Who is Saturn?

Who is Saturn? A You Tube video called "666 - The Cult of Saturn" displays challenging images in an eye-opening - no pun intended - one hour! It's well-done and worth your time. The video examines Baphomet, Ninurta, Ishtar and their many names across cultures and the symbols that adorn all major religions. Hexagrams and 666's are found everywhere and the video provides a well-crafted argument that the "Christ" images in Christianity are none other than Ninurta or Saturn - which is another name for Satan. Some other observations made in video: Saturn is the sixth planet and Saturday the sixth day of the week. A Hexagram represents Saturn, has a six-sided star, six triangles and a six-pointed polygon in it. Biggest revelations are, perhaps, Voyager images of the north and south poles of Saturn. North Pole of Saturn has an amazing hexagon (hexagram) pattern. South Pole appears to be hurricane-like vortex that resembles the "all seeing eye" of Horus from back of dollar bill and Freemasonry. A viewer comes away with the impression that there has got to be more to this relationship with Saturn - since symbols used by religions for centuries, seem aware of aspects of Saturn only recently discovered? This video will raise your occult IQ in just one hour!

hyperactive brains = dehumanization?

This video leaves little doubt where many cases of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) originate and it's yet another reason to turn off the television. The disorder isn't as grave as it sounds, it reflects passivity of viewers who lose degree of concentration and ability to track from long hours in front of TV. Viewers become scanners and slowly lose ability to absorb meaning into memory. This affliction shouldn't be underestimated however, as it can prove difficult to refocus and regain lost ability! Does ADD represent subtle degree of zombification and dehumanization? The resemblance of mice in video to people encountered in daily life is shocking! The present writer suspects it affects people of all ages to some degree - not just the very young! Thanks goes to Vigilant Citizen for the link!

Idle Musings on Weaponized Cancer

Memorial for former Penn St. coach Joe Paterno took place Thursday in State College, PA as 12,000 mourners attended service. An observation begs consideration if only a note in entire sequence of events. Penn St. Board of Trustees announce firing of Paterno on November 8th. In only a matter of days, public informed Paterno has a "treatable form of lung cancer." Fans sing "Happy Birthday" outside Paterno home on December 21st for Paterno's 85th birthday. Paterno passes away on January 22, 2012 just two months after his "treatable form" of cancer announced. Lee Harvey Oswald assassin Jack Ruby believed he had been injected with live cancer cells, "it is widely known that Ruby believed injections he was being given, were cancer cells. He truly believed he was being murdered in this most unusual manner."

The present writer remembers Ruby's statement, puzzled and astonished, unable to fit into any existing logical assessment pushed it out of mind. There lurks suspicion because this form of murder falls outside the box, most people are unable to properly consider it. Two books, "Dr Mary's Monkey" by Ed Haslam and "Me & Lee" by Judyth Vary Baker, will convince readers weaponized cancer was developed in an underground New Orleans lab in the summer of 1963. Jack Ruby visited the lab even at the time - small world! What is to prevent those in power today to send the order - down the pyramid - to silence a possible leak in a raging pedophile scandal? Is it so outlandish?

will multiple nukes in US cities lead to armageddon?

Most Americans remain - willfully ignorant - as George Carlin once phrased it to dangers on their own soil! Paul McGuire convinced America will witness evil, writes article, "Multiple Nukes Going Off In US Cities." McGuire compares miniscule Hiroshima bomb to a 25 Megaton or even a Megaton bomb. The writer implies this may be on agenda towards a One World Government (New World Order).  Grants Pass, OR, projected also as a safe refuge in a post-Apocalypse period by News With Views.com website, which hosts the McGuire article. Portland, OR (pictured) turns up repeatedly as a favored target on the other hand, as only intermediate-sized city to draw attention as a subject.  A bizarre 2009 fictional slideshow, Operation Black Jack lists Portland as well as a research report, "The Day After" (pdf), sponsored by Harvard and Stanford Universities. McGuire is guided prophetically in his writing and believes a conflict looms on horizon of Armageddon proportions!

demons in the academy

from invocatio: A couple of months ago, the American Academy of Religion (AAR) held its annual conference. This is like the Oscars of the academic world if you are a religion scholar, and it is a week of non-stop lectures, idea-sharing, and I presume getting totally tanked and running amok in hotel hallways. But since I’ve never gone, don’t take my word on this. A really important session on Western Esotericism was organized by Sasha Chaitow and Phoenix Rising Academy called Demons in the Academy. The panel consisted of intellectual heavyweights from the field of Western Esotericism and addressed some of the issues those working in the area face, such as methodological concerns and how to define a discipline that seems to draw from just about everywhere. Watch presentations from Demons in the Academy here.

