What do we do?

I have recieved emails from people that are concerned about the "state of our union." The biggest question is , what do we do? I think, we as citizens need to recognize that indiviual acts of violence and "marches" have done NO good to get the attention of our representatives. Second, the "art" of spin in the media seems to always silence those who have a legitimate arguement and/or evidence of wrong doing, i.e., you will hear a little "blurb" or nothing at all. The old saying, "knowledge is power" is key here. I say this in a rhetorical sense. The once free press/media is stifled with policy and control from regulators and owners. The more citizens come up with non-violent ways to get our voices heard, the more entrenched our laws against our citizens become. Think about it, Believe it or not, our "law makers" have actually created "free speech zones" at rallies and public meeting places. I'll wager MOST people do not know this. You are free to speak as long as you do it in a designated area away from your public officials and representatives. Hysterical huh? The question of "what do we do" poses an interesting new question in my mind. ARE people so used to getting things done for them that they do not understand what needs to be done with THEIR personal involvement? In essense, my point is simple, I'll use simple logic, remember the truth is painful sometimes. How MANY people will gather their freinds and family members, leave their homes and jobs, STOP paying taxes, stop paying the banks, the municipality fines and taxes etc., etc. and create a "snowball effect" of the same? Of course NOT!! People are sooo AFRAID of arrests, a sense of normality taken, and most of all, INVOLEMENT! It's just easier to ask someone else to "take care" of their end of the business at hand! How many people do you know that would contribute? I'll wager that most will "belittle" you out of fear with rhetoric like, "that's crazy!", "we can't do that.", and of course religious beliefs(as an excuse)come into play etc. etc... Yet these would be the VERY SAME people that sit around and bitch about why things are so messed up!! Hypocracy in action!! So, in closing, the answer is simple. WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER, we as individuals are afraid of being looked at as RADICAL even if you whole-heartedly believe in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and law! REMEMBER, you are "CONDITIONED" to follow or be persecuted if you try to LEAD! So, let me ask you, WHAT DO WE DO?? Again, I never claim to have all the answers, I do however believe in simple logic. REMEMBER what John Adams said,"THOSE WHO TRADE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY, HAVE NEITHER!" What are your RIGHTS? Thanks for reading. :)

The "Commercials"

Is it suprising to see more and more commercials advertising Gold? If you have not seen or paid attention to these commercials, START paying attention. There is also another commercial that is advertising the buying of seeds, yes.. seeds,they are gardening seeds for planting food gardens IMPLYING there will be food shortages. Mind you, I'm not the one advertising these commercials! You may be wondering WTF I'm getting to here. "Conditioning" and "acclimating" an idea that might appear at first, outrageous, or fearful in it's nature helps to instill the "norm" in our everyday lives. I'm SOOO not a conspiracy theorist, a thinker maybe, but none the less I am not going to go there. The reason I bring this up, is because we are all looking at hyperinflation with the almighty and almost worthless dollar. Gold can be traded, as it traditionally has been done in the past. Think about it! Gold and food are commodities that hold way more value than money. THINK ABOUT IT. FDR once said "Government never does anything by accident." Our culture has become dependant on the TV and other media for our information. The TV however is also a "tool" that is used for "conditioning", like it or not, agree or not, this is a fact. (Makes you feel like a lab rat huh!) Well, back to the gold and food seeds, start paying attention. The more we see these types of commercials that are urging you to invest in these commodities, the more we will mentally except the idea that we as people are going to need different commodities to survive SOON. The money we have is a "false" sense of security, you can't eat it or drink it, paper with numbers on it that is NOT fully backed by the gold it was supposed to represent. The people of our generation have no idea what the "great depression" was like, just a little food for thought.

Career Criminals

The more I surf the web looking for news and political articles, I notice a growing trend. It's becoming more and more the "norm" for our intellectual citizens to cite statements like,"come november...", "we'll vote them out come election time...", "we ONLY have to put up with this another 2 years..". I think you get the picture. The trend is becoming more apparent. I am becoming more concerned with the lack of "common sense" within these statements. I do believe it is important to advise you that I do not possess the answer to "fix" the machine that drives these criminals. It would be unfair and egotistical to claim that I do. The "damage" inflicted in the amounts of time given our representatives seems to be accomplished "lightning-quick". They may, or may not get "voted" out of office, however, by then, it's simply to late. (You &) I find our representatives touting the same rhetoric of "change", "the peoples rep.", you know, the usual verbal diharrea that spews out of their mouths. Election time always brings the best of the best from these Career Criminals. The very issue that gets overlooked however is their own exposure of their corruptive practices. All one has to do is "pay attention" to the campaign ads! They get dirtier and dirtier EVERY year. Another issue overlooked, how in THE fuck do these people keep getting "elected"? We hear that some of these people have been in the political spotlight for 20, 30 and some 40+ years! Here is where the problem lies! Yet, you and I NEVER hear any responsibility from any of these dirtbags for the progression of our sinking country! WE do hear however, and have become numb to, the "he said, she said", the finger pointing, the tax evasion stories, the payoffs by lobbyists, unions, banks, the BACKROOM DEALS, etc., etc., like an epic mafia movie! Resigning thier posts of office in lieu of exposure for their crimes, the sex scandals, and the blatant in-your-face lies! Is this why the world envies, or hates us as Americans?? We the People should act with the same bold swiftness to impeach, indict and imprison these "public servants." Yet, they have become the "untouchables", WTF happened here? AAH, I now understand the words "law maker" now. I use the term "words" in lieu of "title" due to my opinion that these people no longer deserve titles of honor. These words have replaced titles like,"public official", "public servant", and the MOST important term that used to mean something, "REPRESENTATIVE of the people". I say they are just "CAREER CRIMINALS", plain and very SIMPLE. It's walking, quacking and looking like a duck, must be a politician dressed up like a duck!!

