“Ialdaboath, becoming arrogant in spirit, boasted himself over all
those who were below him, and explained, "I am the father, and God, and
above me there is no one," his mother hearing him speak thus, cried out
against him: "Do not lie, Ialdabaoth, for the father of all, the primal Anthropos, is above you, and so is Anthropos,
the son of Anthropos."
Please help keep the truth alive - or all we have are lies!

Falling
Falling
By Brian Thomas
Armstrong
The wind rushes through my hair,
blowing my mind away
My thoughts drift through the air,
then fall like a sunset at the end of day
I see clearly now through my mind’s
eye, using the vision of my inner child
It lifts away the hazy grown-up clouds
that once blocked my sight
No more fighting myself
The flight I have taken since birth finally
lands with a resounding thud!
As my confusion hits the pavement
after jumping from the heights of my soul

Marysville School Shooting: It Could Happen Anywhere
Marysville School Shooting: It Could Happen Anywhere
The
Marysville, Wash. School Shooting:
Senseless tragedies like these will continue to happen until we not only change
the gun laws across America - but also fundamentally change the inherit flaws
in our present day society.
We have to do more together in order to stop the
disheartening and increasing trend of gun
violence in our communities, now to include our nation’s latest 14
year old “School Shooter, “Jaylen Fryburg. We need to start teaching our kids something
more valuable and enlightening than how to run-for-it when someone pulls out a
gun and starts shooting. What we as a
people need to do, and what we should strive to teach our children, in order to
help stop future school, mall, and workplace shootings are:
Teach
our children real life coping skills: There were some clear warning
signs prior to the Oct, 24th school shooting in Marysville, Washington , when Jaylen
Fryburg walked into his Pilchuck
High School cafeteria, sat down, and then silently
stood back up again, emotionless - and unloaded a small hand gun into six of his fellow students, two of whom
were his cousins, is that: He had just Broken up with his girl-friend. Was
recently suspended/ kicked-off his football team for a fight with another
team-mate over a supposedly racist comment towards him. He was also posting very
dark and disturbing social media tweets on Twitter (even for a 14 year-old),
weeks before committing his terrible crime on not only his young victims, but also
to himself and his family when he took his own life afterwards. It was obvious
that he had planned the attack beforehand as an act of revenge.
Teach
our Youth the value of life: Jaylan Fryburg was related to a
prominent Native American family living on the successful Tulalip Reservation that
is located about thirty five miles north of Seattle. The boy was considered
popular and happy. Before his fatal meltdown, he greeted other students
normally and waited until lunch time to wreak his wrath on his fellow students,
plus society as a whole. Making such a huge and aggressively violent statement about his growing inner apathy with
life, its inhabitants, and the seemingly futility of bothering to go through it
all expressed in his social media posts, are also a grave and vehement statement
about our current American lifestyles, opinions, judgments, and perceptions of
others. The psychological repercussions
of our modern lives may be infringing on our youths mental health. Young
Americans views on life’s true meanings, and a life’s Non-monetary worth, may
be being compromised by our dependence on materialistic technological advances,
and large social eccentric personality and inferiority complexes that span
across the world-wide-web. We slowly maybe redefining our social public worth
to conform to cyber-space social standards - Technology seems to be overpassing
some of our citizen’s mental capacities of coping with life’s simple and
inevitable ups and downs.
Keep
Guns out of our kid’s hands: Jaylan was recently given a Deer
rifle for a
present from his parents at the age of 14, and was able to get ahold-of a small
hand gun even at his young age. Gun reforms and universal background checks
will stem the private sectors Un-regulated gun stockpiles, which are patiently waiting
to ironically and legally slip into the wrong psychotic, criminal, or
disgruntled hands. But gun control will do nothing to help hold back the
illnesses, resentments, and apathetic hopelessness of a troubled human mind.
With increasingly violent games being tolerated by society,
and promoted by big money retailers, and over a decade of constant brutal and
bloody war being constantly broadcasted virtually in its entirety to grown-ups
and juveniles alike, sometimes it seems futile, not to mention hypocritical to think
that we are going to simply solve the epidemic of senseless youth violence
through a rigorous school
Anti-bullying program. They
certainly had bullies when I went to High School in the late 1970s, but I
cannot remember one school shooting from that period, let alone a decade’s long
series of endless school campus shootings. What we as a society may not realize
is that by condoning, fully participating in, and passively promoting these
progressively negative daily social norms of war, violence, intolerance, and
public apathy mixed in with a strong dose of governmental distrust, that we
might also be negatively infecting the future of our nation, with our nations
somewhat hidden and under-discussed, or just plain Un-acknowledged social
toxins. Unfortunately this makes society culpable and in-directly responsible
for our present predicament of murderous and suicidal teenagers and grown-ups alike
that seem to decide to intentionally and methodically snap one day, making sure
that they take out all the petty cruelties, irritants, and inconveniences of
their lives with them, vengefully and seemingly to those around them, without warning.
Reading some of Jaylen Fryburg’s social media posts below,
in hindsight, just like these shootings, they are a warning to the American People
as to the need for deep social changes in our attitudes, perceptions, and sense
of community. Jaylen’s messages are also a sad young boy’s desperate cry for help
that once again fell unheeded with drastic and terribly tragic consequences for
all those concerned.

