Democrats, just like herding cats!

It is so amazing to watch politics play out now everyday. Just when you think that they could not be any more corruptible, politicians take the next step into the Valley of greed to put the country on a road map straight  into  the local quicksand pit.
The Democrats, with majorities in both the Senate, and Congress and the White House are caught in the dilemma of taking a long time of doing nothing again, and getting nothing accomplished for the American citizens that voted them into office.

You have to consider that both Parties are teams, and each team wants to win, to get their platform voted in on, but when you see that the Democrats are so splintered that they really are not a true team after all. The Democrats are like  many small teams disguised as one big team. You got the environmental, the pro-choice, clean energy, health reform, stop both wars, middle class reform, trade reform, immigration reform, AFL-CIO, save the whales, save the planet, save the icebergs, save the sand, save the air, save your breathe, and then save the Gays.

 Wow, now that is allot to focus on.

Whereas the Republican platform is simply Greed at any cost, justified with racism, intolerance, bigotry, fear and hate in the name of a unemployed Jewish, Rabbi, rebel, mortal, never a convert,  modern fictional Christian God, Our father, the long haired, unshaven, Hippie looking dude in a toga robe who lives in the clouds by himself, who makes decisions for trillions, and trillions and trillions of things on Earth alone each and every nano-second. This guy must have some very pent up sexual repression going on? Living on a cloud by yourself for eternity. How does he release this sexual tension? Like mortal men? YIKES!!!

So back to the feebleness of the Democrats today. With the Democratic Party splintered into so many different directions how are they ever going to come together to get anything accomplished? It looks like they are not going to really accomplish much after all.
It is all for show.
Make it look like you are doing something when your not, and then take credit for doing it!

I can hear it now. The Democratic leadership saying " We tried our best, but our best was just not good enough to win", even though we outnumbered the opposing side, and should have been able to ramrod anything we want to do down their conservative, Klansman's throats, we lost. We even just wanted a tie, but our emotions got the better of us and we did not want to hurt the Republicans feelings, so instead we let them do whatever they wanted!
Here we are today, Health care reform? War in Afghanistan? Wall ST. and Banks too big to fail? Immigration? Trade? Middle Class? Energy? Criminal punishment for the Bush regime? Corruption in Washington?
How much have the Democrats accomplished so far?  Zilch!
The President's capital is now a deficit, the Democratic power since January 21, 2009 has all been squandered, and there are no true lasting significant victories to justify any celebrating.
Health care looks like it too will go down in defeat.
Afghanistan?
The President is talking about sending more troops to Afghanistan, just what the Republicans want!
What about the people who voted President Obama into office, what do we get?
More broken promises.
Wow, what the hell happened?

The President has no Bite!

Eight months into his Presidency, President Obama has made many a great speech. He can articulate exactly what he thinks and feels to a large crowd very successfully with passion and integrity. The only problem is that he is too nice a person for the job. Jimmy Carter was no different. A man of the people with a honest heart, yet very weak otherwise. We are seeing this play out again and again now, the President is back tracking on every issue, every piece of legislation just to make the other side feel good, and in doing so has completely wiped out any strength he has, or had in Congress. The President looks very weak and limp right now, and on every issue more empty speeches and no results produce failed policies.

He was voted into office from the biggest issue of the time, the two wars we have got going now in Iraq and Afghanistan and people want out of both. Only now he is wanting to send more troops to Afghanistan? This is looking just like L.B.J. after J. F. Kennedy died in the early 1960's. L.B.J. wanted to appear to be a strong Democratic President and actually pushed ahead with the war effort by putting 500,000 more troops in Vietnam, only to get 58,000 of them killed in the process, along with 3 Million Vietnamese civilians and ended up being a complete waste of time, effort, money and lives. I know well because I have been to Vietnam, and my wife lived through the entire ordeal. It was a tragedy that did not have to happen, but was forced on the USA because of greed, just like we see now. The Banking cartels, the Military Industrial complex, the Halliburton type companies, they all make 100's of Billions in war and they do not want change, they want things to stay as they are right now. Bogged down, stagnant is good for them because the money keeps pouring in from Government, while the corruptible Politicians stuff cash into their own pockets and look the other way.

Health care reform, Finance reform, war reform, immigration reform, trade reform, all  looks like not much will happen, and then in no time at all it will be election time 2012 again and we the citizens are faced with the same predicament? What's the use to vote if it means so little in the end.

Nothing short of a real revolution looks like it will have any impact on America. We are being held hostage by the politicians, they make the laws, all of them. Nothing can be done without a law being introduced and voted on, and then being put into action. Every crisis at hand right now is the result of a Politician creating a law to allow it to happen. There are no accidents ever. It is all manufactured to produce the desired results, which is to bleed the American  consumer dry of their assets, and the same goes  on World wide, for the benefit of the rich as well.

