"Rocky" Was a Dark Horse Too

That’s what we all thought when leaving the special actors’ screening before Rocky hit general theaters. Sylvester Stallone’s gamble paid off big time when few insiders expected much would come of his now iconic movie.

Charles Elson Roemer III  = Seven (7) Original Name of Conscious Direction
Charles Elson Roemer  = Seven (7) Original Name of Conscious Direction
Buddy Roemer  = Four (4) Subordinate Name of Conscious Direction
10/04/1943 = Four (4) = Subconscious Attraction Birth Day and Four (4) = Super-Conscious Life Path Entire Birth Date

The numbers in No Nonsense Numerology - The Code gives a blueprint for confirming if we are on a positive or negative road. In other words, are we learning our lessons and passing our tests? These numbers also show how to return to the positive if having taken the negative road.

Wow! Former Governor Buddy Roemer is a triple Four (4) when using his subordinate Name for his Conscious Direction. He has a Seven (7) when using his original Name of his Conscious Direction. Since "the Third" of Roman numerals "III" after his name equals Nines (9) cancelling themselves out, his original Conscious Direction Name number remains the same as without it.

Probable difference between an original and subordinate Name number, is that names we currently use most likely have more influence than initial names we rarely use. Original names, however, must have influence in how we do or do not achieve our Life Path goals.

Can former Governor Buddy Roemer make an impact much less pull ahead of the GOP field when the powerful media has stacked so much against him by ignoring him? Can he pull ahead like Secretariat if voters get to see Buddy being Buddy when others fail to ignite passion? Media, however, is now giving Roemer a second look. Will he run out and off the political stage, or can he shoulder through others to pass the finish line first?

In an earlier blog I, numerically, checked out Buddy Roemer after seeing him on The Colbert Report since almost allowing myself to become smitten. No longer being a dewy-eyed youngster, well worn by the 2000 presidential theft, and too many broken promises, I said in my blog, A Political Turn in the Road:


I checked on the Internet under "Buddy Roemer scandals" to be fair since I did so for the Copycat Cowboy, blog when asked to analyze Governor Rick Perry’s numbers. If the scandal is that media is ignoring him because of his $100 limit and full-disclosure contribution policies then that is scandalous, but I found none on his part. Initially, however, when few were running, Roemer did get press. The reviews found his old preacher style oratory inspiring. They appreciated his conservative views. Personally, unless someone is so radically conservative as to turn this country into a Theocracy, I don’t care about his or her personal beliefs if they practice separation of church and state. We all have religious or spiritual notions that conflict with those of others. I find it more important to have uncorrupted candidates in office.

Being uncorrupted is what Governor Roemer is selling. Simply stating, his numbers confirm that he is on the positive side by what we see of his actions. What more do I need to say? Whoa Trigger! You don’t expect me to give pronouncements when I went to lengths to analyze and reveal how I came to numerical conclusions in No Nonsense Numerology-The Code? I didn’t want to cheat anyone about my numerology conclusions for my book and I don’t now.

Does former Governor Charles Elson Roemer III feel that way? Does he too not want to cheat others? By his lifetime of actions, he is definitely on the positive side of numbers. Nor do we see from his actions that he is in transition to the positive side, but came to this life already pure-hearted. Importantly, since the Seven (7) is in his Conscious Direction number of his original Name, he is aware of this attribute. The Four (4) of his subordinate Name Conscious Direction number coupled with the two Fours (4) of the other Significancy numbers imbues stubborn resolve. This makes him a fighter.

His demeanor is not of one who is angry and vindictive, wanting to (Do Venom) to others as a negative tier of Four (4). He radiates positiveness coming from a secure core. The (Moved) tier warns of inflexibility. Unlike opponent, Rick Perry who has conflicting numbers and goes between flip-flopping and obstinacy depending upon his wants, Governor Roemer has no such trepidations. Roemer’s numbers stick to their guns, especially on matters of principle from being a positive Seven (7), making ethics very important to him.

What Roemer resolves to do is the question. He’s told us. He wants to get money out of politics. He isn’t alone there. Many feel the Supreme Court’s decision giving corporations personhood was at the least cockeyed, which is a euphemism for crooked. Since that decision, the country has progressively gone downhill. Governor Roemer’s triple Four (4) gives him backbone and resolve for getting done what he sets out to do.

Whoa! Wait another minute. Maybe because that particular slogan of change was an empty promise, people have decided to change the status quo themselves. This is a wonderful time for Buddy Roemer to ignite imaginations that even honest government is possible and connect with protesters. He has. He’s currently the only GOP candidate to come out in their support.

What does it mean to have all three numbers be the same? Having triple numbers can very well mean something negative, i.e., one refuses to learn lessons of numbers, so repeats them. To the contrary, it may also mean that one fashioned his or her numbers purposefully in the Super-Conscious realm for particular character qualities.

With all the skullduggery in electing Presidents in the last decade, no one can predict what chance Buddy Roemer will have in becoming President. Nevertheless, his numbers surely help him. In an uncorrupted world he is unbeatable because he can be (Made Victorious) with the fortified backbone of his triple Four (4). This gives him steely determination.

That said, his positive Seven (7) Conscious Direction of his original Name works against personal ambition. Spiritual and altruistic Sevens (7) can easily relinquish personal desires in (Why Pig) and (Why Gyp) tiers. He does not seem greedy as the negative (Pig) and (Piggy) tiers, nor does he con others in the direct tier of (Gyp). His campaign message attests to him having positive Seven (7) qualities.

As corrupted as our political system has become, he doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance of staying solid in summer. Unless, of course, he is swept up in a tide of change by the electorate. Unfortunately, he may be the (Gypee) as GOP party organizers continually bar him from debates and polls. If some kind of karma is playing out with a (Doom Victory) or (Victory Doomed) tier of Four (4), we voters could not know this. It is doubtful Buddy Roemer would know this either. Barring hidden cosmic lessons, we need only to vote for the person who reflects our wishes to change the world.

As President Roemer, if he can only "Get Money Out" of politics, he will have changed our country immeasurably for the better. He won’t need to police morals of others by inserting religion into women’s wombs (also making choice a First Amendment issue). He won’t need to return prayer to schools to make the country better on a superficial level. This one issue of freeing politics from financial influence will elevate the country to higher standards. It will eliminate the greedy and lying (Fox) nature of number Six (6) from politics and return the institution to genuine altruism.

This turnaround might become the outcome of the overly-prophesied 2012 end times as a positive beginning, not some negative ending.

So, Roemer Supporters the flag is down and the race is on!

Went to the Horse's Mouth . . .

. . . And spoke to my local Post Master to find the scoop on the Post Office possibly shutting down. Some media aren’t giving the entire story, if they cover it seriously at all. This is a serious matter to Seniors and those living in rural areas. The Internet garners much more information.

[Before I continue, I must apologize. When I found out this information, my DSL filter was having problems. I was trying to get it resolved while doing this post. I couldn’t be on the phone and Internet simultaneously and didn’t know how long I’d have Internet access. I wanted to post it quickly and misspelled Rep. Issa’s first name like the girl’s name.]

My Post Master isn’t certain all offices won’t be shutting down. Other offices have shut down completely that didn’t net more than $50,000 yearly. My local Post Office carriers have moved about 9 miles away. A shell of an office is left. Congressional mandates hadn’t even slated it for removal. Carriers have 12 miles added to their daily routes. Those who did not want to relocate retired early or quit. The estimated savings to this office is the electric bill and possibly the water bill from flushing the toilet. Since an extra 12 miles is added to each carrier’s route, because mileage determines their salaries, it is doubtful they are seeing any savings, according to my Post Master.

My local Post Office isn’t the only one affected. People living in rural areas are having to go many miles more to get services, sometimes over treacherous road conditions during winters.

The Post Master verified that they make profits entirely from postage. "The Post Office takes not one red cent from taxpayers." However, Congress mandates they prepay healthcare for retirees by $5 billion "every quarter." [The union article says, $5.5 billion yearly.] "[They] pay this money to Congress."

Does this sound like thugs blackmailing shopkeepers to protect them, so that they won’t hurt them? According to the Post Master, the Post Office overpaid their fund by $55 billion dollars, putting it into a surplus. "Congress refuses to give the money back." In other words, Congress is stealing this money just as they have Social Security when raiding it to pay for wars and other pet projects. This is what is causing the Post Office financial situation.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the chairperson of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has introduced a bill, H.R. 2309. APWU President Cliff Guffey says that the bill is, "a reckless assault on postal workers and the Postal Service." The bill orders drastic closures of $2 billion the first two years.

