Good morning!

Anonz posted this last week and since there are still comments coming in talking about it, and because I think what was revealed to us is so important, I thought it was beneficial to post it again….and ya know there are newbies everyday just starting to read my blog, so just to make sure that no one misses this, here it is again:

Today I want to talk about something 99% of the world knows nothing about but it effects about 99.99% of their entire life.

I am referring to the LIBOR(the London Interbank Offered Rate). I will be using that acronym when referring to that something that effects 99.99% of your life.

The LIBOR is set a privately run organization called the British Bankers Association(BBA LIBOR) it is the cabal that sets the average interest rates that banks would be charged for borrowing from each other. We insiders often refer to it as bbalibor. I will shorten it to Libor.

Most Americans concerned about the financial rip offs banks get away with are fixated on the FED. They are referring to the Federal Reserve System which is a smaller version of Libor. By that I mean the FED is used by mostly american thieves to rip off other americans.

The FED is a private money making machine for a very few privileged families with the federal government acting as its printing press when those families want to make more money to spend.

They can do this because they have given themselves the unregulated power to control the amount of money that circulates in the United States of America.

They do this by ordering the USA to print more money whenever they think we(meaning they need to make more money), the citizens of America need lower interest rates or for any other reason they can think of.

That is the simple and irrefutable definition of the FED. They use many terms to describe how they get to that point but in the end it is always comes down to controlling how many DOLLARS those private families decide should be in circulation to give them the profit they want.

So the next time you hear talk about , monetary policy, supply of money, interest rates, federal fund rates, etc, all you need to know is that a few very rich families are manipulating the amount of US dollars they will allow to be in circulation to make themselves a few more billions. A fantastic way to steal with impunity if you can get it. I can and do.

Now before you start hating, let me use a tired but very apropos cliche. Don’t hate the player, hate the system. Of course it would mean more to you if you could say don’t try to change the players(thieves will be thieves) change the system(it is your government).

I entered the system not as one of those privileged families, if you only knew how many bodies had to pile up to gain one of those coveted seats…….

Once I realized that unless I could play at their table, I would always be a customer in their casino, I made it my goal to own stock in the only casino in town, regardless of the price. In this game of unlimited wealth potential, where wealth is the only consideration, the only thing any of the members fear besides losing that wealth is losing their life.

Since I was willing to play that chip, the only limit in the game was the body count. Suffice it to say, I won enough rounds to gain a seat at the table and a nice % of the FED. But in today’s logic, the new owners prefer to allow others to wear the crown, as long as they never forget who rules.

Yes, it is so true, that those who have the gold make the rules.

Although most americans think the Super Power in the world is the USA, it is not. The British are the power in this world. The USA is simply their enforcer, not unlike the Mafia’s goon squad. They do the muscle work for the British.

The reason is simple. The British once enslaved three quarters of the worlds population. I mean the British were a thousand times worst than the Germans because they gave the white man total dominance over the OTW for a thousand plus years.

They lost that control because they did not control the money supply of the world. Without that they needed man power, boots on the ground, to continue their control over their interest. Other greedy, white powers, capable of putting enough boots on the ground, were constantly willing to challenge the British for a bigger share of the wealth that resulted from the white man’s total dominance over the OTW.

Hence the real reason for all the wars up until someone gave Russia the secrets of making an atomic bomb was for control of all that wealth. After that boots on the ground meant nothing and Russia used the threat of supporting OTW nations with it if the Western white nations attempted to use their boots on the ground to suppress their uprising against white dominance of their nations.

The result was a flood of OTW nations gaining independence by rising up and throwing out their white oppressors. If as in the past other white Western nations(NATO) were to threaten to offer support to the oppressing white nation, the OTW nation could look to Russia who also had the atomic bomb for support.

The oppressing white nation supported by NATO was forced to back down and the domino effect of OTW nations gaining independence resulted. Check your history. No OTW nation gained independence from a white nation’s dominance until Russia got the atomic bomb.

Now you know why the West hated communism so much. The West worked very hard to instill in the conscious of the OTWs wherever they existed under their dominance or influence the evils of Communism. NATO has always been foremost a racist organization dedicated to the continuance of the white man’s dominance of the OTW peoples of the world.

Communism did not care about freeing the OTWs from that dominance, it was just the competing white man’s group for a bigger piece of the rewards that resulted from the white man’s dominance of the OTWs.

