Reciprocal Woofy Well-Wishing for 2012, that it be Stellar! O team of fellow Trickster Democratic Animists (and so on!)

January 2, 2012
6pm PST, 9pm EST

So, by welcoming synchronicity, with the hum of our dedicated whimsy, we are increasing its guiding prevalence for every member of this team. May it be so!

Perusing our Trickster Council (secret) Facebook Realm (still only a fraction of our team are enrolled. Perpetually encouraging sign up, and happy to guide through the protocol. It’s just such an easy place to cavort and share.) noticing concern re many things including:

the Dingbat Indefinite Detention Authorization Bill….Let’s make a list for Mars to Re-peal, Saturn to Constrain, Pluto to bubble, and Uranus to liberate.

May all tyrannical impulses be tossed into the cauldron from which we ladle out sane reverent common sense – that the only resolution to “terrorism,” be terra-ism and a wonderful life for all children – of all species!

My suggestion to combine the Shakespearian Insult Kit (on the Trickster Council Facebook page) with the Indefinite Detention moldworp, was put to good use by Team-mate Hal Bahr: “May this errant beef-witted infectious barnacle of a bill be removed and cast back squalling and squirming into the codpiece of the governmental hugger-muggers who cooked it up in the pockmarked back room bladder in first place.”

and my own preliminary: may all “craven swag-bellied miscreants” and their influence be retired back-stage so they can find a better role in the Mystery Play!

See, much more fun and surprising than the predictable muggle waily-waily that predominates in what passes for public discourse.

We are priming the pump. And we are always encouraging, with every posting, every thought and utterance, that dia-gnosis  be followed by blessing (rowdy, creative, solemn and playful completely welcome)…We’re greasing that path, lubricating the water slide, gleeful children sledding that groove.

Team-mate Justine Zang: “May all the toxic, undemocratic provisions of this bill be like the multi-patterned, appliqued Christmas sweater from your great aunt — seen briefly at the the end of the year, then mothballed in a drawer or attic, never again to see the light of day!”

Trickster Mythic News Headline: Ruminating Magnetizes Invitations!

So, ruminating on the Constitution and governance and democratic animism emerging from the composting of tyranny and all, synchronously, I was just invited to dine with constitutional scholar, and kind of way conservative Bruce Fein, who will be channelling, no kidding, James Madison at a later meeting of power-possessing Washington beings, to which cabal I have also been invited to add spice.

So for me, meeting with wildly conservative potential team-mates in this cultural maelstrom is both welcome and exotic.

(Here’s the promo:

“Under Madison, citizens of the Republic were the center of the Constitution’s solar system. Today the President of the United States wields more power than King George III ever exercised over Madison and colonial America. Congress and the courts no longer act as checks on the executive. American citizens are assassinated on the authority of the President alone without any accounting of facts or law. The most fundamental liberty – the Writ of Habeas Corpus and due process– is shredded. The war power, which Madison so carefully placed in the first branch, is repeatedly usurped as the executive branch engages in unilateral wars around the globe at times and places of its choosing. In the false pursuit of a risk-free existence, a government of limited powers has been replaced by a government of unlimited powers. In the course of unleashing the instruments of power against perceived foreign dangers, we have compromised our civil liberties just as Madison predicted. The result is that the United States is no longer a government of laws, but a government of men.

The Committee has selected one of its own, board member, Bruce Fein to portray James Madison. The Committee knows no one better qualified to apply the principles of the Founders to today’s state of the union. Bruce is a lifetime student of the Constitutional Convention, Virginia’s State ratification convention, The Federalist Papers, and Madison’s addresses as a two-term President and as Secretary of State during the Jefferson Administration. He has spent more years than Madison in Washington during a high-level legal career in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. During Watergate, Bruce served in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel became the nation’s leading authority on impeachment. Bruce was recruited to draft formal impeachment papers against two Republican Presidents (Richard Nixon, George W. Bush) and two Democratic Presidents (Bill Clinton, Barack Obama) for usurping the Constitution.

Bruce opposed the Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act as unconstitutional. He frequently testifies before Congress in opposition to federal law-breaking by both Democrat and Republican administrations. Bruce’s impartiality has won respect for him across the political spectrum–from Ralph Nader, John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich to Rand Paul and Judge Napolitano. His recent books include “Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for our Constitution and Democracy”; and “The American Empire Before The Fall”.  In his private law practice, he has relied on Madison’s genius in advising numerous foreign countries on their constitutions. Bruce also advises presidential candidates on policies which promote constitutionally limited government.”

And, because we have team-mates from many parts of the world, this is not to be America-centric, but to honor the global pertinence of what occurs here as not insignificant to beings in all realms.

The Sun today illumines Madison’s Mars, so we invite him to join council.

Along with, less befoibled, honored ancestral bard of blessing, John O’Donohue! (January 1, 1956) at a Happy Birthday to him fest.