Where Bozos’ Lurk: The Wasco Clown Hysteria
Where Bozos’ Lurk: The Wasco Clown Hysteria
In the beginning of October 2014, the Halloween spirit was
in full fall bloom, and it was evident that the flamboyant holiday was right
around the corner. What was not expected in a small town located outside of
Bakersfield, California, was that “Threatening
Dark Clowns” with Machetes and Baseball Bats could be lurking behind every
corner of the sleepy streets of Wasco.
According to ABC Channel
7 News Los Angeles, the local panic craze started when a Bakersfield area couple
made a Social Media post of them dressed in somewhat menacing clown costumes in
the small outskirt community of Wasco, quickly turned into Social Media
Hysteria when copy-cat’s posts appeared on Instagram with pictures
of their own horrifying looking clowns, at numerous local Bakersfield California
and surrounding area landmarks, Wasco being one of them.
Once Social Hysteria set in full force the Bakersfield
Police Department began to receive numerous calls of evil looking clowns
lurking in their neighborhoods, some with machetes, others holding baseball
bats, and other assorted dangerous weapons of ill intent.
The local authorities have played down the hysteria noting
that only one menacing clown was caught and arrested so far by police, and that
“Rogue Clown” turned out to be a
fourteen year old boy who was chasing younger kids in order to scare the crap
out of them. The boy was charged with the very serious crime of – Annoying Fellow
Juveniles; the kind of criminal record of which will undoubtedly haunt the poor
boy for life when he has to find a job, or get an apartment.
So far this latest Social Media Social Hysteria has not
materialized to be a demented invasion of the John Wayne Gacy Fan Club, or
anything demonic or more sinister than a World-Wide-Web full of eager and
willing copy-cats.
With Ebola,
Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and
random psychotic killers that seems to be perceived by the general public in
the new millennium, maybe righteously,
as being ready-to-strike anywhere, or at any time around the nation. It
is no wonder we tend to jump on the media bandwagon, and allow ourselves to
become hysterical about some inconsequential controversy, or new national social
concern that the American people suddenly demand to be addressed and fixed in a
week or two; in order to make room for the next internet craze, panic, or
outrage.
With “Real” Pennywise and John
Wayne Gacy wannabes’ roaming California’s sleepy little communities once again, it’s all
right to feel paranoid these days, and more importantly, to hope that the new viral Social Media craze doesn’t
infect your home town next!