My Blog Posts

I realize if you have read my posts, they seem to be repetative. That's because, in essense, they are. The reason for this, as I usually state, simplicity. The "misdirection" fed to us in the form of "generated" issues or "crisis" always revolve around... can you guess? That's right, MONEY. These issues always have a "price tag" attached to them. Why, you may or may not ask? Well, this is the very notion of why I started my blog. We are conditioned to the idea that government needs money to solve right and wrong. They "disguise" this with cites of "your best interest at heart", "freedom" and the more recent joke of english language-spin, "healthcare". It's very expensive to forcefully assert themselves into our lives you know.. so, in moving forward, being repetative has essentially conditioned/brainwashed us into these messes. The way out is to be repetative in the form of realizing the MESSAGE that most, if not all, of these issues revolve around their power, our "tax dollars".

"RIGHTS"

REFER to the 14th Amendment and it's Ratification, The 1954 national security Act and it's Ratification, The USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T. ACT and THEN,lets talk about the word "right". A “right,” in the traditional American meaning, laid out by the likes of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and the other framers is something that exists by virtue of our humanity. "Rights" that are “inalienable” is what I refer to, and we are endowed with these "rights" by our creator. NO government or institution has the power to take away these rights, as defined by the Declaration of Independence. You exist, therefore these "rights" exist. In the CURRENT Government sense of the word, though, a “right” is something very different. In fact, WE have no “rights” at all, it’s a "HANDOUT" provided to you by our government, all to often "currently" at monetary costs to society. The government that GIVES you your “rights" to ANYTHING, can just as easily deny you that so-called “right”. They can take it away at anytime and we as citizens are shown this daily. The government is ALWAYS CURRENTLY in a position to deny what once was your inalienable “rights". The "current" Left and Right "play" us on issues that are generated and MONEY is the sole motivator! No conspiracy in this. It's a fact. I believe in Gov't and LAW. I can't stress this enough, however, example after example that "Constitutional Rights" within the Bill Of Rights, NO longer CURRENTLY exist, this is where it is EVIDENT under our laws within the States that prove this to be a fact. The SAME representatives from the States are the SAME within the Federal Gov't. "Regulation" of these "rights" like the 2nd Amendment currently being "debated" as to whether or not it is a FUNDEMENTAL "right" to defend oneself with a GUN is the PERFECT example of this. The VERY simple premise is SELF DEFENSE! Whether it be with a bat, stick, knife, etc.,etc... This is where I see the IGNORANCE on the Left AND the Right! I understand the gun makes it "easier" to kill someone, however, if someone has made their mind up to inflict harm, or carry out a crime, that person will most likely succeed. It's control over the citizen! Plain and simple! Money is the "tool" used to "handout" these so-called rights. There is inevitably a way that Gov't needs to capitalize off of legislating your rights. Gun registration, the Brady bill, sales tax, and ammunitions tax within the states, TONS of money is generated, BOTH parties agree on this.(when they can gain, they agree) It's the "norm". If the IRS says you OWE them money, your inalienable and constututional "rights" DO NOT exist! NEITHER the Left OR the Right WILL do anything AT ALL to protect you from this!! Yet BOTH sides CLAIM they FIGHT for your "rights". They NEED your money so much, you go to jail and ALL of your property gets taken in leiu of staying out of jail! NEITHER party protects you from this! So, in essense, THEY ARE BOTH responsible and they BOTH deny it! This was, in my opinion, NOT the intention of the framers. The ironic thing is BOTH parties UNDERFUND and UNDERMAN oversight for wrong doing! This is what needs to be scrutinized by WE THE PEOPLE! Yes, it is a FACT we "have" regulation, CURRENT happenings dictate these "regulations" get IGNORED. Unless of course, some Politician has something to politically gain. The answer is clear and demands NO explanation, it would be a lie anyways! I hope I have conveyed this in a simple way. Understand that I do not believe that things are as "complicated" as we are told them to be. We as people complicate things to justify our exsistance in matters that are ACTUALLY simple. Religion gave us the "SEVEN SINS". In fact, these "sins" are not, in my view, "religious" at all. They are inherent in our genetic make-up as physical beings. So, is the whole world going to Hell?