Unfortunately for both groups their competition provided an opportunity for the OTW nations to gain their freedom from both groups. Even OTWs who were minorities in such dominant white powers such as the USA were able to force their white oppressors to cede some of that absolute power over them.

The mighty USA could not afford the negative publicity that those freed OTW nations would receive from Russian news broadcast showing how the racist whites in America treat their OTWs.

The implication was obvious. If they did that to their own OTW citizens, what could those OTW nations expect from those white racists. Egypt lead the way with its defection from NATO.

Egypt made it perfectly clear to the NATO that it viewed the organization as a racist cabal dedicated to the maintenance and expansion of the white man’s dominance of OTWs around the globe.

Having lost the largest land army in the Middle East to the Communist, the NATO members informed the US, that unless they showed the world that the white man in America would respect the right to civil equality of their OTWs, the defections from NATO by the new independent OTW nations could lead all those nations wealth to go to Russia.

They made it perfectly clear to the US that they would not support the US in their overt dominance of their OTWs. The operative word was “overt.” So white america made the public gesture of giving their OTWs equality.

I don’t need to elaborate on that sham, most intelligent americans know the sham is still going on. We whites will never cede true equality to OTWs anywhere on the planet. We will only cede what they can take and KEEP.

I say keep with all sincerity. If OTWs become lack in anyway, we as a group are poised to take back whatever is available until we have it all back. Again if you are the OTW reading this, don’t hate the player, hate the neurosis that makes most white men feel the need to believe they are better than OTWs because of the color of their skins because that is what gives thieves live me the power to motivate those white men to follow our lead.

Those of us who use racism to motivate them, DON’T believe that crap. It is but a tool we use to continue looting the system. Rather than wasting your time hating something you can never change, take the responsibility to heed this warning and stay vigilant.

ALWAYS protest LOUDLY, regardless of the claim that you are playing the “race” card, any attempt to push back the rights you have won.

While I am on the topic of rights, you stupid, insensitive OTWs that stand with the white man when he is attempting to limit equality to Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transexuals, and females in general need to get a reality check.

You will not endear yourselves to us because of your ignorance, and bigotry. Remember a very wise saying; If you aren’t willing to protest when your neighbor is having his rights taken, who will be there when they come for yours to protest?

So if you can’t find it in your bigoted hearts to support them for the right reasons, then do it for your own selfish ones. Rest assured when we are done with them, we WILL come for yours.

That was long winded, I know. But if you don’t understand history, you are domed to repeat it. Now let me bring you up to date so you will understand that “something” that controls 99.00% of your lives.

So the original racists, the British looked around for another way to regain control over the all those now free nations. They concluded that since it was all about the wealth that was derived from controlling all those OTW nations, then they need only control the wealth of those nations.

Taking a page from the american thieves who invented a way to control the entire wealth of every citizen in the US with their clever private Federal Reserve System (FED), the British invented the British Bankers Association(BBA).

They needed a system like the FED had to control the money supply, not of a nation, but of the world. In 1984 they discovered most banks had invented a novel way of making money out of mere paper. They had eliminated the need to have real assets to back their investments, bets, gambles, or requests for loans from other banks.

The crooked bank owners had invented worthless pieces of paper to act as collateral for their debts. They called these worthless pieces of paper fancy names such as:
1. “Interest rate swaps”(An interest rate swap is a popular and highly liquid financial derivative instrument in which two parties agree to exchange interest rate cash flows, based on a specified notional amount from a fixed rate to a floating rate (or vice versa) or from one floating rate to another.[1] Interest rate swaps are commonly used for both hedging and speculating.) that would be the definition to read if you care to understand the bullshit used to disguise the con artist’s scam.

2.”Foreign Currency Options”(commonly shortened to just FX option or currency option) is a derivative financial instrument that gives the owner the right but not the obligation to exchange money denominated in one currency into another currency at a pre-agreed exchange rate on a specified date.[1] See Foreign exchange derivative.
The foreign exchange options market is the deepest, largest and most liquid market for options of any kind. Most trading is over the counter (OTC) and is lightly regulated, but a fraction is traded on exchanges like the International Securities Exchange, Philadelphia Stock Exchange, or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for options on futures contracts. The global market for exchange-traded currency options was notionally valued by the Bank for International Settlements at $158.3 trillion in 2005.) again unless you are really interested in the definition used by a confidence man to fleece you don’t fall into the trap of attempting to understand the bullshit being used to scam you. It is a scam no more grand that the standard Three-card Monte.