Death of an Occult Crime Expert Reawakens Controversy

from religiondispatches.org: On Saturday, retired police officer Donald “Don” Rimer, 65, died from complications arising from a stroke. Rimer graduated from police academy top of his class. He served the Virginia Beach police department for 34 years during which he received the department’s medal of merit and was inducted into the city’s hall of fame. He was also an active member of his Methodist church as well as a loving husband, father, and grandfather. However, what Rimer will most be remembered for is his career as an expert on so-called “occult crime.”

Rimer became interested in this field in the late 1980s at the height of the Satanic Panic phenomenon. Banking on his credentials as a police officer, Rimer held seminars for law enforcement on criminal activity allegedly associated with Goth and vampire culture, heavy metal music, role-playing games, Wicca, Afro-Atlantic religions, and Satanism. These groups, he argued, represented a palpable and growing danger.

In 2009, following the murder of Billie Lee Black in Hampton Roads, Virginia, Rimer suggested to reporters that Black had been killed at the request of his 16-year-old daughter for “trying to intervene in her new Twilight, vampire behavior.”

Sensationalist claims earned Rimer serious contempt from Pagan groups and even a few academics, who called him a charlatan and a fear-monger. His seminars on occult crime continued to focus suspicion and enmity on minority religions, kindling the embers of Satanic Panic. Rimer responded to his critics by claiming his contacts included the more benevolent Wiccans, self-identified vampires, and even Satanists. He also insisted that the danger posed by occult crime was real and that he was one of the few people qualified to combat it.

author plans to build temples for atheists

from dezeen.com: Author Alain de Botton has announced a bold new plan for a series of Temples for Atheists to be built around the UK. ‘Why should religious people have the most beautiful buildings in the land?’ he asks. ‘It’s time atheists had their own versions of the great churches and cathedrals’. Alain de Botton has laid out his plans in a new book, Religion for Atheists, which argues that atheists should copy the major religions and put up a network of new architectural masterpieces in the form of temples. ‘As religions have always known, a beautiful building is an indispensable part of getting your message across. Books alone won’t do it.’ De Botton argues that you definitely don’t need a god or gods to justify a temple. ‘You can build a temple to anything that’s positive and good. That could mean: a temple to love, friendship, calm or perspective.’

before joe paterno's death, a premature report

Early report of Joe Paterno's death leads to apologies*

from latimes: Media organizations and an interested public sat on edge Saturday afternoon, knowing grim news could come at any moment. Just before 6 p.m. PST, it did. Onward State, a student news site at Penn State, tweeted that according to its sources legendary former Nittany Lions football coach Joe Paterno had died at 85. The news was jarring but not unexpected. Paterno had learned he had lung cancer in November shortly after being fired from his post in the wake of an explosive sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. And, a few hours before Onward State's report, just before 3 p.m. Saturday, a newspaper in northeastern Pennsylvania had reported that Paterno had fallen gravely ill and that family and close friends had been summoned to say their final goodbyes. Onward State's report went viral and some media organizations, including CBSSports.com, went with the story. But it wasn't true.

georgia guidestones and 2012

A startling context fits Georgia Guidestones into much broader spiritual framework, provided by Rich Anders in article, "Investigating the Georgia Guide Stones." This broader view incorporates timeless elements and ancient megaliths, makes Anders writing of interest. The Georgia Guidestones were built with same purpose of 50,000 similar structures across the Northern Hemisphere. Anders believes agents are ancient Egyptian gods (serpent clan), who attempt to influence an imminent "change of worlds" to occur December 21, 2012. The writer implies nature of the next change, "according to the Maya it’s the turn of the present world to be destroyed by fire and the date is December 21st, 2012."

2012, a planet up for grabs

The realities of our world are often stranger than fiction.  Rich Anders writes every 3,500 years there's an opportunity for change.  In his 2010 article, "2012 A Planet Up For Grabs," Anders shares his alternative views on reality. Anders sets foundation by informing us "universe is primarily a spiritual structure".

