Khaled al-As'ad, an 82 year old professor and one of the most respected antiquity experts in the world, was beheaded by ISIS this week and his body was hung in the town of Palmyra that he has fought to help preserve.
THIS SHOULD BE A WORLD COURT ISSUE.
THERE SHOULD BE A WARRANT ISSUED FOR THE ARREST OF ANYONE INVOLVED IN THIS BRUTAL ACT....AND THAT WOULD SEEM TO BE ANYONE WHO FIGHTS FOR ISIS...OR IS...OR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO CALL THEIR GROUP.
THE DESTRUCTION OF ANTIQUITIES FROM 300 AND 200 AND 100 BC IS UNACCEPTABLE....and there doesn't seem to be very much coverage in the media.
THE KILLING OF SOMEONE WHO TRIES TO STOP THIS NONSENSE IS A CRIMINAL ACTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE UNITED NATIONS.
Calling anyone an apostate because they don't follow your religious viewpoint is completely insane....because once that term is applied, than death is the sentence.
You might not remember this but Damascus is the oldest inhabited city in the world......and it sits 100 miles from the northern border of Israel.
ISIS is a Salafi Jihadist Extreme militant group which is part of the Sunni faction of the Islamic faith.
The historical town of Palmyra is located in the central region of Syria and it would seem that perhaps that region should be the final resting place for ISIS.
President Assad either is part of ISIS or he doesn't have the resources to stop them. If the second reason is the main reason then THE COALITION needs to step it up and step it up today.
THE UNITED STATES CANNOT BE THE ONLY POWER WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW ISIS CAN BE STOPPED.
SAUDI ARABIA SHOULD BE THE LEADER IN ANY MILITARY ACTION BUT THE COUNTRY IS 85% SUNNI MUSLIM......and keep in mind that are considered a strong ally of the US.
As ISIS gets closer to the Israeli border....s..t will hit the fan. The Coalition needs to make sure that doesn't happen.
The beheading of Khaled al-As'ad could be remembered as a turning point.
WHAT HAPPENS FROM THIS POINT ON IS ANY ONE'S GUESS.
I'm not about to say that the stock market issues taking place this week (Dow drops 1000 points) have anything to do with one professor's brutal killing but the Universe is connected in many mysterious ways and one thing I'm sure of....ISIS IS NOT THE ANSWER TO PEACE AND HARMONY.....AND THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED.
PRESIDENT OBAMA NEEDS TO TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN CONDEMNING THEIR BEHAVIOR....ALONG WITH ANY LEADER WHO BELIEVES IN JUSTICE AND SENSIBILITY.
UNFORTUNATELY THAT LIST MIGHT BE TOO SHORT....and once again Wyatt Earp, better known as The United States of America, needs to lead the way.

Celebrity is everything and everywhere....except here.
I'm pretty sure that Donald Trump is not running for President. The truth is simply that he is priming us for his next TV show...."Celebrity Politicians."
Imagine the show set up in the following fashion.
Game show format:
Ex-politicians on a panel with three to four contestants trying to determine whether or not they are lying or telling the truth about something that happened to them while in office.
ALL THE RUMORS and all facts would be quite entertaining.
NO SUBJECTS OFF LIMITS.
A lie-detector would have to be involved but since this type of person is probably an expert at lying it might not work.
Sample questions......
"VP Chaney....did your foundation ever except any money from Haliburton while you were in office?"
"President Clinton.....did you actually ever have sex with Hilary in the oval office? Did you ever have sex with her...anywhere while President of the United States?"
"President Carter....could you name the last person that you lusted after while in the Whiter House?"
"President Bush Sr.......did you ever order the killing of anyone while head of the CIA?"
OF COURSE THE WIVES COULD BE INCLUDED AND THAT WOULD ADD ANOTHER ENTIRE DIMENSION TO THE PROGRAM.
The point I'm trying to make is that CELEBRITY is the only game in town.
It used to be that movie stars, rock gods and elite athletes were the only true celebrities. Now every professional athlete is a celebrity along with thousands of singers and performers on YouTube and anyone on a TV show, whether network or cable, is a celebrity. I mean really....Bruno Mars deserves huge celebrity status......................Kesha......not so much.
There is a certain level of celebrity that rises above the crowd and money seems to be a huge part of determining that level.
I have never watched one second of the Kardashian clan experience but I read where that show generates around $20 million a year for that family.
Robert Downey Jr. made $80 million last year.....but he gave us one more Iron-Man moment and that and that alone speaks volumes.
The Internet based celebrity list is much too long to point out as are corporate leaders of industry and certain religious icons such the new Pope. One might argue that Francis is more than a celebrity but since he gathers huge crowds and they all give him money whenever he blesses them, I would say he's got the celebrity thing down pat.
IS THERE A POOR CELEBRITY ON THE PLANET?
I would like to apply for that job.....for a few reasons.
Number one.....I'm poor.
Number two.....I have things to offer that seem to be unique....and that might interest larger groups of people if what I do could become better known.
IT'S MY ARTIST EGO IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
What do I do and what do I know that would make me a celebrity?
I know how the Universe started....or why it started might be a better answer.
I know how to be funny when it's needed.
I know that vibration is the key to everything.
I know how to make the best Mocha Almond Fudge Coffee you've ever tasted.
I know that Natalie Wood and Grace Kelly might be the most beautiful actresses...ever.