American Police Shootings: Racial Epidemic, or Media Epidemic?
American Police
Shootings: Racial Epidemic, or Media Epidemic?
By Brian Thomas Armstrong
God did not make man
in a racial image, but in his own; that is why we are all equal in the Lords
eyes.
(Genesis 1 26-27)
26: Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27: So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
(Genesis 1 26-27)
26: Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27: So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Anyone these days with a television set or a radio would
have to be aware of a seemingly national epidemic of racially perceived
unwarranted police shootings, sparking protests across the country and
promoting political and social debate that has seemed to unfortunately promote a spreading social opinion that is split down racial lines, rather than down rational
ones.
The national media has been accused of promoting racial
shootings over random shootings, or sensationalizing racial toned shootings
while virtually ignoring common race on race shootings and crime. Not exactly a
far-fetched accusation of the currant medias tactics, especially when main
stream media competes with social medias tendencies to fuel social hysteria
along with every post , comment, or like, over the High Speed Internets vast empire of
On-line users.
It seems that it is our
human nature to be ever ripe for a good or new controversy to post about. American media cannot be expected to carry
the full weight of the blame, we tend to demand for what we get and expect from
the media monster, and then self–righteously chastise it for doing so.
In giant urban cities like New York, New York, the racial statistical
reports on police shootings in the city look pretty damning to the NYPD at
first glance, with a staggeringly disproportionate 70% of the people who were
shot by police in New York City being African Americans according to The
New York Daily News.
The trouble with these sorts of statistics is they do not
truthfully gauge so many other factors that make these types of statistics seem
absolutely drawn down racial lines like, sprawling crime ridden areas that are
poverty stricken with large singular racial make-ups, that have both roots in
race and community, but are made up more out social cultural norms rather than
created by racism. Poverty, crime, social and cultural tension are not new
problems to American society, and simply blaming race for the societal and
economic problems and barriers that face a vast majority of us all eventually regardless of our race.
The best way of sifting through the latest controversies,
scandals, conspiracies and world calamities that seem to barrage us everywhere
we look these days, is pure and simple rationality, self-honesty of your own
political or cultural motivations in maybe secretly wanting to believe the
worst first, Take time to contemplate
the real social reasons for this seemingly plague of on-going racial tension in
America, and most importantly in this fast age of instant internet information traveling faster than the valid
facts and points of the real story. Reason, patience, conscious, faith and
openness are the true tools in fighting racism and flare ups of national racial
tensions. These tools have always been and always will be aspects and virtues of god’s
own image in ourselves.

The Serpent Strikes by Brian Thomas Armstrong
The Serpent Strikes
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
A snake uncoils within my mind
It strikes my reason as it unwinds
It slithers deep inside my pain
And nests itself deeper inside my brain
When sunshine rises amidst my rain
It wiggles out from under my rocks of
stepping stones, further into my psyche
Waiting there silently in order to bite
all those who are near and dear to me
Leaving more piles of bleached dry bones
hidden somewhere in my skull
It strikes my reason as it unwinds
It slithers deep inside my pain
And nests itself deeper inside my brain
When sunshine rises amidst my rain
It wiggles out from under my rocks of
stepping stones, further into my psyche
Waiting there silently in order to bite
all those who are near and dear to me
Leaving more piles of bleached dry bones
hidden somewhere in my skull

Broken Soldier
When they finally broke me - they screwed up and broke me beyond their usefulness, and to some extent beyond my own for decades - I could not justify killing for them any longer - and I would no longer allow them to further kill my original self anymore, no matter how hard they tried - and believe me they tried hard!

Illegal Immigrants: Amnesty VS. Opportunity
Illegal Immigrants:
Amnesty VS. Opportunity
Illegal Immigrants in America do not need amnesty – They need opportunity! Most are here in this country simply to earn money so they can send it back to their families in third world countries, in order to return home to a better life. Like most poverty stricken American citizens here at home, they resort to breaking the law out of desperation and self-survival. This capitalistic endless merry-go-round of a society based on the rich haves, feeding off the have-nots, threatens our cities streets, our population’s safety, divides our communities, and ensures a future generation of endless have-nots for the greedy to perpetually prey on. Immigration reform is a cheap political parlor trick for both Republicans and Democrats to divide and distract the population from reforming our political system, and bettering our nation’s legal citizen’s general population’s lives with real opportunity to succeed in true – Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - Poverty is simply a lack of opportunity and governmental integrity!

