Seriously, Are Americans Getting Conned?

I don't know. It just seems like a lot of Americans are lost in some form of collective disconnect. And it's not just the tech addicted generation. It's everywhere. It's everybody. People don't 'think'. They generally accept whatever is told to them. They grab on to some piece of ideology and simply won't let go. Years ago it was the belief the world was flat. For centuries this was the accepted construct of the physical realm of God. The earth was the center of the universe, and that was that. But now we know the earth is an infinitesimally small dot in an ever expanding universe where the nearest star is 10,000 years away by jet. Truth...gives one a different view of things.Wouldn't you agree?
Here is some truth.
Before 1968, our government had to balance the budget. Money going out had to not exceed money coming in. I know this is a simplified version, fine, okay. But I'm just trying to make a point. I'm not an accountant or bean counter. But in 1968 Nixon and others took us off the 'gold' standard. I am no economist, but I understand that essentially the Federal Reserve could thus just start printing worthless money. And they did.
The ONLY value is the added interest on these government issued debentures. In other words, you give me 100 dollars of real money, and I'll pay you back 110 dollars of real money in the future. But that's not exactly what happened. The future kept arriving at the Federal Reserve Bank's door...and wanted to be paid. So the FRB just printed more paper promissory notes. lol. And this cycle just kept repeating. Repeating to the cost of 14 trillion fake dollars. So now, in 2012, the very existence of the American way of life is at risk. Why? Because all those people/countries who purchased those government debentures are realizing the USA is just a Ponzi scheme. Yes, a criminal enterprise whereby you pay old customers with new customers money. And  NO REAL value exist. This is the absolute truth.
In last nights RNC not a word was mentioned about the financial cliff around the corner. As usual it was smoothed over with sweet talk. "Time to balance the budget". Really?  Excuse the foul language, but the shit is about to hit the fan. INFLATION is coming back with a vengeance .

Mitt- Reagan, Movies, and Hang Em High

Last night at the Republican National Convention it seemed as if Ronald Reagan had been reincarnated as Mitt Romney. The hair, the good looks, family, apple pie, red white and blue, and the simple direct language; all a complete Reagan Wind- up Toy. And who could be the puppet master? Karl Rove? Sure, I am just guessing. But the Mitt- Reagan Wind- Up Toy was great marketing. The 'movie' was a nostalgic walk back in  time when America 'felt' great and Americans believed in their government. And then there was one of my childhood heroes, Mr. Hang Em High, Clint Eastwood. Clint was a little rough around the edges if you know what I mean. The Old West Happy Home allowed old Clint out of his room for a one night comic routine. Just enough time to 'infer' that an invisible President Obama was using the F-word multiple times. I think Clint said at one point, "No, I can't 'do' that to myself anymore." We all  want to like Clint, but the comedic routine felt very sub par. Frankly, I was a little queasy. However, mixed in that unstable rhetoric was a clear message. Clint said, "We OWN this country". And that was the  Ahh! moment! The Eureka moment when the puppet masters's message was spoken through the lips of a political mannequin  It was a straight line drawn in the Hollywood sand by a straight talker. The facade is that we Americans as a whole own our country. Because the real message was that Corporate America owns the country, the natural resources, and the military. Make no mistake about it, America is OWNED by the Banks that fund the international corporations who pull the strings on the politicians, who printed 14 trillion dollars of counterfeit money and told YOU to pay the debt. Did anyone hear last night even a small utterance about the Federal Reserve Banking System? No. You did hear about not raising taxes on small businesses. You also heard about making America the business leader of the world. And of course the catch all word, jobs. But what about those trillions of dollars of debt you the US citizen created? How are you going to pay on your debt, Mr. and Mrs. American? You certainly don't think businesses are going to pay it? Do you? The answer is in the fine print. It always is. The new sign over the IRS main office reads: 'Hang Em High.'

Obama Report Card C-

As a registered voter, land owner, tax payer, and American, I think it is time to grade President Obama. But before I do, I will admit I did vote for him in 2008. Although I admire McCain's military service, I do not believe that military service inherently would make him or anyone a good 'civilian' President. But now almost fours later (has it been that long?) I must take off the rose colored glasses of Hope and Change and focus on substance. Let's pause and take a deep breath. President Obama gets a B- for likability. Yea, he's sort of personable in a nerdy kind of way, but his demeanor has a 'scholastic' characteristic, almost offish. When he stands at the podium and speaks...he comes across lacking in conviction. People want to 'feel' their President  understands. (ask Bill Clinton). What about expectations and results? The USA is still at war in at least two countries. As commander in chief President Obama has almost forgotten this fact. There has been a great silence from the White House. Grade C-. Obama is no 'communicator' like Reagan or Clinton. This hurts him. The economy he did inherit from President Bush The Retard. And in a lightning quick coup-de-etat, Bush convinced Obama and Congress to bail out the evil bankers. Grade C. He went along because he was manipulated by BOTH parties. A sign of weak leadership. Now the real question is...What has President Obama done for you or I or America in four years? Think hard because it isn't easy coming up with anything tangible. I have found that once elected...he disappeared into President School. Gone away to learn his job for four years. One might even ask Where have you been and what have you been up to Mr. President? We The People feel you may have lost touch with us. We The People aren't certain who you are or what you have accomplished. Mr. President, Why should I vote for you, again? It's going to feel strange when you show up at the Democratic National Convention to speak. I hope you have more than a vision for the next four years. I hope you have more than 'change' ahead. I hope you have more than 'hope', again. Tell us a story Mr. President, your story. What have you done in four years?

The Ghost of G.W.Bush

Out of the inkwell comes Jeb Bushwack the clown...well he's at least acting clownish. His brother President George W. Bush The Retard is once again on the lips of Americans. No small thanks to Jeb himself. Apparently Jeb has been going around speaking his mind near news reporters. His message for President Obama is "stop blaming my brother for the bad economy". This would be amusing if it weren't so detached from reality. I would venture to say that 90% of ALL Americans know for a fact that George The Retard got the USA into 2 wars and with the help of the corrupt Wall Street Bankers systematically butchered our economy causing millions of Americans to lose their homes, their jobs, and their belief in government. The entire Congress was Bushwacked just as he was leaving office to give the Bankers Billions of dollars WITHOUT accountability of tax payer money. Under the last Great Lie that our entire country was on the verge of a great depression...Congress rubber stamped the twisted bailout. Everybody knows this to be true. With the Rebublican National Convention on hold for a day...the reporters got bored waiting for Romney to explain why Ryan wanted to Butcher Medicare...so Jeb Bush the Younger decided to create some side orders for the meal hungry news carnivores. He served them fresh red meat instead. Joseph Goebbels the propaganda mastermind of the Third Reich said it like this. If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it".And so Jeb Bush tries in vain to shake the Truth out of the minds of Americans and replace it with a Lie. The reporters aren't stupid. They know George W. Bush The Retard and his Napoleonic Complex got the USA into this mess right from the beginning. The blood soaked sands of ongoing wars delivered for 30 pieces of silver by GW is his legacy for all time. We all know this. We just don't like to talk about it. This is why many reporters were awakened from their deep sleep at the RNC and intrigued how Jeb could bring up the giant elephant in the room. The smell of lies, of deceit, of manipulation, from the past filled the air like a long dead corpse, the GW Presidency. Yes folks, it is the ghost of G.W. Bushwack that is swirling around in Tampa, not just the agitated winds of a tropical storm. And yet, almost as if by magic, this storm is brewing to be a hurricane, a ghost of Katrina, heading full steam ahead towards New Orleans. As if a reminder how G.W.Bush turned his back and allowed all those people's lives to be destroyed. On the exact 7 year anniversary of Katrina, Isaac will deliver a message to remind people of a failed presidency.

