WHO'S killing OUR MOTHER THE EARTH?

It’s really very, very simple:  

In a murder mystery, how does Mr. Monk finger the killer?  By scanning the horizon for the dude with both motive and opportunity, of course.

And the dudes with both motive and opportunity to murder Mother Earth?  Charles and David Koch of Kansas, U.S.A.

MOTIVE?: The good brothers run a gas & oil company, “Koch Industries.”   Koch spews oil waste into the air.  This spewing is killing Mother Earth.  If the Kochs had to stop spewing, they’d lose billions -- and if Charlie and Davie were forced to lose even one measly million, they’d cry crocodile tears large enough to run a hydroelectric power plant until Christmas.     

OPPORTUNITY?: Charlie and Davie are multi-billionaires, and some of the richest men in America.*  They use their billions like a hammer to “buy” (or scare to death) U.S. politicians and judges.  Charlie and Davie are, therefore, effectively running the United States government. 

SOLUTION?:  I have no idea.  I’ve ID’d the killers; someone else is going to have to bring them to justice. 

BOYCOTT?: However, if you’re a boycotter, go HERE to identify some of the hundreds of products Charlie and Davie produce and sell all over the world.

*According to Wikipedia, “In 2011, Forbes called it [Koch Industries] the second largest privately held company in the United States (after Cargill), with an annual revenue of about $98 billion,[5][6][7] down from the largest in 2006.”

Mother's Getting GRUMPY (Frankenstorm)

Sitting here on the East Coast waiting to be blown to bits by Frankenstorm as they’re now calling it, I’m thinking the Great Mother is certainly getting grumpy these days. 

Under a full moon, three different storm systems are rolling in from three different directions to form one gigundo wake-up call.  

I’d run home to my family 900 miles west, but this Monster is threatening to swallow them too. 

Nope, once She has something to say, there’s no hiding from Mother. 

Some are saying Frankenstorm is Mother Earth’s revenge for Obama/Romney’s snubbing Her during the Presidential campaign. Neither candidate has mentioned global warming once. 

But Mother’s only trying to get our attention.  She’s worried about us. It’s not Her being hurt by the filth pumping daily into our air, water and soil, it’s us. Maybe in fact she’s having a humongous crying fit.  Maybe She’s weeping as She watches our species disappear from Her heart, blood and body. 

I suspect the Goddess wants us to wrestle the Earth out of the hands of the fossil-fuel barons now wrecking it.  We can start by making them pay to spew their garbage into our air.  I don’t know about you, but I have to pay to have my garbage carted away, so why should the Koch Brothers get to pump billions of cubic tons of their garbage into your air for free? 

Although President Obama tried to make the Koch’s pay to put their garbage out, the wily Kochs used their billions to sneak Tea-Party nuts into Congress, and the nuts lead a charge against Obama. 

So to start, let’s vote all those Tea nuts out of Congress, and Obama back into the White House. 

Dear American readers, the very least you can do is vote. Hopefully Frankenstorm will dry up in time for you to do just that.  

With love, 
Athana

jumping jehovah, the RAPING god

 The god of Abraham, bless his heart, was born with a sense of humor -- a psychopathic sense of humor, yes, but nevertheless a sense of humor. 

Yesterday, for example, U.S. Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock mamboed onto the national stage and informed us that rape “is something that God intended to happen.”

Dear readers, let’s sit back, relax, and ponder this a moment.  The deities we choose is up to us.  So what is your heart’s desire? 

1.     … A psychologically challenged god who roams the planet, sniffing out and raping hundreds of thousands of his children? Or …

2.     … A Mother Goddess who protects Her children from psychologically challenged rapist gods? 

Never forget: the choice is totally up to us. 

* For those of you not following U.S. politics, the Republican Party is sweating bullets to find a way to deny raped women the right to abort.   For example, recently Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin said women don’t get pregnant from “legitimate rape.”  The American Republican Party, in other words, has boarded the train to woo-woo land.

NEUROSURGEON, HIS CORTEX OFFLINE, sees THE GREAT MOTHER -- & labels HER "JEHOVAH"

How addle-brained is our Post-Inquisition world?  A hint:  One of our best and brightest sees the Great Goddess -- She actually shows Herself to him -- and although he admits She’s female, he swears to us She’s his Christian war god Jehovah. 

