THIS IS A LATE POST – ORIGINALLY WRITTEN OCTOBER 9, 2009.  THE BLOG POST WAS MY REACTION TO THE EVENT, THE VIDEO WAS TAKEN THE NIGHT BEFORE NASA BOMBED THE MOON.  OBVIOUSLY, WE NOW KNOW NASA FUCKED THIS WHOLE THING UP BY NOT GETTING THE PICTURES THEY NEEDED FURTHERING THE DISCUSSION THAT SPACE PROGRAM IS A JOKE, A LIE, AND A MTYH. THIS BLOG POST IS A BIT LATE – BUT STILL WORTH POSTING.

VIDEO: QUICKTIME VIDEO HERE. YOUTUBE VIDEO HERE.

Where to start, where to start?  First of all – I’m NOT a scientist.  That might come as a shock to some reading this blog because I do look good in a sweater and I am a bit of a nerd – but – I’ve got a fight to pick today.  A fight.  Fists.  Kicks.  Groin shots.  Hair pulling.  Fuck it, I’ll bite in this fight too.

NASA BOMBED THE MOON.

How the hell was this NOT BIG NEWS when NASA ANNOUNCED they’d be bombing the moon?  I mean – BIG NEWS?  Didn’t anyone, anywhere, at anytime, at any new outlet, on any country,  stop and think, “WHAT.  Really?  The moon?  Like, the actual moon?  A bomb?  Are you sure?  NASA.  BOMB.  MOON?”  NASA made this information public and not ONE major news channel (or news in any medium) really screamed and yelled about this.  NOT ONE.  They announced they were going to bomb the moon to explore it’s surface for water in the middle of June 2009 and the story just sort of went away.

Culturally, and as far as my teachings go – THE MOON IS SACRED.  My peoples’ connection to the moon and what it does for us/to us IS SACRED.  The condensed version of a very long teaching is this (this is in no disrespect to the women’s teachings or the teachings that go with it) : we call the moon – grandmother moon.  the moon is a woman.  the moon controls the water, we need water to live, we’re connected by water/made of water, woman have their “moon time” once a month, “moon time” and the earth’s water and the moon are all connected, a woman’s “water” breaks when bringing life into this world, when we’re conceived we spend 9 months in water, water is sacred, water is life.  BUT.  What happens when you fuck with the moon?  Ya, know BOMB it.  What’s going to happen to the woman’s “moon time.”  Please for the love of all things good – don’t make “moon time” all crazy and weird and shit.  Don’t make “moon time” happen all month because everything is out of whack now.  Please tell me “moon time” will stay “normal” and not turn into a month long woman killing man-athon.  Not a joking matter – making fun of moon time might get me hate mail.  But I wonder the real long term, spiritual effects this will have on our people.

So many questions.  So much anger.  Let’s keep going shall we?

What about the poor man in the moon?  What’s going to happen to him?  If we fuck this up what will the COW JUMP OVER?  I’d like to have grand kids one day and read them that book.  I don’t want to have to explain how a big, white planet “used to be in the sky at night” when the sun went down.  Picture it.  I’ll sound like a crazy old man when I explain it to my young grandchildren.  We’ll be on a porch, in complete darkness (cuz there’s no moon), and I’ll be telling them how things “were back in my day.”  It’ll go something like,  “Ya, ya.  No.  It was a big white circle.  A moon.  Ya know.  I can’t explain it.  It was a moon?  A moon.  Ya know?  A fucking moon.”  The kids run away crying and shouting, “Grampa’s swearing about the moon again mom.  Can we go home now?”

So many questions.  So much anger.  Let’s keep going shall we?

What’s going to happen to the tides of the oceans that the moon controls?  Hey everyone – want MORE tsunami’s?  You do?  Well have I got a plan for you – for just 73 MILLION DOLLARS we can bomb the moon for you to ensure that water floods your land, kills your in-laws, and scores you a few days off of work.

In this day and age, can’t we just realize and try to understand the delicate balance humans and everything NOT human has and needs to uphold so as NOT TO DESTROY OURSELVES?
