Truth is Hidden

Retarded: slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress.

How can it be otherwise? My last piece went a bit after the republican zombie faction, but this piece is really for everyone else. How can it be that the multitudes believe the lie so regularly promulgated on the television? Here's a hint: TV is manufactured. It's fake. It's not real. Remember that whole, "reality television" crazy. That's not real either. It was editted, spliced, acted, scripted, and produced with the intent of creating a pseudo-reality that appeared real. CNN, MSNBC, Fox News (most egregiously), National Elections more subtly including Obama & McSame - All of it is FAKE.

Do you think there'll be a true and democratic election in Novemeber? You think Obama and McCain are the BEST people in the country for the job? I know I don't. You think this media frenzy is actually designed to educate us on the issues and give us the candidates positions? It seems like a mud-slinging fest to me. My point: This 'election' is a distraction, a pathetic and transparent (yet apparently functional) attempt to make the rest of us believe there is democracy in a nation that is ruled by a pathological elite, and since they own the media it works.

I'm not asking you to take my word for it. I'm asking you to use that large piece of gray matter that sits between your ears and THINK. Why is the world the way it is? Ask yourself that question and then seek some friggin answers. Hell, I'm not quite thirty and I found more reasons then I could count. Psychopathy & Ponerology. Higher Life forms fucking with us. Psychological Conditioning (trauma suffered in youth). Materialism/Christianity/Islam/Judaism (in a word: Religion). Half the human population lacking soul-potential. Take your pick.

"Oh it's not that bad. The world's always been unstable. There's nothing I can do about it anyway." Okay. So the status quo is fine with you? Another global war - fine with you? Do you understand the ramifications of settling on the status quo? Do you have children, how about friends and family? Do you value their lives and happiness? Are you retarded? No? Then is someone paying you to present your opinions as they're own? Is it your full time job to troll news sites and 'insert the establishment line here'? Because I gotta tell ya, some of these comments really do make it seem so.

I understand only a handful of major corporations control our media, why doesn't anyone else? Why do people quote television as if it's a reliable source? I've found more truth in fiction novels then I've found on TV, more honest intellectual news coverage from a show on comedy central then any major news network. I guessing laziness? Fear? What makes something reliable to you? A brand? A name? A syntony with everything else that's available? Do you factor in the fact that only four major media corporations run television, print and radio? Thus making it extremely easy for the to create the illusion of a consensus reality? Did you buy the 'Russia attacked Georgia unprovoked' nonsense?

I understand we've been dumbed down, poisoned, and entertained... I get it. I've suffered from it as well. I still play video games, drink and hang out with friends and put my 'everything is alright' face on. The only difference is that I try to share info. I educate myself, history, politics, philosophy, psychology, science. I wear "9-11 was an inside job!" Tee-shirts, throw up cute sayings on the back of my car "Impeach, Indict, Imprison" "BushCo. Warcrimes Etc since 2001" I hop around blogs and read what the PEOPLE have to say, and then link them to something they might find interesting.

When I'm wrong, I admit it and then try to incorporate previously unknown data into my cognitive framework. It's not that hard, give it a try. Only someone slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress would maintain a position after it's been clearly proven false. IE: Still think Arabs were responsible for 9-11?

A Totally Lawless Regime -- No One in America is Safe From the Government

Think about this question: In the 21st century what regime is more lawless than the Bush Regime?

Everyone is entitled to his own answer. The only answer I can come up with is the Zimbabwe regime of Robert Mugabe. Voted out of power in the last election, the great man hasn't left. Zimbabweans are going to have to vote again, and the great man has said that any vote that is not for him will be cancelled by a bullet.

Does anyone remember how determined the British and the Americans and everyone else was to turn Rhodesia over to Mugabe in order to save Rhodesia from the evil Ian Smith? What a fool everyone was.

But before we laugh at those fools, we had best laugh at ourselves, or cry.

