Philosophy Student Suing University of Chicago and Vint Cerf

Computers Aren't Good For You Says PhD Student

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Mike Muzurski a first year PhD candidate in Western Philosophy at the University of Chicago has dropped out of school and is suing the university for what his attorney is calling "unauthorized technological brain function and memory alteration" which resulted from computer usage mandated by the University's PhD program.

"I used to enjoy reading long philosophical treatises. The Greek classics, Thomas Aquinas, Kant, Rousseau, Locke. That was before I took the University of Chicago's class on-line...and believe me, I feel bad about this for the University's sake. It could have happened anywhere, but it was there. With its long history of academic standards I entered the program feeling secure about U of C's endorsement of its technology, but I learned you cannot trust it."

We spoke with the University's attorney, Carlos Carladega, who said that it is not the university's responsibility to validate the safety of the internet. Muzurski said that after three months in the program he could no longer focus on Kant, Locke nor other philosopher's lengthy treatises. "I'm jumpy. I find myself jumping from page fifty seven of Aquinas' Summa Theological to page four hundred and I look to the book margins for a button to point and click and I've developed carpal tunnel syndrome while reading John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism.... in paperback. "

"We are looking into including in the suit the Federal Government's DARPA program and the "father of the internet", Vint Cerf," said Muzurski's attorney, Russell L Lord of Leuerdy, Leuerdy, Leuerdy and Leuerdy.

"Mr. Muzurski's roommate will testify that he found my client checking out six hundred and seventy two photographs of Jeremy Bentham's stuffed body on-line when he was supposed to be reading Bentham's The Influence of Natural Religion upon the Temporal Happiness of Mankind for an essential presentation. He never did that before the internet and this is just one of several examples of his brain function and memory alteration induced by his enrollment in this program," said Mr. Lord.

Young & Rubicam Advise Tea Party To Split

EARL GREY and SWEET TEA PARTIES LIKELY

10.28.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

With Timothy Profitt trying to make crumpet crumbs of Rand Paul's Tea Party appearance something had to be done.  Following an emergency meeting of Tea Party leaders including, Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch and Glenn Beck  with Young and Rubicam's Willie Horton Crisis Management Brigade, the Tea Party has decided that it will split into the EGTP or Earl Grey Tea Party and STP or the Sweet Tea Party.  "People look upon gray as a depressing color and our studies from the Rand Corporation and the Tavistock Group show that it's best feature is that the new name will not have any residual racist backlash as we had with the very successful Willie Horton ads.   It's a kinder, gentler manipulation that loses the long-term boomerang," said one unnamed Young and Rubicam executive.  "With Mr. Proffit going with Rand Paul and the Earl Grey Tea Party the new Sweet Tea Party will jettison their negative images and keep right on going.   But people will think of them as extra special.  Regular?  No.  Sweet Tea, please.  What could be simpler and more subliminally inviting and empowering.  Albert Lasker would be proud! And the big oil boys love the STP name.  Has a ringing sound to it," said Roger Riddleman of Riddleman and Rubixson Advertising Consultants who have followed the success of Young and Rubicam for almost three decades.  "If they can't keep the Tea Party perking with this strategy then they could create a third Tea Party called Twinings Tea Party or TTP which could  unite the other two parties in a new centrist-right coalition," said Riddleman.  "Like a big tea tasters party."

Tea Party Leaders Wear Freudian Slippers

10.28.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service
     According to Austrian psychotherapist, Dr. Boris Komski, the America Tea Party planners wear Freudian slippers.  He explains it this way..."Sigmund Freud's discoveries in psychology and psychotherapy were quickly put to work in the 1930's in the British Secret Service. Freud moved from Austria to London.  Given the House of Saxe-Gotha's connections to Germany, the Saxe-Gotha clan renamed itself as the 'House of Windsor' to soften the British distaste for imported German royals. George V whose son abdicated the English throne to marry American divorcee, Wallace Simpson, always had a problem with the British people. Winston Churchill. the great defender of Western Democracy with FDR, didn't trust the German royals and after Rudolf Hess attempted to forge a union with Hitler and the Duke of Hamilton and the Marquis of Tavistock, things got really dicey."
"Dicey?" I asked.  "In what way?"
 
     "Besides Churchill pressing FDR to remove Joseph P. Kennedy as Ambassador to Britain for being a German appeaser? Well, Freud's power to read, assess and control the human mind was astounding.  His work was cutting edge and everyone wanted to put his discoveries to work for their particular political and military agendas.  The Tavistock Group did the most to incorporate his mind control methods in their work, but for anyone who has read Ishiguro's Remains of the Day the tensions between the British democracy-embracers and monarchists was quite close and sometimes chilling.  The Tavistock Group was supported by the Saxe-Gothas, but also by the Rothschilds and, of course, we now know that the only Rothschild to die in a Nazi concentration camp was the estranged ex-wife of Baron Phillipe Rothschild of the Chateau' Mouton Rothschild.  There has been much speculation about that sad loss to a family that was able with its money to handle many liberating bribes.  After the war the American's, through their CIA,  imported Germany's leading scientist including their top psychiatrists and mind control experts whose work continued in the United States through the CIA's MK-Ultra program.  This was fully documented through the findings of the Church Commission."

    
"What does this have to do with Fox News, Glenn Beck and the Koch family?" I asked

     "Yes, well Glenn Beck works for Rupert Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers fund the Tea Party Movement in the U.S..  You must ask about the background of this powerful media mogul, Rupert and the Koch Brothers.  The Kochs worked with Hitler's American agent William Rhodes Davis, who repeatedly tauted his relationship to Cecil Rhodes, founder of the DeBeers Diamond mines and Jefferson Davis the President of the slave-holding Confederacy in America.  Now are you seeing the connection?  William Rhodes Davis is  the father of recalled California governor Gray Davis who was replaced by Austrian born, Arnold Schwartzenegger, a Republican and married to the granddaughter of recalled British Ambassador, Joseph P Kennedy.  Cecil Rhodes was a close associate of the Rothschilds in London.  But back to Rupert Murdoch.