"The universe is a threefold structure: A world is the sum total of all the spiritual situations on a planet, which determines what life is like. Electromagnetic energy permeates everything: from the location of cosmic bodies: orbits, rings of matter to regulating important body functions. A planet is the physical base for worlds. It is the material plane where life is lived."

why the illuminati expose the conspiracy

Henry Makow provides a scoop on Illuminati ambitions in a henrymakow.com article, "They want your soul." It isn't enough, writes Makow, to take "your children, your spouse, your property, and your freedom...They want the ultimate prize." Makow uses the 1997 movie "Devil's Advocate" to make his points. The Devil (Al Pacino) advises: "'I only set the stage, free will, you pull your own strings!'" The Illuminati have a high stakes bet with God that they can win us over to Lucifer - but we must go by choice, so we are given free will.

Makow believes that's the reason the conspiracy is exposed. We can't say, "we didn't know," if it's put right in front of us! "Anyone can see that no planes hit the Pentagon or crashed at Shanksville [on 9/11]. They want us to compromise ourselves by accepting these stories and abandoning the victims. Thus we become accomplices in their crimes," writes Makow. Haven't you wondered why so many coverups, seem so poorly executed? You dismiss it as poor planning or unexpected obstacles. It may have entered your mind it's intentionally done to taunt as if to say, "what are you going to do about it?" This is the point Makow makes, if you don't do anything, your acquiescence proves tantamount to complicity! Makow believes the answer is simply to say no to forfeiting your soul or acting as an accomplice to your own destruction! A simple prescription to live by - but temptations are ever present!

scientology: secrets of the super power building

from villagevoice.com: ​The Voice has obtained hundreds of new renderings of Scientology's Super Power Building in Clearwater, Florida, as well as a comprehensive collection of its architectural drawings... A few renderings of Scientology's expensive new "mecca" were published as long ago as 2007, but that release, and a few since, have included only a few images of how the building's interiors will look once it is finished. This new leak of material to the Voice is much more comprehensive, and includes detailed information down to the building's fasteners, fixtures, and signage, not to mention its major architectural schematics.

Lawyer Challenges Catholics to Open Secret Archives for Abuse Truth

from prnewswire.com: A leading 'abuse case' lawyer is challenging the Catholic Church to open its secret archives of documents for independent examination in order to discover the truth about child abuse by its priests.

Richard Scorer, a Partner and specialist in child abuse cases at Manchester law firm Pannone, says, "Every Catholic diocese has a secret archive which is kept locked and has in it secret documents. In the words of the Code of Canon Law, these documents are to be 'protected most securely' and contain, 'matters of morals' and 'criminal cases'. Only the bishop is allowed to possess the key and the archive is only to be opened in a case of 'true necessity'. It is my feeling and that of many of my legal peers that this moment of necessity is here."

Says Mr Scorer, "It is like something from a Dan Brown novel, but this is not the Da Vinci Code, it is the Code of Canon Law and it has a bearing on the lives of hundreds probably even thousands of people. In every one of those archives there will be evidence of past scandals, if the Catholic Church really wants to help those children its priest's may have abused in the past, it should open up its secret archives to independent investigation now and cleanse itself of its culture of denial and cover-up."

Canon 489 of the current code of Canon law provides: "There is also to be a secret archive, or at least in the ordinary archive there is to be a safe or cabinet, which is securely closed and bolted and which cannot be removed. In this archive documents which are to be kept under secrecy are to be most carefully guarded."

Canon law forbids any documents to be removed from the secret archive under any circumstances and only the bishop is permitted to have the key thereto. Accordingly, as only the bishop will know what is in the secret archive, it is obviously unsatisfactory for anyone else to make the disclosure statement.

Among the documents which must be kept in the secret archive for varying periods of time are:

• Documents from historic criminal cases (i.e. within Canon law) concerning matters of a moral nature
• Documentary proof of canonical warnings or corrections when someone has been about to commit an offence, or is suspected of having committed one, or has been guilty of scandalous behaviour
• Documents relating to preliminary investigations for a penal process that was closed without a formal trial
• Documents relating to any other matters the bishop considers secret.

Belgian Officials Search Bishops' Offices in Abuse Inquiry

from nytimes.com: The Belgian authorities searched the offices of bishops in three cities on Monday, removing documents as part of an investigation into child sexual abuse that has plunged the country’s Roman Catholic church into crisis. The raids took place in Antwerp, the eastern city of Hasselt, and Mechelen, where, in 2010, investigators drilled into a crypt in the quest for evidence.