Never-ending Fools with Guns = Never-ending American Gun Tragedies
Never-ending Fools with Guns =
Never-ending American Gun Tragedies
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
“In a study of 23 high-income nations, 87 percent of
children under age 15 killed by guns
lived in the United States.
lived in the United States.
The same study found that
the gun homicide rate for teens and young adults
in the U.S. ages 15-24 was 42.7% higher than in
the other high-income countries combined.” (http://www.futureswithoutviolence.org/)
Last year in the beginning of 2013,
a 3
year old boy in South
Carolina got a hold of a small pink hand-gun that looked like a toy, and then
accidentally and fatally shot himself in the head. The boy’s seven year old
sister was also in the room with the child, luckily avoiding being shot herself
while her and her brother played with the small hand gun in a bedroom
unattended. The children’s grandparents where both in another room when the boy
shot himself; his parents were not home.
This year after several more well publicized mass-shootings and heated political debates on the subject of gun control, and mostly stalemate over the right to bare arms, there has not been much national progress in reducing or solving gun violence, let alone addressing public carelessness when it comes to active gun control and gun ownership.
This year after several more well publicized mass-shootings and heated political debates on the subject of gun control, and mostly stalemate over the right to bare arms, there has not been much national progress in reducing or solving gun violence, let alone addressing public carelessness when it comes to active gun control and gun ownership.
The latest shooting
range accident involving a
nine year old girl at the Burgers
and Bullets Range in White Hills, Arizona, highlights
the reckless stupidity factor of gun nuts, when the young girl fatally shot her
shooting range instructor in the head with an Uzi sub-machine-gun while being
taught to fire the weapon on - FULL AUTO!
The tragedy at Burgers and Bullets was not a first national travesty
of stupidity involving a young child at a firing range being given Uzi
sub-machine-gun lessons. In 2008, an 8-year-old Christopher
Bizilj also tragically and
accidentally killed himself while shooting an Uzi at a Massachusetts gun show
Fools with guns cause just as much pain and tragedy as
being mentally ill with a handgun. Universal background checks help, but
certainly they are not a cure for a lack of common sense, sanity, or human
decency in the firearm owner. What we need are good reasons for someone to have
a hand gun permit in order to get a hand gun, funded safety courses that do not
involve machine gun lessons, and of course thorough background checks - Then
society as a whole can truly say that we are all using common sense,
rationality, and human decency ourselves when it comes to real gun control and
public safety in America - For All Americans.
Ø 2694 children and teens died from guns
in 2010. That’s a roughly equivalent to a Newtown
massacre every three days.
Ø Between 1979 and 2010, more children
and teens died from guns
(119,079) than U.S. soldiers in the wars in Vietnam,
Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
Ø In a study of 23 high-income nations,
87 percent of children under age 15 killed by guns lived in
the United States. The same study found that the gun
homicide rate for teens and young adults
in the U.S. ages 15-24 was 42.7 higher than in the
other high-income countries combined.
Ø More than half of youth who commit
suicide with a gun do so with one obtained from their
home—and more often than not, the gun belonged to a
parent.
Ø In 2009, more 15-19 year-olds died
from gun violence than any other cause except motor
vehicles.
Ø In 2010, 82 U.S. children under the
age of five died from guns.

Public Servants or Public Tyrants?
This is how your "public servants" protect and
serve themselves - Police and Politicians are only interested in what you can
do for them! Otherwise you are just a cash cow to politicians, or cattle for
the slaughter to an increasingly militant American police force.

A St. Louis County police officer, who was seen pushing a
CNN anchor during protests in Ferguson, Mo., this week, was suspended from duty
after a controversial video surfaced, in which he fashions himself as a
merciless killer.
“I personally believe in Jesus Christ as my lord and savior,
but I’m also a killer,” said officer Dan Page, a 35-year veteran, in the video.
“I’ve killed a lot. And if I need to, I’ll kill a whole bunch more. If you
don’t want to get killed, don’t show up in front of me. I have no problems with
it. God did not raise me to be a coward." Page added, “I’m into diversity
— I kill everybody. I don’t care."

