Oh to be an alien.

We sailed ahead to July 22, 2003 and reconnected with the girls again in Santa Monica. Only Emily remembered our previous encounter she was lamenting their lost of sales and all the radio stations that had banned their singles.

Again Bita reassured her that if she held true to their convictions that they would be rewarded. Emily asked Bita to beam in if she set up a separate meeting with Mariie. I wanted to nix the idea but I need the love. Besides Adam could remove the memory.

So I let her go to a party held by a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization called Rock the Vote party with the girls.

Oh, we revisited another idol of hers Angelina Jolie. We had visited her in January. It was then Bita showed Jolie pictures of Billy Bob naked with some woman. This time she was tell her that a 27 year old woman should be happy that she is done with a 47 year old leach.

I sat in a corner wondering why we were doing this? Anyway Bita was telling her that she did not need to despair so much over their adopted kid from Cambodia because her lawyer Laura Wasser would work it all out and that she and Brad Pitt would add considerably to the family. She also told her that she would even survive Brad. That was enough for me. I called Adam and asked him to do his memory thing.

Then to change the subject I asked Adam to accompany me to the Iraq war. Adam smiled and asked me if I wanted to see the Bush propaganda machine at work. I said of course so he took me to July 21, 2003.

We entered Mosul while the bombs were going off everywhere. Eight members of the Baath militiamen were holding Odai, and Qusai Hussein and offering to trade them to the US for safe passage to Jordan with the 800 plus million dollars they had wrested from the two son of Hussein.

They were afraid that Qusai’s Special Republican Guard and Odai’s Fedayeen militia would track them down unless they could claim that they were killed by US forces.

We watched as they were turned over to a US military black ops unit composed of military, CIA, and secret men from within the US and other countries. I was surprised to see Anonz present in a US military uniform.

They took both to separate locations and proceeded to torture them to get them to tell where their father was. They refused to talk and were beat horribly. There fingers and toes were broken one by one and then cut off one by one.

Anonz objected and walked out during the first part of the torture. He went in to see two members of group that had turned them in. He interrogated them about where the caches of money were probably located and left to find them.

We had to decide whether to follow him or to stay to watch the torture of Saddam’s two sons. We stayed. I asked Adam if he could do something he said that these two were not getting anything like they had dished out to thousands of innocent men, women and children.

The two were tortured to death, but they never revealed the location of their father. They died July 22, 2003. Their bodies were dragged to deserted battle location in Mosul and the US media reported July 23, 2003 that they had been killed in a fire fight. The eight thieves were transported to the Jordan border and allowed to “sneak” pass US forces and enter Jordan.

Doctors of Western medicine may ask you to stick out your tongue so they can look down your throat. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), on the other hand, find your tongue itself to be of great interest. To the skilled eye of a TCM practitioner, the topography of the human tongue is more than a collection of tiny crevasses and multi-hued surfaces — it reveals nutritional deficiencies, flags the presence of infection and also identifies strengths and constitutional weaknesses that can bring on health challenges.

TONGUE TELLS ALL

I recently spoke with Maoshing Ni, DOM, PhD, LAC, author of Secrets of Self Healing and a licensed acupuncturist and doctor of Oriental medicine who cofounded Yo San University in Los Angeles. He told me that for more than 5,000 years Chinese medicine has consistently used tongue diagnosis as a fully developed system of assessing health. “The shape, color and movement of tongue body, color, and the texture of the coating all are indicative of body function and pathology,” Dr. Ni explained. “For example, a healthy person should possess a pink tongue body with very little coating. In general, having a red tongue would mean hyperfunctioning (an overreactive system, prone to agitation, fast metabolism and overheating) and a pale tongue hypo-functioning.” A tongue with a yellow coating usually indicates the presence of a bacterial infection elsewhere in the body, while a white coating can be a sign of a fungal infection/mucus condition that sometimes leads to thrush.

Dr. Ni said there are many other specific nuances that a trained professional looks for in tongue diagnosis and that there are other factors that may influence the appearance of your tongue — beyond what you’ve recently put in your mouth — including age, the time of day and season of the year.

MAP OF THE TONGUE

The ancient Chinese concept of energy channels, or meridians, is at the core of tongue analysis, just as it is with acupuncture and reflexology. Different parts of the tongue are associated with different body systems and organs. Dr. Ni explained that if you were to look at a diagram of your tongue with the tip in the southern position and the back of it in the north, your organs would be represented in these areas:

Tip of tongue: Heart
Just behind the heart area: Lungs
Center of tongue: Spleen and stomach
Back of tongue: Kidney, bladder and intestines
Sides of tongue, running from front to back: Liver and gallbladder
Changes in color, coating, appearance, etc., are reflective of issues in the corresponding organs. Extensive research in modern-day China has confirmed this ancient knowledge, Dr. Ni told me.

ARE YOU SHARP-TONGUED?

