Official disclosure of extraterrestrial life is imminent

An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology.

The impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret implementation of a year long openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussions where approximately 30 nations secretly agreed on a new openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life in 2009. The openness policy was implemented but never publicly announced due to threats against UN diplomats not to disclose details of the secret agreement. h The secret UN agreement was based on two conditions. First, UFOs would continue to appear around the world; and second, the openness policy would not lead to social unrest in liberal democracies. Both conditions have been satisfied making it possible for the next stage to begin – official disclosure of extraterrestrial life.

By itself, this disclosure would laughable due to the fact that Obama is such a lying MFCSCommunist looking to rape the world of it's wealth in collusion with the United Nations. However, there was this report earlier this month...

Vatican prepares for extraterrestrial disclosure
November 12, 9:26 AM

Michael Salla, Ph.D.

The Vatican has just completed a five day conference astrobiology where scientists convened to discuss the detection and implications of extraterrestrial life. A major driving force behind the conference was the Director of the Vatican Observatory, the Jesuit priest Father Jose Gabriel Funes. In May 2008, Funes gave an interview to the Vatican’s L’Osservatore Romano newspaper saying that the existence of intelligent extraterrestrials posed no problems to Catholic theology. The conference itself was officially convened by the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences, chaired by its religious leader Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, and was held on private Vatican grounds from November 6-10. Together with Funes’ 2008 interview and subsequent public comments by him, the conference demonstrates a welcome openness by the Vatican on the possibility and implications of extraterrestrial life. The Vatican’s openness to discussion of extraterrestrial life is no accident. It is part of an openness policy secretly adopted by the United Nations in February 2008. In fact, the Vatican is playing a leading role in preparing the world for extraterrestrial disclosure.

*snip*

The Vatican’s new openness on extraterrestrial life is consistent with reports of secret discussions held at the United Nations that began in February 2008. The Vatican’s permanent representative to the UN, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, was reported to have attended along with a number of other prominent government officials to discuss increased UFO sightings and the implications of extraterrestrial visitation. Significantly, Migliore's position requires that he maintains close relations with the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences. At the time of the secret UN discussions, Migliore made a presentation on moral issues associated with scientific problems such as climate change. Most importantly, the UN discussions reportedly led to a new policy of openness being adopted by approximately 30 nations that would begin in 2009.

I don't normally pay much in the way of homage to paranormal activity. Most of what is out there can be explained one way or another through scientific analysis. Like most folks, I believe in what I can see and that includes believing in God. Just look around at the absolute beauty, brilliance and complexity of what makes up the universe and the Earth that sustains our life forms. We were no accident and we didn't just jump from monkey to man overnight by chaotic circumstance.

I believe our the creation of our species is result of genetic evolutionary intervention by our Creator. I also believe that angles and demons, as mentioned in ancient texts, are what we would classify today as extraterrestrial beings and extra dimensional manifestations of spiritual energies. Regardless, how vain can we be to think that in the infinite vastness of the universe, we are the only living beings in existence.

As a Christian, I believe we were created with a soul. It is our soul that drive the vehicle of our humanly existence and it is the purity of our soul that determines our fate after we leave our mortal lives behind. God made us in the likeness of His image and after our mortal lives have ended, He wishes for our souls to return to Him. The only catch was that we were given free will and because of this we are susceptible to temptations that lead us away from God. I believe that He gave us the Commandments as a standard in which to live and maintain His good favor. And I also believe that for the salvation of our souls, he sent us his one and only son, Jesus, to show us the proper way home.

Unfortunately for us, there IS also a devil - a force of evil, if you will - and he does seek the ruin of our souls. He was given free reign to hold sway over the Earth and its inhabitants since the dawn of our time. He has perfected his wickedness over the millennia and has become the master of lies and deceit. His control over the minds of men is inherently the downfall of our civilized society. This world is gripped by insanity, which I believe is a byproduct of the devil's influence. Today, Man, in his conceit and arrogance, dismisses belief in God and declares that he can live and advance without God's divine providence. What folly!

