I am Leo’s wife and he can’t marry somebody else anymore. It’s good it’s not true they are together. He is supposed to be with me not with somebody else. He doesn’t wanna take me home. I have money with him and he’s spending it with sh… like that bi… Bar. I write to you to help me stop him doing this to me. He wanted what? Why you don’t know about me?

Like everyone else these days, the virtual Mrs. DiCaprio, nee Bistriceanu, used her facebook page (which has  evaporated into the ether) to vent about her relationship woes. It seems that Leo has also been neglecting his legitimate virtual love child, Jesus:

He is my husband and he can’t have other one in my religion. Check on that sh.t back. It’s written from GOD so they know who’s the wife for real not that sh.t. I can’t do anything about what he wants to be a sh.t with that sh.t or a King in Heaven with me as the mother of JESUS your KING. …HE has to get born second time and Leo is not being resposible for his own duties as a father as my husband. He’s out of his mind wanting that sh.t that is piing and sh.tting on bed. Believe that’s how it is. He wants in sh.t

But this isn’t just your regular story about a celebrity, his wife, their scandalous bedroom habits, and their child of God. It’s a love triangle! You see, before she was virtually married to Leo, Livia was virtually married to Jon Bon Jovi. He done her wrong, but she still likes to remind him of what he’s lost, via facebook:

I have the Bed of Roses in Heaven but you can’t have it with me anymore cause you didn’t want to have what you were dreaming about. No more anymore never. Your exwife in 2008. I am not anymore Never. Never with me

I don’t blame DiCaprio for getting that restraining order, because personally, I suspect that Livia was cheating on him with Brad Pitt. She sounds awfully jealous of Angelina and her rockin’ wardrobe:

She never rocks She just wants to be my monkey about rock She never knew that and she better don’t. She’s pi onherself now because of this so Brad wants her not anymore cause she stinks about what she wants to be now 
You stink you wanna be like me

With a neglectful father, and a mother who’s been placed on a psychological hold, poor little Jesus is alone in this virtual world. Maybe Angelina and Brad will adopt him.

It’s certainly not for lack of trying. Solomon, or Noblefuse as he likes to be known, has

• a WordPress blog
• a Blogger profile
• a Myspace page
• a Facebook profile
• a Facebook group
• a YouTube channel
• several books
• and a website

It’s entirely possible that Sami’s model of lightening-powered Nuclear Fusion, using a Tesla coil and heavy water, is just the thing to cure the world of its dependence on fossil fuels (to be honest, it all goes way over my head).

Mr. Azar feels that people don’t listen to him because he is a “sandnigger” of Syrian origin. I strongly suspect, however, that part of the problem is that he sometimes struggles to express himself:

no wonder global economy dead and verge of global war against Iran Russia whatever for new bounty- OIL- assets as in times before- let us see if a 21st century any better than times past to uncover solution proposed FREELY by their brothers keeper- I don’t think so- I think global collapse is GOOD- divorce rates down now as they cant afford it-yet when times are good- so what even if we have children- now they mutter greed is no good- so on and so forth shall the cousin of the monkey creature known as man walk one step closer to being a child of god- surely – more pain and suffering comes first to balance mans behavior with atheism documented in 20th century- as always- everything meant to be- what goes around come around- always have- always will- WHY- we are an infinite entity bound in this body as we play the game of life- HOW long does it take for infinity to cultivate the monkey body- enquiring minds of the universe want to know;)

Suleiman also holds some rather unconventional views. He believes that he is a messenger of God, and has written to the Sanhedrin of Israel to let them know that he is the 13th Apostle, otherwise known as the Jewish Messiah (I’m not sure where he found that email address, considering that the Sanhedrin last made an official ruling in the year 358).

As the messiah, he proposes to classify homosexuals and atheists and “retarded people”, and has published a 372-page book with the concise and engaging title of Disgruntled homosexuals invent Atheism: If you are a heterosexual atheist You were brainwashed by the homosexuals as all humans are a simple gullible creature until Truth found.

In energycrisis13′s direct video message to President Obama, he presents quite a cogent explanation of his new technology (despite the fact that the last 1:45 of the video show a sparkly glass box). Unfortunately, the message is entirely undermined by  his latest video, Atheists nothing more than disgruntled homosexuals to attack church.