The Syracuse.com article words title a little stronger, "Bernie Fine's fourth accuser, Floyd Van Hooser, recants 'I told a lot of lies.'" Readers should watch latest Van Hooser interview from Clinton Correctional Center further down page to get full story. There appears to be semantics as to what's really recanted?

the number 13 and 2012

Here is one more bad portent for year 2012. A Newser article, "Friday the 13th to Occur 3 Times, 13 Weeks Apart", tells us all we need to know. A pagan bookstore owner warns in article, "'...[who] calls the fears a 'self-fulfilling prophecy.' There is 'strong power in people convincing themselves something unlucky will happen,' he says." It can be self-fulfilling, but there are also those who live by the numbers!

Occultists consider the number 13 divine for a couple of reasons, according to a Bibliotecapleyades.net entry, "1. The Bible assigns '13' the meaning of 'rebellion against constituted authority', plus the depravity that caused Satan to rebel against God. 2. The occultist assigns '6' to represent the number of man, and the number '7' to represent the number of divine perfection. Thus, as a person climbs that "Jacob's Ladder" toward self-perfection in the realm of the occult, the number '13' represents the state of divine perfection, self-achieved perfection, and Illumination (6+7 = 13)." It's one more concern for the apocalyptic year of 2012!

Paterno: 'Nobody Knew About It'

Mail Online reports Joe Paterno said, "'in hindsight, I wish I had done more,'" in a Saturday Washington Post interview of the former head coach.

Paterno sounding a bit too innocent when he remarked: "'you know it wasn’t like it was something everybody in the building knew about... Nobody knew about it.'" Local broadcaster Mark Madden provided in April best analysis of Penn St. scandal in little noticed article, and finally, brought well-deserved media attention to scandal in a November interview.

why friday the 13th is unlucky

Why is Friday the 13th considered so unlucky? The present writer assumed it dated to the arrests of Jacques De Molay and the Knights Templar on Oct. 13, 1307. A closer look at folklore leaves doubt to its origins in article by David Emery, "Why Friday the 13th Is Unlucky". In an excerpt from "Tales of the Knights Templar," Katherine Kurtz recaps arrests of the Knights Templar: "On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templars — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices.

Madsen Investigates Santorum Ties To Penn State Scandal

Wayne Madsen reveals his belief on a recent Alex Jones show (6:30 mark) that where there's smoke "there's fire there!" Madsen suggests a link between Santorum and Jerry Sandusky. The prolific journalist points to clusters of people with similar proclivities who may have connections. Madsen informs us that Santorum and Phil English started Penn St College Republicans in 1977, the same year Jerry Sandusky founded The Second Mile Charity. English was arrested in the 80's for soliciting sex from a young black man, reports Madsen. The writer goes on to remind listeners that the local broadcaster who broke the Penn State scandal alleged that boys at Second Mile were being pimped out to wealthy clients. Madsen finally adds that at one point, Santorum gave Sandusky "an angel award" for his adoptions.

'frozen dead guy days', a festival in colorado, stays put

from nytimes.com: It was probably not, in the end, an idea with huge franchise potential or a killer smartphone app in its future. After all, a gleefully macabre weekend celebration built around a frozen corpse - complete with coffin races, tours of the shed where the body is kept on ice and, of course, lots of beer - just might not be as fun beyond the skewed sensibility of Colorado’s hippie-tinged mountain belt.

But now it’s official: Frozen Dead Guy Days are staying put in the small town of Nederland, about an hour northwest of Denver, as are the mortal remains of one Bredo Morstoel, a Norwegian man whose strange and unlikely saga in death — and long-term storage — inspired the whole thing.

The Nederland Area Chamber of Commerce put the rights to the festival up for sale last June, saying it could no longer manage Frozen Dead Guy Days, which had grown rapidly through 10 years of icy, late-winter mayhem and was attracting upward of 20,000 revelers over the course of a weekend in a community of about 1,500.

A former event manager at the chamber, Amanda MacDonald, 39, bought the rights and said in an interview that she planned to keep things mostly the way they were, if not quite frozen in place.

