‘God gave us Israel, all of it’ | Along the Green Line: Episode 1
We deserve this land because of Hitler. Help us.
(The Guardian) Zionist Israeli Jews are racists aided and abetted by Zionist American Christians? Could be. Evangelical Republicans and others will do anything anyone tells them the Bible says they are ordered to. When God is your real estate agent, you can lord over the "holy" land and take all of it from the indigenous inhabitants. You may be an Ashkenazi All-European, but just claim Jewish ancestry in any amount, any bloodline, and the land is here for you to steal. Many CIA agents in cubicles worked very hard, almost as hard as the public relations agents, Mossad, Shin Bet, and IDF propagandists have worked to make the whole world believe it.
(Sky Life) Is Sky Life is scatter brained nut...or an intrepid female explorer on a mission to understand what we are all curious about but don't have the guts to investigate? She goes to Airport Mesa then the Chocolate Tree vegetarian restaurant, which leads her to Swami Sankarananda from the local Divine Grace Yoga Ashram ("place of austerity"), where she tries to see fairies in addition to vortices. Native guide Rohelio Rodriguez helps her out.
If Bridget Nielsen were here, she'd say this was quite possible, too!
Would Alan Watts approves of such searching?

San Andreas fault's weird behavior: The Big One might be close
(Insane Curiosity) Sept. 13, 2024: The San Andreas fault is one of the largest and most important geological faults in the world. Throughout history, it has been the origin of earthquakes that have caused much destruction and have claimed the lives of thousands of people from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
Today, this crack exhibits unusual activity, which some scientists think could indicate the dreaded "Big One" will occur soon. Where and when could this event occur? Let's find out!
00:00 Introduction
00:20 What is the San Andreas fault, and how did it originate?
3:04 Why is this geological fault dangerous?
4:18 Past earthquakes due to the San Andreas fault
7:40 When and where will The Big One take place?
10:38 How to prepare before this happens
What is the San Andreas fault, and how did it originate?
There will be a lot more gold nuggets afterward
This fault is one of the world's most prominent and studied geological features. Why is this geological fault dangerous? The San Andreas fault's influence on California's seismic activity is not limited to the region directly adjacent to it. It is part of a more extensive, complex system of geological faults running through California.
Past earthquakes due to the San Andreas fault
Throughout California's history, the San Andreas fault has been responsible for several major earthquakes, some of which have caused considerable devastation. The deadliest so far was:
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake: This shaker occurred on April 18 of that year with an estimated magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale.
When and where will The Big One take place?
The region's geological history, combined with the patterns of seismic activity observed in the past, suggests that it is only a matter of time before the San Andreas fault produces another earthquake of great magnitude.
Nisei Week Japanese Festival just wrapped up in Los Angeles. Then the Nippon-mania began. Formosa (Taiwan) must be jealous. Player Shohei Ohtani came to the USA to teach Americans how baseball is played. The Dodgers bought him (price tag ~$700 million) to come make millions for Los Angeles. And, boy, is he ever paying off! He high fives his dog, Decoy, hits homers for the massive viewing audience across the sound in Tokyo, Waikiki, and up the way in San Francisco.
LA, like Japan, is in the ring of fire quake zone
Is there still a remnant population of railroad builders and Zen practitioners (Shinto worshippers) in that Central California concentration camp (Manzanar) from The "Good" War (WWII) when Japanese Americans were rounded up, interned, and deprived of earnings and property, dignity and freedom, due process and reparations. Forty thousand fans tried their best, stood in line for a workday, traffic jammed up DTLA to get to Chavez Ravine, and had a bumper party at this devotional tribute to the god/kami that is Ohtani.
Nisei Week (二世週祭, Nisei-shū Matsuri) is an annual festival celebrating Japanese American (JA) culture and history in Little Tokyo, near Chinatown Los Angeles (DTLA).
Nisei means "second generation" in Japanese, describing the first American-born Japanese, a group the seven-day festival was originally meant to attract.
Though named for the Nisei generation, Nisei Week is no longer targeted at Niseis, nor is the festival still contained within a week.
It's time to be cool and go Everyday Zen.
Nisei Week Foundation President (2006) Michelle Suzuki described the festival as "the opportunity for people of all backgrounds to celebrate Japanese heritage and culture" [1].
Festivities are held over one month, though the main attractions are held during the primary two weekends of the festival in the summer heat of mid-August.
Nisei Week draws tens of thousands of participants each year from the Japanese community and Southern California area, mostly to its Grand Parade and specialized festivals. More