USA, Third Reich, Propaganda, 2012

Joesph Goebbels was the propaganda mastermind for Adolph Hitler. He was so good at it, that the USA and Russia studied, copied, and implemented many of Goebbels strategies for population control. Here in 2012 hundreds if not thousands of news reporters are literally on the payroll of the CIA.
Goebbels said, "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." In others words, not only censor the news, but create it. The word 'propaganda' means 'information of a biased or misleading nature'. In the 1940's the German newspapers and the weekend movie news were ALL produced with Nazi 'supervision'. Today in the USA the news is also majorly controlled by...government. The American people are being fed a daily book of lies. Is this possible, you ask? Sure it is. A perfect example is how some TV news outlets have 'fact checking' expose's regarding our political candidates. Both Presidential candidates have been caught literally telling lies. But the political ads keep running none the less. Why, you might ask?
Joseph Goebbels said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it".
George Bush the Retard kept saying over and over and over, Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction. He even had Colonel Powell LIE to the United Nations Assembly about this mythical threat. WE...went to war over it and 10 years later are still spending Billions of dollars.
Another lie being sold today. Mitt Romney says in 2020 (if he's elected President) that all of North America will be energy independent from the outside world. B*llsh*t!
The Bush Family, as in two Ex-Presidents are equal partners with the Saudi Royal family. They all jointly own oil processing, refining, and distribution companies...together. That's right. The Bushwacks have always been on the inside with the Saudis. Even though almost ALL of the 911 highjackers were Saudi Arabian citizens...the Bushwacks continue to sleep with the enemy. Saudi oil is with us to stay, Mitt.
War is the top capitalistic cash cow. The money just keeps coming. The USA has been the world policemen since WWII, and will continue to be. The USA is the largest exporter of war goods than any other country. And yet, most people are completely oblivious to this fact.
In the 70's they said, don't believe half of what you read. In 2012, it's all propaganda.

Tampa Bay Fear Mongering

Get your popcorn and potato chips ASAP! The RNC is heading to Tampa Florida and all the buzz is: Home Grown Terrorists and Stopping President Obama. We are under attack! This very evening Wolf Blitzer  CNN mouthpiece interviewed Florida Medicare Felon at Large Governor Rick Scott. The standard questions to flame up the reporting were present. Are we 'prepared' for the coming onslaught with American Anarchists? was shot straight from Wolf's lips. The only Governor in history to take the Fifth Amendment 70 times in a fraud disposition, Rick Scott shined like the Florida sun and said we Floridians are ready. I guess Florida can count on keeping the peace like they did in Sanford covering up that nasty murder of the black kid. Make sure you all get some good flavored popcorn for the coming RNC events in Tampa. Get lots of soda too. Keep an eye or two on those militarized corporate funded cops that will be manhandling the kids with koolaid stands.  Heck, Governor Scott can run away with  millions of dollars of medicare fraud, but just don't let those unlicensed roofers, or unlicensed koolaid stands run ship shod  over the government. Florida has jails for those hardened criminals. And we have a possible hurricane heading along the west coast of Florida just at the moment Mitt Romney will explain those five off shore bank accounts and tax havens for the super wealthy. Now here's a guy that can really feel the average Florida workers pain. Florida is a 'tourist' industry state. The mean true wage for tourist workers is minimum wage. Unless of course, the hookers offering their services at the RNC convention include their income in the formula. You know, all those Bible toting convention- goers look down on all those 'service' workers. And yet, it is reported these specialty workers hit the jackpot when the Republicans come to town! I believe CNN reported the hookers as saying, "The Republicans are rainmakers." In street terms, it means cash from the sky. Of course cash  really doesn't fall from the sky, it shows up from off shore bank accounts and individual political donations. No wonder that 'lady' wrote that book called "The Happy Hooker". Cha-ching! I wonder if the militarized police will be getting freebies? And you know I mean donuts. So get yourselves ready for the Red Alert Hyperbole. They can't say "The Russians are coming!" But they can shout "Civil War if Obama Re-Elected!!!"

ACXION and The New World Order

Tonight on Erin Burnett on CNN Erin did a segment on a little known company called ACXION. Most people will forget that name in ten minutes or less. But they shouldn't. Because owning a black man was Legal in 1863 in the USA..it was accepted. In 2012 owning YOUR personal and medical information is Legal. Get the connection? But it is just the beginning. There is in fact a man 'behind the curtains' like in the movie The Wizard of Oz. Except he is not a kind- hearted  nice guy, he is actually a world wide group of covert affiliates hell bent on controlling and enslaving you. This is the New World Order. It is NOT the stuff of conspiracy nuts, it is the methodical orchestrated drive to take over the world, yes the world. And you do it by the use of information, regulation, and taxation. Don't kid yourself as if this is not happening. You should have payed closed attention to Erin Burnett's show. This information selling is a multi-billion dollar a year business. And the buyers of your private information are not just toothpaste companies. It is in fact the United States government. And via the CIA, NSA and FBI they get it for free. That 2 billion dollar plus NSA spy compound out west isn't for studying ant colonies. It was built to study YOU. Because believe it or not, your life is a negotiable instrument. Say what? Yes. There is a huge international trade in body parts as in live kidneys going on right now. And hearts, and livers, and eye balls. Yea, it might make you sick, but this is not the stuff of science fiction. It is reality.
I have a good friend who gave me a link. You should check it out. It definitively lists what these ultra secret organizations agenda  truly is. Here is the link:   http://thecrowhouse.com/secretcovenent.html
Remember, an ill informed public, is a corporate slave on the assembly line.

Obama Hints At False Flag Event

It has been reported today that President Obama said: "If Syria uses chemical weapons, we will take military action." Or something to that effect.
Lol. Everyone knows attacking Syria is a stepping stone for the big prize...Iran. War is coming, and like I said in an earlier post...will it come before or after the election ?
Remember...war is the most profitable enterprise on earth. The economy is flattening. The jobs report is poor. States are filing for bankruptcy. And Greece, Spain and Italy need to avoid going into a depression. What better way to help them than to give them jobs making war goods? I'd bet a dollar the 'orders' for those goods have already been given.
And what's with this Japan-Chinese incident today over an island? Does anyone really believe this wasn't staged? Are we to believe that out of the blue...some shitty little island is so important that it became a violent  confrontation? Really>
Folks, I am not kidding when I say the world is getting ready for war. The powers that be have planned this kind of crap since Cain killed Abel.  
Anyway, I just had to make a point of this False Flag foreshadowing. It's like watching a good mystery movie and picking up on all the clues. Unfortunately when US servicemen and women are put in harms way, it is not entertainment. It is war. 

Romney Ryan and Religion

Romney is on TV claiming each and every American household is in Debt $500,000. That's a whopping Half a million. Due to USA Government Spending.

Really?  And let's suppose this is true. Why haven't We The People heard a clear explanation how this debt was created, who created it (actual names), and what is the process of how it is paid back?

The Federal Reserve is an  Anti-American Cabal. It is Satan Himself.

Romney claims We The People are in Debt 16 Trillion Dollars...$16,000,000,000,000.

Really?

And this money HAS to be paid back?

America is arming itself for the coming assault from the Armies of the Cabal.