[potty mouth warning]

Not surprisingly, the page is rife with fundamentalist religious imprecations:

• “Evilution” is a hoax from the devil
• Satan in the Vatican, and the Pope is the Vicar of Hell.
• Catholic priests are whoremongers.
• All Bibles but the King James 1611 version are corrupt, heretical and demonic.
• All religions are false.

Stewart doesn’t restrict himself to religious conspiracy theories, though. There’s  a little something for everyone:

• Wake Up America! 9/11 was an inside job.
• The USA is a police state that wants to steal your children.
• The CIA = Cocaine Import Agency
• Vaccinations are killing America’s children.
• Nuclear disaster is imminent. Mankind is destined for total destruction.
• The New World Order is here.
• The One World Government controls the media, and wants to take away our rights and property.
• Abortion is the American Holocaust.
• Terry Schiavo was murdered.
• Homosexuals target children.
• Harry Potter is evil.
• Feminism is evil.
• Public schools are evil.
• Music is evil.
• Government is evil.
• Beer (of course) is evil.

Buried in amongst the technicolour text and horrific photoshop images, is a most telling entreaty:

• Say ‘NO’ to Psychiatry!

Lots of people have had some fun at Basil’s expense, mocking him for his less than polished presentation, and even accusing him of being drunk. There’s a simple explanation for his slurred speech, though, according to Basil himself: he only has three teeth.

Mr. Marceaux.com explains more about his platform on his website, in his second list of things that are important:

WHAT IMPORTANT:
1.Education
a. School violents
b. Add reading of the minutes to the U.S.Congress mandatory
c. Get more of the lottery money to 1-12

2.Equal Health care
a. a free gift program
b. take a look at and redo all mandtory insurance programs
c. See why dental is not in most plans a tooth aches hurt more than a back aches and no teeths depresses people

However, poor dental care and unconventional political views are hardly enough to qualify as Bedlamy. What really earns Basil a visit is the fact that he was found not guilty, by reason of insanity, on seven criminal charges. That, and his hard-line stance on stopping slavery at traffic stops.

Mr. Marceaux.com feels so strongly about slavery at traffic stops that he mentions it no fewer than nine times on his website. In fact, it’s his number one priority on his first list of “Things of important.” He has filed multiple lawsuits related to the issue, according to this list of “Things I done for my citizens”:

2. Filed suit against Governor Sunquest for promoting Slavery in Tenn.

3.. Filed a suit against Soddy Daisy Judge for promoting slaving at traffic stops.

4 .Filled a suit against Chattanooga Free Press, Tennessean, all TV stations , Hamilton [and Cumberland and Bradley] county attorney, D/A for extortion jury fixing,, racketeering, promoting slavery at traffic stops.

Basil also feels strongly that the American flag is not the true flag, and he has taken action for his beliefs:

8 Fix the Flag at Mill Park to fly right at a high cost of 12 stun by stun gun and now it fly right thank to 311.

Given his poor results in the primary  (as a Canadian, I admit that I really don’t know what that means) it’s unlikely that Basil will succeed in his bid for governor. Unfortunately, he was also unsuccessful in his past three attempts, as well as when he ran for the Tennessee State Senate (three times), and the United States Senate. This time, though, there’s strong incentive for voting for Mr. Marceaux.com:

VOTE FOR ME AND IF I WIN I WILL IMMUNE YOU FROM ALL STATE CRIMES FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE!

Paintings are phallic. Penguins (or Auks, or something) are phallic. Signs are phallic. Statues are phallic. Horses rearing up are phallic. Horses’ manes and tales are phallic. Horses’ penes are phallic. The Denver Airport on a snowy day is phallic. The Denver Airport is just really, really phallic.

Now, not to put too much thought into this, but I am a little confused. Listen carefully at around 3:10.

Many pagan religions worship the phallus because it’s a symbol of life. But we know there is a more powerful symbol which negates the phallic symbol, and that is the cross.

Huh. So the Christian cross negates life (and penises). That’s not really what I remember from Sunday School.

Just days ago, news broke that 23-year-old from Toronto had faked cancer and fraudulently accepted as much as $20,000 in donations (Ashley claims it was less than $5000). The story has grabbed headlines in Canada and internationally, and brought over 3000 readers to this blog. Media sites and the blogosphere are abuzz with exclamations of horror, revulsion, pity, and disgust. There are a lot of threats.