     Keith Rupert Murdoch was born in Melbourne, Australia, the son of Elisabeth Joy Greene and Sir Arthur Keith Murdoch.  Rupert's father, Arthur Keith, was the son of Ann Brown and Patrick John Murdoch.  The Brown name will come up again and again in British and American relations for good reason, but too much to go into now.  Rupert's mother is Dame Elisabeth Joy Greene a member of the Order of the British Empire. Her granddaughter, Rupert's niece, is married to Matthew Freud, Sigmund's grandson.  It's is all quite inbred, but to understand how this bed of twisted vines supports the monarchist system of the royals which the Americans resisted in their first Tea Party you have to understand the work of the Tavistock Group's leading amalgamator, Elliott Jacques.  Jacques, who worked hand in hand with British monarchist-industrialist, Lord Wilfred Duncan Brown of Glacier Metals, incorporate Freud's powers of personality decomposition to make increasingly palatable the acceptance of the pyramidal order of the ruling class in Western Capitalism.  


Lord Wilfred Duncan Brown (L) and the
model used as Glacier Metals which Brown's
management insights promised to improve.


     The irony of all of this is that while Hitler's Reich was purely pyramidal like the British Saxe-Gotha-Windsors, the Reich was based on personal accomplishment and merit within an increasingly narrow and genetically similar gene pool....and merit was based on brutality," said Dr. Komski.

     "Tavistock's Elliot Jaques would argue that within the capitalist system there was stratification of workers based on their ability to conduct increasingly complex and longer and longer tasks.  At the bottom of the caste were those who could do simple assignments that required little ability.  Sweeping and mopping comes to mind.  Above them were those able to do more complex projects, like fit Henry Ford's bumpers onto metal bumper hangers.  Then there were those who were able to oversee a few dozen bumper hangers.  Then there were those able to see the bigger picture and order the new bumper for next years' production and run the whole automobile plant.  At the top of the heap were those able to see the very big picture...twenty years out into the future.  These were inevitably the same people who had a big bank account, usually inherited....well, like the Saxe-Gotha family or the Rothschilds or the Murdochs.  You see a pattern here?"



      "Most realistic capitalists will tell you that in their world nobody sees twenty years into the future.  The myth supports the desired conclusions so there you have the connections of Murdoch to the Kochs and to Freud and to the power elites using Freud's mind control methods.  That their group in the US carries the name 'Tea Party' is quite laughable," said Dr. Komski.  "Jaques assumed that the top of the pyramid had the corner on vision and he and Lord W. Duncan Brown called the pyramidal model the 'requisite organization'.  That is comforting to monarchists....that they are required above all else.  Of course Oliver Cromwell didn't think so and lopped off the king's head as did the French with their king.  That's what George Washington would have done, too, but unlike Cromwell, Washington was surrounded by guys like Jefferson, Franklin and others who didn't accept the British requisite model and did quite nicely in the New World that is quickly becoming the Old World.  Jacques was a dutiful Canadian, a British subject, who lacked the wit of the Canadian artist, Robert Bateman, who commissioned by the Canadian government to paint a picture as a wedding gift for Prince Charles and Princess Diana,  titled it 'Aquatic Birds'.   It was two  loons, but without the ears and jewelry " said Dr. Komski smiling.

     "You can't do today's job with yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow," said Dr. Komski.
     "You can't do today's job with yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow?" I asked.  "That's what Jacques said the mop-sweeping-non-visionaries do, they repeat yesterday's methods?"
     "Jacques didn't say that," said Dr. Komski.  "Those are Lee Iacocca's words as he turned around Chrysler which is now owned by the German company Daimler," said Dr. Komski.


     "And, of course, I haven't even mentioned the American Nazi Bund's attempt to get General Smedley Butler to overthrow FDR with a 500,000 man army led by Butler who testified that Henry Ford, Firestone, Burroughs, Lindbergh, Prescott Bush and others were behind the proposed coup' de tat.  John O Rogge's book would link this movement to William Rhodes Davis while the book Mystery Man: William Rhodes Davis: American Nazi Agent of Influence by Dale Harrington shows Davis' connection to the Kochs' through the Kansas engineering firm of Winkler-Koch which built Hitler's refineries."

     I explained that all that was a long time ago.  "Could you be wrong about all this?" I asked.

     "Could I be?  Yes.  But I am not.  And of course you have simply to look at President George Herbert Walker's daughter, Doto Bush Koch, to see the connection.  Her husband is head of the Wine Institute that lobbies for American wines like those produced by Baron Phillipe Rothschild and Robert Mondovi in Napa Valley called Opus One.  Could I be wrong?  Yes.  Am I wrong?  No.  Sadly I am not," said Dr. Komski.

Rand Paul Not Profitting From Profitt

Head Stompin' Not Music To Americans' Ears

10.27.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

One must ask after seeing the Timothy R Profitt video of his head stomping of a woman protester at the Rand Paul rally at which Profitt was working as a security guard, whether the Tea Party Movement, backed as it is by the Koch Brothers has losts it moorings.

Little has been made of the fact that the Tea Party's backers, the Koch's, are the same family that through the engineering firm of Winkler-Koch, aided Hitler's American agent, William Rhodes Davis, in building the Eurotank facility in Wilhelmshaven and Spandau for the Nazi's as Davis worked to supply Texas and Mexican crude to Hitler through the port of Brownsville, Texas.  Equally important is Ron Paul, Rand's father's enigmatic political background in a region of Texas that was the jumping off point for the mass exodus of Southerners who, following the Civil War, hoped they could work to create a slave Republic between the US and Mexico while also creating a "Golden Circle" of slavery in the Caribbean. 

No Texas county had more slaves than Brazoria County which Ron Paul calls home.  Do Liberterian values in this region mean deregulation of the laws passed since the Emancipation Proclamation?

