"Tortura!" Vintage Halloween Album Cover

I was looking for vintage Halloween images; I entered "vintage Halloween Christian" because I was looking for anything saintly or Marian to post on UFO Mary, and found this -- the obvious Catholic parallels won't be pointed out . . .

British Teachers Against Teaching Patriotism

Amidst the scary parts of the article is the encouraging fact that many British teachers are against "brainwashing" their students by teaching patriotism. Majority of teachers don't want to promote 'brainwashing' patriotism to pupils

It's an odd article, I'm not sure if I missed something or what, but it seems to jump from discussing teachers dislike of indoctrinating students to items about students tested on a number of things. It goes from the following comment by writer Fredercik Forsyth who dismisses fears of indoctrination:

Novelist and commentator Frederick Forsyth said: 'I wish these teachers would see that patriotism in the sense of that quiet pride is nothing to be afraid of. It's not aggressive. It doesn't put down foreigners. It doesn't noisily wave flags and it certainly doesn't swerve towards the BNP.'

And segues to this:

Pupils at a state comprehensive school are to be given therapy lessons by staff from a celebrity rehab clinic on drug addiction, anger management and eating disorders. Teachers at Notley High, Braintree, Essex, have teamed up with experts from the private Priory hospitals, which are better known for helping celebrities such as Amy Winehouse overcome their excesses. They have developed a programme of cognitive behaviour therapy to tackle issues including anger, low self esteem, eating disorders and drug addiction. Staff hope the voluntary lessons will help pupils avoid developing such problems in the first place.

Which is also scary of course.

England is doing some very weird things over there, and have been since 9/11. Which isn't a coincidence. Speaking of bizarre mind-op social engineering studies on students, I wrote about the use of UFOs and random shooter as a motif in My Teacher Was Abducted By Aliens: Preparation for Fake Disclosure? for UFO Digest in July.

On Naveed's Realm: "Was there a giant cephalopod in Devil's Lake?"

Naveed on his blog Naveed's Realm has an interesting item about the legend of the monster in Devil's Lake in Lincoln City, Oregon.

The short story as for as the Oregon one goes is that the Siletz Indian tribe centuries ago used to really like of the area of Devil's Lake. Then one night when a group of warriors was dispatched across the lake, massive tentacles burst forth from the waters destroying the canoes. The warriors where then flung around, beaten against the water and debris, and died from drowning or injury. From then on the lake was called Devil's Lake.

Was the "monster" a squid, or is the story only a myth to explain the dangers of the area?

Swine Flu Reactions Close to Home

A very good friend of mine, who I respect, vehemently disagrees with me about the swine flue vaccinations. This friend sees refusal to get vaccinated as, at best, irresponsible, even abusive to one's family and co-workers. I completely understand, and respect that point of view. I understand where she is coming from, given the context of her profession, and her love for her family. I also completely disagree with her. What makes it more difficult in these crazy faux apocalyptic times is that others in her family also disagree, which makes for highly uncomfortable tension and bad feelings. I don't know if my friend agrees that the swine flu propaganda is propaganda, hype, and a man made, intentionally released "bug" set loose in the world. (Where I see the swine flu plushie as a surreal piece of indoctrination she sees it as an educational tool or toy) I would assume if she did believe that, she'd be more reluctant to get vaccinated.

Not necessarily so, I guess. Someone I know believes, like I do, that the swine flu is all of the above, but even so, will get vaccinated. This person trusts the vaccinations: they are harmless. (This person also told me that someone close to them has a job where it's requited they get vaccinated. I wondered, but didn't ask, if that's legal. Something to look into.)

When things like this are close to home, it forces you to check your own position on things. People I love, care about and respect disagree with me, sometimes almost violently so, on issues. What to do in these cases? After thinking about my thoughts on the swine flu, thinking on their positions, I am left with: I still believe and think what I did before hearing their positions.

Fortunately, I am not faced with, like my close friend, a challenge to family harmony. I don't have children, and my husband and I share the same opinions. What if, however, we did have children, or our disagreements clashed so strongly we ... what? Separate? Divorce? Sounds silly, but imagine one spouse refusing to get vaccinated, while the other insists he/she does. I wouldn't want my spouse to risk getting killed or harmed from the vaccinations (not to mention the other insidious aftermaths of a semi-mandated, "practice run" program of propaganda) while he wouldn't want me to be exposed to the flu, or, expose others. Of course, if one is vaccinated, it wouldn't matter if someone else were vaccinated or not. I realize from their point of view it's not that simple, for every person vaccinated, many more are not, and they see those individuals as at risk for getting ill, particularly children.

(See a related article The ethics of vaccination, even though it concludes that getting vaccinated is a good thing.)

Speaking of swine flu matters close to home, here in the Pacific Northwest a swine flu outbreak hit a Washington state campus hard. Approximately 2,500 students came down with the swine flu. Swine flu hits Washington State Univ. Classes started August 24th.

Swine Flu Plushie!

Just when you think things couldn't get more surreal, well, they do. . .

