The Reincarnation of Mad King George (the one who fought against
the American revolution, and against Democracy.) And king george is still working on his karma-- though not very
successfully

- There have been many suggestions over the last 4 years that George W.
Bush has delusions of royalty. He
has been referred to as King George, George
the Lesser and in even
less flattering terms. But
those commentators have missed the point.
Dubya doesn’t think of himself as an apparent heir, he knows
he is the heir apparent! He
is a monarch reincarnated. Just
as monarchs know they have a divine right to rule, Bush too, was
confirmed in this delusion by that Superior Group of Mortals, the
Supreme Court. Some
have an inauguration, Bush had a coronation.
-
- Reincarnation is one of those fascinating subjects that gets strong
reactions, for or against. Most
cultures and religions have embraced the theory at some time and many
still do. To grossly
oversimplify the theory says we come into each life with a purpose,
something to achieve and learn. If
we get it right we move on to the next stage of personal development.
If we get it wrong we repeat the cycle.
Sort of like getting held back a grade, cosmically speaking.
We get several opportunities to get it right during our
lifetime. Most of us have
the “oops, how did I get back to this place in life again” feeling
or recognize we married the same person repeatedly.
If we run out of chance cards then we start the same lesson
again in another life time. For
most people that involves a different life style, maybe
a different gender or set of life circumstances.
The seriously karmically impaired seem to incarnate into almost
the same life, several centuries later.
Presumably they spend the intervening years in humanoid
training school, with tutoring on the side from frustrated Guardian
Angels! The theory also
suggests that we incarnate with the same group of people each time so
that we also get a karmic opportunity to work out personal
relationships as well as life lessons.
Those who really messed up may even come back as another life
form until they work their way back up the evolutionary scale again.
-
- Most of us couldn’t begin to work out who or what we were in another
lifetime. Sure, we’ve
all had that “I’ve known you before” feeling suggesting a
previous connection but that doesn’t give a clue as to who we really
were or the circumstances of that lifetime.
And most of us don’t waste energy attempting to figure out
who other people were. Let’s
face it, most people don’t attempt to figure who anyone else is in
this lifetime, never mind those that went before.
-
- George III of Great Britain, commonly known as Mad George, was the guy
who lost the revolution. The
American Revolution that is, the one where the British Colony ceased
to be a colony. There he was sitting pretty on the throne, doing what
hereditary monarchs do – playing fast and loose with his nation’s
assets and figuring out how to pay for his last political disaster,
yet another war with the French, when he came up with the brilliant
idea of squeezing more dollars out of the colonials. Tax the tea he
thought! Big surprise the
colonials didn’t like it! And
even bigger surprise they didn’t like being occupied, in fact they
were mad as hell and weren’t going to take it any more.
After a few years of bickering about Terrorists and Freedom
Fighters, and lots of brawling in awful weather, the Americans won.
George III of
Great Britain
was booted back across the pond and George Washington became the new
leader. History made
simple! Sometimes the
History for Half-wits version makes parallels really obvious.
-
- George William aka Mad George is described by historians as a “child of
strong feelings and slow mental development ……… difficult to
teach, too easy to command” “tormented
with thoughts of his inadequacy … a curious blend of obstinate
determination with self-distrust” (www.kirtland.cc.mi.us/honors/braden/kinggeorge.htm)
. He found himself a
mentor John Stuart, Earl of
Bute
. Bute seems to have been
a political Machiavelli, someone
who encouraged George’s delusions and, according to historian
Kirtland, “under
Bute
’s influence he imagined that his duty was to purify public life”.
-
- George III was also known as Farmer George at home.
Some historians say it was a term of endearment, reflecting the
pleasure he took in a bucolic life and admired that he talked and
walked in country style. Others
say it was a snotty British way of implying he was slow with a strange
gait.
-
- Back at the ranch, the one in Britain
that is, George continued to fall apart.
Although his minions and handlers were able to cover for him
for a substantial period of time they quit
when he addressed a crowd as “My Lords and Peacocks”.
He was probably right but politically incorrect.
Once declared a liability he was locked up for the rest of his
days! No fuss, no mess and
no nasty impeachment hearings. Imagine
how differently history would have turned out if he had had access to
a teleprompter.
-
- When it first dawned on me George Dubya was the reincarnated George III
it seemed so obvious I thought I must be wrong.
Dubya is the 3rd Presidential George.
