One of the all-time great games

From http://www.sjgames.com/illuminati/:

They're all around us. Secret conspiracies are everywhere, and where can you find the only truth? Certainly not in the game of Illuminati. Fnord.

By popular demand, Deluxe Illuminati (not to be confused with the trading-card version, INWO) is back in print! This new edition features full-color cards and improved money chits . . . but it's the same game you know and fear, of secret conspiracies battling for world control.

The phone company is controlled by creatures from outer space. The Congressional Wives have taken over the Pentagon. And the Boy Sprouts are cashing in their secret Swiss bank account to smash the IRS! Two to six players compete to grab powerful groups and increase their wealth and power. No ploy is too devious, no stratagem too low, as you scheme your way to victory.

The Christ conspiracy

From http://www.truthbeknown.com/fortean.htm:

Why do they not want you to read this book? Because The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold reveals "earth's dirty little secret!" AND it's VERY EFFECTIVE at doing so! So much so that the disinfo machinery is already working to vilify it and its author. Has the Fortean Times been snookered, or co-opted?

But don't over look the Fortean Times! -- http://www.forteantimes.com/

The Christ Conspiracy reveals that Christianity and the story of Jesus Christ were created by a multinational cabal composed of members of various religions, cults, sects, secret societies and mystery schools of the Roman Empire and beyond. It demonstrates that the gospel story is a rehash of the myths of other cultures – in fact, practically all of them rolled into one – in an attempt to unify the Roman Empire under one state religion. This secret is and has been known by the higher-ranking members of the fraternal orders, including the Jesuits, Protestants and Masons.

In painstaking detail, The Christ Conspiracy exposes that "Jesus Christ" is a mythical character based on pre-Christian godmen found in the myths of other cultures around the globe. In reality, the story revolves around the solar hero, the personification of the sun, which was worshipped in numerous cultures for thousands of years.

The secrets revealed in Christ Con constitute the famous "mysteries" of yore, which is why the book is being harshly denounced and its author ridiculed and maligned by the power elite.

The FT "review" calls Christ Con "a incoherent rant of diabolical proportions." Such a vituperative and irrational statement evidently reflects the "reviewer's" own mind, as it is certainly not applicable to the contents of the book.

includes the HIGHLY coherent works of brilliant scholars like Thomas Paine, Rev. Robert Taylor, Gerald Massey, JM Robertson, Joseph Wheless, GA Wells and Barbara Walker. Perhaps the following words of Thomas Paine are too big to be coherent to the Fortean Times "reviewer":

"The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: Both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun."
What is the real reason for the subterfuge and deception? As Pope Leo X is reputed to have exclaimed, "What profit has not this fable of Christ brought us!" And as one reader says:

"I purchased 5 copies of The Christ Conspiracy and promptly gave them out to 5 members of my community theatre group. One of the recipients was a Presbyterian minister who is quite liberal regarding social issues (ordaining of gay and female ministers) . . . Anyway, he was in total agreement with your info and stated that the church knows this but will never admit this - way too much money involved. I asked him why he participates in this deception, and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I feel very sad for this man. You deserve many kudos for a splendid literary effort."

And another says:

" . . . they know it is myth. In private discussions with theologians, they shocked me by admitting they know it is all a myth. One Jesuit told me, 'Those stories are for the unthinking lay public.' This changes the problem from one of ignorance to one of lies and deceit."

An ex-Catholic priest writes of Christ Con:

"For weeks I have . . . looked at The Christ Conspiracy, and I feel totally overwhelmed.... It is a sense of awe, admiration, gratitude and humility.

"Thank you for letting me share the wonder of this book . . .

"Your book - very, very scholarly and wholly researched - is a book for today . . . its message very clear: there is hope, but ONLY if we are ready and willing to make the choices and sacrifices demanded . . . I have seen 'the future,' and I am scared!"

Find out what the brouhaha is really all about! The Christ Conspiracy can be purchased at chains and independent booksellers internationally, as well as on the Net.

Art Spiegelman's MAUS: Working-Through The Trauma of the Holocaust

From http://www.iath.virginia.edu/holocaust/spiegelman.html:

Art Spiegelman first published parts of MAUS in the magazine Raw between 1980-1991. Volumes I and II of the book Maus: A Survivor's Tale appeared in 1986 ("My Father Blleds History") and 1991 ("And Here my Troubles began"). Maus is the use of a traditionally "low" genre -- the comic strip or book --for serious, grave material. It is a conscious, intentional inversion of a norm, a hierarchy, a cultural order. It is a very "strong" (in the Bloomian sense) rereading of one survivor's tale and the transmission or testimony of this tale to the son; it is at the same time a strong revamping or reconsideration of the generic possibilites of the "comic" itself.

