According to His Royal #1 Divorced Prince, Charles, we have until 2017 to survive. This is 5 years longer than all the people who think the world will come to an end in 2012. Will California sink into the Pacific before then? Will pop stars rise from their graves and wander the landscape, singing, ‘I’m Bad And You Know It’? Will the Queen of England finally die of old age? Pressing issues! And this will screw up the Chinese 50 Year Plan, to boot!
.
First, the idea that this silly Prince who is NOT the pop star that used to be named ‘Prince’ but then became a weird name, nor is it Jackson’s boys named ‘Prince’ and it isn’t someone’s dog named ‘Prince’. I once had a dog named ‘Duke’. He was nothing but trouble. The Prince who is telling us the world is going to end is NOT the ‘Prince of Peace’ who is supposed to show up during the Apocalypse so he can kill everyone…??? No, this is just that sorry bundle of bones, Prince Charles, son of the Queen of the Hedge Fund Hell Hounds.

Just 96 months to save world, says Prince Charles – Green Living, Environment – The Independent
Capitalism and consumerism have brought the world to the brink of economic and environmental collapse, the Prince of Wales has warned in a grandstand speech which set out his concerns for the future of the planet.
The heir to the throne told an audience of industrialists and environmentalists at St James’s Palace last night that he had calculated that we have just 96 months left to save the world.
And in a searing indictment on capitalist society, Charles said we can no longer afford consumerism and that the “age of convenience” was over.
.
Leave it to a twerp that has butlers, scullery maids, servants, cooks, chauffeurs and PR guys to tell us ‘the age of convenience is over!’ How inconvenient. Well, I do my own dishes, drive myself to wherever I have to go and I have to make my own bed, dig my own ditches, build my own house, fix my own roof, kill the rats with the help of Fluff, the cat, who certainly does not think he is my servant. It is the reverse, of course.
.
This twerp who spends a million pounds a year, traveling with a mob of servants, PR agents, and various hanger-ons, wants us to make our carbon footprints smaller. This is sort of like Godzilla telling a gnat, it takes up too much room. This guy and his gang consume more carbon-based products in an week than I consume in a year. Make that, in my own lifetime! And this idiot savant pseudo-savage wants ME to reduce what I consume???
.
HAHAHAHA. Maybe we can fix this problem by chopping off his head. Then, he will consume no more carbon stuff, eh? Not to mention, breathing out carbon dioxide and consuming precious oxygen. I have a long list of all the rich people who want us to stop consuming energy, a long list of these people who I want to see living in shanties, washing their clothing by hand and growing their own food. Living the hard life. Then they can yap to me about the environment.

Mayan ‘apocalypse’ crop circle appears at Silbury Hill – Telegraph
Karen Alexander, a crop circle enthusiast, said: “This is one of the most interesting crop circles I have ever seen. It is definitely a Mayan symbol and we are sure it is linked to the Mayan calendar, which ends in 2012.
“It appears to be a warning about the world coming to an end when the calendar does. For the ancient Maya, reaching the end of a cycle was a momentous event, so we are taking this crop circle very seriously as an indicator of a possibly huge event in 2012.”
.
The huge event we must all fear is WWIII. And who will do this war? Why, the nuclear armed nations. This is, of course, the Security Council of the UN plus Israel. Especially, Israel. The silly crop circle game has gotten very elaborate over the years. When the original pranksters showed how they took a board and a piece of rope and would use it to stomp a circle in wheat fields, instead of this stopping the ‘crop circle’ game, it took off like a rocket. Everyone and their alienated brothers want to pretend to be aliens delivering messages.
.
The damage to crops is considerable, of course. Now, only the most artistic examples of vandalism makes the news. The people who are doing this (using lawn mowers now?) take great pains to plot out their artwork, probably using a computer which gives them a ‘blow up’ ratio so they can do it more easily. Note how they do it on fields with long straight lines from the cultivation machines that are great for setting up markers for the designs.
.
So Prince Charles doesn’t have to worry to death, his doom date is out of date. According to the real fanatics of doom, the earth will be long gone. See?
.
Here is a satellite photo of the tiny home Charles and his Mum live in when they are not living in a dozen other palaces, a few dozen auxiliary domiciles of fair size or various country estates not to mention, vacation points across the globe:
.
This is the biggest house in London. And much of the planet earth outside of the Vatican. The Pope, like Prince Charles, loves to condemn capitalism and warn us that living in palaces is evil….HAHAHA…..and that we should love the poor and be poor and not wear fancy gold and ermine-trimmed robes….etc. What is it with these guys? You move into a palace and immediately, the urge to tell people that palaces are evil comes popping into the head? Why can’t they leave these palaces and go live like the rest of us? Perish, the thought!

