George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[zeebo]

LOL!

"Look within yourself because within each of us we have our own personal journey and our own personal answers."

Mine always seems to be "find tequila."

And see, this is why I'm not spiritually evolved and 2013 was a crap year â€" I'm a bitter, jaded person who mocks sweet, good-intentioned, peppy people like this. I end up attracting bleakness.

Next year, YES, I will leave streaks of rainbows and glitter behind me. And skip through fields of tulips. And frolic with cartoon birds. And then my life will be filled with love, light and gainful employment.

Seraphim you're one of my favorite posters, you rock, you're gonna be ok.  And finding tequila is also a good skill to have.

So, I got laid off today, so to speak, and I didn't see it coming at all. The newspaper I write for ("for which I write") is no longer going to use freelancers. I write about five stories a week for them and it's been getting me through this transition period (trying to find a FT job)

What kind of things were you writing? Local news?

Also letting people go at Christmas sucks.

I write about five stories a week for them and it's been getting me through this transition period (trying to find a FT job), so the news kind of hit me like a wrecking ball today â€" I felt like all the air had been sucked out of my lungs.

Now I'm sitting here listening to this wide-eyed, bubbly, enthusiastic lady on C2C talking about her four-day workshop with Doreen Virtue and the EVP classes she took and all the exploration she did, and she's urging everyone to just "open up to life" and think positive thoughts and have fun and "live your joy."

And I'm thinking sure, I bet it's so fun and exciting to explore your spirituality when you've got all the money in the world to hang out with Doreen Virtue and travel the world and go on shamanic journeys and blah blah blah and you're not sitting up all night worrying about how you're going to pay next month's bills.

That's why I just can't really get into what this very sweet-sounding lady is selling tonight.

If she'd been a homeless, chain-smoking, alcoholic crack whore who'd had some kind of amazing revelation, I'd have been all over it though.

2013 really kicked my ass. Woe is me.

I'll do better next year.

George just plugged his Beyond Belief show again. Bless his heart.

I really hate motherfuckers that are born on third base and think they have hit a home run.

What a great time of year for shit news. I want to go to the paper you did writing for and piss on their desks.

Well if you are in NC, you have a place to stay warm. And I think there is a place to buy tequila right down the road.

[FallenSeraph]

What kind of things were you writing? Local news?

Business stories.

I just got a gig from a magazine in Kentucky for a story on modern-day moonshiners, though. A whopping $250, but I'll take it.

And one of those tiny free mags you see in grocery stores â€" they just hired me to write a story on ultrarunning. You know, those people who run 100-mile marathons? Insane.

So it'll be OK. I'm just wigging because this daily paper was my sure-thing income source â€" I've been writing for them off and on for five years.

(Although it turned out to be not such a sure thing.)

I knew something was weird when I didn't get an invite to the holiday party.

Haha - thank you!

Bahaha - I would pay to see that. They're good people, though. They were sad when they told the writers. I think some of the honchos are worried about their own jobs. Print newspapers are a dying breed.

And thank you. If I hit the road down here in Memphis and start living in my car, maybe I'll take a deep, meaningful cross-country quest of self-discovery, sleeping in WalMart parking lots across the country. I'll holler when I get to NC. And then later, George can have me on C2C. And I'll be gritty and realistic. I'll be like, "Life is going to suck and suck often, so get yourself some good people to laugh about it with and find a vice that'll get you over the humps and just deal with it, kiddies." Then George will ask me to be a guest on Beyond Belief. And later I'll ride off into the sunset with John B. Wells on the back of his motorcycle.

And we'll all live happily ever after.

That's obviously Meryl Streep.

     Her name is Sigourney Weaver.  She use to make decent movies.

So, I got laid off today...

Sorry to hear that.  I use to work with an Iranian guy who once said "One door closes, and another..."  something or other.  I never got the rest of it because his English was horrifying.  But he was a damn good worker.  I'd trade twenty Americans for that guy.

