interfering.  What if, instead, it’s become his prison?  He has everything he ever wanted, but still looks out at your life for guidance to His.'

"... Why.  Why couldn't you have told me this before?"

'Because, she HAD BEEN your rock.  She HAD BEEN your steady.  In all the things you've done, she WAS the thing you were holding onto to keep from collapsing.

'But now ...

'Now, the bulldozer has fuel.'

"It does."

'You've found the keys.'

"I have."

'You know what needs to be done?'

"I think so."

'Good.  Let's build something.'

"We're ... we're a year behind."

'Are we?  We hadn't noticed.  For all you know, we're right on time.'

"Okay.  I'll see what I can do."

'Good.  Good.  Now, is there ANYTHING else we need to take care of?'

"Yes.  One last thing."

'What?'

"Can you let me win the lottery?  It would make doing this a LOT easier."

...

Do I believe them?

I don't know.  I have fuel for the bulldozer, I have the keys, and I have the funds to get started.  The Big Guy even has provided me with some thoughts to chew on.

The Impulsive Keyboard Buy

I admit it was an impulse buy.  I hadn't really consider getting something "like" this.  Just the basic model.

I "needed" a back-lit keyboard.

I find my muses work a lot when I am sleeping.  I wake up with a really good idea and want to record it ASAP, even if it means looking up data.

I have an unused laptop. (I generally dislike the things -- they are anti-PC.  PCs should be big, stationary and have lots and lots of ports.  Tablets are even worse. LOL!)

I found a cheap rolling hospital table -- it has flaws that glue, tape and a couple of bent nails see to have fixed for now -- the glue has come undone and will require fixing soon.

I prefer keyboards that are wide enough for both hands, another reason to dislike laptops and tablets, and a mouse you use with your hand, not peck at on the screen like a chicken.

Fixing the mouse was easy.  Found a wireless USB mouse that works on the small space the laptop doesn't occupy on the hospital desk.  Now for the keyboard -- the impulse buy.

The plan?  Simple, white lit, keyboard.  Easy to see in the middle of the night.

Simple.

Then I saw this multi-colored thing.  It was only a couple of bucks more.  What the heck.

Wow.  The LED cycles through about 7 different colors: Red, green orange, yellow, white, etc.  Neater still, you can set it to cycle through constantly or lock onto a single color.

There are times I want to type in the dark on a red lit keyboard.  Other times when I'd prefer a nice, bright green.  Changes in mood, changes in the season, just 'cause.

This keyboard does that.  Cycling, not cycling, this is an impulse buy I am happy I went for.  Very happy.

Now a word of advice concerning laptop/;PC add-ons:  Don't be afraid to say "No!"

In this case it has to do with wireless devices, or, more specifically, wireless keyboards.

I have, over the years, invested in wireless mice and keyboards.  Mice, yes.  Two directions of movement and three (+/-) buttons, etc.  Quick reaction times due to low data being sent.

Keyboards: NO!!!  Definitely not.  At first I thought it was me.  Was I backwards?  A neanderthal?  Just "not with it"?

I am not a touch typist, but I can be very fast at times.  When I watch the keyboard I can type very, very fast indeed.

But there were times I'd look up from the wireless keyboard and see it was three sentences behind me.

What?  No!  You do NOT get three sentences behind me!  I am live streaming here.  Instant communications.  YOU, Mr. Keyboard, need to keep up.

Then I did the math:  110 keys, shifts, Control, Alts, Numlocks -- it's a lot to take in.  A lot of data to transmit and interpret wirelessly.

Finally I just said: No.

Wired keyboards for PCs, laptops, and even tablets.  The tablet external keyboard is a tiny thing but easily functional on the lone USB port.

In the dark, the keyboard lights are ... pretty.  Just pretty.

One impulse buy I am happy with.

Why the hell is Tyler Perry rich (and famous)?

Why the hell is Tyler Perry rich (and famous)? I KNOW! I KNOW!! The question begs itself because Tyler Perry never opens with blockbusters and yet he's rich and famous. Makes a LOT of movies and makes money off those movies even though they are never blockbusters. Oh, I should probably mention, Tyler Perry mainly seems to make "Movies for Black Folk." The answer to this question you have to come to the movie "Precious" with me.