nigerian witch hunter bringing 'gospel of hate' to US

from iheu.org: In March, Nigeria's notorious witch hunter, Helen Ukpabio, is organising a “Deliverance Session” in the United States, according to information posted on the web site of the Liberty Gospel Church. The event is slated for March 14-25 at Liberty Gospel Church in Houston, Texas. The program is said to be “12 days of battling with the spirit for freedom.”... Helen Ukpabio is a Christian fundamentalist and a Biblical literalist. She uses her sermons, teachings and prophetic declarations to incite hatred, intolerance and persecution of alleged witches and wizards. Ukpabio claims to be an ex-witch, initiated while she was a member of another local church, the Brotherhood of Cross and Star. She later founded the Liberty Gospel Church to fulfill her 'anointed mission' of delivering people from witchcraft attack. Ukpabio organizes deliverance sessions where she identifies and exorcizes people, mainly children, of witchcraft. Headquartered in Calabar in Southern Nigeria, the Liberty Gospel Church has grown to be a witch hunting church with branches in Nigeria and overseas. Helen Ukpabio’s gospel of hate -- promoted through her publications, films (like the End of the Wicked) and sermons -- fuels witchcraft accusations against children in the region. The witch hunts in Nigeria and other parts of Africa in recent years have resulted in discrimination, violence, torture and death. This was captured in a documentary, Saving Africa's Witch Children which was broadcast in 2008 on Channel 4 in the UK and in 2010 on HBO in the USA

aquarius - the age of evil

Theosophists believe a spiritual change will accompany the passing of the Age of Pisces and the dawn of the Age of Aquarius. In the theosophical view, Jesus Christ is associated with the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius will similarly be associated with the Maitreya. Keith Thompson, a reformed Christian apologist, produced a wonderful documentary, "Aquarius - The Age Of Evil," providing a near complete primer on the New Age movement and its spiritual influence, today. The documentary points out the movement got its name due to this changing of ages from Theosophy. Film is highly informative and does impressive job, making the "New Age" easy to understand. The early traditionally recognized leaders as Madame Blavatsky, Alice A Bailey and Annie Besant are covered. Blavatsky influenced Besant. A glimpse into movement can be gained by reading about Jiddu Krishnamurti, groomed for a time by Besant and colleague C. W. Leadbeater as a vehicle for the coming Maitreya.

Loki, Hermes, Puck, or...Q: An opinion piece by Zach Bosart

from http://5thaeon.com/2012/01/09/loki-hermes-puck-and-q-or-how-god-serves-a-purpose-though-hes-dangerous-and-really-annoying-at-times/:

( This is a compilation of excerpts from the main article.)

“Does that bother anyone here? The idea that GOD might be fucking with our heads?” God: “We’ll see who believes in me now! Ha-ha, I’m a prankster God! I am killing me!” Jesus: “They missed the whole point dad, let me bury dinosaur fossils with you. Let’s just fuck with them.” -Bill Hicks

A trickster is usually a character in mythology who delights in leading astray or confusing those of sufficiently less intellect than him (or her) self for no other reason than to watch them squirm in the uncomfortable moment when they begin to question their preconceived notions of reality, delighting that this interaction shall ultimately lead the hapless fool to learn something profound and complete whatever journey they were on.

A trickster is usually a character that does not act within the more commonly held rules and regulation. It is in this way that the trickster character is able to enact a great change in the plot of a story by influencing major characters into behaving in a certain way, so that all parties are satisfied in the end result. Sometimes, when all parties are not satisfied, the trickster is punished extremely though it’s aims are still moderately successful.

Another “tool of the trade” is in convincing people that they are their own worst enemy. The trickster will try to blame you at every turn, but will take it further in getting you to blame yourself. I suspect this was the initial inspiration for the “Joker” likeness painted over Obama’s face in various posters on the west and east coasts during 2009, as the sentiment was one of self-blame of the species for the sake of a “Green” environmentalist movement that resembled eugenics than it did love and hope and respect.

There are no political solutions, only magical and technological ones. The rest is just a trick. A magic trick, but a trick all the same. Performed by a trickster, with all the suave personality of a devil who convinces you that he is your friend. So it is with a certain ease that I feel I can safely make the statement on my behalf, that there are no political solutions, only magical ones. Granted, from a slightly jilted and ‘insane’ point of view.

Instead of gathering money for court fees and lawyers and paying your work staff for their time (an archaic practice if there ever was one), gather money to feed and transport people to Washington DC in massive numbers. And I mean Massive Numbers. Capital “M” and “N”. I’m talking about tens, if not hundreds of millions.

