Commented on Goldwag: Cranks, Curiosities, and the Process Church
Didn't most everyone sue Ed Sanders? OTO, Scientology, Process etc. I remember Hans Holzer's "The New Pagans" had a great early write-up on both The Process and the offshoot, "The Foundation". The later seems to get overlooked....
Commented on Goldwag: I Was A Teenaged Straussian
Pike is a neat guy, but he acquired a do it yourself fraternity in a box, which is what the AASR was, via Morin, who had a charter from the "Council of the Emperors of the East and West" IOW,...
Commented on Goldwag: I Was A Teenaged Straussian
Goldswag: "The Masons borrowed the idea of exoteric and esoteric texts from Kabbalah" Masons were Companies and Guilds for quite some time before any Judaic texts were being widely read in Europe, and seemed to have a deep understanding of...

Commented on Burning Man Responds to EFF over fair use and photo rights attack
Everyone put their Comic Con photos on flicker, lots of Youtube clips Press releases were easily acquired if you bothered, people wanted to be seen and love any publicity for whatever they have to offer. There are some issues about...
Commented on Burning Man Responds to EFF over fair use and photo rights attack
Earlier this summer 200 thousand plus people went to Comic Con, lots of scantily clad people, and lots of photography, no one cared. Comic Con Inc didn't make us sign a waver(at least I don't think so). BM seems corporate,...
Commented on BB Video: Xeni with Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh (pt 1)
Isn't Comic Con supposed to be for comicsbooks? The mission creep is really becoming noticable. Movies and TV should get their own Convention. Boosh is OK, but most of the BBC America lineup is a running joke as to how...
Commented on Gap founder's amazing art collection may leave San Francisco
The Getty or the Crocker? I think it's a bit too shlocky for anywhere else. So this is why we pay so much extra for jeans and T-shirts? The Gap also owns Old Navy and used to own Bannana Republic...
Commented on Astonish Yourself: 101 Experiments in the Philosophy of Everyday Life
Astonish Yourself is great, yeah. And when your kids get a little older they can read one of Rogers other Books-"The Cult of Nothingless", which is about Buddhism in the hands of deranged Western Thinkers like Hegel, who reportedly used...

Commented on Heinlein's house for sale
Call, email, and if possible, demand a tour of the place. Take the opportunity to get a few photos. This property should be recreated in "Second Life", and used as a terrain in various Shooter video games. "As you enter...
Commented on Harry Potter: Zionist Conspiracy to Promote Witchcraft and Satanism???
Witchcraft comes from the Kabbalah? I do know that a large chunk of Ceremonial Magick and Astrology came from Arabic sources. THE PICATRIX- Ur grimiore of of medieval magic. There were these people called the Harranians from before the Hejira,...
Commented on Customizable shipping container for the Caribbean
You are structurally limited to this oblong box, and when you start poking holes in it, you lose strength. Ferrous metal conducts: heat, cold, voltage, and it rusts. To make a comfortable home you'd need 3 of them, and when...
Commented on Our Food is Full of Crap. Also, Rodent Hair, Mildew, and Bugs.
Every time I leave flour or pancake mix for more than a year, I open the package to find lavae wiggling around, or their corpses if the air has been consumed. That would indicate that bug eggs are universally part...

Commented on Shoe site Zappos.com will start selling gadgets, too
Zappos and most every other online retailers don't inform us where they are made. This is an advantage for marketeers with products from undesirable places like China. They get to hide the origin until it arrives. One's only option is...
Commented on Gary Wolf profiles Ray Kurzweil in Wired
In fifty plus posts, no one asks exactly what vitamins/herbs/drugs is he taking? I can recognize some of them. He has the glucosamine et al, a bunch of fish and/or flaxseed oil gels, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, Acetyl l-Carnitine. It...
Commented on In the age of ebooks, you don't own your library
I like the idea of being able to have 100's of titles on hand, but the silliness of these products and the codes of usage make them undesirable. These aren't designed by people who understand the psychology of "book people"....
Commented on Lego arms-dealer
The german helmets look like Civil War kepis. Without fylfots, they remind me of the uniforms from Verhoven's "Starship Troopers", which also had a thinly veiled National Socialist aesthetic. I still have the much more realistic figures included from the...
Commented on BD+: Blu-ray's Last DRM Defense
Blu Ray wins? I don't buy any Blu Ray discs, none of my friends buy any, and we say bad things about it. Where is the Blu Ray porn (the canary in the coalmine of widely accepted profitable formats)? The...
Commented on Paranoia magazine in Washington Post
Here's a chain for the paranoid: Tuesday Weld starred with Martin Mull in "Serial" circa 1980. Martin Mull is the brother of Anodea Judith, who is(or was) a High Priestess in the "Church of All Worlds", a neo Pagan group...

Doc commented on Goldwag: I Was A Teenaged Straussian
I, too, was a teenaged Straussian, student of a Straussian professor (who went on to found the think tank in Israel that issued the report people allege set Bush's foreign policy in the direction of attacking Iraq). One day after class he asked me what I was making of Strauss and Voegelin. I said I was wary of Voegelin but Strauss seemed more straightforward (we were studying Natural Right and History at the time). The prof told me that Strauss was the one who should make me wary. I didn't figure out until a few years later how right he...
the_headless_rabbit commented on Goldwag: Cranks, Curiosities, and the Process Church
I believe industrial band Skinny Puppy released an album in 1996 called "The Process" that was supposed to be concept album about "the process church" of course, trying to decipher Ogre's lyrics is near impossible, so the only thing that really gives away the album's theme is the title....
redhawk2007 commented on Goldwag: I Was A Teenaged Straussian
Bogus accusations of anti-Semitism are one of the principle weapons the neocons use to silence their critics. If there were no Jewish neocons, it would have been necessary to invent them. There is nothing anti-Semitic in pointing out the underlying fascism in neocon thought and behavior. There is no ideology within recent memory that matches neconservatism so well as fascism and indeed, its virulent Nazi strain. Many neocons, like Michael Ledeen, are open admirers of fascism and he has written books and articles praising it....
Antinous / Moderator commented on Goldwag: I Was A Teenaged Straussian
None of those ideologies are mutually exclusive. For instance, you do not have to be anti-Semitic to criticize Israel, but critics of Israel are often anti-Semites. I use the ban-hammer pretty regularly on anti-Semitic commenters, not because of ideological rigidity on my part, but because I check their links and find grossly anti-Semitic propaganda. There may be bogus accusations, but there are a hell of a lot more correct ones....
