The Three Days of Darkness will occur in either late 2039 or early 2040. It is three days of supernatural darkness over the whole world. It is like a supernatural storm of darkness. Anyone caught outside when it begins will be killed supernaturally. One third of the population of the earth will be killed in those 3 days.
Everyone who wants to survive must remain indoors for the entire 3 days. Only blessed candles (and other blessed objects) will give light, and then only for those who are faithful. The impious will have visions of Hellfire and of the suffering of the sinful (repentant and unrepentant). Do not open a door or window during those 3 days -- not for any reason!
No electrical devices will work during those 3 days. There will be no light reaching human beings from the sun, moon, or stars, and no light from electricity or fire or other sources (other than blessed candles, etc.).
Before the three days of darkness, the media and the impious will have convinced most people not to allow the great monarch to take his rightful place as leader of the vast territory once held by the Arab nations. After the 3 days of darkness, the world will agree to make him king over that vast territory. By the 3 days of darkness, the media will be corrected and will finally cease from their many offences.

From Gaping Maw:
CENSORED BY US GOVERNMENT
18 USC 2257
Yes, that is correct. The wonderful things that used to be here, the very funny things that you want to read, have been made retroactively illegal by the US government, in a side-handed attack on the pornography industry.
We might mention that the material here isn't even pornography as you normally think of it -- this site is just adult humor, in essay format, with some illustrations. The government is mandating that we meet certain bookkeeping requirements, ones impossible to meet for this site. Never mind that those requirements do not actually gain the public anything. This is the strongest attack on free speech since the passage of the CDA, and oddly, the media seems to have hardly noticed. The penalty for not abiding by these bookkeeping requirements is five years prison.
The regulations were promulgated by Alberto Gonzales, US Attorney General appointed by George Bush. If you voted for Bush, this is your fault. If you think this country is free, you are sadly mistaken. No nation has freedom when it is run by religious zealots.
Regulations effective 24 June 2005.

I'm not going to any porn sites that don't pay their own models from now on, and no more P2P porn either. The law is written in a way that might allow for crackdowns on both.

"Art historian Eric Rosenberg, in his essay about Kaitzâs new body of work, states: "What is so exciting about Sharon Kaitzâs new work is that in letting go of the literalness of words, these paintings suggest the possibility that words and letters were, or are, forms in the world, in our cognitive fields, before and beside their status as meaning, or units thereof. What, in other words, might cognition look like if it were always formal, as well as contentive? Ho do we recognize language as extant while feeling its forms as resistant to meaning? What might it be like to have language that is natural to us, innate, and yet prior to understanding, or exclusive of it? What, in other words, would language be like if we could see it, recognize it visually as our own, but have that recognition stop short of semantics, syntax, narrative, description?"

"The explosion of media and news outlets with the arrival of the Internet has made such concise writing less necessary, and raised the need for more feature-style writing."

"With the Cold War long over, Moon’s purposes are no longer necessarily compatible with the aims of American conservatives or the United States government. If his newspaper promotes a hard line toward North Korea, the would-be messiah and his commercialized church have pursued a very different policy -- and they have done so from within the newspaper itself. Given Moon’s propensity for what many ex-disciples have called “heavenly deception,” the doctrine that God must fight Satan’s deception with righteous lies, the paper’s editorial policy may merely serve as a diversion from his self-serving ties with North Korea."

"This country desperately needs a God-centered president, senators and congressmen. America's intellectual establishment is liberal, godless, secular, humanistic, and anti-religious. We are declaring war against three main enemies: godless communism, Christ-less American liberalism, and secular-humanistic morality. They are the enemies of God, the True Parents, the Unification Church, all of Christianity, and all religions. We are working to mobilize a united front against them."

Another London Times article on the DSM. Also here is Downing Street Memo.Com and Democrats.Com where reporters have been offered $1000 to ask about the memo during press conferences.

I've been burned out on posting since I've made it back. I did just add a link to Jesus' General, but of course if you haven't been reading the General's page already then you're probably somewhat lower than a 10 on the scale of absolute gender, i.e., French.
That said, I'm not happy with the way the text lines up when you post. It would better if you looked blocked at the ends and if all the none post extras--comments, date, poster, etc.--all appeared under the post. I can't figure out how to make that happen.
Now I shall go find post-worthy materials.

We should really pay a lot more attention to Iran. But then, America's youth only comprises roughly 29% of the population, as opposed to over half. (US Census '00, 281 million puss bags, 84 million under the age of 21.)

Chairman silences Democrats at a hearing on the Patriot Act by cutting the microphones
Democrats invoked Rule 11 so that they would be able to call witnesses in the Judiciary Committee's hearing on the Patriot Act on Friday. However, Chairman James Sensenbrenner illegally adjourned the meeting, and basically acted like a dick (interrupting witnesses and cutting people's microphones.)

People want us to fight, and we are here to fight," Dean said during a quarterly meeting of the party's 64-member executive committee. "We are not going to lie down in front of the Republican machine anymore."
Dean's aides said he now realizes he needs to choose his words more carefully
I swear I'm the only one Drinking.