He goes on to say, "Incredibly, it fails to address the main cause of the Postal Service’s financial difficulties — the unique mandate that requires the USPS to pre-fund the healthcare benefits of future retirees, at a cost of more than $5.5 billion per year," Guffey continues, "It also completely ignores the fact that the USPS has massive surpluses in its pension accounts." The union president feels that the overpayments can be used to solve the cash crisis.

"Rep. Issa insists that the legislation is designed to avoid a ‘bailout,’ but nothing could be further from the truth," Guffey said. "In fact, the federal government [Congress] is holding billions of dollars of excess postal payments to FERS and CSRS."

According to the article, "The USPS has a surplus of $6.9 billion in its Federal Employee Retirement System account, and, according to two independent actuarial studies, has overpaid the Civil Service Retirement System account by $50 billion to $75 billion."

"We must let them know that we support an alternate bill, H.R. 1351, which would address the cause of the USPS financial crisis without slashing service and without eliminating collective bargaining rights," Guffey said.

This appears another GOP effort to end collective bargaining. It creates a "solvency authority" with the power to unilaterally modify collective bargaining agreements any time the USPS defaults on "any obligation to the federal government for more than 30 days."

"The solvency board would be empowered to cut wages, abolish benefits, and end our protection against layoffs," he said.

In addition, at the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreements, the bill would increase employees’ costs for healthcare coverage and life insurance, and eliminate the right to bargain over these benefits. It also would allow the USPS to end Saturday delivery.

It seems that the GOP is trying to end federal government entirely, except their jobs. The Post Office operates like a private entity, but with Congressional oversight. This is bad business. The Postal Service needs autonomy from Congressional oversight

Congress is playing with the lives of citizens, who aren’t on the Internet, don’t pay bills via the Internet if they are on it. As well they are playing with businesses who still sell products using catalogues. They are not only playing with the lives of little children who love to get real cards from Grandma that includes $5, but with the greeting card makers. This also affects many other businesses as well state and local governments who send tax and DMV notifications using the Post Office.

H.R. 1351, introduced by Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), would correct the over-funding of the pension accounts. It would let the agency use the pension surplus to meet its retiree health benefits pre-funding obligation.

"H.R. 1351 would restore financial stability to the Postal Service,"Guffey said, "without putting any burden on American taxpayers."

I called my Congresspersons to support H.R. 1351. We all need to.

The Overview

[This text in this post was taken off. It was my initial post. So, I edited it to reinsert and it is coming up on today's posting.]

The Pythagorean method aligns the alphabet beneath numbers from One (1) through Nine (9). The alphabet that he used was Greek. Obviously, those letters have nothing to do with the Latin/Anglo-Saxon alphabet that the English language uses. Following his methodology as the father of numerology, I placed our alphabet beneath Arabic numbers.

In all of my research, I found no scrutiny of the letters beneath the numbers that define them. Why connect letters to numbers otherwise? I called the letters beneath each number tiers since finding complete definitions required using every possible alignment. For example Number One (1) has tiers: (ajs) (asj) (jas) (jsa) (saj) (sja). Using a set of criteria, I found what I called word patterns for each tier that gave definitions of each number.

In my research, I also found who placed the final alphabet, which deals with the final definitions. Whether or not they consciously placed them is unknown. Christian missionaries who placed much of the alphabet had more to do with these definitions than Pythagoras did.

We have three Significancy numbers: Life Path, Attraction, and Direction. The Life Path number consists of the Entire Birth Date. The Attraction equals the Birth Day, and the Direction number is our birth Name. We also have subordinate Name numbers that include married names, professional names, and any current name.
Significancy numbers reflect aspects of our psyche. The Life Path number comes from the Super-Conscious realm. The Attraction number is from the Subconscious realm, and Direction number is from the Conscious realm. The first two numbers are immutable, i.e., we cannot change them, whereas, we can change the Name number through Conscious Direction.

Each number from One (1) through Nine (9) has specific definitions that begin with the (Jackass) and come full-circle to be the (Sage): when (I Rise) if taking the positive route through numbers.

Future blogs will explore numbers in this method of "No Nonsense Numerology—The Code" and will relate them to other methods and myths.

Confronting Myths and Falsehoods

In her well-documented book, The Way We Never Were (American Families and the Nostalgia Trap), Stephanie Coontz dispels our cherished childhood notions for the fiction they were. The ideal family of Leave it to Beaver never existed in the real world. We did have rugged individualists, but as a self-indulgent rarity. Basic Books originally published her nonfiction treatise in 1992 that characterized familial myths from America’s inception through the 1980s. Her 2000 edition reflects life through the end of the century in her Introduction.

Obviously this book is not a new release. Inexpensive and wonderful gems can be found in secondhand stores. Ms. Coontz’ book is one of those gems that unravels the stark unvarnished and often frightening truth of our societal past that we may be reluctant to recall.

Having grown up in the fifties, I knew Donna and Alex Reed, June and Ward Cleaver, Margaret and Jim Anderson were not typical imitations of life. Nevertheless, as in the song Somewhere Out There sung by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram from the movie An American Tail my siblings and I hoped. We knew otherwise, of course. Nevertheless, we fantasized that parents appeased all childish mishaps and arguments with a stern, yet fair admonishment to go to our rooms. Then after a reasonable time would be presented with cocoa and a warm smile. I felt that because Wally and the Beaver existed, even if in fiction, so did optimism of favorable endings. Somewhere. I carry this optimism with me that all things, untoward, will work out for the better.

I feel sorry for today’s youth. They too are growing up with the bomb, but with no desk to hide beneath to assuage any nightmarish images. As youngsters, we never had the World Trade Center, two of them, and the freedom-crippling Patriot Act aftermath of the second, removing all optimism of rainbows at the end. Moreover, adolescents now have end-time-clabber cluttering the airwaves.

One of the biggest myths perpetuated from our decade long militarization, depleting America’s treasure, is that social safety nets never existed before FDR dug America out of the Great Depression. According to Coontz, they have always existed in one fashion or another.

Without safety nets like Social Security, the elderly would be living with their children when too decrepit to work, eliminating all hope of personal autonomy for young adults. Without Social Security the healthy elderly whose pensions, Wall Street thieves stole, would work until their fingers fell off, never experiencing a free breath of liberty with their own thoughts. That is, if they can find jobs when companies aren’t even hiring young people. With no Social Security, the disabled would die in the streets, or perhaps along with the general poor and elderly live in tent cities. We still have them today in rural area just outside small towns. Tent towns would proliferate numerously.

Social Security and other safety net programs protect older women from having to live with abusive men just for a roof over their heads. In the not so distant past, women were forced to stay with angry and hate filled men whose violence often ended in their mutilation and death. Women and men still talk themselves into "love" relationships for the security of better finances because the rules of Social Security don’t allow multiple recipient in marriage unions. At least now, individuals are more savvy and don’t get married, but live in common law marriages where one or the other can leave if the situation doesn’t work out. Neither the man nor woman has to worry about where to find their next meal. They have their earned insurance policy of Social Security.

Social Security recipients don’t have to depend upon church handouts as did predecessors, whom churches demanded believe their brand of faith. We know of the dark side where often priests abused young people instead of giving them solace the church offered. The late Frank McCourt’s book Angela’s Ashes graphically portrays his Irish youth in this country and his old one through his mischievous twelve-year-old eyes. Otherwise, it is doubtful readers could suffer along with him, his recounting.

Politicians who postulate about fixing Social Security without factoring the human cost are empty suits who know nothing about the human condition or care little for human beings. Their eyes on the prize of offices they seek blind them to their own greed when they cavalierly vilify the program. Even conservative Republican libertarians who want the federal government out of our lives completely, are promoting a myth. States don’t always do it better. Often local governments and communities were and are far more cruel, dispensing in their brand justice when keeping citizens in line with their edicts than an impersonal federal government. Shackling of citizens in stocks like oxen was not a myth perpetrated by literature such as The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. We have come too far in social justice to return to old west brutality.

According to Coontz, under her sub-chapter The Dark Side of Interdependence: Dependency and Subjugation in Chapter Three:


"As social, political, and economic inequalities emerged in various ancient societies, at different times and in different ways, reciprocity with others was often transformed into permanent obligations from others. Such was the situation in Europe during the period immediately preceding settlement of the New World. The ideology of gift giving and interdependence remained, but most of the population was subordinate to noble families who ruled through military and religious intimidation, imposing a permanent dependence on lower classes and extracting from them deference and obligations that were one-sided and open-ended: These obligations included the duty to produce surplus for the rulers, provide them with intimate personal services (sometimes including sex), furnish extra food when they decided to throw a feast, and wait at their tables."If we return to this world view, cheap immigrant labor will no longer raise children of the rich. Cheap labor of their own kind can raise them. Ms. Coontz continues to enlighten readers about the attitude of elites toward the poor.



