BATALAN

PAHABOL for the day...

Saw these links about the Tagalog word "BATALAN" after tried to search via "Batalanes Morga"... (BatalanES is singular I think even in Spanish... I thought it is plural)

http://pinoypsp.com/index.php?topic=195093.75;wap2

http://tbag.sulit.com.ph/forum/viewtopic.php?p=589650

These are exchanges by Pinoys discussing things NATIVE... In the first link, it is correctly stated that the BATALAN is some sort of a WASHING area with a big jar TAPAYAN (=BURNAY?). There is another term BANGGERAHAN which refers to where plates, spoons, kitchen utensils are stored... Just go now to my aku-si-jamaal BLOG where I shall post images of the BATALAN...

Monday, Sept.29
@Home

TENTATIVELY tomorrow is EID 'UL FITR (as per ASTRONOMICAL COMPUTATIONS)
But it might be celebrated on OCT. 1. WHENEVER is the case:

==============
TO ALL MUSLIMS:
SALAMAT HARI RAYA EID UL FITR!!!!!!!
EID ML FITR MUBARAK!!!!!!!
MALIGAYANG PAGTATAPOS NG RAMADHAN...
==============

This is supposed to be just a "maintenance" post... I went over my whole BLOG & saw all the mistakes... errors (Oh, I have to start writing about T-ERRORISM.) in grammar... Somebody who speaks English might still be puzzled by my own NUSANTARAn English... HEY! There are many kinds of English - American English is NOT THE SAME as Australian or British English! Not to speak of Billiard English...

Watched some SATTV shows: (The OLD MEL GIBSON FILM on PRE-COLUMBIAN AMERICA is titled "APOCALYPTO")... Watched BABYLON, ANDROMEDA STRAIN 2, BOURNE IDENTITY & ULTIMATUM... Wanted to watch LAWRENCE OF ARABIA...

Another case of COINCIDENCE:
Had the SATTV open while doing something on my computer at the same time (TRYING TO DO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY! - A BAD PRACTICE). At the same time I was thinking about what my mother related to me a long,long time ago: that I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ABORTED (= another semi-OCCULT PERSONAL STORY). [She had ALREADY COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN about it and claimed there was no such thing. But I reminded her about her own account: that incident in the OLONGAPO PUBLIC MARKET & her trip to ALITAGTAG, BATANGAS for MAY FIESTA etc... But she had COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN about her own story she related to me more than once before... SO in this case, I, a 2nd-HAND (WITNESS/HEARSAY) ACCOUNT, am more RELIABLE than my mother who is the 1st-hand ACCOUNT!... (Now I'm getting interested about the legal bases of witness accounts, rules on evidence, including ISLAAMic versions...) Shall relate about this story later either here or in my aku-si-jamaal BLOG...] I was asking her about this aborted possible abortion/baby-murder in the past (1960) when AT THAT VERY MOMENT the SATTV which was set to CH STAR TV was showing a scene in "THE FORGOTTEN" where the mother or her companion was SHOUTING to the ALIEN about what he had done to the CHILDREN! What struck me as quite CLOSE (near-miss) is my inquiring about my ABORTED ABORTION & the THEME of the movie about CHILDREN being used/abused... The movie was almost at the end - wherein the mother found her young son... Am quite familiar with news reports about human disappearances especially children... WHAT is the TRUTH about such DISAPPEARANCES?... Is this a case of COINCIDENCE?
(Not very convincing maybe? but still in the REALM of MEANING there is something to it..).

The movie BABYLON is worth commenting on...

PPP

@Home

Last few days of RAMADHAN...

PPP = Presidential Polls & Poundstone

William Poundstone is an American writer writing in the tradition of Martin Gardner & other popular writers who try to express using their pen very important facts, philosophical questions & issues & mathematical/scientific truths (usually presented via puzzles, riddles, jokes or stories) for the general public... They make extremely STIMULATING & MIND-STRETCHING reading... Check write-ups in the WEB e.g. WIKI...

I am (re)reading his LABYRINTHS OF REASON... His other books seem truly interesting & I urge everyone including CONSTHEOrists to read them :
- his SECRETS books
- FORTUNE's FORMULA (2005)
- GAMING THE VOTE: WHY ELECTIONS AREN'T FAIR (2008)

In this last NEW book, Poundstone writes about ARROW's PARADOX, an idea in Mathematical Economics that has devastating implications for one of the most cherished institutions of so called democrazies: the VOTING SYSTEM... Just search about this especially in the WIKI or other academic sites. I had read about this a long, long time ago in the SCIAM & Gardner's MATHEMATICAL GAMES column... It's not really the fundamental reason why I NEVER VOTE (Actually, I stopped voting even since Marcos time...)... I wonder how many human beings know about the paradox... How many U.S. presidential polls enthusiasts or Philippine 2010 polls presidentiables...