A Brief Natural History of the Latex Rubber Tree
Brazil provided the world with the rubber tree, Hevea Brasiliensis, but that country no longer plays any significant part in the world NR (natural rubber) trade. Seeds were exported from the lower Amazon area of Brazil to London UK by Henry Wickham, a local planter acting for the British Government in 1876. The seeds were germinated at the Tropical Herbarium in Kew Gardens, London later that year. From there seedlings were exported to Ceylon (Now Sri Lanka). In 1877, 22 seedlings were sent from Ceylon to Singapore, where they grew strongly, and the technique of tapping was developed. Prior to this, the trees had to be felled before the latex could be extracted. By 1900, most of the techniques and agricultural practices required to establish large plantations had been developed. One key technique was bud grafting. This is essentially a cloning technique which ensures that genetically identical trees can be produced in unlimited numbers. The rubber industry often talks about high-yielding clones, or other types of clone; and this is the basis of that terminology. Over the next 40 years or so, the British in Malaysia and the Dutch in Indonesia cleared large areas of rainforest to create rubber plantations.
.
Of course, the British hunted down tribal people deep in jungles, enslaved millions of them and shipped them to the Americas to work as slaves on plantations planted where there were once jungles! And in Asia, in Australia, it was the same story: brutal clearing of the jungles and displacing the native plants with stuff like rubber plantations. Of course, the prissy Prince Charlie wants us to think he is now Tarzan of the Apes:
.
YouTube – Tarzan the Ape Man (Johnny Weissmüller)
Tarzan – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tarzan is the son of a British Lord and Lady who were marooned on the East coast of Africa by mutineers. When Tarzan was a year old, his mother died of natural causes, and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe into which Tarzan was adopted. Kerchak’s tribe of apes is known as the Mangani, Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. Tarzan (White-skin) is his ape name; his English name is John Clayton, Lord Greystoke (the formal title is Viscount Greystoke according to Burroughs in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle; Earl of Greystoke in later, non-canonical sources, notably the 1984 movie Greystoke). As a young adult, he meets a young American woman, Jane Porter, who along with her father and others of their party is marooned at exactly the same spot on the African coast where Tarzan’s parents were twenty years earlier. When she returns to America, he leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. In later books, Tarzan and Jane marry and he lives with her for a time in England. They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name Korak the Killer. Tarzan is contemptuous of the hypocrisy of civilization, and he and Jane return to Africa, making their home on an extensive estate that becomes a base for Tarzan’s later adventures.
.
See? The fictional Tarzan carves an estate out of the jungle. And is connected to Prince Charles! HAHAHA. Sort of. Tarzan, like the Prince’s grandfather, fell for an American (we don’t know if she was also a divorcee). Yes, this is all ‘normal’, isn’t it? Maybe Charles can yodel like Tarzan and swing from the Buckingham Palace chandeliers.

I don’t care who makes the crop circles. For a few of them, the sheer intelligence behind the conceptualization just amazes me.