C'mon, Gen Z, be like me! Get arrested by The Man in public. Sell books. Produce carbon.*
Stop making sense! I don't want to think! I like Greta and Gore. They're nice! Leave us alone!
GOP's D'Souza calls out Left for "Nazi tactics"
We wish Greta Thunberg were the real thing -- the same as we wished billionaire Al "I Give Up" Gore were honest in his making of An Inconvenient Truth. He left out the "inconvenient truth" that raising animals for slaughter is one of the world's worst causes of pollution.
But since the Gore family made its fortune by ranching (raising animals for slaughter with cesspools of their waste contaminating waterways and the environment, unthinkable animal suffering, the burning down of the Amazon rainforest to make way for pasture to feed American-inspired meat consumption rates and fast-food habit.
I need the money. Buy it.
Gore was called out for his hypocrisy for his mansion and heating bills, with the largest carbon footprint in the state. We live in a disposable culture, and Gore and Greta are symptoms. She was called out for taking planes all over, promoting her tinsel book. Gore sold his Current TV network to Al Jazeera. His motive? Millions.
We are radically left leaning liberals, and we love Mother Nature, and we want to save the environment and all the creatures in it (not eating flesh so that all may live in safety). Yet, we see through Greta being foisted on an unsuspecting public. And history tells us what a fake Gore was. He gave us George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, rolling over to hand them a stolen election. Them's is swamp politics. Trump isn't the first to complain. Black box voting machines, what a joke. Manipulation of the mainstream media, a bigger joke.

It's amazing what oil money can do when playing ball with the Imperial Americans who have been running the world by military force, hegemony (social influence), and the almighty greenback (the world's standard currency, which may now finally be coming to an end. What can oil money get you? Oh, and, will it be run by Sharia Law like our CIA's Wahhabiversion of super-fundamentalist Islam dictates to unsuspecting Muslims misled by the West for the purposes of providing a ready "enemy" to continue the military industrial complex-based economy of our militant society? The djinn (genies) aren't going to like it, that's for sure, but maybe that's what the mirrored walls are for.
The Line (stylized as THE LINE, Arabic ذا لاين or Dha Layin) is a linear smart city under construction in the middle of the desert in Neom, Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia.
It is being designed to have no cars, no streets, and no carbon emissions [2, 3, 4, 5].
The 110 mile long (170km) city is part of Saudi Vision 2030 project, which Saudi Arabia claims will create about 460,000 jobs and add an estimated $48 billion to the country's GDP [2].
The Line is planned to be the first development of a $500 billion project in Neom [6].
The smart city's plans anticipate a population of 9 million, or 25% of Saudi Arabia's current population (35.5 million) [7].
Excavation work has started along the entire length of the project, the inception of which was planned for October 2022.
The project has faced criticism over its impact on the fragile desert environment and the current population of the area, as well as doubts about its technological and economic viability.
Proposal
The Line is planned to be 110 miles long (and only 660 feet wide for its entire length, give or take another 6 feet), preserving 95% of the nature within Neom [3, 4, 8].
(By the way, we just added that extra six feet by measuring six feet under, where most of the inhabitants are going to be as time goes one).
It will stretch approximately from the Red Sea to the city of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. It is intended to house 9,000,000 (nine million) residents, resulting in an average population density of 260,000 people per square km (26K/km2) [7].
By comparison, the capital of the Philippines, Manila, the world's most densely populated city in 2020, had a density of 44,000/km2 [9].
The Line's plan consists of two mirrored buildings with an outdoor space in between, having a total width of 660 feet (200 meters) and a total height of 1,600 feet (500 meters) [7]. More

Who in the hades does Dave Chappelle think he is not jumping on the Anti-Trump bandwagon? There are reasons why Blacks and other non-whites might vote against their own apparent interests? The Democrats are bunch of backstabbers, so it's no crime to dump the largest political party in the country. But going for the explicitly racist and implicitly biased Grand Old Party (GOP)? No way. Still, backing a Honest Liar like Trump is not the worst thing, given how much Barry and Hillary lied, lied, lied about so many things. Trump lies more but is capable of telling the naked truth, too, unlike those two establishment candidates. Enough with our single party system (the Money Party, with its two wings, right and left). We need a SECOND party, and a Third Party wouldn't hurt either.