We The People owe Nothing.
We The People will defend the Constitution with Violence.
We The People will fight the corrupt government from house to house.

There are millions of armed US Patriots ready to defend the Constitution.
Politicians will not be able to wrap themselves in the American flag and lie.
We The People have Lists of the guilty.

There is a great Storm on the Horizon.

Be A Murder Detective

Here is a link to a case where a ten year old girl was murdered. Check it out. Please.
http://amymihaljevic.blogspot.com/

In 1989 on October 27TH, a Friday,  I went to pick up my kids and then return to my home for weekend visitation. Usually I took the road along the lake but as I approached the city of Bay Village I had to take a detour. The road was closed due to a major sewer project. So I was forced to meander around some side streets to get through the city. As I headed east I came upon a stop light in front of a strip mall, it turned red.
To my left I saw an old antique style blue pick up truck with wooden slats off each side of the back. I 'think; the vehicle also had a metal frame on top where one might put ladders. As the truck drove pass me heading south I saw the driver jumping and twitching around in his seat as if on drugs. I'm not sure why, but I got a bad feeling about the guy. Then I noticed what I thought was a young girl on the passenger side leaning her back against the door, but looking away from me towards the driver. I just felt that something evil was going on here. As fate would have it, I drove the approximately 45 minute drive home with my kids. We would spend the night there with my girlfriend. As I turned on the TV and the local news, I was shocked to see a news report about a missing ten year old girl. The news woman was standing in front of the strip mall I had passed. Sometime in the early winter the girls body was found. Her case has never been solved. Over the next 20 years I would mail my 'tip' into the Bay Village Police department. And twice never heard a word or response. Recently I stumbled upon a blog that keeps the case open. I actually bought the book about this case and exchanged emails with the author. I also emailed the police chief about my 'tip'.

Please take a look at the link and read the author's entries. His book is a good read also.

The little girl's name was  Amy Renee Mihaljevic.

To Be or Not To Be?

 "Life The Only Dance there is."

I woke up this morning very tired. It could be due to having digested way too much sugar yesterday. They say sugar is bad for you. It is like a drug, an addiction, and consequences. Our human bodies are the vehicles for our souls. We use the this body to drive us around the world. We use our five senses, touch, smell, sight, hearing, and taste to view the real world. But is this all there is? Are we not dissimilar to any common mammal? Heck, they too take care of there young, feed them, nurture them, protect them. They just don't get stuck with buying clothes. We humans have dreams and aspirations. Many of us have heard the line from Shakespeare "To Be Or Not To Be?"  It means different things to different people. We are here on this planet for awhile, so I guess it might be a good thing to make ourselves comfortable. Some people aspire to do great things, others not so much. Then there is all that grey area in between the two extremes. But for me it all boils down to daily happiness. How many people do you know that just seem rarely happy? Rarely show a smile? Always talking about some 'problem' they need to attend. And what about success? That daily grind of getting up for work five days a week. What for? Most people are slaves to their material pursuits  Most people  Have to go to work. They don't have a choice. And when you are working you have to think constantly about working. You must be focused, paying attention, and getting work things done. When you come home, there are other things to get done. The days slip pass like leaves blowing off trees. Suddenly there are no more leaves, just the barren trunk. What's it all about? Have you chosen to take a certain road? Or were you nudged by family, friends, or education. Have you ever really been Free? Really? What is being free actually mean? No man is an island. And yet, often it seems we want to get away. We want to find a place or time to get off the spinning world. Just sit and watch the world go by.Take a break, a rest, a moment to reflect and question. Where am I going? Why? Is this really important? Life is a verb. If we sit too long, it's like we might miss the dance. We might miss our chance. And so we get back onto the swing of things. Let's get going. Move out. What's happening? Let's get going. Or we can take the path less traveled. It might be a street with no name, but it might lead us to what we're looking for.

The Golden Rule

AU is the atomic symbol for Gold. That shiny yellow metal that is rarer than an honest politician. When we were young we all heard someone say at least once, "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you". I think that's it. People need to get along in this wild world of ours. Otherwise we'd have, well, what we have today. Wars, rumors of wars, more rumors of wars. Which brings up the new definition of the Golden Rule. And believe it or not, it ALL began with Richard M. Nixon. (at least in modern times) The new rule is: Whoever has the Gold...Rules.
Around 1968 Nixon took the USA off the gold standard and thus allowed the Federal Reserve Banking System to Rule the World. Yes, it is that simple. The USA is the only country in the world that simply prints trillions of worthless dollars and circulates them world wide. It was a great idea to Control and Conquer the world, but at a cost. Since 1968 to the present the USA has incurred a National Debt owed to the Federal Reserve of not less than 14 Trillion dollars. In others words, what is holding up the world's economy?
Nothing.
Remember this, when all else fails, war is profitable. When you are under water and running out of oxygen and about to die..what do you do? You find a way to steal someone else's oxygen. Historically when things got bad, nations invaded other nations and stole their wealth. And unless you're the victor, war is expensive. So what happens to all that debt incurred by all sides from all those wars? Nothing really. What happens is all that debt is put on a balance sheet and stretched out until there is enough revenue to pay it off. At least in theory this is what is done.
But in practice, in reality, the USA just prints more and more worthless money to cover costs and of course go much deeper into debt. This monetary Ponzi scheme could last forever, I guess. Unless someone realizes the money is fake, and decides to print their own funny money. What happens if China just prints fake Chinese dollars? Would the USA accept them? Who knows. But something is terribly wrong. The USA is nearing the Financial  Cliff so our Congress tells us. The questions is, what can be done? The answer is, War!

Our good old buddy War is coming to rescue us. We might not have the Gold to rule, but we have the printing presses. And war is the single most profitable commodity on the planet, for the victor.

Creativity

In the mid 1970's I wanted to be a writer. I think many young people wanted to be. For me it was more of a a romantic dream of sorts. I remember reading about Hemingway's life, the women, the drinking, the fishing, and of course he shot his brains out with a shotgun. Honestly I never read many of his books. I was attracted to his lifestyle. On one hand we had factory jobs, and on the other we had people that wrote books and made money. I think it was in 1969 that the Godfather, the book, came out. I know the movie made a lot of money back then. So, wanting to be a published writer I thought that I had a better chance writing Sci-Fi. With science fiction you can let your mind go wild. Being young and wild..hehehe..I gave it a shot. I wrote a short story titled Flight To Nowhere. And it went nowhere. However there was one small hint of...creativity in the short story. The narrative had pointed out how a young man broke in to the government's secret communication system and subsequently released new technology to the world. It was electronic mail, called email for short. This idea was in 1976. The story went..nowhere. But low and behold, something imagined by a young man actually manifested in the real world. This is a true story. And it shows how creativity and the ability to imagine are powerful gifts that come from God. However somehow, along our paths through the education system, creativity gets funneled into music or art, sometimes creative writing, but much of it gets lost. Once, I imagined using boring carrots as chips like potato chips. I sliced them, stuck them in the oven, and salted them. My mother's kitchen wasn't exactly a manufacturing think tank, so this idea too was abandoned. Then one day while shopping at a department store, there by the escalator in a wooden drum..was a pile of foil wrapped carrot chips. Apparently it had been a good idea after all. In today's world cheap foreign labor and robots are replacing American workers. Yes, this is not good for people having large families like rabbits, but it might have a silver lining. Americans might be be forced 'out of need' to use Creativity to survive. The fact that all those manufacturing jobs are never ever coming back, just might encourage a new renaissance here in the states. Just think of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and that Zuckerberg  fellow from the ivy league school. Creativity and imagination are fundamentally important to all of us. So take a day off from work or school, and play a little. Allow yourself to be  free from the artificial limitations imposed on you. As a man thinketh...so is he.

