A RECIPE, MUSIC REVIEWS AND A NEW POEM; BUT FIRST, PICTURES!

 

 

Pictures from Colorado (More Pics on Barbara's site (blondeappocalypse (These Are the Ones She Wouldn't Publish (This is the Longest Title Ever)))):

 

 

southpark_bowl

Yes, there really IS a Southpark, Colorado.

I can't tell you where I did this, because the park authorities would never let me go back if they knew I did it.

 

 

 

Recipe:

 

Me and Barbara invented a new drink night before last.

It's called "Galt's Gulp" and here's how you make it:

1 can frozen margarita mixer

1/3 cup creme of cacao

5-6 regular sized icecubes

Put all of the ingredients through a blender.  The result is very cold, sweet and tangy with a chocolaty aftertaste.  Very nice.  I suspect it would be good with a teaspoon of vanilla, but I haven't tried that yet.

 

 

Music Reviews:

 

The new Sevendust CD, titled Chapter VII Hope and Sorrow represents a slightly more experimental Sevendust than its fans are used to.  Most metal bands tend to mellow and become more intellectual with age, and Sevendust is no exception. 

Sevendust is and always has always been hardcore and relatively experimental (in terms of harmonies and rhythms), but in the first part of they're career (from their beginning through the album, Next) they were more about harsh, adrenaline pumping, concrete smashingly heavy music than they were about experimentation, and the experimentation was always subject to making the music more striking; it was never an end unto itself.  Starting with Alpha, and even more so with their current album, experimentation becomes the end, not the means. 

Fans who loved the bloodthirsty rhythms of the old Sevendust, will not be disappointed by this album, but they will hear a little less of that, and a little more use of polytonality, octatonicism, chromaticism, and formal irregularities (such as the two minute long introduction to the first song). 

Welcome to the new Sevendust.

 

The new Disturbed CD, titled Indestructible shows a Disturbed that is even more polished and driven than the one we knew and loved in Ten Thousand Fists.  The songs are absolutely relentless in a way they've never been before.  There are no new tricks in this album, but there is a definite development of old ones. 

They've gotten really good at implementing rhythms that contrast with the meter.  They do this better in this album than they ever have yet to this point. 

David's voice has been developing more and more into an instrument, rather than merely a means to put words to music.  His voice has always been an integral part of their overall sound in a way that is rarely accomplished by rock bands (or any kind of musical group for that matter) because of his perfect pitch and because you can hear several overtones which makes his voice blend in well with the electric guitars and bass. 

This album is not anything new for these guys, but it is part of a continued improvement to what they already have, which has been pretty steady throughout their careers (with the possible exception of their second album, Believe, which mostly sucked (except, of course, for the songs Prayer and Rise, which are arguably their two best originals to date)). 

So expect more of the same from this album, but expect it to be better than ever.

 

The new Shinedown CD is... absolutely amazing.  The Sound of Madness exceeded what I thought this band was capable of, and since Leave a Whisper I had VERY high expectations for this band (which were somewhat disappointed by the overly radio-friendly Us and Them).

Where Shinedown was heavy in Leave a Whisper, they are devastatingly driven in The Sound of Madness.  Where they had been beautiful and pensive they are now excruciatingly beautiful.

Listening to the song, Devour, I can't help but think they may have learned a thing or two from Disturbed on rhythm, meter, tempo, and just overall violence of action.  And the truly great thing is that they lost none of their old personality.  This is still Shinedown, but Now They're Pissed! 

They've still got that trick of theirs where they change key mid-melody, and now it's even more surprising-yet-seamless than ever.

I really believe that in order to make this album happen the band members had to develop personally in a deep way.  You can tell they've taken a much more objective view of life than they had before (they even have a little tough love for their "loner" fans in their title track), and it seems they've found whatever it is they lost in Us and Them.  They seem to have really found themselves in big way, and I think they've grown up a lot, both personally and as a band.

But the bottom line is that The Sound of Madness is one of the best metal albums ever produced, and the members of Shinedown have reason to feel really good about themselves right now.

Long live Shinedown!

