SMOD 2016 Re-Launches Campaign With Near-Miss On Earth

SMOD refused to answer reporters questions, saying they'll be time for questions later, After the Worldfires Cleanse the Earth of Wicked Carbonoids.



SMOD, aka Asteroid Icarus, and its 20,000 children/ice-calves,
also called the Heralds of Armaggeddon

Asteroid Icarus, the kilometre-long spacerock named after the Greek mythological character that flew too close to the sun, will skim past the Earth on Tuesday night making a rare "distant pass" of five million miles.

According to Nasa, the asteroid 1566 Icarus will safely pass by the Earth at more than 21 lunar distances, which is 21 times the distance between form the Earth to the moon.

The next time the rock is set to approach the Earth at this kind of close distance will not be until 2090, when it will skim past marginally closer at 17 lunar distances.

Wait, this isn't the real SMOD. This is some flashy Johnny-Come-Lately hoping to get some Reality TV buzz.

Oh well.

Icarus says his impact in the race is going to be "uuuuge."

They'd be running for some man to save them.

These gals talk a good game but when reality hits suddenly they'll be all sweetness and light.

Notice they don't spend a lot of time talking about Islam or ISIS or Boko Harma?

There's a reason for that.

And it's similar to the reason why the MSM won't show Mohammed cartoons or talk about that stuff.

158 And this seems appropriate as well. What the smart people at The New Republic are thinking:

But the primary difference between expressing gender and expressing a specific cultural identity is that everyone lives life through the lens of gender, and must relate to it as a spectrum or a binary, even if they relate to it by refusing to relate to it. To be African-American is to be born into a highly specific cultural world, to have a specific history rooted in specific traumas and specific triumphs. To "identify as black" when one is not is to externalize something that is not internal, to invent rather than express. To take on a particular gender identity, at any time in life, is to explore and play with and live through a form of identity we all possess, and all have the freedom to use however we wish to, since doing otherwise inevitably means letting it use us.

Ultimately, Rachel Dolezal's story seems like a story about fear. It expresses the fear all white Americans have, or should have: fear of acknowledging our own cultural history as creators of trauma and inflictors of abuse; fear of acknowledging the guilt inherent in this narrative, and, even more staggeringly, taking on the task of alchemizing guilt into something useful. Dolezal's story also expresses, in its most redemptive moments, the love and respect she truly seemed to have for African-American culture-and the weakness that allowed her to see it not as a culture she wanted to use her white privilege to advocate for, but as a shelter in which she could hide from herself.

198 Just finished Neal Stephenson's "Seveneves", which began thusly:

"The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason."

Eventually the debris from the moon began raining down on Earth (about two years after that beginning sentence) and the Cleansing Fires rendered the surface of the Earth uninhabitable for almost 5,000 years.

The book is the story of how the 1500 survivors who had been shot into orbit after the moon disintegrated, clinging to the International Space Station and other habitats adjoining, made their way to a stable rock in a higher orbit, and eventually returned to Earth to attempt to Terraform it and repopulate it.

Like most Neal Stephenson books, it is brilliant in its endless discussions and descriptions of technology and big ideas, sorely lacking in character development, and ends very abruptly without much resolution of major themes. So, one of the most interesting books I've ever read, and one of the most tedious.

"Ooooohhhhh, Luna! Sweet, Sweet Luna!! Where is thy STING!?!?! Send your CLEANSING FIRE . . . (please, before President Vagina is sworn in) . . . (please . . . )"
