Dog Poet Transmitting.......
May your noses always be cold and wet.
Howdy Doody, the killer puppet clown was 'sworn in' for another term in recent days. By sworn in, I mean the Chief Injustice said to him at the conclusion of the farce, “Okay Fuckhead, get your bought and sold ass back into the Anal Office”; probably why it's oval. Yeah, there are all kinds of unpleasant specimens running around at the moment. This listing is not at all comprehensive.
The big question; what has been the big question, for a good while, is, “When are things going to change? Why are they going on so long? Why is nothing being done?” Well, that's 3 questions actually. I have no clear or clever answer to any of these. The dining table of the world has been turned into a Smorgasbord of Shit. It comes in various compositions and colors. Most of the edibles even taste slightly different from each other but they're all shit. Normal food is against the law, normal sex will soon be against the law and normal behavior is going to go from a misdemeanor to a felony. Honesty is going to be cataloged as a crime against Nature and Pederasty is being elevated to a legal requirement, similar to paying taxes.
I've been told the Kali Yuga is over. Apparently, the temporal zone hasn't gotten the memo yet. How can something be over if it is still happening? It must be one of those Zen things. Psychopathic behavior is still freewheeling down the boulevard of broken dreams and all those millions of urban dwellers living in “I don't Give a Rat's Ass Central” are walking down the street, waving their arms at invisible bugs. What these gestures are really communicating is, “I don't want to hear about it”.
They just want to be fed, get laid and have somewhere to live, while filling up their time, occupied with daydreams in the workplace and rhinestone entertainments everywhere else. You can't shake them awake. You can't reason with them, cause it's like trying to have a conversation with a somnambulist. What that gets you is walking into the same wall they do; that great big wall of silent indifference that waits ahead in all directions for the indifferent.
Mossad and the gentile goblin armies are not scaling back; no telling when they will publish the assumed names of these dark side cowboys. One of the most interesting and ironic puzzles of these last years is, why haven't there been any real terror events? We've had a bunch of false flag, Israel and her bitches, events but we have seen neither hide nor hair of any action coming out of the hot zones, where Israel and western forces are killing for profit, sport and armaments testing. You would think by now some enterprising easterners, who have had enough of the horrors visited upon them by the banker armies, would have blown some things up in all kinds of locations... nada.
History is full of all sorts of strange things. I'm passing familiar with this story but had never heard about the conclusions drawn in this article. It puts a whole new face on the episode and it sounds all too credible. I suspect there are many, many similar realities that permeate events and conditions which we seldom, if ever, hear about. Pretty much anything we are told is a lie or a half truth so, if you want to know what really happened, you have to dig deep or get a library card for the Hall of Akashic Records.
I was talking to Connie Lingle the other day. She's the sister of former Hawaiian governor, Linda Lingle, who was spawned from the same test tube as Janus Napolitano and she told me that her sister told her that an alien invasion was coming this year. I reminded her that external invasions are not the bigger problem. It's the internal invasions that are causing all of the problems. People with no sense of self are being telepathically hijacked and evicted from their corporal homes, or completely subdued by lower astral monsters from the inner planes. That's the reason there are so many bad TV shows, movies and music. No-one human would watch or listen to any of these but definitely, other, undesirable life forms would. So... if you're trying to figure out what it all means, regardless of whether you are named Alfie or not, this should explain it to you. I've taken my Phaser off of stun. It's the smart move. Even though me and smart moves adds up to some kind of oxymoron, I am trying to quit; no shit.
I know there are people out there who say, “He can't be any kind of a bonafide guru, he uses bad language." Actually my language is a great deal better that the ordinary school kid. Ordinary would mean below average because average is now below ordinary and ordinary doesn't come around much anymore in any case. Well, it just so happens that I have run into VERY high beings who use this sort of language. One of them was sporting a notable state of tumescence behind his khaki chino pants at the time in a kind of joie de vivre way. I'm guessing life (his life) really turned him on. Lao Tzu talks about being firm all day and filled with vigor. I think that has to be what it was; hopefully it wasn't just that he was attracted to me (grin) and a big “I'm kidding”, in case you happen to be reading this.