President Obama was going to lead us to the promised land? It kind of feels more like we are on our own to figure out what to do next.

The enemy is not an invisable terrorist here or in a far off land somewhere. The enemy is 100 Senators, and 435 Congressmen and women who want to get rich and powerful from their elected jobs inWashington!

This is treason.

Racism in America 2009

Everybody knows that there is racism everywhere you go, in every Country. No Country gets to escape this badge of self degradation from Humanity. It just exists because we are different, we look different, we speak different, we eat different, our cultures are inherently different. So it should really be of no surprise that racism exists everywhere, and it does.

Here today in America the racism issue has surfaced like never before because of one thing, America for the first time has an African American President.

The frightened Confederate Euro-White transplanted, religious ignorant Christians see that their numbers are dwindling and that the dark skinned people have overtaken them, and to them it is a threat to their sense of survival, because it is only going to get worse for them, and they know  Whites will be a minority in the future, and the power of election is ruled by numbers.

That means Black Presidents, Hispanic Presidents, Asian Presidents, Arab Presidents for heavens sake!

Oh my gosh the sky is falling Chicken Little, run for your life, because everyone who is not White must be a Communist by that definition alone - color.

Except of course for a few token republican people of color like Asian Michelle Malkin, and African American, Michael Steele, Chairman  of the RNC - I guess that they did not get the memo about the upcoming cross burnings in Geogia with Govenor Sanford, and Joe (the Brown noser) Wilson ?

And to think that Sanford cheated on his wife and family to be with a dark skinned women of South America!

Heaven forbid.

When I see the birthers, the tea baggers, the hate signs, the degraded posters of President Obama I find it stunning that these same bigots, racist and intolerants hide behind fictional Christian religion as though Jesus Christ was ever a bigot, a racist, and intolerant?

What little there is even known of this person Jesus, if he ever even existed at all is that he was color blind, very tolerant, unemployed, long haired, long bearded, Jewish, Rabbi, Philosopher wandering bum, who mumbled to the sky about his father floating on a cloud!

A true rebel and all around pain in the ass for the Romans and the Jewish elite.

The modern far right religious republican is white, older than 30, ignorant, believes the Earth is 7,000 years old, that Dinosaurs lived with Humans, that the Earth is flat, that the Sun revolves around the Earth, that Adam and Eve started the Human race, (Don't tell anyone that both of these folks were actually Black skinned!) that the Ten Commandments were written by  the floating guy in the clouds, that they are  frightened, cannot adjust to change well, wants to believe that Santa Clause and the Easter bunny are real, that Christmas trees were meant to end up in the garbage can after two weeks of use, that they have a right to waste  anything because they are Americans, that they have a right to invade other countries if it is good for them no matter what the cost, that wars are no different than football games to be won, and then head to the pizza parlor for beer and pizza afterwards.

These are the same White people, and their ancestors  that massacred the Native American Indian almost to the point of extinction, but have completely forgotten, that brought slaves to the New World to exploit with the blessing of a fictional God !

These people have to  re-write every part of their own History because it is so dysfunctional, and diabolical and insidious, that it is embarrassing just to say the truth, starting all the way back to the first settlers in the North East, 600 years ago, and what a bunch of chumps they were to the Indians who actually kept them alive throughout the harsh winters.

They are the same today. Ungrateful, greedy, selfish, intolerant, and still using religion as their trademark to justify inhumane behavior.

These are the same white bigots that do not want any reproductive choice for all females, but instead want women kept in permanent bondage under the cloak of the fictional and hypocritical Church, mainly the Catholic Church and the Pope.

Sure racism exist in America and it always will to some degree, but their numbers are dwindling. They may be very vocal now, but that is because they see that their power is coming to an ending and they are panicked by it. This is the last hurrah!

It's now or never for these folks, because soon there will be a family of color coming to their block to live, and whoa will the shit hit the fan then!
Don't these people know that they lost the "Civil War" over 140 years ago?
That the "South" lost!
Bigots like Congressman/ Klansman Joe Wilson, just show their true anger at change, at color, at difference, at reality by trying to deny it. Joe you are a limp, old man.

Get over it low self esteemed White people,  you had a good, long run at domination, but your time is over, just enjoy the fresh air, running water, toilets, steak and potato dinners that you have coming your way. Life is good anyway, why screw it up anymore than it has to be?

9/11 and why Bush/ Cheney actually enabled it to happen.

Today is 09-11-2009, 8 years after somebody/ Al Qaeda/ Osama Bin Laden, organised terrorists/ freedom fighters to crash high jacked commercial  planes into the Twin Towers in New York, The Pentagon, and where the final of the four high-jacked planes crashed into the ground in a open field. For New Yorkers today represents a day in History that they saw and felt the wrath of a hostile people, Islamic conservatives create havoc like no one had ever seen before in all of our lifetimes, other than the people who actually lived through Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the bombing of Britain and the leveling of Germany at the end of WWII. Wait a minute, what about Vietnam, 3 million civilians died, two Iraq wars and Afghanistan,  many 100,000's have died  and those were and are  atrocities where millions have been killed as well?