The Petro-Chemical companies that line the bayous of the Brazoria region Southwest of Houston include Dow Chemical, DuPont, BASF,  Shell, and Freeport McMoran. Not far away is Koch's Invista plant on the Victoria barge canal.  Are these companies major contributors to Ron Paul, Rand's father?  If not, is their agenda advanced as much by a Liberterian platform as by a Tea Party candidate and is that the concordat that Ron Paul honors in order to appear independent and enigmatic?  Are Kock family investments as extensive in Ron Paul's part of Texas as they were with William Rhodes Davis in Germany?
Koch's Invista facility in Ron Paul's District

Following the Nuremberg Trials, Else Kohler Koch, the "Bitch of Buchenwald" was sentenced to life in prison. Her sentence was commuted to three years by General Lucius D. Clay, the Allied commander overseeing the Marshall Plan in Germany.  Following her release she was charged  by the German courts and sentenced to another life term.  Has anyone bothered to trace the connections of  Lucius D. Clay's decision to powerful members of the Koch families in Germany and America?

Following Mr. Profitt's kicking of a woman on the ground should we be looking for Brown Shirts worn by Rand Paul's Tea Party people who are beholding to the Kochs' for their financial support?

Rented Bones Make For Happier Halloween

LA Company Rents Real Bones

10.27.2010 By Winsip Custer CPW News Service

PT Barnum would be proud.  So would Ripley.  Believe it or not, the Los Angeles company WeBeBones Inc. has found a new niche in the bones-for-rent-market. "Eighty five percent of our profits come in October, said Webb Arachnoman who started the company after ten years in the mortuary business.  "I was tired of being around death and dying all the time," he said.  "This gives me a years' worth of income in one month and I get to be around kids and their families who really want to have an extra spooky month in the run up to Thanksgiving and Christmas."

I asked Mr. Arachnoman where he got the idea to rent bones.  "Well, I was embalming a dead movie star who had been in a number of horror movies and I thought that something better than burying this poor guy should be done with his remains.  So I talked to my lawyer and we drew up initial contracts for the families and we incorporated and the rest's history."

I didn't recognize any of the names on the bones in Arachnoman's stable of dead stars.  I asked him to explain.  "We were hoping to get the Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone or Bela Lagosi familes to join us but they've not agreed yet," he said.  "Some family members think that the idea of the exhumation and acid bath is a bit harsh."

"Who is Sunny Westerman, Virgil Franklin and Katrina Smithers?" I asked pointing to three skeletons hanging on what looked like a clothes rack with name tags around their necks.

"They were extras in the movie Night of the Living Dead," said Arachnoman. "Smithers was a stunt woman who was caught on fire when the leading character tried to get away in the truck.  You remember that scene?"

"So who pays for these bones to be in their home during Halloween?"  I asked.

"Anybody can, but it's mostly movie industry folks who like to add that little extra authentication to the Halloween experience," he said.

"What is that skeleton over there?" I asked.  "The one without a foot. Was he or she in a movie?"

"Yes," said Arachnoman, "that's Randall C Compton, but he was not in a horror movie.  He was the fellow who came out of the bilge of the slave ship in that scene in Ben Hur when Hur's ship got rammed.  You know the one without a foot.  Actually lost it in a motorcycle accident on the Santa Monica Freeway. Cool, huh?"

Arachnoman said that he is excited to announce that there is the strong possibility that next year the family of Ilse Kohler Koch, the "Bitch of Buchenwald" may be added to his skeleton crew and that the family of Joseph Mengele is also considering the financial implication of putting their relatives back to work, but there has been some resistance from the American Civil Liberties Union who believe that it is inhumane to make people work beyond their natural life-time.  My lawyer told them that it would be a good way for the dead to pay restitution," said Arachnoman.

"And of course I would love to get into my collection the artifacts that seemed to make Ilse Koch's life so meaningful, the tattoos and lampshades, but sadly they are not available," said Arachnoman.

CIA Misdeeds

Auschwitz Survivor Connects the Dots

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Dr. Boris Komski is ninety two years old now, but his mind is sharp and his eyes are bright.  He survived Auschwitz, returned to Vienna and became a physician at a time when Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler and Viktor Frankl left an indelible mark on the Austrian Capital.  "Freud and Adler had already developed their theories of pychology and psychotheraphy, but Frankl's were, of course, fashioned from his experience in Auschwitz," said Dr. Komski.  "Viktor's Institute in Vienna would be matched by one in San Francisco," said Komski.

I asked Dr. Komski to expound on his experiences in Germany and Austria.
"Freud, as you know, moved to London and lived in the Tavistock area where his theories were being incorporated into programs of the British secret service.  After the war his insights were put to work on those who had 'shell shock', what we now call 'post traumatic stress', but it didn't take long for those insights to be put to use in mind control in the Cold War era.   Even before Frankl was sent to Auschwitz the number three man in the Third Reich, Rudolf Hess, had flown his Messerschmidt to the home of the Duke of Hamilton  for what most believe was an attempt to bring a military union between Britain and Germany.  That was in May, 1941. The satanist, Alesister Crowley, was asked to interview Hess which was a strange connection in itself, but the Marquis of Tavistock was also part of same circle as the Duke of Hamilton to whom Hess had reached out in his night time solo flight to England.  Churchill would downplay the flight since parts on Hess' Messerschmit were made in the United States and he could not afford to offend the supporters of Lend Lease," said Dr. Komski.'
"Frankl had been a doctor in Austria's capital.  Do you suppose that the Nazi's with their fettish for meticulous record keeping would have overlooked the fact that Viktor Frankl was a doctor?  And being a doctor do you think that this information would have escaped the pervue of Joseph Mengele, the Auschwitz physician who was conducting among his many heinous experiments those dealing with mind control?  There may never be a full telling of Viktor's duties at Auschwitz, but I can tell you this.  If my family was taken forceably from their home, herded into cattle cars and put to slave labor in a place where people died daily and the stinch of death was everywhere I would have one thought.  Not of Freud's theory of pleasure as man's highest concern. Nor for Frankl's finding meaning. That would be like an opiate in the midst of some radical surgery.  The only meaning I could find in that hell would be to get out and to take some others with me trying.  No.  It was Adler's position that power had to be met with power.  Love with love.  What we create begets a peculiar and particular corresponding response.  I found it strange that Victor Frankl's work would be called Logotherapy from the Greek word for 'word'....not 'meaning', but 'word' and that Greek word 'word' was nowhere given more meaning than in its application to the Christian God-Man, Jesus.  Viktor commandeered in his use of the Christian/Greek 'Logos' a term that would pull from the Christian lexicon and the Christian world's deep interest in his work, and give broad interest to his theories, but there were Christians like Bonhoeffer and Niemoeller whose lives were cut short or radically altered precisely because they were not willing to accept survival as humankind's highest calling.  If you told them that their highest calling was to survive and that to survive they would need to find meaning in whatever hell they were enduring, they would have repulsed.  Bonhoeffer had found meaning in opposing evil and was willing to give his life to that calling.  I don't think that he was living with the illusion that he was on some kind of self-help program to make the world better, he just wanted to keep it from getting any worse.  Today I hear therapists telling their clients to 'love what is'.  Well, that's fine when loving what is means embracing sanity and love, justice and equity and peace."
I discussed for a time Dr. Komski's understanding of Bonhoeffer's sacrifice and he soon returned to Frankl's work.