Moving right along, I'm going to Varanasi and then the Kumbha Mela in about a month, shortly after a visiting guest has finished his visit. I've been given to understand that I am going to meet someone or more than one, who are going to totally transform my life, so as to make me nearly unrecognizable. Well, I am already unrecognizable to myself (grin) but it is something to think about and I am accompanied by a disconcerting awe, through the length of my days as if some portion of myself is all too aware of this. Abul pointed out to me yesterday that this is a Maha-Maha Kumbha that only comes around every 24 years. You get a Maha Kumbha every 12 years. So this one is the Big Daddy of Big Daddys; would that make it a Mack Daddy?
Well, I am looking forward, while also whistling past the graveyard, in a recurrent micro shiver of anticipation to personal transformation because, come this summer, after I've had my recording session with Old-Boy in the UK, I do not presently know where I will be living; where or with whom, come summer. Certainly the Cosmos knows but all is quiet on the Visible Front, in terms of information. Maybe options are still being juggled and sorted. I've been invited to Ecuador, Australia, New Zealand and some other places but they are far away and involve a severing of all familiar associations. Part of me really wants to stay in Europe and I have friends there that definitely do not want me to leave. I've also made contacts here that have promised to expedite a ten year visa for me. They know the rubber stamp guys.
For some years now, the reader has been getting a collage-origami of my metaphysical take on things; well, it's not my take as much as a gurgitation of things I hear with the inner ear. I doubt very many readers are familiar with Aghora. I just finished a book by Robert Svoboda (I had already read one book by him) that chronicles the life of his teacher, Vimalananda. The book is called “Aghora at the Left Hand of God”. The similarity between many things said in this book and things I have spoken about over the years is interesting. In some cases there are exact quotes, although I never read this book until yesterday. There are events and conditions described in this book that go beyond anything most of us have ever encountered, yet they are all true, or I believe them to be. It shows you just how amazing and fascinating India can be. I am not an Aghori and have no intention of becoming one. My tendency toward instability and the rigorous requirements of this discipline, preclude my ever being so engaged. It would be a disaster and I am resigned to simple Bhakti because that is all I can safely manage, in hope of the jnana that might show up, we hope. I recommend you order this book from Amazon right away. It is a wild ride and a riveting read. You are definitely going to have to suspend all disbelief, I assure you.
I do not know what to make of my situation here. Powerful forces are impacting on me at all times. I can manage this better now. In the beginning it was real touch and go. Certain things I have engaged in for many years are now on their way out and this will bring me a much greater sense of vitality and clarity, along with an increased stability of mind, as well as a cleansing and strengthening of the nerve currents. I had planned on these things at some point. Then the point showed up all by itself.
I hope you will read and explore the links concerning Varanasi and Kumbha Mela. There is some fascinating information in them. However, reading the book I have recommended will astonish and astound you. It will certainly show anyone who reads it just how little they know and it will surely dispel certain egocentric assumptions we have about ourselves. Some may be turned off by the fact that this man is an expression of the Left Hand Path but the meaning and implications of that here are entirely different than elsewhere and so are the practitioners. This man does not come off as you might expect and the book will also grant you a much greater perception of what siddhis are and what they can do. I am not myself after these things though there are many times I wished I had some (grin).
Alright, enough for today. Let's see if I can get a radio show together now.

Thank you so much ~ Somehow you put into words what my muddled brain is trying to find expression for. I can tell that this is an amazing time for you. Enjoy the ride, brah. Aloha Nui Loa, Jen
Since I should have been asleep hours ago, I'll keep this brief.
This was a good read, Vis. The style of writing you used, especially at the beginning is one I especially enjoy.
In keeping with the shit theme, some might appreciate this.

My dear friends;
I am starting a new book, while I am trying to finish my old book. The new book is called, "Spiritual Crimes, Temporal Money and Spiritual Fraud" It is based partly on my time here in India and partly on my intensive research while in Europe, concerning all these Pop Tart gurus and is going to deal with their behavior juxtaposed with what they say.
Some of you have wide experience with these things and some of you may possess only an anecdote or two but I would appreciate any and all of you emailing me with whatever you have that I can use in this book. I intend for it to be both sad and amusing while being absolutely no holds barred. At the same time I hope to do it in a way that passes no judgment but where those under discussion convict themselves through what they say and do, or said and did since some of them are no longer around.