At this point all I can firmly say is that there is some really weird things going on out there and almost nothing surprises me anymore, but this can end up being the mother of all mind-fucks. With the Vatican now girding itself for such a revelation, all indications appear that we are in for some serious social upheaval. All I can do is pray for the best, be prepared for the worst and despite any illusion the Devil may throw up in my face, I will continue to worship God as my Heavenly Father and Christ as my personal Savior.

STUFFED!!!

Giving thanks is what it's all about

Irregardless of all that is wrong in the world and the problems and hardship you face in your life each day, be thankful for what you have in this world, because I can guarantee if you're reading this posting, you have it better than most of the people on earth.

Happy Thanksgiving

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
FOX News

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Aw, poor widdle queda boy bust his widdle wip???
Maybe next time the Seals can avoid all this bleading heart PC bullshit and just kill his sorry jihad ass!

IT'S GETTING HOT OUT THERE FOLKS!

Climate "experts" who would stake lives livelihoods on global warming being a reality, are already circling the wagons. As the heat under their collectivist asses is getting turned up, millions of the world's scientists, including the general public are becoming increasingly aware of the damning evidence mounting against their efforts to sell the world a bunch of trumped-up scientific data aimed at handing over the world's economic and political power to the socialists and communists.

In the trenches on climate change, hostility among foes
Stolen e-mails reveal venomous feelings toward skeptics

By Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 22, 2009

Electronic files that were stolen from a prominent climate research center and made public last week provide a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes battle to shape the public perception of global warming.

While few U.S. politicians bother to question whether humans are changing the world's climate -- nearly three years ago the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded the evidence was unequivocal -- public debate persists. And the newly disclosed private exchanges among climate scientists at Britain's Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia reveal an intellectual circle that appears to feel very much under attack, and eager to punish its enemies.

In one e-mail, the center's director, Phil Jones, writes Pennsylvania State University's Michael E. Mann and questions whether the work of academics that question the link between human activities and global warming deserve to make it into the prestigious IPCC report, which represents the global consensus view on climate science.

"I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report," Jones writes. "Kevin and I will keep them out somehow -- even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"

In another, Jones and Mann discuss how they can pressure an academic journal not to accept the work of climate skeptics with whom they disagree. "Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal," Mann writes.

"I will be emailing the journal to tell them I'm having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor," Jones replies.

Patrick Michaels, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute who comes under fire in the e-mails, said these same academics repeatedly criticized him for not having published more peer-reviewed papers.

"There's an egregious problem here, their intimidation of journal editors," he said. "They're saying, 'If you print anything by this group, we won't send you any papers.' "

Mann, who directs Penn State's Earth System Science Center, said the e-mails reflected the sort of "vigorous debate" researchers engage in before reaching scientific conclusions. "We shouldn't expect the sort of refined statements that scientists make when they're speaking in public," he said.

Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute who has questioned whether climate change is human-caused, blogged that the e-mails have "the makings of a very big" scandal. "Imagine this sort of news coming in the field of AIDS research," he added...

*snip*

Christopher Horner - as mentioned in the previous article - can be seen here mopping the floor with a genuine global warming alarmist moonbat...



It will be interesting to see which way this goes.

If there is legitimate scientific debate amongst those who are truly qualified to remark on such matters, then the outcome will hopefully put to death the lies we have been fed for at least the past 40 years. But I have my doubts. You see, too many governments have become dependent on the economic slavery of their populace and their financial system would break under the weight of an entire collapsing industry - that industry being todays definition of "green." The money that governments spend in one form or another, aimed at "green" research and development, would suddenly become unnecessary and hundreds of thousands of individuals would be joining the rest of us on the unemployment lines.

HAS THE ARMOR BEEN CRACKED???

IF THIS IS TRUE, AND TOO MANY FACTORS ARE INVOLVED FOR IT NOT TO BE, THIS STORY NEEDS TO GO VIRAL ACROSS THE WORLD TO EXPOSE THE MASSIVE FRAUD THAT HAS BEEN PERPETRATED ON ALL OF HUMANITY!!!

Climate Skeptics See 'Smoking Gun' in Researchers' Leaked E-Mails
Saturday, November 21, 2009
FOX News

Hackers broke into the servers at a prominent British climate research center and leaked years worth of e-mail messages onto the Web, including one with a reference to a plan to "hide the decline" in temperatures.

