Below I paste a record of Urantian Allen Rice's Scottish Rite association. Allen is as I explained a racist involved in a eugenics program. A very weird one- including odd and easily dismissable ideas like using the human genome project to scientifically create a new breed of human in a lab. A "Morontian". They get away with all this because nnoone in their right mind would believe it. But look at Kermit ANderson, head of Kaiser Permanente's genetic screening department and try to think for a minute. Maybe you will realize- "Oh! THAT'S how they get away with it!"
In any case- looks like ALdous Huxley stole his "Brave New World" quote from Robert Burns. Drugs, Drugs, Drugs....
Where was I? Oh yeah- Allen Rice is a freemason architect. (modern day illuminati).He helped (among many other creepy things) to design the new SF jail. The stylish one with the walls that breathe. Not just a prison- its a fascist statement.
Am I the only one that's noticed some funny things happening with the justice system? Like they are bussing California prisoners out of state now to accommodate all the black people they can't fit in there anymore?
Anywho- the information has been removed from the web- the link goes to some asian website now, and so I post this exact copy of it for your edification (and hopefully a little horrified shock at this reality.)
Oh yeah- and there is that Huxley/Urantia link yuo can find posted about the web.
I am thinking the Morontians are a glorified name for Huxley's epsilon semi-moron.

more massive than it looks in any of the portraits ... a strong
expression of shrewdness in his lineaments; the eye alone in-
dicated the poetical character and temperament. It was large,
and of a dark cast, and literally glowed when he spoke with
feeling or interest."
Jean Armour's father allowed her to marry him,
now that he was no longer a lowly wordsmith. Alas,
the trappings of fame did not bring fortune
and he took up a job as an exciseman to
supplement the meager income.
While collecting taxes he contin-
ued to write, contributing songs
to the likes of James John-
ston's "Scot's Musical Mu-
seum" and George
Thomson's "Select Collec-
tion of Original Scottish
Airs." In all, more than 400
of Burns' songs are still in
existence.
The genius of Burns is
marked by spontaneity, di-
rectness, and sincerity, and
his variety is marvellous,
ranging from the tender inten-
sity of some of his lyrics through
the rollicking humour and blazing
wit of “Tam o' Shanter” to the blister-
ing satire of “Holy Willie's Prayer” and
“The Holy Fair.” His life is a tragedy, and his
character full of flaws. But he fought at tremendous odds,
and as Thomas Carlyle in his great Essay says, “Granted the
ship comes into harbour with shrouds and tackle damaged,
the pilot is blameworthy ... but to know how blameworthy,
tell us first whether his voyage has been round the Globe or
only to Ramsgate and the Isle of Dogs.”
The last years of Burns' life were devoted to pen-
ning great poetic masterpieces such as “The Lea Rig”, “Tam
O'Shanter” and a “Red, Red Rose.” He died aged 37 of heart
disease exacerbated by the hard manual work he undertook
when he was young. His death occurred on the same day that
his wife Jean gave birth to his last son, Maxwell.
On the day of his burial more than 10,000 people
came to watch and pay their respects. However, his popular-
ity then was nothing compared to the heights it has reached
since.
On the anniversary of his birth, Scots both at home
and abroad celebrate Robert Burns with a supper, where they
address the haggis, the ladies and whisky. A celebration
which would undoubtedly make him proud.
B
orn in Alloway, Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness,
a poor tenant farmer, and Agnes Broun, Robert Burns
was the eldest of seven children. He spent his youth
working his father's farm. In spite of his poverty he was ex-
tremely well read. This was due in large part to the insistence
of his father, who employed a tutor for Robert and younger
brother Gilbert. His interest in writing in Scottish
was prompted by his mother who sang to her
children in 'auld' Scots.
At age 15, Robert was the
principal worker on the farm and
this prompted him to start writing
in an attempt to find "some
kind of counterpoise for his
circumstances." It was at this
tender age that Burns
penned his first verse, "My
Handsome Nell", which
was an ode to the other sub-
jects that dominated his life,
namely scotch and women.
When his father
died in 1784, Robert and his
brother became partners in the
farm. However, Robert was more
interested in the romantic nature of
poetry than the arduous graft of
ploughing and, having had some misad-
ventures with the ladies (resulting in several
illegitimate children, including twins to the
woman who would become his wife, Jean Armour), he
planned to escape to Jamaica and work as a bookkeeper on a
plantation. From this he was dissuaded by a letter from the
poet Thomas Blacklock, and at the suggestion of his brother
published his poems in the volume, Poems, Chiefly in the
Scottish Dialect in June 1786. This edition was brought out
by a local printer in Kilmarnock and contained much of his
best work, including “The Twa Dogs”, “Address to the Deil”,
“Hallowe'en”, “The Cottar's Saturday Night”, “To a Mouse”,
and “To a Mountain Daisy”.
The success of the work was immediate. The poet's
name rang over all Scotland, and he was induced to go to Ed-
inburgh to superintend the issue of a new edition. There he
was received as an equal by the brilliant circle of men of let-
ters which the city then boasted – the philosopher Dugald
Stewart, Lieutenant-General William Robertson, the Rev-
erend Dr. Hugh Blair, etc., and was a guest at aristocratic ta-
bles, where he bore himself with unaffected dignity. Here
also Walter Scott, then a boy of 15, saw him and describes
him as of "manners rustic, not clownish. His countenance ...

