News? What is Real News?

Like most things today, what we call "News," is a lie.  Real news has no agenda. That means those who are informing you of events in the world are giving you the known facts and letting you decide what is good or bad. Today's News is all about getting you to react in a way the News Corporations want. CCN and Fox News are where most people get their news. Please don't watch these programs. You will be misinformed and your opinions will be manipulated.  Think of what causes you are passionate about?  I will bet you even money that it is one of the many politically correct attitudes that have been delivered to you by these Networks.  The way to tell if your opinions are self discovered is if they are contrary to your peers.  Let me give you a short list of Politically Correct Opinions.


Terrorist or Terrorism  [no such thing]

Gay Rights  /not Human Rights

The United States is a Free Country

Pro War / We have to fight them there so we don't have to fight them here. [pure bullshit]

Support our Troops  [this is great propaganda, don't look at policy, don't look at how many women and children they kill] Support Them because they are our boys and girls.

Affirmative Action

Quoting the Constitution means you're a Crazy

Guns Are Bad

Offensive Speech and or Anyone Offended by Anything must be Acknowledged and something must change.  [Who Needs Freedom of Speech]

Hate Crimes

Also ask yourself, what's not reported? 
I know this can be hard.  Why so little news about AIDS/HIV?
Yes, people die from gun violence but far more people contract HIV every year. The number according to the CDC is 50,000. Do you have any idea what AIDS costs us?  Most people with HIV will die from an AIDS related problem. They will be less healthy and require much more medical attention than someone without it.  The population with AIDS related issues is also the perfect vector for a new virus to cross over to the human population. What do I mean by that?  Humans with weak immune systems are the perfect host for new or mutated diseases to infect all humans. How many AIDS viruses are there?  Did you think there was just one?  All viruses mutate. They are always trying to get stronger. As we treat them, the few tiny mutated virus cells that are not killed by treatment attempt to grow. There are 13 different subtypes of HIV now. These subtypes can combine into new viruses called CRFs.  read about it here.  HIV Strains  Our Governor in California, Jerry Brown, just signed legislation changing the law about knowingly giving someone HIV. It had been a Felony to give someone HIV on purpose.  Basically, killing them slowly.  He has signed a bill to make it a misdemeanor.  I hope no one he loves gets infected.  So what other stories are not getting reported? 

Add your own.

TV News is selling you a product. It's Billionaires hiring MIllionaire Talking Heads to tell you the state of the world. Imagine News direct from our Soldiers, from our Jails, from Real People.  It would look very different.  [See my post on "Why Anderson Cooper"

Don't Watch TV News, or if you do, don't watch it, study it and you will quickly see what it's doing to people.

3 Million More Votes and you lose?

How do you receive nearly 3 million more votes than your opponent and lose the election? How is this possible and why do we accept it? Our Constitution is not by and for the Electoral College. Explain how this system is more fair? Twice we have received buffoons from this process. Twice, more people clearly voted for the other candidate, and that candidate lost. There is an easy fix for this. There is no need for a constitutional convention. If this outrage ever happens again, the electors will be charged with casting their votes for the candidate that wins the popular vote. And not all states have to instigate this. You say this isn't possible? Many states already deny the electors from changing their vote. Yes, a state can overwhelming vote for one candidate and the electors are not tied to that vote. WTF This was done to keep someone like Trump from being elected! Since it didn't work it's long past time to change the game.

Where is the Threat?

As our President continues to claim that Health spending is out of control, our Military Budget, by far the largest in the world, continues to suck Trillions from you and I. Consider this, our soldiers are paid slave wages while the Corporations reap huge profits. And where is the threat? Our borders with Canada and Mexico are not threatened by invasion. Our war machine is now in overdrive to create a new boogeyman of North Korea to keep the funds moving. Sadly, a nation so uneducated and manipulated that would vote in someone so unprepared deserves what it gets. Greed, Stupidity, and Fear have nearly killed this country. I lay the majority of the blame on the major news media and the two major political parties. They blabber about the smoke while the whole structure is burning. I believe we have only one more non violent lever to pull to redirect the country. This is just my opinion and if you can convince me otherwise I'm willing to listen.

Why are Police protected against Civil Lawsuits?

If you believe this is to stop frivolous litigation you are wrong.  You and I are stuck paying the bill for Police Misconduct.  The same lawsuits that the Cops should be on the hook for passes to you and me, the taxpayer.  They do something stupid, they shoot and kill an unarmed person doing nothing illegal and it's the citizens of the municipality that have to pay the families for their loss. Explain to me how this is reasonable or fair.  Police are not drafted, they volunteer.