2nd paragraph brings to mind that paradoxical movie, 'Salò'. One of the most beautiful, yet disgusting flicks I ever saw. Reminds me to 'NEVER LET 'EM TAKE YA ALIVE!'
Good luck on your journey.
I hope you'll all take a moment to listen to today's song. It's one of my personal favorites and like everything else that happens around here, I didn't write it, I just streamed it down.
It was just one of those gifts I get in lieu of all the normal things I don't get that would make my life easier but making my life easier is probably not Job One, or hasn't been. I'm told that is going to change soon but I have heard a lot of things in my tenure.
I wrote this song for Willie Nelson but I can see there is no way I am going to get it to him, anymore than I got the songs I wrote for Johnny Cash to him; way it goes. Truth is, I wrote everything for god and the goddess and they do hear and do read and what more do I need than that?
It just kills me that some of these offerings don't get heard. When you spill your heart from the deepest places you have ever reached and the only ones who hear it are the woodchucks and the wolves well, you feel unfinished because, if you really are about celebrating God and I definitely am... you just wish, you just wish more people knew but... they're not involved in that celebration, are they?
I figure once I'm gone it will find it's way into a greater number of hearts and since it was never about me profiting, I can live with that.
I take it you are talking about 120 Days of Sodom. I couldn't watch it past a certain point. The most shocking film I ever saw, that really, really shows the Satanists as they are is that French film "Martyr". It makes "Man bites Dog", also French, look like Sesame Street and for what it is it is very well done.
It kind of reminds me of the time I recommended "Meet the Feebles", one of the truly amusing movies ever done (Peter Jackson, I believe) to my friend Gerald Stewart in Hawaii. I told him what the film was about but he wasn't paying attention. So, he booted it up and watched it with his 12 and 13 year old daughters; too funny. Martyr is not funny.
dont often listen to your songs but i enjoyed that cant wait to buy your new books and i remember you saying i think england you were going to re record some of your music if you do i look forward to buying that too
Can only recommend Varanasi. By the time we got there, after visiting the Babaji Ashram in Haidakhan, we were in a state of culture shock. A bustling place. We were having nightmares of falling in the Ganges and injesting the water LOL. A good time to visit the river is at sunrise. From the water the city has an almost biblical appearance. Also try and visit the guy who built the Sitars for Ravi Shankar.
I'd love to be there now.
Enjoy it
Cheers

This post was an arsenal of information/inspiration/ elucidation/observation!
Yes, apparently, the show must go on. I avoided the center ring circus performance yesterday & only wish we could all avoid its repercussions. The clowns were all gathered. Clowns always seem to prefer it in a group; apparently, the show is better that way. Certainly some of these dc clowns must be working in the wings with some kind of oval envy.
Regarding those food profits… all those still participating in the investments charade might wish to check their “investments” as they may unknowingly be supporting GS's sick gains… many continue to do it knowingly for their own reasons – greed, cultural programming, ego & fear. This fact has “cost” me one of my longest running friendships recently; found it much too soul-challenging to associate closely with anyone happily & intentionally profiting from the various vehicles of the dark forces especially when it is clear that it is at the expense of our fellow brothers & sisters. Finding the courage to cut & run is a brave act here if one can bring oneself to do it. That said I am fully aware that many in the system contribute against their will due to employment obligations.
The Rasputin truth story is surely one of many.
I appreciate your invitation to make an offering regarding the truth behind some of the modern gurus. This should be a very interesting book that you propose.
And finally, thanks for the great track offering today. Catchy! That line “start all over, start all over again” has been repeatedly running though my head after only one listen. May we “start all over again” soon - beautiful new “patterns” have yet to be discovered (donchya think?)
With typically so very little to look forward to on the temporal plane these days, a radio show sounds really good to me right about now.
Be well, brother.
~~~from the deep~~~
Yes, 120 Days of Sodom in English. I watched it in Italian (couldn't find the English version), that I don't speak after reading about the plot. This Calipornian only speak enough very bad Spanish to get by if you dropped me off in Mexico, but thanks for the info. I don't really like watching movies very much these days since it conflicts with more important internet activity, like political research, and transferring the important links that catch my eye to my obnoxious blog, but hey. I'll look up the plot on the occasionally useful Wiki.
