My god, genetically enginerred death. Like I said, they're smart buggers. Well, BC, although I'm not sure you understood what I said- and I may have worded it poorly- I think you have a point. Go do something. I mean, we can talk all day about Rex Mundi and global tke-over, but that doesn't do anything to stop it. So, if you honestly feel that there's a problem, stop it.
But you still might be part of a global consperacy. Scum. Nice comment Quantum, but I'm not from Jerusalem. Sorry.

14:17 / 19.05.03

Spyder: Go do something.

Excellent slogan, Spyder. You don't mind if I use it in various media outlets I have lined, do you?

Although this thread, and what I am attempting to do here, might come across to you as hamfisted, this is doing something -- for one, accompanying and explaining to people who are sensing more since this month started -- and this is also to expand some people's horizon's a little bit. As for my personal life, always.

Not to the extent as is preferrable, but I need to be in a larger group of likeminded friends - something I am working for - in order to do more.

Really, excellent slogan ...

No offense BC, but I'm not a she, I'm a he (yes, I am aware that Sypha is a girl's name). I just wanted to clear that up.

What's all this about not drinking milk, eh? I mean, calcium is important. And what the hell is OBL?

14:25 / 19.05.03

Ever since I've realized I suffer anxiety attacks I've had a new outlook on life. Namely, I try not to worry about the future any more. Whenever I do, I just go look at my cat, who can usually be found lying on his back, stomach exposed, eyes shut, lying in the sun fully stretched out, not a care in the world except food, sleep, and affection. I think I'd like to come back as a cat one day. He doesn't care about politics or world events or death or religion or magic, he just simply exists for the moment.

Sypha Nadon: What's all this about not drinking milk, eh? I mean, calcium is important. And what the hell is OBL?

Sorry for the gender mix up.

In old Sanskrit, soma is the name for milk because of the ability to make your brain go to sleep; it's a sedative ... Not only that, it's an addiction-making sedative ... For more (about calcium, cancer, etc.) go

OBL is Osama Bin Ladin.

Whenever I do [= suffer anxiety attacks], I just go look at my cat,

That is the holy connection we have with animals, Sypha, not only are their senses keener than ours in so many regards, but they also have the ability to reset our worried state; simply pet their heads, especially their 3rd eye areas, for a common benefit, as they make your worries disappear, so are they reset.

Sypha, I hope you understand that I am not investing so much time here, in order to scare; a fear-mongerer I most definetely am not ... Fear is a lower frequency that keeps you from growing ... And you should find solace in the fact that what has happened to you, me and a large group of others, is what is needed to avoid harmful events ...

Sincerely,

-- BC.

Did you ever manage to interest anyone in researching the calcium/osteoporosis thing, BC?

15:07 / 19.05.03

You are asking the wrong person. The Wai Says site has a forum where you can receive an answer to your question.

You're all wrong. The real terrible May disaster is me getting pissed off about failing this job interview I had today, and deciding to go totally darkvandal and massacre everybody in the world who fucking pisses me off!

AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And in three pictures bio k9 condenses everything that's been said on this post. wow. BC, I'm glad you like what I said. I just get pissed off when people whine about problems and then sit and do nothing. Whether or not I agree with what anyone says, if they don't do anything then they're just causing the problem to escalate, regardless of what it is. At least, that's what I think.

11:54 / 25.05.03

Chrome (aka whoever else): In old Sanskrit, soma is the name for milk because of the ability to make your brain go to sleep; it's a sedative ...

Em, no it's not.

Soma is a word that crops up a lot in the vedas, certainly, but it has nothing to do with "milk". It is the food of the gods (giving them their immortality) and is a euphoric drug from a plant source, not a sedative. It was perceived to have very positive medicinal effects.

Perhaps you are getting it muddled with Aldous Huxley's fictional soma in Brave New World?

Also, the fact that the cow is sacred to Hindus (as the embodiment of the goddess Lakshmi) might hint at the unlikeliness of the derivation and connotations you suggest.

Me, I don’t drink milk. But not for linguistic reasons.

12:15 / 25.05.03

Spyder: That weird headache thing happened again on the 23rd...

I felt supercharged. During a conversation with RRM, found out she was too.

12:21 / 25.05.03

Xoc,

Remember, it's all about linguistics -- you wouldn't believe how much has been changed from their original meanings and descriptions ... Luckily, ms. RRM & I have a habit of finding people who can trace back words to their original meaning. So, in order to find out how much, you have to look at old, old, old dictionaries.

A clever, knowledable mind came with this example:

Africa from the arabic 'ifriqqiya' from the root 'faraqa' which means ‘to divide and separate’.

You see?

13:02 / 25.05.03

Would these be "woodlore folk"?

More constructively, perhaps, is there any chance of namechecking these Wise Ones or the "old, old, old dictionaries"?

13:50 / 25.05.03

So words can mean anything you want them to, even if it makes nonsense of the Hindus' ancient holy texts? You really do live Through The Looking Glass.

There are many good and convincing (and well researched) reasons to abjure dairy products. Why on Earth do you need to invent spurious ones?

06:08 / 26.05.03

BC, our dark son, can you please put on some brighter clothes. At least pretend there is some light in your world. If its not coming from you how can you expect it to shine from anywhere else. Your putting very low expectations on your personal reality experience, y'know.

Even if grand conspiracies pull strings in secret rooms of unknown stone buildings we can alway make fart jokes and prove darkness is boring...

Lets huggle!!!! eeeeeeeee!!!!!

08:42 / 26.05.03

All this conpiracy stuff's a load of boosh. Sure, there are odd little groups that fuck about in the darker reaches of the government; Watergate, JFK, P2 etc...But the very fact that all these conspiracies have been exposed to varying degrees suggests they don't control the world. Remember Saul's speech in the Illuminatus! trilogy: if they really did control everything, either they'd be more famous than Keanu, or we'd never hear of them at all. And they're not either of those.

