This weekend I was depressed.  I had bad dreams that people did not like me, so I took a gun and blew my head off.  I prayed real hard to have better dreams and I did, last night I dreamt that everybody liked me.  Weird huh?

Update on the future.  I figure 2012 will be interesting and people are tired of me talking about it.  I think those of us in Oklahoma are going to be ok, but that’s only a guess, I have nothing but hearsay to base it upon.  My X wife said she had a strong feeling and I also have a feeling.  Also based on a dream I had long ago that the earth shook really bad and we had no TV, radio or telephone.  The discrepancy is, there was no mention of the Internet in this dream and I’m not real sure if that is relevant, but I’m guessing we won’t have any Internet either.  This is my guess from my brief studies on the subject.  Planet X will be headed onto a path right at us or close to it.  As planet X follows this path it will go right thru the Asteroid belt, and when it does this, as it has done in the past, it will send asteroids in our direction, at least one will hit us.  This has happened before to our earth.  But as in the dream, we lived, but didn’t know what happened.   This could explain why it was before I was born I saw a mushroom cloud.  I always believed it was an atomic explosion but now I believe it might have been an asteroid slamming into the earth.  All of this makes me think of the Georgia Guide Stones.

I have moved in with my old girl friend who has always loved me, as I have learned a great and simple lesson.  Though we must try to love all, don’t leave behind those who love you the most, they deserve your most.  Don’t try to make friends with those who want nothing to with you, just like Jesus when faced by a town of people who wanted him to leave, who thought swine were more important than people, he just walked away, that’s what you got to do. 

I’ve bought my girl friend an engagement ring, we plan on getting married in May.  She has lost her job.  I hope she finds a job soon so that we can begin to make plans.  I will be a grandfather in February and I’m not sure how I feel about that.  I’m supposed to be happy, but the grandchild will live over a thousand miles away so what’s the point, just means I’m getting older, but I’ll pretend to be happy because that’s what I’m supposed to do.  We are supposed to visit in May when the child is baptised and please don’t comment about the value of children being baptised, I will not post it, it doesn’t matter.  I believe God appreciates it anytime we think of him, and yes I believe God is a him based on a dream I had, so leave that one alone also.  We don’t know, we really don’t, people should just be allowed to believe what they want, you don’t know, so how can you tell anybody that they are wrong, because you might find yourself turning around some day and saying, “they were right all along.”

If my girlfriend gets a job I will buy me a new computer, it will have a solid state hard drive, something I’ve been waiting for a very long time.  I thought hard drives that spin in circles at thousands of rpms just to give us our data was a joke and was always wondering when we would move out of the dark ages, finally, can’t wait to get my hands on it.  A job with the Coca Cola Company looks promising, I will pray.

This blog used to link with my facebook, recently that has not worked, I need to figure out why, but if this post doesn’t, well then I’ll have to do it my self.  My facebook name is Minister Roger Peacefulpoet.  Sounds corny I know, but that was the only way facebook would let me do it, as I have recently became an ordained minister.  I had to make my first name minister, it would not except reverend.

Emily, one of my friends on facebook just brought up a good point.  Whether or not the green house effect really has an effect on the climate is only one part of the problem, a lack of oxygen is causing people to become sick.  Recently it has been discovered by accident that a lack of oxygen causes paranoia in people.   I was at a party some time back and someone had mentioned how everyone is so paranoid these days, I said, “it was the lack of oxygen.”  Everyone laughed, they thought I told a joke.  The other problem is TV,  if you come to know me you’ll hear me blame a lot things on the TV, but it is to blame for a lot of things.  On TV, the glass is almost always half empty.  We seem to be attracted to that, but in the end, the hero always wins.  In the real world we are never faced with all this death and destruction, and while we imagine ourselves as being the hero, in real life, we can never be that person, because that person is acting and the story is never real, even when they call it reality tv.  So we look around us and expect those we like to be that imaginary hero.  When we look at others we will always compare them with those we encounter on tv, the good and the bad, and these are only people acting out characters that don’t even exist.  So when the earth shakes and the tv will no longer work, it will be a good thing, we will be forced to see each other and ourselves as we really are and stop pretending to be something else or expecting others to be different.  The hypnotic trance of consumerism will pass and we will have to find new ways to be happy.  Rather than buying new things and throwing old things away, we will learn the value of things, ultimately the value of each other.