No End of Hate Speech Toward White People

It seems OK to hate White People. Even some white people I know hate white people. WTF?  And it's TV that's teaching us this ridiculous politically correct Bullshit. If you think this is reasonable because of slavery consider this, there is more slavery right now in Africa than there ever was in the US. Really! Spend 5 minutes and research slavery in the world today.  I think we need to take a page from the easily offended playbook. When your race gets dissed you need to jump down the throat of the offender with both boots.  But let's backup for a moment. Let's look at the kinds of shit we are taught. People who have crossed our Southern Border are not Illegal Aliens, they are Undocumented. Shall we call drug dealers Unregistered Doctors? or drug users the Non Prescribed?  And on and on. If you are non white and you want to further your group's prospects, you are an Activist. But if a White person does the same thing they are labeled a Racist or Supremacist. This is hate speech.  I'm proud to be White, perhaps I should DEMAND to be called A PERSON OF LIGHT.

The Rules of Authority

1.  Authority Always wants More Authority

2.  Authority Always wants to limit Oversight.

3.  Authority Always wants to remove itself from Responsibility.

Look carefully at those people you know who want Authority, they typically are weak and insecure. They crave Power because they have little influence over their peers.  They were bullied in school and want to get even. Often they will be "Know it Alls" and arrogant with their opinions.

So let's take this kind of person and give them a gun and a badge and always give them the benifit of doubt and resolve them of responsibility.  And then, we wonder why we have the problems we do with the Police.

From my personal experience as a white person in America, I have found the majority of cops to be assholes. Assholes that take advantage of their positions and applaud the violence and murder their "Brotherhood" inflicts on the public.  And as much as I despise Police Culture, it's the Judges that allow this kind of behavior that need to be "what?"  Add your favorite verb.

Offensive Spending

Propaganda is a lie presented as a fact.  Or a phrase to make you think in a certain way.  In 2013 it became legal for our government to manufacture and disseminate propaganda to us, the American people. The government has been doing this all along but Congress made it legal in 2013*. And the main source is The State Department.  This includes Motion Pictures and all types of communications.  Some experts believe that many of the talking heads you see employed by the giant Media Companies are paid government contractors working to disseminate government approved propaganda.  So when you hear a NEWS story, and think something must have been left out or it does not pass the smell test it's probably because it's not true.

And the world is filled with everyday terms and phrases that are propaganda. .  Take the term "Defense Spending," or the "Defense Budget."  Most of our money gets spent on ongoing conflicts like the mess in the Middle East.  This is OFFENSE SPENDING, this is the OFFENSE BUDGET. We are constantly told the Military needs more of our money to protect us. But in truth, they want more money to kill others that have no interest in harming the United States. And when we are harmed, it's because we have been killing them for years. Also consider that my term is exactly what it is. OFFENSIVE SPENDING.

Something else to consider when you look at all the money spent.

WHY DO OUR TROOPS GET PAID SO LITTLE?  Let me give you a hint. (Because like Illegal Aliens, they are a needed underclass.) They are expendable.  They are a way of getting rid of undesirable people.  Many of the boys I met in the Military were there because they were given a choice of jail or military service.  Think about that for a minute. Your 18, you steal a car and the judge exaggerates your penalty to get you to volunteer for something that may cripple or kill you.

5 years in Jail or join the Army!  (Seems like half of the Blacks I met had a similar story.)

You may not know this, but when you're in the Military you have very few Rights. You are fighting to supposedly protect the Constitution but you're not good enough to be protected by it.  Did you know many Militaries around the world are Unionized?

A CHP Officer can make $100,000 a year. And the excuse is they have a dangerous job.  Look up death by occupation on the CDC's website.  They have less chance of being killed by a gun or knife or blunt force trauma that you and me.  Most deaths are caused by how they drive!  If you want a really dangerous job, be a Postman. It's 10 times more dangerous that a cop.

Maybe you think it would be unpatriotic for a Soldier to want more money??  Maybe you think they owe the country this commitment and I'm crazy to think otherwise.  Then why does this thinking not carry over to Military Contractors that make fortunes from Military Sales. Why should they get paid so much and those that risk their lives get so little?  Hint?  because this country is a capitalist country. Our God is $$$, not people. That's why Trillions get spent to kill people a Thousands get spent to save our own people. We have people starving in the US and our government allows our companies to move jobs overseas with little consequence.



