3D Cockroaches and Pan-Dimensional Gods

I believe that our consciousness goes somewhere when we die, I don't know where, and I don't need a church to feel that way, I'm not religious, but I'm what you call an Agnostic Theist, look it up, if our consciousness doesn't go anywhere when we die, then what's the point, I find it hard to believe that we are a freak accident of nature on the planet earth that revolves around the sun, which revolves around a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, which is accelerating still, towards the edge of universe and out from the mysterious center of the universe. Past the edge of the universe there is chaos, and right before it there are objects they say that are made of 11 dimensional matter, we are 3 dimensional, I am convinced that time is the fourth dimension and we can't perceive it cause we are only 3d, we know it's there and we all experience time differently, therefore it must be the fourth dimension, and I heard something clever that I'll get to in a minute. I believe that there are these beings of pan-dimensional matter, I don't know how many dimensions, maybe 4 maybe 11, I don't know. If they exist, they are the gods, or god. And if they exist, why do they not reveal themselves, this is why: Have you ever tried to explain yourself to a cockroach???? No, you haven't. And why not?? Because the cockroach wouldn't understand, it's like that with these beings, they are so much more advanced than us they can't reveal or explain themselves because even though they may not be evil, to them we are cockroaches and we can't understand in this lifetime...

Goodbye Jasmyne

I will miss you, you have a beautiful heart, I'll never forget the day I met you in ninth grade health class and embarassed you, I didn't mean to, I just had a crush on you, I'll never forget the time we had together and I'll never forget what you mean to me and what I meant to you, you have made me appreciate life even more, and every day I will cherish now ten times more than before, goodbye to you, I love you and everyone who knew you well loved you in some way, thank you for the time you gave to me, and goodbye...

Murderers

So, we started the war in Iraq cause Saddam had something to do with 9/11 right? And he had weapons of mass destruction right? Hmmm, turns out that it wasn't true, so tell me why have we murdered approximately 511,965 Iraqi's since 2003, the end of major operations in Iraq. How in the lamb of god can we justify what we have done out there, I'm ashamed right now. We need to get these sick murderous bastards out of office, they are disgusting. That's all I have to say, here's the article.

Updated Iraq Survey Affirms Earlier Mortality Estimates

As many as 654,965 more Iraqis may have died since hostilities began in Iraq in March 2003 than would have been expected under pre-war conditions, according to a survey conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. The deaths from all causes--violent and non-violent--are over and above the estimated 143,000 deaths per year that occurred from all causes prior to the March 2003 invasion.

The estimates were derived from a nationwide household survey of 1,849 households throughout Iraq conducted between May and July 2006. The results are consistent with the findings of an October 2004 study of Iraq mortality conducted by the Hopkins researchers. Also, the findings closely reflect the increased mortality trends reported by other organizations that utilized passive methods of counting mortality, such as counting bodies in morgues or deaths reported by the news media. The study is published in the October 12, 2006, online edition of the peer-reviewed scientific journal, The Lancet.

"As we found with our previous survey, the majority of deaths in Iraq are due to violence--although we also saw a small increase in deaths from non-violent causes, such as heart disease, cancer and chronic illness. Gunshots were the primary cause of violent deaths. To put these numbers in context, deaths are occurring in Iraq now at a rate more than three times that from before the invasion of March 2003," said Gilbert Burnham, MD, PhD, lead author of the study and co-director of the Bloomberg School's Center for Refugee and Disaster Response. "Our total estimate is much higher than other mortality estimates because we used a population-based, active method for collecting mortality information rather than passive methods that depend on counting bodies or tabulated media reports of violent deaths. Though the numbers differ, the trend in increasing numbers of deaths closely follows that measured by the U.S. Defense Department and the Iraq Body Count group."

Key points of the study include:

* Estimated 654,965 additional deaths in Iraq between March 2003 and July 2006
* Majority of the additional deaths (91.8 percent) caused by violence
* Males aged 15-44 years accounted for 59 percent of post-invasion violent deaths
* About half of the households surveyed were uncertain who was responsible for the death of a household member
* The proportion of deaths attributed to coalition forces diminished in 2006 to 26 percent. Between March 2003 and July 2006, households attributed 31 percent of deaths to the coalition
* Mortality data from the 2006 study reaffirms 2004 estimates by Hopkins researchers and mirrors upward trends measured by other organizations
* Researchers recommend establishment of an international body to calculate mortality and monitor health of people living in all regions affected by conflict

The mortality survey used well-established and scientifically proven methods for measuring mortality and disease in populations. These same survey methods were used to measure mortality during conflicts in the Congo, Kosovo, Sudan and other regions. For the Iraq study, data were collected from 47 randomly selected clusters of 40 households each. At each household selected, trained Iraqi surveyors collected data on the number of births and deaths that occurred in the household between January 1, 2002, and June 30, 2006. To be considered a household member, the deceased had to have lived in the home at least three months prior to death. When interviewers asked to see a death certificate at households reporting a death, it was presented in 92 percent of instances. The survey recorded 1,474 births and 629 deaths among 12,801 people surveyed. The data were then applied to the 26.1 million Iraqis living in the survey area.

While the survey collected information on the manner of death, the study did not examine the circumstances of the death, such as whether the deceased was actively involved in armed combat, terrorism, criminal activity or caught in the middle of the conflict. The study outlines other limitations of the survey method, including the hazards of collecting data during a conflict.

