Lies pushed US into Ukraine War (TJDS)

Jim, Mike, Alex Jones (TJDS), 1/31/24; Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Was Russia once a part of Ukraine, or has Ukraine always been the heart of Russia?

Ukraine is part of Russia and was once an integral part of the USSR...until NATO

Corrupt, CIA propped Zelenskyy

“I predicted the Ukraine War!” Alex Jones and Jimmy Dore take apart the myth of the Ukraine War, revealing the truth of a peace agreement that was ignored, Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin being provoked and pushed by the CIA and NATO until there was no choice but fighting back against a U.S. proxy war against Russia. Ukraine is a pawn of NATO, dividing up Europe and trying to land a U.S. military base at Russia's doorstep, the way Russia once tried to set up a base in Cuba. The U.S. military wouldn't stand for it, but we expected Pres. Putin to? The U.S. aligned with literal Nazis in Ukraine, which everyone knew about until the war started. Then suddenly it was a big surprise that Nazis (which Russians hate from the last world war) were operating in the government and various provinces of Ukraine. "But that can't be," propagandists insisted, "because Ukraine's president is a Jew." This was like saying, "The U.S. can't be racist, because past President Obama was Black."

I'm a ghost of my former self. - Is that right, Jon?

Professional comedian, genius, and impressionist Mike MacRae (mikemacrae.com) calls in to talk to Jimmy Dore. Jon Stewart is coming back to The Daily Show. Did he leave? Where's Trevor Noah now? Is there still a Daily Show? It's a mess.

He's no me, but he did call out Covid-19 once.

Ukraine-sellout pinning awards at Disneyland, Stewart is in a jam, having sold out and been compromised by the makers of war and vaccines. He has to mind his P's and Q's from now on, now that he's a shell of his former self. He had great writers, researchers, and technique with comedic delivery -- but he's a big zero who doesn't dare challenge the Establishment at all. So they let him back in the mainstream media.

Covid lies are funny: excess deaths, lawsuits

Jimmy Dore: The Jimmy Dore Show; Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

In those heady days of easy riches, they were calling any and everything "Covid." It paid to.

.

I may have done a thing or two for the money.

Mainstream media FINALLY covers "excess deaths" due to undergoing an experimental medical procedure known as "taking COVID-19 shots" to become a GMO (genetically modified organism), which were induced on consumers by a Big Pharma payment schedule that went to shooters (medical providers) who scared their patients into taking them as a "medical necessity" (necessary to their fast and easy enrichment) whether those experimental vaccine shots worked or not.

"They, they," who are "they"? Blame Dr. Fauci

They certainly have never been proven to work; they have always been "experimental." It was right there in the fine print.

That's why the shots were rushed, when they were neither ready nor effective, in a big rush of government propaganda. Sadly, it was the Left (not the Right) taken in by this one.

No one cares about actual science

If consumers were injured in the rush to transfer billions in subsidies into the pockets of hospitals, doctors, and drug distributors (like Rite Aid, CVS, Savon, Walmart, and other pharmaceutical outlets, some may be able to avoid the immunity clause Big Pharma lawyers conned the government into giving them (for all the vaccines they make nowadays) and successfully sue.

Cases are being won, if not for the actual direct injury of taking toxic chemicals, metals, and agents that modify our human genes into our veins, at least for being fired for refusing such draconian and foolish Frankenstein-level medical interventions.

We could not admit that safe human medicine like anti-parasitic Ivermectin worked because then the government could not qualify for "emergency use authorization," which is not available when there is a treatment already existing for a disease. Never mind that the rollout of 5G was and is causing many symptoms of this so-called infectious agent.

Butterfly Effect, Chaos Theory, Predictions

Fexl, Jan. 21, 2024; Sheldon S., Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The most terrifying theory scientists don’t want to talk about

(Fexl) To play the Chaos Game (geogebra.org/m/yr2XXPms), I set the number of points at 3, clicked start, and set the speed to "fast." The key takeaway of Chaos Theory is this: even when one's equations are perfectly deterministic, one cannot know the initial conditions of arbitrary sensitivities. What is “chaos”? It is when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.

(NBC News) Legendary Broadway performer Chita Rivera, star of “West Side Story,” “Chicago,” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman” has died, according to her representative Merle Frimark.

She was 91. In a career defined both by longevity and excellence, she created and performed iconic roles on stage — thrilling audiences, wowing critics, and inspiring generations of Latino performers.

In a statement to NBC News, Rivera's daughter, Lisa Mordente, said her mother died today (1/30/24) in New York "after a brief illness."

“She was one of the few performers who put their stamp on Broadway in virtually every decade,” said performance historian Brian Herrera of Princeton University. “She was a treasure of the American theater.” More

On Friendship, Feelings, FanGirls, Fitting In

Kate Kennedy, (312) 379-9676 (amazon.com, Jan. 23, 2024); Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Jen Bradford, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

One in a Millennial (Kennrdy)

One in a Millennial: On Friendship, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In came out in January of 2024, written by Kate Kennedy. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars with only 38 ratings. But it's an Editors' Pick Best Biographies & Memoirs.