It is now an incontrovertible fact, known all over the world, that George W. Bush and his regime lied through their teeth in order to launch wars of aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq, and that the Bush regime is doing the same thing again in hopes of launching an attack on Iran.

Bush is a Psychopath I (there's two more in that series)

What Does that Tell Us About Us?

It is true that many of our leaders and CEOs could be labeled as psychopaths or having many psychopathic tendencies. Bush does seem to be one of those psychopaths.

Psychology as we know is not an exact science. But the hard sciences don't seem to be so exact anymore. As we study quantum physics we see matter not behaving in exact ways as we used to believe from a Newtonian perspective. The Quantum world also points to consciousness interacting with matter in ways that would never have been expected.

But it is useful at times to test and label and it can bring us to a better understanding and helpful ways of treatment. From this perspective, I think it is useful to label President Bush as a person suffering from a serious personality disorder. But it is even more useful to ask why people allow themselves to be lied to and manipulated by these psychopathic personalities.

Investigate 9/11? Never Mind, D.H.S. Is On!

Sun, 22 Jun 2008

When it was reported that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were planning to limit their (private) testimony before the 9/11 investigation commission to 1 hour, commission member and former Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste pointedly said, "...three thousand people died in the bloodiest attack on American soil in history... many people think the president and vice president can be more generous with their time, given the importance of the subject."Now it just so happens that the president has been generous with his time, along with Secretary of Justice John Ashcroft, when dealing with Hollywood helpers such as the Trinity Broadcasting Network. TBN is co-producing a show called D.H.S, which bills itself as a behind-the-scenes look at the war on terror from deep inside the bowels of the Department of Homeland Security. Having gotten a whiff of what the show's all about, the pair are said to be delighted to offer authoritative soundbytes- not surprising, considering that TBN is:

"...a Christian faith channel where the biggest star is bible-thumper Jan Crouch, a big haired gal with a grim smile that would wither flowers. Ms. Crouch is related to Mathew Crouch, an executive producer of the pilot for D.H.S."

According to the Globe & Mail, on-line discussions of the show's pilot have noted the underlying "Christian message." The Christian connection seems to have influenced the casting. The paper reports that among the show's "noted thespians" we find leading lady Alison Heruth Waterbury, a "businesswoman-actor" committed to Christian charities as well as to the LA County Sheriff's "...quest to have an extra state tax to help fund the fight against terrorism."

So get this, I decide to take a week off from smoking (failed misrerably last night) and one the first day (monday) I get this horrid cough, scratchy throat, and overall -blah feeling. Of course the plants have been ejaculating something ferocious all over the place and I can't help but breathe more pollen then air, but still! WTF Is up with that! I wanna take a break from smoking and all of a sudden my allergies go bonkers. Again, as the scientist and the experiment I've shown that cigarette smoking (natural, organic, additive free tobacco & papers) helps my allergies! Take that Big Pharma & Big Tobacco!

I also am SICK of this infernal, zombie-like reaction people have to smoking. It's like, people automatically regurgitate the nonsensical notion that it's bad for you as if it's as self-evident as the sky being blue! OKAY - I'll concede that mainstream tobacco is contaminated with poisons and grown with em as well, but not the stuff I smoke. Further, I'm a friggin scientist! I may not have my PhD (yet) but I do have a BS in Biochemistry! I think that would weight my opinion just a little bit more then those who don't know the difference between a white & a red blood cell.

I'm also a bit pissed at Orthodox Science - what is 'Orthodox Science' you're probably wondering - it's the hallowed halls of old white men who refuse to use science to investigate anything other then what they already know or expect to be true! Imagine that! It's like, the Catholic Church of Science! For instance, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS - not necessarily true! We don't have a mountain of evidence for it, yet everyone just accepts that an STD causes AIDS, because well, the guy next to him thinks so... and so does that guy over there...