Whenever I don’t subscribe to some odd idea, people get mad at me. Crop circles started out very simple. Then, the hysteria set in. Aliens from outer space!
This is very much like when people see something funny in a photograph or odd lights in the sky: aliens! Jumping to conclusions, of course, is easy as pie.
I don’t mind people doing this, it is their own business. But it is fascinating why people don’t first suspect other humans as the agents behind mysterious stuff. Yet, at the same time, people will cook up elaborate conspiracy theories for all sorts of things but can’t figure out, humans conspire to make fake UFOs or crop circles, etc.
The ‘pi’ circle was designed to explain ‘pi’ in artistic terms. It is quite elegant. I salute the skills of the people who designed and then, created this landscape event.
About 30 years ago, artists decided that making spirals or digging trenches were art work. The crop circle designs are in line with this ethos.

Prince Charles looks very much like an insincere Joe Biden. Have they ever been seen in the same universe together with a crop circle? And why always frigging circles eh? Why not pentagons or heptagons or spiralchetes or some other hyperbola maybe. You can do any of the conic sections with a straight edge and some string and a nail or two. Bias against complex figures is probably one of the hallmarks of aliens, bias against complex figures and a heightened interest in anal probing are two of the hallmarks of aliens, bias against complex geometries, anals probed and derblinkenlites are three of our alien overlords distingquishing characteristics … and being related to Royalty notice how alien droopy faced and really bland Charlie looks.
The easiest way for us to do our duty and reduce our carbon footprint is to stop producing. No American production no footprint. The only production necessary is the production of engraved paper, everything else is foregoable.

If I were a carpenter I’d make a crop circle (out of a board and two nails) that looked like a footprint

Oops gotta go run off some T-bills on the laser printer
July 10, 2009 at 3:24 am
@EMS:
1) Are cops aliens? Yes.
2) Doctors who anal probe, this is a trickier question, I think it depends upon how many hands they have on your shoulders. More than one hand might be indicative of alienness, more than three hands definitely alien.
3) Being billed for an anal probe — priceless.

Jumping from lower notes to suddenly yodel ‘Whoo’ is NOT SINGING. It is yodeling. Opera singers know the difference. Singing a series of sustained notes in the high registers, on the other hand, is tremendously difficult and requires many years of training.
As for men singing high: I used to play the viola da gamba in an opera group playing Monteverdi operas written 400 years ago and the men who sang in the higher pitches sang quite beautifully.

National Security Adviser Uzi Arad also said in an interview with Haaretz newspaper published on Friday that as part of a statehood deal that settles the conflict with the Palestinians, Israel should be granted NATO membership.
Arad said the consensus in Israel was that it must keep a strong presence in the Golan Heights, land captured in 1967 and which Syria wants returned as part of a peace deal, for “strategic, military and land-settlement reasons.”
“If there is a territorial compromise, it is one that still leaves Israel on the Golan Heights and deep into the Golan Heights,” Arad said, noting also the plateau’s water resources.
.
So israel gets peace with the palestinians, NATO membership and protection, All the water resources in Golan it wants to consume and sell ‘fresh water is a precious resource over there’, all the RADICAL SUPER JEW colony’s rite on syrias doorstep AND a permanent peace with all its neighbors it has been stealing resources and land from for 50 years
.
that sounds like a great deal what to the syrians and palestinians get? more US farm aid and US dollars
.
Ever since the last intifada with Sharon walking to the wall of Solomons old temple ‘or whatever’ and the near total break down of the peace process ‘of which Israel played a huge role’ I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE THAT ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT PEACE, THEY HAVE MORE IN HUMILIATING ALL THE MEDIATING PARTYS AND IT HAS BECOME PUPPET SHOW RACISM WITH THE PALESTINIANS PLAYING THE FOOL while israel enjoys its great desires

to let them dictate IN the press what they WONT do is to RUIN the peace as soon as possible… they would rather wait till more Muslims die or something

