Some Stuff From Noam Chomsky From April 2011
For those of you who actually like to listen to someone who is both Intelligent, and Interesting, here is a Treat. It is 3 Part Series of Videos of a Speech by Dr. Noam Chomsky, a well known Political Activist [you know this already], and Super Famous Professor of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
If Intelligent Speech causes you to convulse and long for reruns of American Idol, then I advise you to avoid watching these Videos. Also, be aware that the Quality of the Sound in the Videos is not perfect. But even so, it is nice to enjoy the Wisdom that Dr, Chomsky bestows upon the Audience:

There is a Question and Answer series of Videos that goes with this as well, but you can easily find them by going to YouTube and entering this Zany Set of Search Terms "Noam Chomsky April 2011."
I hope that all my Readers enjoy this Post. Dr. Chomsky is a personal Hero of mine, and I am happy to present his Speech in place of my own Disjointed and Occasionally Psychotic Rants. Again, remember that all Posts on this Blog are best enjoyed in the Nude [Be prepared to see this frequently as I am an Advocate of ending Wars and Violence via Nudism/Naturism]. Peace and Compassion to everyone.
The Missing Stories about the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
Perhaps I am just Dense or Developmentally Disabled [I am both], but I wonder why I no longer see numerous headlines about the HORRIFIC NUCLEAR DISASTER IN JAPAN? In spite of the Brave and Optimistic language used by Japanese and World Regulatory Officials BEFORE the Story disappeared from the Headlines, the Information seeping out is less than encouraging.
The Japanese Government says today [in a small print Story on CNN.com International Edition] that it will take Nine Months to shut down the damaged and leaking Reactors at Fukushima. Again, pardon my resounding ignorance, but who the fuck decided that Nine Months of leaking Radiation into the Atmosphere [the SAME ATMOSPHERE that I happen to live in] is okay with the Peoples of the World? At least one of those Reactors has Plutonium in it, [No, this is not a new Element discovered by Disney, it is one of the Deadliest substances known to Man], and I find the attitudes of the Japanese and World Leaders leave me a little . . . ANGRY.

At least one of those Reactors has Plutonium in it, [No, this is not a new Element discovered by Disney, it is one of the Deadliest substances known to Man], and I find the attitudes of the Japanese and World Leaders leave me a little . . . ANGRY.
It is odd to me that, when Civilians in Libya were apparently being killed by Fashion Nightmare Muammar Gaddafi [apparently, there are Billions of spellings of his name], the World Community responded with Planes, Missiles, Rhetoric, and Bombs. I know that this little Nuclear Disaster only threatens to eventually kill HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF JAPANESE PEOPLE, or maybe more, and potentially others around the World via the drifting Fallout, but could we at least get the same level of Response that we got for Gaddafi?
Is there maybe some reason why the Interest in the Japanese Nuclear Disaster has died down? Could it be that the Nuclear Industry has "Ramped Up" their Lobbying Efforts around the World? We all know that they put the Interests of People and Animals and Environment BEFORE PROFITS [Don't have a Stroke, I'm being Sarcastic], but could some wires have gotten crossed and sent them into a Lobbying Panic?
It seems that most of what Nuclear Industry Officials have focused on, is the potential Liability Exposures, and how the Bad Publicity is going the effect the Industry. I can see the reason for their concern. I can't see the reason why that concern has not been more for the effects on People, Animals, and Environment. [Are these Time Travelers from "SkyNet"?]
Please be aware that reading the entire Story in Business Insurance Magazine may induce a Coma. But, scan over it and see where the main points of the Story lie. Compare this, if you can, with the type of information being presented to the World by the Mainstream Corporate Media. Do they Match? [Oh, a Game!]
If this horrible thing that is taking place in Japan is killing People right now, then something should be done. Judging by the lack of detailed information coming from Japanese and World Nuclear Energy Officials, I have doubts that we can trust them to protect the interests of World Health and Safety without being PESTERED by we lowly Potential Victims.
So, here is my worthless and ignorant suggestion for what should be done. First, write to the Following People and tell them that you are completely dissatisfied with the Japanese and World Response to the Nuclear Disaster in Japan. Express all your concerns in non-threatening language [No mention of Guns, Takeovers, Kidnapping, or Revolution--that might get you a visit from some "Men With No Names"], and ask them how you can assist them in addressing your concerns. Here are some useful Links to accomplish this:
Additionally, let me suggest that you contact a number of Nonprofit Organizations that deal with Advocating on Issues related to Nuclear Energy [Take a guess about whether or not I am going to post Pro-Nuclear Energy Links--also this list is not exhaustive--Google around for more]:
At this point, I hope you have been encouraged to put down your Beer, Wine, Cocktail, Tab of LSD, Marijuana Joint, Dildo, Bible, Gun, Porno Magazine, Sports Magazine, Fashion Magazine, Package of Goat Cheese, Tuba, iPod, Money, Penis, Vagina, Hair Brush, or whatever, and get busy contacting these People to Advocate for a Nuclear-Free World. If not, ignore everything I've said here.

My Love of both Music and Pandering
Because I love both Music, and Pandering to those whom I wish to continually read my Blog, I will be exposing my Readers to Music they might not otherwise hear elsewhere. Today, I am Posting a Piece of Malagasy Music [Music From Madagascar] that represents a Style called "Salegy. " I hope you enjoy it. If not, listen anyways:
This Music is similar to South African Music in some ways, but is unique in it's use of Keyboard and Vocals. Again, listen to it obediently. There will be a test on it in the Future.
My Odd use of Capitalization and the Rules
Well, some of you may have noticed that I do not use proper Rules of Capitalization when I write. This has probably enraged many of you to the point of wanting to burn me at the stake. I am definitely not in favor of this, however. I actually have a reason for writing as I do . . . no I don't. I write in the manner I do for Dramatic Effect and Emphasis. It may occasionally [or always] make the Posts more difficult to read, but it does assist me in passing along the TRUE PASSION I FEEL [yawn] when I write.
The Rules of Capitalization were established over the course of History to facilitate a Language that would be more universally understood than Common Vernacular. Taking this into consideration, I decided to reject the Reasoning of History, and write however the Hell I want to. Since you cannot see my Face as I write, [luckily for you], I find that I need some way of passing along the oddities I experience while I am writing. After having tried and failed with Voodoo, Telepathy, and several other Methods too complicated to mention here, I decided to use quirky Capitalization, and "In-Text Asides" as a Method of sharing my Polluted Thoughts with you.
For those of you who actually care about Rules of Capitalization, here is a Link to a Place that I will never journey:

Satan Dies on Tax Day? - Follow Up
In a surprising move, the Interim Managing Council of Demons from Hell, has rejected noted Front Runner Richard Bruce Cheney [Dick Cheney] to replace Satan as Ruler of Hell. In spite of intense Lobbying from Officials representing the United States, the Council of Demons felt that Cheney was ". . . too Extremely Evil to be considered as a Replacement for a relatively Moderate Satan. Satan had watched Cheney's Career with Horror, and asked that he NEVER be considered for any Position of Leadership in Hell." No comment was heard from Cheney over this stunning rejection.
