Jeb Bush relies on imaginary friend Chang the warrior.

So far, Chang is not doing such a great job telling Jeb how to deal with his kids: George is a vandal and stalker, Noelle a drug addict and Jeb Jr. has been nailed for statutory rape and now resisting arrest. This leads me to wonder if perhaps Jeb's big bro doesn't have an imaginary friend, named Fong the Fuckup, who guides his every move whenever Dick or Karl or Condi aren't around to keep their charge in line.

Jeb Bush has an imaginary friend.

Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society. I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. â€˜â€™I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.'â€™ Itâ€™s a scary place inside Jeb Bushâ€™s head. This insight into his twisted psyche explains a lot. In a 1989 Washington Post article on the politics of tennis, former President George Bush was quoted as threatening to â€˜â€™unleash Chang'â€™ as a means of intimidating other players. The saying was apparently quite popular with Gov. Bushâ€™s father, and referred to a legendary warrior named Chang who was called upon to settle political disputes in Chinese dynasties of yore." O.K. then. Iâ€™ve heard enough. How did these freaks of nature get here? And when will they be leaving?" ======= Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes.

Jeb relies on the voices in his head who come from Chang and George always listen to God who tells him to kill. This is sure one weird family... <img src="http://users.rcn.com/xcentrik/addfam.gif"/> No, that's a very normal family in comparison...

I wonder how Warrior Chang punishes john ellis bush when he lets Chang down? Chang: "you have failed me for the last time john ellis bush...." <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek"> Good god... is this the control structure breaking down and showing through the facade? what a strange thing for a republican politician to say... or is he trying to apeal to the youth thru some wacky anime-style spiritual warrior jive-talk? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"> maybe someone could ask Chang? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

Jeb could be a mind control job himself...with "Chang" as some sort of control mechanism.

Avalon--yes, and let's not forget that Nancy Reagan made no secret of her interest in astrology. So it's not like the Jebster is out all there alone. Good joke re: Eng...may have gone over some heads of younger folks. What I found interesting is that the righties love to make fun of, oh, say Dennis Kucinich's friendship with Shirley Maclaine. So for one of them to seem to allude to a channeled entity is strange. Furthermore, all mainstream Christian denominations (is Jeb Catholic, btw? Embarassed to admit I don't know) denounce occult practices whether Satanic or the supposedly harmless nature paganism cults that believe in spirit guides and channeling. I think if a rightie pol told a church full of fundies that he'd been chattin' with Chang, they'd stone him, and if a church full of Catholics, they'd send out for an exorcist. ======= Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes.

Yet getting instructions from Invisible Jesus is not something that would bother them at all. So it just may be that it's not whether you channel, it's who you channel. And if you have money and power, you can channel anybody or anything. Followed some links yesterday which led to the Creme Maitreya site. In the letters column people kept writing about public occasions when a pair of people had raised questions, or or they'd had contact with someone interesting. They'd then ask, "Was this Maitreya?" The answer was always that Benjamin Creme's Master had confirmed it was indeed Maitreya (or Maitreya and Jesus). Once I got into the rhythm of it, it felt like when you are watching a game show on TV and you shout out in unison with the winners, "It was Maitreya!" <a href="http://www.share-international.org/magazine/si_current.htm">www.share-international.o...urrent.htm</a>

When I saw the phrase "Benjamin Creme's Master...." it made me think of the Cremaster films. These were art films which had some heavy-duty masonic symbolism. I'm gonna do some research on that Cremaster cycle. There may be something insidious in there. I seem to recall a lot of public funds being spent on this project.