 "When I had heard that Viktor Frankl's institute had been opened in San Francisco, the home of the Presidio where many of the Nazi scientists were employed after the war  by the CIA  in the mind control progrom titled MK-Ultra I began to wonder.  This hideous chapter in American history that began with men like the son of a Presbyterian Minister and CIA Director, Allen Dulles, William Corcoran and others who pulled Nazi criminals into the US in a CIA program called 'Operation Paperclip'  first deposited these mad scientists at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Then they gave ligitimacy to lunacy which ended with great brutality against unwitting American's through MK-Ultra.   MK-Ultra was swept under the rug until the CIA crimes were exposed by the work of the Church Commission. Named for Senator Frank Church, this commission exposed this evil chapter in American life...a chapter that received apology from President William Jefferson Clinton."

Project "Paperclip" Nazi scientists who worked on U.S.
rocketry as well as MK-Ultra
"Today," said Dr. Komski,  "the CIA is discredited, while the Tavistock Group, a multi-billion dollar private investment group, has built awe inspiring golf courses, hotels and resorts worldwide which appeal to the wealthiest of the wealthy including one on the very estate where Rudolf Hess landed his Messerschmit in hopes of cutting a deal with the Duke of Hamilton and Marquis of Tavistock.  The money to build this fine golf club came from the consolidation of employee benefits of American healthcare workers whose companies have placed them in shell corporations in order to limit their own liabilities and responsibilities to their employees, most of whom could never afford to visit the club much less stay there."

Bananna Man Sheds Skin of American Dream

Out of Work Man Gives Up
On American Mirage

10. 23.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

I will call him Banana Man.  He swings in a hammock between two coconut palms on a beach south of Veracruz, Mexico near a little village that is well off the drug smuggling routes to the North. He plays the song "Banana Man" on a silver coronet. He is an American who has given up on the American dream and is tired of America's political scene.  He smiles when I ask him about it and changes the tune to "What's it all about...ALFIE?".  He came here a year ago from New Orleans, Louisiana where he was let go from an oil refinery job when a series of cutbacks caught him and several of his friends up short, two of whom are hanging in hammocks just down the beach.  "That was just before the BP spill.  If I stayed I'd be working for BP," he said.

"A buddy of mine had a 36' Westerly ketch for sail and we chipped in and bought it for $3500 each.   It had been a little battered by Katrina, but was still seaworthy."  The boat sits at anchor in the small cove nearby.  Beyond the sea grass covered sand dunes is a row of small huts.  Blue, turquoise, pink, a brilliant orange and yellow.  The three men share a hut for a very reasonable $300 per month and shower with rain water, use a latrine just over the nearby dunes and buy fresh fruit and fish from a village boy who travels the beach with his donkey every morning.  They get beer and canned water and drinks in the nearby village and pay the boy extra to bring this and other necessities. "This hammock hangs from hooks in the corner of our hut at night.  Four corners.  Three hammocks.  We've got room to spare.  Room for one more hammock if you wanna' stay."

"You're obviously not married," I said.  "Was," he responded.  "It all came apart after I lost my job.  I was put to work every day minding the house.  I had my routine.  Dusting.  Vacuuming. Cooking and so on.  My wife was the daughter of a Marine drill instructor and she had to have things done a certain way. Spotlessly.  There was only one color she knew.  Shinny.   Floors.  Counter tops.  You name it.  Had to be spotless.  Ran her hand across the door mantels every night when she came home.  Then she came home one day to discover that I wasn't using the Electrolux to vacuum  the floors nor her mop."

I asked him what he was using and why this seemed to be such a turning point.

"Well I had this marvelous Toro yard vac in the garage and it could such a basketball through a straw.  I swear it would pull the pictures off the wall and bricks out of the fireplace.  I could vacuum a bedroom by standing in the corner.   I put her panty hose over the end of the thing and inside of its big leaf bag to keep the dog hair and dust in better.  I could do the whole 3000' house in about twenty minutes when before it took me an hour.  Then I put a steel rod on the end of my electric cordless drill and fixed a mop head to it.  Used a clean bucket of water with Pine Sol for the fresh water, another for the rinse water and a third bucket to spin the mop dry so I wouldn't have to wring the damn thing out each time nor use dirty water on the floors, but do you think that was a better idea?  Not to her. Zeeeeeeeeeezeeee....that thing would throw the floor grunge right up-side the bucket.   I'd rinse it and zzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeee. Spic'n span.   Worked great.  If I'd stayed in the States I'd have patented the design and retired rich, but what the hell for? So I could live with Sarge?  I don't worry about such things here.  A little dust never hurt anyone."

Banana Man returned to the states last summer for his daughter's wedding.  I asked him about his experience. He explained that he spoke at the rehearsal dinner. He gave me his notes which he kept in a small leather Bible in a duffle bag in his corner of the hut.

