Guided By Voices - The Official Ironmen Rally Song (1996)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
One of the band's catchiest and best-known tunes, produced by the Pixies' Kim Deal. The song was originally intended for a concept album called The Power of Suck, though it was included on Under the Bushes Under the Stars after that probject was scrapped. It was released as a single in late February 1996, preceding the album by about a month.

[Verse 1]
Bitter fish in crude oil sea
You don't have to bother me
You just have to join in on this song
Crawling people on your knees
Don't take this so seriously
You just have to hum it all day long

[Chorus]
To dine alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps

[Verse 2]
You won't see me turn my back
With my head against my stack
Spitting teeth and breaking open skin
Official ironmen, you are free
Champions officially
But you won't catch me on an open chin

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
To dine alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps

[Verse 3]
Knock-out punches for the freaks
Happy little babies with red cheeks
You will rock them gently out of sync
Confirmations through the wire
Spitting gas into the fire
Am I also worthy of a drink?

[Chorus]
To dine alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps

Let's talk about the Islamic structure. There is no head, in fact, that is part of it strategy. The authority is decentralized, with religious guidance provided by diverse, independent scholars, imams.
It's fair to say there are moderates, but there are a large number of extremist "imams".

Given the following, we can now answer with a better perspective.

Incompatible with American society or incompatible wth the White Christian Nationalism that the GOP seems to be espousing?

Which mosque? Which Muslims?

What are those? Below is the stance of the many extremist Muslims; it's not just an opinion, they practice it, and expect you to practice it as well.

Lets take women/females, are they equal or subservient to men? When we look around the Islamic world, what do you see, treated as equals?
Lets take other religions? When we look around the world do the Islamic countries have large populations of other religions, or just "token" membership?
Lets take slavery? When we look around the world, what countries still have slaves (sure, sure they claim they are outlawed to get UN money, but its not enforced)?
Lets take homosexuality? When we look at the Islamic world, is homosexuality in the open?
Lets take food? Is non-halal allowed in Islamic countries?

How about blocking the roads to pray?
Call to Prayer throughout the town/city??

If Christians did this, would you have a problem?

Are these American society values? I contend they are not. Is the US an Islamic nation without the religion?

How do you know the mosque being built is moderate? Or extremist? Or is it possible to be built as moderate and turn extremist?

All of these reasonable questions the West isn't talking about. As I have stated, the West needs to neuter Islam extremism.
This will be very difficult given its proposition.
Its funny for me on the outside, as Muslims are clearly as intolerant, if not demonstrably more so, than Christians, yet the Lumpers will argue for Islam and not for Christianity.
In the end this is about the Tolerance Paradox.

Gigolo Aunts - Everyone Can Fly (1999)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Turn off your mind
And go back with me to a better time
Do you see the same moon I do
When I'm thinking of you

Well that's ok
We can try again another day
Do you feel the same breeze I feel
Lifting you up
Lifting me up
Lifting us up

'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try

Turn off the lights
And don't be afraid of another night
Do the promises you couldn't keep
Make it hard for you to sleep

Well that's ok
Everybody makes the same mistakes
As the stars shine the night away
Let them lift you up
Let them lift you up
Let them lift you up

'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try

Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty '
You'd be where you are today
Isn't it funny how things change
Some things never stay the same
What a shame...

Forget the grade
I can see you turning a greener shade
Do you feel the same faith I feel
Let it lift you up
Let it lift you up
Let it lift you up

'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try
You just have to try
You just have to try
Everyone can fly
...



A song I've heard only on the local college station.

... Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty
You'd be where you are today ...

Those lyrics caught my attention at the time.

... "This is unheard of," he said. "This has never happened before. The next step is to determine if there is a single, common thread to their research that ties them to a specific aspect of national security."

Kaku is also a well known television personality. He has appeared on cable news, late night and talk shows, along with several episodes of the History Channel's "Universe" and "Ancient Aliens" series. In 2009, he began hosting a weekly television series for the Science Channel "Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible."

The most recent and prominent example of this trend is the mysterious disappearance of Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland (Ret.). He went missing from his New Mexico home on Feb. 27, bringing only a handgun and a pair of boots with him. He left his phone, keys and glasses behind,

McCasland, 68, was the former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, and reportedly possessed top secret information on UFOs.

He had ties to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the state. The lab famously developed nuclear weapons during the WWII-era Manhattan Project. It is a Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) facility and prides itself on breakthroughs in the nuclear technology space.

Two other former employees of the lab have also gone missing. ...

News of the pattern of disappearances has made its way to the White House, which addressed it on Friday.

"In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases and President Trump's commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Friday X post.

"No stone will be unturned in this effort, and the White House will provide updates when we have them." ...

The number to ID the Beast, 666, matches the name of Nero:

www.google.com

Howsomever... the only reference to that number in the bible other than Revelations, which is associated with an old King Solomon.

www.google.com

Babylon, Rome, and Hitler's Germany are considered by some to be 3 of the predicted Beast empires, with Trump's USA making a strong showing now for being the 4th:

But the term, the "Beast" is symbolic language; there's been more than one, and they symbolize leaders of certain nations.

Today's news headlines fit perfectly into the geopolitical situation we see today in the ME, and involve the same nations... and the leader of the USA is a dead ringer for ALL the descriptions of the AC, the Man of Sin; the final Beast.

Just a coincidence, though... it's only a story.
