Why charm

BLM WHM SMN SCH THF RNG BRD MNK WAR DRK PLD > 99

At some point we are all going to realize what a boon it was to have our current president.  It will either come when we see that Hillary hides away from the press or when Bernie begins to wonder why people are disrespecting his wife or when Trump starts to invoke the Patriot Act on Bill Maher's show or when Cruz starts legalizing Spanish law.  We are going to wonder why it is that Bush and Reagan and Obama were SO much better at being President than these guys.  

It has a lot to do with presentation.  I have said it before that a President's job is to "enchant people with reality" and I still hold to that.  We have proven that you can take a junior senator with few friends in Congress and make him into a great leader and by the same token I have faith that whoever is elected, he can't screw it up that much because he frankly doesn't have that much power.  

And yet, I believe if he is not able to inspire the people, like Obama does with every speech he makes now, or like George W Bush(great speeches) was able to do or like Reagan and Clinton, then we will have a very different country.  I just saw Obama's speech from Saturday to a group of British college kids and it was Q and A and he was brilliant. (I can hardly imagine anyone having his wisdom at fielding questions from students.)

At this point, my first choice to rule the country would be Joel Osteen and then Tom Cruise or better maybe have Tom as first choice because there is always something TOO righteous about preachers yeah?  It's like they want you to believe they understand everything right up until they point out that YOU masturbate... ha ha, then you squirm around wondering "how did I end up HERE?"  That's faith too, sure, but to have faith in the country, you will need someone that understands the BLOOD, as well as the body.  But even MORE than that you will need a GREAT presenter.  Someone that inspires others through hard work but also through charm.   

You ever notice how many great actors become great actors, right after working with Tom Cruise?  Bunches. 

I was once told by a supporter of Sarah Silverman that I was perhaps too fanatic about her.  Lessee, what were the words?  Oh, I was telling her that I loved seeing her in everything she did or something like that and this person tweeted "yes, you love her WORK and you are APPRECIATIVE" or some nonsense like that that basically told me like Michele Monaghan told Sam Jones in his interview "That's right, MAN".   Or like Erin Burnett does when a guy goes and says something off putting and then she shuts him down with a SIR or something... ouch.  It was a way of souring my charm into something everyone could understand.  But you know what?  I can sour my OWN milk thank you very much and if there is one reason I like SarahK is NOT because of her great butt, NOT her great comedy, not her KEEN wit or amazing basketball skills or prodigious jew jugs... and certainly not because I am getting paid; the reason that I like SarahK is because I am charmed by her.  

See that?  Charm.  Same goes for Alex, I love you... no not really.  Wait!  Take your shirt off, ok yep, not really. (joking) 

Charm is close to a voodoo spell.  I basically love putting on Sarah's show because she has achieved charm.  That's a very hard thing to do.  I don't like comedy frankly and I sat through all of Schumer's stuff (nice movie) and can barely stand it; and watching GUYS do comedy is the very definition of hell.  It's terrible.  And yet somehow I love Bill Maher.  And I love Rachel... (as before... if you are trying to arrest me for my crazy comments then immediately grab yourself a portion of petroleum jelly)   

You see, people love people sure but if you start to follow someone around, you are a follower.  Yet, this has the strange connotation of making you a STALKER right?  

I was having a discussion recently about the differences of tempation and testing.  We were discussing how you get thrown out of Eden.  It happens because you were tempted and yet by accepting the tempation of Satan and failing God's test, didn't God basically tempt you to leave Eden?  

Remember, to be confused is the goal.  If you understand everything, life is easy for you... just attack what you want... you are also quite insane. 

Charm is achieved when you DON'T tempt people.   When you have gone about your daily life making comedy or taking pictures of your non-naked butt doing things and put yourself out there to be worshipped, without asking for it, the people that follow you are charmed.  You are just another god-fearing, well-meaning, nail-clipping, perhaps non-smoking person that people now want to follow around and compare themselves to.  And why not?  I just got finished saying that we are all masters and slaves and what could be better than to pick out our own master and try to be like them.  