The reduction of the players to cats (the Nazis). mice (the Jews), pigs (the Poles) and other national stereotypes offers a conscious, intentional miniaturization and reduction, pointing up not merely the process of compression, simplification and devaluation not merely of the Nazi's practices before and during the Holocaust, but the reduction and simplification present in many "responses" to the Holocaust aswell. In this way, Spiegelman literalizes the call for petits recits so prevalent in postmodern discourse today, especially in the writings of Jean-Francois Lyotard. On another level, there are multiple narratives and kinds of texts in Maus: in addition to images, dialogue boxes, and commentary, we find maps of Poland and the Camps, diagrams of hideouts, real photographs from the family archive, detailed plans of the crematoria, an exchange table for goods in Auschwitz, and a manual for shoe-repair. Here are some of the various text-types that one finds in Maus:

he reader moves through several different "historical subject-positions" and narrated events; there are the pre-holocaust, the Holocaust, and the postholocaust, but also, within one time-frame, there can be other times and places co-present as well. Maus thus juxtaposes and intertwines past and present, the different subject histories of each protagonist, and the very different cultural contexts of Nazi occupied Poland and Rego Park, New York. The very title of the books is a powerful reworking of the convention: Maus rewrites the cultural norm and invents a new discursive space to address the questions of Jewish trauma, guilt, shame and, perhaps most importantly, the transmission of these conflicts from one generation to the next, especially in the case that they are not sufficently worked-through.

That was some schtick.

Ishmael. Hey bro, did you see your sig line?

 

[binkley]

Hey bro, did you see your sig line?

Do I have one? Who is Ishmael (in this context)?

 

[SINthysist]

His sig line is buried in your rather voluminous compilation...

You know Ish, here on the board. My twin. The one who got everything good !

QCD made simple

From http://www.aip.org/pt/vol-53/iss-8/p22.html:

Quantum chromodynamics, familiarly called QCD, is the modern theory of the strong interaction.1 Historically its roots are in nuclear physics and the description of ordinary matter--understanding what protons and neutrons are and how they interact. Nowadays QCD is used to describe most of what goes on at high-energy accelerators.

Twenty or even fifteen years ago, this activity was commonly called "testing QCD." Such is the success of the theory, that we now speak instead of "calculating QCD backgrounds" for the investigation of more speculative phenomena. For example, discovery of the heavy W and Z bosons that mediate the weak interaction, or of the top quark, would have been a much more difficult and uncertain affair if one did not have a precise, reliable understanding of the more common processes governed by QCD. With regard to things still to be found, search strategies for the Higgs particle and for manifestations of supersymmetry depend on detailed understanding of production mechanisms and backgrounds calculated by means of QCD.

Quantum chromodynamics is a precise and beautiful theory. One reflection of this elegance is that the essence of QCD can be portrayed, without severe distortion, in the few simple pictures at the bottom of the box on the next page. But first, for comparison, let me remind you that the essence of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which is a generation older than QCD, can be portrayed by the single picture at the top of the box, which represents the interaction vertex at which a photon responds to the presence or motion of electric charge.2 This is not just a metaphor. Quite definite and precise algorithms for calculating physical processes are attached to the Feynman graphs of QED, constructed by connecting just such interaction vertices.

In the same pictorial language, QCD appears as an expanded version of QED. Whereas in QED there is just one kind of charge, QCD has three different kinds of charge, labeled by "color." Avoiding chauvinism, we might choose red, green, and blue. But, of course, the color charges of QCD have nothing to do with physical colors. Rather, they have properties analogous to electric charge. In particular, the color charges are conserved in all physical processes, and there are photon-like massless particles, called color gluons, that respond in appropriate ways to the presence or motion of color charge, very similar to the way photons respond to electric charge.

Wet finger in my ear

Well now, I've had a consistent 1:5 ratio of posting to reading for this thread. Let's see if I can keep the reading up.

I slogged through it all and recognized three "Weird Al" song snippets in the long quote post.

I think we have a record for longest post ever.

I think the prize should be one of Dillinger's golden apples.

Man, this is one weird thread, dude! Are you trying to horn in on Dillinger's schtick?

Entirely up to you.

That would be fairly close, yes.