STOP ONE TEAR TODAY

Cindy Sheehan posted this on her Facebook and I thought I should repost it. Discouraged, Satan is the ruler of this world and we can’t change that. I tried to commit suicide and lived anyways and what the hell for. I’ll tell you why:

If I can stop one tear from falling today, I will have a good day. If you could stop one tear today, you can have a good day. If we all stopped one tear, we can all have a better day and the world can have a better day. We can never win, “BUT” we can make things better and that’s why we’re here.  So do your part and “STOP ONE TEAR TODAY”. Don’t give up like I tried to do.

Peace and Love

Where’s The Women’s Movement

News No Comments

I was watching a CNN clip and once again reporting to you is this young women.  All anchor woman are young.  I don’t care which channel you turn too, they are all young women.  What happens when they get in their 30s and 40s, do they take early retirement.  Does Fox news go to the older anchor woman and say, because you made all the men happy standing their looking all beautiful these past ten years, we’re going to let you retire, take the rest of your life off on us.  Somehow though I don’t think so.  Do they tell them, well you’re older now and men and or women don’t enjoy looking at you so much anymore, ratings are falling, so, we’re going to have to get rid of you.  I don’t think they would be that mean, we’d here about that I’m sure.  Still, I am a little curious as to how they do that.  And the women’s movement doesn’t even notice, or are they just too happy that women have jobs that they don’t notice.

I bet if you took a census you would discover that it is easier for a women in her twenties and thirties to find a job then it is for a women in her 40s.  I would think that someone in the women’s movement would have some numbers on this.  And for women in their 50s and 60s it just gets worse.

I’m Not Delusional

History, Just Me, News, No War, Relationships, Religion No Comments

I told my therapist about how I remember before I was born.  I was in a wonderful place where there was perfect peace that is indescribable. Looking down I saw awful things, fighting and murder and such, I can’t recall all the details but I do remember the last thing I saw was a mushroom cloud bellowing up. An older man with white hair, beard and moustache (who in my younger years I believed was Jesus) came to me and said, “It’s time to go.” I felt like I knew it was coming but I was hoping it wouldn’t happen. I just could not believe after seeing all this, I would be sent there, I was distressed so much that my inside shook and tears flowed from my eyes. Understanding my pain, the older man wanting to reassure me that I would be okay put his hand on my shoulder and said, “It will be Okay.” You figure my father who was abusive never hurt me and  I spent 14 years in the Navy and never even fired a gun.

So my therapist told me a story about when she was eight and had an out of body experience.  She was very sick lying on the coach and left her body. The pain went went away and she felt so wonderful.  She was told she had to return but didn’t want to but was gently forced to anyways.

There is a better place to be where we all love each other and there is peace and happiness. I tried to go back there but couldn’t, so I guess I’m here for a reason and may someday find out why, maybe I will know why in 2012.

But never the less, I’m not crazy just because I remember something others cannot.  Things greater then we can explain.

So there we go.

Love
Roger

To Those To Whom It May Concern

Just Me, Local news, News, Politics, Relationships, Religion, Wisdom No Comments

If you start a bridge on fire and then try to put the fire out, you might get burnt, but I wished you would have, I wished you could have and I thank you for the effort.

I know I have done some wrong, and if I ever hurt anyone, it was by accident, I never meant to hurt anyone.

I have been wronged too by some of you.

I may never be forgiven but I have forgiven everyone and hate no one and am happier for it, and you can be too if you chose too.

I regret that there are some who had a special place in my heart and are no longer reachable. But my porch light is always on and everyone is welcome.