"The world view of the European nobility and absolutist monarchies was corporate, interdependent, anti-individualistic—and extremely repressive. The notion of the ‘Great Chain of Being,’ which held that all classes were connected in a hierarchical but organic whole, left no room for the comparatively modern concept that the poor are responsible for their own condition and therefore undeserving of charity or sympathy; but it also left no room for the possibility that they might improve their lot. In Gothic cathedrals, the Great Chain of Being was epitomized in huge carved pillars that depicted saints and fine lords standing on the backs of kneeling peasants."
What kind of world is it that those who are disdainful of the poor, elderly, and disabled see for themselves as they work toward "changing" or eliminating Social Security? In the end, isn’t that what it is all about? Do we really believe those espousing that Social Security is a ponzi scheme, are being altruistic? The world they want is for them. That they should be more powerful and prosperous, and to hell with grandpas and grandmas and lesser beings.

Believing that the average Tea Party member envisions a return to the lifestyle Stephanie Coontz describes is difficult. That calculatingly greedy people with weak egos manipulating them to gain power, is easier to resolve. For the world has become less about compromising to make it better, and more about who has control and who wants control.

Games played by the Republican Congress to thwart all Democratic efforts is proof of this. In evidence is Thursday’s Joint Session of Congress where President Obama genuflected backwards to mollify the Right. He gave even more ground on social safety nets. Even so, Republicans deigned to agree, but that if, it's my way or the highway, according to Eric Cantor, it doesn't work with them. It was precisely that attitude coming from the Right Wing Republicans that held up raising the debt ceiling.

Hypocrisy runs so rampant in Washington that one must question the mind-set of those who seek to control the lives of others through religious or legislative edicts.

James Richard Perry = Two (2)and Life Path = Four (4)
Rick Perry = Six (6)
03/04/1950 = Attraction = Four (4)

[Get full tiers and word patterns for numbers on my post entitled, What the Numbers Represent. To save space, I won’t add them all here, but will mention them as they come up in analysis.]

This analysis is lengthy and complex due to the number of scandals associated with Governor Rick Perry that need documentation for legitimacy. I did not mention all of his scandals. Search "Rick Perry scandals" to expand on what I cite herein.

Life Path and Attraction Equals Four (4):

Rick Perry’s Life Path number of Four (4) is to be (Victory Made) over personal animus, so not to (Do Venom) to others, i.e., vindictiveness is its negative trait. Being (Made Victorious) over personal animosities is through being (Moved) to change so to be free of stubbornly-rooted personality flaws. Outwardly, Governor Perry seems an affable guy when getting what he wants. His campaigning style, however, is to attack and disparage opponents using what he must think is colorful language. With two Fours (4) his determination for winning is great. If he were on the positive side of Number Four (4), he would not resort to these tactics, but would rely on merit.

Four (4) in his Subconscious Attraction number gives Perry extra deeply-rooted impetus to succeed at his endeavors. Success feeds our sense of well-being and ego. When dissuaded, deterred, or thwarted in achieving enterprises, a negative Four (4) of (Do Venom) on this tier can resort to vengefulness. Perry’s comfortable use of scathing language shows he easily adopts meanspirited tactics for winning. Already, Perry’s bulling assaults on President Obama and fellow GOP candidates, shows arrogant disrespect.

Perry’s tongue lashings aren’t limited to opponents. He called out-of-work Texans "drug addicts" who didn’t need an Unemployment Insurance (UI) stimulus because, "This is exactly how addicts get hooked on drugs." The source was the Austin American-Statesman. He turned down federal unemployment insurance funds when he was hyping succession. These remarks against financially struggling citizens seem craven to promote an agenda, especially when he takes stimulus monies for his projects and lives lavishly. He uses this language against out-of-work Texans while bragging that Texas has one of the highest employment rates.

According to Noelle Bell of the Huffington Post, Governor Perry found himself embroiled in "sneaky" land transactions. She reports that they garnered him more than a million dollars while serving in public office. Also, according to Bell, an alleged reputed international arms dealer is the kind of guy that Perry looks to for help in maintaining his fancy lifestyle.

The Dallas Morning News found evidence that a series of professional and personal favors enhanced Perry’s investments. These favors came from friends, campaign donors, and the head of a Texas family who has a history of political power brokering.

During the 2010 election for Texas Governor on Political Live Journal, opponent Bill White revealed Perry’s payoffs to contributors with appointments and favors.

Many ambitious people, especially those in sports have Four (4) as Significancy numbers. They apply the (Made Victorious) aspect that, for these numbers, is for positive psychological growth. Yet, people take advantage of its winning ways for material success.

According to Wikipedia Perry comes from a Democratic family. His father was repeatedly elected as a Democrat to the Haskell County Commission. Perry himself won his first election to the Texas State House in 1984 as a Democrat. Perry was considered an effective legislator. He won reelection in 1986 and 1988 before switching parties to challenge Democratic Agricultural Commissioner Jim Hightower in 1990. Hightower was a popular Democrat, but whose staffers became embroiled in a bribery scandal, making Hightower vulnerable to a challenge. Did Perry switch parties for political expediency?

Perry served as Al Gore’s Texas campaign manager in his 1988 presidential bid, but changed his stance on global warming. Suggesting he'd seen the light on the climate issue, Perry took a snipe at his once friend, Al Gore, "I certainly got religion. I think he's [Al Gore] gone to hell."

People can have genuine changes of ideologies. Perry’s timing raises questions. While running for president, he still espouses the conservative line. However, according to him, scientists who promote global warming are merely corrupt, and only doing so to enhance their professional careers and pocketbooks. He does not accept that different opinions can genuinely exist, but only attributes the worst motives for believing in global warming. Is he projecting his motives onto others? Perry’s comments come from someone with his financial scandals. The text and audio for his speech are on www.blogs.abcnews.com.

Original Birth and Subordinate Conscious Name Directions:

James Richard Perry equals Two (2) as his original Conscious Direction number that represents (To Be Constant), through being (Backed) and supporting others in (To Back) and (Back It). This is also for ideals, not just relationships. Yet rumors persist about Perry’s fidelity and sexuality. No evidence is found to support that Perry’s wife has threatened to divorce him without court filings, www.opednews.com reports. Others think, however, that these rumors are vicious partisan politics to hurt Governor Perry politically. Both parties use low tactics for winning.

In one speech Perry adamantly opposes Government spending, the next, he is suing the Federal Government for monies. This tendency may be in part due to his original Conscious Direction Name of Two (2), showing that he can be indecisive and (Take Back) decisions.

The tier (Moved) of Four (4) in Perry’s Attraction and Life Path numbers helps diminish the indecisiveness of the (Take Back) aspects of Two (2). He is sticking to the points in his book, Fed Up. Liberal pundits feel, however, this is to appeal to the Tea Party to get the nomination.

Fidelity to ideals may not be Perry’s long-suit though it is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to change outdated ideas for better ones. (Constant, To Be) seems more problematic for him regarding ideals than personal relationships of (Constant, Be Two). The (Take Back) aspect of Two (2) breaks promises for various reasons. Some are from being uninformed. When getting older, people do become less idealistic than in youth. Other reasons, however, are less altruistic, but for the advantage of personal gain.

According to Talking Points Memo, "Yet another anti-stimulus GOP governor, who had been hinting previously that his state would be turning down cash, is now accepting the money. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who co-wrote an op-ed piece with South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford about all the things that were wrong with the bill, has now informed the White House that he'll accept the money. Perry is, however, leaving the door open to not taking all of it, as he doesn't want to spend money that would expand existing social programs, and thus trap him into having to continue the increases later on with state money. . . ."

On 08/25/11 My San Antonio of www.mysanantonio.com reported ongoing political bickering involving federal funding for Texas schools. Democrats fired back Thursday at Gov. Rick Perry and Republican colleagues in the House and Senate. Democrats accuse Perry of trying to use $830 million in federal education funds to replace state funds as Texas grapples with budget deficits. Perry accuses Doggett of adding an amendment to require future funding, "It's time for Congress to eliminate the anti-Texas Doggett amendment." Perry said in a statement earlier this week, "And for our hardworking teachers and schools to get the $830 million they deserve." Texas Democrats wrote Perry, saying, "Repealing the amendment would only indicate that your desire is to use federal aid simply to replace state educational dollars as was done in 2009." Democrats say the state used $3.25 billion in emergency education funds in 2009 to replace state funding, ". . . thereby denying an opportunity to support improvements in the quality of public education." Education is another issue where Perry talks out of both sides of his mouth.