The Internet is abuzz about the leaked data from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (commonly called Hadley CRU), which has acknowledged the theft of 61MB of confidential data.

Climate change skeptics describe the leaked data as a "smoking gun," evidence of collusion among climatologists and manipulation of data to support the widely held view that climate change is caused by the actions of mankind. The authors of some of the e-mails, however, accuse the skeptics of taking the messages out of context, adding that the evidence still clearly shows a warming trend.

The files were reportedly released on a Russian file-serve by an anonymous poster calling himself "FOIA."

In an exclusive interview in Investigate magazine's TGIF Edition, Phil Jones, the head of the Hadley CRU, confirmed that the leaked data is real.

"It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago," he told the magazine, noting that the center has yet to contact the police about the data breach.

*snip*

The Telegraph has posted some of the more scathing excerpts from these emails, which the newspaper suggests points to manipulation of evidence and private doubts about the reality of global warming, though the much of the scientific language in the e-mails is esoteric and hard to interpret.

*snip*

This is only the tip of a massive iceberg. The United Nations, Al Gore and many other globalist sycophants have been using fabricated scientific data to ram the fear of "global warming" down our throats for political gain and now we may have actual proof of their attempt at defrauding the entire civilized world.

As more and more evidence stacks up in defiance of the "global warming" myth, some are trying to get the word out and set the record straight...

New Documentary Challenges Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth' on Global Warming
Updated November 21, 2009
FOX News

In 2007, a British High Court judge ruled that Al Gore's global warming film contained nine significant errors and should no longer be screened in schools unless accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore's "one-sided" views.

Al Gore's award-winning global warming film "An Inconvenient Truth," socked two years ago by a British court ruling that found several errors, is facing additional scrutiny with the release of a new documentary that seeks to rebut many of Gore's claims.

In Gore's film, directed by Davis Guggenheim and released in 2006, the former vice president argues that humans are causing climate change, a problem he says is the biggest moral challenge facing the globe.

If humans don't act to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases, Gore contends, the deaths caused by climate change will double in 25 years to 300,000 people a year, and more than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction in half a century.

The film went on to win Academy Awards for Gore and Guggenheim and to re-energize the environmental movement.

But in 2007, a British High Court judge ruled that Gore's film contained nine significant errors and should no longer be screened in schools unless accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore's "one-sided" views.

The film's "apocalyptic vision" was not an impartial analysis of climate change, High Court Judge Michael Burton said, adding that the film is "substantially founded up scientific research and fact" but that the errors were made in "the context of alarmism and exaggeration."

Buoyed by the ruling, two Irish journalists -- Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney -- released a documentary in which they gather evidence outlining the damage of global warming hysteria. In "Not Evil Just Wrong," they challenge the claims made in Gore's film and conclude that the film is not worth screening in schools because it is shown there as "an article of science, not faith."

*snip*

I beg to differ with the title of their documentary. Not only is it "Wrong," but I contend that it is very much EVIL as well. Here's another good TV documentary, which was shown in England, that make a very similar argument. I beg you, please watch this video...

Fmr. Governor Sarah Palin is on tour promoting her new book "Going Rogue." Several of her stops along the way include military bases where many - if not most of - the general population are her biggest fans. Now, I'm no expert on military protocol for VISITING STATE GOVERNORS!!!! But the following story reported on FOX News, left me a little puzzled. Like many of you out there, I got my own justified suspicions. Something just don't smell right and it will be curious to see if anyone can get to the bottom of this one.

Sarah Rules' Aren't Uniform at U.S. Military Bases

by
FOXNews.com

Officials at North Carolina's Fort Bragg have laid down a strict set of do's and don'ts for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during a book signing event there on Monday. But at Fort Hood, the largest military base in the nation, she'll be treated just like anyone else.

When it comes to the Sarah Palin "Rogue Tour," officials at Fort Bragg, one of the nation's largest military installations, appear to have laid down a strict set of do's and don'ts -- or did they?

Fort Bragg officials on Thursday said the news media would be barred from covering Palin's book-signing event scheduled for next Monday out of fear that it could turn into an anti-Obama rally.