Though I have not yet read the book (It is NOT available in UP, ATENEO or DE LA SALLE libs), I STRONGLY URGE eggheads (?!) to obtain & read it. Gardner's & Arrow's own comments at the back of the backcover is shown. I STOLE* it from AMAZON.COM...


One link:

*to BORROW without asking permission from its owner but without presenting it as one's own. (This last act of claiming credit is called in the academe "PLAGIARIZING"...) N.B. to STOLE is NOT to STEAL!!! Shall comment on INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS & related concepts later...

@Home

Am sick... Again because of AIR-CONDITIONING inside a MASJID while joining TARAWIH prayers...
Might not be able to join JUMU'AH... My condition improves after taking rest/long sleep... WEAK LUNGS!

Am reading FEDOR JAGOR's TRAVEL IN THE PHILIPPINES published in 1965 by the FILIPINIANA BOOK GUILD, a book club founded by some of the BIGSHOTS in this country... It was published first in BERLIN in the 1870's...

In CHAPTER III, Jagor describes the houses, garb etc of the native Manilans. About the houses. Jagor has this to say & I quote,

"NEARLY ALL THE HOUSES AS WELL AS THE HUTS OF THE NATIVES ARE FURNISHED WITH AN AZOTEA, THAT IS AN UNCOVERED SPACE, ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE DWELLING, WHICH TAKES THE PLACE OF YARD AND BALCONY. THE SPANIARDS APPEAR TO HAVE COPIED THIS USEFUL CONTRIVANCE FROM THE MOORS, BUT THE NATIVES WERE ACQUAINTED WITH THEM BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPEANS, FOR MORGA MENTIONS SIMILAR BATALANES. IN THE SUBURBS NEARLY EVERY HUT STANDS IN ITS OWN GARDEN." pp. 17-18

Important words: "AZOTEA" & "BATALANES"

AZOTEA is simply a balcony normally fronting a two-story house & usually with railing of masonry or metalwork. BATALANES plural of BATALAN can no longer be seen in the houses of the natives. BUT I shall post some pictures in my http://aku-si-jamaal.blogspot.com showing such BATALANs in the houses in BATANGAS. This BATALAN is EXTREMELY INTERESTING regarding its ORIGINS & PURPOSE...

Further on JAGOR describes the natives dressing style... Women wear SAYA with TAPIS; HAT, TROUSERS & SHIRT for the POORER men... ECONOMIC CLASS could be distinguished from the style of dressing... Mentions of the MESTIZOS (HALF-BREEDS)...

LAROUCHE

Monday Sept. 22 10:41 P.M.
@Home

Larouche had predicted the financial crisis years before & had been expounding about this in his website... Am not sure but there was a certain Deepak Chopra author who I think was also writing about something similar(?). Larouche is a CONSTHEOrist with strong background in Marxism & was a chessplayer (I think I read an account of his in which he claimed he could play BLINDFOLD CHESS!). See, do not take a mere board game for granted!

The following GRAPH is used by his adherents in explaining the collapse... Read his articles in larouchepub.com.


Also read the article "NOOSPHERE VS. BLOGOSPHERE: IS THE DEVIL IN YOUR LAPTOP" which displays an organizational chart or map showing alleged British conspiracy links... If one wants to "explain" say the PHILIPPINE setting/context, then one has to have an accurate map of the POWER PLAYERS in this country... The map should show who controls who/what - the Phil. MEDIA GMA7, CH2, CH5 etc etc, the Water & Electric Utilities, the Fuel & Rice Cartels, the Grocery & Retail Trade Cartels etc etc the Central Bank, the Ayala elite Makati Business Club, Chinese Taipans, National & Local Governments, the Police, the Military including the Criminal Syndicates, Jueteng & Drug Lords, the Clerical Groups (religious orders, cults) including the MN/MILF-ASG, CPP-NPA-NDF, the NGO's & cause-oriented groups, the private armies - we have at least four armies: Phil. Army, NPA, BMA, CPLA, etc etc etc I wonder if any serious researcher has come up with this concept map of Philippine Power Players...

