Mi'kmaq Book of The Dead

Mi'kmaq Book of The Dead

March 31, 2016

The child of both poetry and the visual arts, visual poetry has a
double set of interests and its forms are myriad.

Some visual poets continue to write traditional poems that require
a certain visual context in which to properly mean a context
so important that it serves as a critical component of a unified text.

Other visual poets focus entirely on lettershape, drawing out the
beauty of these pieces of language either in isolation (sometimes
focused on parts of letters) or in swirling clouds of characters.

Miekal And often incorporates alien scripts into his work.

These can be undecipherable writing systems of history, scripts
unfamiliar to most people, and scripts invented by him or others.

He uses these to allow us to see written language with new eyes, to
appreciate its visual forms, and to face the process of searching for
meaning in a foreign textscape.

His "Mi'kmaq Book of The Dead" combines seemingly recognizable
characters with apparently pictographic ones, encouraging us to
pick out a meaning we will never quite find on our own. - Geof Huth

The Lord's Prayer

The Lord's Prayer

By Catechism.org
March 29, 2016

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven; Give us this
day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation; but
deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever and ever, Amen

The Introduction

"Our Father Who Art In Heaven"

What does this mean?

With these words God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our
true Father and that we are His true children, so that with all
boldness and confidence we may ask Him as dear children ask their
dear father.

The First Petition

"Hallowed Be Thy Name"

What does this mean?

God’s name is certainly holy in itself, but we pray in this petition
that it may be kept holy among us also.

How is God’s name kept holy?

God’s name is kept holy when the Word of God is taught in its
truth and purity, and we, as the children of God, also lead holy
lives according to it.

Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven.

But anyone who teaches or lives contrary to God’s Word profanes
the name of God among us.

Protect us from this, heavenly Father.

The Second Petition

"Thy Kingdom Come"

What does this mean?

The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without our prayer,
but we pray in this petition that it may come to us also.

How does God’s kingdom come?

God’s kingdom comes when our heavenly Father gives us His
Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His holy Word and
lead godly lives here in time and there in eternity.

The Third Petition

"Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven"

What does this mean?

The good and gracious will of God is done even without our prayer,
but we pray in this petition that it may be done among us also.

How is God’s will done?

God’s will is done when He breaks and hinders every evil plan and
purpose of the devil, the world, and our sinful nature, which do not
want us to hallow God’s name or let His kingdom come; and when
He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith until we die.

This is His good and gracious will.

The Fourth Petition

"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread"

What does this mean?

God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers,
even to all evil people, but we pray in this petition that God would
lead us to realize this and to receive our daily bread with
thanksgiving.

What is meant by daily bread?

Daily bread includes everything that has to do with the support
and needs of the body, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes,
house, home, land, animals, money, goods, a devout husband
or wife, devout children, devout workers, devout and faithful
rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, self-
control, good reputation, good friends, faithful neighbors, and
the like.

The Fifth Petition

"And Forgive Us Our Trespasses As We Forgive Those Who Trespass
Against Us"

What does this mean?

We pray in this petition that our Father in heaven would not look
at our sins, or deny our prayer because of them.

We are neither worthy of the things for which we pray, nor have
we deserved them, but we ask that He would give them all to us
by grace, for we daily sin much and surely deserve nothing but
punishment.

So we too will sincerely forgive and gladly do good to those who sin
against us.

The Sixth Petition

"And Lead Us Not Into Temptation"

What does this mean?

God tempts no one.

We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us so that
the devil, the world, and our sinful nature may not deceive us, or
mislead us into false belief, despair, and other great shame, and
vice.

Although we are attacked by these things, we pray that we may
finally overcome them and win the victory.

The Seventh Petition

"But Deliver Us From Evil"

What does this mean?

We pray in this petition, in summary, that our Father in heaven
would rescue us from every evil of body and soul, possessions and
reputation, and finally, when our last hour comes, give us a blessed
end, and graciously take us from this valley of sorrow to Himself in
heaven.

The Conclusion

"For Thine Is The Kingdom And The Power And The Glory Forever
And Ever Amen"

What does this mean?

This means that I should be certain that these petitions are pleasing
to our Father in heaven, and are heard by Him; for He Himself has
commanded us to pray in this way, and He has promised to hear us.

Amen, means, “yes, yes, it shall be so.”

An Easter Promise

An Easter Promise

By Helen Steiner Rice
Sunday, March 27, 2016

As the Easter Season dawns once again,
We look on a world of restless men.

Men who are 'driven' by fear and greed,
And caught in a web of tension and speed.

