YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
The burgeoning mimesis containing a miniature slightly dented divining rod for the resuscitation in the invaginated nerve center of the Pink Child Molo Peisithanatos who runs a composite projection in every strata of reality by holding the pink child's elongated finger ontop of the external rectus of a satyriastic mantichora.
Once an intraemetic earth lizard in the extraneous puzzle once the impulsive reader blatantly used for egoistical purposes to eliminate the symbol in the glass fibers of the uncoordinated eyes in the readers brain to enter as streaks of light illuminate the fish with protrusions of flesh from deep within the Mapari-Rhomb-Brains as the Mole.
He will again go deep into those mental concepts of the perverted dear Venus of Spores the godmother of flesh who remains in the vision when the intoxication is gone to incinerate the eggs as they mimic to conceive the slumped solidity of the Pink Child as Molo the Mole.
As the conspicuous mastiff-organs of their lips as they retards circulation in the puppet's particularly sensitive mandibul-cord fingers while it in the embryonic Igneous is the anus of your flower.
Massage to form the elastic labium from the inside and to relax as the muscle of pain is inserted into the Amid Septa as the Orbicularis Oris and thus exists in a par thalamus.
But to make it even harder this base-matter of our bodies let us devour some heterogeneous elements which is univocally a combination of rhiza-growth and bitter uremia to increase the non-problem-implement along this gridiron path on our collective journey through the world.
The Non-Act.
Vacuity.
Gridded all over the internal space.
The noise-massage signifies a protracted approach any exterior of which is translucent in its un-translatable meta-textual illumination.
The interior fingers was once a little doll a root a nimbus cloud a psycophant lost in saturnalian satyriasis elongated in narrow haah haah haaah.
With its chignons intact the text can now constitute and make available in a cherubic way the celestial arcane the labium arcanum the mysteries of the lips which means that the divinity must envelop all things in visible garments and spoken garments ready to be revealed by the mystical intuition.
The mutating molecules of an invaginated drosophilian mind forms invisible lines across any existence as both actively participates only if the torch circles along the Ciceronian opposition to face all this negative matter with an absolute divergence.
Henceforth, all desires are exploitable.
From the Buddhist temple in Dhama Pali to Little Nemo in Dreamland a diaphanous structure will be woven astringent and worldly proclaiming the vis inertia of civilized man not to delineate methods of lucid wakefulness but to document some less known workings of this draconian drosophilian mind.
Here then is the totality of your fusional attributes as well as a continuum that fixes the single substance talked about to the externally evoked trepidation in the meandering ruptured contemplation and hopefully to prevent the masks of illusion to return to the bodies in the end.
In the tremulous conclave bodies are disciplined stuffed in holes clouds of flesh touch the uvula through those mildew stained nostrils.
As a gust of wind ventilate the vastness of the vessels the vagina of the lamb naked full of circuits and oils change the direction of the sound massage at this point into a flux of smallpox on the brain a virus virtual in the mind.
Or a girder full of vermin perhaps slips out from under the palm of the maladroit sephirot maiden dressed in silk pink flesh.
Rotate the head regularly without changing the angle of time.
Meanwhile in the conclave called the palate cave the little Pink Child fingers to operate along a bone white casing of energetic parallels a multitude of holes black out of which the chaotic white puppet body of the sephirot maiden will resurrect Peisithanatos as himself and sing and soon be in good sight as the coral serpent not as it were the cognizant animal stands over the crowd as a prominence of concordance as the bifurcating elevation that will bring to the living the solitude and angst of a palpable substance to hold on to as the bypass to the homeland which stems in the Hyaline where the body may grow as its transcendence widens as its orbit expands and then when it beholds that the universe is pluvial when this ever increasing membrane of flesh human flesh is gathering its fragments into en ever enlarging mass the nature of the planet Earth as it was once nurtured in the womb of Sol will not even be a memory any more.
Here in the Estotilandian Necropolis of decaying words decaying as an absolute ruler of artificial conditions she will reproduce interspecific innate planes or strata of inanity to develop a common species known to the automaton as mobile man in the future unseen.
The Earth today stands in imminent peril
...and nothing short of a planetary rescue will save it from the environmental cataclysm of dangerous climate change. Those are not the words of eco-warriors but the considered opinion of a group of eminent scientists writing in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
By Steve Connor, Science Editor, The Independent
Published: 19 June 2007
Six scientists from some of the leading scientific institutions in the United States have issued what amounts to an unambiguous warning to the world: civilisation itself is threatened by global warming.