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Lyndon Larouche will hold an international WEBCAST on OCTOBER 01, 2008 from Washington D.C. ALL CONSTHEOrists watch this!!!
Check details at EIR homepage

www.larouchepub.com

PAKISTAN BOMBING...
Again MEDIA reports "SUICIDE BOMBING" but why the whole hotel Marriott is burning with no gaping hole in the building??? Also shown is a CRATER in the ground... There was a constheo article about BALI bombing which claimed it was an aerial bomb (MINI-NUKE or NEUTRON)... Does a truck fully laden will bomb create a crater? or will the bomb create a lateral/horizonal destruction pattern??? Ask the EXPERTS...

Larouche articles:
-"Will Washington allow Zardari's Political Survival?" (ON PAKISTAN STATE OF THE MOMENT)
U.S. landed troops inside Pakistan on Sept. 3 without Pakistan's permission!!! An INVASION a la IRAQ!!!
-"Putin was Right: He Acted to Prevent WWIII" (ON GEORGIA vs. RUSSIA CONFLICT)
-Larouche claims OBAMA is a puppet of SOROS!!! My goodness, choose OBAMA or MCCAIN & you get the SAME!!! THIS IS PRECISELY ONE OF THE CLAIMS IN CONSTHEO - "THEY" CONTROL BOTH SIDES & LET THE STOOP MASSES CHOOSE EITHER!!!!!!!

To those unfamiliar with my postings at the old LUWARAN...
LAROUCHE is one of my important sources of INFORMATION. He is a patriotic AMERICAN and virulently ANTI-BRITISH & claims there is a conflict between the two groups who are BOTH WHITEs! So to NON-whites, how do you know if the American you're dealing with is actually a Britisher masquerading or that the Briton your sister married is actually an American???!!!

Also: GMANEWS.TV BLOG of CONDE & read about the HATRED & BILE (If these are real, then MOROs have no choice but PEACE thru INDEPENDENCE!!!

SYNCH

FREEDAY, SEPT. 19
No, SAT already 12:02 A.M.

Tha past few days I intended to talk about the ff.:
- an unfortunate incident at GMA7 MRT station connected with my fasting during RAMADHAN But I've changed my mind. I should not dwell on negativities...

SAWM (Fasting) may be interpreted theologically/religiously/spiritually, or practically/medically, or scientifically etc. etc. It is also a form of training to instill DISICIPLINE & SELF-CONTROL

But the best pambuka or FAST BREAK (not as in basketball but the sense of "breakfast" in the morning) in the order of good-better-best:
1 - LABAN (YOGHURT) & TAMR (DATES) [For ARABS & Mid-Easteners] BEST
2 - MILK & FRESH FRUIT [For any region]
3 - BUKO JUICE + YOUNG COCONUT MEAT [For NUSANTARANS]

Of course, the simplest is H20 (water) & any foodstuff even NaCl (salt) or sugar. Thinking of eating during fasting period! But this is less worse than those who fast in the day & then feast at night like in KSA. (They just turn night into day & day into night!) One SHOULD lose weight during this month...

SYNCHRONICITY or COINCIDENCE
Sunday Sept 14 My mother was watching CH2 Korina Sanchez on TV while I was scanning a page of Martin Gardner's book AMBIDEXTROUS UNIVERSE [Gardner was actually my "idol" or model & I finished an A.B. PHILOSOPHY to imitate him (& not Dr. Emanuel Lasker, the world chess champion)... As I was turning to page no. 28-29 which had a large image of the names "TIMOTHY" & "REBECCA" (Figure 14 of Gardners' book published by PENGUIN BOOKS, 2nd Ed. 1982) Just at that very/EXACT moment when I saw the name-words, Sanchez was mentioning on TV the name "REBECCA". She was discussing the case of a child actress named REBECCA Lusterio in her program...

CHANCE or COINCIDENCE?

I noted the time at around 7:07 P.M.

I forgot to post this but ONE DAY (am not exactly SURE) before the comedienne ZORAYDA SANCHEZ died, I had seen & NOTED that name ZORAYDA in the book of Wheatcroft (or another author) & thought about her!!!

CHANCE or CHOICE? - X-OR (Exclusive OR)

Wed. Sept 17?
As chore break, I opened the SATTELTV to check on what's showing on HBO, CINEMAX & STAR TV: THE WITCHES (HBO), THE VICTORS (Cinemax) & a film on AMERICAN CIVIL WAR (STAR TV) THE VICTORS began with a scene showing two soldiers guarding their outpost while their area was under intense aerial bombardment by Nazis AT THAT VERY MOMENT, a HUEY helicpter passed by overhead! I notice that our area is along the flight path of military helicopters... I assume there exists a dedicated path for air vehicles flying over the metropolis... Is it bec. my late uncle was a PAF? or bec. I graduated from the ATENEO whose ROTC is Air Force (La Salle is Naval ROTC)... or bec. of the Defensors...???