Sincerely

How Do You Spell Fascist? “rumsfeld”

News, No War, Religion No Comments

From GQ

AND HE SHALL BE JUDGED

Former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld has always answered his detractors by claiming that history will one day judge him kindly. But as he waits for that day, a new group of critics—his administration peers—are suddenly speaking out for the first time. What they’re saying? It isn’t pretty

on the morning of Thursday, April 10, 2003, Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon prepared a top-secret briefing for George W. Bush. This document, known as the Worldwide Intelligence Update, was a daily digest of critical military intelligence so classified that it circulated among only a handful of Pentagon leaders and the president; Rumsfeld himself often delivered it, by hand, to the White House. The briefing’s cover sheet generally featured triumphant, color images from the previous days’ war efforts: On this particular morning, it showed the statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down in Firdos Square, a grateful Iraqi child kissing an American soldier, and jubilant crowds thronging the streets of newly liberated Baghdad. And above these images, and just below the headline secretary of defense, was a quote that may have raised some eyebrows. It came from the Bible, from the book of Psalms: “Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him…To deliver their soul from death.”

This mixing of Crusades-like messaging with war imagery, which until now has not been revealed, had become routine. On March 31, a U.S. tank roared through the desert beneath a quote from Ephesians: “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” On April 7, Saddam Hussein struck a dictatorial pose, under this passage from the First Epistle of Peter: “It is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.” (To see these and more Bush-administration intelligence cover sheets, visit GQ.com’s exclusive slideshow).

Battling With High Blood Preasure and Sexuality

Luckier than most, I caught it early and found a smart doctor who knows why and can explain it to me.  My delima is that I can’t take DHEA or Yombe as those two items appear to raise my blood pressure.  These two items do very well keeping you sexually young.

This is a strange thing that young people might not understand, but I’m sure many my age would understand.

In my younger days I would masturbate and get myself off about 3 times a day and I thought I was a sinner and I felt real guilty about it, but it seemed I couldn’t do nothing about it.  When a women walked by who I found attractive, magic would happen inside, I would be awe struck, like a dear in headlights.

Years later I had discovered that there was nothing sinful about this at all.  It is perfectly natural. Everybody is different and some people are more sexual then others and it is not a curse or sign of weakness, but a blessing that has been ruined by an awful belief that sex is sinful.

How can you explain this to a young person without coming off sounding like a perv?  That is a very painful thing.  Very sad that we live in a society that is sex phobia and sadly the young people pick it up right away and will also bear their children in sinfulness.  Only Jesus born of a virgin is righteous.  If I’m not mistaken, this is the 21st century isn’t it?

Now that I’m older and this magic no longer happens and it is even difficult to get off once a day, sometimes impossible.  Some would say that I’m still pretty lucky.  There are a few who have never experienced an orgasm and yet others, very rarely and they might mistakenly believe it is because they are righteous while inside they feel anger finding it difficult to experience bliss.  Be careful of these people.  I believe they are the conservatives who believed in Bush, I bet you Dick Cheney is one of them.

We need to learn to talk about these things. Ok, that’s all I have to say for now.

Justice

They pushed her in the door
She hit the floor
Stealing those gifts from family and friends
Laughter was all they said

Got a thousand pounds of hatred crumbling my soul
I want to kill the person who hurt me so

They hit him in the head
He hit the ground
Stealing the earning of another man’s labor
Laughter was all they said

Got a thousand pounds of hatred crumbling my soul
I want to kill the person who hurt me so

The word within speaks
“Is not your God a just God?
Will goodness come to those who do evil?
Come that judgment day
What will God have to say?”

By:  Roger Harkness

Living on the east coast, the local news can be so dreadful at times.  This was from a news story.  Followed an old lady home and just after she unlocked her door, they pushed her inside.  This became a common act of crime, like car jacking.  You just follow someone home and wait for them to unlock their door, you rob them and you might beat them up too just for the fun of it. You can’t help but be angry at those who hurt others just for the fun of it.

MUST READ – Green is good, Red is bad

ACTION ITEM, News No Comments

My wife forwarded this to me and feels it is  very important information to pass on.  Normal  alternative medications like echinacea will not work and actually will make things worse if you catch the swine flu or suspect you have it.  There are however other alternative treatments that will help. So what I have hi-lighted green is good and what I hi-lighted red is bad.  Pass this on.

Natural Antivirals Submitted by Health Gazette on Thu, 2006-05-11 08:55.

Alternative Medicine

Regular readers know that I have no time for the nonsense relating to imagined bird-flu pandemics. However. I regarded the following item of sufficient novelty to be of some interest. You may judge its merits for yourself.