Driving themselves and the world as well,
Into a future no one can foretell.

Oh God, instead of vain 'driven men',
Fill man's heart with true 'Drive' again.

Spurred on by faith in God above,
To build a new world of 'Brotherly' love.

God give us eyes to see the beauty of the Spring,
And to behold Your majesty in every living thing.

And may we see in lacy leaves and every budding flower,
The Hand that rules the universe with gentleness and power.

And may this Easter grandeur that Spring lavishly imparts,
Awaken faded flowers of faith lying dormant in our hearts.

And give us ears to hear dear God the Springtime song of birds,
With messages more meaningful than man's often empty words.

Telling harried human beings who are lost in dark despair,
Be like us and do not worry for God has you in His care.

If we but had the eyes to see God's face in every cloud,
If we but had the ears to hear His voice above the crowd.

If we could feel His gentle touch in ever Springtime breeze,
And find a haven in His arms neath sheltering leafy trees.

If we could just lift up our hearts like flowers to the sun,
And trust His, 'Easter Promise' and pray, "Thy Will Be Done".

We'd find the peace we're seeking, the kind no man can give,
The peace that comes from knowing He, "Died" so we might Live!

Helen Steiner Rice (May 19, 1900 – April 23, 1981) was a successful American Businesswoman, Lecturer, and Writer, of religious and inspirational poetry.

Malcolm & Martin

Malcolm & Martin

By Zachary K. Hubbard
March 26, 2016

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. only met one time, March 26,
1964, a date with '93' numerology, matching both men's name gematria.

3/26/64 = 3+26+64 = 93

Malcolm X = 13+1+12+3+15+12+13+24 = 93

Martin = 4+1+9+2+9+5 = 30
Luther = 3+3+2+8+5+9 = 30
King = 2+9+5+7 = 23
Jr. = 1+9 = 10
Martin Luther King Jr. = 93

"Martin Luther King Jr." in the English Reduction system equals 93.

"Malcolm X" in the English Ordinal system equals 93.

Remember, both men were murdered at age 39, the reflection
of 93.

With regards to Malcolm X, he was born on May 19, the 139th day
of the year.

Freemasonry = 6+18+5+5+13+1+19+15+14+18+25 = 139

Notice they met in '64, the year of the Civil Rights Act, which
was signed July 2, 1964, the midway point of the year.

Civil = 3+9+4+9+3 = 28
Rights = 9+9+7+8+2+1 = 36/45
Civil Rights = 64/73
7/2/64 = 7+2+64 = 73

The day the two icons met on, March 26, 1964, was the 86th day
of the year because 1964 was a leap year.

'86' is the number of 'symbol', and both MLK and Malcolm X,
are quite symbolic.

Symbol = 19+25+13+2+15+12 = 86
Triangle = 20+18+9+1+14+7+12+5 = 86
Pyramid = 16+25+18+1+13+9+4 = 86

And let us not forget, both men died by the numbers, with Malcolm
X dying February 21, 1965 and Martin Luther King Jr. dying April 4,
1968.

2/21/1965 = 2+21+(1+9+6+5) = 44
April Fourth, or 4/4...
Kill = 11+9+12+12 = 44

"April Fourth" in the English Ordinal system equals 144.

"Forty Four" in the English Ordinal system equals 144.

Malcolm X's assassin was Thomas Hagan, who received a 44-year
prison sentence.

Thomas = 2+8+6+4+1+1 = 22
Hagan = 8+1+7+1+5 = 22
Thomas Hagan = 44
44-year prison sentence

Martin Luther King Jr's assassin would die in prison on April 23,
1998, the 113th day of the year.

4/23/1998 = 4+23+19+98 = 144

"Scottish" in the English Ordinal system equals 113.

"Mainstream" in the English Ordinal system equals 113.

"Dishonest" in the English Ordinal system equals 113.

As for Malcolm X's death, it was 333-days from his meeting
with Dr. King.

From and including: Thursday, March 26, 1964

To and including: Sunday, February 21, 1965

This year, March 26, 2016, will be the 52nd anniversary of
their meeting.

Recall that the country is 239 years old this year, and 239,
is the 52nd prime number.

He Hate Me

He Hate Me

By Dr. Ann Ross
March 24, 2016

There are scientific reasons why people hate each other.

Republicans hate Democrats, Liberals hate Conservatives,
Sunnis hate Shiites, etc.

The laws on cancer, quantum leaps affects, and your immune
system govern hate.

1. Hate acts like a cancer. It can metastasize long distances
and you have no idea where it will show up.

Hate like cancer has no bounds, it infects Republicans,
Democrats, Conservatives and Liberals equally, that's
why we have demonstrators and violence on both sides.

