Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer…

Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? Continue reading

Kokesh the Krooked Kointelpro Kon

Listen after 12:45. The interviewer brings up the possibility (=reality) Kokesh is a paid provocateur leading gullible gun owners to slaughter. To this charge Kokesh can only answer: “If that were the case I would hope I was being paid better.” Is this the type of response an honest person would give to such a charge? And, since he admits, here, to being paid, who is paying Kokesh, and why? Enquiring minds want to know… Continue reading

If the world were a random place to live in, then earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc could occur anywhere anytime, but they don’t. These occur in places and at times that follow a somewhat regular and orderly pattern as to time and place. If we choose to live in San Francisco, we know we risk being buried alive in an earthquake… if we choose to live in Oklahoma, we know we run the risk we run of being buried alive in a tornado… if we choose to live in Chicago, we know the risk we run of being shot… etc… Continue reading

Ritual Murder, Marathon Bombing, Sandy Hoax, and the Occult Significance of the Number 26

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
