HOW TO SPOT A PREDATOR

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

PREDATORS

This is how to detect a the most common human predators (i.e. the predators that feed on the lives of human beings).  Just because the predators “LOOK LIKE” human beings,  do not believe their lies and tricks!  They are NOT human beings.  They are a completely different species of creature, similar to vampires.  They have no soul, no conscience,  no ethics, no remorse.  If you encounter one of these creatures there are several actions you can take to avoid being killed and consumed by them:

1) run away  2)  avoid contact with them 3) call a pest exterminator 4) report the menace to animal control 5) move to a country that does not allow them….  ( oh, it’s too late because there are not countries that are free from them any more.)   🙁

Check out this video!  I have never ridden a skateboard, but I am a fan of the film series “Back To The Future”.  This is the film that inspired a lot of kids, including Tony Hawk, to starting riding skateboards back in the 80s.  Now, the “imaginary” Hover Board (anti-gravity skateboard) in the film has become a reality!  ( Personally, I’m still waiting to be able to buy my own Holodeck! )

ALL IS MIND

ALL IS MIND

This principle embodies the truth that “All is Mind.” It explains that THE ALL (which is the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances which we know under the terms of “The Material Universe”; the ”Phenomena of Life”; “Matter”; ”Energy”; and, in short, all that is apparent to our material senses) is SPIRIT, which in itself is UNKNOWABLE and UNDEFINABLE, but which may be considered and thought of as AN UNIVERSAL, INFINITE, LIVING MIND. It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a Mental Creation of THE ALL, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe, as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of THE ALL, in which Mind we “live and move and have our being.” This Principle, by establishing the Mental Nature of the Universe, easily explains all of the varied mental and psychic phenomena that occupy such a large portion of the public attention, and which, without such explanation, are non-understandable and defy scientific treatment.“

William Burroughs’ Thanksgiving Prayer from J. Sprig on Vimeo.

_____________________________________________________________________
TEXT:
“Thanks for the wild turkey and the passenger pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts.
Thanks for a continent to despoil and poison.
Thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger.
Thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin leaving the carcasses to rot.
Thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes.
Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until the bare lies shine through.
Thanks for the KKK.
For nigger-killin’ lawmen, feelin’ their notches.
For decent church-goin’ women, with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces.
Thanks for “Kill a Queer for Christ” stickers.
Thanks for laboratory AIDS.
Thanks for Prohibition and the war against drugs.
Thanks for a country where nobody’s allowed to mind the own business.
Thanks for a nation of finks.
Yes, thanks for all the memories—all right let’s see your arms!
You always were a headache and you always were a bore.
Thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams”.

A primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodernist author, he is considered to be “one of the most politically trenchant, culturally influential, and innovative artists of the 20th century.”[1] His influence is considered to have affected a range of popular culture as well as literature. Burroughs wrote 18 novels and novellas, six collections of short stories and four collections of essays. Five books have been published of his interviews and correspondences. He also collaborated on projects and recordings with numerous performers and musicians, and made many appearances in films.