2. Hate can do quantum leaps, like the war in Syria.

How high are our hate politics going to get?

The more we hate each other this election, who knows what
destruction occurs when hate will do its quantum leaps?

3. Hate acts like your immune system, it attacks things it does
not recognize.

Likewise we attack people with hate those who are different
than us, by race, language, religion and political party - Part
of the reason for the Supreme Court nominee impasse.

We understand how and why hate is spread and then we may
develop the best, "prescription" policy to solve our problems
internationally and within this country alike.

Which side are you on, the devil of hate or the God of forgiveness;
hopefully a new dawn will rise on this nation when we choose the
ladder.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., What Would You Say?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., What Would You Say?

By Cornel West
Via - YouTube
March 21, 2016

You don’t play with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and you don’t play
with his people.

By his people, I mean people of good conscience, fundamentally
good people committed to peace and truth and justice, especially
the Black tradition that produced it.

All of the blood, sweat and tears that went into producing a
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., generated a brother of such high
decency and dignity that you don’t use his prophetic fire for
a moment of presidential pageantry without understanding the
challenge he represents to all of those in power, regardless of
what color they are.

The righteous indignation of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
becomes a moment of political calculation.

And that makes my blood boil. Why?

Because Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., died…he died…for the
three crimes against humanity that he was wrestling with.

Jim Crow, traumatizing, terrorizing, stigmatizing Black people.
Lynching, not just ‘segregation’ as the press likes to talk about.

Second, carpet bombing in Vietnam killing innocent people,
especially innocent children, those are war crimes that Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was willing to die for.

And thirdly, was poverty of all colors, he said it is a crime against
humanity for the richest nation in the world to have so many of it’s
precious children of all colors living in poverty and especially on the
chocolate side of the nation, and on Indian reservations and brown
barrios and yellow slices and black ghettos — we call them hoods
now, but ghettos then.

So I said to myself ain’t nothing wrong with putting your hand on
the bible, even though the bible’s talking about justice, Jesus is
talking about the least of these, but when you put it on Martin’s
bible, I said this is personal for me, because this is the tradition
that I come out of.

Brother Martin Luther King, Jr., what would you do
about the new Jim Crow?

What would say about the Prison Industrial Complex?

What would you say about the invisibility of so many of our
prisoners, so many of our incarcerated, especially when 62%
of them are there for soft drugs and not one executive of a
Wall Street bank has gone to jail?

Not one.

Not one wire-tapper, not one torturer under the
Bush Administration.

Then what would he say about the drones on the precious brothers,
and sisters, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in Somalia, in Yemen,
in Pakistan, and in Syria?

These are war crimes, just like the war crimes in Vietnam.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., what would you say?

An Open Letter To The U.S. Mainstream News Media

An Open Letter To The U.S. Mainstream News Media

By Expotera
March 14, 2016

Dear U.S. Mainstream News Media:

My name is Tony Whitcomb and I am a 50 year old African American
male and all I can honestly say is the more you try to, "Hate On"
and/or try to, "Demonize" Mr. Donald J. Trump, and/or any of my
fellow American Citizens who are now deciding to not only support
Mr. Trump, but to go out and, "Vote" for him as well, the more,
"Dishonest" as well as the more, "Corrupt" you are now making not
only each and every one of yourselves look, but each and every one
of your independent and separate news organizations look as well.

You see and for the record, Mr. Donald J. Trump has had
absolutely, positively, "Nothing" to do with our Country's national
debt growing from, "$5 Trillion Dollars" back on January 01, 1996,
to now sitting at well over, "$18 Trillion Dollars" as of January 01,
2016.

But the last three presidential administrations being the Clinton,
Bush, and Obama, "Presidential Administrations" have now had
absolutely, positively, "Everything" to do with our Country's national
debt now growing from $5 Trillion Dollars back on January 01, 1996,
to well over $18 Trillion Dollars as of January 01, 2016.

Back on July 3, 2008 and one day before, "Independence Day"
then Senator Barack Obama openly stated the following:

"The problem is, the way Bush has done it over the last eight
years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in
the name of our children, driving up our national debt from
$5 trillion for the first 42 presidents - #43 added $4 trillion
by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt
that we are going to have to pay back, $30,000 for every man,
woman, and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic."

Back in the summer of 2008 it was deemed both, "Irresponsible"
as well as, "Unpatriotic" for then President George Bush by his,
"lonesome" in the words of current President Barack Obama, to
have added over $4 Trillion Dollars to the national debt back at
that time.