They also implicitly criticise the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for underestimating the scale of sea-level rises this century as a result of melting glaciers and polar ice sheets.
Instead of sea levels rising by about 40 centimetres, as the IPCC predicts in one of its computer forecasts, the true rise might be as great as several metres by 2100. That is why, they say, planet Earth today is in "imminent peril".
In a densely referenced scientific paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A some of the world's leading climate researchers describe in detail why they believe that humanity can no longer afford to ignore the "gravest threat" of climate change.
In a densely referenced scientific paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A some of the world's leading climate researchers describe in detail why they believe that humanity can no longer afford to ignore the "gravest threat" of climate change.
"Recent greenhouse gas emissions place the Earth perilously close to dramatic climate change that could run out of control, with great dangers for humans and other creatures," the scientists say. Only intense efforts to curb man-made emissions of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases can keep the climate within or near the range of the past one million years, they add.
The researchers were led by James Hansen, the director of Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who was the first scientist to warn the US Congress about global warming.
The other scientists were Makiko Sato, Pushker Kharecha and Gary Russell, also of the Goddard Institute, David Lea of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Mark Siddall of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in New York.
In their 29-page paper, "Climate Change and trace gases", the scientists frequently stray from the non-emotional language of science to emphasise the scale of the problems and dangers posed by climate change.
In an email to The Independent, Dr Hansen said: "In my opinion, among our papers this one probably does the best job of making clear that the Earth is getting perilously close to climate changes that could run out of our control."
The unnatural "forcing" of the climate as a result of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threatens to generate a "flip" in the climate that could "spark a cataclysm" in the massive ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, the scientists write.
Dramatic flips in the climate have occurred in the past but none has happened since the development of complex human societies and civilisation, which are unlikely to survive the same sort of environmental changes if they occurred now.
"Civilisation developed, and constructed extensive infrastructure, during a period of unusual climate stability, the Holocene, now almost 12,000 years in duration. That period is about to end," the scientists warn. Humanity cannot afford to burn the Earth's remaining underground reserves of fossil fuel. "To do so would guarantee dramatic climate change, yielding a different planet from the one on which civilisation developed and for which extensive physical infrastructure has been built," they say.
Dr Hansen said we have about 10 years to put into effect the draconian measures needed to curb CO2 emissions quickly enough to avert a dangerous rise in global temperature. Otherwise, the extra heat could trigger the rapid melting of polar ice sheets, made far worse by the "albedo flip" - when the sunlight reflected by white ice is suddenly absorbed as ice melts to become the dark surface of open water.
The glaciers and ice sheets of Greenland in the northern hemisphere, and the western Antarctic ice sheet in the south, both show signs of the rapid changes predicted with rising temperatures. "
The albedo flip property of ice/water provides a trigger mechanism. If the trigger mechanism is engaged long enough, multiple dynamical feedbacks will cause ice sheet collapse," the scientists say. "We argue that the required persistence for this trigger mechanism is at most a century, probably less."
The latest assessment of the IPCC published earlier this year predicts little or no contribution to 21st century sea level from Greenland or Antarctica, but the six scientists dispute this interpretation. "The IPCC analyses and projections do not well account for the nonlinear physics of wet ice sheet disintegration, ice streams and eroding ice shelves, nor are they consistent with the palaeoclimate evidence we have presented for the absence of discernible lag between ice sheet forcing and sea-level rise," the scientists say.
Their study looked back over more than 400,000 years of climate records from deep ice cores and found evidence to suggest that rapid climate change over a period of centuries, or even decades, have in the past occurred once the world began to heat up and ice sheets started melting. It is not possible to assess the dangerous level of man-made greenhouse gases.
"However, it is much lower than has commonly been assumed. If we have not already passed the dangerous level, the energy infrastructure in place ensures that we will pass it within several decades," the scientists say in their findings.
"We conclude that a feasible strategy for planetary rescue almost surely requires a means of extracting [greenhouse gases] from the air."