The results from the new study closely match the finding of the group's October 2004 mortality survey. The earlier study, also published in The Lancet, estimated over 100,000 additional deaths from all causes had occurred in Iraq from March 2003 to August 2004. When data from the new study were examined, it estimated 112,000 deaths for the same time period of the 2004 study. The new survey also found that the number of deaths attributed to coalition forces had declined in 2006, though overall households attributed 31 percent of deaths to the coalition. Responsibility could not be attributed in 45 percent of the violent deaths.

According to the researchers, the overall rate of mortality in Iraq since March 2003 is 13.3 deaths per 1,000 persons per year compared to 5.5 deaths per 1,000 persons per year prior to March 2003. This amounts to about 2.5 percent of Iraqi's population having died as a consequence of the war. To put the 654,000 deaths in context with other conflicts, the authors note that during the Vietnam War an estimated 3 million civilians died overall; the Congo conflict was responsible for 3.8 million deaths; and recent estimates are that 200,000 have died in Darfur over the past 31 months.

"Mortality after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: a cross-sectional cluster sample survey" was written by Gilbert Burnham, Riyadh Lafta, Shannon Doocy and Les Roberts.

I guess we still don't really know

But here's some good information about the relations of intense hurricanes and current trends to or not to global warming. The conclusion that they come to here is interesting, "We conclude that global data indicate a 30-year trend toward more frequent intense tropical cyclones. This trend is not inconsistent with recent climate model simulations that a doubling of CO2 may increase the frequency of the most intense cyclones, although attribution of the 30-year trends to global warming would require a longer global data record and, especially a deeper understanding of the role of hurricanes in the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean, even in the present climate state." For those of you that don't want to read the whole page, here is the other important part "When taken as a whole, the pattern appears to be better characterized as being dominated by active and inactive periods that oscillate through time, rather than being one that indicates a temporal trend. This characterization is one that does not fit so well with the concept that hurricanes are becoming more intense because of increases in atmospheric CO2." There is still not enough proof here, "While the impacts of the currently active hurricane period are being felt especially hard in the United States, there remains no scientific proof that human contributions to an enhanced greenhouse effect are the root cause."

V (the Revolution), The Chancellor (GW Bush)!! So Here it is, V For Vendetta=A for Anarchy.

***BEGIN TRANSMISSION***

Okay, so, I thought that V For Vendetta was going to suck ass, but I decided to go see it simply because, well, I'm not really sure why. Although, subconsciously I would guess that it had to do with the V in the trailers.

Now I thought, at the time, that maybe I had been reading into this too much, but if you turn the V symbol upside down, and put a line through it, what is it now?
That's right folks it's an anarchy symbol, I have to say, anyone who has not seen this movie, needs to do so, those of you that are on the level will understand why this movie is so important, and to get you to do it, when I thought I was reading into it too much, I was very wrong. The political implications in this movie are absolutely phenomenal, I was in shock and awe by how much this movie could scare me if this were to happen in real life, and with the new federal ID's in 2008, we're well on our way to full government, or I should say dictatorial control. The movie reminded me of what Brazil would have been with a different ending. We gotta do something about this country before we amass the level of government that the world of Brazil and V for Vendetta has fallen prey to. See this fucking movie, asap...

Watching it burn

I have noticed, as I'm sure many of you have, that the world seems to be rearing up to voice extreme discontent at the environmental disregard we greasy monkeys seem to have. I don't know about any of you, but the rash of severe "natural" disasters over the past months seem to me a clear, pissed-right-off warning from whatever cosmic or natural force it is that keeps this earth spinning: "QUIT FUCKING WITH MY SHIT!"

It shouldn't surprise me that the automotive and petroleum industries have felt a bit of a squeeze, and have tried to pawn themselves off as "emission-reduced"or "enviro-(blank)", but the enormous push in television and print media has me a bit aghast. Not to mention that President Bush virtually flat denies the reality of global warming (as with most other realities) which doesn't exactly sell the dire situation the world is in to his leagues of gas-guzzling, aerosol spraying, cigarette-puffing followers. No, according to the Church of Dubya we are entitled to wrest from the loins of this earth whatever offspring might cozy up our existence. Never mind anybody else who might have to survive amongst the table scraps of our excesses. They'll figure it out. There's always been enough gas to go around. They'll be fine.

Folks, the world is screaming at us, and systematically killing us off. I say, rightly so. It has survived for thousands, no, millions of years. Ice ages. What makes anybody think that our unique brand of slash and burn has been going unnoticed, or that the world would support that behaviour long? What really pisses me off is that while I don't own a car, take rides from others as infrequently as possible, walk or take a trolley bus everywhere, DO NOT USE AEROSOL, do not buy products that I can't recycle, my line of decendants and myself will live to suffer punishments intended largely for others. Pricks.

Remember "Waterworld"? Kevin Costner? Webbed feet? Sure it's a movie, but how far off the truth do you think that environ was? How long do you think it took people to learn how to "recycle" their own urine? How many mouthfuls of warm piss do you think it took to get it right? The idea of reducing those who remain on the earth to that sort of level nauseates me. It's all too feasible.

Who has kept count of deaths from overly severe natural disasters? Hurricaine season in the south is well known, as are tsunami and earthquake seasons in Asia, yet every instance of these this year have been unprecedented. Bolts rattling, careening out of control - how bad can it get? Well, consider this: the level it's at has never been seen before. At this point, I don't think we even have a proper scale for "bad".

Everybody out of the pool.

419 Fraud

I found an interesting article on the Nigerian 419 Fraud scams, if you aren't familiar with these read the article anyway, it's an interview with a guy from Nigeria that used to participate in these scams, it's pretty f[CBDG]d up how complicated, yet simple these scams are, the article gets especially interesting toward the end of the last page when they start talking about the people stationed here in the US that get paid to threaten and watch the people that are the "victims" of these scams.