What gets me is stuff like what happened in 120 Days of Sodom happens, and the ending was really a mutha fucka. Disturbing is the understatement of eternity.
Maybe a guru,,a true true real one,is only a guru because he/she can lift that guru in each of us,,,can bring us to the place we are guided from,,,
With you mr visible,how can anyone charge money for that,,
Maybe mooji and other people have some knowledge,they love the thought of being in that world all of the time,,
They wonder how they will do this,so they ask for money and give teachings, but because the presence of the guru or the feeling in themselves is not at one with the guru/Christ the Goddess/God the teaching does not work,
The true guru the real one is at one with god at that moment of a teaching,it becomes obvious to anyone around them as they have a big feeling in the heart and everything feels very very different,,,then the real teaching takes place through the feeling of the person or persons,,,,,
The guru wants nothing other than to be with god at all times,,that is my small amount of knowledge of the subject....
Lovely song
Peace,respects,,,neil

Hey Vis,
I'm a frequent follower of your blog(s), getting some good amount of inspiration.I got somehow excited reading about you planning to go to Varanasi and the Kumbh Mela. In one of your earlier blogs you mentioned your Munich-Visa-adventure. I just got my Indian Visa issued and send back to me by mail today (from Munic..)! I'm planning to go to Varanasi and the Kumbh Mela myself. Will be arriving in Varanasi on the 14.th of Feb. Next day heading to the Kumbh Mela and back to Varanasi again at night. Crazy to book a room or stay in a tent there.. It would be a pleasure to meet you if possible. Either way, Spirit shall shine brightly through you anywhere you go.
Can
God/goddess in the form of guru,,does not perform for money,,,
Never has never will,,,
But the person who the guru appears from,does need food does need shelter,does need community,,,
That is why us little people should help as much as we can,,,
I want to help,it is natural for me to want to help somebody who can introduce me to my guidance,,the inherent truth in all things,,the pronouncement of highly energetic states that leave me gobsmacked and full of understanding,,,,
Sorry for going on again,,just thought I would say,,,neil

Potterville, U.S.A.
A few more months have passed, a few more missiles have found their innocent targets, a few more executive orders have been dealt from the bottom, a few more countries are about to be destroyed, a few more tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs and homes, a few more forests have died, a few more rivers have dried, and the beat goes on. Pounding that familiar rhythm to your brain, if you still have one. Yet, for the majority of 'Mericans who do believe in Gawd but can't seem to give a rat's ass about anything but their sports book bets, it really is a wonderful life.
Varanasi is truly incredible. We spent a couple of nights there about 18 years ago. Stayed in a hotel overlooking the Ganges. I woke up early the next morning and went to the roof of the hotel to look out over the Ganges. Saw some of the locals coming down near the river to meditate, so I took a walk down toward the river and lo and behold found myself navigating through many piles of human excrement. Now this was meditation!!!
I got bad dysentery in India four or five times, including at the Kumbha Mela at Allahabad and also at Varanasi; it was always in a city, and probably from the tap water. That was before bottled water became commonplace. Next time I think I might carry a liter bottle and pay tea wallahs to fill it with boiled water. At the Kumbha Mela there were flies crawling all over our food as soon as the rice hit the plate; while eating with one hand, it was nearly
impossible to shoo away the flies with the other hand. To keep the flies off your food, you needed to be inside a screened tent. Good luck finding one at the Mela.
Last week the Federal trial of the 'Christmas Tree Bomber', Somali immigrant Mohamed O. Mohamud, started here in Portland. Last night I attended a presentation by Trevor Aaronson of his new book "The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism." Aaronson's book is basically a "limited hangout" in which he shows that about 50% of the 500 'terror plots' that have been busted in the USA since 9/11 were FBI-provocateured patsies. Aaronson claims that the other 50% were real terrorists with connections to Al Qaeda, and Aaronson supports the official version of the 9/11 attacks and the hoax of Al Qaeda. Of course, we know that Al Qaeda is a CIA front and that those "Al Qaeda operatives" are actually working for the CIA. The post-9/11 terror attacks have been committed by provocateured patsies and CIA nasties. The successful bombings - Bali, Madrid, London 7/7, and the Mumbai attacks - were the work of US-allied intelligence agencies: CIA, MI6, Mossad, ISI, and RAW.