2013 Super Blizzard

I had a vision recently. I know most people believe in something. Most people are smarter than given credit. They know when they are being bullsh*tted and they know when something might be true. How many times have you said or know someone who said, "I just knew it! I should have trusted my instincts". And we all have dreams. Not all dreams are the same though.Some have more of a movie 'feel' about them. We remember some of them when an 'event' happens and then suddenly we remember. It's usually an Oh My God! occurrence. And there are other dreams. Recurring nightmares that we relive over and over and if lucky enough are able to awaken as to lesson their terror.

The North and South poles have been melting a lot in recent years. This water is fresh water and there is literally millions upon millions of tons of it. It gets sucked into the thermocline conveyor belt that circumvents the globe. It is the single most important powerhouse that regulates our seasons bar none. It is in climatic terms the weather maker. Without going into great detail, it is a delicate global mixture of salt and fresh water that commingle around the earth giving us not just the four seasons but the highs and lows of the four seasons. In others words, this watery conveyor belt of heat is the life blood of many nations. It determines the amount of precipitation that falls in both winter and summer. Our world's supply of grain crops is directly controlled by this natural phenomenon. Even small changes in the salinity of this system impact the world's food supply. Now, recently even though we had world record heat temperatures in July 2012, the normal hurricane development has been stymied by something strange. When the low depressions form off the continent of Africa...they have been fizzling out mid way across the Atlantic ocean. Why? The Conveyor belt is not feeding the potential hurricanes because the water is too cold. The melting ice caps both North and South are contributing to...snow ball earth. Yes this is what I said. Even though the temperatures are skyrocketing and will continue to do so..the earth's climate is heading for catastrophic changes. I am Predicting now, in August 2012, that 2013 will go down in history as the coldest, snowiest, most blizzard inundated winter in centuries. And this is just the beginning. The effect on food supplies will create crisis after crisis. Again, remember this month, this prediction, here at the Luna Cee Pub.

Politics and Crime

Securities fraud, also known as stock fraud and investment fraud, is a deceptive practice in the stock or commodities markets that induces investors to make purchase or sale decisions on the basis of false information, frequently resulting in losses.
In politics it appears one can say ANYTHING to get elected and even if it is a despicable lie..its okay. 
The so called political theater is truly an amazing place where crimes can be committed in blaring TV commercials and there is no accountability. 
FALSE INFORMATION has been criminally used to steal billions of dollars throughout history from swamp land schemes in Florida, to Enron and Worldcom, Bernie Madoff, and the recently Barclays LIBOR scandal.   
But in Politics..you can literally lie your way into office. And once there, wield power over laws, banks, and millions of people. A top notch criminal. 
Although throughout history there are many financial scandals, the core cause is always the same. Greed. But to enact your greedy ways you must have a support team. The massive housing and financial crisis of 2007 was in part lead by Goldman Sachs. Now up to nine of the companies officers are in President Obama's cabinet. The US justice department decided NOT to press charges against Goldman Sachs in 2011. Gee, I wonder why? 
The relationship between the media puppet masters, the bankers, and all level of government is Trillions of Dollars worse than some local mafia wise guy. Just cruise the net yourself and see all the billions of dollars stolen by government and its cohorts. It is literally like waking up and realizing the entire US political system from the President to the local mayor is nothing more than a cesspool of corruption and greed. Add the bad cops and totally corrupt judges and ...wow. 
Is there hope? It all depends how you define 'hope'. I suggest people read and get informed about the Second Amendment. Learn why we have it, the importance of having it, and how in countries that didn't have it, the people were literally enslaved and butchered. The USA has the highest number of criminals behind bars in the world. This is by design. There will come a day soon, whereby political prisoners will be added to the caged quickly, silently, and legally. The prisoners will be folks like your neighbors, your family members, and you. Keep an eye open for the signs of the times. Watch and be prepared. And trust no one. 

The Dark Rift: Our Dilemma

At the center of our galaxy the Milky Way is a fine line of stars and star matter. In that unimaginable realm of cosmic esoterica lies the Dark Rift. The Mayans allege through their calender that around the year 2012 Dark Forces will be returning to earth. I suspect if they do, they will be robotic and very dangerous. Thousands of years ago these same robotic spacecraft landed on the mountains in South America and created the well known Plains of Nazca lines. The robots methodically mined the mountains and also literally leveled a mountain top creating  a landing strip for future use. Since the nearest star which would have viable planets is 4.3 light years away...these robots and the culture that created them is far superior to us earthly cave men. I suspect if they return they are coming back to harvest. One can only compare our civilization to theirs as one would compare us to a boxed ant farm in a classroom of kids. We are the ants. The universe is a food chain. Period. It always has been and always will be. Living things need to eat other living things to survive. Subsequently we have a dog eat dog world. And we have millions of criminals in our prison system. I posted yesterday about police in Jonesboro Arkansas murdering a young black man. This is true and it is a horrible act of pure evil. But we as a civilization have a huge Dilemma. With out police...the world as such would be a living hell. Can you imagine having the 2 million convicted criminals released from prison and contributing to society? What if they were in charge? What if the baddest of the bad ruled the world? Considering most of the world now is involved in some form of violent conflict, and most people are ruled by dictatorships or oppressive regimes, can you imagine having the Rome of Nero come back to modern times?  Allow your mind to envision a world of brutal slavery ruled by the Church of Satan. See millions of millions of human beings slaughtered for pig food. See the Nero Olympic Games with head bashing, body dismemberment, and giant orgies where man and beast interbreed. See a world where hope is a quick death, a world where the cries of a rotting humanity never end. It is a fine line we walk between madness and oppression. Our destiny is fragile and littered with wormholes to hell and edged by cliffs of doom. There is an eternal battle between good and evil, and it is fought daily in the dark rift of our collective hearts.

Chavis Carter Murdered By Police

Wow. A black man handcuffed with hands behind his back in the back of a police car commits suicide. He was left handed but shot in right side of head. Police claim he shot himself.
This is simply a murder of a US citizen. The national media has been dragging its feet to report this horrible crime. I actually stumbled on the story.
The FBI is supposedly looking in to it. I hope they do a good job, because America is getting tired of this kind of oppression by force. The claim of suicide by police is outrageous. America is disintegrating into a third world hell hole. Police brutality will not go unchecked or unpunished. If America is becoming a police state then all hell is going to erupt. The man had a small $10. bag of pot on him, was handcuffed and pushed into the back of a police car, then murdered.
Storm clouds are on the horizon here in the USA.