     So Ian Wishart said there was a room at the UN called the Meditation Room, with a big slab of “iron ore” in it, and it was dedicated to "Lucifer," and I'm thinking this can't be true, and I get home and google it and damned if a there is an organization called the Lucis Trust that use to publish all UN materials, and their name use to be the Lucifer Publishing Company.  I couldn't find the connection between the "iron ore" slab in the meditation room, but it's still kind of weird.  No, it's not kind of weird; it’s friggin' crazy weird.  Here is an excerpt from their website: 

"There are comments on the World Wide Web claiming that the Lucis Trust
was once called the Lucifer Trust. Such was never the case. However, for a brief period
of two or three years in the early 1920’s, when Alice and Foster Bailey were beginning
to publish the books published under her name, they named their fledgling publishing
company “Lucifer Publishing Company”. By 1925 the name was changed to Lucis Publishing
Company and has remained so ever since.Both “Lucifer” and “Lucis” come from the same
word root, lucis being the Latin generative case meaning of light. The Baileys' reasons for
choosing the original name are not known to us, but we can only surmise that they, like the
great teacher H.P. Blavatsky, for whom they had enormous respect, sought to elicit a deeper
understanding of the sacrifice made by Lucifer. Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students
and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels,
those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet
eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical
perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather an act
of great sacrifice, as is suggested in the name “Lucifer” which means light-bearer."

Take that moonshine story, get yourself a beer or winemaking kit and create a video on how you make your own. Or do one on the moonshine story.

There's lots of things you could write about even in the days of the major newspapers all going digital.

Left you an inbox with some alternative ideas. We're pulling for you.
And NOT doing it vaguely either because you are loved here by many.
Be strong my friend.

So, in recent times we've had NDEs, Pearl Harbor in reverse, Ed Funnyman Dames, and the ersatz crashed spaceship. Think the bullshit couldn't be piled higher? Just wait for tonight when the certifiably insane George Haas tells us all over again that there's a giant parrot on Mars.

I don't have a problem with Dames, honestly, so long as they're classy and aren't too stuck up. Snobby Dames are nothing but trouble, in my opinion.

Madame Blavatsky had a mag called "Lucifer" back in the day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer_%28magazine%29

You can peruse scans of it on Google books.

The term Lucifer, while provocative, isn't as bad as it sounds. The Wikipedia page on Lucifer is fairly accurate. To quote a small passage:

"Other indications that in Christian tradition the Latin word lucifer did not carry connotations of a fallen angel are the names of Bishops Lucifer of Cagliari and Lucifer of Siena, and its use in the Easter Proclamation prayer to God regarding the paschal candle: Flammas eius lucifer matutinus inveniat: ille, inquam, lucifer, qui nescit occasum. Christus Filius tuus, qui, regressus ab inferis, humano generi serenus illuxit, et vivit et regnat in saecula saeculorum (May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever)"

Blavatsky & co. basically formed a hodge-podge of dead Gnosticism, Eastern mysticism and political ideals which verged on Fabian Socialism --- tinged with a fair amount of what some perceive as racism. It sounds a lot more sinister than it is because we're not used to the context in which these ideas arose. Basically, Europe spent hundreds of years under the command of bigoted priests, bishops and tyrannical kings, so it only stands to reason that anti-clerical and anti-monarchial groups would ally themselves with ideas contrary to the establishment, as symbols.

In the political sense, these groups led to the reassertion of old Greek and Roman styles of Government over and against the later absolutism and clericalism of Christian Europe, but in the spiritual and philosophical sense these groups propagated "speculative" Masonry, mystical Christianity, Rosicrucianism, alchemy, etc. These, too, are throw-backs to pre-Christianized European forms of religious and philosophical expression.

As for the style of the room, the Western bloc powers --- and the CIA in particular --- financially advocated and propagated non-representational forms of art to counter Soviet social realism. This is one of the reasons art took a big shit after Communism's advent, insofar as the Communists were ideologically devoted to representing actual things and situations through art --- as was done in Europe since god knows when --- and, therefore, to shit on the Communists the thinking was that Western art should counter this with an emphasis on "freedom" and the value of the artist as an individual expressing a private world, rather than the artist as subservient to state-ideology or state-culture.

So don't worry.