Debate rages about Ashley’s motivation. It’s hard for most of us to understand how a young Canadian woman could commit such personal indignities, and betray the trust of so many good people. To those who have lost relatives and friends to cancer (and that’s just about all of us), it feels personal. There seem to be three camps: she’s pure evil; she’s mentally ill; she did it for the money.

Ashley hasn’t been shy about offering an explanation. She’s not only talked with friends and family, she’s also written emails to QMI agency, owner of the Sun Media group and given personal interview to the Toronto Star. At the root of it, according to Ashley, is an unhappy childhood.

Part of her cancer story was that her parents were drug addicts, now dead, who had abandoned her. In reality, Ashley has two parents, both alive, and a step mom. When her dad discovered the cancer story was a fraud, she told him, and the Toronto Star that she was trying to punish her family for her unhappy childhood:

“I took it as an opportunity to make my family feel bad for how I was treated,” she said.

Later, she told the Toronto Sun the exact opposite, that she was looking for affection:

“I did lie about having cancer. Originally it was because I was alone and had no one who cared about me,” she wrote.

“I just wanted (my family) to change their crazy ways and love me and be a normal family.”

ABC news reports yet another motivation:

The young woman… said she did it because she “was trying to be noticed.”

“I didn’t want to feel like I’m nothing anymore. It went wrong, it spread like crazy.”

Ashley  has also claimed to the Star that she is mentally ill:

Kirilow said she has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. She showed a reporter two prescription pill bottles with her name printed on it: one was an antidepressant; the other an antipsychotic that is often used to treat bipolar disorder.

Ashley may have the eyes of the world, but she has lost the support of her family. Frances Kirilow, Ashley’s step-mother, posting here, says that it’s all part of Ashley’s desperate need for attention:

Her family loves her and cares about her. While her parents may have split up when she was young, her mom, dad, stepmom, grandparents and siblings have always been there for her. Ashley is the one who chose to leave home because the rules didn’t suit her….  Ashley is trying to play the victim card again to diminish the severity of her actions. By claiming a “bad childhood” she hopes it will garner her some sympathy.

Mike Kirilow, Ashley’s father, has refused to show up to support her today when she appears in court on three charges of fraud. He told the CBC:

“I want no part of this. She told me to stay out of her life. I gave her every opportunity to do the right thing.”

Interestingly, Mike Kirilow’s refusal to be involved has not extended to the media. In addition to talking to multiple Canadian news organizations, yesterday he appeared in an “exclusive interview” on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Ashley may be mentally ill. She may have done it for the money. She may just be a really bad person. But there’s one clear underlying theme to this whole mess: Look at me. Look at me! LOOK AT ME.  LOOK AT ME!!

CBC Analysis: Faking an illness

History Lesson for the Day

London’s Bethlem Hospital is the world’s oldest institution for the mentally ill. In the 18th century, visiting Bedlam cost just two pence, and was a popular entertainment for the wealthy, visitors to London, and the working classes.

“Lunatics” and those who had been released from Bedlam were commonly known as Bedlamites.

… I was not altogether insensible of the misery of the poor captives, nor destitute of feeling for them. But the Madness of some of them had such a humorous air, and displayed itself in so many whimsical freaks, that it was impossible not to be entertained, at the same time that I was angry with myself for being so. A line of Bourne’s is very expressive of the spectacle which this world exhibits, tragic-comical as the incidents of it are, absurd in themselves, but terrible in their consequences;
Sunt res humanae flebile ludibrium. (Human affairs are a joke to be wept over.)

William Cowper, 19 July 1784

Today, 23 year old Ashley Kirilow finds herself a universally despised woman. She wasn’t always.

For over a year, Ashley was the center of attention. She was loved and supported by a wide group of young friends, musicians, skateboarders and fundraisers. After all, Ashley was inspiring. She was suffering from cancer  (cancer of the breast, the brain, the liver, the stomach); she had been disowned by drug addicted parents; she was raising money for cancer research, and planned to walk across Canada; despite the ravages of her treatment – painfully thin, no hair, no eyebrows, no eyelashes – she was beautiful. And, according to the facebook charity she founded, a group with almost 4.500 members, she wanted to “change” the world:

Impossible is a word people use when they are lazy. Nothing is impossible. You are capable of anything you put your heart, mind, body and soul into. Take your dreams and make them a reality. There is no such thing as a dream too big. ♥

Except that none of it was true. Ashley didn’t have cancer. She had no plans to walk across Canada. She kept all of the money for herself. She starved herself, shaved her head, waxed her eyebrows, and plucked her eyelashes.