Their decision reportedly also barred Palin from giving any speeches, autographs or taking photos with troops. Base officials later relented, allowing limited media coverage, but whether Palin was barred from speaking or interacting freely with base personnel and families was unclear.

"We have not put any restrictions on soldiers for taking any photos," said Tom McCollum, the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg. "Sarah Palin's people stepped forward and said she will not stop and pose for photos. That is not a Fort Bragg restriction."...

Army relents, allows media to Palin book event
Reverses earlier decision to bar reporters from Fort Bragg appearance

November 20, 2009

RALEIGH, N.C. - The U.S. Army said Friday it would open former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's appearance on Fort Bragg to media, a reversal from earlier in the week when the military wanted the event closed out of fears it would prompt political grandstanding against President Barack Obama.

The attempt to ban media at the event scheduled for Monday was met with protests from The Associated Press and The Fayetteville Observer. The military then proposed limited media coverage, but lifted that plan Friday.

"Given an outpouring over the past two days of media interest in covering the Nov. 23 book signing at Fort Bragg's North Post Exchange, Fort Bragg will assist interested news media who wish to cover former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin," said a statement released by Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum.

Marine Fights for His Life and Fair Compensation
Reported by: Laura Nichols
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
KOMU News

SPRINGFIELD - The VA won't pay for one Marine's injury.

Lance Cpl. Josef Lopez deployed to Iraq in 2006 when he was 20 years-old. He enlisted in the Marine Corps fresh out of high school and was enthusiastic about serving to protect the lives of others. He never thought that he would almost lose his own life from something as routine as a vaccination....

*snip*

The smallpox vaccine that Joe got from the Department of Defense just days before deployment was the reason for it all. Joe had an adverse reaction causing incredible damage. The bottom line: his immune system was eating away at his nervous system causing the nerves to deteriorate....

*snip*

The VA Department of Insurance Chairman, Stephen Wurtz, says Joe was denied because his injury didn't come from a traumatic combat event, but from a needle. He also said the government can't afford to cover injuries from vaccines.

"Any additional claims under TSGLI are paid by the government, and the government would now be paying that many more claims during a period of conflict," Wurtz commented.

Lopez said what upset him even more is the fact that they amended the TSGLI bill after he applied to specifically disqualify vaccine injuries form compensation. The Lopezes visited Missouri U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill to explain their fight for fair compensation. McCaskill is now working on a bill that would extend coverage to service members injured by vaccines.

"It would give him the same coverage and frankly I really think we need to take care of this young man and his family," Sen. McCaskill said in a satellite interview with KOMU. "He was willing to take care of us."

Through all of this Joe is not just sitting around. He now races a specially made hand cycle in the Marine Corps Marathon each October to raise money for other Marine families. His mom, Barbara participates in the 10K....

*snip*

Every now and then I give a thumb up to those stuck in a Democrat party that has been hijacked by liberals and communists. Going out of your way to do something right for our men and women in the armed forces is a good way of receiving my acclamation. For the most part, Senator McCaskill is one of your more fiscally conservative Dems. She's also one of those "blue-dogs" who is currently fearing the wrath of her constituents to vote against Harry Reid's 2000+ page health care reform bill. Missouri residents need to keep working on her to make sure she does just that.

ATHEIST SOROS FUNDS CATHOLIC GROUPS
By Cliff Kincaid
November 13, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

The critical role of the Catholic Church in passing national health care reform legislation is coming under serious media scrutiny. But the story has taken a strange turn. It has now been revealed that George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund operator and well-known atheist, has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into “progressive” Catholic groups that are significant players in the national debates over health care and immigration.

On the surface, it would appear that Soros would be opposed to many positions of the Catholic Church. A major financial backer of the ACLU, Soros supports such causes as drug legalization, the rights of “sex workers” and felons, euthanasia, radical feminism, abortion rights, and homosexual rights. He does all of this in the name of promoting an “open society.”

But a review of the records of his Open Society Institute finds that a group calling itself Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) has received $200,000 from them over the last several years.

James Todd of Pewsitter.com, which represents traditional Catholics, calls such groups “CINOs,” or Catholics In Name Only. He explains, “This group and several others have sprung up recently—I suspect purposely organized and funded—to counterbalance the growing influence of the faithful Catholics AND to try to deceive and mislead the middle of the road Catholics that have determined the last 13 Presidential elections.”