Laboratory for a Fortressed World

Gaza in flames; army camps springing up in the Golan Heights; a spy satellite monitoring Iran and Syria; war with Hezbollah a hair trigger away; a scandal-plagued political class facing a total loss of public faith.
At a glance, things aren't going well in Israel. So why, in the midst of such volatility, is the Israeli economy booming like it's 1999, with a roaring stock market and growth rates nearing China's?

* A reduction of as little as 10 to 15 per cent could cripple oil-dependent industrial economies. In the 1970s, a reduction of just 5 per cent caused a price increase of more than 400 per cent.
* Most farming equipment is either built in oil-powered plants or uses diesel as fuel. Nearly all pesticides and many fertilisers are made from oil.
* Most plastics, used in everything from computers and mobile phones to pipelines, clothing and carpets, are made from oil-based substances.
* Manufacturing requires huge amounts of fossil fuels. The construction of a single car in the US requires, on average, at least 20 barrels of oil.
* Most renewable energy equipment requires large amounts of oil to produce.
* Metal production - particularly aluminium - cosmetics, hair dye, ink and many common painkillers all rely on oil.

"I have always felt that I am an empiricist . . . [My empiricism] is derived from the two characteristics by which Whitehead defined empiricism: the abstract does not explain, but must itself be explained; and the aim is not to rediscover the eternal or the universal, but to find the conditions under which something new is produced (creativeness)."
"The history of philosophy isn't a particularly reflective discipline. It's rather like portraiture in painting. Producing mental, conceptual portraits. As in painting, you have to create a likeness, but in a different material: the likeness is something you have to produce, rather than a way of reproducing anything (which comes down to just repeating what a philosopher says)."
"The history of philosophy has always been the agent of power in philosophy, and even in thought. It has played the repressors role: how can you think without having read Plato, Descartes, Kant and Heidegger, and so-and-so's book about them? A formidable school of intimidation which manufactures specialists in thought - but which also makes those who stay outside conform all the more to this specialism which they despise. An image of thought called philosophy has been formed historically and it effectively stops people from thinking."

"The original film was rescued from a Tokyo trash bin. It is an American sexual education film in which plant and animal sex are explained. I, together with an artist friend, Natsuyuki Nakanishi, punched big holes in almost all of the frames. It was a protest against Japanese censorship of explicit images of sex, particularly pubic hair which the censors would cover with black marks. I inserted a few subliminal frames of pornographic imagery from magazines several times throughout the film. At the end, I even punched holes in these subliminal pictures, thereby 'censoring' the censored image." -- Takahiko Iimura

Taming Corporations Gone Wild
by Ralph Nader
Back in the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt went on national radio and declared what the basic necessities were for the American people—a wage that can support a family, decent housing, the right to health care, a good education and future economic security.
Sound familiar today? It certainly would sound familiar to a majority of the American people. The struggle for livelihood, the struggles to escape poverty, calamitous health care bills, mounting debt, gouging rents and failing, crumbling schools continues year after year.
What’s that French saying? “The more things change, the more they remain the same.”
Things have changed for the rich and corporate, though. The rich have gotten richer. The talk now is about the super-rich and the hyper-rich. The richest 1 percent of people in this country has financial wealth equal to the combined financial wealth of the bottom 95 percent.
The big corporations are more avaricious than ever. The past decade’s corporate crime wave, dutifully reported in the major business media—newspapers and magazines—demonstrates how trillions of dollars were looted, or drained away, from tens of millions of small investors, pensioners and workers.
In FDR’s time, the CEOs of the top 300 corporations paid themselves about 12 times the average wage in their company. Now the “top greed” registers 400 to 500 times what the average workers eke out in a full year. Wal-Mart is an example of that sheer self-serving power at the top.
All this is occurring while the big companies deliver comparatively far less to the economic well-being of the American worker. The CEOs are otherwise preoccupied with figuring out how they can outsource more American jobs to China and India, how they can hollow out more communities and ship whole industries to those and other countries, many under authoritarian rule, that promise to keep the CEOs’ operations at costs close to serfdom.
Interesting, isn’t it, that the CEOs say it is necessary to flee our country—where they were nurtured to their size and profits—in order to keep up with global competition. But they never urge outsourcing their own CEO jobs to hardworking, bilingual executives in the Third World willing to work for less than one-tenth of the U.S. CEOs’ pay package.
Besides, who wrote the rules (North American Free Trade Agreement, World Trade Organization) that define the global competition? Big Business and its lawyer-lobbyists.
Uncle Sam has bent over to give Big Business what it has demanded in the past 25 years. Huge tax reductions, compared to the prosperous 1960s. Massive deregulation, or the abandonment of law and order against criminal, negligent or defrauding corporations. Your tax dollars were transferred in the form of subsidies, handouts, giveaways and bailouts to demanding, mismanaged or corrupt large businesses.
Still, it was not enough coddling to keep these giant companies from casting aside what allegiance they had to our country, its communities and people. The companies’ standard is to control them or quit them as these CEOs see fit.
When BusinessWeek magazine answered a resounding “yes” to its cover story in 2000, “Too Much Corporate Power?,” the editors were not kidding. They even wrote an editorial saying that “corporations should get out of politics.” I guess they meant that since corporations do not vote, and are not human beings, that they should not be honing in on what should be the exclusive domain of real people.
More and more conservatives believe that Big Business (Wall Street vs. Main Street) is out of control and stomping on conservative values. They don’t like corporate welfare, corporate eminent domain against the little guys, commercial invasion of privacies, WTO and NAFTA shredding our sovereignty, corporate crimes (Enron, Worldcom, etc.) or Big Government on behalf of Big Business empires around the world.
They are appalled by corporations directly selling bad things and violent programming to their children, whom these companies teach to nag parents.
It is time for the American people to get off the defense and take the offense against corporate power, the way it was done in the consumer, environmental and worker areas from 1965 to 1975 and beyond, and move to new frontiers of subordinating the big corporations to the rights and necessities of real people.

Magis (pronounced "màh-gis") is a Jesuit phrase that means "the more". It is taken from Ad majorem Dei gloriam, meaning "for the greater glory of God". Magis refers to the philosophy of doing more, for Christ, and therefore for others. It is an expression of an aspiration and inspiration. It relates to forming the ideal society centered around Jesus Christ.
It is also rooted in St. Ignatius' exercise of doing more for God. He would encourage people around him during his time and he would ask to encourage: "What have I done for God? What am I doing for God? and What MORE can I do for God?"
