Well, the second person in this KGB exposure case has been poisoned with thallium, and this one didn't have the consititution of a Clydesdale and is dead. The papers point out that this Italian contact that was at the dinner where Kitvenko (spelling?) was poisoned probably didn't poison him if she were poisoned herself. I won' t say it clears her, but it certainly does make it less likely. The whole thing is like something out of Hollywood; Mission Impossible or something.

Well it's very early. I was up at a quarter to 5. I'm having memories of this store in Mansfield. I told this story a long time ago, but no one will remember it from years ago. In Mansfield where I went for some jazz training, there was this occult store named Melnibonean High Kulture. The reference is to Elric of the Stormbringer series by Michael Moorcock. The guy in there had this real long forked beard. I thought it was hilarious. This thing was just there in the town square.

I think it just goes to show that low Christianity is slipping. I think we'll go through some more cycles like what we've just been through - periods of conservatism and fundamentalism - but I think Christianity as we see it now is kind of a relic of the past. I'm not sure we're going to see anything that looks like wholesale enlightenment; I tend to think that the Gnosis comes to individuals more than large groups.

So if one of the tools of tyranny is slipping, maybe some other ones are as well. It's funny; I linked a very intelligent demonologist at LJ who I later offended with a rant against people at large that is trying to expose and fight the military-industrial complex. My methods are a little different; I'm into fighting with pneuma. I am however, largely in agreement with this guy. I just don't talk that way. Maybe I should.

So let me be a little controversial here, in honor of Sammaelhain. Now, the Democrats will pull out of Iraq in short order. What will the next unjustified and wasteful war be? Iran? Venezuela? There will be one. America isn't happy unless it's fighting a war.

That's enough for now. I'll be back in an hour or two.
