…gone through this or if you're personally aware but it's very murky these people have been after this guy and obviously bill Clinton is some. You know you don't become governor of Arkansas Four times without being in my book, some kind of a monster.…
…then I noticed that the liberals have this thing every Christmas time in Hilton head North Carolina, called the Renaissance gathering and Clinton always goes. So all the right wingers got together at this thing called the dark ages as a satire on the…
…you know, a special meeting of the United Nations with all heads of state attending a complete emergency. Instead, you know who bill Clinton is screwing pushed it off the front page. I mean this is the kind of shit for brains society that we're living…

…the place to look for the ebb and flow of this stuff. We right now are in the early 8th century, early 9th century. Clinton is our Charlemagne, the revolt in Mexico is in resonance with the mayan collapse and going on in the very same area. This is…
…to know where to draw the line but I think we need to be very, very critical of our institutions. I hate this whole Clinton thing because I don't like people who walk around assured that now the world is safe at last the four term governor of Arkansas…
…great white hope this is the good guy. God forbid we should say anything about the bad guy. And not to knock bill Clinton He's just some clown trying to stumble through. But if this is people's idea of radical social reform, if this is people's idea…
…the electrical grid. Anybody who violates these orders a bullet in the head. Well that's the corporate agenda but you know, bill Clinton is sworn to preserve and protect the general welfare of the United States. Not so to do is a more serious impeachable…
…their emotions. Voyeurism is the subtle sin of the age. Not to consume, not to believe these ideologies all of them, from Clinton Liberalism to David Koresh and back again don't believe this stuff. I mean this is all shoddy intellectual goods not to…
…is like being a Medieval Peasant in the 9th century asking about the space shuttle virtual reality and you know the second Clinton Administration it is literally, in principle, unknowable to us at this time. What time wave zero gives you is a map of…
…from outer space yes but what does it want with this? What is it trying to do? I mean is madonna the goal? Is bill Clinton the goal? What does it all feed into? What is it for? Well it seems to me it's a kind of bootstrapping process toward self…
…of million years? What extraordinary set of factors could then set that creature marching down the road toward Elvis, the internet, bill Clinton and all the REST of it? Well you would imagine, or I imagined when I first started thinking about this that…
…transformation that is under the control of the largest control structures in the planetary ecology. In other words it's not up to bill Clinton or skink Gingrich or any of these reptiles. It is not a matter of human decision. It is built in to the…
…is healing in the marketplace. That's how pathetic the liberal position in America has become that it can embrace someone like bill Clinton as its standard bearer. Not to launch into a knock on that I certainly prefer it over George bush but it's very…
…is an absolute resonance to the birth of Muhammad. Really, wow. Here's the ground war, here's the soviet coup d etat, here's bill Clinton winning the election, right there. And then here we are right here. But if you want to go in and isolate that, so…
…here we are right here. But if you want to go in and isolate that, so it's almost like that little bit there where Clinton won the election and it rises up, it's like when Clinton wins the election that's the point of absolute novelty at that moment.…

…time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or bill Clinton or somebody else then you are disempowered. You're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic…

…is spreading panic in the control centers of western civilization and that very soon you can have a real discussion. Essentially, the Clinton thing is just a gesture in that direction but eventually we're going to have to have a discussion about you know…
…change, change. And when you look at the minuscule differences that you're offered and people say: my god you're not going to knock Clinton too are you no no I'm for minuscule change in the absence of any other possibility, but only because I think it…
…talk about business as usual. I don't should I say this well why not? It will be very interesting to see how Mr Clinton does if he's elected president. I suspect that what he exists for is to prove that switching from republican to democrat is nowhere…

…the chicken shit in me. I think if you really want to leave us all behind and bourgeois values and your job and bill Clinton and the ozone hole and all of that behind then if you start taking psilocybin, let's say four grams every three days, I…
…Yeah a birthright to be left alone. This is why it was interesting. You know the debate that went on in the first Clinton Administration. There is no right to privacy in the constitution. It's something we all talk about and assume, but in fact you…
…you advance in social hierarchy, the percentage of smart people does not increase. Let's move to a cabinet meeting of the Clinton Administration. There are as many stupid people truly moronic people sitting in that room as there are sitting in this room.…