Woe To The Conquered

Woe to the conquered. A simple statement of thought to utter across ones lips. Perhaps a more colorful  line; To the gallows! Or then again, a real gotcha ; Cut their throats!
When good men are disarmed, the victors not only write history, they erase rather quickly the opposing view. Usually in large groups and with extreme violence those conquered are disposed. So it is with this sentiment that I  approach the media's latest sales pitch; Gun Control. Because you have to remember that the media is a for- profit Enterprise. Most people think erroneously that the media is there to protect us. Not so. They are in fact there to make money. This would explain why after a wackadoo shoots up a theater...all the news coverage everywhere is on that story. Even though more important stories are out there. A well known intelligent news commentator has jumped on the bandwagon and has addressed Gun Control. Even though I value his opinion, and respect him, I think he is wrong on this one. Sometimes explaining ones stance in simplistic terms works well. At least for me. I view gun control in almost a mathematical formula. Throughout history we see guns on one side of the equation, and few if any on the other side of the equation.
Irregardless which side is morally right or wrong...who do you think wins? How many hundreds of millions of people have suffered because they were on the wrong side of the equation? Because on earth we have billions of people who historically just don't get along...it is paramount that the Individual keeps his God given Right to protect himself and his family. The world has never had a moment since Cain and Abel  without violence. And I think it is fair to say..much of the violence is instigated by those who are essentially violent. There seems to be a collective amnesia when it comes to the common folk being oppressed by government. And in today's world maybe its just ignorance or apathy to deny the sad state of mankind in general. Aside from a few democracies..the world is run by tyrants. And they rule by violence. Period. Our founding fathers knew this all too well. They specifically argued for years back and forth on how to include the Right to Bear Arms in the Constitution. This Right is not about rabbit hunting. It is about one word...Liberty.

Win A Ruby for Best Comment(Ended)

Swine Flu Hits 3 Midwest States: Bio-Warfare?

Folks I just posted a few days ago how the false flag events will begin to pop up around the USA. I said IF any kind of bio-warfare incident occurs..just look at the CIA. Well just within the last hour on the news...it appears swine flu has hit 3 Midwest states, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Of course this down wind from Kansas where the New Plum Island Biological War Breeding Factory is located in Manhattan Kansas. In spite of protest by students at the Kansas State University, the Highly Toxic Germ Warfare Laboratory should be completely up and running this month, August 2012. The process of transferring billions of deadly germs from Plum Island won't be completed until 2020...due to the 'high risk' nature of transporting  enough germs to wipe out the entire country. The news is quickly stating this is not the deadly H1N1 swine flu..it's just the weaker cousin. Nothing to get uptight about. I find it amazing that with the drought destroying much of the corn crop and food prices already soaring..that suddenly pigs are infected with a virus that literally is transmitted to humans. One has to ask what the hell is our government doing in our heartland? Folks, I believe that the self fulfilling prophecy is upon our great nation. Uncle Sam had gone crazy and is now  creating very dangerous situations here on American soil. The news media has been very weak in covering the six different military war zones we are now involved. The media is doing a very good job covering for the corrupt Congress, by under reporting all the bad news that is happening all over the world. See, if you control the news flow, and control the news content, you can keep the general population ill informed and dumbed down. Israel is about to bomb Iran...and We The People will have our US military there..yet..our news stations aren't covering the signs of the times. There are nights that not a single word is mentioned about Iraq or Afghanistan, or Libya or Egypt or Yemen...just a few quick shots at that hell hole going on in Syria where civilians are being slaughtered. So, this brings us to the whole point of writing this op/ed piece. Where are all the educated people from all those universities? Why aren't they on TV demanding answers? Why are the educated youth organizing in the streets against the corrupt policies of a failing federal government? Could it be...they are afraid? Are the citizens of the United States of America finally Afraid of their own government? The Feds don't have those 800 FEMA camps lined with barbed wire for dinner parties.

A Day At The Luna Cee Pub

 I watched a show last night on the science channel, Morgan Freeman was the narrator. The show began with the question; Did God create Us? Or did we create God? I thought the show might be interesting. After all, it is religion that influences us more than politics. The show didn't answer that question. It was more of a convoluted tale about how and when we acquire our relationship with God. Frankly, it wasn't one the better shows on the sci-fi channel. But it got me thinking. I thought about how short our lives are here on earth. We go to school and study all that history from Australopithecus to George Bush Retardicus. But where do we actually fit in? What I mean is, after much thought, it would seem that each one us is kind of like a Thinking Machine but biological not mechanical. We travel through life, this space-time continuum, and then we die. 
Our bodies cease to function and actually disintegrate into the pieces of stars, of which we were made.
So in effect, we only existed during that one short period of time. Technically modern humans have been around for approximately 70 thousand years. And each one of us gets about a hundred years IF we are lucky. It makes me think we are not so dissimilar than the leaves on a tree. We are..temporary and replaceable Not really a good feeling.
An interesting point on that TV show was that as children we realize we are not in control of our lives, and so, we decide there must be...a God. And it is out of our lack of control, and our vulnerability that having a God comes into play. Sociologists tells us that the poorer you are the more apt you try to be closer to God. I would speculate that the closer we are to death...makes us want to be closer to a God. (lol) But irregardless of whether God exist, how he exist, where he is, or why he is...once we are born into this world...we have no choice  but to live it to its end. You cannot turn back and say "No, I will not be born." You are on a journey without your consent. You never asked to be on earth, you never asked to be born during any particular time period, and you didn't get a chance to say "no".
But here you are. And with all that information coming at you via the TV, internet, printed media, etc. ..you try daily to digest all that is and isn't important. Wow. And depending on your biological age, what really matters anyway? I guess it's simply all just relative. Yesterday was no more or less important than today. And today will be no more or less important than tomorrow. What might be important is how we each spend those valuable hours each day called life. There are so many people telling us how to live, we can easily get caught up in their 'thing'. Taking a day off from this fast paced media saturated circus might be a healthy choice. So today I had a big bowl of expresso chocolate chunk ice cream for brunch. And I have been watching back to back to back Ancient Aliens episodes with my dog. My dog Merry, prefers HD. I feel good, and I hope I am not wasting my life.

Democracy Killed By Corporate Syndication

Democracy the great experiment has failed. Not because it was a bad idea, but because the iron link between industry, commerce, and elected officials killed it. Its really a simple paradigm to understand. We can start with the Chamber of Commerce. An organization that behind the scenes controls elected officials from the halls of Congress to your local planning commission. It's all about the money. Just follow the money trail and it will always take you to the deal makers and political career breakers. Did you know that there is enough natural gas to last 200 years and could be used to power cars with clean burning fuel? That by switching from oil based gasoline to LP America could be free from foreign oil. But why hasn't this happened? The iron link between the military-industrial syndicate and Washington controls which natural resource gets used for what purpose. And for America to switch to another fuel besides gasoline would cost the Syndicate trillions of lost dollars. And so they buy politicians. When Congress can be bought and owned and sold and traded by those with the most cash, Democracy is dead. But this is nothing new. Throughout history small groups of men have conspired to overthrow countries, kingdoms, and even Presidents. And they have succeeded. When a country like America goes from being the world leader in industry and manufacturing to a service based industry with 15-20 million illegal aliens digging ditches for city governments across the country...you know it is by design. Period. These clowns we elected both nationally and locally are in cahoots with the commerce syndicate. And frankly, they have their iron hands wrapped around our  throats. The judges in the civil court system represent the most 'buy-able' political commodity. Have you ever heard people say, "How could the judge have ruled that way? It doesn't seen right?" Of course you have, they have been bought off. There was even a New York Supreme Court Judge who got caught red handed taking bribes. Democracy is dead. Our country is run by war mongers and the owners of the corporations that make the weapons of war. There is a lot of money to be made in war. Never forget it. America is what could be defined as a Corporate Oligarchy. I guarantee We The People will at War in the Middle East very very soon. Keep your eyes open and watch for the signs. You might be drafted.