Research suggests certain natural foods may be as effective against virus H5N1 as commercial antivirals.

(PRWEB) May 10, 2006 — A Biology teacher from Australia, named Stephen Jones, has done extensive research into the H5N1 virus and compiled a list of natural foods that are effective against it and listed others that are detrimental.

The list may come as a surprise to many people since foods such as spirulina and echinacea are listed as detrimental. This strange occurrence is largely due to the fact that the virus is immune to 2 cytokines that the body produces (TNF-a and IL-6). Cytokines are compounds produced by the body’s immune system that attack and remove foreign bodies. The problem is that when a foreign body is immune to certain cytokines, the body sees that its immune response is not working and tries even harder, which can lead to what is called a cytokine storm, where the body becomes flooded with these compounds and they eventually destroy the body itself. Foods such as Echinacea
actually stimulate the production of these specific cytokines; hence consuming it is not a good idea if one suspects they may have the virus.

During the 1918 Spanish Flu many healthy young people died from cytokine storms due to their immune systems overreacting. Consuming foods which suppress the production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6 and enhance the production of the ones that actually are effective against the virus will aid the patient greatly.

Other foods that create mucous in the respiratory tract, such as bananas, are also listed as detrimental due to the fact that the predominant breeding ground of the virus is the respiratory tract and another way in which a patient may suffer is due to the body’s over production of mucous in this area.

Folk Medicines and Herbs to use and avoid with Bird Flu

Below is a list of foods that are said to contain substances that are natural antivirals, immune boosters or they decrease cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.

Alternative medications that are most likely to help us during a
severe pandemic:

Garlic (allicin) – Very effective antiviral. Best if fresh (raw) and
crushed. Must be consumed within 1 hour of crushing. Dosage is
initially 2 to 3 cloves per day but later reduce until no body odour
occurs. No toxic effects noted. (Pubmed PMID 9049657)

Vitamin C – Boosts the immune system and is an antiviral by blocking
the enzyme neuraminadase. Viruses need neuraminadase to reproduce.
There are anecdotal stories of people taking large amounts of Vitamin
C (children ½) surviving the Spanish Flu. Research shows that it may
reduce the production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. A study on 470
people involved giving the test group 1000 mg hourly for 6 hours and
then 1000 mg 3 times daily after reporting flu symptoms. Symptoms
decreased by 85%. (Pubmed PMID 10543583, 634178, 16169205, 12876306)

Green Tea (possible Tamiflu/Relenza alternative)- Very effective
antiviral. Also decreases the production of the cytokine (catechins)
TNF-a. Inhibits neuraminidase. May have antiviral activity that is
equal to other antivirals such as Tamiflu. (Pubmed PMID 16137775)

St Johns Wort (Hypericum) – Very effective antiviral. Also decreases
the production of the cytokine IL-6. Hypericum is an extract from St
John’s Wort. There have been some very successful field trials in
commercial flocks infected with H5N1 in Vietnam. (Pubmed PMID 7857513,
11518071, 11362353, 7857513, 11518071)

Vitamin E – Immune booster. Also decreases the production of the
cytokine TNF-a. (Pubmed PMID 155882360, 10929076) Experiments involved
using mice. Very suitable for immune compromised people, especially
the elderly. Effects enhanced when taken with Vitamin C.

Apple Juice – Antiviral. Fresh apple juice including the pulp and skin
has greater antiviral activity than heated commercial apple juice.
More research is needed. Effectiveness on H5N1 is unknown. (Pubmed
PMID 32832, 12452634)

Resveratrol – Antiviral. In addition to inhibiting neuraminidase,
Resveratrol also sends a message to cells to stop manufacturing
viruses. This is a proven antiviral found naturally in red wine,
peanuts, mulberries, Japanese Knotwood root (richest source), raisins
and red grapes. Resveratrol supplements are relatively inexpensive,
are more stable than wine and is available in liquid form for
absorption in the mouth. No toxic effects noted. (Pubmed PMID 1583880, 12817628, 15985724)

Scuttellaria (Skullcap) – Antiviral. A herb used as a tea. It has no
side effects and is also a mild tranquilliser. Research suggests
neuraminidase, which is a substance needed by the H5N1 virus to
reproduce, may be inhibited.