Yup, that Jehovah -- the primitive war god who got his jollies slaughtering whole societies at a time (Elamites, Hickamites, Ickymites, Itchymites, etc., etc., etc.)

Here is the good doctor in his own words, describing for Newsweek Magazine what he experienced during a coma in which his entire cortex was completely shut down:

“For most of my journey, someone else was with me. A woman. She was young, and I remember what she looked like in complete detail. She had high cheekbones and deep-blue eyes. Golden brown tresses framed her lovely face. When first I saw her, we were riding along together on an intricately patterned surface, which after a moment I recognized as the wing of a butterfly. 

"In fact, millions of butterflies were all around us—vast fluttering waves of them, dipping down into the woods and coming back up around us again. It was a river of life and color, moving through the air. The woman’s outfit was simple, like a peasant’s, but its colors—powder blue, indigo, and pastel orange-peach—had the same overwhelming, super-vivid aliveness that everything else had. 

"She looked at me with a look that, if you saw it for five seconds, would make your whole life up to that point worth living, no matter what had happened in it so far. It was not a romantic look. It was not a look of friendship. It was a look that was somehow beyond all these, beyond all the different compartments of love we have down here on earth. It was something higher, holding all those other kinds of love within itself while at the same time being much bigger than all of them.

“Without using any words, she spoke to me. The message went through me like a wind, and I instantly understood that it was true. I knew so in the same way that I knew that the world around us was real—was not some fantasy, passing and insubstantial.

“The message had three parts, and if I had to translate them into earthly language, I’d say they ran something like this:

“’You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever.’

“’You have nothing to fear.’

“’There is nothing you can do wrong.’

SNIP

“It was as if I were being born into a larger world, and the universe itself was like a giant cosmic womb, and the orb (which I sensed was somehow connected with, or even identical to, the woman on the butterfly wing) was guiding me through it….

SNIP

“I’ve spent decades as a neurosurgeon at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in our country….”

SNIP

"...the message that lay at the very heart of my journey: ... we are loved and accepted unconditionally by a God even more grand and unfathomably glorious than the one I’d learned of as a child..."

You hit the nail on the head, dude.  Your "God" is a woman -- and She is indeed far more glorious than anything laid on you as a child in your Christian Sunday School.

CHURCHES: MILITARY Training GROUNDS?

Q: Why do Christians erect churches? 

A:  So they have places to train soldiers, silly!

Steve Klein, the man who helped with the anti-Muslim film that ended in the death of a US diplomat Wednesday, “…has helped train paramilitary militias at the church of Kaweah near Three Rivers, about an hour southeast of Fresno, [CA], to prepare for what they believe is a coming holy war with Muslim sleeper cells [in the U.S.]….”

GODDESS Bless THE CHRISTIANS, FOR THEY Know NOT A WHOLE LOT ABOUT ANYTHING

Well, I’ll be a bee’s knee!  The word “god” used to be a neuter word!  In a zillion years you’ll never guess who made it for dude-deities only!  

Christians.  [Oh.  You did guess?  As soon as I said “You’ll never guess in a zillion years?...]

The etymology of “god” (at least according to etymonline.com):

O.E. god "supreme being, deity; …  from P.Gmc. *guthan (cf. O.S., O.Fris., Du. god, O.H.G. got, Ger. Gott, O.N. guð, Goth. guþ), from PIE *ghut- ‘that which is invoked’ …

"But some trace it to PIE *ghu-to- ‘poured,’ from root *gheu- ‘to pour, pour a libation’ (source of Gk. khein ‘to pour,’ also in the phrase khute gaia ‘poured earth,’ referring to a burial mound; ….

“Not related to good. Originally a neuter noun in Germanic, the gender shifted to masculine after the coming of Christianity….”

GODDESS & THE Survival OF THE SPECIES

"Only women ... enabled to sense a female divinity within their own spirit can bring about the profound changes that need to be made if humanity is to last much longer....   


"The survival of any species depends on the nurturing behavior of it females, not the aggressive behavior of its males.

"...[T]he best hope for humanity is to return to ... male submission to the Goddess...."

