I was reading the obituary of Harold von Braunhut, the man who sold the world Sea Monkeys, and the more I read, the more his life was like something out of a comic book, albeit probably written by Alan Moore.
He sold X-Ray Specs, Sea Monkeys and more on the back pages of comic books, he was a salesman, daredevil and member of the KKK and Aryan Nations. Plus he was Jewish. Bizarre.
Harold von Braunhut, who used comic book advertisements to
sell whimsical mail-order inventions like Amazing Sea
Monkeys, tiny shrimp that pop to life when water is added,
died on Nov. 28 at his home in Indian Head, Md. He was 77.His wife, Yolanda, said that he died after a fall but that
the exact cause was not known.Mr. von Braunhut was to quirky inventions what Barnum was
to circuses. His X-Ray Specs, which advertisements said
allowed wearers to see through flesh and clothing, are
still selling after 50 years of guffaws. Hermit crabs as a
pet? Thank Mr. von Braunhut for Crazy Crabs.And yes, perhaps only this verbally snappy holder of 195
patents could have realized that what the world needed was
Amazing Hair-Raising Monsters, which allow a child to add
water to a card and watch hair grow on the previously bald
pate of the monster depicted there.[snip ...]
Mr. von Braunhut gravitated toward life's crazier edge,
racing motorcycles as the Green Hornet and managing the
career of a man who dived from 40 feet into a kiddie pool
filled with 12 inches of water. He sold invisible goldfish
by guaranteeing that owners would never see them.In a radically different sphere, Mr. von Braunhut's hard
right-wing beliefs drew notice. According to a 1996
Anti-Defamation League report, he belonged to the Ku Klux
Klan and the Aryan Nations.The Washington Post in 1988 published an article on him and
his affiliations, adding that his relatives said he was
Jewish. He himself repeatedly refused to discuss his
beliefs on race or his own religious background with
journalists, and in an interview on Thursday his wife
declined to comment on the subject.

"14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. "
Favor.
And disfavor.
They point out Africans’ failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it's applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.
The roots of racism are not of this earth.
Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.
The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.
AIDS in Africa.
Organizational Heirarchy
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:
1. MUCK - perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as "god"
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Mafia (evil) aliens - runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere (On planets where they approved evil.)
Terrestrial management:
4. Chinese/egyptians - this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans - they answer to the egyptians
6. Mafia - the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician - Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.
Survival of the favored.

Many Muslims are being used like the Germans and Japanese of wwii::being used to hurt others and envoke condemnation upon their people.
I wish I could find a source to educate many Muslim fundamentalists. Muhammad is alive. He is a man chosen like Jesus Christ and, due to his historical status, will live forever.