Rick Perry equals Six (6) for his subordinate Conscious Name Direction. Six (6) is easy to resolve. One gains his or her desires by developing the intelligence of (Fox) or uses (Fox Of) nature that deceives others for gain. One may use its opposite (Of Ox) nature that works hard at manual labor to get needs met. Politics does not require hard manual labor, though people often use politics to gain power. When on the positive side of Six (6), one is earnest and works hard.

No doubt Rick Perry uses guile to outwit opponents. The Burnt Orange Report has a list of Rick Perry’s Top Ten Failures. Much includes covering up improprieties and bad decisions.

(Ask For) is a negative word pattern of Six (6), i.e., showing one is dependent on material comforts for validation so has developed an insatiable appetite.

According to The Huffington Post, [Texas] is facing a budget shortfall of at least $11 billion. Nevertheless, Governor Rick Perry spent almost $600,000 in public money during the past two years to live in a sprawling rental home in the hills above the capital. This was according to the Associated Press. The Huffington Post, says that the five-bedroom, seven-bath mansion costs more than $10,000 a month in rent, utilities, and upkeep. Perry spent more than $130,000 in campaign donations to throw parties, and many other services since he moved in. All this while Perry asked state agencies to cut their budgets by 5 percent. The Republican House speaker considered furloughs and shortened workweeks for state employees while the Governor’s lifestyle is extravagant.

From the website, Back to Basics at www.backtobasicspac.org, in 2006, Perry ordered all Texas schoolgirls to receive a controversial new vaccine against HPV, alarming parents and the Texas Legislature. Details surfaced about connections between Perry’s staff, campaign contributions, and the drug maker Merck.

If Rick Perry’s Six (6) rested in his Subconscious Attraction, denial would be his burden. However, it is in his subordinate Conscious Name Direction number, meaning he intentionally uses deceit to gain. His record speaks for itself. The Internet is saturated with Rick Perry scandals.

Wednesday, 08/24/11, Ed Shultz on his MSNBC show, The Ed Show aired tapes of Perry talking about being the "Education Governor" when he was first running for that office. Comparing that tape to a recent tape as he runs for President where he talked about getting rid of the Department of Education and promoting Charter Schools. His record on education is that he cut billions of dollars from its budget and hundreds-of-thousands of teachers face layoffs.

Comparing the two tapes, Perry’s Bushy swagger and twang bordering on sounding just as stupid did not seem to exist in his earlier incarnation. The more intense Perry campaigns for President, the more pronounced his caricature of George W. Bush becomes. Other times when he appears caught up in the moment, he forgets his folksy twang.

Governor Perry’s extreme views are not likely to win him the general election. Especially when restating comments as he did recently that Social Security is a ponzi scheme, or that he is going to make federal government inconsequential in people’s lives. These statements that play to the Tea Party are just not realistic for a general election. Is he going to tell independent and moderate voters that his pandering was just politics? Doesn’t he regard voters as sophisticated enough to discern lies when they hear them? His pandering seems hypocritical. He has shown that he selectively uses federal monies when it suits him.

Even more unsettling than Rick Perry, are the television and radio pundits who called him the front runner after receiving only 4.26% or 567 votes at the Iowa Straw Poll. In one report, this tied him with Mitt Romney who didn’t campaign in Iowa, but who showed a mere 3.37% with the same number of 567 votes. Huh? Without waiting for pesky polls, pundits immediately put Perry in the top three when he was near the bottom. Adding those few hundred from write-in votes from the stunt by Stephen Colbert using "a" rather than "e" gave him a mere few tenths more percentage. * Perry still didn’t fall in the top three, not qualifying him for such elevation.

Do some pundits want Perry in the general election to ensure Obama’s reelection? Are some, positioning Jeb Bush, who declined to run, but by comparison seems a sensible alternative to both Perry and Obama? Or, are Jeb and his political family willing to sit it out until 2016 with no incumbent to run against?

Are media pundits pushing Perry for reasons of self-interest? They really must believe negative news is more profitable than positive news. If we had a president, who really made the country better, do they think there would be nothing interesting to talk about?

Try it. We might like it.

* One report had Governor Rick Perry winning 718 votes at 3.62%, including write-in, using "a" rather than "e" if counting Stephen Colbert’s stunt. Governor Mitt Romney had 567 votes at 3.36%.

Thanks Jon Stewart

For the show he aired Thursday, August 18, 2011 on Comedy Central’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart. [It may air again as a rerun on, Monday, August 22, 2011. Or, watch it on Comedy Central or Jon Stewart’s web sites.] Stewart’s adept razor wit put so much into perspective. It is heartwarming to have at least one person stick up to conservative politicians and pundits who spewed such vile vitriol about poor people.

Framing the Issues:

"Animals," was Ann Colter’s description of poor people on social programs. Choosing his side, Neal Boortz harangued, "It is all out war on the productive class in our society, for the benefit of the moocher-class!" He ranted on, "Many of them get so much money in credits that it wipes out any Social Security taxes or Medicare taxes they are paying. They are absolutely on a free ride."

Absolutely? Well, not exactly. Most likely, poor and middle classes pay state, sales, property, as well federal taxes added to their phone and power bills, etc. The power bills pay for refrigerators that 99.6% of poor people "own" [or they belong to landlords of apartments, poor people rent].

Stewart’s keenly barbed reporting left off the statistic of poor people owning computers. It was on another statistic that I commented on in a Tweet. Poor is determined as $22,800 a year for a family of four. This family then has children. Today, children cannot go to school without a computer to do homework. So, poor parents sacrifice elsewhere to educate their children properly. Gee, would "moochers" do that?

Herman Cain wants what he and others call a "fair tax." People will pay no income tax, but 23% federal sales tax on everything they buy. This includes, but is not limited to, federal sales taxes added to other taxes on medical services, gasoline, propane, electricity, rent, mortgages, etc. State and local governments aren’t going to give up their take.

For example, someone subsisting on $800 a month should really be making $984 to break even, giving them no money to save or invest. This Federal Sales Taxpayer will need $194 x 12 = $2,328 extra yearly to survive. If this person lives in subsidized housing, he or she pays about 40% of their income on rent, minus medical bills. He or she has about $480 left for gas, utilities, food, and medicine. Without housing subsidies, more would find housing on the streets. (Those in other countries may think this is much money. They don’t have the high rents America does.)

Is a compassionate government going to subsidize this extra money needed to pay the 23% Federal Sales Tax? This federal sales tax idea might put us into greater debt. Only a compassionate government, however, would install subsidies. Republicans might not care if the country goes back to the days of Les Miserable, or Tale of Two Cities.

Perhaps, Mr. Cain cares, who says he is not without compassion. His program will return a "prebate" check of $230 a year that is about 2.3% of the 23% taxation. Two point three. Poor people paying approximately $320 monthly rent will pay an extra $883.20 per year for housing. They are supposed to find this extra money where? Not to mention, that all prices will increase so corporations can make up for the 23% extra they are paying in federal sales taxes.

Can we count on corporations to recognize that they are no longer paying federal income tax that many don’t pay anyway, so they might forgo increasing prices? If their comportment is anything near the whining conservative pundits and politicians depicted on Jon Stewart’s show, they would never consider lowering prices.

Painting a Picture of a Friend:

I’m honored to call my friend someone whom conservative pundits and politicians would vilify in their screeching rants. My friend agreed that I may extract images from her life, but I’m NOT to use her name. She was clear about that. My friend’s name will be Jane Doe. Also, though similarities between us exist, I’m not Jane Doe.

I’ve got to be fair and say, Jane Doe is not typical. She gives religion a good name. She really does love Jesus, and wants only to live her life as good as he lived his life. Knowing her, I’m sure that she entered this world the beautiful soul that she is.

Jane Doe was not a wanted child. Her mother tried, unsuccessfully, to abort her. She was left with permanent medical conditions because of this. To avoid the beatings and berating, she left home in her early years, supporting herself with modeling and whatever work she could find. Looking to fill the emotional void her unloving parents left her, she searched for someone to love. She ended up having four marriages. Of course, understanding basic psychology, we know that she unconsciously looked for the wrong men who validated the demeaning attitude and language of her parents. This left her with very little self-esteem.