That's why charm is so necessary and why it is so rare.  People that want to be great leaders have to do TWO things, first, earn a lot of money which means that a whole lot of people trust you.  Second, have the skills to be charming.  Our president needs to be charming and the first step in being charming is to have a healthy respect for yourself.  You have to be overly ambitious.  Obama achieved that and so did Cruz perhaps.  Every time I see Cruz, I see an Obama waiting to happen but there are too many things off about him.  I would mention them but they are not things he could change so I won't.  Young senators have the drive necessary to survive a long campaign and why shouldn't it be long, eventually we want these people out there every day telling us which way we are all headed.  

I don't like the idea of someone buying the election and to the extent that people are treating Trump unfairly, I hope he can see that he is an unfair person to run against.  Everyone else is putting their butt out there in public whereas he is basically someone in charge, whether or he becomes President or not.  His being President is like having a king in Britain.  The point is not that royalty gets to point at people with their middle finger with the Patriot Act(though you would hope that this "royal" has training in how to be royal), the point is that THIS person should be the max.  NOONE should be richer than the King.  He is the line in the sand.  He is the reality check for people in charge.  The people on his payroll earn what PEOPLE should earn.  The profit he makes is what people should expect.  He should be the standard.  People that are richer than the king have more power than the king.  His influence in congress might be greater, his ability to fungus the water might be better, he might even be able to afford a larger police or cartel military force than an actual city.  

Hi Mexico! 

This is why there needs to be a standard.  And this "figurative king" must also be public.  Because if there is someone that has MORE power than the President whose in charge of keeping us safe... are we REALLY safe?  And that's why Britain has a king.  People understand that if there is one great monarch or rich person or elite person that is of "those we don't speak of" or from the MAFIA... that that person should be well-known and should be in the public eye, and should be... hateable.  

Why hateable you wonder?  Well just think what happens now with Obama.  Do we blame him for Benghazi?  Do we blame Bush for Iraq?  Do we blame Reagan for Iran-Contra?  Do we blame Clinton for porn and gay people?  Whatever we decide, it's necessary that we be able to speak of our hate, and for our leader to be hateable.  If we can't hate our leader, we start to hate, what...  our police, our judges, our media, our CIA maybe, our neighborhood watch volunteers, our neighbors?  It's just a matter of time before this hate manifests itself into something irrational.  So that's why our leader has to "take a hit for the team" as Tom Cruise said in that one movie.  He has to own it, so people can feel that someone still has control of the country.  If you go OFF-mission, there is no mission because there is no team.  

So to keep the country together the most important thing we will need from our leader is charm.  He will have to earn it and then he will have to keep it.  Oh and he needs to have a bunch of FU money also because the truth is people attack leaders.  If you follow William Shatner's twitter it gets pretty boring sometimes but at least you can see the reality of what it's like to be famous and trying to fight off people that don't think you are too funny.  I am guilty perhaps of wanting him to be more like Captain Kirk even though he is just an actor and is guilty, like all actors, of having a totally different and more selfish attitude in real life.  It's like Gillian Anderson.  She is a beautiful if unrealistic doctor/FBI agent in X-Files, but should I expect her to be lifelong paladin who remains single and fights the good fight vs criminals everywhere in real life and triesto act only THOSE roles where she is the good guy?  See?  It's hard to be charming but if you take the time to get to know those people, over time you can see their good will and hopefully that is enough.  

You know I even had good feelings for Brent Spiner.  At first, I immediately started treating him like Data on Twitter and later I realized that quoting Data stuff gets old when you are trying to get NEW roles.  My mistake.  I have the entire TNG collection and even though everyone supposedly liked Picard or Riker the best, it was really his portrayal of Data that won me over in the end.  He was the charming part of Picard, like Spock was charming part of Kirk.  Did anyone really like Kirk?  We sure liked it when he kicked butt though didn't we?  That's why people don't like me I think.  I am the Kirk part of me and my best friend who is the Spock part.  And now it's just Kirk and Kirk isn't very likeable without Spock, perhaps.  

Yeah so getting back to Trump, (he getting ready to pick his Spock yet?), I think we can all see that what we want from our new President as opposed to Obama is a whole lot of people getting fired.  Snowden found such and such about the NSA... people need to be fired.  Healthcare.gov doesn't work... people need to be fired.  Benghazi problems and we don't know who to blame and here comes Hillary people to "explain" things... people need to be fired.  Guy likes to make fun of my wife throwing her weight around... knowing I gotta tag that in like an hour thirty... FIRED!  