So the next time you see a Support Our Troops! ribbon or banner.  Understand the propaganda behind it. I guess they want us to Support them because the government doesn't want too.



* (From Wikipedia and other sources) The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (section 1078 (a)) amended the US Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (popularly referred to as the Smith-Mundt Act) and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, allowing for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to be released within U.S. borders for the Archivist of the United States. The Smith-Mundt Act, as amended, provided that “the Secretary and the Broadcasting Board of Governors shall make available to the Archivist of the United States, for domestic distribution, motion pictures, films, videotapes, and other material 12 years after the initial dissemination of the material abroad (...) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors from engaging in any medium or form of communication, either directly or indirectly, because a United States domestic audience is or may be thereby exposed to program material, or based on a presumption of such exposure.” Public concerns were raised upon passage due to the relaxation of prohibitions of domestic propaganda in the United States.[27]

1000's of Americans will die with the end of The Affordable Care Act

1000's of Americans will die when Trump, and parts of Congress end the Affordable Care Act. How many Thousands? I don't know. But I do know that many more Americans will die because of our HealthCare System than might be killed by "Terrorists." Our Government claims we are in danger from a small group of people on the other side of the planet. Our lives are in danger and we must spend Trillions of Dollars to stop it. Has all this money made the situation better. Are we more safe now that 10 years ago? Are there less "Terrorists" now that there were a decade ago? No,no and no. The truth is, our lives are in danger from a small group of people in Washington. They push this idea of "Terrorism." The New's loves the word, they invented it. I've always fought against the term, it's Propaganda. It's meant to incite a response. But I've come to believe that Terrorists do exist, and they don't live in the Middle East. They live in Board Rooms and Court Rooms right here in America. They want to control you through fear, but truly, they are the ones we need to fight. And maybe some of you will, if you remember any of this after watching, Dancing With The Stars.

Today's True and Unique American Freedom

After 60 years of contemplation I had an epiphany today.  My longtime dilemma stems from the fact that people in this country think they are SPECIAL and SMARTER and FREE. And what dawns on me today (April 30th 2017 at 1 pm) is that today's true American Freedom is that people here can believe any STUPID ASININE thing they want. Don't confuse them with facts or bore them with long explanations. Make sure the philosophy you want them to accept has a catchy phrase that fits on a bumper sticker. It all makes sense to me now. I know, it sounds so obvious when it's stated like this. We all know it's true and has been true but for some reason I kept thinking that eventually people would see how manipulated they are. But it just gets worse. It seems, the worse things get, the more people refuse to see it. Perhaps it's a coping mechanism.

A few examples;

A fetus is Sacred, unless an American bomb falls on it.

I voted for him /or her because they are for the little guy.

We have to fight them there so we don't have to fight them here!

My Favorite!

Freedom isn't Free  (I like that it's catchy and requires us to believe we have to continue spending huge amount of money to be free AND, the deeper meaning is Freedom does not equal "Being Free."

OK, maybe I need some better examples but you get the idea.

Like the idea that watching Dancing with the Stars is a Cultural Event.

The Day I learned I was a Terrorist

Really, image reading an FBI White Paper and learning that you are considered a terrorist? The White Paper was the FBI's assessment of a group of people in the United States that call themselves Sovereign Citizens.  I don't consider myself a Sovereign Citizen, but because I'm sympathetic to the idea than our Government is out of control I am labeled a Terrorist.

What has happened to America?

Free Speech? When a cop shoots a 14 year old boy because he claims he feared the boy's toy I speak up. When the cop is found not guilty I speak up.  When a Judge claims the boys Civil Rights were not violated I speak up. When Wall Street perpetrates a gigantic scam on the people of this nation and our Government does nothing but bail them out, I SPEAK UP.

It's an easy fix for Government to label Dissension as Terror. And of course, we don't negotiate with Terrorist.

There is no Freedom to Lie

Simple Question:  Should our Freedom of Speech include the Freedom to Lie?  I understand that this can be hard to judge but if someone knowing states facts that are not true to influence someone else I consider this fraud. It should not be legal to steal the truth. But it seems it is. We now live in the Mis-Information Age. It's becoming impossible to know what the truth of any situation is. And if the courts continue to allow us to be lied to perhaps it's finally time to bypass our politically motivated Justice System and meter out justice ourselves.

See my post on Symbols and Propaganda,  our Elected Officials legalized Government Sponsored Propaganda in 2013.  AKA It's OK for the Government to purposely lie to you.  And as a side note:
You should know that it is legal for the Police to lie to you, they can tell you anything including that what you are presently doing is against the law and you will be arrested if you continue.