- George Washington, Daddy
Bush George Herbert W. and now Shrub.
I wondered briefly if Dubya’s air of entitlement was because
he had been George Washington in a previous life.
But only very briefly, because
Washington
couldn’t tell a lie and Dubya has a gift for fiction and fantasy.
Given the serious intellectual limitations of Mad George it
made sense that despite repeating grades in Cosmic Camp he would need
to keep it simple. Sticking
with the initials GW must have given him a head start as did becoming
George 3rd. Hereditary
monarchs don’t need elections and neither did Dubya.
-
- Dubya’s quaint use of the English language is another clue.
I thought initially it was because he was originally destined
for another planet and that Martian was bleeding through.
Bushspeak, as Dubya’s linguistic style is lovingly called,
has generated scores of books, websites and cd’s.
Another example of economic growth in the Reign of George 3!
These playful and comedic aspects of character were well hidden
in Mad George, but Dubya is clearly in contact with his Inner Jester. Unlike
Mad George, George Dubya has mastered the Art of Spin, in fact he has
taken it to new heights. Listening
to his Coronation Confirmation Speech at the Republican Convention
2004, as he addressed his loyal subjects was a truly altered
experience. Whatever it
was that put the tranced-out expression on the subjects’ faces, and
infused their chants of “Four More years” with conversion fever,
it must be fun to smoke! Fanaticism
inhaled through the air conditioning.
Hari Hari Bushna!
-
-
- Although I have not seriously studied those others who may have
incarnated with George this time around it is clear that Karl Rove is
a beaut who would love to become an earl in this lifetime.
Of course that would depend on
Britain
becoming the 51st State but Tony Blair would probably sign
on for this. I have not
had the time or inclination to figure out who Tony was before.
No doubt his many biographers will.
It should be noted that transpecies incarnation is a
possibility but it is unclear how long poodles have been around.
-
- A reincarnationist lens makes it easier to understand the pivotal role
France
has recently played. Mad
George’s need to bleed
America
financially was not personal, merely collateral damage as he attempted
to fund the endless war against
France
. Sound familiar? A little
friendly fire.
Britain
specialized in unwinable wars with no graceful way out.
Decades of personal vendettas, family feuds and greed.
France
’s adamant refusal to participate in Dubya’s war of revenge and
gluttony not only was the moral high ground but may also have had a
karmic overlay. Would
a cosmic explanation mean we can go back to eating French fries and
drinking our
Bordeaux
without risking arrest for treason?
-
- Mad George wasn’t into oil, but gold was another story.
Plundering
India
for the gold needed to make sovereigns, the currency du jour, put the
country high on the Desirable Colony list.
Of course the stated goal was about saving simple people,
freeing the heathens from their primitive beliefs and offering them
the light and freedom to live the British way.
Mad George didn’t need to find Weapons of Mass Destruction
back then. He didn’t
even say he was bringing prosperity to
India
by buying gold, he just took what he wanted.
The coins were adorned with a picture of another George.
St George, that is, slaughtering a dragon, another peaceful
image.
-
- George III believed he was the Defender of the Faith, a title he used
consistently. How devout
he was is unclear but Church of England ministers were bound by oath
to support the title. Slick
political move, keep ‘em all corralled and gagged.
God was invoked during the Revolutionary War. Just as at modern
football games where prayers are uttered to cream the opposition, both
sides assumed their male God was on their side.
Interestingly what is referred to as The Great Awakening,
galloping evangelism, also began on both sides of the
Atlantic
around this time dividing churches and communities.
Victory over the Brits was seen as a sign of God favoring
Americans. This secular
superiority became a belief that any wars initiated by
America
are, hallelujah, righteous causes by definition!
A belief that seems to have lasted.
We are now moving intoThe Even Greater Awakening, although a
better name may be the New Taliban,
A time of archaic thinking, spiritual stagnation and more jobs
for the Good Old Boys. A
time of reverence for the unborn and the barely conceived, and no
respect for the living. Every
sperm a wanted sperm and let’s hear it for cannon fodder.
-
- Dubs calls himself a Man of Faith, and clearly believes himself to be the
Defender. Contrary to all
evidence in this lifetime, the Pretender to the Throne, is convinced
he is supposed to be there. He
is also convinced that he is directed by God to take his particular
brand of marketable faith to other nations so that they too, can
Worship at the Corporate Shrine. Prayers
to Halliburton or Wallmart will be answered.