3.”Forward Rate Agreements”(In finance, a forward rate agreement (FRA) is a forward contract, an over-the-counter contract between parties that determines the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on an obligation beginning at a future start date. The contract will determine the rates to be used along with the termination date and notional value.[1] On this type of agreement, it is only the differential that is paid on the notional amount of the contract. It is paid on the effective date. The reference rate is fixed one or two days before the effective date, dependent on the market convention for the particular currency. FRAs are over-the counter derivatives. A FRA differs from a swap in that a payment is only made once at maturity.
Many banks and large corporations will use FRAs to hedge future interest or exchange rate exposure. The buyer hedges against the risk of rising interest rates, while the seller hedges against the risk of falling interest rates. Other parties that use Forward Rate Agreements are speculators purely looking to make bets on future directional changes in interest rates.) again study this definition of the thief’s scam only if you are interested in reading about how scams like “find the pea” in a shell game originated. It is the very same scam only here the pea is millions of dollars under that shell.

What I am telling you is the British discovered that a giant shell game had been invented by a few clever thieves to steal money from band depositors all over the world. So the British moved in to organize the scam.

Hence the British Bankers Association(bba) established a standard for those interest rates. Not unlike the Mafia Commission establishing the rules of conduct for international criminal organizations.

Hence Libor was born. It is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks

Libor rates are calculated for different lending periods: overnight, one week, one month, two months, six months, etc., and published daily at 11:00 by the British Bankers’ Association. Many financial institutions, mortgage lenders and credit card agencies set their own rates relative to (and typically higher than) Libor.

This small group of thieves control the supply of money that is used by the entire world. They control the interest rate banks charge each other for loans, the interest rates the banks and other lending institutions charge you for loans, and the interest rates you pay on your credit cards.

So you see Libor controls 99.99% of everything you can do. What a racket if you can get it.

I have yet to become a bona fied member in good standing with that organization. The bodies are piling up, but they continue to hold out. Hence, the outing of the thieves by me.

Like the fence who is needed to act as a middle man between the thief and the goods he steals from you to convert those stolen goods to cash the thief can spend, there is another piece to this puzzle. That is a story to be told at another time.

*I*N*T*H*E*K*N*O*W*

Readers: I, like many of you I’m sure, am interested in hearing the other piece to the puzzle. Thoughts? Blog me?

Have a great Monday Everyone!

Good morning!

Last Thursday night my mother and I saw Eve Ensler’s play “Emotional Creature” at the Berkeley Rep Theater.  My mother had no idea what to expect, and although, I had an inkling, it was so much more than I expected.

As I sat waiting for the play to start, I took a look around and “just noticed” that 90% of the audience were women and girls.  I thought, “I know that is a play about girls but I really wish there were more men and boys here.” Yes, girls need to support girls but we have learned that we need support from the males living on this planet too. Males need to be awakened to the plight of women in this world , especially since it is the males on this planet that are inflicting such pain and abuse to women worldwide.

And really when you think about it, many women need to be awakened to the plight of women as well. My mother who refuses to even contemplate getting a computer ( and sometimes I don’t blame her :) reads the newspaper daily.  But unless an international story makes it to her local newspaper or local news, she doesn’t really know the extent to what is happening to women in other parts of the world. (I’m trying to get her hooked on MSNBC, the HuffPo, and so far I think it is working :) And like many when she does hear of something horrific happening to women, it makes her cry, she feels deeply. But then like many she gets back into her own world and it is soon forgotten.

Eve Ensler keeps the plight of women in our faces because these women cannot be forgotten.

In “Emotional Creature” she takes us into the intimate lives of girls and young women, here and around the world, through song and dance and very engaging monologues that ran the gamut of making me smile, laughing out loud, shedding a few tears, to sobbing deeply. The monologues talked of wanting to be accepted by other girls, to a young girl seeking out God to save her clitoris from being mutilated, to the imprisonment of young factory girls who mass produce Barbie Dolls.

One of my favorites was a scene in celebration of the “My Short Skirt”  – what it means to wear one, and just as important what it doesn’t mean.

All 6 girls in the play were on stage the entire time either interacting together or performing solo – they were all amazingly talented and inspiring and so believable you got lost in their emotions…joy, fear, relief….and truly believed what they were acting out were actual experiences that happened in their own lives. They are all Wonderful Girls of the World.

I’ll leave it at that and encourage you to go to the show with your girlfriends…and guy friends…and keep the plight of women in our faces like Ensler. I promise I’ll do my part to not ever forget about these women and girls…to continue to support them…until the abuse STOPS.