An AIM investigation also finds, however, that Soros money has gone into the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC), an organization established by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops back in 1988. It has received at least $530,000 from the Open Society Institute.

The two issues merge in the fact that the Catholic Bishops are demanding that national health care legislation cover illegal aliens...

*snip*

If anyone deserves the title and recognition as THE ONE AND ONLY BEAST as prophesied in the Book of Revelation, it should rightfully belong to none other than George Soros. This man is the epitome of all that is evil in this world today. He is a self-deprecating Jew, intent on the destruction of all men's souls on earth. Aside from assisting the Nazis in the murder of his own people during WWII, this man has wielded his wealth and influence across the globe in the forceful propagation of abortion, euthanasia, prostitution, homosexuality, feminism, atheism, class warfare, and communism. The more he twists this world into his version of the Devil's play land, the wealthier and more powerful he becomes.

For years he has been the bane of all that is holy to the Catholic Church. This man has dedicated his life to the demoralization of the general population within the Church as well as the decline of overall moral fortitude in civilized society at large. Pay close attention to this individual. His is the true power and influence behind Obama and his radical agenda of transforming our country into a smoldering pit of sewage. I emphatically contend that George Soros has done more in the name of true evil against humanity than the terrorist attacks of 9-11... tenfold!!!

Uh oh, someone forgot to pay off the politico corruptos...

Voices of Outrage from NYC and Beyond

11/14/09

Friends,

Well, yesterday was quite a day. The response to our call to action has been overwhelming. We have almost 100,000 signatures on our letter challenging Obama's flawed policy of trying the terrorists/war criminals who murdered our family & friends on September 11, 2001 in civilian federal courts.

The signatures include our many families of the victims of September 11, 2001 as well as many from the FDNY, NYPD and PAPD and retired military. But most of the signatures are from proud Americans who are as disgusted as we are with this abomination. We are organizing all the information and we will post all the signatures on Monday.

Check back here for updates and stay tuned for our next move!

Those who were most directly affected by the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America are speaking out against the ignorance of USAG Eric Holder and the Obama administration for bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - foreign mastermind of the worst mass murder on American soil - to Federal Court, essentially giving him the same Constitutional rights and privileges reserved for those who are citizenry of this country. Please take a moment and sign their petition, rejecting this and all kangaroo court show trials aimed principally at marginalizing our intelligence community and castigating the previous presidential administration, who successfully protected this nation for several years following the 9-11 attacks.

Happy 234th to the USMC!

On November 10th, 1775, the Continental Marines were formed as the land combat wing of the United States Naval Forces during the American Revolutionary War. They have since been the primary forward deployment forces of nearly all our military engagements.

I have several family members who are either active duty or retired Leathernecks, and the devotion of each to their country and to the Corps is absolutely remarkable.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!

In recognition of them and all others in the United States Armed Forces who have fought to defend freedom, what better way to honor them and show your appreciation for their service this Veterans Day than telling them of your gratitude directly. Major League Baseball and Welcome Back Veterans have teamed up to get your words of recognition directly to the vets themselves.

When I heard about the terrible events at Fort Hood, like many others, I knew it had to be the work of a terrorist.

Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists
UK Telegraph
By Philip Sherwell and Alex Spillius
Published: 8:17PM GMT 07 Nov 2009

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree.

As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

Hasan was praying at Dar al-Hijrah at about the same time, and the FBI will now want to investigate whether he met the two terrorists....

*snip*

So, here's my deep thought question of the day: Aside from the fact that we have a communist illegal alien in the White House, why is the military allowing political correctness to dictate policy when it comes to monitoring the behaviors of Muslims within the ranks? Better question yet: Why hasn't the DOJ or the CIA infiltrated the mosques in this country to find out who within the "religion of peace" on our soil is naughty or nice? My spidey senses are telling me that if those who are charged with the task of protecting us from Islamo-Fascists are being pussified by political correctness, the terrorist attack at Fort Hood is only a precursor of events to come.

Ghosts of prom dates past...