So the two most recent nonfiction books I've been reading have been The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube & Bill Napier and Underwater & Underground Bases by Richard Sauder. All those cats are PhDs btw. Both books are HIGHLY interesting, the first because it gives us the most scientific, evidenced-back examination of what we know about history, comets, asteroids and the likelihood of an impact. Guess What - The Evidence says that there's a serious issue here and we should be diverting more time and money towards researching this phenomenon which has the potential to kill our civilization. Then I read this article today and apparently the Ponerologically Infected Politicians disagree - It's too much money!

Ah... ehem... excuse me? YOU FUCKING TWITS WASTE BILLIONS IF NOT TRILLIONS ON BLACK BUDGET BULLSHIT THAT RESULTS IN DEATH AND SUFFERING ON ONE HAND AND SEVERELY ENGORGING THE WEALTH OF PSYCHOPATHS ON THE OTHER AND YOU HAVE THE GAUL TO CLAIM RESEARCHING POTENTIALLY WORLD-KILLING ASTEROIDS COSTS TOO MUCH!? ...not to mention the fact that it's OUR MONEY they're spending.

phew... i feel better.

But not much... the second book is all about Underground and Underwater Bases & tunnels. And guess fucking what: the same twits that authorized the insanity of the last fifty years have also been building underground like horny moles hopped up on crack. I'm not joking.

It's all in black & white in this book and Sauder cites everything. He uses a few anonymous sources, but they aren't the main force behind his thesis. He shows conclusively that the guberment and it's invisible, evil twin have been colluding with private companies, academia and the military to build vast, expensive, and secret underground & underwater facilities. Again, guess who's fucking sweat, blood & tears went to pay for it all.....

I just don't get it.

This article goes on about how the Decepticons want to 'sex up' the Iran war, ya know, dress her up in red (probably dyed with Iraqi blood), slap some lipstick on her (also blood-made) and then shoot photographs of her in great light, with beautiful backdrops and proceed to flash those images all over television, print and radio. Nobody gets it... I was holding a huge sign in town the other day that read: Weapons of Mass Deception, depicted TV, Magazines, Newspapers & Radio and yet maybe twenty percent of the people that walked by gave me a smile, a conversation, a sign of understanding.

This one is cute, it's from Prodigy, the rapper, who currently resides in prison for gun possession. He goes off on the PTB, pointing out their interest in Satanism, 9-11, totally fucking with our perception of history, it's a great piece and I especially love how he encourages the reader to do his or her homework, research and fact checking.

This piece from Les Visible is a crucial examination of how they get inside our heads, and he brings up my point in tandem - they use the TV, Print and Media. They hypnotize you and then feed you bullshit which you eat up and then proceed to run the program they've just installed for the next 24-48 hours. Here's a thought, a mind game for you, something that may help you abort the program. What would you do if there was no more electricity. Just think about it.

He also stops on the satanism point, albeit briefly, but there it is again! Fucking Psychopathic Satanists Run our Goddamned Planet (which is pretty damned until we take the power back)! And here's the Vice Psychopath in Chief reminding us 'peasants' that he is totally immune to our democracy processes.

This shit is FOR REAL people. The likelihood that this asshole has drank the blood of a newborn baby, fucked the shit out of young children and then KILLED THEM is like, 99.8% Do I have proof? No... would I be surprised to find it - hell no.

Nothing can change until we all start changing. We need to turn off our TVs, Protest until the media covers it, read and research everything that's been hidden or covered up, in short - Stop Believing the Lies that Psychopaths on High Serve Us. What will you do?

So the Bush has decided to visit Jerusalem... surprised I am not. Anything for good PR and a high profile trip to the Middle East will get some attention no doubt. What's funny is that when Condi Rice or Donnie visits they don't annouce it three days ahead of time. Also of interest: The same day they annouce it (today)Al-Cia-DUH releases a threatening video message to let Bushie know 'they're waitin for him'. This shit reeks.