SPOILER ALERT: Movie “Precious”.

The movie “Precious” was a racial cross-over hit.  White people were being drawn to it as much as its Black target audience was.  Due to my nature* I was third row center.  Black teens and early twenties were on my left and Liberal Whites were on my right.  How did I know they were Liberals?  Their reactions to certain scenes.  Liberals seem to think the world exists in a rosy glow.  Conservatives know the sh*t is piled high on every side.

*My nature: I’m a little bit of everything except Oriental.  Black, White, Injun, Hispanic – everyone but the Asians.  It was just getting too full to include EVERYONE!  This means I’ve been dipped in a LOT of cultures. Sometimes by force, other times by blood.  Anyway ...

The lead character in the movie “Precious” is a fat, under-educated, possibly retarded, pregnant, AIDS infected black girl living “in the ghettos” as we used to say.  In the movie she is hit and hit violently twice.

The first time she was hit, the Black kids in the theater to my left cheered and screamed out, “YEAH!  HIT HER AGAIN!”  The White people to my right looked at the Black teenagers with shock. They were stunned by the lack of empathy toward the young girl.

The second time the girl gets hit, the young Blacks to my Left are again cheering while the middle-aged White Liberals to my Right are again shocked to this immersion into this aspect of Black society.

Me?  I’m laughing at the White people’s lack of understanding of the world.

***

When I got back to the office, I related what happened at the movie to a Black woman I worked with.  Instantly she was angry and she shook a finger in my face and spitting fire said, “This is EXACTLY why I don’t take my kids to see Black movies when they first come out!”  I was confused, but she continued.  “I do NOT want my kids thinking THIS is who we are!  So we wait until the second week, after that trash clears out, before we go see the movies.”  Oddly enough, when I related the theater experience to another Black woman a little later on, I received a similar reaction:  Never take family to the opening week of a Black movie.

Instantly I understood why Tyler Perry is rich and famous even though his movies do not break records when they we come out.

Tyler Perry’s movie successes are not measured in opening weekend, record-breaking presentations.  Instead, Black families are waiting for the Black hoods to go in and present a false narrative of the general Black life, and then once they are gone, about the third or fourth weekend, the Black families go and watch Tyler’s movies.

Spielberg makes $100-million opening weekend.  Perry makes $100-million opening in months, across several weekends.

Spielberg comes out strong, then loses as LOT of his audience the second week, then more the next weekend and finally on the fourth weekend is barely seeing a soul.  Perry sees the same numbers across the month:  Black hoods first, followed by Black middle income and families after the first two weeks.

Therefore, and thus, Tyler Perry becomes rich.

It all makes sense.

Tyler Perry makes good movies of all types, but the Blacks who see his movies tailor their viewing of the movie to how much of the Ghetto they want to deal with when watching his shows.

Crazy.  Well, at least to those in rode colored glasses.  Simply crazy.

Racism is NATURAL. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SYSTEMATIC RACISM.

The lesson is a simple one:

Q: What is the natural response to having food placed in front of you?

A: To devour it. To eat is as quickly as possible.

Exactly. A dog does this. Consumes so fast it barely registers. Now:

Q: What does your CHURCH training teaches you to do when food is set before you?

A: To bow your head and give thanks AND then consume it -- Sharing if needed.

Exactly. The Church teaches us to overcome our natural desires and replace them with measured responses.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING as Systemic Racism. Racism is NATURAL. It is ingrained in EVERYONE: Black, white, brown, tanned, yellow. or red. Racism aided our ancestors in knowing who belonged to a tribe or a people and who did not. To erect barriers against those who invaded and who to battle against in conflicts.

Racism is NATURAL. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SYSTEMATIC RACISM.

Now the church teachings tell us to resist nature and to accept others, based on their actions, not their words or looks.These teachings go toward stealing, lying, sexuality, intercourse, interacting with others, having disagreements, swearing and so forth.

ALL Natural things are to be tempered, controlled. Giving into natural impulses is to be resisted and or eliminated for a better good.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SYSTEMATIC RACISM.Racism is NATURAL.  My name is Sielow and These are my Words.

One of the neatest things about being an Atheist is you can actually Do Any Damned Thing You Want!!