And just like the Catholics who periodically clean out their
Saint List placing old stalwarts such as Christopher on leave of
absence, Ken and Martha
have also been returned to the cells – metaphorically speaking.
At least it is a metaphor today!
-
- The greatest thing about being an Absolute Monarch is the direct line
from God to mouth. Unfortunately
if the filter is dirty or the speaker of poor quality we will never
know what the message really was.
Just as the cell phone ad that shows humorous message
distortions until the user switches to a good service we too have
received erroneous messages. Instead
of the elephant voters ordered they got Dumbya, and Dumbo went back to
Disneyland
? Faith
fanaticism is scary, an addiction in need of a 12 Step Program.
True Believers are not content with quietly living their
beliefs, They are driven
to ram them down the throats of others.
As Faith Based control expands, freedom of choice and common
sense goes out the window. Hysteria,
prevalent in those entranced, increases.
We are told Demons lurk everywhere encouraging fornication and
homosexuality. Gay
marriage will destroy the world as we know it!
I wish!!
-
- Pretender George is on his own
Mission
, spreading the Word, across the lands and offering Freedom to buy
whatever the newly freed want from the Corporate Churches, tas payable
to the
US
of A. In his Sermon from
Mt Madison he proclaimed
America
’s mission to “lead the cause of freedom in the new century”.
Archbishop Pataki in his introduction told us that Bush was the
Supreme Being’s gift to
America
. And that God brought
Bush and Fate together. No
doubt the Supreme Choir still agrees. The sermon was a 40 minute
justification for pre-emptive strikes,
America
as the leader in the drama against global terrorism.
It sounded more like “my way or the highway”!
Dissent reframed to sound like treason and invasion called
liberation. Spinning for
the masses, it’s not just exercise any more!
-
- The War on Terrorism, a great strategy to peddle fear and prevent
dissent. George 3rd
has assumed the absolute power to lock up those who disagree
with him or challenge his policies.
And to throw away the key!
He may not have the
Bloody
Tower
available as Mad George did but this comes pretty close.
Remember the Myth of the Constitution.
Say Goodbye! Sell
it to the highest bidder.
-
- “Saving” countries from different cultures, religions and elected
leaders is the new game, carefully packaged as coming from God.
With such evangelistic fervor who wouldn’t get caught up in
the feeding frenzy? Rescue
those countries from themselves, from their ignorance.
After all if they knew what
America
had to offer wouldn’t they want to be another state??
Hail to the New Crusade! And
a few more shots of prozac to the water supply.
Bring on Reality TV, so much more entertaining than life.
-
- Fortunately most other countries do know what
America
has on offer - the Monarch
from Hell, a giant supermarket and more medicated individuals than any
where else on the planet. Suffering
from Reality Syndrome? Zoloft will cure you.
Anxious about your kids going to war – Xanax, it’s the
patriotic thing to do. Restless
kids, up their dose of Ritalin and create more mindless zombies for
George 3rd. Unsure
of how to react to a major disaster?
Go shopping.
-
- We could say it is a strange coincidence there is yet another George in
this picture! The same one that Mad George placed on the gold guinea
– St George, the Patron Saint of
England
. Now how Dragonslayer
George got to be the Patron Saint is unclear, particularly as he never
set foot in
England
. He apparently lost his
head in a battle in the
Middle East
many centuries ago. During
the Crusades Brits were getting tired of fighting another pointless
war, particularly one in which they were being decimated.
Their Leader was not able to fly in for Thanksgiving, offer up
a sacrificial turkey or two, and rev up the troops so one had to be
invented. Enter the legend
of Dragonslayer George, who saved
Britain
from a firebreathing, people eating, country destroying dragon.
A 12th century Superhero, no less, tackling the
metaphorical Devil. The
troops were encouraged to pray to him as they hurled themselves into
battle during the so-called Holy Wars.
The Holy Wars were the medieval attempt to persuade Middle
Easterners to do it our way.
Anyone remember how successful that liberation was?? What goes
around, comes around! Karma
has a way of getting us in the end.
-
- As the softball announcer for NBC allegedly said at the Olympic Games “If
history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing
again.”
-
- George the Pretender is still caught up in Mad George’s drama.
He is unable to free himself from a never-ending cyberloop.
Hang up, and then Reboot George W. Bush right out of office.
Remember the Revolution? Time
for another tea party.