ALSO; Is it COINCIDENTAL that while one film is showing troopers,another film is also showing troops though in another scene from this other movie (THE VICTORS = troops in ITALY? while STAR TV UNION troops

TO a CONSTHEOrist this is not COINCIDENCE, NOT CHAnce BUT CHOice!

3 MAPS:

The CRUSADES covered several theatres though not all at the same time:
the IBERIAN peninsula (SPAIN & PORTUGAL vs. the MOORs
which is directly related to the MINDANAW MORO PROBLEM),
the Eastern theatre at the LEVANT (MIDDLE EAST) & the BALKANS
(TODAY's YUGOSLAVIA,KOSOVO, CROATIA, SERBIA...)
The MUSLIMs pincer thrusts were stopped by CHARLES MARTEL
(Hmmm... Moros, remember PAF Major? or Col.? EduardoMARTELino
who allegedly was a BALIK-ISLAAM?!)
at the Battle of Poitiers somewhere in France and also at Vienna, Austria...
If these did not happen, then EUROPE would be MUSLIM territory now!!!
Just as I BELIEVE, if PORTUGAL & SPAIN did not arrive in 1511 (Malaccca) & 1521 (Cebu)
then the WHOLE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO would be MUSLIM today!
And, I AVER, even the island of FORMOSA/TAIWAN and even Southern JAPAN!!!
YES, dear readers, if the EUROPEANS did not arrive in the 16th Century

Some images I "STOLE" from the Internet & I forgot the sources...
CONSTHEO sites usually mention the Freemasons, Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, etc etc etc BUT I am wondering about the GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD - Are they ALL WHITES? Which WHITE: Blonde Scandinavians, Redhead Britishers, Black-Haired Mediterraneans (YES, Arabs, Pakistanis, Iranians, Italians are all WHITES!), & can our ANAK-ARAWS (Albinos from other races) be members??? I really believe RACE/SKIN COLOR is a fundamental factor in the global plans of the powers-that-be...

That the U.S.A. was created by the Freemasons is without doubt true

The TRIANGLE allegedly is a basic Masonic symbol

I do not know if all these are true/real but I'm impressed by charts, concept-maps, diagrams...

911 (Nine Eleven or Nine One One)

Sept 10, 2008
12:00 Midnight
@Home

My mother & brother decided to buy a new REF to replace our ELECTRIC GUZZLER & it will be delivered on 911...

Sept 11, 2001 some 7 years ago... I was already a MUSLIM then...

CONSTHEOrists should by now understand the reason for the number...
But HONESTLY I still am not SURE about it... ANYWAY, the WIKIPEDIA gives a 1-page list of significant events that have occurred under this date beginning year 9 (A.D. or B.C.?) I believe the following are connected to WTC from MY OWN POINT OF VIEW - I mean these are "leads" for me PERSONALLY, I would consider these as probable precedents...

STOLEN* from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11
I have not removed the links...

1922 - The British Mandate of Palestine begins.
1956 - People to People International is founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
1961 - Formation of the World Wildlife Fund.
1973 - A CIA backed coup in Chile headed by General Augusto Pinochet topples the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. Pinochet remains in power for almost 17 years.
1978 - U.S. President Jimmy Carter, President Sadat of Egypt, and Prime Minister Begin of Israel met at Camp David and agreed on a framework for peace between Israel and Egypt and a comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
1990 - U.S. President George H. W. Bush delivers a nationally televised speech in which he threatens the use of force to remove Iraqi soldiers from Kuwait, which Iraq had recently invaded. He mentions the term "New World Order" in this speech for the first time, which is also named "Towards a New World Order".
1998 - Opening ceremony for the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Malaysia was the first Asian country to host the games.
1917 - Ferdinand Marcos, 10^th President of the Philippines (d. 1989) BIRTHDAY
1965 - Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria BIRTHDAY
1948 - Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan (b. 1876) DEATHDAY
1973 - Salvador Allende, President of Chile (b. 1908) DEATHDAY

In my case I would try to find connections between these dates & WTC 911...

I remember having heard that Sept 11 has something to do with the founding of ISRAEL but WIKIPEDIA does not list this - it gives the British Mandate of PALESTINE... Is this equivalent to the founding of ISRAEL?

*"to STOLE" is to borrow an image or text without asking permission for use in your own website... The word is MY NEOLOGISM and IS NOT the past tense of "to STEAL"... STEALING is UNETHICAL & is punishable by LAW, STOLING is as ETHICAL & as punishable as BUSH's actions under INTERNATIONAL LAW HAR HAR DE HAR!!!!!!!