One of the neatest things about being an Atheist is you can actually Do Any Damned Thing You Want!! -- as long as you don't get caught .Sometimes, if you are rich enough or powerful enough, even if you do get caught, You Can Get Away With ANYTHING!That's one of the draws to being an Atheist:  No Rules.Or, rather, One-And-A-Half Rule:  1) Never get caught. 1.5) If you do get caught be Rich or Powerful Enough to get off without punishment!It's also one of the draw backs of being a Christian.  You've got all these Rules and Requirements!  Don't do Evil.  Be Honest.  Turn the Other Cheek.Honestly, how do Christians deal with all of this?"What about Muslims and Jews???" you ask.Did you know that both the Muslims and the Jews believe in the Ten Commandments?  The problem is they believe the Ten Rules ONLY apply to members of the Faith.  Sometimes they believe it only applies to members of one's tribe.  And, more often than can be believed, it only applies to one's family.Yep.Muslims, for example, believe all the Ten Rules are valid and should be enforced -- for any Believer in the Prophet, Blessed Be His Name.  But you are allowed to kill Infidels (non-Muslims).  God will separate the Good from the Bad after they are dead.Jews are/were the same way.  Except Jews had requirements.  Moses, for example, would kick someone OUT of Judaism before having him Stoned.  In other cases, the Tribes were free cheat, murder and lie to other Tribes or Gentiles (non-Jews).This was one of the reasons JC was unique in his philosophy.  He said something strange for the time and the place:  He advocated that the Ten Rules be applied to EVERYONE!  Jew, Gentile, EVERYONE!  No Murderin', Lyin', Cheatin' on ANYONE!  Even those NOT of the faith!ARE YOU NUTS?  How can you treat EVERYONE like that?  As though God loves EVERYONE? Sheesh!The only downside of being an Atheist, I guess, is if you are wrong.  Also you only have a 25% of getting int Heaven.If I were a Good Christian, I have a 100% chance of getting into Heaven.  Everyone else?  Less than.Look, let's run the numbers:50% chance the afterlife exists, right?  it either does or it doesn't.  I happen to know it exists, but A) I have sources you don't and B) For all you know, I could be nuts.If Atheists are right and it doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter to me because I get to assume I'm getting into Heaven and if nothing exists, then it doesn't matter.  I thought I was going to Heaven when I died.  The fact I did have a Heaven to get into is Null if nothing exists after life.Now if Heaven DOES exist, there are two versions:One version only those who are Good and Follow the Word(s) gets in and then there's the one that let Hitler and Stalin in*.*Hitler is in his bunker.  Ava has taken poison and is dead.  He sitting there.  The Allies are almost upon him.  He takes his poison pill and suddenly realizes ALL THE EVIL he's done.  He quickly and honestly prays to God asking for complete and utter forgiveness for ALL his sins up to and including his own murder.  After saying "Amen" he's dead.But because he confessed his sins, he's getting into Heaven.-- *Same story for Stalin, but with different aspects.Okay, so either Heaven lets EVERYONE who asks for forgiveness in or Heaven is where Judgement is rendered.In the second version of Heaven you cannot rob a bank on Saturday and go to Church on Sunday and asked to be forgiven your sins and be cleansed enough to get in.Actually, JC DID cover this:  He actually said: FIRST Change your ways, THEN ask for forgiveness AND THEN you'll get in.  But you HAVE TO stop doing bad first....So either Heaven lets everyone in or membership is limited.So, IS or is NOT and then Flexible or Rigid.  No matter what, as long as I follow JC I'm in.The Atheist?  Well, 50% there is a place and then 50% of that chance that you've followed all the requirements to get in, one of which was to believe.Opps!  That hurts!Atheist have a 25% chance of getting into an Existing Heaven is if it is also a Flexible one.A follower of JC?  Exist or not, believes will get in.  Exists then hopes they have followed God's Words enough to be worth.Huh.  Yeah, following JC gives you a MUCH better chance of getting in.  A good 100%.Anything else?  Then you have a about a 25% chance of getting in as an Atheist.  Which, if you consider JUST Heaven, those aren't bad odds.But then, if you throw in Hell ... Well, you'd better just hope that ghost of Grandma you saw after she died was just a false memory thingie and NOT an indication there is something BEYOND this existence.Just cross your fingers as the bus hits you.** I am Sielow and These are My Words

Heaven Knows Many Rules

One of the neatest things about being an Atheist is you can actually Do Any Damned Thing You Want!! -- as long as you don't get caught .

