Strange FBI doc admits alien visitors
Unlike other similar leaked documents, of which the authenticity has never been fully confirmed, this one is fully documented and revealed by the FBI.
Go to the official FBI records site FBI Records - The Vault (vault.fbi.gov); then search "ufo part 1" and click on the first doc link; scroll down to page 22 (A Memorandum of Importance; #6751; July 8, 1947); then click the full page button on the lower left corner and zoom in. The direct link is HERE if it holds, but it won't let you zoom in. I just don't want to directly link the document image here.

On a recent episode of 'Deadly Intelligence'--entitled 'The Genius Who Loved Satan'--on the Science Channel, the story of Jack Parsons was explored. The program focused on aspects of Parsons' career which other documentaries did not; his shaky relationship with the intelligence community and the fear of him as an espionage risk... mainly due to his own carelessness in these areas. His involvement with the OTO put him at odds with the scientific establishment at that time; however, this would not be the case today. Specifics regarding Parsons' ritual and sex magic were not looked into. The program did show that Jack Parsons really should have been in on the moon landing. He was a part of the acknowledged process; whatever one may think of him, he deserves at least that much.

Border Collie - Bests of Breed
thedogworldtv
Judith Gregory bought her first Border Collie more than 60 years ago, and her relationship with the breed has seen her collect 10 Breeder of the Year prizes and even winning the overall Breeders Final held at Crufts in 2010.
Owner of the Tonkory kennel name, Judith talks to Simon Baillie of dogworld.tv about the breed she has shared her life with. Hear what to expect of the breed as a puppy and as an adult, and what is required to keep one of these highly intelligent and active breed,=.

Border Collies are amazing. They're possibly the most intelligent dog, have proportionately very large hearts making them almost tireless, are restless if not working, are aggressive and intense but not vicious or mean, and display string individual personalities. They weren't bred for vanity, so it increased their abilities and intelligence; although they have become show dogs since the 90s. Rather than the "British Bulldog," it almost seems that the Border Collie should be the national mascot. They were originally from the Scottish lowlands and border area.

'Witch Heritage 101: European Aborignals or When Witch haters joke about anti-Witch films'
Trey Capnerhurst - The Abbey Still Room - March 9, 2013
I think I'll be doing my graduate work in European Aboriginal studies, since apparently, it's rumoured that they don't actually exist, or if they did, they don't now, or aren't continuous after all the Xian fundie persecutions. Thanks for proving how necessary that research is, and for giving me the idea..
This FB status of mine was universally Liked from so many of my friends, of all different heritages and faiths. It was one of my most popular ever. Yet, it was in response to one of my alleged friends who has continually seen fit to post anti-witch hate on my FB page, in a constant attempt to deny our existence, veracity, tradition, or continuation. I remain bemused why it is so important to insist that we either never existed, or were exterminated, or are a "traditional folklore monster", and that modern pagans are somehow using the term for 'shock value.' There are so many issues with this that I can't begin to deconstruct it all at once, but it is vital to defend our right to claim ourselves, and fight the dominant Christian narrative of who we are.
I've gone into some of the pathology on anti-witch bigotry and Blood Libel before, but clearly, there needs to be more said, with movies still being produced that encourage our 'hunting', called an "exciting and informative film about witches" by my totally non-hateful friend. But we're much smarter than the dolts who slurped up the anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda, and no one believes what they see on film, especially if it's about a myth, right? Yeah. Of course not. And my neighbours don't threaten to burn down my house, either, or my otherwise intelligent co-workers quietly whisper the question "Could Blair Witch actually happen?"
I feel a little helpless sometimes. When I have these discussions, I assume that my fellow debater has the basic grasp that they are living in a background radiation of the Christian narrative. When I realize that I have to drop the level to something of a first year University course, or maybe even high school, to have a reasonable exchange, I nearly despair of ever reducing the spectre of oppression and persecution. Hence, the title of this post. I will be using actual public comments as an example to counter some of the most pervasive, harmful, and just bizarrely weird myths.
Claims that still pervade the literature make it nearly impossible for us to legitimize ourselves and our heritage. Here are some comments on the latest witch hate movie, from an otherwise intelligent person.

Gisele Bündchen
In some people's estimation, "the most beautiful woman in the world," and a billionaire for her efforts. She can look glamorous at times, and just the attractive woman down the street at others; skinny, and looking somewhat volumptuous in many photographs. She is of course, married to superstar quarterback Tom Brady; himself equally "genetically good looking." I find their marriage to be much more interesting than any so-called royal wedding. Both are from working class backgrounds; Bundchen from an inter-generational German community in south Brazil, and Brady from San Mateo, California. They almost seem made for each other. Horizontina - The first settlers were German, Italian and Polish immigrants who arrived in the region in 1927, though the city was created only in 1955. Nowadays, most of the inhabitants are of German-Brazilian descent.

Manly P. Hall's reptilian wood cut
One of the wood cuts on the doors leading into Manly P. Hall's occult/wisdom library (Library of the Philosophical Research Society). Apparently much of it is based on Atlantean legends and/or history, with both reptilian and fish "being" symbolism. The eyes in the figure appear purposely slit-like aka "reptilian."

Maltese breadMaltese bread is known the world over for being among the best, if not the best bread in the world. The San Francisco Bay Area apparently has over 20,000 Maltese-Americans going back many decades, yet no bread... I've looked pretty hard too. After my parents first moved to San Francisco from Upper Michigan, they purchased a house, and their neighbors on both sides were Maltese. Years ago at traveling New Orleans cultural festival, I tried the regionally famous Sicilian/New Orleans "Muffaletta sandwich," but I don't think that I truly got the real thing. It was sub-par.. I know it must be better. These would seem to be great business ideas. The "Yooper" (Upper Michigan) "Cudighi sandsich" was brought there by Camunian immigrants long ago.. and it's NOT hard to find up there! It's very popular. Someone looking for a business idea could take numerous American regional specialties and combine them into one eatery.

I remember one time a friend showing me one of Olivia De Berardinis' art books entitled 'Let Them Eat Cheesecake' (The Art of Olivia, Vol. 1) (Hardcover; 1995), and being amazed at the detail. It's were pin-up art meets fantasy. She was also associated with Playboy magazine.

When I was a little boy, I recall being at some sports collectors event or car show--I don't recall which--at the Cow Palace in Daly City; or rather I was tagging along with someone. "Ex-Playboy centerfold" Denise Michele was signing autographs at a booth, and as a joke I was prompted by the young adults there (not my parents) to walk up and meet her. As they were perhaps poking fun at my disposition, she was really nice. She signed a black-and-white image of her face for me.. which said something about football since I was wearing a jersey. She was from Hawaii.

Immortals (2011 film)I've watched a lot of sci-fi, fantasy, and legends films in recent months. I can only review a few, since I feel the need to be too perfect. I just watched 'Immortals', a mediocre ancient-Greek gods and fantasy film which was difficult to follow. The protagonist character of Theseus and his supporting group were not very well developed. King Hyperion was shown as so evil that it would make virtually anyone look good in comparison. Also, it was never made clear why Hyperion was attacking Theseus and the village in the first place! They were apparently within his nation, he could have used at least a grain of finesse and tried to bring them into his fold and tried to recruit Theseus and all of the local warriors. Why would a nation attack itself? Maybe I missed something. It was a very violent film.