I know that President Obama has done a very good job but that won't ever matter to a certain type of person....to be named later
I know that destroying ancient artifacts and structures in Syria and Iran is absolutely wrong.
I know that all organized religions underestimate the Creator of our Universe.
I know that human beings greatest asset is the ability to tell stories....both fiction and non- fiction.
I know that family dining together on a regular basis makes a huge difference in how family unity works...and I know that the hard way.
I know that mushrooms have played a much larger part in history than we've been told.
I know how to be devastated by life's tragedies and yet fully understand that the Universe is love....and at one time it was very very loud....and probably still is way way way way out there.
I know how to hallucinate without drugs.
I know how to make interesting pieces of art that are generally pretty.
I know how to blend art and science but I know most people couldn't care less.
I know I like the word pretty and I know it's really a subjective word and idea.
I think it's pretty cool that you are reading my blog.
My only real flaw (and there might numerous ones but they don't seem real) is that I can't generate revenue....and that shouldn't be a deterrent to becoming a celebrity.......should it?
Oh, by the way.......this might be my avenue to immortality.
https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/pages/Neo-Illumination/121880631250681
I'm fully aware that Neo-Illumination negates most organized religious beliefs and that fact
alone is a huge obstacle to wide acceptance. The thing to remember is that as we move into the next stage of human evolution there will be solutions that create harmony which are not part of the current planetary mindset.
THAT WILL CHANGE AS HUMAN BEINGS USE A BIT MORE OF THEIR INTELLECT.
Intuition will grow and that will be a huge step in increased levels of understanding and awareness.
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO ADVANCE UP THE LADDER OF AWARENESS.
Our obsession with celebrity is one rung that has grown into multiple rungs over the last 50 years and it might get stranger before it gets, shall we say, relaxed.
In the meantime....bring on the celebrity, even a hint would be ok........I'm ready.

Drones
A few days ago there was an article on Yahoo by Wayne Roth regarding drones. He brought up certain safety questions but I needed to take it a few steps further.
Drones can cost as little as $40 dollars and extremely nice drones can run around $3000. Those are the type of drones not built by the military. Add a Go-Pro camera for $299 if you need to satisfy your voyeur tendencies.
I saw a video on You Tube where someone added a .22 caliber firing device and that really got me thinking.
Should every drone be registered just in case? I'll leave it up to your imagination regarding the horrible things that can happen if explosive devices are added.
And that brings me to the more expensive drones. The ones built and sold at munitions trade shows.
Let's just jump ahead a few years.......it's 2025 and there are 5 million of these devices floating around the skies.
Every war zone has multiple units, ranging from small to Boeing type machines....and they are being operated through smart phone applications.
Every news program has drones to cover road incidents and private affairs in the back yard.
Every film crew has drones
Every sporting event has drones
Every outdoor concert has multiple drone coverage
There are hundreds of drones at Burning Man
and
on and on and on.....including of course every war zone on the planet.
The flyinf f**kers are everywhere!
Thus, I am suggesting that every drone sold must be registered with a tracking code and then of course background checks will be mandatory.
Think about the assholes who purchase guns with the intention of causing bodily harm to other human beings. The havoc they can create with flying explosive devices, bought at Brookstone, being operated by a smart phone, is absolutely terrifying.
NOW ON TO THE BIG BOY TOYS
The following companies make drones that are bought by interested military parties.
BOEING
GENERAL ATOMICS
ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES
NORTHROP GRUMMAN
PROX DYNAMICS
GENERAL DYNAMICS
OF COURSE THERE ARE MORE
AND SOME OF THEM AREN'T COMPANIES BUT ARE BETTER KNOWN AS
COUNTRIES
CHINA
RUSSIA
I simply assume that if you can build an airplane......you can build a drone.
Interested military parties is a key term in this article.............
There truly seems to be a vast increase in the number of interested military parties that have entered the global arena within the last 20 years.
And there seems to be no shortage of companies willing to supply each and every interested military party.
THE INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX HAS
GONE
BATSHIT CRAZY
AND
UNFORTUNATELY
EVERY COUNTRY HAS
ONE
THE SCARIEST PART OF THIS SCENARIO is simply that ALL THOSE TOYS WILL BE USED AND REPLACEMENTS WILL BE ORDERED and the industrial military complex of each nation will grow and thrive.
Ike warned us about the IMC but he probably wasn't anticipating that every country
on the planet would eventually have their own.....and if someone had told him that in 65 years any crazy son-of-a-bitch could buy a small flying device and attach a home made bomb to it and operate it through their phone.......he would simply have thought they had read too much Jules Verne.
I realize drones can be used to capture many exciting fun moments.......but I've heard that pit bulls are very loving and friendly dogs unless they aren't.
Drones have huge negative capabilities and therefore regulations and registration appear to be necessary details.
I suppose the NDA (National Drone Association) will have the same type of lobby power and presence as the NRA and nothing will stop the growth of these potential weapons.
Before the Wright Brothers, humans used to look up in the sky and see the Heavens and all of creations natural glory and then the 20th century saw humans look up and wonder where that plane was going and now humans will (pretty soon) look up at the sky and say.......RUN FOR FUCKING COVER.
IT WILL TAKE AWHILE BEFORE THE CRAZIES GET THEIR MOJO MOVING IN THE DRONE DIRECTION SO ENJOY.............THE WEEKEND.