******

Howie: Welcome back. As usual you make quite an entrance. How are you?

I, like my readers, are waiting to hear more. I just HOPE that what you can tell us will help, so that we can get Tsarme back to avoid these major anomalies that will occur if Tsarme doesn’t return. I HOPE you and Al are doing well.

Mike, MT: Nice to see you here as well. Let’s HOPE that there is a plan to counter. How are you doing?

David: My pleasure. Happy to help.

Readers: With all the banter about Chris Rock’s tweet, He’s so right on – I say “rock on with the truth”. As always, the response from white America is the same same.

Peace & Love. Can’t we just all live it and give it?  Blog me.

Good morning!

Well…yesterday’s ruling by SCOTUS was quite amazing. Justice Roberts surprisingly pulled through, thankfully. But I have to say big kudos go to the girls on the SC as well: Ginsberg, Sotomayor and Kagan,  the latter two appointed by Obama, let me remind you. I have to say this was a big win for the Democrats, as well as all of the American people, even if the stupid ones who are against Obamacare don’t realize  yet. The republicans are seething and I am smiling. :)

Obamacare / the Affordable Health Care Act survived. It is a historical victorious moment, and one that I am so grateful and proud of. We fought so hard for Obamacare and we prevailed. Congratulations Obama! Ha! His hat is certainly getting filled with feathers.

Speaking of benefits, just in case you’re wondering…just in case you are one of those that oppose, here are the benefits of the Affordable Health Care Act, and what it means for you. Watch a clip from Rachel Maddow’s show last night:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Listen to the full speech given by our president Obama:

Obama Responds To Supreme Court Health Care Ruling (VIDEO)

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama praised the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision that his signature health care law was constitutional Thursday, calling the ruling “a victory for people all over this country.”

“The highest court in the land has now spoken. We will continue to implement this law,” he said, speaking to cameras in the East Room of the White House. “With today’s announcement it is time for us to move forward, to implement and when necessary improve on this law.”

The ruling is a huge win and a big relief for the administration, which spent 18 months and heavy political capital pushing health care reform through Congress. The president has had other achievements on the domestic and foreign policy fronts, but it’s fair to say that the passage of the Affordable Care Act was at the top of his list of accomplishments. That the court upheld the law’s constitutionality was almost as momentous as the law’s passage in the first place.

The political fallout from the ruling seems clear. Congressional Republicans and the party’s presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney have pledged to replace the law with a new set of reforms. And in the immediate aftermath of the decision, they reaffirmed their pledge to wipe the law off the books following the 2012 elections.

The president, for his part, used his address to detail the policy prescriptions within the law — an implicit recognition that the administration has done a poor job selling it to date.

“It should be pretty clear that I didn’t do this because it’s good politics,” Obama said. “I did it because it’s good for the country.”

The president also addressed the court’s decision to uphold the most controversial component of the bill, the individual mandate, arguing that it was essential to making the rest of the reforms work. He acknowledged that he himself had once opposed the idea, only to come around. The president added that conservatives, including Romney, had supported the concept in the past.

“We ultimately included a provision in the Affordable Care Act that people who could afford to buy health insurance should take the opportunity to do so,” he said.

********

Readers: I am so elated over this result. I’ll echo Maddow’s thoughts…with the presidential election coming up, the Democrats need to run with this win. Let’s keep Obama in the White House.

Thoughts? Start flapping your lips and blog this BABE.

Jack:  I understand about people not changing, but to stand by and not say anything to your friends making racist remarks about Obama or anyone else is just wrong. Preferring someone or thinking that someone is better because of the color of their skin is ridiculous and just wrong. I’m not saying that you have to love every OTW or condone what every OTW says or does, but that goes for anyone no matter what color they are.

So, if you friends are complaining about policy that is one thing, but calling Obama a Nigger, spook, etc., is just wrong, and in my opinion unacceptable. I see nothing wrong with sticking up for someone, not because you think it will change them but just because it is the right thing to do. When nothing is said, it is like you are accepting this kind of behavior, which is simple disgusting.

Irene: With respect to the Loch Ness monster, all I can say is “stupidity alive and well”. With respect to comparing muslim women and western women, that is like comparing apples and oranges. I just have to jump in and say that I agree with Zen Lill, Nawzad, and the others: There is no comparison.