Letter to the Children of 2062

I am so sorry.  Please, on bended knees, we beg for your forgiveness!

Most of us in 2012 never, ever wanted you scratching around in caves in abandoned hills grubbing out on cockroaches, leeches, Japanese knotweed*, and whatever else is left.  Many of us suspected this would happen, but we didn’t know how to head it off!

When the Big Bust hit, your great, great grandparents alone survived -- by grabbing the remaining food and uncontaminated water from the rest of us. That’s why your last names are Bush, Cheney, Romney, Koch, Rove, or Dimon.

In 2012, your great, great grandparents ran the world.  And being clinical psychopaths, in their minds bright flashing pictures of Money and Prestige crowded out all other images – including those of a dying humanity and a collapsing climate.  Oh -- and of your future.

And the rest of us did not know how to stop them. 

And we are so, so sorry…. 

___________

*Since 2004 I have done battle in my yard with Japanese knotweed.  After all other plants have succumbed to whatever holocaust hits us, trust me: knotweed will still be shooting its green little tips up out of the ground all over the place.  And with a smile on its face.

Calling All Mad Hackers with a Heart

GOOD NEWS!   6,642 world societies still remain un-skinned, un-sliced and un-diced by Jehovah and his stinky followers!  

Most are small and indigenous; some still worship goddesses. 

THE BAD NEWS: I learned the good news through “The Joshua Project”, a humongous online collection of “ethnologic data” scraped together “to support Christian missions” and “for sharing the Christian gospel all over the world…. “

In other words, stinkiness is about to crush hundreds of thousands of some of the Earth’s last happy people. 

Calling all hackers with a heart: how about scrambling up an internet site designed to slice and dice the last happy peoples left on Mother Earth?   Go HERE to scramble it.

RIDDLE: What’s the difference between christianity and cancer?

 (The answer's below; don't peek!)

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 ANSWER: Not much:

 Cancer crushes all cells but its own; Christianity crushes all religions but its own.

 The aim of cancer is to smash and fry everything but itself; the aim of Christianity too is to smash and fry everything but itself.

 When cancer hits town, the end of the story is often someone’s funeral.

 When Christianity hits town, the end of the story is society’s funeral – through a new swing toward never-ending warfare, a class system as rigid as sticks, and a new pool of poor people that never dries up.

Salivating CHRISTIANS?

Are Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann salivating over the thought of executing “adulterers,” gays and lesbians?

Chip Berlet says, “Yeah, could be. We need a few journalists with enough nads to pry the truth out of them.”

Chip writes for the Boston Globe, the New York Times, the Progressive, the Nation, and other publications.

A DISEASE TO BE Slashed AT THE KNEES

One of the most gruesome and grisly monsters ever to threaten our Mother Earth is the Kochtopus.

Go HERE to see.

So, dear readers: what Magic you hide right now up your sleeves, pitch at all eight of those Kochtopus knees!

GOD Hates AMERICA

Right on, dudes at Westboro Baptist Church and the Supreme Court of the USA! Yu have hit the proverbial nail on its very head! Yu are so SMART! The god Jehovah does despise America -- along with the world and everyone in it. He and his triplet bros, Yahweh and Allah? They all hate humanity. All ya hafta do is dance around a bit in their "holy books" to see what I'm sayin' is true.

SO WHY ARE WE TOLERATING DUDES WHO DESPISE US?!?

It's time to pitch these dudes out on their flappy ears. Down with Jehovah, Yahweh and Allah, I say! Up with the glorious, peaceful and humane goddesses and gods who adore us! Time to return the love given us by deities like Isis, Apollo, Holle, Bridget and White Buffalo Woman!

Chucking ABRAHAM

Alriiight! We're on our way! Next we need laws making it a felony to follow any god of Abraham!*

John Fiala, Texas Priest, Charged With Hiring Hitman To Kill Teen Who Accused Him Of Sexual Abuse

Behold! The war god Jehovah in full swing! Gobble the forbidden bird, and then squash what’s left so it can’t squeal.

In my book, Switching to Goddess*, I explain why we need to trade in Jehovah and our other war gods for the peaceful, unconditional-loving, guiding goddesses many human societies used to center around.