Synopsis of Cremaster 3: <blockquote>Quote:<hr>CREMASTER 3 (2002) is set in New York City and narrates the construction of the Chrysler Building, which is in itself a character - host to inner, antagonistic forces at play for access to the process of (spiritual) transcendence. These factions find form in the struggle between Hiram Abiff or the Architect (played by Richard Serra), and the Entered Apprentice (played by Barney), who are both working on the building. They are reenacting the Masonic myth of Hiram Abiff, purported architect of Solomon's Temple, who possessed knowledge of the mysteries of the universe. The murder and resurrection of Abiff are reenacted during Masonic initiation rites as the culmination of a three-part process through which a candidate progresses from the first degree of Entered Apprenticeship to the third of Master Mason. After a prologue steeped in Celtic mythology, the narrative begins under the foundation of the partially constructed Chrysler Building. A female corpse digging her way out of a grave is the undead Gary Gilmore, protagonist of Cremaster 2. Carried out of her tomb by five boys, she is transported to the Chrysler Building's lobby. The pallbearers deposit her in the back seat of a Chrysler Imperial New Yorker. During this scene, the camera cross-cuts to images of the Apprentice troweling cement over carved fuel-tank caps on the rear chassis of five 1967 Chrysler Crown Imperials, each bearing the insignia of a Cremaster episode. Packed with cement, these caps will serve as battering rams in a demolition derby about to begin. The Apprentice then scales one of the building's elevator shafts until reaching a car resting between floors. Using this cabin as a mold, he pours cement to cast the perfect ashlar, a symmetrically hewn stone that symbolizes moral rectitude in Masonic ritual. By circumventing the carving process to create the perfect ashlar, the Apprentice has cheated in his rites of passage and has sabotaged the construction of the building. The ensuing scene in the Chrysler Building's Cloud Club bar is a slapstick routine between bartender and Apprentice. Almost everything goes wrong; and these humorous mishaps result in the bartender playing his environment like a bagpipe. The various accidents leading up to this are caused by a woman (played by Aimee Mullins) in an adjoining room, who is cutting potatoes with blades on her shoes and stuffing them under the foundation of the bar until it is no longer level - a condition that echoes the corrupted state of the tower. This interlude is interrupted by a scene shift to a racetrack, where the Apprentice is accosted by hitmen who break all his teeth in retribution for his deception. Back in the Cloud Club, he is escorted to a dental office, where he is stripped of his clothes, under which he is wearing the costume of the First Degree Masonic initiate. An apron of flesh obtrudes from his navel, referencing the lambskin aprons worn by Masonic candidates as a symbol for the state of innocence before the Fall. The Architect confronts his opponent in the dental suite, fitting the compressed remains of the Imperial New Yorker into the Apprentice's mouth like a pair of dentures. At that moment, the Apprentice's intestines prolapse through his rectum. This ceremonious disembowelment symbolically separates him from his lower self. For his hubris he is simultaneously punished and redeemed by the Architect - whose own hubris, however, equally knows no bounds. Returning to his office, and anxious about the tower's slow progress, the Architect constructs two pillars that allude to the columns, Jachin and Boaz, designed by Abiff for Solomon's Temple. Meanwhile, the Apprentice escapes from the dental lab and climbs to the top of the tower. The Architect uses his columns as a ladder and climbs through an oculus in the ceiling. The next scene describes an apotheosis, the Architect becoming one with his design, as the tower itself is transformed into a maypole. At this point in the narrative the film pauses for a choric interlude, which rehearses the initiation rites of the Masonic fraternity through allegorical representations of the five-part Cremaster cycle, all in the guise of a game staged in the Guggenheim Museum. Called “The Order,” this competition features a fantastical incarnation of the Apprentice as its sole contestant, who must overcome obstacles on each level of the museum's spiraling rotunda. In the ensuing scene, which returns to the top of the Chrysler Building, the Architect is murdered by the Apprentice, who is then killed by the tower. Both men have been punished for their hubris and the building will remain unfinished. The film ends with a coda that links it to Cremaster 4. This is the legend of Fionn MacCumhail, which describes the formation of the Isle of Man, where the next installment of the Cremaster cycle will take place.<hr></blockquote> (emphasis added).

Is Creme Maitreya any relation to Creme Brulee? Weren't Jachin and Boaz the two finalists on last season's "Apprentice"? Is it too late in the day for me to start my own quack religion and make some money off it? Do you think "Church of the Idiot Suckers Who Gave Me All Their Money in Exchange for Sheer Bullshit" is a good name, or will that take up too much room on the business card that could be used for my home, business and PO Box address to which they should send the checks? ======= Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes.

Definition of cremaster: cre·mas·ter muscle (krə-măs'tər, krē-) n. A muscle with origin from the internal oblique and inguinal ligament, with insertion into the cremasteric fascia and pubic tubercle, with nerve supply from the genitofemoral nerve, and whose action raises the testicle. In the male, the muscle envelops the spermatic cord and the testis; in the female, it envelops the round ligament of the uterus. I think this "Benjamin Creme's Master Maitreya" is a clever pun. As you know, Brits are the masters of the pun. I seem to be stuck here....need to get back to work!

Not to be paranoid or anything, but all links to the Gaineville article and others like it have "disappeared." Hmmmm. Try googling "chang jeb bush" and see if you can find a live link. I cannot. From Wikipedia: Chang From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. * "Chang" is a Chinese surname. It is also a Korean surname. Also see this page for a list of people who bear this surname. * Chang is the title of a movie made in 1927. * Chang is a brand of beer in Thailand made by the Beer Thai Company. * Chang is also a kind of Tibetan beer distilled from rice or millet. * General Chang was a character in the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.  * Chang is also a street name for cocaine. * The Chang are one of the Bamileke ethnic groups in Cameroon. * Chang means "elephant" in Thai.
