Jim Harwood Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, W. Niederhut said: So ironic that you would mention the Jim Jones kool-aid cult in the context of smearing Donald Trump's political adversaries. Do you know anything about the psychology of cults? The truth is that cult leader Donald Trump, himself, is the Jim Jones of American political history. He has even encouraged his cult members this year to forego basic pandemic safety measures like wearing masks and social distancing, while drinking toxic kool aid-- aquarium cleaning products, bleach, etc. And, in your wing nut "history" of Kamala Harris's family, I notice that you managed to omit any substantive discussion of her mother's admirable medical career, or her father's rather distinguished career as an economist at Stanford. This pattern is all too typical of the wing nut smear tactics in modern America. You guys persistently highjack threads by focusing on irrelevant, peripheral details about your adversaries -- straining gnats-- while "swallowing the camels"of your Great Leader's historically disastrous conduct. W. cant you analyze Dane Rudhyar's career as a brainwasher? Your buddy Kirk Gallaway is said to have studied under him. is Kirk Gallaway the "ZODIAC"? Does Kirk know Colonel Michael Aquino of Presidio? C'mon W. what's the problem were you the 12th shrink on the John Hinkley MK Ultra team in Colorado in 1980/1981 ? Kirk Gallaway has been an astrologer for 40 years. He studied the humanistic approach to astrology under Dane Rudhyar, considered by many to be the most important and influential astrological writer of the 20th century. Gallaway then studied a psychological approach to chart interpretation under Richard Idemon that focused on anomalies such as singletons, chains of dispositors, and unaspected planets as a key to unlocking obscure psychological complexes. Gallaway's approach has evolved over the years to incorporate elements of Transpersonal Psychology. In recent years he has pursued studying the movement of the planets beyond Earth, their major historical conjunctions and aspects and their tie-in to historical eras and human social, political, religious, and scientific movements, wars, and watershed economic events and cycles including recession and depression. He currently lives in the mountains above Los Gatos, California. Edited October 9, 2020 by Jim Harwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are invited to do the same. I‘ll take it as a confirmation my arguments are too much for you to handle, as is the case with DiEugenio. In the late-80’s there were two publishing companies that broke the mold of collector’s trading cards, which had previously been devoted exclusively to sports figures — Eclipse Comics and Rigamor Press. Rigamor put out the first and most notorious of serial killer trading cards — “Murderers!“. In 1992 Rigamor put out a set called — “The World’s Most Hated People.” I wrote the text for that set using a variation of my “punk rock” pseudonym N. Kidd Sylene. It was a big hit in New York City — Trump made the set! Both sets were restricted to purchase by 18 and older in New York. Unfortunately the distribution network for these collector’s cards collapsed in 1994. I regard Paul as my only peer. So my question stands — what the hell have you ever achieved, Harwood?