From My Cold Dead Hands

From my cold dead hands...These are the words Charleton Heston  gave at an NRA convention. It is a line repeated  multiple times a day across America. Our country was founded on rugged individualism and the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. And this search often was done with a firearm or rifle at ones side. The phrase 'from my cold dead hands' is meant to convey the fervor and seriousness of Americans willingness to defend our God given right to bear arms, to protect our freedoms, and to protect our families. And this means not just foreign enemies, but domestic. Peter Bergen is a government insider and director at the Washington based 'think-tank' New American Foundation. Like the CIA, NSA, and FBI they too have a 'database'. In other words they are another tentacle of the government-quasi-government and government funded spy system rapidly expanding to oppress American freedoms. Under the guise of being a 'watchdog' organization that keeps track of right wing hate groups activities here in the US, it has a powerful funded voice that can be used by those wanting to repeal your right to protect yourself, your property and your family. When organizations like the New American Foundation scream incendiary rhetoric about right wing terrorist groups on US soil making biological warfare weapons, one has to ask what really is going on? Should the government issue gas masks to all US citizens? Should the government enforce mandatory interrogations of suspicious Americans? Should We The People allow government agents into our homes without search warrants so we can be protected? Like Chicken Little screamed...'the sky is falling the sky is falling'..so do anti-freedom organizations hell bent on 'controlling' the American way of life, they way THEY see it. I dare say...IF there is any biological anything happening here on US soil...you can bet your last dollar it will be some directly connected to the CIA. These clowns have historically murdered US citizens, poison our air, and infected Americans with toxins and drugs in the name of 'National Security'. Don't take my word for it, do your own research. Jesse Ventura had a TV show called Conspiracy Theories...it was cancelled and he basically disappeared. Why? He was exposing the corrupt government for what it truly is. Americans should look up the phrase 'false flag' and read about how history has been changed by devious plans percolated by a handful of power hungry elite. The New World Order is upon us.

Please Click on Ads or Post or Both

Capitalism is the American way of life. Although we have a corrupt government that sucks the life blood out of our lives, America is still the best place on earth to make money. It is true we all have opinions, and it is also true we like to express them. I created this blog called The Luna Cee Pub as an open forum where anyone can spit venom with out fear of being thrown out of the bar. You can post anything you want in the comments section. Every month I will be giving away one award for the best comments. For the month of August it is a beautiful Ruby. I have posted a picture of it on the Ruby thread. I WILL be giving it away at the end of the month. For obvious reasons if you win...I'll have to find out where to mail it. So I suggest you might consider using a fake name or trade name or cool name so I can ID the winner. And it could be you.
The reason I ask you all to click on the ads if you might be interested in that particular product...is this blog might earn a few pennies. At this point in time, since about July 11TH, I've earned about $6.00. LOL. So I am not making money per se. But I am having fun letting off steam about the Way I See life. AND I want you too to let off steam! Or if you win the local lottery in your state...come here and blow your horn, real loud! If you ever decide to start a blog...remember you as the blog owner...CANNOT click ads. This action will disqualify you for any pennies you might have earned. My goal is to eventually use any monies accumulated here to play the Power Ball Lotto. I don't play much, and I haven't won even a free ticket yet.
But I think it's up to 212 million dollars as of today. 50 million more and I could be as rich as Mitt Romney!
Anyway, next month I'll be having a new prize for the best comment. It might a sapphire or maybe an old coin. You never know what I might find in that black bag. But please visit often and please take an interest in some of the ads. And...Post a Comment!

Gunsmoke, Matt Dillon and SWAT Teams

I just watched an old Gunsmoke show starring James Arness as the Marshall. I always admired that man in the old west. One man against usually a handful of criminals. One man standing tall for the law. A soft spoken man, a polite man, and man with integrity and pride. And he always got the job done. But nowadays it seems even on TV shows, it takes a group of high tech specially trained militarized police to the job of one man. They all dress like special ops. Like ninja warriors the cops wear black clothes, and helmets, and high powered machine gun type weapons. I guess they look cool and all. I guess it's more safe for each one as they storm a drug house with guns drawn. I guess there is safety in numbers. I think that SWAT stands for Special Weapons and Tactics team. But I've also noticed how most police no longer look or act like Sheriff Andy Taylor from Mayberry. They mostly look and act like darkly dressed bouncers. Have you seen a cop smile lately? It makes me wonder if they all are pumping iron and doing roids? And have you noticed the tattooed cops? That really blew me away when the 5 feet 4 inch cop at the park had a black barbed wired tattoo around his bicep. I think he wanted me to notice it, honestly. I think there has been a marked behavioral change in how the average cop conducts his business. They all act like they are in New York City. There's something about a cop with an attitude that is most unappealing. Whatever happened to the Peace Officer demeanor? The guy who waves and smiles or tips his hat? Nope. It's almost like the police are on active duty in the armed forces, and We The People are harboring the enemy. You know, the more I think of it, it's true. In America you are guilty now until proven innocent. One wonders how this generalized dislike for police has evolved? Can it be that We The People all know we have Criminal intentions?  That we all know we are born suspects? That the police are the knights in shining armor and We The People are just servants of the state? There appears to have been a great change in America. Somehow the average citizen, tax payer, worker bee, voter, simply is not getting the respect We The People deserve. The police were once the ones to Serve and Protect...not ones to intimidate or dictate. But times have changed. So now we are at a crossroads in America. Never ever before has the Second Amendment been so important to a Free People.

The Feds Say We Are Surrounded

The Southern Poverty Law Center claims there are over 1000 hate groups in the US. It says it has been tracking the Wisconsin wackadoo who killed the Sikhs in their temple for years. The FBI also tracks people. There seems to be a whole lot of 'tracking' going on here in America. There seems to be a lot of government everywhere. We The People have funded Drones worth Billions to spy on us. We The People have funded that super giant NSA Spy complex called the Utah Data Center for 2 Billion. And just like the recent NASA 2.6 Billion dollar Mars spacecraft...it seems there is a lot of money just blowing in the wind. Much of it being used to watch US citizens. (It didn't cost 2.6 Billion to go to Mars, the NSA siphoned much of it off)
Remember this: As long as We The People believe the government that there are 1000 hate groups in the USA...we will have our rights eroded...we will become corporate-governmental slaves. The rich masters like mayor Bloomberg want to take away your Right to protect your family. Then they can and will own you.
Yes, it is terrible that this wackadoo killed those innocent people. Yes it is terrible that other wackadoo killed those theater patrons. But to allow the government to become our master is exactly what Adolf Hitler did in Germany. Germany had a large middle class. Germany was family oriented. Germany slowly descended into hell when Secret Police like our NSA popped up everywhere spying on it's own people. Under the guise of 'protecting'  the common family...Hitler's Secret Police started with Information gathering, then detention, then concentration, then mass murder. ONCE you have Secret Police, wire tapping, computer tapping, cell phone tapping, bank account tapping, and the new Patriot Act..We The People are in for a very bad time. I've posted this before, as long as our government tells us we have Enemies...they will milk the Federal Reserve for Trillions...and they have. And they will use that money to oppress us...We The People. This is NOT science fiction. This is NOT a fairy tale. This IS reality here and now in the USA. The USA has 1000 times too much government on all levels, Fed, State, County, Municipal, and Local. Government IS the Hate Groups. Government treats you like garbage. Government makes your life harder. Government burdens you with massive debt. Government breeds like a cancer. President Ronald Reagan said" "get the government off the backs of the American people."