Obama’s Endless Boehner Moves
"Every time the president unilaterally re-writes the
law and ignores the Constitution, he does damage to the institutions of our
democratic government, and undermines further the bonds of trust between that
government and the American people." (John Boehner) - Not to mention that
Obama also makes Democrats look just as crooked as Republicans every time he
targets rivals and critics by illegally using government agencies as his Hench
men - Uses his extensive education in constitutional law to circumvent the
constitution, rather than uphold it - Chastises Congress for not working with
him, then intentionally breaks the law by bi-passing Congress in order to
exchange a war deserter for five Taliban terrorists so they can plot more death
and destruction on Americans and others World-Wide. Obama's worst crime could
be perceived as making Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and the
rest of his Up-Tight-White-Right coalition - Actually look like they were right
all along about the Obama Administration, and even more damaging; the
"New" Democratic parties moral political ethics in general!

Social Security Disability Insurance is predicted to run out in 2016 - Do you see politicians giving a damn - They are to busy still playing "The Cold World War" to give one rat's ass about their own people here at home. Obama is not your new hope - He is just another Corporate Puppet Dope!
"Part of the U.S. offensive in Iraq involves targeting millions of dollars of its own equipment given to the Iraqi Army during the U.S. occupation and later seized by Islamic State militants after they seized two Iraqi military bases this summer. According to Reuters, some of the hardware the U.S. is attempting to destroy includes M1 Abrams tanks (about $6 million per), Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (about $1 million per), and 53 M198 Howitzer cannons ($527,337 per).
Reuters estimates that the U.S. spends somewhere between $84,000 and $104,000 to destroy between $1 and $12 million of its own military hardware per airstrike." By David Ludwig

The Nut Factory
The Nut Factory
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
When I first
arrived here I would sleep in the back of a truck-bed in my living room. I
would wake up in the morning with nothing much to do, wondering, searching in
my mind as to what I should partake in during my stay here - and then I found
the factory, the old man told his visitor, with an enthused gleam in his eye.
I started out by
pulling taffy, and then tediously but joyously stretching it back and forth
along the long walls of the factory’s warehouse. I then started making
furniture so that I would have something to sit in while chewing on the fruits
of my laborious creations. Then I started making shoes for the long walks I
endured, and then grew to love, along the trail that I take to the market located
in the middle of our town square in order to sell all the goods that I make,
the old man said, brimming with pride.
My success grew
remarkably fast, so I then hired some of the locals that no one else would seem
to hire, although they were perfectly fine men and women in my view, and together we built the small industrial empire
that you see here today, all based on candy and shoes that took the local
business community around here by great surprise, creating many friends, and
also a few formidable enemies if you know what I mean , he winked at his
visitor looking very satisfied with himself – I am very very busy now as you
can see, and I can hardly remember that dark place the state of my mind seemed
to be trapped in before, when I was actively drinking that is. “I know how you
feel pop, I’ve also been in that same dark place many times before,” the old man’s
son told him in a somewhat solemn response. I’m very busy now as you can see,
and I really must go, his father repeated once more. His son told him he wanted
to come visit him again soon, and also bring some books back for him to read next
time. Oh yes please do - said his father - but never mind the books, there is
much for you to learn and do here, and I am in desperate need of help with my
factory, as you can see I am very busy here. “I would like that allot pop,” replied
his son, a sad smile was on his face as a tear started to well up in his eye.
There was also a frazzled looking, somewhat confused and distracted smile on
his father’s face as well, as father and son faced each other from across the
long wooden table. Very fine then, said the old man, it was assuredly nice to
see you again, and as I said before, I am very very busy here, and the factory
needs me as you can see. “OK pop, it was
great to see you too,” he reached over and held/shook his dads hand for a brief
minute, and then he stood up and left the room, forcing himself not to look
back at his father as he walked away.
The son looked back at the tall ominous brick
building that housed/incarcerated his father as he often did, while walking slowly
away from it towards his automobile in the always half empty dirt parking lot
in front of the asylum. He was once again trying desperately to hold back the
flood of welling tears that threatened to pour down the front of his youthful face.
This was a sad routine he knew very well, and expected every time he left one
of his few and fewer in-between visits with his disturbed father. He made
another silent vow to himself that he would visit the institution more often –
after all, his father certainly needed him now, more than he ever had before.
