WEEKLY REVIEW
The United States marked the fortieth anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. “He was normal as a person could be,” said his sister Christine King Farris. “I want people not to think of him as some mythic character from out of space.” Speaking from the Memphis hotel, now a museum, where King was shot, John McCain was booed after describing how he had voted against creating a federal holiday in King’s honor, and Hillary Clinton, speaking from the church where King delivered his last sermon, called for the creation of a poverty czar. The Clintons released thirty years of tax returns, showing they had earned more than $109 million since the year 2000; Bill Clinton said that Hillary was “in tears” when he called to say that $250,000 had been raised for her at a Pennsylvania event. The United Nations found that women make up 70 percent of the world’s poor, own only 1 percent of the world’s titled land, and are discriminated against in almost every country. Oregon was holding a health insurance lottery for the state’s 600,000 uninsured citizens, angry Americans boycotted Absolut vodka after the company ran an ad showing much of the western United States as part of Mexico, and DNA found in ancient feces indicated that people lived in the United States much earlier than previously thought. Utah-based Internet provider OnSat Network Communications was preparing to shut off service for the entire Navajo Nation, and foreclosures were forcing Americans out of their mansions. “eople had in their head, ‘I need a mud room, I need giant columns, I need a media room,’” said a Virginia real estate researcher, “’and I’m going to do anything to get it.’”
Russian President Vladimir Putin crashed a gala on the last day of the NATO summit in Bucharest. “Let’s be friends, guys,” he said. President George W. Bush snuck out early from a summit meeting on operations in Afghanistan, and it was reported that more than 1,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen had abandoned their posts during the Basra siege last week. Deaths of Iraqis were up 50 percent across the country compared to the previous month. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she believed peace in the Middle East will come about before President Bush leaves office in January. Doctors in Al-Anbar province named a deadly malarial infection after Blackwater, whose contract the U.S. State Department recently renewed and who are currently under investigation by the FBI for the killing of 17 Iraqi civilians. The Vatican’s newspaper reported that Islam had overtaken Roman Catholicism as the world’s largest “single religious denomination.” “While Muslim families, as is well known, continue to make a lot of children,” said Monsignor Vittorio Formenti, “Christian ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer.” A church exploded in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. “eople say miracles don’t happen now days,” said the town’s deputy fire chief, who was shielded from the blast by the bell tower. “I firmly believe they do, because one just did.” An Iowa man with a lengthy and violent criminal record was serving an eight-Sunday church sentence, and Charlton Heston, the actor and NRA spokesman who had called Martin Luther King, Jr, “a twentieth-century Moses for his people,” died at 84.
Hadijatou Mani, a former slave from Niger, was suing her government for not implementing protective laws after it ended slavery four years ago. Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe demanded a recount and refused to release the results of his country’s recent presidential election, which he probably lost, and a Burmese man was fined $1 and sentenced to life in prison for staging a silent protest outside the U.S. embassy in Rangoon. New codes were drawn up to provide the United Kingdom’s 900 working beach donkeys with such protections as vacation time, decent housing, and rider weight restrictions. Billionaire Ted Turner told Charlie Rose what will happen if global warming proceeds unchecked: “Most of the people will have died,” he said, “and the rest of us will be cannibals.” Global temperatures were expected to decrease in 2008. A Vidalia, Georgia, man who had married the widow of the man whose suicide provided him with a heart transplant twelve years ago committed suicide; it was reported that the organs donated by a New York teenager had spread cancer to all four of their recipients, killing two of them; and scientists hoped that a cure for the contagious cancer wiping out Tasmanian devils was to be found in a tumor-resistant devil named Cedric. A New Zealand man threw a hedgehog at a 15-year-old boy; “He was arrested shortly afterwards for assault with a weapon,” said Sergeant Bruce Jenkins of the Whakatane police. “Namely the hedgehog.”

It's all in your head... you just have no idea how big your head is!

What is within surrounds us. - Rainer Maria Rilke

If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves. Seek, but realize that not all answers may be revealed. For you wouldn't be able to live with them. And the point is to live everything, live the questions now, and perhaps without knowing it, you will live along some day into the answers.

It is not their intention to destroy... Their intention is to feed for as long as possible on the tremendous energies generated by the evolutionary struggle. Their purpose, therefore, is to prevent man from discovering the worlds inside himself, to keep his attention directed outwards. What would man be like if he could destroy these vampires, or drive them away? The first result would certainly be a tremendous sense of mental relief, a vanishing oppression, a surge of energy and optimism. Then man's energies would turn inward. He would discover that he has many 'selves', and that his higher 'selves' are what his ancestors would have called gods.
Colin Wilson, The Mind Parasites

The authority parasites try to impose a program of mind control, or soul enslavement [in order to] keep mankind distracted by material problems and concerns, imprisoned by its own fear of death, of mortality, and ignorant of its true, divine nature.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whosoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.
Albert Einstein

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore

I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don’t see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd. – R.A.W.

We are like caterpillars, contemplating pupation. No longer will I chew on the cabbage leaves, no longer will I spend my time moving around on the underside of the foliage. Life must be a preparation for the transition to another dimension...
Terence McKenna

"Then, as if a switch were being thrown, a great voltage will race through this finally synchronized and integrated circuit called humanity. The Earth itself will be illumined. A current charging both poles will race across the skies, connecting the polar auroras in a single brilliant flash. Like an iridescent rainbow, this circumpolar energy uniting the planetary antipodes will be instantaneously understood as the external projection of the unification of the collective mind of humanity. In that moment of understanding, we shall be collectively projected into an evolutionary domain that is presently inconceivable." ~ Jose Arguelles

We are the one's we've been waiting for, goddamnit.