Although she is highly intelligent, this kind of upbringing integrates into the psyche no matter how hard one tries to clear it out. Religion, therapy, or self-empowerment cannot fully purge deeply rooted abuse. Activities do help negativity from creeping to the forefront. The childhood wounds, however, are haunting. They can surface from an unkind word, look, or gesture.

Jane Doe’s fragile face, sad eyes, and delicate demeanor show the hard life she lived. Sometimes her deportment is harsh from a raspy voice of too many cigarettes aging her too early. She smoked for decades to calm her nerves, but is quitting for her health. She doesn’t take pain medications her doctors push onto her, but takes herbal-supplements to improve her health.

Though Jane Doe gets angry when people deliberately hurt her feelings, she works very hard to avoid taking her life out on others. Friends have told her that those who purposely berate her are jealous. She’s working on having a thicker skin. She is grateful for what little people give to her, and always insists on returning the favor twice over. She has a sensitive spot for those less fortunate than she. As little as she has materially, she is rich beyond measure spiritually.

At the age of seventy, and with multiple medical conditions, Jane Doe gets commodities monthly for about 15 other Seniors existing through the grace of social safety nets. Some are veterans. Some were homemakers, who never made their own money, but live on their dead husband’s Social Security. Jane Doe asks nothing for doing this errand, shouldering the financial burden of extra gasoline. It also tires her physically. If one of them occasionally forces her to take a dollar, she accepts it in grudging good grace to allow them to feel good too. She is happy helping other people. This brings her closer to being like Jesus.

Jane Doe shops at thrift stores, and avoids using air conditioning (already in her rented apartment) and the propane stove as much as possible. When a taillight gets broken, the cost of fixing it eats into her carefully crafted budget. To get the commodities for her neighbors, she doesn’t need a busted taillight. Tickets would really cut into her stipend.

Jane Doe also gets frustrated with others on social programs just like conservative pundits and politicians. At least she tries to understand why they sit around all day doped up on prescription drugs. We discussed it.

First, let’s get some things straight about "Obamacare." If he and Congress cared so much about people having healthcare, they’d have given Americans a one-payer system. They’d never put in the carrot for the insurance companies as a Mandate to purchase insurance that he and Pelosi exempted friends from buying. They’d have stressed paying for alternative medicines and procedures that can cure.

Patients have regarded physicians as gods for too long, thinking that only they can cure illnesses. Drug advertisements are incessant. Seniors are hooked on debilitating drugs because some doctors farm patients to make a comfortable living when getting perks for prescribing. One medicine often needs another to counteract its effects and so on. Patients trust their doctors to do what is best for them, not themselves. Pharmaceutical lobbies are too powerful.

No one educates patients about alternative medicine and healing. Most seniors never read Adelle Davis’s books like, Let’s Get Well, or Let’s Eat Right to Stay Fit. However, we now have Dr. Oz.

Not only healthy eating, but herbs are part of Jane Doe’s routine. She knows how to help herself when doctors are willing to give her the diagnoses she needs to get the proper herbs.

Both Sides are Acting Like Siblings:

Are conservative politicians and pundits feeling picked on by others trying to make them do right? They are behaving like siblings crying about the other child getting a bigger slice of the pie. Huh? Isn’t their slice bigger? It’s really about fairness, not who has the biggest piece of pie.

They tell us that they aren’t the privileged ones, but that they worked for their wealth. We’ve no doubt that the paid mouth pieces for the extremely wealthy work hard to give their bosses’ point-of-view. Not withstanding, Social Security and Medicare recipients also worked hard paying into those programs their entire working lives. It’s not welfare. It’s insurance.

Pundits and politicians throw the word entitlement around like a dirty word as though meaning people feel entitled to what isn’t theirs. When it really means, people ARE ENTITLED to the benefits for which they paid.

If the system is broken, taxpayers didn’t break it. Congress stole from the Social Security Trust Fund that is separate from the General Fund to pay for pet projects and never returned the money. That’s what Al Gore referred to when campaigning for president in 2000 when he talked about a "lock box" that Congress couldn’t touch.

Would those conservative politicians and pundits begrudge Social Security if Wall Street could get its paws on the privatized proceeds? Other corporations could do what Enron did—pilfer pockets until going bankrupt, and thus, ending the program. These are the greedy rich whom taxpayers resent, not millionaires generally, though they still should play fair, especially in these bad economic times.

It really is a fairness issue. While families are struggling to stay afloat in these bad times, millionaires and billionaires are basking in riches. Surely, no one believes that families of four, earning $250,000 a year, especially in large cities, are wealthy. Those numbers need updating to reflect the current economy.

Obviously, the ranting pundits, who Jon Stewart so artfully depicted, have no self-esteem. Unless they confess in memoirs, the public will never know why they are so rabidly against the financial poor and middle classes.

My mother’s wisdom often returns to me, "Try to remember, your father had parents too." We get it. Some rich parents of these conservative politicians and pundits didn’t want children either just as poor parents sometimes don’t want them. So, their parents shoved large amounts of money into their little mitts."Here kid. Take this. Go away and don’t bother me." Copious cash was the only source of comfort for children who grew up to become conservative politicians and pundits. Not getting love, they became cynical about humanity. Perhaps, they think even more money will assuage the hollowness in their hearts. They have not learned that money is no substitution for families, friends or even loving pets.

The poor, who in selfish, sibling eyes also use the system just like rich corporations, irk many. However, do we really know what path their shoes walk? Perhaps, like Seniors, doctors also prescribed them drugs that dose them into losing their Life Forces diminished by their parents. Love isn’t as easy to mandate as healthcare.

If the Right will understand the Left, and vice versa, maybe both sides can think of each other as human beings. Yes, people in both financial classes can be a bit lazy. Should both sides agree to try to do better? Because, if we lose our compassion, we are nothing.

So, have I convinced conservative pundits social safety nets should exit? "Okay, maybe Jane Doe can keep her Social Security and Medicare. She doesn’t or rarely uses Medicare anyway." Who decides which of us is worthy? These programs need an unbiased entity, not privatized ones who stand to gain. This is why government does do this best.

Confirmation is a Good Feeling

After receiving a copy of my book that I gave her, my friend Fran was thrilled. Not simply because a friend published a book, but because she too used to analyze the numbers. Her way of doing so was similar to mine. Hurray! Someone else got it! She realized that the letters beneath the numbers meant something—a code perhaps? Fran’s way of doing numerology confirmed that I wasn’t coming from left field. Fran is dyslexic so we are having to discuss much of what is in the book.

Amazon.com had 837 books on numerology the time I checked. More probably exist now. I honestly couldn’t check them all before publishing. I didn’t want to publish if someone else broke the code. I don’t need to hear the sound of my own fingers hitting the keys euphemism for voice. I don’t need to flaunt my ego. See! I’m smart! After all, I could be totally wrong in my analyses. At least with Fran’s and Dr. McCoy’s confirmation I’m not totally stupid either.

Dr. Kathleen McCoy gave me the thumbs-up on how I comprehended the numbers psychologically moving from one number to the next, when taking the positive or negative road. I hit the Mother Load! I didn’t need anyone else to tell me if the book works or not. Kathy’s approval was all I needed. Kathy and I were young actresses together. She went on to get her doctorate in psychology and became a famous author. If you don’t already know, click on her button to find out how wonderful she is. Anyway, I’d found Kathy again thanks to getting back on the Internet Super Highway. I’d pulled over at a Rest Stop for over a decade. My old Windows 98 with missing files that couldn’t get me on it and was good enough until I realized it was going to sputter out. I had to get a new one. Also, I was planning to publish No Nonsense Numerology—The Code and needed Internet access more than one or two hours a week the Library could provide.

I was going to analyze presidential candidates to help the few people who read this blog better understand them. I doubt, however, those from Germany care about our elections. However, if anyone wants to read analysis on a particular candidate, just send me an e-mail or comment and ask. I’ve looked at the numbers for the other "Cowboy" from Texas, and he confirms my method has validity. Nevertheless, if citizens are going to elect him when he is obviously a politician in the worst sense, no hope for humanity exists.

Roman Numeral I and Other Anomalies

The Roman Numeral I, designating the linage does not add a number to the Conscious Name Direction since it equals nine. It only adds a cycle without increasing the number, no matter how many of them there are. When calculating numbers of our favorite male politicians to understand them better, consider this.

Junior, however, is another matter. We never spell the namesake son’s moniker, but use Jr. To be honest, I’ve never quite reconciled this when calculating male names. I calculate Jr., since it is how we add it to their names.