I always saw the lizardman conspiracy as a pretty heavyhanded allegory of the fact that we are all ruled by territorial politicians who manipulate (and are manipulated by) the reptile brain, rather than basing our politics on the higher neurological circuits.

Oh, and btw, I now have a damn good job, which I wouldn't have had if I'd passed that interview last week. So the massacre has been cancelled. Hurrah!

We found a flyer for a David Icke speech last night - offering 6 hours of Icke for £22.50 - bargain. What was lovely about it was that the side which didn't have the picture of Icke, the details and so on had a big design of a circuit board, with Saddam, Blair, Bush and so on located around it, and at the centre....a lizard. A clip art lizard. Bee-yootiful.

11:08 / 26.05.03

Me tink a link to this essay might be hepful.

Finally, for conspiracy theorists conspiracies are not simply a regular feature of politics whose importance varies in different historical contexts, but rather the motive force of all historical change and development. The conspiratorial group can and does continually alter the course of history, invariably in negative and destructive ways, through conscious planning and direct intervention. Its members are not buffeted about by structural forces beyond their control and understanding, like everyone else, but are themselves capable of controlling events more or less at will. This supposed ability is usually attributed to some combination of demonic influence or sponsorship, the possession of arcane knowledge, the mastery of devilish techniques, and/or the creation of a preternaturally effective clandestine organization. As a result, unpleasant occurrences which are perceived by others to be the products of coincidence or chance are viewed by conspiracy theorists as further evidence of the secret workings of the conspiratorial group. For them, nothing that happens occurs by accident. Everything is the result of secret plotting in accordance with some sinister design.

Personally, I can't stand all the stuff that Chrome is putting out. As the essay link indicates, this sort of bollocks takes away from any serious attempt to investigate conspiracies that do occur ie. I suspect there was a serious abuse of democracy around the American preseidental elections, which has largely slipped under the radar. To go off into a paranoid anti-world where "it's in the milk" and padeophiles can be detected telepathically muddies the waters and discredis any serious research or investigation into these areas.

Seriously, Chrome what is the qualative difference between the ideas your trying to propagate and the multitude of other paranoid fantasies we've had over the ages, blaming the Jews/Masons/Catholics/Communists/Satanists? Oh, I forgot - you're right. Silly me.

11:41 / 26.05.03

From the above, probably the most salient point:

"However that may be, real covert politics, although by definition hidden or disguised and often deleterious in their impact, simply do not correspond to the bleak, simplistic image propounded by conspiracy theorists. Far from embodying metaphysical evil, they are perfectly and recognizably human, with all the positive and negative characteristics and potentialities which that implies. At the most basic level, all the efforts of individuals to privately plan and secretly initiate actions for their own perceived mutual benefit --insofar as these are intentionally withheld from outsiders and require the maintenance of secrecy for their success--are conspiracies. Moreover, in contrast to the claims of conspiracy theorists, covert politics are anything but monolithic. At any given point in time, there are dozens if not thousands of competitive political and economic groups engaging in secret planning and activities, and most are doing so in an effort to gain some advantage over their rivals among the others."

It's changed it's name again! Again, I tell you! After I just nominated it for an award! Damn it's eyes! I'm so angry I may have no other choice than to misuse the possessive apostrophe in order to grab hold of it and use it to club the damn thing into static non-fluid-identity death! God damn you, sir! God damn your eyes!

A-hem.

I think we're all being a little too blase, though, in dismissing the conspiracy's mastery of devilish abilities. Let us not forget that, however much one may gainsay the existence of the vast monolithic conspiracies, we will always have conspiracies which misuse their mastery of devilish abilities, and the only thing that has kept our civilisation intact so far is the fact that the conspiracies which possess mastery of devilish abilities have yet to form an alliance with the conspiracies which possess legions of infernal machines...

21:47 / 26.05.03

at least these clothes are brighter. There's hope...

12:54 / 27.05.03

Okay, last posting on this thread, as any advancement from certain posters is lacking. It's allright, it's okay, I can live with your choices, as they're your individual own.

Xoc De Niro (& Ganesh), I'm sorry, I see no point in trying to educate you. I still say, you have it wrong, and have not dug deep enough. But your individual choices, as they have been since the very beginning. If you really were so serious in discrediting me, you would have made a grander effort than this 3-way linking process that I have no even bothered looking at -- remember, our paths are wildly different for now, and perhaps forever, so I see no point in iterating, and re-iterating some things which should have stuck in your spine now. Soma, you are wrong -- but your choices if you want to stop with what you have found. Old, old, old dictionaries -- why don't you search for yourself?

After all, this is not the first time linguistics have been crept in into the discussion at hand.

If you do, all the best, if you don't, all the best.

Y' know, I stick my head in once a month or so, to see whether things have improved any around here.

This thread answers my question.

See you in two months. Maybe.

Well, we're getting near to the end of the month, so what do people think of Reformed Dark Laila's Robot Chrome of the Dark Side of the Sun's warnings of horrible gooey pain that started this thread off?

I do have to come down on the side of the 'full of it' vote. Partly because of previous and partly because vague apocalyptic rumblings of doom fail to convince in a universe where something appropriately nasty can be guarenteed to come up at least once every thirty days.

Etymology, actually. Specifically, the etymology of Soma. Which we're still waiting to hear justified in any way, shape or form. It's this kind of "I could tell you but I choose not to/ your earthling brain is not ready/ if I did the lizards would be able to track me" stuff that really damages your credibility, BC.

19:13 / 27.05.03

why don't you search for yourself?

Nice. I'm sticking that in the next bibliography or references list I have to compile.