Sometimes, if you are rich enough or powerful enough, even if you do get caught, You Can Get Away With ANYTHING!

That's one of the draws to being an Atheist:  No Rules.

Or, rather, One-And-A-Half Rule:  1) Never get caught. 1.5) If you do get caught be Rich or Powerful Enough to get off without punishment!

It's also one of the draw backs of being a Christian.  You've got all these Rules and Requirements!  Don't do Evil.  Be Honest.  Turn the Other Cheek.

Honestly, how do Christians deal with all of this?

"What about Muslims and Jews???" you ask.

Did you know that both the Muslims and the Jews believe in the Ten Commandments?  The problem is they believe the Ten Rules ONLY apply to members of the Faith.  Sometimes they believe it only applies to members of one's tribe.  And, more often than can be believed, it only applies to one's family.

Yep.

Muslims, for example, believe all the Ten Rules are valid and should be enforced -- for any Believer in the Prophet, Blessed Be His Name.  But you are allowed to kill Infidels (non-Muslims).  God will separate the Good from the Bad after they are dead.

Jews are/were the same way.  Except Jews had requirements.  Moses, for example, would kick someone OUT of Judaism before having him Stoned.  In other cases, the Tribes were free cheat, murder and lie to other Tribes or Gentiles (non-Jews).

This was one of the reasons JC was unique in his philosophy.  He said something strange for the time and the place:  He advocated that the Ten Rules be applied to EVERY0ONE!  Jew, Gentile, EVERYONE!  No Murderin', Lyin', Cheatin' on ANYONE!  Even those NOT of the faith!

ARE YOU NUTS?  How can you treat EVERYONE like that?  As though God loves EVERYONE?

Sheesh!

The only downside of being an Atheist, I guess, is if you are wrong.  Also you only have a 25% of getting int Heaven.

If I were a Good Christian, I have a 100% chance of getting into Heaven.  Everyone else?  Less than.

Look, let's run the numbers:50% chance the afterlife exists, right?  it either does or it doesn't.  I happen to know it exists, but A) I have sources you don't and B) For all you know, I could be nuts.

If Atheists are right and it doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter to me because I get to assume I'm getting into Heaven and if nothing exists, then it doesn't matter.  I thought I was going to Heaven when I died.  The fact I did have a Heaven to get into is Null if nothing exists after life.

Now if Heaven DOES exist, there are two versions:

One version only those who are Good and Follow the Word(s) gets in and then there's the one that let Hitler and Stalin in*.

*Hitler is in his bunker.  Ava has taken poison and is dead.  He sitting there.  The Allies are almost upon him.  He takes his poison pill and suddenly realizes ALL THE EVIL he's done.  He quickly and honestly prays to God asking for complete and utter forgiveness for ALL his sins up to and including his own murder.  After saying "Amen" he's dead.

But because he confessed his sins, he's getting into Heaven.

-- *Same story for Stalin, but with different aspects.

Okay, so either Heaven lets EVERYONE who asks for forgiveness in or Heaven is where Judgement is rendered.

In the second version of Heaven you cannot rob a bank on Saturday and go to Church on Sunday and asked to be forgiven your sins and be cleansed enough to get in.

Actually, JC DID cover this:  He actually said: FIRST Change your ways, THEN ask for forgiveness AND THEN you'll get in.  But you HAVE TO stop doing bad first.

...

So either Heaven lets everyone in or membership is limited.

So, IS or is NOT and then Flexible or Rigid.  No matter what, as long as I follow JC I'm in.

The Atheist?  Well, 50% there is a place and then 50% of that chance that you've followed all the requirements to get in, one of which was to believe.

Opps!  That hurts!

Atheist have a 25% chance of getting into an Existing Heaven is if it is also a Flexible one.

A follower of JC?  Exist or not, believes will get in.  Exists then hopes they have followed God's Words enough to be worth.

Huh.  Yeah, following JC gives you a MUCH better chance of getting in.  A good 100%.

Anything else?  Then you have a about a 25% chance of getting in as an Atheist.  Which, if you consider JUST Heaven, those aren't bad odds.