Gee can I see this from a three days away? Given all suicide bombings and 'terrorist attacks' in jerusalem are the work of the Mossad, solely designed to garner sympathy for the zionazi agenda, could they rig an attempt on the presidents life? Maybe blame it on Iranians? Hamas? The syrians? Shit they could blame it on any friggin Arabs in the region and come out on top. Then all they do is spin their media monster to generate all the bullshit they need and presto! You have a green light to attack any nation ya want... assuming the nation falls for it.

What sucks is that at this point they can 'create any reality' they want using that damned media machine. They already do it with protests.... 10k show up and they report 1k. Police start a violent repression and all of a sudden the people 'deserved it'. Someone should break that toy or give it back to the people. If I could I would, but unfortunately I can't. All i can do is bitch and moan and hope to god that enough people are smart enough to see the con before it's too late.

PS - The surge didn't work, contrary to the government's lies.

Bad spelling jokes aside, I find myself a bit disconnected today. I'm starting to recover from a mild respitory infection i picked up over the weekend, but i had some totally fucked up dreams that really put me off. I was also reading this piece about JFK and had to stop half way through because of the depressing statistics quoted. Here's a sample:

* 27,000 Americans commit suicide.
* 5,000 attempt suicide; some estimates are higher.
* 26,000 die from fatal accidents in the home.
* 23,000 are murdered.
* 85,000 are wounded by firearms.
* 38,000 of these die, including 2,600 children.
* 13,000,000 are victims of crimes including assault, rape, armed robbery, burglary, larceny, and arson.
* 135,000 children take guns to school.
* 5,500,000 people are arrested for all offenses (not including traffic violations).
* 125,000 die prematurely of alcohol abuse.
* 473,000 die prematurely from tobacco-related illnesses; 53,000 of these are nonsmokers.
* 6,500,000 use heroin, crack, speed, PCP, cocaine or some other hard drug on a regular basis.
* 5,000+ die from illicit drug use. Thousands suffer serious debilitations.
* 1,000+ die from sniffing household substances found under the kitchen sink. About 20 percent of all eighth-graders have "huffed" toxic substances. Thousands suffer permanent neurological damage.
* 31,450,000 use marijuana; 3,000,000 of whom are heavy usuers.
* 37,000,000, or one out of every six Americans, regularly use emotion controlling medical drugs. The users are mostly women. The pushers are doctors; the suppliers are pharmaceutical companies; the profits are stupendous.
* 2,000,000 nonhospitalized persons are given powerful mind-control drugs, sometimes described as "chemical straitjackets."
* 5,000 die from psychoactive drug treatments.
* 200,000 are subjected to electric shock treatments that are injurious to the brain and nervous system.
* 600 to 1,000 are lobotomized, mostly women.
* 25,000,000, or one out of every 10 Americans, seek help from psychiatric, psychotherapeutic, or medical sources for mental and emotional problems, at a cost of over $4 billion annually.
* 6,800,000 turn to nonmedical services, such as ministers, welfare agencies, and social counselors for help with emotional troubles. In all, some 80,000,000 have sought some kind of psychological counseling in their lifetimes.
* 1,300,000 suffer some kind of injury related to treatment at hospitals.
* 2,000,000 undergo unnecessary surgical operations; 10,000 of whom die from the surgery.
* 180,000 die from adverse reactions to all medical treatments, more than are killed by airline and automobile accidents combined.
* 14,000+ die from overdoses of legal prescription drugs.
* 45,000 are killed in auto accidents. Yet more cars and highways are being built while funding for safer forms of mass transportation is reduced.
* 1,800,000 sustain nonfatal injuries from auto accidents; but 150,000 of these auto injury victims suffer permanent impairments.
* 126,000 children are born with a major birth defect, mostly due to insufficient prenatal care, nutritional deficiency, environmental toxicity, or maternal drug addiction.
* 2,900,000 children are reportedly subjected to serious neglect or abuse, including physical torture and deliberate starvation.
* 5,000 children are killed by parents or grandparents.
* 30,000 or more children are left permanently physically disabled from abuse and neglect. Child abuse in the United States afflicts more children each year than leukemia, automobile accidents, and infectious diseases combined. With growing unemployment, incidents of abuse by jobless parents is increasing dramatically.
* 1,000,000 children run away from home, mostly because of abusive treatment, including sexual abuse, from parents and other adults. Of the many sexually abused children among runaways, 83 percent come from white families.
* 150,000 children are reported missing.
* 50,000 of these simply vanish. Their ages range from one year to mid-teens. According to the New York Times, "Some of these are dead, perhaps half of the John and Jane Does annually buried in this country are unidentified kids."
* 900,000 children, some as young as seven years old, are engaged in child labor in the United States, serving as underpaid farm hands, dishwashers, laundry workers, and domestics for as long as ten hours a day in violation of child labor laws.
* 2,000,000 to 4,000,00 women are battered. Domestic violence is the single largest cause of injury and second largest cause of death to U.S. women.
* 700,000 women are raped, one every 45 seconds.
* 5,000,000 workers are injured on the job; 150,000 of whom suffer permanent work-related disabilities, including maiming, paralysis, impaired vision, damaged hearing, and sterility.
* 100,000 become seriously ill from work-related diseases, including black lung, brown lung, cancer, and tuberculosis.
* 14,000 are killed on the job; about 90 percent are men.
* 100,000 die prematurely from work-related diseases.
* 60,000 are killed by toxic environmental pollutants or contaminants in food, water, or air.
* 4,000 die from eating contaminated meat.
* 20,000 others suffer from poisoning by E.coli 0157-H7, the mutant bacteria found in contaminated meat that generally leads to lifelong physical and mental health problems. A more thorough meat inspection with new technologies could eliminate most instances of contamination--so would vegetarianism.

