John Edwards for President 2008.


bush is crazy

with the newly elected Democratic Congress, a fellow like Edwards could get America headed in the right direction... Better than Jeb...

Shouldn't we have MAJORITY RULE ELECTIONS FOR PRESIDENT ? It just seems right that the Presidential candidate that gets the most votes should win... Well, we don't have that system. Our Electoral College system allows a loser to become 'resident... AL GORE GOT MORE VOTES THAN GEORGE BUSH. We are all so very sorry now... The ELECTORAL CONGRESS FLUNKED OUT. We wouldn't be in such a mess today if that ancient system hadn't let THE SUPREME COURT appoint the 'resident... Repeal the Electoral College System... an idea whose time has passed...

COMPLETE TEXT of a newspaper article I wrote...
US Army creates "shoot 'em up" Video Game - Your Tax Dollars at Work - Outrageous! Taking advantage of teenagers. An example of MIND CONDITIONING by repeated exposure to gore.

Eureka Peace March 2006 Dixieland Band Why do we love Eureka, California ?

Well, as shown in the picture, the people here are TALENTED, GOOD LOOKING AND SMART.

Some people are EASILY FOOLED and can be Mislead by US Government Propaganda... But Not the People of Eureka ! We refused to believe the Lies told by the Evil BusH. We have Had Huge turnout of protesters at all of the Peace Marches... 3,000 people showed up to protest the insane War in IRAQ before it even started... That's about 10% of the total population... Nobody believed the hoax of WMD nor the NIGERIAN YELLOWCAKE forgeries... Phoney-Baloney CIA Intel reports FOOLED the Chumps that work in the US Congress.

There are two REQUIRED parts to the Lies our 'resident tells... In order for the deception to work, not only does he have to tell the lies but GULLIBLE FOOLS have to BELIEVE THE LIES TOLD TO THEM. Here in Eureka, we say "Shame on you Mr. 'Resident, SHAME ON YOU"

latest count of IRAQWAR casualties


Harry Belafonte called George Bush the "Worlds Worst Terrorist" and now King George the Second can rightfully claim the title... He has succesfully killed more Americans than died in the airplane crashes into the World Trade Center on 09/11/2001... If you count the dead Anericans from flight 93 in Pennsylvania AND the missle attack on the Pentagon on the same day, King George the Second has gone OVER THE TOP !!! AND he just keeps on killing... 2772 by October 17th 2006... 3017 on January 13th 2007... Damn, the body-count just keeps on growing with no end in sight...

American Type Culture Corporation actually sold Saddam ANTHRAX... Their position was, they didn't do anything wrong, the shipment was approved by the US Government... Read More...
republicans caught in the act Does the NSA wiretapping and spying on Americans make you feel warm and cuddly ? What about Depleted Uranium ? Isn't it making American Soldiers Sick ?

Impeach Bush before he destroys western civilization


We can thank George Bush for one thing... DOUBLING GASOLINE PRICES... That makes Ethanol and Biodiesel more competatively priced. If George can just get gas to $5.00 a gallon... what a wonderful world it would be... GO ! GO ! GO ! Who benefits from the war profiteering of gasoline ? Sure, EXXON, Mobil and Chevron get record profits, but THE US GOVERNMENT GETS RECORD TAX PAYMENTS FROM THOSE CORPORATIONS. Basic criminology says... follow the money.

An in depth study of the video game and programming minds of teenagers to KILL, KILL, KILL is located here. The basic idea is to brainwash teenagers to do the Army's bidding. It is very effective. 85% of the soldiers in Iraq believe that the reason that they are there is to punish Saddam for 9/11... Among civilians the fact that Saddam had nothing at all to do with 9/11 is common knowledge. Within the military, they train their soldiers to believe in a fantasy world. George Orwell's book explains a lot of what is happening now. Recommended reading for all.


what the UN press conference would have looked like if Colin Powell hadn't covered up Guernica while trying to sell Iraq invasion. When Colin Powell made a speech to the U.N. trying to get other nations to join the coalition, he made them cover "Guernica" with a curtain so that no one would think about burning civilians when he was promoting the War in Iraq . Here is what the TV image at the press conference would have looked like. I liked his Pottery Barn Rule... You break it, you bought it... Sadly, we bombed Iraq and destroyed their electric, water, phone and sewage systems... and now OIL EXPORTS are half what they were before we blew the place up... opium production is twice what it was before we invaded Afghanistan... Cheap heroin and millions of new addicts... just another collateral damage from the War of ERROR.


