OK. Enough already.
Let me try and explain myself. First of all, it was not llpoh’s fault. It is nobody’s fault. I’m just mentally burnt out. I seem to have a problem with balancing my life. The daily rage required to keep this blog interesting affects my health. For a couple weeks I’ve sat in front of the computer trying to write part three of my last article. I keep drawing a blank. I don’t know why. I can’t seem to focus or think properly.
I concluded, rightly or wrongly, that trying to write five to ten commentaries per day and live my real life has mentally drained me. It happened back in December and seems to be happening more frequently.
I haven’t left the planet. My goal is to not leave the planet sooner than I want to. Keeping up the daily rage required to keep this blog growing will probably put me in an early grave. So, I’m just going to step back from the daily commentary.
I’ll post articles I find interesting from other people, but I’m going to try and not get worked up on a daily basis. I hope that my mental faculties return and I can write an occasional article.
I appreciate all of the nice things you’ve said, but I’ve learned far more from you than you will ever know. I won’t pull the plug on this blog because it wouldn’t be fair to all the brilliant, funny, intelligent people who have become like a family to me. A dysfunctional family, but a family none the less.
Thank you for the donations, but this has nothing to do with money or TBP being a business venture. I don’t care about making money. I care about the truth and my kids’ future.
So this isn’t about the end of TBP. I just need to find some sort of balance that doesn’t make me crazier than I already am.
P.S. This is really me. I have not been carted away to a mental institution by the authorities.
No one has threatened me or my family. I just need to step back and get some balance.
Keep throwing the shit.
Gjh – sorry, I read too much into your posting of the article. Easy to do around here. My bad.

I know who FBD is. Really, I do. Sorry, I can’t tell you. It’s classified.
FBD, who nevers vetts anything he reads, said:
A new study I just came across today;
A paper entitled “Preparing For A Post Israel Middle East”
A draft report prepared by the U.S. intelligence community. Concludes that the American national interest in fundamentally at odds with that of Zionist Israel. The authors conclude that Israel is currently the greatest threat to US national interests because its nature and actions prevent normal US relations with Arab and Muslim countries and, to a growing degree, the wider international community.
http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2012/08/28/us-preparing-for-a-post-israel-middle-east/
Totally bogus bullshit. What you read, FBD, was an article written by Franklin Lamb, a committed pro-Palestinian who’s been at this shit for 30 years with a variety of books and articles which firmly reveal his committment to the Palestinian cause and his anti-Israel stance. He is a volunteer for the Palestinian Civil Rights Campaign and chairman of the Sabra-Satila Foundation. He lives in Lebanon. One person who knows him calls him a Hezbollah Groupy, and he has written an article favorable to Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s political chief, and appeared on Al Manar, a TV station owned by Hezbollah.
The so-called “draft report” was NOT “prepared” by the U.S. intelligence community (IC). According to Lamb, it was “commissioned” by the IC.
Now, you have to ask yourself some questions, pilgrim. How did a person with Lamb’s background and reputation even get to read this so-called 82-page, draft report commissioned by the IC? Not gonna happen. Ever. And how come ONLY Lamb knows of the existence of such a report? Is there a link ANYWHERE to verify ANYTHING that Lamb claims? Nope. None. Nada. Zilch.
Here endeth FBD’s reality check for the day.
A non-story by wannabe neocons about a disinformation ploy … planted by an American in/for Israel

Take a nice long break! Study some permaculture, something to put you back in balance with things that are real. Things that can grow, fruit, and die, a little like our passions. When its time, the seed of what you grew will be back, much like the original but with a life of its own, a symbiosis of the old and whatever new thing that comes of it. We have enjoyed your passion and will again I think. For now, gets some true balance, learn to laugh again, forgot this madness for a while.
In gratitude,

Damnit Jim, I have had the government up my ass and in my life for over a decade because of some idiot named Michael Trusty
This only makes my resolve stronger. I am monitored to this day because of this inexperienced moron that couldnt turn a socket.
TE – No, I haven’t heard of Jim Humble. I’ll look him up.
I figure the same about EFT. I’m a pretty skeptical person, and I don’t have a scientific understanding of it, but I buy that tapping/acupressure/acupuncture somehow work. I’ve heard too many positive accounts from people without motive to lie.
I do breathing and body scan meditations. I’ve lacked discipline in my practice, and at first didn’t feel much and wondered if I was doing it right. But I’ve done it enough to know that it does have a real effect for me. The body scan leaves me feeling great, physically and mentally. Took a while of doing it to start feeling its effect.
Dont think for a minute that you, or anyone that posts on the internet (being a public thing, has no right to privacy) is at all private. Funny that this does not apply to closed door congressional mastur umm that is debates on public policy which occur on ‘public property’ do exercise privacy on public property.
Take a break Jim.
CYA soon.
Get you a beer, do not try to create a revolution, and get your intelligent ass back in the battle for sanity, Jim.
Take a vacation, get a case, or two, of beer, Jim. Ponder things, Discuss things with your lovely misses. Enjoy life.
Let resolve dissolve.
Love you guys. Bill.
So glad you’re still out there, Kill Bill. We haven’t heard from you for a while and I know you had some health issues. Are you doing OK?
KB – I have been looking for you. So good to see you. Hope all is well. M
Kill Bill lives. Seriously, I was afraid you passed through the final door
You almost did again, didn’t you?
Glad you’re kickin’
So glad you’re still out there, Kill Bill. We haven’t heard from you for a while and I know you had some health issues. Are you doing OK?
They are still there and it often causes numbness in the extremities [claudication] and taking rat poison [Warfarin] is irritating….politicians antics make me focus on their stupidity and obvious whorinng.
So, I am ok. Thanks for asking, though. =)
You almost did again, didn’t you? -Colma
I did.
Oddly it doesnt make me fear death as many seem to think it would.
But since I have read where you are studying philosophy, what is death?

Dear cat, when my body grows cold I will feed you.
Good luck, Bill. =)