Women have other problems with names. When a woman is married, her married name becomes part of the equation of character as a subordinate Name.


INTERESTING NOTE:

Two currently undecided presidential candidates have at least two Four(s) (4) in Significancy numbers. One has a Four (4) in his subordinate Name, making him a triple Four (4), but has a Seven (7) in the original Name. The other has a Six (6), as a subordinate Name, but a Two (2) as the original Name number. Doing research will garner the answer of who is which.

Four (4) can be (Moved) to be (Made Victorious) over personal animus, or can be intractably stubborn and remain negative. Neither of the waffling candidates seems particularly angry, but a Six (6) can hide this well. Sometimes, however, Four (4) wants to win at material things. Many sports players have Four (4) in a Significancy.

Personally, I am suspicious on any politician with a Six (6). Six (6) has either the (Fox Of) or the (Of Ox) nature. One uses cunning to get needs met. The other uses hard work. The job of a politician is not manual labor, so might fall under the (Fox Of) tier, not the tier (Of Ox). Six (6) in a Life Path gives the opportunity to learn truthfulness, suggesting this might be lacking.

I said previously that I would check out Buddy Roemer. So, I contacted his office from his web site: www.buddyroemer.com, using both e-mail and telephone. I called more than once. Their telephone goes to an answering machine with a voice of a most unhappy sounding young man. I’m sure that others would not trust leaving a message either. I’ve not yet gotten a response from my e-mail, suggesting that he is not taking advantage after the Colbert bump. Buddy Roemer may not be a serious candidate from his standpoint. This is too bad. He made a wonderful impression, at least, on me.

The problem with having Seven (7) in a Significancy number for politicians, is that it makes them totally bad, totally good, or in transition from one to the other, respectively. Mr. Roemer seems like he is on the positive side of the numbers, but unfortunately, perhaps, may not really have a fire in his belly to be the president. Seven (7) on the positive side can easily give up desires.

Mr. Roemer piss or get off the pot. And, please don’t think of that as a California reference. I’m making an analogy, not aspersions. You don’t seem to have any scandals in the Internet searches, so what is your problem? Let us get to know you better. We may decide against you, but you are the one who threw your hat in the ring, we didn’t pull it from your head. Thank goodness that you decided not to take corporate contributions. We want to believe you that you don’t need them. Someone has to prove you are right. It may as well be you. Just do the little things to prove you are really a candidate and not padding your retirement package pockets by being one of those professional candidates who do.

The other waffling candidate (to date) with the Six (6) subordinate Name, might just be trying to fool us all as foxes, cunningly, will do. After all, imitating a previous president is creepy, especially, one so creepy. To copy such a loathed president, who ran longtime Republicans out of the party, seems delusional. This penchant for imitation, however, shows the negative (Fox Of) characteristics of Six (6) that also (Ask For) material things. Therefore, we should wonder if he is in the race for altruistic reasons or personal aggrandizement. Internet searches and news reports claim that his claims are puffed. Remember: in real estate this is acceptable, but in politics it is lying. When his constituents can’t stand him, we should listen.

Those in earlier elections on the democratic side who had JFK haircuts, unfortunately in his case, were nothing like him. A haircut did not get them the presidency. Serves them right. Candidates, please be yourselves. For female candidates, this is easier. They have no frame-of-reference to copy.

I’d say it is about time we did. However, neither one jazzes me. Ms. Bachmann is clearly a nice lady, but her perspective seems skewed. I don’t mean to be unkind, but as a First Man, he ain’t. Ms. Palin’s husband, on the other hand, would be a wonderful First Fella. Her family is what families should be. However, who, is she in this for? Her ego seems thicker than her skin, but at least she isn’t as ideologically bent as Ms. Bachmann.

Already pundits are talking up candidates based on haircuts and personal appeal. When will we stop electing presidents based on physical attributes and hire them based on personal qualities?

I’d like to hear from anyone tracking candidates. We need all the information we can get.

What's in a Name . . .

. . . that smells so sweet . . . or stinky?


At this historical time, we are watching the most vile, petty, and selfish characteristics in many of our federally-elected officials. A comment I made in one Token Rock blog now seems prophetic: "When those who are supposed to be the best of us do not do what is right, the world will die." The Tea Party has hijacked the Republican Party. They are mindlessly pushing this country into oblivion from a fear-based point-of-view, defiantly beating down "The Man," but instead, hurting the most vulnerable.


Those in the Tea Party see the same things that the rest of us do. Congress needs to stop spending our money like it comes from their private piggy banks. Yet, many of those in the Tea Party act out of fear, but they must keep their heads so not to lose their minds. They seem willing to throw fragile people into the street to die in poverty and of disease. This seems feebleminded when making the most wealthy people more so. Are we to return to the days of "Les Miserables" and "A Tale of Two Cities" by adopting platforms from frightened people? When people respond from fear, they cut off information from their rational minds. Instead, they behave like bullies who pick on those weaker than themselves. People in wheelchairs can’t fight back.


To understand this partisan bickering regarding the debt-ceiling, perhaps, we should calculate the numbers of the two parties’ names. What does Republican numerically mean? What does Democrat numerically mean? Below are their numbers with analyses, though they are, admittedly, cursory.

R E P U B L I C A N
9 5 7 3 2 3 9 3 1 5 = 2

R E P U B L I C A N S
9 5 7 3 2 3 9 3 1 5 1 = 3

D E M O C R A T
4 5 4 6 3 9 1 2 = 7

D E M O C R A T S
4 5 4 6 3 9 1 2 1 = 8

REPUBLICAN(S):


This analysis only refers to the Republican Party. Individuals, obviously, have separate numbers, giving them different lessons. As a whole, however, the Party is steering members.


Number Two (2) essentially means learning fidelity in relationships and ideals as in (Constant, To Be), (To Be Constant), and (To Back). To the contrary, Two (2) warns against being needy as in (Be Too Constant) when one is (Backed) so consistently that he or she becomes hooked on it. When one doesn’t have independent thought, one becomes dependent upon others and their opinions, becoming a "yes" person so as not to face the world first hand. An unlearned One (1) who didn’t or couldn’t (Adjust) to life circumstances, might become a (Be Too Constant) Two (2). This person is needy and dependent on others, and may (Take Back) what he or she previously supported in relationship or ideals. Conversely, (Be Too Constant) can make one stubbornly cling to people, also ideas.


Adding the "s" to Republican gives the name a Three (3). Number Three (3) is to (Cull) a (Clue) that will bring them (Luck). People learned to do this or they did not from how well they learned to (Adjust) to life circumstances in Number One (1) by remaining independent in Two (2). Thus, they became dependent from not learning, or independent from learning this. Three (3) is also (Lucky). This makes Republicans a fortunate group.


Republicans are truly a force. If they are operating negatively, however, society is in trouble. If their goals or agendas are really for public-good, they are a force for positive change. When they operate out of ignorance, society is the loser because they prefer group behavior rather than independent actions. Republicans will never contest a bad president, but continue blindly to support him by justifying and enabling his actions even when he destroys the country.


This fused unification doesn’t allow Republicans to think independently because of being too reliant on group mentality. While this might suit Borgs and ants, it isn’t so good for human beings. Clinging so tightly together while mindlessly jumping off the cliff seems at odds with their conservative orientation of self-reliance. They, however, want others to be self-reliant, not dependent on government. This is, however, part of the mind-set that everyone is to act and think alike.


Let’s look at having no government options. First, governments cannot legislate that people are loving. Society cannot force parents to love their children above themselves. Various eras and cultures have tried and still do try very cruel ways to fashion behavior: imprisoning, shackling, lashing, stoning, beheading, etc. Ruling by creating fear only achieves reflexive responses, not genuinely learned ones. Current scandals of mothers killing their children confirm the reality of unloving parents. Fathers beating and abandoning wives and children also supports this fact.


People find themselves homeless and alone for various reasons when also coming from unsupportive backgrounds. I once saw a woman, who could have been anyone’s respectable looking grandmother, always sitting at a bus stop with her belongings in a grocery cart. Concerned, I called Social Services about her. They told me not to go near her because she was schizophrenic and might get angry any moment. Did she choose to be schizophrenic? She got a hotel voucher three times a week. Clearly, that was not enough.


Millions of people suffer from similar conditions that make them harmful to themselves and others. What are we to do about them? Should society just warehouse them in institutions? Public money still maintains institutions. Are we to make them private, so people can farm them by profiting from their misery? We’ve risen above those days. Are we to return to them? What kind of society do we want?