California’s experiment with IOU’s…unanticipated effects?
I have seen that California is having some success getting people to use their new IOU’s as a currency. I know that’s not what the stated reason is for producing them, but that’s the effect. If other states down the road end up in a similar state of ruin as California is in now (which I think is likely for most of them), then the U.S. could see a host of competing ‘currencies’ emerge, state by state, which will continue to undermine the authority and necessity of the U.S. Federal Reserve note. This also has implications for federal taxation. Would you have to pay Federal income tax on wages paid in state based IOU currency? Wouldn’t the cash strapped states want that tax revenue for their own?

someone should tell israel

yo mang’ if we can never negotiate a meaningful peace its going to hurt the image of the US and thats like stealing from us or something, ISRAEL WANTED peace and we wanted peace, but as time drags on israel has become to comfortable just sitting on its ass with a lolipop in its mouth and thinks the world works like that
.
IF we gave anyone our word, our solemn commitment to peace ‘SEE SAUDI ARABIA, JORDAN, EGYPT, TURKEY, UAE, KUWAIT, IRAQ’ its important to note that just because israel changes its mind about what PEACE is doesnt mean PEACE has changed in its definition
.
SOMEONE should explain to israel if it doesnt want peace we dont need to keep on bowing to the hope of a righteous world and can just leave them to poke their neighbors in the eye
.
again if syria thinks this is a good deal i have nothing but gratitude, but i think its a terrible bargain at face value and i dont even live there, just a member of NATO that doesnt want to see israel gain membership under these conditions
July 10, 2009 at 1:22 pm

my thoughts? well after reluctantly considering all things PayAttention and Elaine, i have not happily come to the conclusion that elaine is hypocritical. she cannot hold complete moral outrage about the transplanted european jew genocide of the indigenous islamic peoples and contine to reside on her mountain. what elaine is doing is worse than the jew nazis it seems to me. so far, the jewish state hasn’t officially announced their goal is to literally rid the neighborhood of all islams, whereas elaine benefits from her ancestors actually doing what israel would never dare….
just because elaine did not actually kill the new york aboriginals off herself, she happily claims what was immorally taken from the true owners after they had been literally murdered for their land….. worse, it was state policy to empty the territory of the aboriginals.
so. there is that.
===========================
and now i see all of you doubt my claim of our devolution. well you are wrong and soon i will prove that western cultures descent began when we stopped studying the classics and learning latin. and why did we do this? the answer, i bet, will be because we were mad that nothing our modern sophisticated educated smug selves could come up with was superior or worse, original to what was already well known and examined by the time of socrates and plato and etc. and this made us white folks hoppin mad so we commenced to consume with a vengence and drown our senses guilt free.
============================
and only now am i beginning to get an appreciation of the schism between what is called paganism in the west and christianity….and the argument is not over yet! it all comes down, it seems to me, to the nature of “souls” and what happens to them at the death of our physical bodies. and of course about the time study of the classics became discredited, the general acceptance of karl marx basic background fundamental assumption became wide spread in the british elite (due to their justified guilt?) and then appeared in our eastern elite universities. and the rest is history….i.e. our civilizations inevitable descent. and soon the wet ass hour….and other cultures and civilizations will build on our remains.
============================
so. i have much to do

Um, hate to tell you this, but my ancestors married into the Mohican tribes here back in the 17th century. So I am ‘native’.
July 10, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Indeed, the ‘intermarriage’ stuff is old hat for all ethnic invasions. But note that Israel PUNISHES anyone who marries across ethnic lines. If you are Jewish and marry a Palestinian, your children are classified as ‘Palestinians’. Just for example.
And this racism is deeper: my half-Jewish children are considered non-Jews by the Israeli government because their mother isn’t Jewish. Even though I have some Jewish ancestors on my father’s side of the family. See? This is different from tribal warfare which did allow intermarriage. My family (the Bards) were not unusual in intermarriage with all sort of natives here in the US.