The Next Big Loss of Freedom (The Freedom to Learn)

 I saw this as clearly as a Prophet of God.  It's so obvious that you'll wonder why it never occurred to you. One of our biggest freedoms these days is our ability to Research, to Fact Check, to Study. A big part of this freedom comes from our anonymous ability to surf the net for whatever intrigues us at the moment.  Yes you can be tracked by advertisers and maybe the government searches for keywords or watches certain websites that most of us are not interested in. But I think this is going to change very soon.

I Predict In The Near Future, the US will Suffer a Major Cyber Warfare Attack.

It will devastate our Internet Resources and may also cost some people their lives. And our Government will demand more Patriot Act type Legislation that will devastate our privacy online. You will be issued an Online Identification and everything you look at will be logged and quantified. You are now a suspect in everything you wish to Study. Your "Freedom to Learn" has been diminished. And now the Government can finally start to control Online Gambling and Porn and the Dark Web.

Perhaps We'll Receive a "Patriot Score" based on our Browsing History.

The Scores real purpose is to rank you as a potential threat. Maybe these scores will be used in hiring Government and Corporate Employees.  I would have never believed that Drug Testing could be demanded by employers. It can't possibly be Constitutional!  But the weak minded will trade everything for Safety. And like I've said before, no matter how much you trade, you will never feel safe. Because the ones asking you to trade are the ones that make sure you are always afraid. 

The Big Question will be, "Was This a False Flag Event?"

A False Flag Event is when a Government claims "falsely" that it was attacked. This is done to give an excuse for what the Government has been planning on doing. They want you to accept that they had no choice but to remove more of your freedoms so they can protect you. OK, so now maybe you're thinking that our Great United States Government would never do this!  Well, it already has.

General McNamara and the Joint Chiefs of Staff lies to Congress to get us involved in the Vietnam War.

This is a classic "False Flag Event." The General and the Joint Chiefs lied to Congress about an attack on the Destroyer USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. This gave President Johnson the authority to invade Vietnam. I'm not making this shit up! Use your Freedom to Learn while you still can. Many people believe that parts of our government knew about a possible attack on the World Trade Center and let it happen so they could invade Afghanistan and get all these new laws passed so they can bypass our Constitution. (Let me be clear, I don't know what to believe!) And that is a big problem for the US Government. THEY ARE NOT CREDIBLE. Now, our Government hides so much behind what they claim to be NATIONAL SECURITY that few people know what is really going on. AND HOW CAN A DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO VOTE, IF ALL THEY ARE TOLD IS HALF TRUTHS AND LIES?

So Get Ready for the next big Adjustment to our Constitution.

Perhaps nows the time to start thinking about ways to communicate in an ad hoc fashion.  That means small intranets not connected to web.

UPDATE:

I have noticed a major change in how the major search engines are delivering results.  These results have little to do with the search requested.  They are nearly all aimed at official explanation or for-profit web sites. Even advanced search, when verbatim is specified, bypasses sites that adhere to the requested parameters.  Information is being denied via specific algorithms.  Perhaps this strategy will be enough to manipulate research counter to the accepted official doctrine.

California's Everyday Death Penalty

You have given much away to be safe. And, while you were giving up "your," Rights under our Constitution, you were giving away mine.  For my whole adult life I've been a fierce proponent of the Bill of Rights.  I sometimes wonder if it its still taught in School? My focus has not been personal safety, but of keeping our Rights Safe. They are what gives us safety.

With all you have given up for Safety, Do you feel Safe?

In my lifetime, how many laws have been passed to insure safety? Thousands? Millions? Law that restrict what we can do. Laws that change the very nature of our lives. So I ask again, do you feel safe?  If not, it's because you have been told over and over again that the world is filled with evil, and that this evil can only be diminished if you are willing to become a slave. 

Do what we say, don't question Authority! Be safe. 

Let's look at Authority. Do you want it? Is it something you crave. What kind of person wants Authority? The simple answer is: People who are Scared. People who lack control or influence. 
These are the kinds of people that work their way into Positions of Authority. I'm sure there are other types as well but look closely at the people you know that have worked their way into Authority. What kind of person do you see?   And is it any wonder that these people find themselves isolated?
They are not like most people. Most people don't want Authority. Because most people understand that the cost of honest Authority is Responsibility. And truthfully, most people don't want that level of Responsibility.  But the person who craves Authority does not care about responsibility. They want power, they want respect, to be listened too. They are selfish. So the responsibility what they should embrace is just an annoyance.  