SHORT BOOK

Tuesday, September 09
@Home

Just finished reading
Vartan Gregorian ISLAM: A MOSAIC, NOT A MONOLITH
Washington DC: Brookings Institution Press
2003

UP ECONOMICS LIB
DDS 35.77 G74

Gregorian is an Armenian (Christian?) from Tabriz, Iran who is/was president of Carnegie Corp., Brown University, NY Public Library & dean of FAS U. of Penn.

It is a very thin book that can be finished by a fast reader in one sitting. The author presents a balanced overview of ISLAAM & its relation to world affairs presenting it as a system though mentioning the varieties of MUSLIM interpretations... It laments widespread U.S. ignorance of not only MUSLIMS but also the variety of world cultures (Stoop...Americans would categorize Gregorian as an Arab Terrorist iwth his looks & beard HAR!!) & tries to promote dialogues among cultures & mutual understanding.

I'm surprised I am only its 3rd borrower though it is more than 1 year old already... I think it is not that very few are interested about current issues but that few are really reading books nowadays... The power of mass stoopidification...

Some highlights from book:
- borrows the term for Pan-Islaamic movements = "Green Menace"
- distinguishes ISLAAMISTs from other ISLAAMIC groups (e.g. 1979 IRAN REVOLUTION by ISLAAMISTs)
- internal struggle between modernists & traditionalists
-it was Spanish & VENETIAN forces which defeated the OTTOMAN TURKS in the BATTLE OF LEPANTO (Ask University Belt students what they know about Lepanto - where it is located & they wouldn't
answer it is off GREECE HAR HAR!)
- the GOLDEN AGE OF ISLAAMic civilization occurred under the ABBASSID CALIPHATE (750-1258)
(some 500 years)
- mentions details like Arabic origin of some English words al-kuhl, al-jabr, al-kemia
- quotes many MUSLIM thinkers & leaders reaction to WTC 911 like KHAMENEI, KHATAMI, FADLALLAH, TANTAWI,YASSIN, AMRMOUSSA, BELKEZIZ, etc
- mentions that in 1965, the Vatican recognized for the first time MUSLIMS as part of "God's salvation plan" ( I DIDN'T KNOW THIS.)
- mentions Amartya Sen's disagreement with Huntington's "Clash of Civilization"
-etcetcetc

Some quotes:
- "ISLAAM, like other religions, cannot be categorized or stereotyped because it is brimming with nuances, exceptions, divisions, contreadictions, and ambiguities."
- "...every religion asserts its own uniqueness & claims of absolute truth & even superiotrity"
- the role of a university... has always been to provide a forum for the free & open discussion of ideas & precepts
( U.S. Supreme Court in 1967 called the classroom "the marketplace of ideas")

A very informative book given its mere 150 pages.

I'm returning it today so you can ask somebody to borrow it.

911 is a coming...

Some POSTINGS I failed to post on time

FREEDAY, SEPT 05

I heard/saw/read somewhere
that indeed FRIDAY means FREEDAY!

Opened TV for morning news... GMA7 featured SMARTEST ANIMALS - ZOOLOGY showing two intelligent beasts - DOLPHINS & ELEPHANTS A guest animal trainer said according to scientists some of the most intelligent animals are RATS (metacognition) & CROWS (tool-using). There was a brown-white rat named GENSAN raising the Philippine Flag (something to do with
Mindanaw? [An MNLF told me a long, long time ago that INDONESIA considered Mindanaw as its 27/28th PROVINCE! Small wonder Philippine Star cartoon shows MIndanaw map & Burning Kubo... WHY is GMA not attending UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY in NY? A political move?]

I have always considered rats & mice as extremely intelligent animals. I have read that they survived extermination by HUMANs because they lived close to them/him! So to survive, live as
close as possible to your enemy! I call this the MOUSE STRATEGY. There is even one excellently written science fiction short story which concludes in a very surprising end: the crafty enemy of man turned out to be the rodent!

More about ANIMALS: the MEDIA again shows demonstrations by pro-animal activists: anti-JAPAN killing of DOLPHINS & they show BUTANDINGS in LAMON BAY... My QUESTION: are the animal activists really concerned about ANIMALS or are they only using the animal issue for something POLITICAL? Like the anti-JAPANese would definitely support anti-dolphin killing & whaling for the Japanese go ocean-hopping/fishing for these. I remember one HOLLYWOOD show which showed a man wearing "NUKE THE WHALES" shirt HAR!
AND about TREES/BOTANY there is now the BAMBI HARPER & MANILA CATHEDRAL INTRAMUROS TREES ISSUE... WHICH is more important BOTANY/ZOOLOGY or JURISPRUDENCE/POLITICS?