Laura: How ignorant can you be? Being gay is not something to cure – it is not an illness….unlike what Michele Bachman claims, you can’t pray away the gay. What happened to god loving and accepting all? There is no “Love and accept all except…”. Love and accepting all means just that…love and accept all.

I’m with WC – we shouldn’t even be having this conversation. We should be “beyond that”. Unfortunately we’re not. And as much as serious things such as the plight of women, etc., are REAL issues to be concerned about, being gay and not be accepted is unfortunately a REAL issue as well. But hey, so much easier to resolve. All you have to do is “accept”…accept the preferences of others…live and let live. Easy. The plight of women…not so easy to resolve, and certainly the control, abuse, murder of women worldwide is unacceptable.

Doug: Are you kidding me? God loves and accepts all. It is you that does not. And you’re logic is twisted. You are comparing two consenting adults, whether it be a man and a man or a woman and a woman, loving each other…deciding to have sex with each other…and comparing it to incest? Wha’at?!

Nick: Right on. How can Peter say how you, a gay person feels…what is your state of being or not,  when he is not in your body and heart feeling what you feel? Aren’t you just sick and tired of people telling you how you should feel, how you should be, and assuming that you have a choice of this mode of behavior? When will people just stay out of other peoples lives and let people live how they want to live, especially when it has no impact on their own lives. Why do we spend so much time in other people’s business…in women’s VAGINAS, when they have no right to be there? How much less conflict there would be in the world if we just let people be…if we just loved our fellow world citizens a little more.

The comments are just deeply disturbing to me, when it is all so simple…so easy to just love, accept, and be amazed at the diversity and differences.

Juanita: Being in the fashion industry my entire life…believe me, I see what you say every day.

Zen Lill: Cute pants but with that kind of sizing I guess that leave me with no size that fits. :( That’s what we call “vanity sizing” :)

Social Butterfly: Thanks for the addition. And yes, I bet they were fun.

Amy: Succinctly said.

Robert,RT: You know how my readers and I feel about you. I HOPE you are OK.

I am having posting issues, so I must sign off and resolve.

Peace out.

Good morning!

This is no surprise. And really…it’s about time.

Breakdown of verdicts, by victim

Former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted Friday of 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys. Here’s a breakdown, by victim, of what he was found guilty and the three counts of which he was acquitted:

• Victim 1: Sandusky was accused of fondling him and performing oral sex on him multiple times, in his home and State College hotels. The boy was 11-15 years old at the time. Sandusky was barred from his central Pennsylvania high school in 2009 after the boy’s mother alerted school officials, triggering the investigation that produced charges.

Guilty of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse (two counts), indecent assault, unlawful contact with minor, corruption of minors, endangering a child’s welfare.

• Victim 2: A boy of about 10 that a graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, has said he saw being attacked by Sandusky in the team showers in February 2001. Investigators have not been able to determine the boy’s identity. McQueary reported what he saw to head coach Joe Paterno, and Paterno’s handling of it contributed to the university’s decision to fire him shortly after Sandusky was arrested in November.

Guilty of indecent assault, unlawful contact with minor, corruption of minors, endangering a child’s welfare.

Acquitted of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.

Good morning!

Okay, so I’m going to be blogging about Eve Ensler again. I know…I know…I have already honored her as a Wonderful Woman of the World. But this girl deserves to be recognized again and again for her efforts and support of all women around the globe.

Ensler’s newest venture? “Emotional Creature” based on her book, “I am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life Of Girls Around The World”. The focus is on what Ensler calls your “girl cell” – embracing your inner girl. She declares that there is a “girl cell” in all of us – yes men too – a cell that we have all been taught to suppress.

Here’s a TED talk Ensler did a few years ago talking passionately about the “girl cell”:

After successful workshops in Johannesburg and Paris (Ruth did you and the girls see?), Ensler’s world premier is right here in my backyard, at the Berkeley Rep. Aren’t we lucky!

Berkeley Rep is proud to present the world premiere of a powerful new play from Tony Award–winner Eve Ensler. Staged by Obie Award–winning director Jo Bonney and performed by a talented ensemble of young women, Emotional Creature is made up of a original monologues and irresistable songs about and for girls. Placing their stories squarely center stage, it gives full expression to their secret voices and innermost thoughts, highlighting the diversity and commonality of the issues they face.

The show started a few days ago and runs through July 15th. This is a show you do not want to miss. I certainly won’t.