Gemstone Basics

Many people have always believed, erroneously, that stunning gemstones are only available for the wealthy. Not so anymore. A very quick lesson in gemology will help you make wise decisions when buying that significant other of yours something very special. The knowledge I am sharing is from my own personal research and purchases. Around the year 1900 most gemstones were actually misrepresented and sold by odd names. The deception was not all intentional. Many stones as they were called were classified according to color. Many different gems of the same color were sold as one in the same. The good news nowadays is for the most part most gemstones are correctly named and most treatments by law are told upfront to the customer. Rubies like most stones come out of the ground and have many imperfections. Only those with few internal 'inclusions' are rare and worth thousands of dollars per carat. But things have changed. You can buy natural rubies that have been heat treated and/or had beryllium glass microscopically filled in crevasses. These stones obviously are not as rare as 100% natural ones, but technically are 90% natural. But their price is a fraction of the cost. There is more, so you will have to do your research. But there is no reason you cannot buy stunning rubies, sapphires, and even some emeralds that fit your budget. For an example, I purchased online a 4.3 carat oval ruby for under $100. It is far better in terms of being 90% natural, than those man made un-natural stones that stores like Sears and Walmart carry and sell in ring and pendent settings. Look close when you are checking them out, they usually are marked 'synthetic'. And frankly, they are not cheap. BUT you can buy loose stones online that are spectacular and 90% natural and have them set in silver or gold settings that YOU choose. This is not only a fun hobby, it can be profitable. Do some window shopping. Check out the prices of treated stones everywhere, Sears, Walmart, Jewelry Television Online, and others. The quality for 'treated' stones varies greatly just as the quality of 100% natural stones. BTW,(by the way) did you know that over 90% of ALL stones on the market..including expensive stores like Tiffany's also carry treated stones? Yes they do. So go out and start learning as much as you can about this dynamic market and have fun. Because the more you know, the more excited you will be, and the more fun you'll have buying gemstones you can afford.

Eating To Live Longer

Just finished an online survey to get a FREE Burger King Whopper. It took about four minutes. My wife is a carnivore. I gave up beef over a year ago for health reasons. But I still love the smell of grilled roadkill. I mean beef. You know, we Americans are all overweight. It's true. I saw a study on TV recently where the scientists says that Sugar is killing us. Not just due to making us vulnerable to Type 2 Diabetes, but also sugar helps create bad cholesterol. The sticky stuff that silently clogs the arteries. Did you know that it is the arteries that take Oxygenated blood to all the living cells in your body? And that the veins return un-oxygenated blood back to the heart to get pushed into the lungs and pick up more O2? If you feel short of breath a lot and even if you aren't over 40...you might have clogged arteries. Can you imagine doing yard work on a hot day wearing a plastic bag on your head? IF your arteries are clogged...you might feel short of breath and fatigued after minimal yard work. I suggest you get life insurance for your wife and kids ASAP.
All the talk for the last 40 years has been about reducing fat. Truth is...it is the extra or excess fructose that is accumulating in our blood stream like the goo from candied apples. I guess I just dated myself, as I'm not certain they make candied apples anymore. When I was a kid and the local church had fall carnivals...candied apples and caramel apples were huge. It was a time when we would take pillow covers and go trick or treating in the dark for hours. Bags and bags of candy! I don't think at that time our family had dental insurance like they do now. But I do remember one lady made home made popcorn balls. As you ran around the streets you could smell the sweet popcorn in the air. Back then our TV only got three channels and the internet did not exist. Cable TV didn't exist either. We did have library cards and did use them for awhile. The internet or the WWW, world wide web, really does provide useful information very quickly. Literally at your finger tips. Millions of health tips for FREE are available. But then again, millions of great recipes and food ideas are there for the taking. My wife got really excited when I told her I'd fill out the online survey for that FREE Whopper. It's amazing how quickly calories find their way into our lives. I wonder if the internet offers discount coupons for medicinal spirits like brandy, wine or beer? I read on this internet that red wine is very Good for my heart. I'd better stock up, I want to live a long life. Oh yea, I hear dark chocolate is very good too. I'd better pick up a few bags if I'm going to eat healthy. That reminds me, nutmeats like jumbo cashews are good also. Better put them on my list. So much eating...just to be healthy!

What Are Your Favorites Movies?

Papillon made in 1973 starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman is one of my favorites. I enjoy movies with landscapes from far away places. Now I can watch TV shows and movies in HD. What a trip! I once made a list of my top 100 movies. The intention was to follow up with why they meant something to me. I'll share a few here. A Man Called Horse starring Richard Harris is a great one. He too, like McQueen, has already passed on. Maybe because of my age, in my fifties, it seems there is a great 'churning' of sorts going on. There is a great turnover from one generation to another. I grew up with TV, unlike the previous generation that grew up with mostly books. Which brings up the movie The Time Machine based on the novel by H.G. Wells. They made two such movies. I liked the one starring Rod Taylor. I saw a picture of him recently, he should go back in time. He also played in the movie The Birds, the Alfred Hitchcock thriller. His co star was Hedy Lamarr. Her daughter is Melanie Griffith...quite a beauty. Again it seems time is racing forward. Another great movie is Das Boot, The Boat in German. It's about a German Submarine at the end of WWII, starring Jurgen Prochnow. He also starred in a movie with Demi Moore in the movie The Seventh Sign (1988). BTW, My wife and I enjoy science fiction a lot. That movie with Will Smith called I am Legend was very good. I don't have the list of 100 readily available but I'd like to list a few more movies. The movie called Barabbas starring Anthony Quinn was great. Quinn was such an intriguing actor. And speaking of intrigue, how about Vincent Price> I loved him in The Pit and The Pendulum. Nobody can ever match the facial expressions he created as he slowly became a madman. And then when he put that black skull cap on he looked simply diabolical. Speaking of acting, what about The Shining with Jack Nicholson? Now there's a movie to get a big bowl of popcorn and a flask of brandy. Nicholson actually does comedy quite well. I laughed like hell in the movie Going South. He plays a frisky gold miner-horse thief. Oh yes, and Clint Eastwood and his  spaghetti westerns! Hang Em High, The Good, Bad, and Ugly. But Eastwood also played a Union soldier in the movie The Beguiled. THAT movie is a study for a sociology class. I also enjoy those old 1940 and 1950 vampire movies. And those early black and white sci-fi movies were also great. Do you remember Peter Cushing? and Christopher Lee? Now a days everything is so high tech and realistic.The older movies somehow allowed you to use you imagination. You could get lost in those movies. I think I'll rent one today, maybe a real old classic titled King of Hearts. It's about a town evacuating during a war and leaving the mental patients in the asylum abandoned. A soldier quits the war and makes the asylum his home.