Some apparently worthwhile movies around 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon Saw on CH9 George Clooney in IRAQ, another apparently related to MUSLIMs Are these channels (HBO, CINEMAX, STAR, HALLMARK etc) programming their shows to cater to MUSLIMS who most likely would be watching TV on RAMADHAN afternoons.

They are showing on SATTELTV "PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY" about the story of the PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC) - that ubiquitious machine used by billions of people nowadays & taken for granted by almost everyone... The movie is about the story of Steven Jobs (APPLE), Wozniak, including Bill Gates (MS/DOS), & other Steves & Bills... Those hippie-looking, long-haired BEARDED creative thinker-dropouts from Berkeley, Harvard etc who started the PC REVOLUTION while circumventing the CORPORATE WORLD of BUSINESSMEN those conformist beings with their clean-cut looks, shaved & short hair-cuts & neckties & all... Icons like the ALTAIR computer, APPLE II, the style of dressing, the background pop music, roller-skating (no rollerblades then), other historic icons/markers of that period are quite accurate (A song: "EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD"...) When one hears this, one is reminded of that era/time - Of course younger generations have no or another "meaning" to associate with such sounds & sights...

JOBS = led to many jobs via the computer... CHA or CHO, I mean his family name???

The movie ended with Bill Gates buying the APPLE company. Gates simply buys out the opposition - including FOXPRO's Dr. W. Kennamer whom I admired...

I remember in the late 70's & early '80s when I took additional short term computer courses on ASSEMBLY language programming (IBM 360) to complement my FORTRAN language in UP undegrad ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING course. Most of my close-associates in UP became full-fledged programmers, engineers, professors with U.S.-PhDs (My joke: they are now all DOCTORS while I ended up as QUACK DOCTOR/HERBOLARIO (dalam Bahasa: BOMOH)!) CHAnce or CHOice? One can simply reduce my case to that of one lazy, weak-willed tropical-dweller... BUT If one believes in something beyond MATTER, then one can say my life's course was WILLED by something higher than me... I may not have become a successful VICE-PRESIDENT for EDP/MIS OPERATIONS of a big-time company or govt agency but I personally realized that HUMAN PROGRAMMING PREDATED MACHINE PROGRAMMING BY at least 1 MILLENIUM... REMEMBER: I am A SELF-APPOINTED FOUNDING FATHER OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES IN THIS PHILIPPINESIA.

I was supposed to embark on a career as COMPUTER PROGRAMMER. I worked for the Philippine government (both national & local) in starting positions doing actually SYSTEMS ANALYSIS & PROGRAMMING though without the proper/corresponding working item/position & salary!!! (This is one problem with 3rd World countries where ENGINEERS work as TECHNICIANS, DOCTORS as NURSES etc etc!) I knew that I was just at the starting point & I passed the exam of the National Computer Center/Institute for further training so that I could get an official COMPUTER PROGRAMMER designation by passing its training course & national board test. SO working on weekdays & studying on week-ends for career advancement... I do not know but the FRUSTRATIONS - working long distance waking up early & going home late the tiring travel (I TRULY UNDERSTAND HOW HELPFUL THE MRT HAS/HAD BEEN TO WORKERS IN the METROPOLIS!) for a measly salary compounded by my weak will & lack of competitive urge (no actual CAREER PLANS in Life!) led me to GIVING UP that I.T. CAREER... I gave it up - just let the whole thing go comparable to releasing one's grasp on a rope while on a hanging position... I became a MUSLIM/reverted to ISLAAM while still working for the govt. though I DID NOT really PUBLICLY DECLARE (as in FLOUT my OLD religion) my CONVERSION (PROPERLY: REVERSION). In fact I hid it which was a mistake...
Stories about My Life later in my other blogs...

Evening, Sept. 6
Partly-watched a Mel Gibson film about South American Indians or is it Mayans/Aztecs/Incans??? Included human sacrifice during a solar eclipse but I did not get its title. It has something to do with PRE-COLUMBIAN AMERICA. The natives were shown killing each other & at the end when the protagonist was about to be caught, a new group appeared: the CONQUISTADORES. Need to watch it with closer attention to see its underlying theme, purpose, message...

Remember: the Native Indians were the original owners of the whole 2 continents of the AMERICAS & any CORRECT HISTORY of that part of the world should present this HISTORICAL FACT.