"I have the highest regard for marriage ever since Tammy Faye remarried after leaving Jim Baker.  William Sloan Coffin said that 'Faith is not belief without proof.  It is trust without reservation.'  Well, marriage is not slavery with iron shackles, but chains with invisible bonds. You are chained to each other for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health...chained by love and commitment to each other.  And while you need money, you should resist the urge to charge each other for your affections, especially if it's in order to get the grocery money, a haircut or a pedicure.  Now I know that we enter the marriage union with the highest ideals of unconditional love and commitment, but to overlook the tangible rewards of marriage is to miss it's lasting legacy.  Marriage is not sacrifice without thought of reward, but trust of receiving a reward with hope of minimal sacrifice, especially on Friday or Saturday night and sometimes on Sunday afternoons when the kids are napping. Marriage's greatest contribution is to give the beloved another person, a partner, upon whom to project an endless stream of reasons for your own shortcomings....that's on your bad days.  And on the good days, it gives you someone to thank for your successes, but not too much because you don't want to be ego deficient nor give your spouse a superiority complex.  Marriage is complex enough.  When your mother is ninety and needs to live with you because she doesn't want to live in a nursing home, it gives you a reason for staying together through thick and thin by living in separate cities.  I think that everyone should be institutionalized in the the blessed state of matrimony.  And why should it be limited to only straight people?  Crooked people might enjoy its ability to make the rough places plain and the crooked placed straight.  There's enough crooked places along life's long and winding road already.  And matriculation into marriage should not cost you any more than what you think the bride is worth.  Wedding rings are nowhere mentioned in the Bible as a symbol of marriage so I believe that we should do away with the wedding ring and instead give the wedding ear clips, like this one which I've patented and make available on my website www.earyweddingclips.com for only $349.99.   Isn't she worth at least that much?  I end with the words of Mark Twain who said of the music of Wagner, "it's better than it sounds."  Well marriage is better than it looks.  I wouldn't say it's 100% better, but somewhere around 50/50.  Which if I could get 50/50 as a batter in baseball I'm batting 500.  God bless you and thank you."

I asked if that was all that he said.  He said, "No,  I sang my ex-wife a song I wrote right here on this hammock."  He picked up a guitar leaning against the coconut tree by his coronet.  The refrain was rather haunting....

I'm heading to the islands where I'll fish and fish all day.
And if I don't catch nothin' I'll just drink my nights away.
I've had enough of your sweet love to last me 'til I die.
I'm headin' to the islands where I soak up sun and fly....like a bird!
Then he put down the guitar and started playing "Bananna Man" on his coronet as he laid back in his hammock.

Bill O'Reilly Set Up Juan Williams For The Fall

Juan Williams Victim
of Fight Promoter
Bill O'Reilly and Fox News


by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

According to Willimena Cullen Davis of the non-profit End Fight Promotion Now Coalition of Newark, New Jersey, Juan Williams has fallen prey to the tactics of America's media fight promoters.
Senator McCain with America's leading "Hate Radio"
personality and fight promoter
Michael Alan Weiner, AKA Michael Savage,
of The Savage Nation radio show who escapes the fight world
he promotes by yachting on his 40 ton Grand Banks
in San Francisco Bay

"Fight promotion is the ploy of those wishing to pocket money and political capital from fights they promote. We have seen a dramatic increase in fight promoting as a means of making money and the poor slobs who fight are pawns with the managers of the two corners making the bucks. Whenever there is an economic downturn, the fight promoters spawn like Piranha. You see it in the capitulation of the critics like Senator John McCain who initially took on the free-for-all warfare of the Fertitta's whose Ultimating Fighting Championships have brought a steady stream of blood letting to home television, especially on Sunday nights...which in the early years was reserved for Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. You see the decline of American culture in the entrance of the wife of World Wrestling Federation's Vince McMahon in the NY Senate race. Vince McMahon's father was himself a fight promoter handing the African American fighter Jack Johnson.  Under Vince McMahon and the Fertitta's fight promoting is on hyper-steroids.

"Juan Williams was set up for this," said Mrs. Davis. "It was a long time coming and now he is the lightening rod for those who would pit American Blacks against all Muslims. The Jews will support him, but they didn't ask him if he got nervous when seeing a Sephardic Jew wearing phylactaries getting onto an airplane, do they? How about if you have to sit next to a Hari Krishna? Does that make you nervous? How about next to a four hundred pound Anglo woman with three overweight kids? You see, anyone can be a fight promoter just by the images we put out there.  You start the fight, but just make sure you own the popcorn concession or in O'Reilly's case, the media's advertising revenues.  In the years leading up the the Civil War, George Luther Stearns, one of the backers of John Brown who proposed raising an army of liberated Southern Blacks, also controled lead mining...as in bullet production, but James Hamlet, the Baltimore Black who was working at the Brown family's Merchant Shot Tower where they made bullets from lead was the test case for the Fugitive Slave law and Mr. Tallmadge, the soldier who handled James Hamlet's return to Baltimore, also carried the printing press from New York to John Brown in Kansas for Brown's propaganda.  You see how it works?  When on a trip to  New York George Luther Stearns was asked by some colleagues if the coming Civil War was inevitable,  Stearns said 'If there are two men on the street facing off and four watching them,  three of the four will egg them on and one will try to promote peace.  I'm betting on war, boys.'  That's why statesmanship is in short supply and lunacy is everywhere," said Davis.

okay on plane flights?
I asked Ms. Davis what she thought would happen to Juan Williams. She said that she thought the money would be there for him from other networks like "from the fight promoting Fox News popcorn salesmen", she said. "But I think that NPR would be wise to ask him to come back and that they give him a position not as a contract employee, but as a top executive who knows just how important it is to have legitimate and unbiased reporting today," she said.  "If he goes for the money, his wonderful career will be significantly redirected and indelibly tarnished."

"What is your advice to Mr. Williams?" I asked Ms. Davis.