The audience of about 150 at Aaronson's presentation were warned to only ask questions, and not to "rant", but some of us did manage to state some challenging points. I said that the 1993 WTC bombing was FBI-provocateured, which lends credence to the 9/11 2001 attacks being an 'inside job' perpetrated by the US government and their allies.

Aghora is on a torrent for the demonically dismonetised but nonetheless studential.
trouble with a film like Salo is that they ruin a good exploitation opportunity (I'm gunning with the bad guys here) . it used to called seduction, maybe mere exploitation (Maid In England) , but they don't know where to stop.
no class and, in the end, no ass. no shit!
The ghats at Varanasi are magical; at night people attach paper bags to candles and send them floating out over the river. It's fun to explore the length of the city along the ghats, and wander the maze of paths through the heart of the city. Be careful when passing the cows; sometimes they try to hook you. I several times got stalked by some very hostile wild dogs in Varanasi; rabies is a risk in India. Get up on the rooftops when you can and watch people flying their kites. The grounds of the Sanskrit University and the Buddha's Deer Park at Sarnath provide some more tranquil, park-like space at the south and north ends of the city. There are some interesting bookstores in Varanasi.
GF
After reading a somewhat about the Kumbha Mela, I am struck by something. No judgement or disrespect, or intending to kick a sacred cow, but the walk into/bathing in the Ganga to absolve one of their sins, or remove oneself from the cycle of rebirth does not seem to align with the truth that one must do their personal work to move into other levels of evolution and consciousness. The responsibility of all one creates and the transmutation of that stands and remains for each of us.
It is an astounding gathering together nonetheless, with 110 million people expected over the 55 days. What a vast pool of energies and frequencies it must be.
Continued grace, dear Vis, as your unfolding progresses.
Love ~

"concerning all these Pop Tart gurus and is going to deal with their behavior juxtaposed with what they say."
Good for you, prabhu!
Srila Prabhupada describes the fate of disciples who follow false gurus..
Prabhupada: As for your next question, can only a few pure devotees deliver others, anyone, if he is a pure devotee he can deliver others, he can become spiritual master. But unless he is on that platform he should not attempt it. Then both of them will to go to hell, like blind men leading the blind.”
Further confirmation, as it is..
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 6.7.14
TRANSLATION
Leaders who have fallen into ignorance and who mislead people by directing them to the path of destruction [as described in the previous verse] are, in effect, boarding a stone boat, and so too are those who blindly follow them. A stone boat would be unable to float and would sink in the water with its passengers. Similarly, those who mislead people go to hell, and their followers go with them.
PURPORT
As stated in the Vedic literature (Bhāg. 11.20.17):
nṛ-deham ādyaḿ sulabhaḿ sudurlabhaḿ
plavaḿ sukalpaḿ guru-karṇa-dhāram
We, the conditioned souls, have fallen in the ocean of nescience, but the human body fortunately provides us a good opportunity to cross the ocean because the human body is like a very good boat. When directed by a spiritual master acting as the captain, the boat can very easily cross the ocean. Furthermore, the boat is helped across by favorable winds, which are the instructions of Vedic knowledge. If one does not take advantage of all these facilities to cross the ocean of nescience, he is certainly committing suicide.
Hi Vis...
happy new year to you and everyone. :)
It seems like someone was looking for you over at my site, hoping you would find them?
No idea... anyway, they left this comment which I am passing on:

speaking of movies here is a link to a great one from Iceland (with English subtitles )
" Stormland
The tragicomic story of lone rebel Boddi Steingrimsson who lives in a small town in Northern Iceland. Boddi hates materialistic modern society in its entirety and on his blog-page he comically criticizes everything and everyone. Before long he has become an outlaw in his own hometown, just like his viking hero, Grettir. After a series of dramatic mishaps, he snaps and goes riding down south to the big city on his sturdy steed Nietzsche. He's got a gun in his pocket. He's ready for the revolution."

Greetings All,
Years ago I read a book called "Catch 22" written by Joseph Heller and many of what we humans are going through today could have this applied logic.