POST 70

Sept 6, 2008

To MUSLIMS: HOW CAN I EVER DROP CONSTHEO??? even during RAMADHAN...
Just try typing my blogspot (my BLOG at blogger.com) with two letters misplaced
-Type in the URL
http://the-conspiracy-of-one.blogpsot.com
and WHAT DO YOU GET???
I am given the website
BibleCollegeOnLine.com!!!

IS THIS CHAnce or CHOice (that is, ACCIDENTAL/COINCIDENCE or PLANNED???)

ANSWER THIS/DECIDE FOR YOURSELF DEAR READER no matter whether you are a Christian, Catholic, Protestant, Maronite/Nestorian Christian, Druze, Orthodox Jew, Greek Orthodox, Born-Again, Saksi ni Hoba, Sabatista, Iglesia, Muslim, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadiyya, Hindu, Buddhist, Sabian, Atheist, Agnostic, Socialist, Communist, Capitalist, Pulubi, ETC ETC ETC

=======
Another Muslim website I just got:

http://aleadership.net/muslims_agenda.htm

Scanning it led me this idea:
Most NON-MUSLIMS can be JUSTLY ACCUSED of TOTAL IGNORANCE about ISLAAM...

Ask a virulently ANTI-MUSLIM where her HATRED/BILE against ISLAAM/MUSLIMS comes from/originates... It is understandable if she had a very BAD EXPERIENCE in the past with some "MUSLIMS". For example, I personally had a friend from MINDANAW who adopted SHAIVITE HINDUISM (YES, I TRIED HINDUISM YEARS AGO.) His personal sad story had deep roots: His mother was killed by a grenade thrown by some Muslim - This is what he told me. He SOUGHT the ANSWER to HIS PERSONAL QUESTION/TRAGEDY. He found it in changing his religion. I do not know where he is now. But I remember he had striking resemblance to the PHil. govt. agent (allegedly) named EDWIN ANGELES who was an alleged ABU SAYYAF (ASG) member or even core founder.

DEAR READER: I ASK YOU: CHA OR CHO???????!!!!!!!

When there is an EXTEMELY HOT debate between MUSLIMS and CHRISTIANS especially, ask the CHRISTIANS what they know about ISLAAM (NOT MUSLIMS). 99% of the time they are very likely ignorant. I assure the READER, Philippine Christians if ever they really do an unbiased questioning & study ISLAAM gain tremendous shock about their MISCONCEPTIONS aobut ISLAAM. In fact, the ANTI-MUSLIMS in this country have no option but to MANIPULATE their followers IGNORANCE. COZ once these uninformed (NO, MISinformed) folks begin to ask about the real ISLAAM and study it, they almost always end up EMBRACING the AGAMA!!!!!!!

SOME ISLAAMIC LINKS

September 06 Saturday

RAMADHAN
This is the sacred MONTH of the MUSLIM CALENDAR when ISLAAM's PROPHET received the REVELATION of the QUR'AN...
(Yes dear readers, the JULIAN & GREGORIAN CALENDARS are not the only calendars available to mankind. Even the Indian Hindus, the Chinese Confucians, the Persians, the South American Indian Mayans/Aztecs, etc etc have/had their own system of time-reckoning... The MUSLIMS have their own HIJRAH calendar...)
During this month, Muslims are supposed to practice more fully their religion (OF COURSE, there are non-practicing MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS, BUDDHISTS ETC ETC = These people are identified with their professed religions "in name only" or more respectable, "NOMINALLY"...)
Since I consider myself a MUSLIM I should not be tackling my suspicious CONSTHEOs now... NEVERTHELESS/BUT this is not really an ISLAAMic website. I would still discuss my CONSTHEOs though a bit tempered... As concession to the AGAMA (See what it means to be HALF-COOKED!), I'll add some DA'WAH (ISLAAM propagation) notes like ISLAAMIC links, ideas... At least I can help MUSLIMS by showing NON-MUSLIMS that ISLAAM is not just about war, violence, terrrorism as effectively promoted by MEDIA...

For example, I was led to the site

www.islamawareness.net

Read its brief yet informative articles about MAGICK, JINNS, etc.
It also has something about ISLAAM in PHILIPPINES...

Part of the MUSLIM FAITH is belief in the reality of THE UNSEEN - knowledge of which is termed in ARABIC as "ILM-UL-GHAIB". If one is a MATERIALIST, then she does not believe in this... SCIENTIFIC MATERIALISM, DIALECTICAL MATERIALISM, any world-view classified as "MATERIALIST" etc etc therefore entail non-belief in this...