I don't have to follow the rules! I make the rules!

When is the last time you saw our Representatives pass a law that enhanced our freedom? They can't even agree that email should be treated like regular mail!  I believe the reason for all the draconian rules that get passed is that these selfish people are afraid. Authority did not make them brave. In the end, all it did was make their cries of fear louder. Loud enough that you hear them, and you have decided that you too should be afraid. If Authority is afraid then we are not safe.  

Look closely at your life and your surroundings.  YOU ARE SAFE, but you are not free. 

In California people think we have outlawed the Death Penalty. You will be told that no one has been put to death in California since 2006. But that's not true. You need to look at this more deeply. A Death Penalty case takes years of hard work with automatic appeals. Everything that can be done to get it right is thrown at the case before a person is executed.  And even then, the State can get it wrong. 

No Death Penalty in California? Wrong!!  
1,130 people have been killed in California in the last 10 years. 

One Thousand, One Hundred and Thirty people were shot and killed by the Police in California in the last 10 years. Were they all Justified? NO!  One example was a 13 year old boy with a BB Gun.  A Santa Rosa TRAINING Officer (Erick Gelhaus) fired 8 times and killed this boy. When the boy turned to hear what was being yelled at him, the cop opened fire. The boy was Andy Lopez.  Andy was doing nothing wrong. The toy he was holding was legal and could not harm anyone. The shooting was investigated by those in Authority and found that Gelhaus had acted in a reasonable manner!  It is reasonable for the police to shoot and kill even children if they can say that the child was holding anything that might be a weapon! I want you to think long and hard on this. If I were King, the Police would no longer be given the license of lethal force.

Any Child, Holding a Toy Gun, can be killed by the Police because it's Reasonable.

IT'S NOT REASONABLE!


I have to ask, WHAT KIND OF SICK FUCK COULD FIND THIS REASONABLE!  Only someone who is very afraid, someone psychologically broken. Our Courts found that Officer Gelhaus did not violate the boy's Civil Rights. If this is true, then we have no Civil Rights. So do you still believe that there is no Death Penalty in California?  What has happened is, California no longer has to be so careful when killing someone. Do you ever wonder why the Police shoot the person so many times. So many times as to make sure they die from the wounds and can't recover?  I think it's because they never want to be sitting in a Court Room across from a living victim that can testify against them. I think they walk around with a hair trigger because they have been told over and over again that they are at war, that they are a target every moment they walk around in uniform. They have been infused with the fear of Authority and they believe it because they are the type that want Authority, but they don't want the Responsibility.

The Truth is; We need Protection from our Protectors.

The Police have come to believe that they are more important than those they are hired to protect.

Check out the CDC's Statistics on Police Killed in the line of Duty.  They are less likely to be killed by a gun or a knife or from blunt force trauma that the average Citizen.  There job ranks right up there with Hairdressers. What kills most Police is them driving into a tree. And that's on them. There is also a very high rate of suicide. Why do you think that is?

Judges have destroyed our rights and given the Police permission to kill us. Judges need to be publicly outed and held accountable for their decisions.

It may be too late to ever get our full protections back from the Bill of Rights, but please think long and hard on what we have already given for safety and on why you still don't feel safe. I think all the laws are to help Authority feel safe, not us.

Symbols and Propaganda

I was taught that this was bad, the symbol of my enemy. I'm just a little kid and I'm taught that I have a powerful enemy that wishes me harm. This is the very root of propaganda. Proclaim something fearful and demand an anticipated response.  The Patriot Act. It's very name is propaganda.  So I bet you never asked yourself this question?

Who is in charge of American Propaganda?  

Maybe you don't believe our government uses this tactic against us?  Well they do. In 2013 it became a legal, sanctioned part of our government.  Check out the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948. It made Propaganda against American Citizens illegal. This changed in 2013 after our hero, Edward Snowden, proved so many things about our law abiding government.


You can point your finger directly at the State Department for domestic propaganda. 

I'll add more to this post as I think about it. But two things I think are important to consider when it comes to American Propaganda. 

Terrorism: There is no such thing as terrorism.  It's a term invented by a journalist to sell newspapers.  A more accurate definition is Rebel. Those that rebel against the prevailing system. Our government has you believing that Terrorists are only interested in spreading terror.   This belief undermines their goals and the best part is, you believe that not negotiating with terrorists is a perfectly fine policy. 