 

Theory of a Deadman's day in the limelight has been a long time coming.  With Scars and Souvenirs they've finally broken into the mainstream.  I don't know exactly how long they've been at this rock thing, but I do know they've been around since the first Spiderman movie (because they have a song on the soundtrack, which is how I heard about them in the first place).

Well, with their new hit songs Happy, and Bad Girlfriend, they've finally got some well deserved recognition for some seriously good alternative rock.

This album is about what I expected; it's not incredible, but it is well above par.  It's in the same basic genre ballpark as Puddle of Mudd, Seether and Alter Bridge.  In my personal opinion, these guys are better than Puddle of Mudd and Seether, but not quite as good as Alter Bridge.

My personal favorite off of this album is Sacrifice.

Now I can see it clearly,
Why you feel me;
Why you got to bring me down.
No I don't want to fight you
Just to spite you,
But I'm not afraid to take you out.

No I'm sorry to say,
There'll be no sacrifice today.

--Theory of a Deadman (Sacrifice)

Good shit. 

 

 

New Poem:

 

The two of us --
Modern Prophets
Of the day
After next;
We will stand
Strong and hard.
Our freedom grows
From broken shards.

This anthem we'll sing,
This, our jagged love song;
With unrelenting joy,
And savage cruelty,
We choose happiness!

You'd sacrifice us
In your bloodbath;
You evoke
Holy wrath.
Though we burn,
Flames reveal:
Men of iron,
Women of steel.

We are the reviled:
The pillars of this Earth.
So blame us for your sins!
We'll laugh as you are crushed
Under our blue skies.

Belittle us --
We'll still stand tall!
Break our legs --
We'll still crawl!
Break our hearts --
We'll still yell!
Destroy our lives --
We'll live to tell;

Of truth in ourselves,
Our overcoming love.
We know we're right,
And we'll go on fighting
Till the end of time.

Satanic Cults Within all Three of the World's Abrahamic Religions, and Why the Atheist Egoists Were Right

by Phil Cornell

 

Kind of a long bizarre title, I know.  Bear with me.

When I refer to "Atheist Egoists," I am speaking specifically about Rand and Nietzsche.

They both believed strongly in individual freedom and strongly opposed the altruistic moral code that most people (wrongly) associate with the true worship of the God of Abraham.

Altruism as a moral code did not originate with Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, although it is present as a philosophical ideal in the Koran.  Rather, altruism as a moral philosophy originated with Zoroastrianism, in Persia, which then ruled over Mesopotamia, i.e. Babylon. 

Bear these things in mind, as we examine the nature of Devil-worship.

In a conversation with Crackcannon (www.xanga.com/crackcannon) the subject of satanic cults within mainstream religion came up.  At one point, I said the following with regard to the nature of Satan and his followers:

"Honestly, the Bible doesn't really describe Satan as much as I would like it to.  God didn't exactly consult me when He wrote it. ;)  But it does say that he is the deceiver, the father of lies, the serpent, etc., and is in contrast to the values of truth, freedom, love, and light.  To truly understand his nature, you must observe the sort of people who are connected to him.  Baal is Satan.  The worshipers of Baal sacrificed children to their god, lied in order to kill or take advantage of innocent people who were in their way, and were generally bloodthirsty, maniacal, death mongers.  They were nihilistic punks.  Jesus told the Pharisees that they were "of their father, the Devil."  The Pharisees were Jewish religious fanatics who sought to use their religion in order to control the population, and did not exercise logic nor seek truth in the study of their religion ("you read the scriptures, yet you do not realize that they speak of Me").  So we know that the characteristics of true Devil worship are:

1.  An obsession with death and a disregard for human life.

2.  Nihilism of philosophy and practice.

3.  Abdication of reason.

4.  Tyrannical Collectivism; Population control.

5.  And finally, either:

     a)  Moral relativism, or else

     b)  Dogmatic adherence to moral rules, without examining them logically.

So if you see these things, it is likely that what you are actually witnessing is devil-worship."

First of all, I should probably point out why Baal is Satan:

"A derivative of Baal is Beelzebub which like Lucifer is another common name for Satan. Beelzebub means literally "lord of the flies" but it is suggested that this spelling is a derogatory play on the name Baal'zebul which means "Lord of the high places" or "exalted one"; much in the same way Hebrew scribes used "bosheth" (meaning shame [15]) to replace the prefix/suffix "baal" to denote its idolatrous roots."

