Emil Cioran 8 April 1911 – 20 June 1995) was a Romanian philosopher and essayist, who published works in both Romanian and French. Cioran was born in Resinár (Rășinari), Szeben County, which was part of Austria-Hungary at the time. His work has been noted for its pervasive philosophical pessimism, and frequently engaged with issues of suffering, decay, and nihilism. Among his best known works are On the Heights of Despair (1934) and The Trouble with Being Born (1973). Cioran’s first French book, A Short History of Decay, was awarded the prestigious Rivarol Prize in 1950. The Latin Quarter of Paris was his permanent residence and he lived much of his life in isolation with his partner Simone Boué.  (Wikipedia.org)

A RIDE HOME

Many people devote many lifetimes on Earth searching for ways to escape from Earth or to transcend the reality of the physical universe.  There are a thousand names for “heaven” but there is apparently no proven path to get there… perhaps it’s not a destination?
Or, maybe each Being is already “home” and “heaven” is a state of being we create and perceive for ourselves….

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

“The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” – William Colby, former CIA director

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” – William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting, 1981)

“Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State.” – James Angleton, head of CIA counter intelligence from 1954-1974

“I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.” – Harry S. Truman

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” – J. Edgar Hoover, ex-FBI director on the New World Order conspiracy

“If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts.” – George H. W. Bush  (helped assassinate JFK)

” I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.” – John F. Kennedy

“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in  America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is  not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did,  you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid  weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected  with. Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things,  and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions  would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my  honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four  hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to  destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at  the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily  bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an  independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the  scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance.  Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of  other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” – John Swinton, former New York Times Chief of Staff