Ashley’s parents (not dead, not drug addicted) were suspicious of her claims from the beginning. When her father confronted her, she admitted it was all a lie. In April, when she was supposed to be walking to Alberta to deliver the money raised by Change 4 A Cure, her father convinced her to admit herself to a psychiatric unit. He gave her an ultimatum – reveal the scam, or he would out her himself. Finally, he went to the police.

In a statement to The Hamilton Spectator, Ashley’s father sounds resigned, defeated:

“She has a habit of manipulating people to get what she wants, using people and playing the victim card. She’s very good at it,” he said. “She has a certain lifestyle made up in her head that she wanted from way back when. She thinks of herself as a princess and wants to be treated as such. She demands lots of attention and admiration so, with this, I’m sure she was receiving all the admiration she desired.”

He says he has a message for his daughter: “For once in your life, do the right thing, send the money, whatever is there if there is anything, to the University of Alberta and come clean with people. You have a long way to go to make amends and it starts now today.”

And so, Ashley did something that initially seems surprising, but on reflection is entirely predictable. She went to Canada’s largest newspaper, and admitted everything.

“I dug myself a big hole that I couldn’t get out of,” Ashley said. “And there’s nobody to blame but me.”

In the recent past, she ran a small publishing business dedicated to helping authors get their work published online, and in book form.In 2007, her Service to the Good of Life Publishing produced a fascinating treatise on the benefits of iodine, which not only kills germs and suppresses tumour growth, but also cure hemorrhoids, reduces flatulence, repels flies and cures the common cold (in both people and cattle). [Interestingly, although the book is published under the admitted pseudonym "Dr. Chris Robin," the copyright holder is Mary Jo Fahey.]

However, these days, Mary-Jo is on a mission to save the world. Invisible blue aliens called Sirians have invaded the planet, and are creating advanced alien-human hybrids, with an aim to absorbing Earth into their Galactic Federation.

This is not a War of the Worlds attempted takeover — but a very covert plan orchestrated by the world’s elite in concert with aliens who have had a presence on Earth for a very long time.

The problems cannot be solved until intruders are removed from the planet. This is a difficult task — due to the fact that the Sirians are the most advanced race — with technology that is far beyond the reptilian races that they created. Aliens have existed on Earth for a very long time. They manipulate wars and the economy, cause disease, and harsh weather that causes suffering. They also influence media. Their relatives are the elite on the planet — who control the planet’s resources.

All is not lost, however. Mary Jo has created a website, called God’s e-book. She has discovered an ancient System of prayers that must be said precisely at sun up and sun down in order to be effective. She has also written a series of prayers designed to save the world from the Sirians. There are quite a few there, but an excerpt from Prayer 2 gives a general idea:

Dear God,Thank You for all of Your Creation.

Please Allow a guardian-plus level of Prayer.

Please Remove all aliens who colonize or intrude on other planets or stars — physically, remotely, through agents, or through implants — to a location where they can be restrained — and learn The Law of One.

Please Repair my 3D body, energy fields, cords, space, food, work and possessions from intruder damage — as well as others who have been harmed in similar ways.

Please Monitor predator intruders in descending order of their crimes — and give the galaxy’s worst criminals a proportional amount of work to do in some galactic correctional facility designed to teach The Law of One — that keeps criminals until they master The Law of One.

Please Dissolve all holographic or surveillance technology that manipulates or harms beings in this galaxy and beyond.

Please Halt genetic manipulation on all planets and stars with immediate emphasis on predator species — quickly phasing out all species You have not created.

Please Eradicate alien hand-held as well as space-sized weapons used to harm galactic life — and dissolve implants by the zillions scaling this number as needed.

Please Wake Up those who have been hypnotized — anywhere in the galaxy and introduce them to the Ascension and an Ascension path — blocking any re-hypnosis.

The website lacks a an overall mission statement and a clear description of the imminent threat posed by the aliens, but if you read the Notes section backwards, you can get a pretty clear idea of how Mary Jo got started. I am most fascinated by her marginalia.  In a column on the left side of every web page, the author offers short comments and links on a huge variety of topics related to her theme, including the Nazi regime, alien animals, Oprah, Twilight, the Monsanto corporation, Stonehenge, Greek and Egyptian mythology, Wicca, a variety of books, UFOs and dowsing. As conspiracies go, this one is pretty all-encompassing.