James DiEugenio Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Jim, also this one: Varnell said that the Democratic primaries were "over" after Bernie won three. In other words, Bernie was now in. on to the convention. Geez. How anyone could think that after 2016 was simply fruity. The DNC under Perez was the anti-Bernie part of the party. And Perez was more or less appointed by Obama in order to neutralize Ellison, the Bernie guy. Well, Ellison left. And presto, the rest of the candidates drop out early and--well I don't have to tell you what happened. That was it for Bernie. So much for Varnell's sagacity in the current political sphere. About as bad as he is on JFK. Edited October 9, 2020 by James DiEugenio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other words, Bernie was now in. on to the conventon. On February 6th on the "The Most Illuminating Trump Assessment Ever. Mind Blowing Prescient" thread I wrote: Iowa was a crushing disappointment. The turnout of younger voters ticked up 3% -- we needed many times that. I despair over Bernie's prospects. On the same day I wrote on the "Mark Zaid, JFK and Trump" thread: I'm in despair over Bernie. They're not going to let him win the Presidency even if he won the Dem nomination. Two weeks before the election the Justice Department will announce a phony investigation into Bernie's wife, or Bernie himself. The choice may be democratic socialism or theocratic fascism but not enough people identify what Trump is doing as out and out fascism. We're today living under a brand new form of government. Doesn't look like that fact has sunk in... Same thread, same day: Although I hadn't made a prediction for Herr Wheeler to lay odds on, I'll offer one here: on January 20, 2021 President Mike Bloomberg and Vice President Stacey Abrams will be inaugurated. Anybody want to give me 15 to 1 I'll fade it all day long. Same thread Feb. 9: All US Prez elections are bought. I know Bernie is trying his best to overcome this, and I’d like to think he could win on a level playing field, I just doubt he’ll be *allowed* to win. Hell, the Banksters, Bible-Thumpers, and MSM CEOs wouldn’t allow Hillary, of all people. So, since the election is going to be bought by various star chambers why not have it bought by one guy so rich he is no one’s puppet? That was a big part of Trump’s initial appeal — the fiction he was this self-funding billionaire. Same thread Feb. 16: The Banksters, Bible-Thumpers and network CEOs won’t let Bernie win. Even if he wins the Dem nomination — they know how to destroy anybody. Michael Moore was on one of the cable news shows and when asked — “What are you going to say when a billion dollars in ads go out accusing Sanders of being a Communist who’s going to take your health care away?” — Moore said : “We — Bernie — will remind people of FDR.” No one under 80 actually remembers FDR. The politics of Medicare for All is toxic, if not entirely fatal. Same thread Feb. 17: When Bernie wins the Dem nomination he’ll need a mass movement in favor of Democratic Socialism which makes the other side THE issue — Trump’s theocratic fascism. Why do so many people who proudly boast of their support for Bernie and AOC never denounce Trump’s bid for Fascist Autocracy?...Oh! wait! Heard the latest on Seth Rich? I should have written "If" instead of "When". Pardon my exuberance. Bernie supporters like DiEugenio failed for 4 years to call out Trump for his fascism -- which is what a successful Bernie candidacy would have required. Same thread February 23: Bernie has the lead, the momentum, the money and the organization. Bernie is winning. People vote for winners. Ask yourself this: has there ever been an instance in modern American politics where the winner of the first 3 contests was denied the nomination? Bernie won the popular vote in Iowa, New Hampshire and a big win in Nevada yesterday. This could be over on Super Tuesday. Bernie is set to romp. Popular vote wins in the first 3 contests don’t show how strong Bernie is? Bernie practically cinched the nomination in Nevada yesterday. On the "Presidential Debates" thread on Feb. 26 My crystal ball hasn’t worked all year. I’m due. Bernie wins it all in a relative walk...hope I don’t jinx the guy! Somehow DiEugenio conflates "could be over on Super Tuesday" as flatly stating that the primaries were "over." Somehow the self-deprecating context of my speculation eluded him. Quote Geez. How anyone could think that after 2016 was simply fruity. Fruity? When a guy breaks out the homo-erotic insinuations you know his ego is wounded. Quote The DNC under Perez was the anti-Bernie part of the party. And Perez was more or less appointed by Obama in order to neutralize Ellison, the Bernie guy. Well, Ellison left. And presto, the rest of the candidates drop out early and--well I don't have to tell you what happened. That was it for Bernie. DiEugenio can't tell us what happened because he understands little about modern American politics. After Biden romped in South Carolina the money poured into is campaign while Buttigieg and Klobuchar had gone broke. Neither had made any in-roads into the black community, and so dropped out before Super Tuesday out of necessity. Quote So much for Varnell's sagacity in the current political sphere. About as bad as he is on JFK. People will have to take DiEugenio's word on that since he doesn't have the nerve to debate me on JFK.

Kirk Gallaway Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Yeah Jim, You're quite the prognosticator. I remember in early 2016, well into Bernie's campaign, Jim saying he was voting for Hilary for the primary. While I remember Cliff once said "Feel the Bern" and I felt some kinship with Cliff at the time. Of course Jim finally came over. We've talked this over before, none of us were happy with the result. But Buttigieg and Klobuchar defection to Biden made no difference at all, except marginally in 2 states. Biden beat Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts! You think they care about how Minnesota and Indiana voted? Jim still held out hope. I sympathized, but looking at the data, I said (not to Jim) "It's the defections stupid!"

Two of my favorite DiEugenio howlers were 1) his claim after the 2016 election that James Comey's re-opening of the Clinton e-mail investigation had no impact, and 2) that the "deep state" was out to prevent Trump's election. It was Comey who paved the way for Trump's victory, of course. Funny how DiEugenio has me on "ignore" yet claims to know what I write...

Kirk Gallaway Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) I remember a while back Jim twice using the word "fruity" to describe of all people, Richard Nixon! I finally concluded Jim uses the word "fruity' as the rest of us might use the word "nutty". I guess you could say, Jim's an "LFer" heh heh Re the primary: What can you say, the Northeast ended up abandoning their native sons and daughters and went back to provincial.