I’ve used an extreme case. However, people who suffer illness often caused by environmental assaults are so ill that no one will hire them. What are they to do—kill themselves—go into prostitution as people were forced to do in the past? These same Legislators have eliminated controls over environmental restrictions on corporations, so they can continue poisoning people. What kind of person gets into government to do this?


DEMOCRAT(S):


The word Democrat equals the Number Seven (7). This is an easy number to reconcile. Either, a Democrat is one who cons others as the (Gyp) from being a greedy (Pig) or (Piggy), or he is a naive (Gypee) who gets duped. Otherwise he or she wonders, (Why Gyp) or (Why Pig) others by conning and cheating them? This Seven (7) is pure-hearted and cannot tolerate the degradation of character in themselves or others when having taken the positive road of numbers. A Seven (7) can also be in transition or transformation to the positive side. He wonders, personally, (Why Gyp) or (Why Pig) are his or her characteristics, and works to change for the better.


When adding an "s" to Democrat, the plural number becomes Eight (8). The six tiers define having quizzes to varying degrees as in (Has Question) about (Hard Quiz). Eight (8) takes them reluctantly or enthusiastically on either material or spiritual matters.


Eight (8) often gives up something material to get something spiritual. The problem with some Democrats in Congress, is that they are giving up what the country needs, so they can prosper themselves from corporate sponsors. These are the (Gyp), (Pig), and (Piggy) Democrats.


As a party, Democrats seem less unified than Republicans. They will often go up against a leader who is out-of-touch or governing the country badly. Altruism seems to drive Democrats’ ideals more than merely cost-benefit ratios that influences so many Republicans.


Yesterday, on Current TV, Ralph Nader advocated that someone go up against Obama from the Democratic Party, or another party. Remember 1982, when Carter received a challenge to his reelection, costing him his job? Will history, repeat itself?

A Political Turn in the Road

Using numbers in "No Nonsense Numerology-The Code," to analyze character is feasible. Doing it thoroughly takes a great deal of observation and thought. Doing a cursory examination of individuals is as superficial as any other numerology method. Fully understanding how Subconscious Attraction and Conscious Directions numbers interact in completing Super-Conscious Life Path numbers is what really makes it beneficial.

A crucial point in these numbers is also revealing whether one is on the positive track or the negative one. Also, they show how to return to the positive if taking the negative. Getting a "thumbs-up" is helpful in growth. We know ourselves if we are negative or positive. This method of numerology verifies what we already know. Whether we are willing to make changes if necessary, is up to us individually.

As an example, I’ve included a brief analysis of President Obama since his actions in office reflect in his numbers. We are all bouncing between the negative and positive. So is any public official. The problem is that politicians want to put themselves in charge of the rest of us. We are not doing our job of holding them accountable. When Congress, namely former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and former DNC Chair Howard Dean didn’t hold, George Walker Bush accountable this led us down a destructive path where real thugs can take over. Of the crop of GOP candidates, Obama may be the only alternative, if no Democrat will go up against him, or no Independent courageously enters the three-ring-circus.

Having watched all of the 2008 presidential debates, I knew one word pattern of Barack Hussein Obama (08/04/1961) is (Take Back) in his Two (2) Super-Conscious Life Path number. (I used his full name to show what to calculate as his Name Direction number.) He makes ill-advised statements that he later must retract. He flip-flops with policies because he has little conviction, likely from simply too little life experience. His speeches are well thought out, but speeches should be since more often than not others write them. His off-the-cuff statements can get him into trouble, e.g., the Nancy Reagan comment. Obama appears a (Just Ask) One (1) for his Conscious Name Direction, while he does (Adjust) to (New) life experiences, making him a young soul. President Obama seems under equipped for his job, but most presidents are. Who can really know the pitfalls before turning the key to that White House front door for the first time? He is (Moved) and (Victory Made) over (Venom Do) of Four (4) that is his Subconscious Attraction number. While important for him to be (Made Victorious) over personal anger, he seems more concerned with winning for his own benefit of reelection than the health of the country. Whether he eventually is (Made Victorious) over personal anger, will show during his lifetime. However, this is his Subconscious Attraction number that theoretically embed qualities of that number. Even while the credit limit debate grinds on, he campaigns for contributions, showing his reelection concerns, before important business at hand. Barack Obama’s subordinate Name Direction shows he has a word pattern of (New) in his Number Five (5). We cannot know if they are in relationships that he (Knew) from prior lives. He seems a (Be Constant, Two) in that no sex scandals exist, pegging him to learn (To Be Constant) in relationships from his Two (2) Life Path. Where he is not faithful, is in ideals. He seems to change them with the kiss of wind on his cheeks to please the GOP. This is why I call him a (Take Back) Two (2).

Finally, commentators are revealing that he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Ever more, he reveals his conservative bent. Especially in this Kabuki Theater of the debt ceiling drama where he pretends to care about protecting the underclass, but seems willing to give away the store to the GOP. Some Democratic Congresspersons are also players in this Theater of the Absurd.

So, what was the healthcare bill all about? It seems like a payoff or benefit to insurance industries more than a benefit for citizens, who must cough up money they may not have to buy mandated-insurance. Of course, they can claim special poverty needs and sign over their lives to the government to pay this tax like Medicaid and SSI recipients now do. The healthcare bill cuts half a trillion dollars from Medicare over a period of ten years. This is odd for some Democratic Congresspersons to say that it is only the GOP who wants to get rid of Medicare. It seems they want to as well. Even more telling, the Administration and some Democratic Congresspersons are willing to make deeper cuts to Medicare to move the Debt-Ceiling crisis along.

In Real Estate, puffing is considered stretching or exaggerating the truth, not out-and-out lying. In politics, puffing is lying.

"Baby Boomers" should be fed-up with constant vilification for their date-of-birth that was not their doing. GOP pundits are constantly reminding younger people, though not stated directly, that Baby-Boomers are to blame for the crisis if the GOP doesn’t get their way. Citizens are not responsible. Congresspersons, who voted for these unfunded programs, wars, and tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires are responsible. They spend monies like spoiled children on a bender with dad’s credit card before he finds out it is gone. Citizens pay into the coffers with their hard earned money. Congress carelessly throws it away.

Voters may only seem unexcited over the current crop of GOP candidates: even the one who imitates the previous president from Texas who hasn’t yet thrown his 10-gallon into the ring and a few others who seem totally deluded. Voters might really find their hateful policies distasteful that vilify seniors, disabled, and veterans, but don’t object to unfunded wars that killed countless innocent people. Fighting terrorism should have been a police action, not a full-blown war.


That said, the media is virtually giving one candidate no coverage because he takes no PAC contributions. He accepts only a maximum of $100 from each person, which he will report, required or not. Former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer replaced Herman Cain on "The Colbert Report," tonight. Even if it were love at first sight, I’m not as naive as I was when younger, so I’m checking him out. Still, this could be the real thing. As far as his numbers, they are unusual. Either he is the real deal, or he’s fooled everyone. If it turns out that he is a positive candidate, I may profile him with a number review.

I’ve gone off on a tangent. I don’t really know how I can explain a book that explains itself. So, I’ve ranted about the state of our country. That is my bent or concern. My Token Rock blog "Recovering the Life Force" sneaks in occasional political comments. This is my blog, representing my concerns with the gloves off. I do realize it is just another lame opinion.

The Best Laid Plans . . .

. . . of mice and men, so says the line in the same titled play and film, "Of Mice and Men," by John Steinbeck.

I intended to write posts on each of the current presidential candidates to show the accuracy of numbers and how they worked. I didn’t feel the need to exploit celebrities and wanted to perform a public service. Who better to analyze than those who want to run the joint?

When I went onto the Internet to verify my findings with their scandals, how on target numbers were to character qualities amazed me. What I also found, however, were the scandals that mostly went unreported by mainstream media. These were not conspiracies or hoaxes. Web sites did have accurate information, confirmed by articles and interviews. Some disheartening comments by confirmed and potential candidates also made their way to cable news shows that made their way to YouTube for posterity.

I thought, "Boy, I really opened a can of worms!" Did I want to continue this? I’d come up with over a baker’s dozen potential Republican candidates. I got their birth and full name information from Wikipedia then put their numbers into my spreadsheet to calculate them accurately. I was now prepared to do research. The deeper into it I got, the more depressed I became. No candidate was squeaky clean. They varied from foot-in-mouth disease explained away as that to outright lying and avoidance by candidates who swear they are pinnacles of truth. Most all scandals dealt with money.