King George the Second will have all of Eternity to ponder the commandment Thou Shalt Not Kill faked photo of Bush and Jack Abramoff Here is the "photo" King George the Second does not want YOU to see... "I DON'T KNOW JACK" sez da bush...
I wonder if God really told Bush to Smite Saddam... Maybe he just forgot to take his meds that day... Little voices inside his head telling him to kill people... Voices that no-one else can hear... sounds like Schizophrenia to me. George will have all of Eternity to ponder the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill" while he swims in a lake of FIRE.

The picture changes constantly to reveal new combinations of swirling colors that ebb and flow... What a wonderful world we live in nowadays... When I was a young man, a person had to EAT Psychedelic Herbs in order to see Visions like these... With the Digital Age, we can just write a program to do our Hallucinating FOR US... I will admit to one fact0life... back in the 1960s and 70s when they advertised a MULTI-MEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA, they delivered a LOUD ROCK BAND, squishy water LIGHT SHOW, Dancing, and Illegal Drugs... Nowadays we have tiny computer screens with "trippy" graphics and "tiny" speakers... I think that what MULTI-MEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA has come to mean in 2006 is rather wimpy... However, there still are places where you can get the entire experience... the "Rainbow Gathering" is a camping trip that is RATHER COSMIC... Another place to look is "Burning Man"...

rainbow gathering 2004

What IS the Rainbow Gathering? To me, it is Woodstock with amateur musicians and I'm in the band... Thousands of people go backpacking for a couple of weeks... Every year during the end of June and the beginning of July... The location is different every year but it is always in a National Forest... See you next year!

link to me singing the Jeweled Lotus song ... and silly guru tales
link to more photographs of the Rainbow Gathering...SET ONE
*** SET TWO photos...*** SET THREE photos...*** SET FOUR photos...***
visit my other site for even more Rainbow Gathering Pictures!
The gathering was south of Alturas and north of Susanville (WAY out in the boondocks!)... The site had sagebrush everywhere and quaking aspen groves... I saw a group of 20 horses running wild just for fun... no saddles or people, just horses enjoying the summertime... This years gathering had a HUGE quantity of people and dogs... the tents extended for five miles... I read in a newspaper article that 16,000 people attended... I spent an afternoon at Ram Dass' tent. He was talking to people and there was a constant line of "pilgrims" that wanted a personal audience... Many acoustic guitar players wanted to sing him a song... I was not moved to chat with Ram Dass but sat in his campsite and enjoyed the company of the people sitting next to me. They were doing therepudic massage. A husband and wife were allowing people to heal themselves... The healer kept on telling his patients that his art was a cooperation between the patient and the healer and that together, they could make the patient better... I could see the difference between the people before and after... They looked MUCH better after... Since this is close to San Francisco, there were many very brightly clothed gay people... There was a lightshow parade on July 4th... the technology of superbright LED and cyalume lightsticks made the night come alive with twinkling colors... I danced with a blue and green LED on a shoelace to create circles of color in the air... "GO, blacklightman! GO! said the crowd... Many people played the drums around campfires...ALL NIGHT LONG... Since it was cold at night, I spent 3 nights playing drums around the campfire and my days were spent napping or just sitting around... At "Dundun village" there were firedancers that spun 4 foot long batons with the ends blazing with camp fuel... this causes a big ball of fire to spin around and create visual circular patterns... they also had jugglers that played with fire... See the pictures called "SET ONE" "SET TWO""SET THREE"or "SET FOUR" for closeups of the drummers and dancers... a very long description of my experience at the gathering is here

Here is a link to another website written by someone else about the gatherings... including music... http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/7393/rainbow.html

WONDERFUL PICTURES BY Tristan Savatier This person did a great job of documenting the 2004 gathering... including climbing up on top of the mountain to get overhead shots... AND pictures of the firedancers at night...

THE GOLDEN SPOON OF MONTEZUMA... When Cortez arrived in Mexico, he was interested in GOLD. He also wanted to impress the people he met with how rich and powerful his KING was. He told an Indian that his King was so rich that he used a golden spoon for EVERY meal and then discarded it after he was done. His King was so rich that he could afford to THROW AWAY gold. The Indian was not impressed. The indian said that HIS King was so rich that he could afford to use a NEW GOLDEN SPOON for EVERY BITE! How was this possible? Well, Montezuma used TORTILLAS for a spoon. He would scoop up his food using a tortilla chip (golden spoon) and so he used a new "golden spoon" for each bite. I love telling this story when I'M eating Mexican food at a restaurant.