Support our Troops: This is my favorite bit of propaganda. This distances them from what they do. They are our boys and girls and we must support them no matter what!  Wonder not at the policy or the casualties.  Don't consider the cost or the repercussions.  Support our Troops! like it's a team sport and they are our hometown heros.  By the demand of Support our Troops you automatically also support the policy.  

And back to the Communist Symbol above. It's a Hammer and Sickle, the tools used by the working people. It means Build (Hammer) and Grow (Sickle).  And this has been turned into a ugly immoral Stop Sign. Think no more here, this is bad and that's all you need to know.

What is Freedom?

   Walk through one of the hundreds of Veteran's Cemeteries. The crosses go on for miles.  We humans will fight for many reasons but what the prevailing war chant is, "You Fight For Freedom."

So What is Freedom?

It's important that we have a clear idea of what Freedom is. Because otherwise it becomes an empty nebulous phrase.  And for most people now, that is all it is.

What did all these people die for?

When New York City started it's Stop and Frisk Policy I couldn't believe it. This goes directly against our Fourth Amendment Right of No Search and Seizure.  People walking down the street were ordered to lay on the ground and be searched without probable cause.

I want you to imagine, you and a friend are walking to the movies when you're confronted by a gang of Police. Without explanation you are ordered to lay on the ground. If you do not comply immediately they draw their weapons and aim them at you as they yell at you to get "Get Down!"  They run their hands over your body and remove whatever you have in your pockets. They find your identification and radio in to dispatch to see if there are any warrants on you.  You ask what this is about and they tell you to shut up. People are walking by, maybe some that know you, maybe people you work with.  If you have any pills or medication with you, without the actual proscription, you'll be arrested until they get proof that you have these legally. If you have an outstanding parking ticket you can be arrested and taken to jail. I'll bet there are many things you have never thought of that can get you taken to jail.  There was no probable cause for you to be stopped. There was no cause in any case for you to be treated like this. Some Black people would have this happen more than once in the same night!

Very few people complained about this Policy?

This went on for years until a judge finally said it's Unconstitutional. As far as I know, no one lost their job or was sued or went to jail for this. I may be wrong but the point is: the Freedom, that so many gave their lives for may be a myth.

So Please, Ask the Question,  and give it your own personal definition. Then look around and see if it exists.

I will give you my Ultimate Test for Living Free.  This is an absolute ideal and not what I propose. It's a philosophical test, a starting point, of the foundation of freedom.

I will move away from others who think differently. I will find shelter and sustenance. I will follow where my personal gods lead.  I will not be bound in my loyalties. I will not be bound in my obligations. I am free to choose who is my friend and who I ignore. I owe no one, and no one owes me. I claim a natural right to exist as I choose, like the deer or a mouse or a lion. I, like all creatures, am natural and claim my space in the world as they do.

This is my starting point of Freedom.

And Liberty and Justice For....?

I've come to believe that the Police and Justice System are to keep you and me humming along, being productive, so Corporate America can continue taking the lion share of our labor. Another example of this was in the news yesterday. Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, who in my opinion is a weazel and small stinking turd, was found to be complicit in the THEFT of proprietary information. Facebook bought a Virtual Reality Company called Oculus Rift. Oculus, founded by Palmer Luckey, has been found guilty in a CIVIL SUIT of STEALING proprietary secrets from another company called ZuniMax. Zuckerberg and Luckey have been told to pay ZuniMax, Half a Billion Dollars!

  Zuckerberg and Luckey have been found guilty of THEFT

They have been ordered to pay $500,000,000.00

My Point?

Why no Criminal Charges? 

Can some wise person out there please explain to me the error in my thinking? Please.

Why Protest is Useless in AMERICA INCORPORATED


   It's disheartening to see so many good people protest Trump. If they had put this much effort into the election perhaps we would not have this problem?  Protest is useless. It might make you feel better at first, but, when you realize nothing has changed you get politically depressed.  Because we no longer control the country.

This is AMERICA INCORPORATED.

It's time to realize that our vote does not count.

Our Representatives do not represent US.

The promises this country has made us is Propaganda. 

We have only one resource left to us to make non violent change. 

We need to: Stop Feeding the Beast

Pull your money from the Stock Market and Bank Accounts. Place it overseas if you want it to continue earning. And then we need to stop paying our unsecured debt. Stop paying your Credit Cards and Insurance. If 1 out of 10 people did this we could change the World. 

