Thank you for this podcast. I support each of the revised and new commandments. I will personally thank God in a few minutes.

Thou shalt not steal has been replaced with Thou shalt not get caught.

"Thou shalt not create artificial borders." My favorite, as I have been hoping for this most of my life. Before "countries" happened, humans were like other life forms--able to go wherever they could mange to get to!

I'm convinced (okay, maybe wishful thinking) that a commandment that one should not engage in pedophilia might get Christians' attention, at least to the point that they believe people should live their lives according to the 10 Commandments.

LOL. Unlike one of your previous podcasts, which drew ire from your readers because they didn't understand it was a parody, I think it's pretty clear this one is make believe. I LOL'd several times. God bless!

Dear Mike,

For the love of God, please read this email. I have proof of government corruption that every patriotic American should see.

My name is Ted Martin. I just finished writing a book about my first hand encounters with a morbidly corrupt federal judicial system. The book is titled: The Illusion of Justice and contains documented, incontrovertible proof of widespread systemic corruption in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, the Administrative Office of United States Courts, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Supreme Court not only ignored two of the most egregious cases of judicial misconduct imaginable (my cases) but also an amicus brief by former Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner in which he blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judge Posner’s amicus brief is posted on the Supreme Court’s website at www.supremecourt.gov and can be accessed by typing in the following case number: Martin v. Living Essentials (Case No. 17-8352)

It will be painfully obvious to anyone who reads my book (or Judges Posner’s amicus brief) that the Supreme Court denies certiorari without even bothering to read the petitions submitted by the citizens of the United States. This obscene betrayal of the public trust is a clear-cut violation of every Justice’s judicial oath and a crime under federal law that is commonly referred to as honest services fraud.

In short, my book proves that the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt corporate judges who will never side with the American people. This was abundantly clear when Senator Chuck Schumer and the other Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee repeatedly refused to use irrefutable evidence of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett (a Republican nominee) at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

This bipartisan band of seditious conspirators also refused to address the underlying corruption in clear violation of their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

The only difference between the two major political parties is the rhetoric. The special interest groups running this country don’t give a damn which bribe taking stooge you vote for or even if you vote at all. They have already successfully rigged every election by controlling “our” choices.

The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been caught red-handed conspiring to pack the courts with corrupt judges who will never side with you. If there was ever a reason to be a one issue voter, this is it. Besides, any politician caught lying about their fidelity to the Constitution and laws of the United States is obviously lying about everything—particularly their agenda.

Republicans push the corrupt corporate agenda. Democrats pretend to be opposed. Together, they sell their offices to the highest bidders. They foment war for the military industrial complex, promote racism for the prison industrial complex, refuse to restrict access to assault weapons for the gun manufactures, permit large quantities of toxic cancer causing chemicals to be dumped into our air, land, and water for the chemical manufactures, deny needed medical care to our country’s citizens for the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, and turn a willful blind eye to the catastrophic effects of global warming for the fossil fuel industries. The list of their greed fueled crimes against humanity goes on and on.

Voting your current elected representatives out of office should be a no brainer. But, to make sure that they are not replaced with another batch of equally corrupt corporate stooges, we’re also going to have to take back both the Republican and Democratic parties and get the money out of politics.

While this may appear to be a daunting task, all we really need is a sound plan. After giving this matter some careful consideration, I have the following proposal: We agree to put aside all of our ideological differences and unite as Americans in support of the Constitution of the United States.

If you read my book, it really won’t be that difficult. You will know who the real enemy is and it certainly isn’t your fellow citizens. We just need to become one issue voters. Ignore their contrived wedge issues, bullshit talking points, and cringe worthy campaign ads. If they are not fighting tooth and nail to get the money out of politics—don’t legitimize them with your vote.

Seriously, if in doubt—throw them out. Besides, any government official who is not forcefully calling for the resignations of the corrupt leaders of their own political party is, by definition, violating their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Whether Republican or Democrat, a treasonous corporate criminal is a treasonous corporate criminal, they serve the same master and nothing is going to change until we get the money out of politics.