I don't put much stock in statistics, but I do think a lot of this crap happens, and even more of it goes unreported. To me, the numbers aren't what's important. I value each and every life, there's no difference between the suffering of one, and the suffering of a hundred. The fact that one person died hurts me just as much as the fact that oh say, two thousand, seven hundred and fifty or so died.

Further - No one talks about this crap, it's not on tv, the radio or in print. In fact, when i overhear some radio shows I can't help but get agitated. They'll be rambling on about the latest celebrity to drop the N-Bomb or whatever other insignificance Clear Channel wants to push, and yet there's like... a global backdrop of crisis, suffering, disaster, in short death & destruction - but let's just push it out of our minds, hell there's nothing we can do about it anyway.... might as well just fuck all & get high until the apocalypse right?

Wrong.

Ever heard of non_linearity?

"Any process where the output is not in direct proportion to the input can be called non-linear. In fact very few processes of nature are linear. As used in this material, the term non-linear refers to processes where a very small change at the beginning makes a large qualitative difference at the end. The straw that breaks the camel's back is a proverbial example of a non-linear process. The often heard adage about the beat of butterfly wings triggering a hurricane on the other side of the world is another."

This basically flies in the face of the "I can't do anything" excuse. You could change the world by reading the news, picking up a book, saying hello to a stranger, or commenting on someone elses blog. But don't go off on a crusade because you read the inane ramblings of a pissed and confused twenty-something.... don't feel guilty... don't do anything unless that tiny spark of a conscience suggests it. "You are what you choose to be, you choose." - a small boy to a giant robot in The Iron Giant

I choose to keep rambling on, to hop around to various blogs and link them to things they might not have seen yet. To read book after book, Psychology, History, Science and tons of fiction. To post rebellious liberal jargon on the back of my car, currently "Stop Bush, Save Lives!" To email, write and phone the phony politicians, eventhough their venality is likely inpenitrable. To relax with video games, and get drunk with friends on the weekends. I'll do everything I can, and I'll never use violence, that's what I've chosen to be.