From yet another pop culture podcaster and a voice of a generation, it's a celebration of the millennial zeitgeist.

One In a Millennial is an exploration of pop culture, nostalgia, and the life lessons learned (for better or worse) from coming of age as a member of a much-maligned generation.

Kennedy is a commentator and host of the popular podcast Be There in Five, which focuses on millennial issues.

Part-funny, part-serious, Kennedy navigates the complicated nature of celebrating and criticizing the culture that shaped her as a young woman, while arguing that great depths can come from surface-level interests. [In other words, being shallow isn't all bad.]

With trademark style and vulnerability, One In a Millennial is sharp, hilarious, and heartwarming all at once.

She tackles AOL Instant Messenger, purity culture, American Girl Dolls, going out tops, Spice Girl feminism, her feelings about millennial motherhood, and more.

Kennedy’s laugh-out-loud asides and keen observations will have browsers and readers nodding heads and maybe even tearing up [the text]. More

• WQ Review: It's better than it sounds.

The Buddha on friendship

I'll be your friend. - Really? - No, I'm busy.

Not that a Kennedy isn't a great source of information on friendship, it's just that the ancient historical Buddha had a few things to say on that subject.

Noble friendship

The most famous thing he said about metta (Sanskrit maitri, "friendliness" or "loving kindness") was said in regard to noble friendship, or thinking kind and friendly thoughts toward noble ones. Who are the noble ones? They are those on the stages of enlightenment (bodhi, awakening).

They are guides and resources for us on the Path to the ultimate end of suffering that is called nirvana, complete liberation from all kinds of rebirth and suffering.

One day his famous and beloved attendant, Ananda, had an idea from things he had observed in the Monastic Community (Sangha). He saw how some enlightened persons were very friendly to others, and those others in turn advanced very quickly to the goal of liberation.

So, thinking he had a clever observation to make, he approached the Buddha and respectfully said: "It seems to me that noble friendship is half the spiritual life!"

The Buddha condemned this, saying: "Do not say so, Ananda, do not say so. Noble friendship is 100 percent of the spiritual life." Far from actually condemning what great Ananda had said, the Buddha asked him to intensify it, to proclaim just how valuable noble friendship is.

He goes on to explain WHY it's so valuable and important on the road to enlightenment. Because of friendliness, respect, and wise association, we approach enlightened people. And on account of approaching we give ear and hear the Dharma (the Buddha's Teaching of the Path to enlightenment).

We bear it in mind, practice it, see it modelled for us. And of all our noble friends in the world, the Buddha is the greatest noble friend (kalyana mitta). Why?

It is because he set rolling the Teaching, made known the Path, articulated the Dharma for everyone since then to practice and reach the goal. In that sense, he our best friend even if he is not here to thank. However, he did say there was a way to thank him, to honor him in the highest way. Worship? Sacrfice? Donations? No, no, and no.

He said he is paid the highest honor when someone puts into PRACTICE this Teaching he strived for so many years (45) and so many lifetimes (countless) to uncover and bring forth into the world again as "supremely-enlightened" or samma-sam-buddhas do.

What about normal friendship?

Did the Buddha have anything to say about regular things (you know, ordinary friendship, feelings, fangirls, and fitting in)? Yes!

In one long sutra (DN 31), a discourse called the "Advice to Householders" (Sigalovada Sutta), the Buddha talks about two kinds of "friends," the good friend and the bad friend.

• He talks about making money, getting rich, having a family, a good marriage, a well-organized house, fun, entertainment, and all sorts of things few would guess he knew anything about.

We all love the "bad friend," who is willing to do all sorts of bad things with us -- gambling, getting drunk/high, whoring around, going out to concerts and endless entertainments, and all sorts of legal troubles. How do we recognize people like this? There's a hidden danger to such people -- all they borrow and take, the crud they talk about us behind our backs, the trouble they get us in, the way the encourage our worst traits.

He talks about the "good friend," who protect us, help us, speak well of us, introduce us to and encourage good and useful things, accompany us in good stuff...the sort of people we usually take for granted, quiet and humble, having our backs when we need help or to borrow something. They're not like those two-faced jerks abusing the term "friend."

• In fact, some people might say the Buddha had more to teach ordinary worldly people (householders who just want money, love, a house, a relationship, kids, and all that weight) than he did the people with spiritual aspirations.

It's as if people think spiritual types (holy rollers) should just all ordain and become monastics, hermits, wandering ascetics, and spiritual nomads.

They can. But no one needs to do that. Every and anyone can practice right where one is. Just determine a goal: a better human rebirth, rebirth in one of the many heavens, the end of all rebirths, full enlightenment here and now in this very life... the first stage of enlightenment ("stream entry") with at most only seven (7) more lives to go....