Then it’s quite simple. A silent demonstration. No one speak, no sound. All holding up signs that say very simply,

“We are the American People, and we DO NOT approve.”

race questions cloud lawsuit over jewish cemetery

from ctpost.com: Juliet Steer was dying of cancer when she chose her final resting place in the woods of southeastern Connecticut. She picked the plot in an interfaith section of a Jewish cemetery in Colchester because it was peaceful, her brother said, and she died at age 47 in 2010. But that peace has been broken by a lawsuit seeking to have her remains exhumed and moved because Steer was not Jewish. The dispute over Steer, who was black, escalated recently with allegations of racism against the plaintiff and of retaliation against her by fellow congregation members.

missouri public library blocks websites about ‘occult’ spirituality

from raw story: The Salem Public Library in Missouri along with its board of trustees face a lawsuit for blocking access to websites discussing indigenous American spirituality and the Wiccan faith.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Eastern Missouri filed the lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of Salem resident Anaka Hunter, who was unable to access websites pertaining to the religions for her own research.

Hunter brought the blocked websites to the attention of Salem Library Director Glenda Wofford, but Wofford responded there was nothing she could do about the websites, which were blocked by the library’s filtering system. Wofford said she would only allow access to blocked sites if she felt patrons had a legitimate reason to view the content and further said that she had an “obligation” to call the “proper authorities” to report people who wanted to view the sites, according to the lawsuit.

“It’s unbelievable that I should have to justify why I want to access completely harmless websites on the Internet simply because they discuss a minority viewpoint,” Hunter said. “It’s wrong and demeaning to deny access to this kind of information.”

Why not get into an apocalyptic mood - after all, it's 2012? Paul McGuire, an author and producer, who lives in Los Angeles, shares aspects of his own spiritual journey in article, "Totalitarian State Mind Control Wars: Part I". "This war is not a new war; it is a mind control war that goes back to ancient Babylon and the secret occult religions. The primary military theatre of this war is in the human mind," begins McGuire, "...most people do not understand the Luciferian and spiritual dimension of this warfare that was planned centuries ago." The author see links in Marx and Engels "Communist Manifesto" and even America's public education movement of the early 20th century to subversive intent of ruling elite, whose "...endgame is a microchipped planet of slaves who will serve the Illuminati elite".

in new year's message, scientology insider blasts 'extreme' fundraising

from tampabay.com: The new year brought a big surprise for the Church of Scientology: One of its most respected and widely known figures went public in dramatic fashion, calling for internal reforms and decrying heavy-handed fundraising practices she says have allowed the church to amass reserves of more than $1 billion. With an email blast to thousands of current and former Scientologists late Saturday, Debra J. Cook quickly emerged from a quiet private life in San Antonio, Texas. Her message contained a bombshell of a letter urging parishioners to start pushing back against the church's aggressive money demands. Cook was a prominent figure in the church's Clearwater operation for 17 years.

File-Sharing is Now an Official Religion in Sweden

from geekosystem.com: The Missionary Church of Kopimism, or in layman’s terms, the Church of File-Sharing, was founded in 2010 by Isak Gerson, a philosophy student with a love of file-sharing that, well, bordered on religious. Now, after years of petitioning the Swedish government for official status, he finally got it. The idea was that through official religion, file-sharers might be able to find protection from persecution for their beliefs, which obviously include illegal file-sharing. But it wasn’t just a bid for some kind of technical protection, as Gerson seems to take this whole religion thing kind of seriously.

Gerson put it this way in a interview with TorrentFreak:

“I think that more people will have the courage to step out as Kopimists. Maybe not in the public, but at least to their close ones. There’s still a legal stigma around copying for many. A lot of people still worry about going to jail when copying and remixing. I hope in the name of Kopimi that this will change.”

Despite this official endorsement by the government of Sweden, file-sharing is still not legal, and is only questionably protected by the newly founded faith. Then again, considering the prevalence of the Sweden-based Pirate Party that even managed to win a seat in government of Berlin, Sweden is probably one of the best places for Kopimists to be.

Membership is booming too, skyrocketing from 1,000 to 3,000 in the past half a year, with many more that will likely join following official recognition. Gerson welcomes the attention, the new members, and the publicity, using it to encourage sharing on the whole.

“We confessional Kopimists have not only depended on each other in this struggle, but on everyone who is copying information. To everyone with an internet connection: Keep copying. Maintain hardline Kopimi.”

new year, new apocalypse: is 2012 the end of the world as we know it?

from thejakartaglobe.com: The last New Year’s Day in human history has come and gone. You may not believe so, but millions do. They’re convinced that ancient Maya priests calculated Dec. 21, 2012, as the end of the world as we know it. These claims and warnings, prognostications and reassurances are on bookstore shelves, on Web sites, in museum exhibits and in tourist promotions. The global doomsday industry even has a name — 2012ology.