The interracial sex in the US was so intense, the racist South passed many laws outlawing this sex. For example, until the 1960’s, it was illegal for ‘Negroes’ to marry ‘whites’. Israel is exactly like this: there are many race laws all designed to ‘protect’ the Jews from intermarriage or give people of the wrong genetical background, equal rights.
Ultimately, this is a struggle for civil rights as well as separation of Church or Synagogue and State. Instead of setting a good example, Israel is setting a Saudi Arabian style example.

Any coin of pure metal beats any paper money which is why all coins are now denominated via weight, not face value. The gap between face value and the real metals is growing which is why a US $5 gold coin is worth hundreds of dollars more than the $5 in paper value.
About singers: over the centuries, the use of males singing in high voice has fluctuated. It comes and goes. Sometimes, it is highly prized, other times, it is not. In pop music, it is quite common because a lot of pop is directed towards young females who really don’t relish bass voices that sound like daddy.

(did you get that important point young people?) and the pop singers with tattoos look like jokes to me. betcha they would be eaten alive if they really tried to go into folsum prison for a real concert like mr. cash did.
did anyone see johnny cashs last video lamenting “look what has happened to me!”.
devolution all about. its sick.

correction….if they DIDN’T remain segregated…
and imho, some of the interracial breeding happens seems to result in some terrifically handsome and beautiful and talented kids. like my dogs all are mutts that came down the road….but imho, the mutts are superior in every way to the purebred dogs. same with people.
so i found it. i found an improvement in the world finally and it may fix everything eventually.
this is turning out to be a yipper dipper day.

“…kill the rats with the help of Fluff, the cat, who certainly does not think he is my servant. It is the reverse, of course.”
Modtly true old expression: Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Genetically speaking, mixing of ‘races’ is most excellent according to the best of the gods: Mother Nature.

Everybody knows the world is going to end December 21st 2012. Prince Charles doesn’t know his dates.

He is married so he can’t date.

“Leave it to a twerp that has butlers, scullery maids, servants, cooks, chauffeurs and PR guys to tell us ‘the age of convenience is over!’ ”
That, along with the preponderance of Charles-related commentary, is pretty damn funny.
Inasmuch as it mirrors what third-world nations say when the US and the Europeans start bleating about climate change…

The sooner we trade in the Lizards and partner up with Russia, China, and India the better.
Bambi and the Democrats just might throw the Lizards under the bus before the October crash.
Bambi had a tantrum the other day asking the Lizards where the recovery got to.
Summers was speechless.
Sure wish they had a video of that.

I had an idea for an opera about aliens coming to enslave the human race. Of course, they start with the old ‘We come in peace’ bit and are initially welcomed but it turns out that, of course, they are really here to enslave us.
The dramatic irony turns out that if humans hadn’t been so intent on fighting, enslaving, and destroying each other for so many centuries we might have been able to find the common spirit necessary to put up some resistance against the aliens.
The snag is that the alien parts would be so intense that there is no way any human could possibly sing them, so I would have to wait for a real invasion before it could be staged. (Or a reasonable commission, whichever comes first).
Heh.

ELAINE: Wagner already wrote ‘The Ring of the Nibelungen.’ After all, if we simply call the gods ‘aliens’ then all makes sense particularly since they fly or swim around while singing and throwing lightning bolts or disappear or change shape or even become dragons! I loved those operas since I first saw ‘Das Rheingold’ when only 9 years old.

I learned my economics here from elaine, but I goota call her on crop circles and god. These things are real. How can such an imaginitive
person rule out such cosmic verities.
yikes

Yes, real humans make these wonderful art designs. If you think they are aliens…HAHAHA….I AM AN ALIEN, TOO. Can’t you tell? Look at my cartoon image of myself and Fluff. The cat is the one who runs the navigation of our starship. I am just along for the ride, to pet the cat, feed him catnip and clean his ears and kitty litter box. If you note all the cats around humans, you might figure out who really civilized people. After all, dogs lived in CAVES with humans, we didn’t live in houses until the cat aliens came and fixed us up.