Once that goal is determined, the rest is easy. There's a teaching for that in the Buddha's Dharma. What a friend the Buddha was to all living beings.

Taylor Swift nude pics are too hot to handle

(The Hill) Premiered Jan. 29, 2024: WASHINGTON, DC: Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave discuss Taylor Swift and a widespread online theory about how Nazi Barbie is an FBI psy-op (psychological operative). #Taylor Swift #Travis Kelce

Now I'm an AI pornstar, too? Good grief!

Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift is a [self-obsessed, covert narcissist] diva [according to her own admission in "Anti Hero," but we're not helping her mental condition as she ruins football the way she ruined pop music].

This is my good side (SNL)

She is one of the most beautiful [attention hogs] in Hollywood. Taylor Swift's nude pics [are not even real and they already broke Twitter/X and are not helping Google Corporation].

[Fontica.com gathered a collection to act as red meat for the masses and their lusty tastes] hot pictures, bikini pictures, and topless pictures. [Well, you know, not quite, but teases because that's what Nazi Barbie is all about, teasing and tempting teenyboppers].

Why would anyone believe I would pose like a pornstar? That's bad, and I'm pure!!

.

Humble beginnings: karma works!

Explore her [mesmerizing] beauty [standard as she sets the bar for all fans to follow, the way Britney used to be the look to aspire to] and fall in love with her.

• The Twilight Zone "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" (IMDb) In a future society, everyone must undergo an operation at age 19 to become beautiful and conform to society. One young woman desperately wants to hold onto her own identity.

Taylor Swift is the most famous American singer, songwriter, and [paparazzi darling] in Hollywood.

Since the age of 16, TayTay has been earning the crown of renown in various industries.

Stop! I don't want so much attention!

Some of her famous songs like “Shake It Off,” “Trouble,” and the covert narcissist song fueled fan love and made her more successful than all others...except Beyonce, Olivia, Lana Del Rey, and Tate McRae.

• As lifetime president of The Itty-Bitty Taylor Swift Committee, one of her fan many clubs, the IT volunteer staffers are constantly using AI, namely ChatGPT, to imagine what she would look like naked, like if her computer or phone got hacked from all her alleged sexting with Kelce.

Ha, it was just a staged GQ shoot!

T-Swizzle also won Grammy Award for her album Fearless (2008). Apart from her album about fear, in 2014, she also won a Grammy for singles “Shake It Off” and “Blank Space” [which seems to refer to her dead stare more than her Rolodex]. More

Giving Up the Five Hindrances (sutra)

Ven. Sujato (trans.), Numerical Discourses (AN 1.11–20), Nīvaraṇa-ppahānavagga, suttacentral.net; edited by Amber Larson and Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

The Chapter on Letting Go of the Five Hindrances

11. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to sensual desire (craving, tanha) or, when it arises, makes it increase and spread like the feature of beauty. When one applies the mind (heart) irrationally to the feature of beauty, sensual desire arises, and once arisen it increases and spreads.”

• What are the Five Hindrances that obsess the mind?

12. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to ill will (aversion, dosa) or, when it arises, makes it increase and spread like the feature of harshness. When one applies the mind irrationally to the feature of harshness, ill will arises, and once arisen it increases and spreads.”

13. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to dullness and drowsiness (sloth and torpor) or, when they arise, makes them increase and spread like discontent, sloth, yawning, sleepiness after eating, and mental sluggishness. When one has a sluggish mind, dullness and drowsiness arise, and once arisen they increase and spread.”

14. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to restlessness and remorse (scatteredness and scruples) or, when they arise, makes them increase and spread like an unsettled mind. When one has no peace of mind, restlessness and remorse arise, and once arisen they increase and spread.”

15. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to doubt (skepticism) or, when it arises, makes it increase and spread like irrational application of mind. When one applies the mind irrationally, doubt arises, and once arisen it increases and spread.”

Solutions

16. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that prevents sensual desire from arising or, when it arises, abandons it like the feature of [turning attention to the repulsive aspect or] ugliness. When one applies the mind rationally to the [inherent] feature of ugliness, sensual desire arises not or, if it has already arisen, it is given up [let go of, abandoned, dropped].”

17. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that prevents ill will from arising or, when it arises, abandons it like the heart’s release by love (metta, friendliness). When one applies the mind rationally on the heart’s release by love, ill will arises not or, if it has already arisen, it is given up.”

18. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that prevents dullness and drowsiness from arising or, when they arise, gives them up like the elements of initiative, persistence, and vigor. When one is energetic, dullness and drowsiness do arise not or, if they have already arisen, they are given up.”

19. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that prevents restlessness and remorse from arising or, when they arise, gives them up like peace of mind. When the mind is peaceful, restlessness and remorse arise not or, if they have already arisen, they are given up.”

20. “Meditators, I do not see a single thing that prevents doubt from arising or, when it arises, gives it up like rational application of mind. When one applies the mind rationally, doubt arises not or, if it has already arisen, it is given up.” Source