(http://www.ridingthebeast.com/articles/lucifer/)

Next, I must demonstrate that the practices and/or theology of certain elements within Islam in particular, as well as Christianity and Judaism are consistent with Baal worship, which we have already shown to be Devil worship.

Let's do the religions in chronological order.

We've already seen that Judaism has elements of Satanism.  For one thing, Jesus condemns the Pharisees as being children of the devil.  Further, the Talmud, which was the true foundation of Pharisetical religious belief and practice (even more so than the Law of Moses) is Babylonian in its roots, rather than Biblical (meaning the law and prophets).  "Babylon the Great," in Revelation refers to the religion and government of the Antichrist, which derives, ultimately from Babylonian culture:

'Indeed, the Talmud is openly praised and revered as being Babylonian. And Kol Nidre is Babylonian Talmudic, finding its place among many other and similar dark things within that many-volumed and burdensome invention. If the Kol Nidre ever was a backward look over the failures of the previous year, it very early became a forward look to the deliberate deceptions of the coming year. Many explanations have been made in an attempt to account for this. Each explanation is denied and disproved by those who favor some other explanation. The commonest explanation of all is this, and it rings in the overworked note of "persecution." The Jews were hounded and harried by the bloodthirsty Christians. Many learned men want to have it understood that the Kol Nidre dates from the Spanish Inquisition, it having become necessary on account of all sorts of persecutions and inflictions to adopt the Christian religion for appearances sake.

Then the Jews in Spain, gathering in cellars to celebrate the Day of Atonement and pardon, composed a prayer that declared of no value all vows and oaths that they would be forced to make during the year...." "The learned men say, moreover, that in remembrance of those days when hundreds and thousands of Maranos (secret, Jews) were dragged out of the cellars and were tortured with all kinds of torments, the Jews in all parts of the world have adopted Kol Nidre as a token of faithfulness to faith and as self-sacrifice for the faith."

Those assertions are incorrect.  The fact is that the formula of Kol Nidre was composed on the night of Yom Kippur quite a time earlier than the period of the Spanish Inquisition. We find, for instance, a formula to invalidate vows on Yom Kippur in the prayer book of Rabbi Amram Goun who lived in the ninth century, about 500 years before the Spanish Inquisition; although Rabbi Amram's formula is not Kol Nidre, but Kol Nidrim:

"All vows and oaths which we shall swear from Yom Kippurim to Yom Kippurim will return to us void."

The form of the prayer in the matter of its age may be in dispute, but back in the ancient and modern Talmud is the authorization of the practice:

"He who wished that his vows and oaths shall have no value, stand up at the beginning of the year and say:

`All vows which I shall make during the year shall be of no value.....'"

"Pharasaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of names, inevitable adaption of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered."'

(http://www.fpp.co.uk/BoD/origins/Kol_Nidre_debate.html)

To demonstrate how intimately Babylon is associated with Devil worship, it is worth noting that Babylon itself, from its very beginning was FOUNDED on the worship of Baal:

""Bel" is translated with the titles "Lord" and "Baal". "Baal" is sometimes represented as "Ba-al". Babylon was a village in c2230BCE when Ur was a city. "Babylon", is the Greek rendition of the Hebrew word "Babel", and is translated as both "Confusion" and "Gate of Bel".
         The "Confusion" aspect is recalled in the story associated with the Tower of Babel and the confusion of languages. The following will explain the confusion.
         "Gate of Bel" translates as "Gate of the god Bel". Originally however, it would seem that Bel was not the name of the god. "Ba-bel" was confused with "Bab-il". They both sounded the same when spoken, as in the English word "babble", but when written down the name of the god was changed, with the result that the god "il" became known as the god "bel". Or perhaps it happened the other way round! "Ba-al" and "Ba-il" are one and the same, and "Bel" would appear to be a diminutive of these. However "El" is the Hebrew word for "God". "Ba-el" means "Gate of God" and "Bel" is also a diminutive of this. Like Baal and Bel, El was also associated with the bull. "Al", "il" and "el" are all references to the same god. The god "il" appears in the Mesopotamian legend of the Flood, the Gilgamesh Epic, as the Great God Enlil. "En" means "god". In a later group of Mesopotamian gods, Enlil was relegated to Lord of the Wind, and Lord of the Mountain. In Ancient Egypt the "Ba" was the Soul.
         Certainly our English word "babble" is indicative of the confusion. People do tend to babble on sometimes: "Babble on … Babylon"! Moreover a babbler is a person who tells secrets.
         The confusion was a deliberate attempt to maintain secrecy. It was a hoax, a jest, a whole load of bull! The truth is that from Baal and Bel is derived the English word "Bull". The Beltane Festival is the Bull Festival; the celebration of the Dawning of the Age of Taurus! The words "Bel", "Baal" and "Lord" are interchangeable. Indeed the words "Bel", "Baal", "Bull" and "Lord" are interchangeable. The Lord Baal, the Lord Bel and the Lord were all references to the Bull in the Age of Taurus when he reigned supreme in the Ages of the Equinoxes.

(http://ancientegypt.hypermart.net/beltanefestival/index.htm)

Phariseeism survives today in some of the more Orthodox Jewish traditions.

 

But that's not all.  The Jewish magical cult, "Caballah" also bears close examination in the exposition of this subject matter.  This religious practice involves exercising magic in the reading of the Torah and the Talmud (which we have already shown to be of Babylonian origin) in order to divine the coming of the messiah.  Only one problem.  The Bible proves over and over that Jesus Christ is the messiah of the Jews (http://www.konig.org/messianic.htm  http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/prophchr.html http://www.facingthechallenge.org/otprophet.php), so who is it, then that the Jews are really looking for?  Could it be anyone other than the Antichrist?!  Magic is invariably and by definition an occult activity, and occultism is strongly condemned by Mosaic law, so how can the practice of Caballah be consistent with the coming of the true messiah of Judaism?  And Caballah has produced false messiahs already, such as Jacob Frank (http://www.answers.com/topic/kabbalah).

I'm not 100% sure that Caballah is a Satanic Cult, but I am 80% sure.

For more on Caballah:

http://www.digital-brilliance.com/kab/faq.htm

 

 

In Christianity there are at least two major denominations (and probably many more) that worship the devil.  These two groups are the Catholics and, I'm sorry to say, the Mormons.

The Catholics are textbook cases of those who worship the evil one:

1.  In history they have repeatedly spread their religion through the use of force, torture, conquest, and ethnic cleansing, and they continue to do so to this day by political maneuvering.  (disregard for individual freedom and
human life)

2.  It is the catholics who first turned the worship of Jesus Christ into the cult of His execution. (obsession with death).

3.  The more "devout" Catholics still hold to the belief that the pope is infallible, in spite of contradicting papal decrees, such as their changing positions on the works of Galileo, evolution, etc.  (suspension of logical
validity; i.e. abdication of reason).

4.  Catholicism espouses the idea of original sin, which demonizes simple facts of human biology, and holds to the
ideals of altruism, AND they have practices whereby you must do penance for sin (nihilism of philosophy and practice).
 
5.  Many, MANY of their religious symbols, practices and ceremonies derive DIRECTLY from the religion of ancient Babylon (see "The Two Babylons" by Rev. Hislop)

 

It makes me sad to say that Mormons also engage in satanic practices.  I have not met a single Mormon I didn't like, and most of them are wonderful people.  However, the closer you get to their religious capital of Salt Lake City, the more clear and sinister the signs become, all the way up to the main temple itself, which sports inverted stars, all seeing eyes, Level and compasses, and various other satanic/masonic symbolism (modern freemasonry is about Baal worship (look into it)).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRgi0XT8Fg8&feature=related

Mormons outside of Utah tend to be wonderful people, which is why it makes me very unhappy to have to describe their religion in such unfortunate terms, but as come nearer to the center, the true colors of the religion become a little more apparent.  Insiders have described to me how non-mormons are persecuted there, and how the religious bureaucracy uses its influence to guide regional politics and does what it can to make Utah a theocracy.