Many reasons we like Trump but what I want most from him is for him to be as skilled as Obama is at speeches and as wise as he is about reality.  But I don't expect he is AT ALL skilled at reality really.  I just saw a nasty VICE program about his involvement with the Saudi city Dubai and I don't think his view of unskilled workers is one that I agree with to be honest but it did re-inforce my belief that we must dominate this planet FIRST, we must dominate Israel FIRST, dominate Mexico FIRST, dominate the muslims FIRST, dominate his staff and his people FIRST, before we can institute the reforms needed in minimum wage, rent control, climate change and population control and in abortion.  

Cruel to be kind... 

What?  Am I not charming?  

You don't think that, after we got finished dominating the planet and gave Trump all that power (like the Patriot Act), that he would just selfishly KEEP it do you? 



Would Joel Osteen keep it?  Would Tom Cruise?  Oh you get it now!

PS. Would Oprah keep it?  Bwahaha, just had to throw that in there.

His purpose

BLM WHM SMN SCH THF RNG BRD MNK WAR DRK PLD > 99

As I told you earlier that Good Friday is the Apocalypse, let me tell you now what the Resurrection is.  Let me tell you what Easter is.  Now, because there is no way that the police can lie, I know the government of the world continues without fail.  I can still drive around expecting to be pulled over by someone honest.  I can still CALL the police to a crime scene and expect the cop to NOT lazily blame ME for the crime... which would save him and his a whole lot of work.  Because the cops are honest I can expect to provide evidence for safekeeping, knowing that said evidence will not be copied or replaced or doctored.  Strange word that one right, doctored.  It's strange but when something is doctored it means it was LIED about.  It's not so strange to me, though.  

Ok sidetracked,  so we take ourselves back to a time when Jesus knows he is going to die and the Jews are set on capturing him and Judas tries to soothe Jesus about his "worries" that people will betray him.  Jesus is a genius you see.  Because he had no father, because his mother kept secret who his true father was, for some time perhaps, because his father Joseph was caring for him ALL THOSE YEARS, and he wasn't even his father, Jesus was able to understand love in a totally different way than everyone else.  He understood it without being addicted to it.  It was like a half-love where he feels it but at the same time, it doesn't feel unconditional.  It was like being MEG from Family Guy.  Yep, she's gonna be Jesus folks, just wait. 

So soon after people start to "love" him but really only like him because he is good-looking and because he has these amazing skills and intellect and maybe large size, he realizes that people "worship" him.  It's not love but it's "worship".  So at that point he dives into religion wondering what his purpose will be.   

"Son, you are here for a reason." his father tells him perhaps, which is the same thing the pseudo-father tells Clark in Superman. It's probably not very far fetched to wonder if the creator of Superman was thinking of Jesus as he divined it's creation.  So Jesus in his half-baked theory of the old testament realizes that what the Bible teaches is that humanity has "Exoduses" or battles and he begins to predict the next great battle, and this one will involve him because he has some grasp that we all have FATE, but also have free will, and that only men can determine your fate, if you don't have the strength to determine it for yourself.  He realizes... that God is the people... and that he must change the people.  

This is easier than it looks since people are naturally good-willed.  At least they are naturally good-willed if they have enough to eat for them and their children.  In fact, that's why rich people get often get away with being rich.  Their children need college, they need healthcare, they got a crippled leg, rest assured if you see a crippled child somewhere, evil parents are somewhere nearby like in Iron Man 3 where the VP betrays the whole country. 
Or if you need another fantastic movie to watch, watch Nicholas Cage in Bad Lieutenant.  He gets told by his "doctored" doctor that he will now have backpain forever and suddenly this hole of pain, this singularity, makes him become INCREDIBLY evil, but funny too and successful, yes, but we at least can all see how ridiculously LUCKY he gets too.  

Necromancers man, I tell ya.  Find one and you've probably saved 100 lives.  

Ok so back to Jesus.  Here he goes again right?  He is now off to be good-looking in public probably reading straight out of the Bible verses that he has memorized and understanding things in the way only a shepherd can.  

Remember that there are only three kinds of people: shepherds wolves and sheep.  