CRUSACONTI

Sept. 1, 2008

CRUSADES continued...
I gave the Council at Clermont date November 10, 1095
That was what was etched in my memory...
Maybe the 10 is simply repeated from the 1095...
It appears from some websites that only November 1095 is certain...

Regarding Pope Urban II's Speech see for example:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/urban2-5vers.html
UBAN II SPEECH (FIVE VERSIONS OF THE SPEECH)

This is a JESUIT site (FORDHAM is Jesuit...)
Try FRENCH CATHOLIC sites.
The FIRST CRUSADERS WERE FRENCH (FRANKS/FRANJ/FERINGGI)...

RAMTHOUGHTS

September 01, 2008
Ramadhan THOUGHTS

When the 2008 CHINA OLYMPIC GAMES commenced & went underway, I was expecting some kind of BIG trouble a la MUNICH OLYMPICS MASSACRE... But NOTHING happened. Either Chinese MEDIA successfully blocked all negative reports or no TERRORIST ATTACK of any sort happened. The MEDIA always hints at UIGHUR separatists, TIBETANS etc etc I have an explanation: The REAL TERRORISTS (BUSH & cohorts) were all there so why should there be any terrorist attack? HAR HAR Their presence signalled the terrorists to "just hold your fire"... Meanwhile, bombings, killings & fightings continue in MUSLIM AREAS like IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN & PAKISTAN... SUDAN, in the Horn of Africa... Even in RP with the MILF attack in RANAW (Lanao del Norte) No sympathy TERRORIST ATTACK happened anywhere in this archipelago in reaction to PHIL. military counter-attack. I THOUGHT it is the MUSLIMS who are the TERRORISTS... Now, apparently, the MILF is a legitimate liberation group engaging in CONVENTIONAL WAR in the battle field... With the GRP breaking its commitment to the peace talks.

At least the events in Mindanaw should open the eyes of those ignorant to the historico-religious-political-economic realities obtaining in this archipelago & region... The REALLY SIGNIFICANT ones... IRAQ cannot be ignored - it has global/worldwide impact... It seems there was a general agreement among the powers-that-be that that area shall serve as the de facto BATTLEGROUND - POOR IRAQIS! An aspiring lawyer told me BUSH broke all known rules & laws with his attack on IRAQ. In fact, all professors/experts on INTERNATIONAL LAW should look for another job or study another AREA of EXPERTISE.
INTERNATIONAL LAW is BULL_...
So: WHO ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS?
One should really do tremendous IN-DEPTH RESEARCH to break through the BULL_ foisted by the DISINFORMERS if one wants a genuine understanding of WORLD EVENTS... Many books dated 2000+ are written not to describe REALITY but to influence/manipulate the reader's mind/thoughts by exploiting her biases etc etc

Personally, am starting out with a study of the CRUSADES. BUSH used this word.THE CRUSADES started when the Byzantine Emperor (head of the Eastern Orthodox) Alexius Comnenus appealed to other Christians for help in fighting the Muslim TURKS who were expanding north-westwards... POPE URBAN II delivered his epoch-making sermon in the Council of CLERMONT (now Clermont-Ferrand, France) on November 10, 1095 starting the FIRST CRUSADE. It was a very turbulent period with Christians fighting Chrtistians, Christians fighting Muslims and Muslims fighting Muslims! Now I have a suspicion CHESS was seriously developed during that period & became an alternative battleground. I really believe the European CRUSADERS & their TURK/SARACEN/AGARENE foes shifted the bloodletting to the gameboard, with territories, properties (& maybe even wives!) up at stake over the CHESSBOARD!!!

There were THREE ADVERSARIAL GROUPS then: BYZANTINES CHRISTIANs, FRANKISH CATHOLICS & MUSLIMS. THe MUSLIMS who belonged to different nations & tribes were also fighting among themselves...
Today - NOTHING really has changed... Humans never learn anything from HISTORY...

The two-person model of competition like CHESS, GO, G.G. is not really applicable to the CRUSADES! There are so many sides involved that maybe BRIDGE/WHIST or other multi-player game might be a better model. There would not just be competition but also cooperation, temporary alliances, etc etc etc

You can ask someone to borrow from the UP MAIN LIB SOC SCI SEC
the NEW book by Andrew Wheatcroft Infidels: A History of the Conflict Between Christendom & Islam
It should be a useful starting point for studying the CRUSADES Of course, there is the danger that one "starts on the wrong foot" so to speak... But just read it noting important personalities dates, places & events & pose your questions for further research & development & look for other books - the older the better. Then try to relate these to the PRESENT