*You get the money out of politics by publicly funding elections, banning all campaign contributions, and, in exchange for their broadcasting/operating licenses, requiring news organizations to give every candidate for public office an equal amount of free advertising space.

In the future, I may write a book titled: The Illusion of Journalism. But for now, I’m just going to say that the media is not going to help anyone blow the whistle on their partners in crime. In the past four years, I couldn’t find a single news organization that hadn’t sold us out.

All an honest journalist would have to do is read Judge Posner’s amicus brief to know that the courts are irretrievably corrupt. Reading my book will conclusively show that the courts are corrupt by design.

If you want a government that actually acts in your best interests, I urge you and everyone you know to read my book as soon as possible. You can get a digital copy of my book free of charge at the link below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_vaMH1riLodzOfQn0kI7ow0RDrPM0NqE/view?usp=sharing

Moon and stars sit way up high

Earth and trees beneath them lie

The wind blows fragrant lullaby

To cool the night for you and I

On the wing the birds fly free

Leviathan tames angry sea

Flower waits for honeybee

The sunrise wakes new life in me

And Every hour of every day, I'm learning more

The more I learn, the less I know about before

The less I know, the more I want to look around

Digging deep for clues on higher ground

The fishes swim while rivers run

Through fields to feast my eyes upon

Intoxicated drinking from

The loving cup of burning sun

In dreams, I'll crave familiar taste

Of whispered rain on weary face

Kisses sweet and warm embrace

Another time, another place

And Every hour of every day, I'm learning more

The more I learn, the less I know about before

The less I know, the more I want to look around

Digging deep for clues on higher ground

Michael... Thank you so much for sharing with us your conversation with God. .....It was illuminating, to say the least! I do hope she/he/it/they remember(s) to send Louisiana the memo with the updated revisions! The students in that state will reap untold rewards by memorizing and internalizing these newest and more explicit pronouncements that will be posted in every classroom from pre-kindergarten through college. And, needless to say, we would all highly benefit from living by these most current commandments. I'm so grateful that God chose YOU to relay the message! Now we must spread the (new) word from God.

That had to be Sister Herman, at least for me me in 5th grade. We had to sit in her class with hands folded on top of the desk. This was to insure our impure thoughts didn’t lead to impure actions. If we were doing something else with our hands she would signal us with her own hands folded and extended towards us making this clicking sound with her tongue. Five seconds was all it took back in those days.

You know when I first moved out to LA in the early 1990's to work for a cultural institution - (that I won't name) - my Mom (who resides in Oxford) - kept insisting that I reach out and contact Charlton Heston - as for sure he'd be really interested in what I was doing and would totally help fund any project I was likely to be engaged with - 'cuz younow - that's totally HOW the world works.

Charlton Heston put his vest 'on.

I mooved away from LA after I got nearly killed by a bunch of young opportunistic territorial gang bangers + LAPD officer watching me die on the street (head injuries and other + enough blood for anyone ) - being observed by said officer for 20 mins from the safety of a parked (cati-corner) LAPD squad car.

.

Moved back to blighty (after two years of dental work and brain injuries ) to do Ph.D. at Cambridge University and start to have / raise / adopt kids for a decade as LA is a TERRIBLE place to raise children. Failed to get with "France" and its Beurocracies (sp) and made the fatal mistake of mooving back the USA - but at least its not Los Angeles.

.

etc.

.

Absolutely morally bankrupt to the core. LA that is ... but more broadly speaking - hmmmm.

I feel very sorry for actually decent people that try to get by in LA.

There are many ways in which some one can just idly watch someone bleed out and die. Even over a period of months and years (in some cases) - but usually brought to a shorter end by "Merciful" vultures.

Being afraid of a cow - is no way to go through life. But OTOH don't be embracing the intact bull neither.

Although I did hear a good joke (the other week) about - what do you do with a (male) RhINO with three testicles ? - [Not that a female RINO would not have three testicles but these days you have to think in more inclusive terms. ].

That joke doesn't land the same on both sides of the pond - and splain'n shit emdlessly ruins any good joke also.