Religion and Sex

Did you ever feel Compelled to bring up an issue ? Compelled by definition means "Forced to"..I always thought it meant internally forced or internally moved to action, like "That's it..I'm going to...". I never thought it meant anything less than someone finally speaking up...I could be wrong with this word, but my emotional angst tells me I am Compelled to talk about Truth VS Lies. I want to make this as simple as I can. I do not want to clog the issue with religious rhetoric. Just keep it simple, my ex football coach used to say. Boil it down and get it out. IF Jesus is the Son of God...then why would He allow pedophiles in His church conducting sermons in His name..for 2000 years? I am not talking about the last 50 years here in America. I am pointing to the last 2000 years...that means the last 200 centuries..of sexual abuse by Holy Men against children and others. I just don't believe that Jesus wouldn't have intervened very early IF He had a choice. People can and do pray to the Christian  God daily. When I say daily, I mean by the billions. Billions of people praying to a God whose Church is saturated with Pedophiles. Not just the Catholic Church, but also the Southern Baptists and many others. YOU go to service in a Holy Church..and while you are worshiping God..His people..are molesting your children. This happens every day in America, let alone the World. And God Himself does nothing. Absolutely nothing. For centuries, for eons of time, there is no God intervention. Just a historical record of sexual abuse. I am NOT telling you in any way..to not worship. I believe that if not for God. or the Presence of God...life would be so much more horrible for so many. Because it is the Fear of God that hinders the Pedophile. It is the Fear of exposure and Condemnation that puts  a very weak protective circle around those most vulnerable. What I am saying is that Holiness and Religiosity is Bullshit. Complete Bullshit. There is no man or woman on earth any more or less Holy than you. As a matter of fact..You might just be THE most Holy person on earth. And I am dead serious. Everyone I have spoke with, has been so mcuh more 'Holy' than any priest rabbi or minister I've ever met. It is the Spirit that dwells with the common people where I find the Goodness of God. It is NOT in the churches, the mosques, the synagogues, that I find Holiness. It is with people like you. God needs not a brick or wood building to Talk to You. He does not require the memorization of all chapters in Holy books. He does not ask you to give others money if you are in need. You were borne into this world alone, and will die alone. And as you stand before God...you will stand alone. He will not care who is behind you..or who you socialized..or who you sought guidance. You will be alone face to face with God...and He will hold You accountable for your actions. Just you.

San Bernardino Files for Bankruptcy

San Bernardino, a California city with a population near 200,000 citizens is filing for bankruptcy. One in a long list of corrupt mismanaged cities in the USA doing just the same. First,  the nepotism is absolutely wild across the country. People get the brothers, sisters, cousins jobs in local government and then it becomes generational. And then mismanaging mishandling and simply stealing becomes easier. There is so much cronyism going on its shocking. A couple of years ago in Cleveland Ohio, the county government's office had over 20 people indicted and tried, and convicted for  crime in government. They all had similar connections or relationships. Down here in Florida, the governor Rick Scott is a career criminal...he took the Fifth Amendment over 70 times for medicaid/medicare fraud...and the senile white retirees voted him into the governors office. Unbelievable. Just go online and do the fact checking. Big and small cities with million dollar budgets are filing for bankruptcy. It's not just because tax revenues are down, its because officials mismanaged their offices. It would nice to indict more of the wise guys, but in some cities the police departments have been gutted. In Ohio, a small town called Avon Lake, had back to back Mayors go to prison. It's kind of funny watching those memorial day parades knowing those mayors were doing time. What is it with government that these elected people simply can't remain honest? I think they get elected and then actually start taking themselves serious...as if they are important. What is and should be important is taking care of the peoples business. But with all these city bankruptcies, one wonders if investigations should be initiated. Too many chicken hawks are watching chicken coop, There needs to be accountability somehow. When you ask people, they all agree, but no one knows how to start the investigations. And attorneys? lol. Any good and honest attorney can only be found as a fictional character in a book. Atticus Finch in the book To Kill A Mockingbird never existed. God didn't make DNA for good lawyers like the character. One wonders that with all these educated people here on US soil, why can't citizens organize government watch committees to monitor and report on the lazy, incompetent, and sometimes illegal activities? Sometimes I wish we all lived in the Old West and the Sheriff would come out with his gun drawn and he'd say. " Govenor Scott! Put those hands up! Now tell me Governor, Why did you need to take the Fifth Amendment 70 times in that Fraud grand jury room?" 

The Reality of Blogging

When I was young a very long time ago, we were instructed to read Earnest Hemingway as a school requirement.  It was a real period of enlightenment for me. I suffered greatly from ADD and had to struggle to read any book for any length of time longer than five minutes. The distractions around my mind were as imposing as a ragtime band in 2012. Noise, bang, clap, bang, noise, kaboom! And yet in moments of concrete focus I forced myself to stay the course, pause, and think. To think about what I was reading, each and every line. I wondered if this reading thing was as difficult for others. I remember some kids reading 50 books during the summer reading program. I thought I would be dumb forever. Because I simply could not do what they did with apparent ease. Earnest Hemingway supposedly wrote in a style called Stream of Consciousness...I imagine it to be similar to a dream. And that could have been a good thing because I dream every night. Always did, always will. But one dream I had, showed me running along a sea coast with many hills. Except all those hills were millions of books and magazines...which in my dream I knew I would never read. And so as I ran and ran I felt weak and hopeless and some how in that dream knew I would fall short. I would never reach the level of academic performance that I so desired. It was always as if I had to fight to understand, fight to learn, and fight to get smarter. And frankly not much has changed.. The monster that has inhibited my desire to be enlightened still feeds on me daily. But now that I am older, and a little wiser, I choose the place and time I will read. Yes, simply read. I love to read. I love to get lost in a good story or book. But I now want to selfishly enjoy it without external or internal distractions. I read to please me. I read to suck the marrow out of life. I read and think because its sets me free. The more knowledge I can absorb the better. The more information I feed this mind that God gave me, the better I feel. Yes, the better I feel. I get high knowing things. I get high understanding things. And I want to know more. I want to experience life as much as possible vicariously as I can. I hope and pray I live to be 100 years young. I want to be selfish and think, and feel, and even create. Yes, my words on electronic paper. My ideas and thoughts before me so I can reread them and examine them over and over. Why? 90% of life is examining and re-examining the thought processes that we intellectually digest and consume called our daily life experiences. As a man thinketh...so is he. I believe that you, yes you, would be a great blogger. You have it within you to share wonderful ideas and life experiences. Your stream of consciousness is just as important and relevant as anyone's, including mine.  Share your reality. Speak up. be silent no more. And remember to send me your link, so I too can go for the ride.

Death

When I die...I want t go quietly, peacefully, serenely, like my grandfather.
Not like the screaming passengers in his car.
Death  is an interesting destiny for all of us. When I was very young I had an uncle who passed away. They lowered his body into the ground and it seemed at the time like a great deep hole. Then they covered him up with a pile of dirt. Later we drove to his sister's house in an old coal mining town. The whole family had been into coal mining as a livelihood. I watched as they entered into the side of a mountain, and followed the licorice black tunnel of an abandoned mine. They left me alone at the entrance as I had refused to embrace the darkness. I didn't want someone closing the door sealing me forever in that sooty pit. Forever is a long time and time a variable when pondering our unavoidable fate. Some cultures believe Death is simply a door leading to another reality. Some believe it is literally The End. I remember the line from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.."..for one thing is certain, that life flies, a flower once blown, forever dies." For our weak biological bodies it is the end. And like Humpty Dumpty, all the King's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put the body back together again. And who would want that old diseased weathered body back anyway? Not me. I'd like to trade in for a new one. My wife and I often talk about what it is we take with us if we actually do live on in some form. Obviously our memories in some eternal way define who we are. But memories can fade and so it might be only a few memories that define us. You know, none of us are the same as we were when were children. As we accumulated life experiences we changed who we were. And as we accumulated more and more, layering memory upon memory we literally died and were reborn time and time again. If biologically we could live for a hundred thousand years,which memories would define us?
A hundred thousand years has a lot of memories. Someone once said " a life un-examined  isn't worth living."  I'm not sure I agree, however it is true that much of our  lives are 'relived' in our constant thoughtful soul searching. So much of our time here on earth is thinking about our journey over and over and over.One could make a case that it is the churning thought processes that create consciousness and life itself.  Maybe all those stars in the night sky are all souls who have passed on. Maybe they are pure energy pulsating like esoteric spheres in the heavens. Maybe they are the Light in the darkness with a message of Hope.