You can buy a swine flu plush toy. Anything to get the message across that swine flu is your friend, even though it's your enemy. As long you get vaccinated. Twice. Maybe three times. No one knows yet. But in the meantime, you can cuddle up with Swiney until things get sorted out.

Please send Sister Wolf your love and light, she will be undergoing surgery. It would be nice to have her well enough to attend our local UFO meeting at the end of Sept, so send some extra love her way. :)

Enter the Contradictory World of "Baby MRSA"

About a year ago I was in so much pain from the chronic ear infections I'd been having for months. After several trips to the doctor, Wellness Clinic, and the ER, I went back to the emergency room. This time someone decided to finally take a culture from my ear. After all the doctors I'd seen, and that includes two visits to a ENT specialist, no one bothered to take a culture. The results: MRSA. (I wrote about this last year for Book of Thoth: MRSA and Morgellons: Jangled Messages.)

I was once again put on various anti-biotics. It seemed to work for awhile, after another round after the first. Things calmed down.

What I found interesting during this process was the consistently confusing and conflicting responses from medical people. Downright cavalier at times, which contrasted strongly with the news and information about MRSA found in the media and on the internet. When I asked why it took so damn long for anyone to take a culture, I was told "No one thinks about MRSA," this followed by a laugh. I was told "Everyone has MRSA" and other lame things. (It's true the "bug" is all around and we harbor it, so to speak, but that factoid does nothing to explain specifics of an individuals case.) Meanwhile, schools were closing due to MRSA outbreaks, students and staff were getting MRSA infections. I followed protocol and informed my district but I didn't get one response from anyone. I take that back: one nurse said, via email, she'd inform the lead nurse but I didn't hear anything after that.

So I finally seem to get rid of the thing, or the Alien Crud as I call it, since my eyes were literally blood red, completely, and all kinds of other gross things I'll spare you from reading about. I still would have mild ear/eye infections off and on throughout the year, but assumed it was just "stuff" one gets from working in an elementary school. I never thought it was MRSA again since one doctor told me the MRSA was gone. I asked about a culture; she told me it wasn't necessary.

This past June, I got hit hard with infections in both ears and both eyes. Particularly my left eye; which is still giving me blurry vision. This time around it was not only blurry, alien red, and generally gross, but painful as hell. It was so bad I couldn't see well enough to drive. Light bothered me; I often wore those silly solar shield shades indoors. If I took off my glasses, people assumed I was hung over, or on dope. Great.

So I'm given all kinds of drops and oral antibiotics. The oral antibiotics made me feel insanely weird. As awful as the ear/eye situation was, the effects of the antibiotics were equally as bad. I stopped taking the pills, and was given a different kind, which seemed to work and other than making me drowsy, no bad effects. The infection seemed to clear up.

A few weeks later, it was back. Literally overnight; first the ears, then the eyes. Like someone turned on a switch. Back to the doctor, more stuff, after a week or so, went away.

Couple weeks later, back again! I was feeling ever so slightly wobbly over it but things seemed okay, I drove to the coast to visit my mother, by the next morning I was feeling pretty bad. Tired, just ... crappy, and the ear and eye thing all over again. As tired as I was after driving over two hours, I drove myself straight to the emergency room when I got back to Eugene. I was tired and had to shake off the visions of my going home and getting into bed.

At the emergency room the doctor took a culture; results wouldn't be back until Monday (today) but in the meantime, he prescribed both ear and eye drops, and oral
antibiotics. These antibiotics were sulfur something or another, and made me feel horrible. It was so horrible that I stopped, continuing with the drops, which did help.

Results of the culture came in today, and I was told I had "Not MRSA, but MSSA. You're prone to having it." I'm "prone to having it?" Just lucky I guess. Apparently it's like having Baby MRSA. Brief research on the Internet tells me they're of the same bug-strain-alien weirdness-whatever, but MRSA is worse and seemingly resistant to everything, while MSSA isn't. While MSSA is resistant to most antibiotics, it isn't to all of them. I did some quick searching on the Internet and ended up confused.One site said you can't have MRSA then have it go away and get MSSA which contradicts my experiences, unless someone was wrong about the results in the first place.

So in some ways it's fine; cultures have been taken, not as bad as some who have MRSA, or, and, MSSA, -- and yet, I am still unsure of what the story is. I still can't see well out of my left eye, my ears are much better but still infected, it's the third bout since June, medical personal seem downright jocular over the whole thing, and information on this MRSA/MSSA "bug" is confusing, contradictory, and doesn't jibe with the casual, almost trivial attitude from nurses, doctors, and school administrators.

Compare this attitude and the conflicting information surrounding MRSA/MSSA with the swine flu madness. Health officials, school administrators and governors have been meeting this summer to prepare for the worst, but, don't panic they tell us. We're told we'll need two injections of the vaccine for it to work, but that the swine flu will mutate into a "normal" flu. Yet murmurs of mandated vaccinations are in the air. The rush has been on to test the vaccine -- including infants! -- but don't panic, even though there might not be enough for everyone. In both situations: MRSA and swine flu, we're made to feel both silly for worrying, and stupid, even irresponsible, for not taking it seriously.

Well, I'm off to put more drops in the old alien eyes. Just in time for the new school year to begin!