And just in case you want to read more, here’s a write up from our local newspaper:

Eve Ensler fires up the ‘girl cell’ in ‘Creature’

Your “girl cell” may need some charging, andEve Ensler is here to help you.

The celebrated author, activist and performer is probably most famous for making the world a safer place for the word “vagina” through her phenomenally successful show “The Vagina Monologues.” Now she’s back with a new show, and it’s all about the girl cell in everyone – men and women.

“We are living in a world that is so bifurcated,” Ensler says. “We don’t trust the heart, we don’t trust the head. Ninety percent of the world is in great hardship, there’s too much violence to women, and it’s time to come to a new place. This new place requires that part of ourselves that is passionate and compassionate, intuitive and emotional. And revolutionary. That part of us is what I call the girl cell. It’s the capacity to be more than we think we are and the ability to connect to others beyond ourselves.”

The new show, “Emotional Creature,” has its world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and is inspired by Ensler’s best-selling 2010 book “I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World.” This time around, Ensler is not the one onstage. Jo Bonney directs six young women delivering original monologues and performing music by Charl-Johan Lingenfelder and choreography by Luam.

The show arrives in the Bay Area after successful workshops in Johannesburg and Paris, and Ensler says the decision to include music and dance happened organically.

“We met Charl in South Africa, and he’s so brilliant and talented,” she says on the phone from Berkeley before heading into a rehearsal. “It just reflects the way girls communicate, to go from spoken word to conversation to song to dance. This is my first time writing songs, and it’s so much fun. To turn words into music is thrilling, and the melodies express emotion in a way that’s new for me. In my dreams I’ve always wanted to be a rock ‘n’ roll singer. This is the closest I will ever get.”

Ensler’s “Vagina Monologues” was a huge hit in San Francisco, running for months in 2001 and 2002 with various shorter reprises over the years. “I always knew the Bay Area was vagina friendly,” Ensler says with a laugh. She laughs a lot in conversation. On this day, perhaps her good mood is heightened because it’s her 59th birthday. Or it could be, as she puts it, her “gratitude for being alive.”

Her short haircut is the only visible evidence of her battle with cancer, which she says was gruesome, and physically and emotionally the most challenging thing she’s been through.

“It’s so true that when you face mortality, everything is more precious,” Ensler says. “It’s like the end of ‘Our Town.’ Let’s recognize life while we’re living it. We need to live our lives more consciously. Wow, look at that gorgeous fabric. Look at that beautiful sky. It’s all because you realize life is so perishable and how easily you could not be here. You move toward what matters because there’s not time for petty things. I hope everyone doesn’t have to go to the edge of death to open their hearts like this. I think art can take you there.”

A catalyst for change wherever she goes, Ensler says she keeps coming back to theater as a primary medium for her message because when it works, there’s nothing more powerful. Through “The Vagina Monologues” and V-Day events worldwide, Ensler estimates that she has helped raise more than $80 million to prevent violence against women since 1996.

“Theater is so present,” she says. “It’s a collaboration between audience and performers, happening right there, and that’s a provocative, dangerous thing. I saw this happen over and over with ‘Vagina Monologues.’ This alchemy happens in the theater, and the show enters people’s bodies, and it changes you. Something changes. You’re inspired and driven to be more than yourself, to be your real self. I don’t know anyplace that has the power of the theater.”

Ensler sees humanity heading in one of two directions at this moment: one where the human race evolves and flourishes, and one – this is the direction she sees us heading now – where we destroy the planet.

“I want girl energy to spread around the world,” Ensler says. “That girl cell must be powerful if we’re all told to ignore it, to suppress it, to change it. But if we tap into that part of ourselves, the more loving, the more resisting, the more compassionate, the more heart-opening part, we have the capacity to create compassionate revolution. We can be fierce and loving at the same time. We need to be.”

Emotional Creature: By Eve Ensler. Directed by Jo Bonney. In previews. Opens Friday. Through July 15. Berkeley Repertory Theatre’s Roda Theatre, 2015 Addison St., Berkeley. $14.50-$73 (subject to change). (510) 647-2949.www.berkeleyrep.org.

Readers: Here’s to trusting our hearts and our heads, and to being more passionate and compassionate and embracing that “girl cell” in all of us.

Hey ZL: Well, I didn’t expect the monitor to be violent toward the kids, as yes, she probably would get fired. But I am glad that she began to stick up for herself against those horrible kids. Have a great weekend!

That goes for all my readers too! Gay Pride is this weekend – Have fun and be safe for all of you participating in the festivities!
