aberrantangelsSorry about the delay; it'll be explained below.
Host Robert Gruder says he "could scarcely stand to read the published work of our guest tonight and, in fact, soon stopped reading it." I had a similar problem with the transcript provided in Aberrant: Church of Michael Archangel, which is why it took so long to get this entry up (that it dragged the next one down with it).
Now, we all learned in English class about subject-predicate agreement, right? Not using a singular verb with a plural subject or vice versa, that sort of thing?
Obviously, they needed to cover additional aspects of subject-predicate agreement. Because there's only so much cognitive dissonance I (for one) can take at a time, and the disconnect between the subject "the unfortunate victims of Mazarin-Rashoud tumor syndrome" and the predicate "comprise the single greatest threat to humanity in our age" is one of those things that makes you wonder how anyone can say it without undergoing cerebral detonation.
People who know what's coming for the TU would say he's just ahead of the curve of public opinion. I happen to be one of those people.
People who believe in reacting to what's already there, rather than to what's going to be there, would say he's delusional. I happen to be one of those people as well. (Quite frankly, I've never been able to understand how any organized religion convinces anyone who isn't at least partly convinced already, whether by upbringing or what Ivan Stang called "the telepathic pressure alone of the uncountable Normals surrounding you".)
It's about Los Angeles, and as such is reprinted as part of Aberrant: Year One's section on that fair city. "If you're a nova or simply into novas, LA is where it's all happening." And they're not all what![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katana_hacker and feminine_menace would call "Industry types", either. "Having a nova SO seems to be The Thing ever since the head of Arista Music got a nova BF.... Be quick, though; in a year or so they'll likely be as out as Senegalese food."

[Aberrant] Rev. Estaban Torano of the Church of Michael Archangel appears on OpNews show The American Lens.

Those unfortunates with defective brains cursed with M-R nodes aren't our enemies in any simple sense. We don't hate them, any more than you'd hate a rabid dog or someone with an infectious disease.... I believe, and my teachers believe, that God calls us to treat novas just like any other menace....
Novas... do indeed accomplish things faster than we would have without them. But then, tuberculosis makes some people look very beautiful, too.... The world groans under the weight of an illness run amok.