But since this time President Barack Obama by his, "lonesome"
has now added an additional and well over, "$8 Trillion Dollars"
to the current national debt and my very simply question here for
all of you who are now currently working in the U.S. Mainstream
News Media is, if adding $4 Trillion Dollars to the national debt
makes someone, " Irresponsible" as well as, "Unpatriotic" what does
adding an additional, "$8 Trillion Dollars" to the national debt now
make someone like say a, "President Barack Obama" here on March
14, 2016??

History has now repeatedly shown that the U.S Mainstream
News Media, "Lies" and U.S Politicians, "Lie" but the numbers
do not, "Lie" and in this case all of the, "Numbers" simply
speak for themselves here as well.

But when you have dishonest, as well as unintelligent people now
trying to defend the, "Indefensible" by trying to call and/or by now
trying to portray Mr. Donald J. Trump, as a, "Neo-Facist" and/or as
a, "Racist" individual, for simply pointing out that our Country has
now been very intentionally run into the ground over these past
three presidential administrations, there is of course going to be
the potential for a very, very, very, "Violent" reaction to all of this,
simply because people like myself for example, are simply tired of
being, "Lied" to, and we are now starting to, "Hate" each and every
one of you who is now working in the U.S. Mainstream News Media,
as much as we, "Hate" all of the politicians who have now put our
Country well over, "$18 Trillion Dollars" in debt as well, because all
of, "You" are completely out of touch with the, "American People"
because none of you are willing to tell the, "Truth" to the American
People as well.

Sincerely,

Tony Whitcomb

How To: Sell Your Soul To The Devil

How To: Sell Your Soul To The Devil

By Anonymous
Via - Uncyclopedia

Many people desire to sell their soul to the devil, but have no way
of knowing how to go about it.

Perhaps their marketing knowledge is scarce, or they do not have
contact information for the devil.

For those who have always wanted to sell their soul to the devil,
by reading this guide you will soon have the means at your disposal.

Step One

Determine what your soul is worth. Peruse Consumer Reports to
find out what other souls are going for.

If you sell too cheaply, you will resent the bad deal for the rest
of your eternal life in Hell.

If your asking price is too high, the devil may laugh while declining
your proposal. He may find you so idiotic that he will refuse to
meet with you again.

If you choose to bargain with the devil, be prepared for a long
business meeting.

Just to end it all, you will make an agreement you regret.

So, think long and hard about the worth of your soul before
planning to sell it. If you have difficulty, see a financial adviser.

Note that the financial adviser should under no circumstances have
a law degree, as it is common knowledge that all lawyers sell their
souls during the last stage of the bar exam.

Step Two

So you've put a firm monetary value on your soul.

Plan very carefully what you will do with this money, because you
will only be able to enjoy it for a short time compared to your
eternity in hell.

Perhaps you will create a bucket list of things to do before Satan
comes knocking at your door.

The amount you can receive depends largely on your intelligence.

Obviously, Satan doesn't see any challenge to tricking stupid
people, and, if Charlie Daniels is correct, he also appreciates
musical talent.

Another factor in your soul's value is how desperate you are.

Money is nothing to a supernatural being like Satan, and with and
endless supply provided by the Federal Reserve Bank, He'll often
give you a little extra just for your troubles.

At this point, you are probably having doubts and fears.

No doubt angels have visited you and pleaded with you
not to go through with this decision.

The important thing is to hold your chin up, proud that your
selfishness in the here and now is more important than a life
of charity leading to eternal peace.

"Begone, Goodness!" will become your catch phrase.

Step Three

Know how to contact the devil. Your local Satanic Church may be
able to provide you with the address and phone number of one of
Satan's trusted representatives on Earth.

If you would rather speak to the devil without a mediator,
you may purchase a Ouija Board for less than $20.

A cheaper method is to buy a tub of black ink, pour it in a bowl
and gaze into it after lighting candles in the shape of a pentagram.

Stare into the darkness and the devil should appear. If he does
not appear, the line is busy and you should try again later.

Step Four

Set out your terms for the Prince of Darkness to consider.

Remember to include such things as how long you will live,
how healthy you will be and whether you will have romantic opportunities.

Many forgo these considerations in lieu of only money. Ask
for unmarked bills and don't leave until you get them.

Sign nothing until you see the cash.

Don't grab the cash and attempt to run off before signing, either.
Satan gets very, very angry, and will likely damn you to Super Hell.

Step Five

Celebrate your achievement! You are now an insider!

Go out and have a beer with your friends.