A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation in which an individual cannot or is incapable of avoiding a problem because of contradictory constraints or rules.[1] Often these situations are such that solving one part of a problem only creates another problem, which ultimately leads back to the original problem. Catch-22s often result from rules, regulations, or procedures that an individual is subject to but has no control over.
The term catch-22 was coined by Joseph Heller in his novel Catch-22. Initially this is based on the explanation of the character Doc Daneeka as to why any pilot requesting a psych evaluation hoping to be found not sane enough to fly, and thereby escape dangerous missions, would thereby demonstrate his sanity:[2] Wikipedia
What this means to me is once you decide that current world situations are insane you are branded a conspiracy nut. But if you find that current actions by governments are totally fine you are considered sane. It is now okay to use vast amounts of monetary and natural resources chasing ghost terrorist, killing indiscriminately using drones, torturing humans without due process, and allowing banks Carte-Blanche in running nations into debt with a ponzi scheme using a fractional reserve system, derivatives, credit default swaps and then making the populace pay for all of this by taxing them to the point of poverty is ludicrous.
But if you agree to all of these actions you are sane and considered a good citizen.
Here are some examples:
If you are for the 2nd amendment as written, owning weapons is okay but owning a military style gun legally is now being challenged.
Why are these weapons even available in the first place? Because our military industrial complex allows it and so does our government. Profit above all is else is how our system works and instead of going after the manufactures or the military for making such weapons we are attacking the populace. How convenient. Folks we are in a no win situation with this type of logic. The government allows the industries to sell alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and light weapons then puts laws in place to curtail there use and can subjugate you to prison if you do not comply with these laws.
Wars create more damage than any of the things listed and is now used to obtain the resources of other countries on the whim of our current leaders. How come there are no actions taken against them?
We are in a Catch 22, either comply with the governments actions and be deemed sane or resist and be labeled a nut or subversive. Now go and teach your children all the things you think are right and then hand them over to the government and have them trained to adhere to this logic as they see fit. Those are your only options at this point.
Love the line: "you can't let crazy people decide if your crazy or not can you?"

Les thought about you and your adventure in India after watching this film for the 5th time. As a systems engineer I could relate to this movie very well. Enjoy

my favourite Catch22 line is
"What if everyone decided to do that?" (leave the war)
"Then I'd be a fool to do otherwise, sir!"
still, it's all good Jewish humour and fun from those in the know, methinks.
Alan Arkin as Yossarian in the movie, Jewish? gimme a break.(and don't he look and talk like Netanyahoo)
There are already restrictions on guns.
For instance: it is illegal for a private citizen to own a 50 cal machine gun or a 5 in field cannon. So, there already is gun control.
Guns and cleverness will not save the world. All war is pernicious even to the winners. IMHO all that is required for a better world is a calm spirit and a good heart. Guns and violence are the tools of evil; hurting people is what they do best.
As far as the human condition goes I would say that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is the #1 agency of misery. Booze is the scourge of man, war, crime, disease, treachery are all distant also rans.
I wrote recently to a friend that was disappointed in the non events of 122112. I reminded him that all energy works in the cycle of a sine wave, from the 25K year precession, down to the sun-up-sun-down day-to-day clockwork existence.
When the last age ended, its energy was nearly flatlined with the new age energies beginning. The bottom of the energy U only goes up from here. It never was a V, straight down and straight up (life is not linear, only fiction represents itself as linear), it was always energy, negative or positive or both. Negative has had the reigns for long enough now, it's time to put fear in its place.
The opposite of fear, is love. It is false to love material things, so what is man pining away about? If our lives are about a bunch of junk, then we really don't have a life to begin with. We have a corporate existence, under those terms.

hi les..more.
I'm the fellow you tacked on for target practice (Ellipser)
Seems the Hindu Mossad conection has taken over Ottawa Ontario (Canada) I knew they would.
Les, you little worm dung child of satan idol lifter. Burn in hell.
William H. Geier Canada.
I'm sorry , Les, for what I said. What kind of a person would I be to point the finge at my brother who may be in need. One who claims to be the better is only less better than satan to God. Stay out of hell.
Bill Geier.
Looks like they took down Snordelhans.
Perhaps what you are looking for is in your own backyard. Roots are in the ground, go to your ground to understand your source.