To be fair, some current candidates were not on many people’s radar screens to run for the highest office at the time I gathered information. I didn’t do all of them. The field also thinned itself, so the task would have been less laborious.

I worked on Capitol Hill for a very short time, but long enough to know that these people have machines behind them. The dirtiness of the machines depends upon how materially-entrenched and determined they are to become more so entrenched.

I have worked with these numbers for a decade and a half. I’ve calculated numbers of people I’ve known and met. Sometimes they knew. Sometimes it was for my own edification when I knew that some individuals just had to be certain numbers—and possibly falling on the negative side. I wanted confirmation that my findings were accurate or not. Unfortunately, numbers didn’t lie and my worst suspicions were confirmed that they landed on the negative side. Their actions showed be before ever calculating their numbers. Numbers only confirmed what I saw in behavior. When landing on the positive side, I never hesitate to share the information, or gather what is positive.

May I suggest to the few people who read this blog to search names of candidates, putting the word "scandals" after names. Peccadillos will be found if they are out there, not to mention larger shortcomings.

The previous post in this site gave the word patterns that go along with each number. One can easily understand from previous posts that each number has opposing yin and yang qualities. What word patterns the candidates have landed on are discernable from "What the Numbers Represent," in the previous blog.

The world is far from being a utopia. Who runs the joint determines the state of the world for everybody. To have a better world, we need to become more sophisticated in our selections and scrutinize candidates carefully. Especially, ones we admire so that we remain intellectually honest. We need to ignore pretty faces and fine physiques for those whose hearts are genuinely in the right place, and can back up rhetoric with reality?

What the Numbers Represent

I’m not going to go into details in this blog about how I discovered the meaning of each number. I’ve done that in the book. For future reference, however, I will use this post to show each tier and the word patterns associated with each number. You may want to buy the book to learn how I discovered the word patterns, thus, definitions. I painstakingly logged that effort in the book, No Nonsense Numerology—The Code, to establish that I’m not trying to deceive anyone.

This Method is More Precise

1     2     3     4    5     6     7     8     9
a     b     c     d    e     f     g     h     i
j     k     l     m    n     o     p     q     r
s     t     u     v    w     x     y     z 

The Latin alphabetical tiers define Arabic numbers through delineating the corresponding word patterns of the numbers from One (1) through Nine (9). The last column beneath Nine (9) has only two alternate tiers since having only two letters. The columns of letters transpose, making two or six tiers that have variable numbers of word patterns, which form the explicit definitions of each number.

Interpretations of word patterns within numbers came from analyzing each tier, using the following criteria:

1. exact words that the letters spell, e.g., (Fox), (Wen), (New), and (Gyp);
2. touchstones of pronunciation as the sequences read, e.g., (saj) for Sage;
3. silent or hidden vowels, e.g., (Clue) for (clu);
4. dictionary words for abbreviations of specific letters within each tier that conformed coherently to the basic definition, including prefixes and suffixes, e.g., (Unknown Quantity Question High) for (zqh);
5. homonyms (words sounding the same, but spelled differently and having another meaning), e.g., (New and Knew) for (new);
6. proper word forms such as (Lucky You) instead of Luck You;
7. words modifying the initial word in the tier, e.g., (Jackass) (Just Ask);
8. the yin and yang of each number, e.g., (Fox) and (Of Ox);
9. finally, the connecting thread of ideas linking the numbers to complete a circle.

(Nine criteria were used since nine numbers exist in the numerology code.)

 Each number reveals specific definitions that have opposing meanings, verifying the positive and negative effects of learning or not learning the lessons. Some tiers or steps spell specific words, yet, discerning other meanings as word patterns came through analysis using the specific criteria defined above. This method reveals precise lessons and challenges in the numbers that evolves the human psyche or personality for better or worse. Each number has a specific definition, both positive and negative sides of the coin—reflecting success from learning and pitfalls from not learning. The overall lessons in the word patterns connect one number to the next in a circle of completion––from the fool to the enlightened or the (Jackass) to the (Sage).

Comparing Numerology Methods

Pythagorean versus Modern Methods:

Though Pythagorus of Samos (c.560–c.480 BC) was the father of numerology, he did not directly create modern Anglo-Saxon numerology definitions. He used Grecian lettering and numbering. Describing it simplistically, the Grecian alphabet consisted of letters such as Alpha (Áá), Beta (Ââ), Gamma (Ãã), Delta (Ää), Epsilon (Åå), Zeta (Ææ), and so forth. Greeks used corresponding numbers of cones to delineate an amount from one through nine. Pythagorus also never used the zero (0) for his method of numerology since he created numerology centuries before the Hindu invention of zero (0). Because of this, it is also doubtful that so-called master numbers of (11), (22), and (33) originally existed in his method.

No way exists for knowing the original or exact interpretations of Pythagorus. Nevertheless, just espousing that Pythagorus invented numerology, currently unrelated with his original version, gives it an omnipotent spin that sanctifies it as unquestionable. This makes it seem emphatically authoritative without facts. But, in fact, because of his construction, using alphabetical letters-to-numbers, he cannot be responsible for current numerology definitions.

The existing system uses Arabic numbers with the Latin alphabet, which took centuries more to create from Pythagorus’ original method. Writing for the 1992 Grolier Electronic Publishing, Inc., Maryanne Wolf says, "The first English alphabet came from early Christian missionaries, who chose Latin letters and letter names for English sounds. Other letters, like U, V, W, and Y, were added later."

The modern American-English alphabet became a rhyme to teach school children language with the alphabet as it is known today. The rhyme lyrically recites the current alphabet to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," or "Baa, Baa Black Sheep."

Charles Bradlee copyrighted Mozart’s melody with the Library of Congress in 1835 (some web sites have it at 1834) to create the tune: "The A.B.C., a German air with variations for the flute with an easy accompaniment for the piano forte’ .　.　. ." The song was attributed to Louis Le Maire, an 18^th century composer. According to Grolier, Sir James Pitman, a British educator, collaborating with C.N. Fellowes and D.H.J. Schenck designed "The Initial Teaching Alphabet."

Whoever made the final placement of the American/Latin alphabet of twenty-six letters was more responsible for modern definitions of numerology than was its originator, Pythagorus. Since Pythagorus was Greek, logically, these numbers no longer mirror anything initially created by him. So! Are these men responsible for modern definitions of numerology, whether they consciously or unconsciously designed them?

What Is The Significancy of "Significancy" Numbers?

The characteristics of the Significancy numbers, Attraction and Direction, may be what determines the outcome of the third number, the Life Path that is the main goal of achievement during a lifetime. The definitions of these numbers reveal attitudes, not occupations. How the Attraction and Direction numbers obstruct or accomplish this goal must be based upon negative or positive attitudes, playing out as karmic obligations that some numbers seem to have. Constructing their role is based upon discovering the personal relationship between the Entire Birth Date, Birth Day, Name, and any subordinate Names. Determinations must include the role that the psyche plays in the interaction between the Subconscious, Conscious, and Super-Conscious Significancy numbers.




Entire Birth Date from the Super-Conscious equals the Life Path number:


Since the Entire Birth Date equals the complete date of birth, it takes priority over the single Birth Day number. This makes it the Life Path number when reduced to a single digit. It must represent Super-Conscious motivations coming from more rarified dimensions, generally perceived as spatially higher. This may be why the Life Path number can be considered coming from a higher self or higher consciousness.


The Birth Day from the Subconscious equals the Attraction number:


The Birth Day number, though designated a special day for being the day of birth, is a smaller number than the Entire Birth Date. This must make it lesser to the Life Path and, so, the Attraction number. The Attraction number must represent the Subconscious because an Attraction cannot form without familiarity––first, tasting chocolate before craving it. Therefore, the designation of Attraction seemed suitable. Prior life experiences must then become integrated characteristics that form personality, playing a Subconscious role to the current Super-Conscious Life Path number.


The Name from Conscious Awareness equals the Direction number:


Changing an original birth Name is a voluntary choice. The other two Significancy numbers are invariable, thus, unalterable. The Name is the only number that is mutable. This distinction associates this number with cognizance toward achieving the Life Path, thus, I created the term Conscious Direction for the name.

The Direction number is the Conscious choice that one makes when keeping or rejecting his or her the birth Name to a subordinate one. This Direction number helps or hinders completion of the Life Path if bringing Conscious awareness to the foreground.

Subordinate Names are added to the original Name by Conscious Direction. Because these numbers represent Conscious awareness, the conditions they represent may be known factors, but perhaps, only from the Super-Conscious or Subconscious levels. Birth Names likely play the paramount role in life since they are the original one.