Cranberry Juice – Early research shows that it may be an antiviral,
making viruses less able to invade or multiply. Effectiveness on H5N1
is unknown. (Pubmed PMID15781126)

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) – Decreases the production of the
cytokine TNF-a. Also boosts immune system. The number of white blood
cells was significantly increased during treatment. No toxicity was
noted. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed)
Active constituents can be found in the leaves, bark, vine, and roots.
Water extraction from bark used. Children and pregnant women are to
avoid. Has a potentially damaging effect on the DNA of proliferating
cells. (cancers, foetuses, growing children)

Curcumin (Tumeric Spice) – Decreases the production of the cytokine
TNF-a. This is the yellow compound in turmeric spice. Research shows
that this may be very good for preventing a cytokine storm although
this is not proven. Must be taken with food or gastritis or peptic
ulcers may occur. Pregnant women and feeding mothers should avoid
this. The medicinal properties of curcurnin cannot be utilised when
used alone due to rapid metabolism in the liver and intestinal wall.
When combined with Piperine found in black pepper the absorption is
increased with no adverse effects. Obtainable from health stores in
tablets, liquid, capsules already combined with piperine. Dosage is
500mg to 4000mg daily.

Astragalus root (Astragali Radix) – Boosts immune system. (Pubmed PMID15588652)

Tea tree Steam Inhalation – Reduces the cytokine TNF-a. Add 2 drops of
tea tree oil in a bowl of steaming water. Cover head with a towel and
inhale for 5 to 10 minutes. Relieves congestion and fights infection.
Its effectiveness is unknown. (Pubmed PMID 11131302)

The following substances may be best to avoid during a H5N1 pandemic

Elderberry juice (Sambucal) – AVOID – Increases production of
cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. This substance is very effective against the
common flu but may not be desirable for the H5N1 virus. Increases in
these cytokines may trigger a lethal cytokine storm. (Isr Med
Journal2002 Nov;4:944-6)

Micro Algae (Chlorella and Spirulina) – AVOID – Increases production
of cytokine TNF-a. (Pubmed PMID 11731916)

Honey – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.
(Pubmed PMID12824009)

Chocolate – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.
(Pubmed PMID 12885154, PMID 10917928)

Echinacea – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.
Although it is often used for normal flu, research shows that it may
increase the chance of cytokine storms for H5N1. (Pubmed PMID
15556647, 9568541)

Kimchi – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.
(Pubmed PMID15630182)

Dairy products & Bananas – AVOID – These foods increase mucous production.

A Woman Shakes The Hand of A Brave Man

Naked Wizard Taser Brawl At Coachella (VIDEO NSFW)

huffingtonpost.com — The police officers beg and plead for the man to put on his robes, but all the Naked Wizard wants to do is be free of his wizard sleeves and hang in the breeze. He throws his colorful garb onto the grass. “It doesn’t have to stop,” the Naked Wizard says.


Indecent exposure – think about it. Let me ask, is there something indecent about our body. This is what we are taught. WHY DO WE BELIEVE IT? That’s a brave man, I wish I could be so brave.

Sad thing is, he will be charged with a sex crime. He will only be able to live in certain areas and all mothers will believe he is a child molester and every women will think he’s a rapist as the law will always require that he be identified. Strangely however murderes and violent criminals after their short stay behind bars, they are free.

Why did they tase him, one of the officers realising they had gone to far made them stop. Did you see that one officer knee him and the other pull his hair while he was down. Surely they could have just put him in handcuffs, draped a blanket around him, read him his rights and took him to jail. There were three of them and only one of him. When you brake laws enforcing the law, you are a hypocrite. Let me ask another question, who is worse, a hypocrite or someone who is not ashamed of their body?  Oh wait, I know, we’re all supposed to be ashamed of our body, now that’s thinking inside the box. Safe inside that box we are, only a few brave souls dare wander.

This is only a free country because people stand up for freedom, and when we stop doing that, we stop being free.  So stand up for those who take the chance who stand against the laws that keep us from being free.