Wolves are like zombies are like vampires are like bears are like tigers are like whatever you wanna call them but the most common and defining characteristic about all of those is that they attack first... and that they like it... and that they can't help themselves perhaps because they are addicted.  Ok so that's three so maybe I can't count.  

The difference between shepherds and sheep is that the shepherds have more attack strength than sheep. They might even be the same animal as wolves but because they are not wild, they can stop themselves.  They are weaker because they only attack to defend but this could just mean more stored up energy.  Now this next part is the turning point for most people in their lives, especially Christians, because they get corralled by their preacher into believing that there is no evil out there or that everyone deserves a chance or like Patch Adams that we should rid ourselves of fear... right up until someone violent sneaks in and re-awakens you to it.  

Do you remember Eden?  You should.  Eden is that place that "state of mind" that existed before Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge.  You see once you know evil exists, you can't go back into Eden.  You can never forget what you know.  You can never forget the knowledge.  That's why trusting people, like Patch Adams taught, is fraught with danger because they might tell you things and you might think "it's ok they're nice" but later on you might wonder why these nice people are destroying your property and why you can't call the police, which is because this secret, this "trust" is now something that binds you both to hell or at least out of Eden.  

So you see, the only sheep are the people that don't know there is evil and it's a beautiful thing to see someone like this.  You could call them unicorns because people good and half-bad want to be around them like they want to be around children, because it reminds them of a time when they didn't know of evil.  

But make no mistake, once you KNOW about evil, about malevolence and addiction, you are either a shepherd or a wolf, you can never choose to be sheep again(like I am doing) and most wolves and other shepherds will instantly recognize you and wonder which side or "how strong" you are because if you are unnaturally strong... you're a wolf.  

Oh right, Jesus, heh heh, penal code.  Well, Jesus' code was to get to the cross someday, not because he "gave up" and "boo hoo, whoa is me, the stresses of life" but because he believed in his Destiny.  Maybe he was like Rico from Starship Troopers, where Ratchek tells him "you're it until you're dead or I find someone better". Maybe people need a Jesus and we might as well have one than not have one.  Or maybe people worshipped him too much and now he was addicted to it.  If so, I can see that. (Jesus!! Stop! No! You doing TOO MUCH Karaoke!) But moreover he probably didn't expect betrayal.  He expected society to come apart slowly and yet if times were wild back then, it might have been a common thing to get crucified... I dunno.  

Ok so to end this let's fast forward to the day of the cross.  Remember?  He is asking the people to worship him again.  They refuse.  He cries out for justice.  It doesn't come.  He serves himself up perhaps a virgin himself, as sacrifice to appease the hunger of an angry God that didn't appreciate Jesus stirring up the people to rebel against the Roman army. 

What happens next?  His body gets robbed.  Yep.  Because just as he was arrested for no reason, so would his existence now be lied about.  Do you see it now?  Government lies to the people = people lie to the government.  And what's even more conspicuous is the nature of the government.  As they become more corrupt, more people offer themselves as sacrifices.  And as more people FUEL the hunger of the people not in government, the government becomes more disgusted with the "criminals" that continue to LIE to them.  

So there you go.  Are you happy now?  You now know good and evil.  You can never be sheep again.  You can either join the government and heal them from their lying or you can start to lie TO the government and fast-forward the apocalypse.  

In retrospect I wonder at it, whether if it is even possible to slow the apocalypse or even to do it right the next time.  People are so lazy, I know because I am exceedingly lazy.  It takes me back to the movie Serenity.  I used to believe that if I could hide myself in FFXI, and if I could get everyone to hide themselves there, we could end crime.  Black people, illegal aliens, drug-dealers, criminals ALL people could just sit down, do these few quests and be contented for the day and then be free to sleep eat play FFXI  repeat and essentially do nothing with their lives until we started to limit population growth and maybe clean the planet.  But it's futile.  The more PAX people have, the more they "come to Jesus" and turn the other cheek, the more they drown out their sorrows at the bar or with psychotropic drugs... the more peaceful they become, the more REAVERS appear.  

That's all there is in this world is masters and slaves.  It's best we get used to it.  It's Binary or some version of it.  So what is God's purpose you wonder.  Well, that depends on the people... and what do the people think?  Well that depends on the preacher that feeds them, it depends on their master, and hopefully, this master... has had some training.   

PS. OMG my taxes!!!