Live it up, secure in the knowledge that your comfy stateroom
beside the Fiery Pits awaits you when Eternity arrives.

The Mutiny of The Dead

The Mutiny of The Dead

By Adeosun Pelum
March 9, 2016

The wilted branch of the willow tree,
Drooped, touching her headstone with its tender fingers,
The browning grasses and the primroses stood like a 1000 soldiers,
Ever watchful and protective of her realm,
They were her friends and her only companions.

The muffled silence and the mournful wails of the wind,
Were the only voice she’s ever heard,
And she loved listening to them too.

The flapping wings of the raven,
Ruffling the slumbering atmosphere,
Announced his presence as he gave raucous caw;
A greeting no one else understood but her,
And she would respond with a well meaning silence.

She seemed to give a knowing smile,
As the raven perched on her headstone,
Stirring the still flowers with a gentle draft of wind,
From his ominously dark and ethereal wings.

He is her friend too;
Her only living friend in flesh;
Yet, like her, he is unwelcome in the land of the living
where he dwells.

News from the land beyond, he always bring,
And she would listened so aptly,
That even her quietness rivals that of the gloomy silence.

Today, he brought her a joyous tale;
Of the carnage behind the mortal veil;
And from it, she knew it’s already begun;
The mutiny of the dead.

She knew what must be done,
Soon others like her would seek refuge,
In the voluminous bowels of the caring mother earth,
And she would welcome them with a regal smile of a queen,
Which she is.

She would show them love and give them the unrestrained attention denied them by the living.

She would listen to their troubles and calm them with soothing tales of hers.

She would tell the tale of the beautiful moonlight,
Whose pale and innocent looks calms the mind of the troubled,
And she would tell that of the sun,
Whose radiance warms the earth,
Beneath which they lay.

Then she would conclude it with a tale of her own,
Of how she was stabbed by a lover’s hand,
On the night of her marriage to her betrothed.

And she would round it up with the declaration,
Of her passionate and hateful devotion,
To the end of humanity.

Plausible Deniability

Plausible Deniability

By Wikipedia.org
March 3, 2016

Plausible Deniability is the ability for persons (typically senior
officials in a formal or informal chain of command) to deny
knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed
by others (usually subordinates in an organizational hierarchy)
because of a lack of evidence that can confirm their participation,
even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully
ignorant of the actions.

The objective is for the focus, in damaging revelations, to be
redirected typically to subordinates in the organizational hierarchy.

In the case that illegal or otherwise disreputable and unpopular
activities become public, high-ranking officials may deny any
awareness of such act in order to insulate themselves and shift
blame onto the agents who carried out the acts, confident that
their doubters will be unable to prove otherwise.

The lack of evidence to the contrary ostensibly makes the denial
plausible, that is, credible, although sometimes it merely makes
it unactionable.

The term typically implies forethought, such as intentionally setting
up the conditions to plausibly avoid responsibility for one's (future)
actions or knowledge.

In some organizations, legal doctrines such as command
responsibility exist to hold major parties responsible for
the actions of subordinates involved in heinous acts and
nullify any legal protection that their denial of involvement
would carry.

In politics and espionage, deniability refers to the ability of a
powerful player or intelligence agency to pass the buck and avoid
blowback by secretly arranging for an action to be taken on their
behalf by a third party ostensibly unconnected with the major
player.

In political campaigns, "Plausible Deniability" enables candidates
to stay clean and denounce third-party advertisements that use
unethical approaches or potentially libellous innuendo.

Plausible Deniability is also a legal concept.

It refers to lack of evidence proving an allegation.

Standards of proof vary in civil and criminal cases.

In civil cases, the standard of proof is, "preponderance of
the evidence" whereas in a criminal matter, the standard
is "beyond a reasonable doubt."

If an opponent cannot provide evidence for his allegation,
one can plausibly deny the allegation even though it may
be true.

Although plausible deniability has existed throughout history,
the name for it was coined by the CIA in the early 1960s to
describe the withholding of information from senior officials
in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that
illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge.

Because of this the official evidence that would confirm high level
government participation, even if 100 percent directly or indirectly,
knowledgeable, and/or personally involved, or at the very least,
willfully ignorant of the actions, there is no official accountability.

The roots of the name go back to Harry Truman's national security
council paper 10/2 of June 18, 1948, which defined "covert
operations" as "...all activities conducted pursuant to this directive
which are so planned and executed that any U.S. Government
responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons and
that if uncovered the U.S. Government can plausibly disclaim any
responsibility for them."

[NSC 5412 was de-classified in 1977, and is located at the National
Archives, RG 273.]