"Stay focused.  But he will probably be one of the three fourths who hire a good lawyer buy a big bag of popcorn and sit back and watch the show," she said

Animal Shippers Fear Backlash From Williams' Remarks

Snakes Next To Be Attacked say Air Freight Shippers


10.20.2010 By Winsip Custer CPW News Service

John Packard, head of the San Diego, California reptile shipping company, Snakes On A Plane, Inc., fears that Juan William's remarks about fearing Muslims on airplanes will have a backlash for his company.

"Old Willard" the Cottonmouth shipped
to Omaha by Snakes On a Plane, Inc.

While Packard admits that a very small number of commercial flights carry snakes and that the snakes are generally very securely packaged before shipping, "accidents can happen," said Packard. "And when they do, there's nothing my poor snakes can do to shed their shapes, skins, rattles, tongue slits and eye pupils. It's not fair that Mr. Williams was fired, but he needs to think more about the potential spin off of such remarks. I'm planning to watch my shipping patterns very closely to see if we lose any business and if we do you can be sure that we're going to come after someone. Kind of like that old, beligerent Cottonmouth, Willard, that I shipped to Omaha last year," said Packard

Juan Williams Not Free To Express Muslim Views

NPR says Juan Williams Too Public With the Truth



NPR Newsman Juan William canned
expressing his concerns

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Following his remarks on the Bill O'Reilley show on  Monday evening, Oct. 18, NPR fired the seasoned newsman, Juan Williams, on Wednesday by telephone for being too seasoned in his remarks about his nervousness at seeing Muslim garb on airplanes.

I called George Williams, no relations to Juan. "I'm a 'whitey' from Philly," said George. Williams (George) is President of Americans for Burka-less Flights a Philadelphia non-profit organization which lobbies for the restriction of Burkas on commercial flights. "They're a safety hazard," said Mr. Williams. "You have a Burka sitting next to a exit window and you don't know if you'll be able to get out. She might be all tied up in the Burka when she tries to exit the plane and then where'd you be? For this reason some Muslims make me somewhat nervous on planes, but not if they're wearing flip flops, Burmuda shorts and a t-shirt or tank top.  Especially a tank-top. I don't blame Mr. Williams for stating the obvious and I think that NPR is ....well, I don't know what NPR is? What the hell is NPR? Are they sick or something? Juan Williams is one of the best things they have going for themselves and I think NPR doesn't understand how the real world works. Good grief," said Mr. Williams (George).  Who continued... "Dang I missed!"  "Missed what?" I asked.  "I missed the Burka on the dart board over there on the wall."

Angus McFierson McDonald of the Order of Templar Knights in New York City, Antonio Bandina Medicino of Florence, Italy president of the Order of the Sacred Knights of the Maltese Cross and Martin Luther Hess of the Sacred Knights of the Tuetonic Realm from Stuttgart, Germany all phoned in with their support of Mr. Williams (Juan) saying that they would begin to wear their floor length white and red tunics on all foreign and domestic flights to see if they make passengers nervous.  "We haven't worn them for a long time on flights ever since the Oakland, California convention back in 1954 when too much beer and the long tunics played havock with the potty schedule," said McDonald.

NEW WORLD ORDER OF CHAVEZ AND AHMADINEJAD TO LIMIT STONINGS

Venezuelan and Iranian Dictators Envision Kinder Gentler 
New World Order with 10,000 points of Light

New Nation of Venezuliran To Allow Stoning of Adulterous Women Only On Thursdays

10.20.2010 by Winsip Custer CWP News Service

Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a secret meeting with Sean Penn and Oliver Stone have worked out details of their New World Order that will seek to bring a kinder, gentler existence to the citizens of the new co-dictated dictatorship of the new nation of Venezuliran.  Venezuliran will purge the world of all vestages of the Western World's evil institutions, according to initial reports from the meeting.

When Oliver Stone was asked if the failure of his summer Lego-buster, South of the Border, had anything to do with his acceptance of the invitation to sit in on the meeting with Penn, Chavez and Ahmadinejad, he said "No. Not at all.  I just have a hard time in understanding how the Magna Carta and US Constitution have any validity after the way that we have disregarded and descecrated them over the years.  I want to see just how these two fine men will bring sanity back to the forefront.   And in my opinion they are off to a good start. They have already agreed that to accomodate the fears of Venezueliran women they will only allow stonings of adulterous females on Thursdays."

French Riot Over Retirement Age

"Bring Back Bastille Day!" say French
Bedebedoe Drops Retirement Age from
40 to 37

10.20.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

The Germans have accommodated to their multi-cultural society and increasing demands on their monetary system by changing the retirement to age 70.  That influenced German Chancellor Angela Merkel to decry the failed multi-cultural system of Germany.  The French will have no part of it with the sweeping changes of a two year extension from 60 to 62 years.

Meanwhile, the small island nation between Pago Pago and Bikini, Bedebedoe, has reduced its retirement age from 40 to 37.

"We have more important things to do than to waste our days on things that are unimportant," said Bedebedoean, Roxwell Zeletian.  

I asked Mr. Zeletian how his small island nation was able to do this.  "Well, Alvin Toffler could answer that question for you.  We invited him here and that was just before he was to publish his book The Third Wave.  We told him that we had already gone through the Third Wave and were now on the Fourth Wave."

"The Fourth Wave?" I asked. 

"Yes, the first was from hunter-gathers to agrarian society.  The second was from agrarian to industrial society.  The third was from industrial society to information-based and knowledge-based society and the fourth is from info-knowledge to sustainability.  Sustainability is the apex of the wave system.  It is so simple that any ten year old surfer can tell you the essentials of it," said Zeletian.

"And what are the essentials?" I asked.

"To catch an endless wave.  That is sustainability.  It really doesn't matter much what the specifics look like so long as the long ride is sustainable and any surfer will tell you that riding the wave requires a set of skill and balance that can be directly applied to all aspects of life.  Industry, farming, medicine, you name it."

I ended my visit to Bedebedo with Mr. Zeletian and about thirty of his friends singing the Bedebedoean National Anthem while we drank their favorite beer...Klaatu Barata Beer which Mr. Zeletian began brewing just after the Bikini atomic bomb experiments of the 1940's from Coconut juice and a small island hops that I have never seen.  I print here the words to their beloved Bedebedoean National Anthem.   "Did you write the anthem?" I asked Mr. Zeletian.   Yes, but I owe the inspiration to Kurt Vonegut who said 'Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.'  With those words in mind I think I created a very fine beer drinking national anthem that brings tears to our Bedebedoean eyes," said Zeletian.