ern was born in March, 1943 in Long Beach, CA and
oldest of three children parented by Vern (Jr.) and Ber-
nice Stephens. Vern’s father
was a major league baseball
player which led to many sum-
mertime residences in St. Louis,
MO, Boston, MA, Chicago, IL
and Baltimore, MD. The family
always returned to Long Beach
during baseball’s off season.
He graduated from Long
Beach Polytechnic High and
continued to Long Beach City
College and eventually graduat-
ing with a BS in Engineering
from Long Beach State in 1969.
By this time, Vern had a wife,
I
t was a mild clear Sunday on December 3 in Corning as
over a hundred souls gathered for this annual celebration
of Saint Andrew’s Day. About 20 members of our Scot-
tish society came to participate in the event. The 10 am serv-
ice at the Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church included a
Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans where all those in attendance who were
either wearing or had with them a family tartan were invited
to come forward to have their tartan blessed by the Reverend
Maryly Adair. At the beginning, the end and during the serv-
ice Bill Casper of Oroville piped some classic tunes, that,
aside from the many kilts being worn, helped to create the de-
cidedly Scottish atmosphere.
After the service, all were
invited to join together in
the fellowship hall for a
feast in honor of Saint An-
drew, the patron saint of
Scotland. As Dick Cham-
berlain welcomed all those
gathered for the feast, a
wonderful variety of food
brought that morning by
the parishioners and guests
was laid out in a buffet.
Stories, conversation and
laughter filled the hall as
everyone filled themselves
with a fine and satisfying
meal. Jim McKasson of
Paradise piped some merry
tunes to the enjoyment of
those gathered for the feast.
Saint Andrew was the first of Jesus’ apostles. He
was crucified for his faith on an X-shaped cross because he
did not feel worthy to die on the same kind of cross as his
Lord. The national flag of Scotland bears Saint Andrew’s
cross also known by the ancient name of Saltire.
It was an honor to share in this fellowship and enjoy
the numerous reminders of our Scottish heritage. Many
thanks to the Saint Andrew’s Episcopal church for inviting us
to their celebration of Saint Andrew’s Day.

now deceased, and two children, Vern IV and Tracie. While
working as a Civil Engineer, in January, 1970, he was re-
cruited by and joined the US DOJ as a Special Agent, Crimi-
nal Investigator. Vern served in eight posts of duty both
internationally and domestically eventually retiring in 1993.
After retirement, he purchased a house in Suisun, CA
and kept busy with a couple of part time jobs, his family ge-
nealogy, and as a Security Consultant for the Napa County
Courts. In 1999 Vern moved to Magalia, CA and in 2005
married the former Melody Anderson. Vern and Melody are
very active with the Gold Nugget Museum and the Butte
County Scottish Society.

YEUKIE - BANE
(Funny bone)
A
n English doctor, being shown around a Scottish hospi-
tal, is taken into a ward with a number of patients who
show no visible signs of injury.
He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the
man proclaims" "Fair fa' yer sonsie face, Great chieftain e'
the puddin' race!" The Englishman, somewhat taken aback,
goes to the next patient, who immediately launches into:
"Some hae meat, and canna eat, and some wad eat that want
it, But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be
thankit."
The next patient sits up and declaims: "Wee sleekit
cow'rin tim'rous beastie, O what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty, wi' bickering brattle. I wad
be laith to run and chase thee, wi' murdering prattle!"
Well, says the Englishman to his Scottish colleague.
"I see you saved the psychiatric ward for last."
"Nay, nay," the Scottish doctor corrects him. "this is
the Serious Burns Unit!"
Scottish preacher to his congregation: "I don't mind
you putting buttons in the collection plate, but please provide
your own buttons. Stop pulling them off the church cush-
ions."
Another Scottish preacher is said to have prayed
thus after a particularly unproductive collection: "We thank
you Lord that the plate was returned safely."