Furthermore, if you research their texts, their luciferian beliefs become much more apparent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aiU3WmXQD4&feature=related

What's more, all of their historical claims have absolutely no archeological basis, which means that to be Moron you must abandon rationality; abdicate reason.

I'm sure there are probably other "Christian" sects which engage in satanic practices, but those are the two that I
Know of.

 

Last but CERTAINLY not least, we have the Muslims.  Now, in Islam, it is not the case that there are a few devil worshiping sects within it, but rather that Islam proper IS devil worship.  I realize that this is a very bold statement, but bear with me.

Let's start with the one symbol that is ubiquitous to Islam, as its official symbol: the crescent moon.  The crescent moon is not original to Islam, rather, as a symbol it signifies the Caananite moon god, "Allah," who is a deity "corresponding to the Babylonian 'Bel.'"

(http://ldolphin.org/morey.html, http://users.hubwest.com/prophet/islam/bloody.htm)

 

I really don't think any further proof is needed link Islam to Devil worship, but let's take a comparison of ancient devil worship and its modern Muslim manifestation:

 

1.  Obsession with death:

Muslims believe that the only guarantee of heaven is "martyrdom" -- i.e. kill youself and take as many innocent bystanders with you that you possibly can.

 

2.  Nihilism:

Islamic fundamentalism holds that anything not Muslim is to be subject to destruction.  Truth is subject to Islam; not the other way around.  This nihilistic to an extreme degree (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/548045/posts, http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3954).  Furthermore, as previously mentioned, suicide is encouraged in Islam.

 

3.  Abdication of reason:

See above.

 

4.  Tyrannical collectivism:

Not to insult the readers' intelligence, but for the record, it is a well known fact that Sharia law holds the individual inferior to the religious state, which exercises total control of the population (http://www.answers.com/topic/sharia).

 

5.  Dogmatism and/or relativism:

Islam is both dogmatic and relativistic.  It is dogmatic because the Koran is to be memorized by rote and followed to the letter, not subjected to logical thought.  It is relativistic because all human failures may be excused because God didn't "will" it (i.e., all human failures can be attributed to God), and heinous acts of rape and violence are excused in most muslim dominated societies (child molestation, a complete absence of womens' rights, whether or not a woman or child is killed or kept alive is up to his/her family, etc.).

 

Make no mistake:

ISLAM IS DEVIL WORSHIP, AND MUSLIMS ARE DEVIL WORSHIPERS.

 

 

So as you can see, within every single one of the worlds Abrahamic religions there are Satanic cults who are true to the traditions of ancient Baal worship.  Most of these people are not even aware that they are paying homage to the evil one, yet you can trace their symbols, practices and (most importantly) philosophical ideals all the way back to Babylon the Great.

We must rise above these evil religions and refine our values by subjecting them to the unyielding and uncompromising light of day that is logical truth.

Know this:

JESUS CHRIST IS A PHILOSOPHICAL EGOIST!

(see my post on the Gospel of Thomas)

This simple truth has been suppressed for millennia by the devil-worshiping religious fanatics posing as Christian teachers.

Overcome your pasts my brothers.

Be very, very angry for the freedoms that have been stolen from you.

Know your enemy.

Be ready for the war that is coming.

Barbara, you're going to love this:

'You will remember, dear reader, that I began this line of study with one simple question? Why was it the 17th person? I consulted various Bible scholars to consider their definitions as to the meaning of the number 17.

I found only one such scholar, and not a Message believer. He said the number 17 is a very special number in scripture and that it carries the same meaning as 7 as it is the seventh prime number. [Prime numbers carry a hidden meaning which is the same meaning as the number of their order in the list of primes.] This scholar said that 17 also carries the meaning of 8, as its "sum" is eight. [The sum of a number is the value of its digits: 1+7=8].

Numbers can also declare a meaning from their appearance or arrangement. For instance, 17 portrays the number 7 [perfection] standing before the number 1 [God.] As a prime number, 17 is divisible only by itself, so it speaks of single-minded worship of the one true God in His perfect order, or indivisible spiritual perfection before God. And its sum [8] portrays eternity - new birth and perfection of spirit - because this figure has neither beginning nor ending and initiates a new series (after seven).

