French ban crosses

In an emergency session of Parliament yesterday the legislative body of the French Republic announced a nationwide ban on religious symbolism. “Here in this glorious land, the birthplace of Avril Lavigne, it is henceforth forbidden to display any kind of religious symbol in a public place,” said Lorellayi Cheattou, deputy minister of the interior. “No longer shall the ankh, cross, evil eye, ohm symbol, star of David, star and crescent, dharmachakra (Buddhist wheel), or praying hands be allowed to potentially offend the sensitivities of onlookers by dangling on chains or other such contraptions from the necks of peaceable people.” Civil rights groups around the world immediately condemned the new law, calling it a crime against humanity because it robs people of the freedoms of religion and expression. “Given the spate of attacks carried out recently by ardent extremists, the secular paradise that is modern France cannot afford to have anyone become excited by the sight of any symbol or symbols that could even potentially cause them to become aroused,” said AnLuise Heimer-Guizou, the sitting president’s chief of staff. “Sécurité, conformité, asservissement. Whether by bootheel or riflebutt, calm shall be enforced to give the French people the peace they want.”

#WeTakingSwaziBack

There's an ancient symbol that few people see – it is the venerable, holy swazi; it's found on this Isle of the Gods (fair Bali) but not since the 40s in far Germany. In fact that Teutonic and rational state did long ago ban forbid defenestrate the swazi regardless of which way it turned because droves of innocents long ago burned. The symbol itself though did do nothing wrong, was used by a madman to whip up his throngs – they mounted it atop their tall wooden poles under which they murdered Slavs Jews gays and Poles. Since placing my boots though upon this dark ground I have on occasion seen swazis around and realized they were not the foul racist type – instead they were beautiful; fuck all the hype. It's known as swastika or sewastikasyu; it deals with awaking clean and brand-new; here it is ubiquitous, come have a look, then read learn about it in leather-bound books. The symbol is indeed a very old one and represents the crooked rays of the sun and represents rebirth and hope that some day our different-skinned children together will play. Now take back its meaning from racists and thugs and sweep its majesty from under the rug – foul Nazis debased it and made it seem cruel but theirs was a pitiful, life-sucking rule. The swazi is revered by Hindu, Buddhist; it brings about deep calm and spiritual bliss; it's not the property of hate-spewing hacks wherefore we hereby taking our swazi back.

happy zombie-Yeshua day 2012

Many generations ago, there lived a man whose mother was a virgin. He suffered trials and tribulations; he was sacrificed in a horrible fashion; he died and was buried; and after three days of being dead, legend says that he rose back to life. His contemporaries looked upon him as the son of god, and some even saw him as god. This man's name was Osiris, and his story was told, in Egypt and across the Mediterranean, hundreds of years before common error.

On this beautiful spring day, I should like to encourage the reader to think about those things which are not often thought about, to seek truth in all matters, and to sing with me the praises of Oestre, the voluptuous fertility goddess from whom Easter gets its name (and its randy bunnies and bursting flowers). May your body be fertile, and your partner willing.