In the spring of 1988, just before I started dating my future wife, I was in the midst of the most rebellious phase of my life. I was very much into the hardcore punk scene. Nothing came close to the emotion one experienced being with lots of people crammed into a small space, listening to the thunderous sounds of a NYHC band, moshing around in a circle and releasing all pent-up frustrations in a furious explosion of energy. I can remember all the times having to go down to the city just to find hardcore albums and see shows that were otherwise unavailable up here - short of the venues that played in Middletown, NY at a makeshift music hall called "The Grunge Club." For a while, I used to hang out with a group called Affirmative Action who practiced and played there with other local bands before Mark Johnson began organizing headline events. Before that, we used to just call the place "The Warehouse", because thats what it was; a old warehouse with it's entrance being down an alleyway and up a fire escape - a freaking block away from the police station! The place was totally illegit for breaking fire code and in order to skirt the liqueur laws for the kegs, they sold empty cups for $5 a piece. It became a major hangout as more and more local underground bands formed and needed a decent place to jam-out.

Up here in Orange County, there were only a handful of girls who were into the scene. From what I found this far out of NYC, hardcore punk was mostly a guy thing. However, there was one girl who broke the mold. Christine O'Dwyer was a free spirit if I had ever known one. No one could ever hope to put her in a box and she was definitely no follower of passing fashionable trends. She was what you might consider a little hard around the edges, but she was still very much a beautiful girl... and I had the privilege of escorting her to the 1988 Monroe-Woodbury Senior Prom! In honor of such an occasion, I decked out in black tux, combat boots, Gunnery Sergeant chevron lapel pins and a safety pin w/ razor blade earing. Not to brag, but we looked damned good together that night.



It wouldn't be much of a stretch for me to say that we stood out a bit. Not like I gave a shit or anything. The food sucked and the music was DEFINITELY not to my taste, but we had a good time none-the-less. BTW, I was not the only guy there wearing combat boots that evening. Another friend of ours named Max wore his as well. I can't remember if Chris wore her Doc Martens or not. I think she did. Alzheimer's disease must be setting in. Maybe she'll remind me if she ever decides to take the time and read this post. With two other friends, we left the prom and crashed in a hotel room for the night. The next day the four of us took off down to Seaside Heights, NJ to hang out for the rest of the weekend.

After Chris graduated, she took off to California and I only saw her once more after that when she came back to visit in the early '90s. I missed her very much. We had lots of fun hanging out. I was happy to have recently found her on Facebook. She's back living in Monroe now and I hope that someday soon we can get together and bullshit over old times and a couple of cold beers.

Since way back when I started my jukebox, I've been meaning to get around to doing something and this occasion has given me an excuse for doing so. I dug out a shit-load of my old albums and tapes from storage and digitized some of my favorite hardcore tracks for your listening enjoyment.

*FAIR WARNING*
Most of the music posted on the following version of the MoFiZiX MuZiX Jukebox is considered by most folks out there to be:
1. Offensive
2. Nasty
3. Brutal
4. Obscene
5. Indecent
6. Mean
7. Ugly
8. Wretched
9. Insulting
10. Disgusting
11. Immature
12. Angry
13. Filthy
14. Violent
15. Crass
16. Insane
17. Putrid
18. Grotesque
19. Hateful
20. Vulgar
And quite a few other descriptive words which I have neither the time nor the desire to use... you get the general point!



Keep in mind that I listened to this crap for years... and still do on occasion when the attitude is ripe ;)

Listening to that old stuff brings back lots of memories. For nostalgic effect, I even pulled out my old leather jacket, suspenders and combat boots - the same ones I wore on the night of that prom - just to contemplate how it was that I survived those times. Uh-oh, the jacket don't fit, I must've gained a few pounds... LMFAO!!! The boots fit but they're way too stiff for stompage.

Anyway, that's a little glimpse into my wild past. It's amazing how things change in 20 years. Back then, I didn't think I'd make it to 35 and here I am working on the big five-oh. ...holy crap!

Oh, look what I found in my mailbox...

History 101

For those that don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers.. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals, and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democrat voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, politicians, bureaucrats, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women.. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively.. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing..

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.

And there you have it.

Let your next action reveal your true self .

Thanks Tom :)