This Bible scholar's most striking statement was: "17 is a number that is always present in scriptures in relation to the vindication of a prophet." And what did the seventh angel say?

This day this Scripture is Fulfilled, p. 19:153-154: Then consider. Now, I ask you at this hour, you people here at Jeffersonville, in 1933 the Supernatural Light that fell down yonder on the river that day when I was baptizing five hundred in the Name of Jesus Christ (I was about a twenty-year-old boy). What did It say, Jeffersonville? What was It t the foot of Spring Street there, when the Courier Journal (I think it was the Louisville Herald) packed the article, and it went plumb across the Associated Press, plumb into Canada. Dr. Lee Vayle cut it out of the paper way up in Canada in 1933. When I was baptizing my seventeenth person under this Witness (and you know the rest of the story), and when I was standing there baptizing that seventeenth person, a Light come down from heaven, a shining down above there like a star falling from heaven. A Voice said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first Coming of Christ, your Message shall forerun His second Coming into all the world." This day this Scripture is fulfilled".

I also discovered that in scripture the number 17 is associated with the appearance of an angel. There are 17 angelic appearances to men listed in the Word. Joseph had his first vision, vindicating him as a prophet at the age of 17. And tradition states that God vindicated Daniel, David, and Mary at 17. David's giant-killing is recorded in the seventeenth chapter of the Book of Kings. Rain vindicated Noah seven days after God closed the door of the ark on the 17th day of the fifth month. It grounded on the 17th day of another month. The 17th Book of scripture is Esther which speaks of the vindication of a bride. When a prophet is vindicated the number 17 is always in evidence."'

UPDATE LETTER #5:

 

Well guys, I'm coming home for a little while.  In a few minutes I'll have to pack up my computer, and then I'll be offline for a few days at least.  I know, I know, you're all devastated.

Be that as it may.

Huge annoyance this weekend.  I was checking out with the XO, and at the last minute I had to cancel my weekend plans, because I can't leave until I've cleared post, and the only reason I can't clear post is because some dude who only works for a few hours, four days a week has my paperwork, and even though I have his office number, I can't make special arrangements, because there's a little piece of paper that he has to put a stamp on before I leave, so I can come back and give the exact same paperwork to him.  Ridiculous.

I think as soon as I get back I'm going to invest in a bike (even though my bikes always end up getting trashed (because I like riding them as fast as I can sitting up straight without touching he handle bars (and so every few days or so I end up eating shit in a big way (and breaking something off of the bike)))).  I need something that I can use to rebuild my endurance without putting too much pressure on my still partially healed legs (you don't get a whole lot of downtime in infantry school).

I have to come back to Ft. Benning for more school, but fortunately I'll have a few weeks to be at home.  I'll probably spend them with Barbara, Troy, my parents, and my friends from Huntsville, Houston, and Dallas.

On a spiritual note, I have lately been trying to discover the connection between the exercise of the spirit (both of the Christian and Occult types) and results in the limited spectrum of reality sensed by human organs. 

The fact is that man's five senses are extremely limited in gathering direct information about the universe; they only sense a minuscule range of energy frequencies that constitute only a tiny fraction of everything that is going on in the universe.  In other words, modern physics tells us that for all intents and purposes, men are literally deaf and blind in terms of the totality of physical reality (although I maintain that physical reality is the only reality). 

I believe that within the enormous spectrum of reality that we cannot hear or see (but can scientifically deduce) there live actual physical beings whom we know of as angels and demons, as well as an overall consciousness which is comprised of the universe as a whole, Who is Jehovah God.

I further believe that when we pray, and when worshipers of Baal (who is Satan) conduct their religious ceremonies, we literally interact with these "spiritual" beings by using an organ that is capable of tapping into some part of the universe which is beyond human sight and sound that we share in common with angels, demons, and God Himself (although the last redundant; God is the sum of all things, so everything we do is an interaction with God on some level).

The question is, what happens to us when we interact with these beings, and by what means do they affect our lives, and the universe in general?

And with that thought, I will temporarily end this series of letters.  I will resume this series upon my return to Ft. Benning.