Angespannt German Chancellor Angela Merkel Uptight Over Much

Chancelor of Germany Gives Up on Multi-Culturalism
German Chancellor Angel

during happier days

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Germans were taken by surprise when their Chancellor Angela Merkel went public with her assessment of Germany's post World War II experiment in multi-culturalism before a meeting of the Christian Democratic Union.  In her opinion it has been a dismal failure and an unworkable model for the German nation. "We said, 'They won't stay. They will be gone,'" referring to foreign immigrants.  "But this isn't reality. And of course, the multicultural (society) has utterly failed," said Merkel.

I contacted Dr. Wilhelm Haus Von Hessian  of the Heidelberg Institute for Cultural Diversity.  He was deeply concerned that the German Chancellor has seemingly forgotten the lessons of history.  "You see, Hitler's 'Night of the Long Knives' was not merely the beginning of a purge of German's smaller ethnic groups, Gypsies, Jews, the mentally retarded and physically handicapped.  It was also the purge of Hitler's Brown Shirts who were not ethnically dissimilar, but politically dissimilar only.  When you see a call for abandoning ethnic diversity, the next wave of intolerance will be even more oppressive."

I asked Dr. Von Hessian if there was any way to see the Chancelor's remarks coming.  "Why yes," he said.  "When your President George W Bush's kind attempt at a simple back massage to get Angela to ease up and his simple gesture was rejected there was some indication that our Chancellor took herself way too seriously."

In following, I asked what Dr. Von Hessian might recommended in order to counter the Chancellors' attitude.  He said....."There is alway in the back of our minds this narrow attitude of anti-inclusion.  I feel it every time my wife hogs the covers on a cold night.  First comes the flash of anger.  Then comes twin beds.  Then separate rooms.  Then the garage.  Then you're thinking about burning the house down.  It's a depressing downward spiral that must be countered with something stronger than the hate that informs it."

"So you are saying that love is stronger than hate?" I asked him.

"Yes, but love needs help.  This is why I am so concerned about the cutting off of music and art in our modern schools.  We need music like they had in the immediate post World War II era and music that's like that picked up by bands like Hootie and the Blow Fish.  My personal preference is for the Ukranian Jew, saxaphonist Stan Getz and his early gigs with jazz legends Charlie Parker or John Coltrane.  I think we should bring back Jazz like when Getz's group played the wonderful music of Brazilian songwriter Tom Jobim. That's multiculturalism at its best and when we remove the cultural diversity in music and art we are back on the road to rigid goose-stepping and Wagner's stuffy militant music and finally to Auschwitz and Dacau."

Oliver Stone, Taft-Hartley, Koch and Jackasses At the Border

Oliver Stone Documental en Venezuela

10.18.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Golpeó las pantallas grandes en Venezuela con un ruido sordo resonante. El verano de Oliver Piedra 2010 documental al sur de la Frontera enseñó al director célebre una lección importante en la cinematografía. El teatro de la realidad, a menos que sea Asno yo o II o un documental que utiliza la fórmula de documentales populares de Moore de Michael, es una calamidad.


¿Entonces qué fueron aprendidas las lecciones por Sr. Piedra? Pregunté a John H. Corman el viejo productor, el director y director general de Monumental Docu-Mental S.a. y Películas de DocuBright para darnos sus penetraciones en el poco rendimiento del documental de Oliver Piedra que hizo apenas más de $18.000 en la primera quincena que juega en veinte pantallas en Venezuela. Aquí está lo que Corman dijo:

  • Las personas, izquierda, el derecho y central políticamente, no quiere que sus líderes lleven a ejército uniformes monótonos color aceituna. Esto debe haber sido aparente del Ascensor del Barco de Muriel, la respuesta pública horrible al vuelo de George W Bush en la plataforma de portaaviones de EEUU o vestimenta deprimente de Hugo Chavez. Las personas no quieren ver una película que representa a un líder que siempre se parece a acaba de venir en de una caza de paloma. Las personas quieren ser tan apacible como palomas, pero pueden ser tan sabios como serpientes cuando sus líderes son arreglados perseguirlos hacia abajo el cerco rema. Los pardos sacan a la luz imágenes de Dick Cheney que caza codorniz con Harry Whittington en Tejas. Las personas son nerviosamente graciosas así. Los pardos del ejército que tienen usted pensando "los fusiles tienen que estar cerca en algún lugar".
  • Los documentales de Michael Moore siempre juegan antes que nada al que auto aborrecendo de la audiencia norteamericana. Esto es una estrategia brillante. Adoramos odiarnos y pagar machos cabríos grandes por celebrar la libertad de hacer así. Es es una idea desatinada de tratar de ir al sur de la Frontera y el juego a la audiencia allí con imágenes de los norteamericanos feos cuando tanto de esos Sur de la Frontera son dirigidos al norte de la frontera.
  • Haciendo un documental antes que una película de característica, el Sr. Piedra rodeó muchos de los requisitos para emplear la unión actores. Esto vende más barato directamente los ingresos de las muy personas que el Sr. Piedra reclama se preocupa por en primer lugar. Trabajadores. La cuenta del trabajo de esclavos, mejor conocido como el Acto de Taft-Hartley denominó para Robert Alphonzo Taft, el descendiente de Cráneo de Yale and Bones; fundador de Huesos Alphonzo Taft y Fred C. Hartley, un amigo íntimo de la familia de Koch que ha sido los partidarios financieros más grandes del Movimiento de merienda y el anti de calentamiento de partidarios global, protegió específicamente documentales de muchos requisitos de la unión. Esto significa que a escoger el formato documental, ambos Sr. Piedra y Sr. Moore habían escogido un género cinematográfico' que es potencialmente muy, muy lucrativo a costa de los actores, las uniones e investiga gremios. Los documentales son el presupuesto generalmente más bajo, no requieren a actores de unión y pueden tener un rendimiento impresionante de la inversiones que tiene el calentamiento más despiadado de capitalista a los números.
El Sr. Corman pasó a decir que adoraría la oportunidad de trabajar con Oliver Piedra en su próxima película. "Sugiero otro documental con título 'Sólo Lejos del Tiro de UNA Piedra: Cómo llegar a América para Cuarenta Dólares Sin Emplear un Mulo Peligroso'. Juega en las esperanzas de personas y sueños y construye en el éxito de Asno de títulos yo e II," dijo Corman.