The shape of your tongue, as well as the way it moves, also may reveal your personality tendencies. “For example,” said Dr. Ni, “a narrow, sharply shaped tongue that moves quickly and with agility indicates someone who is impatient and tends toward anger and flying off the handle — people with this tongue presentation are more likely to be Type A. A more lethargic and flabby, swollen tongue that moves sluggishly indicates a person may be more withdrawn, tired and melancholic.” If you want to try to glean some information from your tongue, take a look at the Web site Beyond Well Being, which provides a guided self-diagnosis (http://beyondwellbeing.com/herbs/tongue-diagnosis.shtml) of the tongue based on color, vein patterns, coating and basic characteristics, including cracks and fissures.

While it’s possible to examine your own tongue and make a preliminary assessment based on some common markers and characteristics, Dr. Ni cautions that it’s always best to get a thorough examination by a qualified TCM practitioner, as the nuances of color and texture can be misleading to an untrained eye. And, importantly, a TCM physician will make his/her diagnosis based not only on a tongue examination but also will perform a pulse diagnosis, and combine these assessments with other markers, including what he/she smells, hears and observes. If he/she feels it is needed, a TCM practitioner will not hesitate to order a blood test or an imaging scan if the patient’s condition calls for further confirmation.

Also, Dr. Ni cautioned that you shouldn’t try to “clean up” your tongue by tongue brushing, rinsing or scraping prior to examination by a doctor of TCM, as doing so may mask what’s to be learned. The tongue serves as a barometer for overall health, he said, noting that altering its appearance can impair the doctor’s ability to perform an accurate reading. Note, too, that a simple cup of tea or coffee may bring temporary changes as well, so it might be best to hold off till after your appointment.

Yes even in Guam we have the two faced, double talking thieves in Guam. But sometimes justice is nice.
___________________________________________________________________
GUAM – Deposed senator. Self-proclaimed surgeon. Unsanitary landlord. Finger-pointing radio talk show host. In the ongoing saga of controversy that surrounds political firebrand Jesse Anderson Lujan comes a new twist.
This time the assets of his development company have been seized. Lujan holds or held interest in Cyfred Ltd., developer of the sewer-less Gil-Baza subdivision in Yigo.

According to the Pacific Daily News, the Superior Court of Guam has seized 85 lots at the subdivision and a Cyfred bank account and has frozen another Cyfred bank account to force payment on the court’s 2006 order requiring Cyfred to pay $580,000 for the installation of sewer lines.

It’s been about seven years since Gil-Baza residents brought suit against Cyfred for infrastructure problems, most notably the lack of sewage pipes. And to this day residents are still using portable toilets, according to the PDN.

As a radio talk show host, Jesse Anderson Lujan presumes the role of watchdog for the people and puts public officials on notice that he’s got them in his “cross-hairs”.

But the reality is that Jesse Anderson Lujan has been pretending to have our best interests at heart while conniving and scheming to advance a personal agenda that shortchanges the public he claims to protect.

Years ago he told us he was a thoracic surgeon. But when called upon for proof, he couldn’t produce. You can see how this lack of certainty might be a problem if someone called for a doctor in the house.

Then he tried his hand at the landlord business. But when called upon to finish the project for his tenants he left them high and dry without a decent place to relieve themselves.

It was about this time that his career as a politician fizzled out.

Now he’s on the radio calling others on their shortcomings. But when called upon to be credible, he leaves us disappointed still.

Perhaps justice is finally being served on a man who for too long has skated by on half truths and bluster. And perhaps this is a chance to right the wrong he’s done some folks who haven’t had his same advantages in life.

It is too difficult to get on your blog. I am starting to feel like BTK when he has trouble getting on the Post. I have been writing to your blog for 9 weeks and I haven’t made it on once. While I see the regulars on almost every day. Do I have to join something to get on.

My comments have been all over the board so it can not be what I am commenting on. I know your blog backwards and forwards so I know that it can not be what I said.

Me mates have gotten on, yet you keep me off. WHY?

This is my last try. If you do not let me on, I am removing you blog address from my bar.

Today I wish to address my comments to Alexander Hamilton.

Mr. Hamilton

we, my school follows your exploits and we love you. we are so glad that you did not die. we are like you, we are renaissance boys. we are in a special school for Mensa kids.

We wish they would not separate the girls from the boys but they do. we like you spend many hours trying to connect with our girl Mensa girls. There is this one part oriental beauty that I fancy. I would do whatever it takes to make it happen too. She once hid in her mother’s car boot so we could meet when she dropped off her brother.

Here in England(we are forbidden from telling where we are in the country) we are studying the effects the United States had on the economy. We are very interested about what the motivation was behind some of the financial moves made during that period.

we would be grateful for any thing you could find out.

Kent

I want to know who Bita gets to see. Is she Japanese? My best friend Zuki says she thinks she is. I wish you would allow her to comment.
