The Malleus Maleficarum

Image
Recently an acquaintance tried to convince me that the Witch Trials were totally due to social forces. Of course there were social forces at work, but in the end the Evils that occurred during that time frame were the final chapter in the Church’s 600-year war on Serpent Knowledge . She had been completely blinded to some very important concepts. First, this was Christians murdering people, not “social forces” in the abstract. Read the Malleus Maleficarum , the infamous “Hammer of Witches” that the Inquisitors used to determine whether a person was a witch and what to do when the Inquisitors found out they were. It was written by two Dominican priests. In predomininantly Catholic areas, the Inquisitors killed Protestants. In countries that were about equally Catholic and Protestant, they killed Jews. There was a huge collaboration between kings and the Church to get rid of anyone who was inconvenient. This is a good argument for the separation of ...

Soul Killer

Image
Of course the soul is energy. The body – the vessel we live in – runs on electrochemical reactions that have EM fields around them just like any other electrical conductor does. Halo, aura, nimbus. “The Egyptians recognized many degrees of immortality. The Ren and the Sekem and the Khu are relatively immortal, but still subject to injury. The other souls who survive physical death are much more precariously situated. Can any soul survive the searing fireball of an atomic blast? If humans and animal souls are seen as electromagnetic force fields, such fields could be totally disrupted by a nuclear explosion. The mummy’s nightmare: disintegration of souls, and this is precisely the ultrasecret and supersensitive function of the atom bomb: a Soul Killer, to alleviate an escalating soul glut.” — William S. Burroughs & Material, Soul Killer from the Seven Souls CD.

Geotagging

I signed up with a site called Outside.in a few months ago and they turned me down because I don’t have enough geotag info in my blog, i.e. I write about ideas rather than local coverage.

Now Outside.in has changed things so that they can read a feed and include only items with geographical information in them. Testing Hatboro, PA .

Happy St. Valentine's Day

Two new worms use St. Valentine’s Day as bait PandaLabs, Panda Security’s laboratory for detecting and analyzing malware, has detected two new worms, Nuwar.OL and Valentin.E , which use the topic of St. Valentine’s Day to spread. I suppose you could call them love bugs. Both Nuwar.OL and Valentin.E arrive by email with Valentine-themed subject lines. They may even appear to have been sent by someone you know. The first one of these worms, Nuwar.OL, uses an email with subjects like “I Love You Soo Much,” “Inside My Heart” or “You’re In My Dreams” to trick the recipient into opening the website that downloads it. The webpage is very simple – a romantic greeting card with a large pink Valentine’s Day heart. Surprise! Once it has infected a computer, Nuwar.OL spreads itself by sending out a large number of emails to people in the user’s email address book. This activity can slow down both the infected comput...