 VOTE WITH DOLLARS 

Yes, there would be a short term fluctuation in the DOW. The Politicians and the News Talking Heads would proclaim the end of the world. (Remember, your favorite talking head is the mouthpiece of a giant corporation. He or she does not control what they say, they are hired because the corporation believes they are Believable, Likeable, your Friend.)  

I need your feedback on this. 

What would you change first?

The second important part of this is, we need a unified demand. We need to agree on what we want.
I suggest we start with Campaign Finance Reform. Do you understand that most of the money Campaigns spend is on Television ads?  We the People of the United States own the Airwaves. We can demand that all candidates get an equal amount of time to make their case. WITHOUT CHARGE. We can make money irrelevant. We need the best ideas! not the best funded candidate.
We could also outlaw NEGATIVE ADS.  No way you say, not possible. We have Freedom of Speech Right?  We did until they outlawed Cigarette Ads. There is now a whole list of things that can't be sold on Television. 

Now back to the main point about protest. Our Politicians count on protest. We place all our energy into whatever we are the most upset about, and soon, we run out of gas. Remember OCCUPY WALL STREET?  CNN and FOX focused all your attention on the freaks and fringe to discredit the movement, and you believed it. CNN and FOX are the talking heads of Wall Street.  

This is a sad fact about Americans. 

YOU BELIEVE BIG NEWS

After the Marches and Rallies we go back to our TV Shows and lame Facebook Social Media Sites. We tell ourselves we did all we could, and year after year we see our Bill of Rights continue to erode to the point of it being meaningless. Walk through a Military Graveyard and ask yourself. What did they sacrifice themselves for?

The only real Freedom I see in America that I don't see in many other countries is, we allow individuals to hoard gigantic sums of money. Please make the case for me of why anyone needs a Billion Dollars?  Money is finite.  That means that there is only so mush money and when a few hoard it that means many other people have less.  Could a Corporate CEO's make gigantic salaries and bonuses without their workers? No they couldn't. But they work very hard to limit what their employees earn and get praise for it.

Let's Stop feeding the Beast, $$$ and Lives

Political Prisioners

Many people don't like guns.

Many want them banned from American Society.

When I ask people why they feel this way, two things always become clear. They have never shot a gun and they don't know anything about firearms. Their fear comes from the news and the societal pressure from their peers. These things are understandable but what I don't understand is that with every effort to give them real information they shut down. They don't want to hear anything that might interfere with their opinion. Why are so many people afraid to investigate the reasons for their opinions?

If you are not afraid, please read this little story.  It has to do with the present propaganda about Assault Weapons, but it goes much deeper than that. It goes to how people are manipulated by the news and our politicians. This story is not just for people who who are pro gun.

If you hate guns you need to know that the present laws work against your wishes.

I'm going to tell you a little story about our law makers and how they operate. Instead of Assault Weapons I'm going to use Motor Vehicles, but you will soon get the point.

News Headline

A Speeding Truck Hits a School Bus and 25 Children are Killed and many more are injured.
For the next 5 days with nothing else to report CNN shows in graphic details what happened to the bus.  Interviews of sobbing parents and then relatives, and when they run out of family members they interview the dead children's school mates, many who didn't even know the victims.  Outrage at the Truck Driver escalates as TV viewers are now invested in the tragedy.

Something Must Be Done!  

Next, many politicians use the tragedy to garner attention. They draft hasty legislation and are embraced by rabid TV viewers as hero's. SPEEDING is killing OUR children!  It must be stopped!!
So the politicians float the following idea. To cut down on speeding we shall clamp down hard on cars that go fast! FAST CARS ARE BAD!!  Fast cars are killing our children. We will heavily regulate fast cars. We will add taxes and require more training to anyone that wants to drive a fast car.

We Will Stop the Carnage by Banning.... the SPORTS CAR!

Never mind that it was a Truck that hit the School Bus.

We will double the registration fees and require special background checks to make sure the driver has no speeding convictions. The cars will be required to have a manual transmission so it can't be used on full auto and a special locking ignition so that children can not easily grab the keys and go for a drive. New Sports Cars must have smaller gas tanks, this way they will have to stop more often and drive slower.   The list of regulated equipment rises every year and if your Sports Car is found to be in noncompliance it's a Felony.

If your SPORTS CAR is parked in the garage without it's newly required locking gas cap it's an instant Felony! 

And after years of taxes and regulation and 1000's of Felony arrests Speeding is more rampant than ever.

Sounds ridiculous right?  And all the people that were arrested and their lives and career ruined because they didn't have the proper gas cap lock can't even vote to change the law because once you have a Felony conviction you can't vote!