Oliver Stone, Koch, Taft-Hartley and Jackasses at the Border

Oliver Stone's Jackass Documentary

10.18.2010 Winsip Custer CPW News Service

It hit the big screens in Venezuela with a resounding thud.  Oliver Stone's summer 2010 documentary South of the Border taught the famed director an important lesson in film-making.  Reality theater, unless it's Jackass I or II or a documentary that uses the formula of Michael Moore's popular documentaries, is a dud.

So what were the lessons learned by Mr. Stone?  I asked John H. Corman the long-time producer, director and CEO of Monumental Docu-Mental Inc and DocuBright Films to give us his insights on the poor performance of Oliver Stone's documentary which made barely over $18,000 in the first two weeks playing on twenty screens in Venezuela. Here's what Corman said:

  • People, left, right and center politically, do not like their leaders to wear army olive drab uniforms.  This should have been apparent from the Muriel Boat Lift, the horrible public response to George W Bush's landing on the deck of US aircraft carrier or Hugo Chavez's depressing get-up.  People don't want to see a film featuring a leader that always looks like he just came in from a dove hunt.  People want to be as gentle as doves, but they can be as wise as serpents when their leaders are dressed up to chase them down the fence rows.  The drabs dredge up images of Dick Cheney hunting quail with Harry Whittington in Texas.  People are nervously funny that way.  Army drabs have you thinking... "the guns have got to be nearby somewhere."
  • Michael Moore's documentaries always play first and foremost to the self-loathing of the American audience. This is a brilliant strategy.  We love to hate ourselves and will pay big bucks to celebrate the freedom to do so.  It's is a wrong-headed idea to try to go South of the Border and play to the audience there with images of the ugly Americans when so many of those South of the Border are headed North of the border.
  • By making a documentary rather than a feature film, Mr. Stone circumvented many of the requirements for hiring union actors.  This directly undercuts the incomes of the very people that Mr. Stone claims he is concerned about in the first place.  Workers.  The "slave-labor bill", better known as the Taft-Hartley Act named for Robert Alphonzo Taft, the descendant of Yale Skull & Bones founder Alphonzo Taft and Fred C. Hartley, a close friend of the Koch family that has been the biggest financial supporters of the Tea Party Movement and the anti-global-warming-advocates, specifically protected documentaries from many union requirements. This means that in choosing the documentary format, both Mr. Stone and Mr. Moore had chosen a film genre' that's potentially very, very lucrative at the expense of the actors, unions and screen guilds.  Documentaries are generally lower budget, do not require union actors and can have an impressive return on investments that has the hardest-hearted capitalist warming to the numbers.
Mr. Corman went on to say that he would love the opportunity to work with Oliver Stone on his next film.  "I suggest another documentary titled 'Just A Stone's Throw Away:  How to get to America for Forty Dollars Without Hiring a Dangerous Mule.'  It plays on people's hopes and dreams and builds on the success of titles  Jackass I and II," said Corman.

SPACE MONEY & GORDON COOPER

Astronaut Speculated on Interstellar Capital Markets and Monetary Policy

10.17.2010 by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Gordon "Gordo" Cooper
NASA Astronaut was played by actor
Dennis Quaid in movie based on Tom
Wolf's best selling book
The Right Stuff


Following his report of the sighting of an alien craft while flying with other USAF officers on training missions over Germany, NASA astronaut Colonel Gordon Cooper had another UFO experience.  The first sighting was followed by another at Edwards Air Force Base in California when an alien saucer with tripod landing gear was photographed by a USAF camera crew. Cooper forwarded the film to his Washington D.C. supervisors and he had not seen the film again after its delivery.  Before his death in 2004,  during a conversation with a Ventura, California waiter at the small cafe he frequented, Gordon "Gordo" Cooper speculated on a inter-galaxy monetary systems.

"I asked Col. Cooper to speculate on whether or not the civilization of the space travelers capable of making interstellar flight would be expected to have a monetary system similar to the ones here on earth," said waiter Robert J. Reed.  "Would they use charge cards as we do here on earth?  What about interest rates?  Are credit scores important to them?  Is there the equivalent of a FED-EX or will FED-EX and UPS along with the U.S. and other postal services become quickly obsolete?  Do they have cashier checks?  What about late charges? Do they tip waiters better than here or is it about 15 per cent on average?"

Mr. Cooper responded..."You've asked a whole bunch of question there, fella.  I'd say that they are way beyond worrying about interest on their investments and that they find the whole idea of banking quite primitive."

"Then does that mean that they don't have to balance their checkbooks each month as we do here on earth?"

"Well, remember that we would be seeing the equivalent of their Columbus or Sir Francis Drake or Erik the Red and not their hometown boys, so to speak....the couch potato types that sit and dream up schemes for making people's lives hellish.  Unless, that is, they've been visiting here for a few million years.  In that case we may be seeing their retired presidents out on a Sunday afternoon drive. Or if they are really advanced it may be some teenagers who took a wrong turn on their way to school. They might have the equivalent of Quicken or Quickbooks, but I kind of doubt it, but hey,  until they tell us we can't know for certain.  Their internet is obviously a lot bigger than ours and it's totally wireless.  They probably use fiber-optics technology in antique lamps.  For all we know they eat and refuel their bodies by mental telepathy. But one thing is sure.  If they don't have any need for the bankers and money managers and changers and all that stuff and we learn from them, then Alan Greenspan and Wall Street boys are going to be out of work."