But then, if you throw in Hell ... Well, you'd better just hope that ghost of Grandma you saw after she died was just a false memory thingie and NOT an indication there is something BEYOND this existence.

Just cross your fingers as the bus hits you.

LeBron James is starting to feel over the hump.

1) LeBron James is starting to feel over the hump. 2) LeBron checked his finances and found out he's not as rich as he assumed.  Discovered there were leeches on his finances. 3) Proof?  Watch him start to blow up, sky high, over incidental things ON THE COURT.  Someone will hand him the wrong (type) of water bottle, will hand him NOT his favorite towel.  He will explode. 4) Proof?  Watch him paying attention to his actions more during down time.  Trying to sell items for twice what they are worth but only getting 50% to 75% of their worth.  AND he'll take it -- fast. 5) Ever wanted a "LeBron" signed anything?  He's ready to deal.  Watch for more LeBron stuff to show up on eBay. 6) Watch for LeBron to run 90% of a game.  Ahead, behind, whatever.  He'll have excuses to sit down. 7) Watch for more fouling and being fouled from LeBron (see 6). 8) If you are into such things, watch for James to begin rotating through companions, both male and female.  He'll start to suspect people are just using him.  He'll distance himself from long time friends. 9) He'll go back to "the old neighborhood" a LOT more, especially during down times but you'll hear about him yelling at and getting red faced with the people in his old neighborhoods. 10) Time left?  Outside?  5 years.  Inside? 2 years. 11) After sitting out for a term, he'll come back better than ever ... for four to eight weeks and then suddenly sink -- badly. 12) Watch for him to commentate more.  Do booth interviews.   More interviews during practices.  LOTS more. I am Sielow, and these are my words.

Mankind Still Needs God, and He's Still Here

When they came to me and told me they needed no more God(s), I was skeptical.  There comes a time when this happens, but Humanity didn't seem ready for that stage.

"No, no," they assured me.  "I've grown.  I come so far.  I see stars.  I watch planets rotate.  I've measured light!  I'm a big boy!  Big girl!  I don't need God(s) any more!  I am mature enough to be my own God.  I can govern myself and be as great as God makes me."

Sighing, I agreed to take a chance.  "Okay," I said, "We can try it for a while.  But I think you are still a LONG way away from not needing God."

So We allowed them to be Atheist.  To be in charge of their own Morals, their own Judgements, their own Guidance.  (We allowed them the Chance to Resist their own Evils.)  We gave them the reins of the Horse, the keys to the Car, I left the House for a weekend.

Okay, to be honest, if I had Pelosi's priest, I wouldn't find a need to have a God either.  Any priest who would sell his God out for money and power deserves no God.  I won't say he sold his God to Pelosi, but I cannot tell you the number of times the Rectory has been "painted".  I cannot tell you the number of the number of retreats that have benefited from the that California's priest's presence -- far locations, too:  Sweden, Caribbean, ... But I drift.

Election times are known to Pelosi's priest by Pelosi's sudden devotion.  Elections are times to remind parishioner's, some parishioner's, that tithe's make the church function better.

So benediction is given, church directives are "over looked" and titles such as "Good Catholic" are bestrode to those who don't deserve in in God's Holy Eyes.

But I am no Judge.  That is for Later.  THAT is for Someone Else.

For now, We were assured that Mankind was past the point of needing Gods.

We allowed and discovered We were not given factual data.  Humanity is NOT ready for no God(s).  They still need Judgment Day.  They still need Eventual Destinations.

They still need Blessings and Damnation.

The actions of those who claim they have grown beyond God

Humanity still needs God.

Me?  I just smile and Serve.  When I am asked to Attend, I Attend.

But I also Hope.  Even when doing so is without Foundation.

This makes me a little sad.  You enjoy it when your Children, even by marriage, grow old enough to be out on their own.

You also get a little sad when you realize they may be retarded and never, EVER leave the House.

Pelosi's actions specifically and the actions of other Godless Ones show that Humanity still needs God.  She is just the latest to be of note.  There have been many, many others.  There are many, many others in Judgement, finding out that just because you deny God doesn't mean he's gone away.

And God will be here for as long as they need Him, no matter how little time they have left.

The Atheists have shown humanity cannot be Justice.  No matter what, Man needs God.

And that is fine.