Right now there are hundreds of rules like "You must have the proper button to detach the magazine" or it's a Felony.  1000 of people in California have Felony convictions because their equipment did not conform to the latest rules.  These people did no harm and their lives in many ways are ruined because politicians want to look like they are doing something.  These people are victims of nonsensical rules made up by legislators that most of us don't trust.  These Convicts are Political Prisoners.

If you still hate guns you need to know this. The so called Assault Weapon is popular because it's what most people in the military trained with. Not because it's a bad ass looking killing machine!
An Assault Weapon is the Sports Car of Weapons. It's a little smaller and lighter than a hunting rifle. But what you gun haters need to know is, Assault Weapons use one of the smallest cartridges, you might call them bullets. There are over 50 larger caliber cartridges available that do much more damage but you have been sold on the idea that Assault Weapons are extremely dangerous. They use the NATO designated 5.56 round. That means it uses a small bullet and it was picked by NATO because it was not meant to kill. Wounding your enemy is much more effective in WAR. It slows your enemy down by the care your enemy needs to give their wounded soldiers. You have been taught to hate and ban a class of weapon that does much less damage than most. You would not hunt deer with an Assault Weapon. The bullet is too small. This size rifle is used to kill varmints like prairie dogs and squirrels.

Our present Laws are nothing more than Political Theater.

The last thought I want to leave you with is this:  There are gun tragedies, no doubt.

But I want you to consider this,

Everyday, 1000's of crimes do not happen because.......criminals are afraid of lawful citizens with guns. 1000's of rapes, burglaries, and muggings never happen because criminals are afraid.  When you hear about the next mentally ill person killing people with a gun remember all the crimes that didn't happen. And, that if that person didn't have a gun, he would just run down a line of people with a car or a truck at a movie theater.  YOU DO NOT NEED A GUN TO KILL.

In every state where it's easy to carry a concealed handgun, all types of crime go down.

Thanks

The picture below is of a 30.06 and an Assault Weapon 5.56 cartridge. The big one is for deer.

Same Sex Marriage Arguments

I never was a fan of same sex marriage. California twice voted it down and a judge from California's 9th Circuit overturned our vote. A Gay Judge. I'm sure he was impartial. This is also why I tell everyone our vote means almost nothing.

I've been reading arguments from SSM advocates about why Polygamy should not be legal. Or why a person can't be married to two different people without each spouse also adjoined. Bigamy. Why has this not thrown the door open to all types of consenting unions.  Well, it has.  And various lawsuits are weaving themselves through the courts and I'm sure there is a lot of foot dragging because; It's not beyond the realm of possibility that SSM could be overturned because of arguments for more liberal interpretations of marriage.

I can see no working argument that endorses SSM and not Polygamy.

I also agree with the the dissenting votes from the SC.  The majority opinion was made out of nothing. Our Constitution does not mention marriage, which means it's up to the States on how to address it. The SC had no jurisdiction to make a federal decision. But it's no big surprise to see Lawmakers not follow the law.

Bullets vs HIV

Bullets vs  HIV

All statistics are from the CDC.
(That's the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, GA.)

CDC Data

HIV Transmission is 4 times higher than Gun Homicides   44,000 vs 11,000 approx.

HIV is still a deadly disease, and there is more that one strain of HIV. One of these strains is not controlled by normal treatment. And like all viruses, HIV is mutating.  But we don't hear about this on the news. If you contract HIV you will probably die from an HIV illness. Your health will be affected by it the rest of your life and your medical expenses will be far greater than a healthy person. 1.2 Million people in the US are infected with HIV.  These are the known cases. It's estimated that 1 out of 8 people with HIV don't know they have it.

So what am I getting at here?  Gay men now seem to be a protected class, where as, Gun Advocates are not.  But the bottom line is;  HIV kills far more people yearly than bullets. There are as many Serial Infectors as Serial Shooters but you never see them on CNN.  Just one of these Serial Infectors has infected 100's of people on purpose but I see no outrage or demand for better control. Why is this?  It's a pretty simple question.  Perhaps if you were shown, night after night, the victims wasting away in hospital beds you would want something done. After all, these victims are the Gay people you demand equal treatment for. So why is HIV just an unfortunate circumstance but an Assault Weapon is a loathsome pariah?

I think you are manipulated by the News.

Here are a couple of things to ponder.

If we had kept all our gay friends in the closet, most of them would still be alive.

When asked, "Who Needs an Assault Weapon!"     Answer,  "Someone being Assaulted."

I could be wrong,