So 9/11 deaths although very tragic for the families involved, were actually minor by comparison.

The truth is that what happened 8 years ago was an incredibly horrible act, and that 3,000 Americans died due to no fault of their own. Sadly though America, my homeland has inflicted much worse punishment on other countries that is quite indescribable.

9/11 did not happen by accident by a bunch of crazy men in a far off country. It happened because of the policies of the US Government, controlled through corrupt Politicians, for the benefit of Multi National Corporations to prop up Dictators, Kings and other thugs so that they can get access to or simply take resources that these Corporation want so that they can sell them to consumers all around the World, namely oil. If these so called terrorists were just crazy men then how did they pull off the biggest attack on our country from caves? Why were we not prepared for this attack, when we already had the same group of people attack these very same buildings back in 1993 with a car bomb? What was Bush and Cheney doing 8 months into their first term to prevent this from happening when the CIA and Security had already told them that this was imminent? When Bush was told of the first plane crash, he was reading to school kids, and barely flinched? History has now proved that the USA got into WWI because of the sinking of the Lusitania, that turned out to be a set up to push the US into War. We now know that Pearl harbor was completely preventable, but the President at the time let it happen, knowing that we were warned by the Australians and British to be prepared for such an attach!

How did the Air Force get it so wrong that they did not scramble jet fighters up into the sky to possibly have to  take military action against these high jacked planes? They did, but it just so happens on this particular day the Air Force was holding practice sessions of how to react to high jacked planes at the very same time the high jacking was taking place, so that the fighter planes had not 4 planes to track but something like 20 and did not know what to do, and which plane to track. What a coincidence! Stunning to say the least, but extremely questionable.

This does not sound like organizational failure, this sounds like an inside job!

But again back to the terrorists that planned this operation. Originally these Islamic men were fighting their own people in Palestine in 1948 the year Israel was made a country, and ever since , then in Iran to over throw the Shah, an American puppet leader and brutal Dictator to his own people that we choreographed  with the help of the CIA, now is Saudi Arabia to force the King out and to get any American Military forces off of Arab and Islamic lands. To take Russia down after it invaded Afghanistan and was there for 10 years, and we the American government covertly sponsored the Mujaheddin, who are now the Taliban with weapons that they now use on our soldiers in Afghanistan.

The goal for these terrorists/ freedom fighters  is to keep all infidels from living in Islamic countries and spreading anti Islamic or counter religious and cultural knowledge. They do not care whether America is an open society or how we act. They care that America is a Military Country that props up Dictators and Kings that use our over whelming power to enslave their own people.

Bush and Cheney got this wrong, or they were in on it. The ex CIA Director/ agent Michael Sheurer, in his book "Imperial Hubris" describes the exact same thing, in that  we knew  a decade before 9/11 why these men of Al Qaeda were doing what they were doing. They were trying to prevent the USA through our gigantic Corporations from pillaging their own homelands, and taking oil, their only resource of value, while 99.999 percent of the populations in these countries starved, and lived in the dirt,  but the King and his family, well, they of course lived like Kings. We supported the King and not the people, and that is their fight!

The same thing is going on all over the World today. America props up corruptible regimes because US Corporations want their natural resources to sell to a thirsty and  hungry World, that has an insatiable appetite.

This will continue then along the same lines.

So who is really responsible for 9/11?

American Presidents, Politicians, and profit seeking Corporations  that use the American Military as pawns in the never ending quest for profit and wealth for the few at the expense of the many.

Our own Fore Fathers reacted the exact same way when Britain controlled the original 13 colonies. They too were terrorists, and Freedom fighters then as well, and they eventually drove the British back across the Atlantic. It is a good thing that we are friends now, for they are, like Australia our closest allies and not Israel whom we support with Billions every year to prop up a religious Government that has never done anything for the benefit of the American people.

As long as  American Politicians use the American Military to invade foreign countries, and not to protect our homeland, and sovereign borders of the United States of America of  which our founding fathers had written into the Constitution than this will repeat itself over and over, and we will see the same outcome.
Bush and Cheney you cowardly, spineless, self serving  thugs.
Next invasion, Africa, the Dark continent.

Leadership is doing the right thing when no one is looking!

Amazingly today our American culture has been so twisted by scandals, by greed , by winning, by racism, by bigotry, by intolerance  that the people who have the honor of leading have  they themselves turned into total disgraces.

Our Politicians, our Religious clergy, our Professional Athletes, the people that set standards for morality and ethical behavior whether they like it or not, have become the biggest bunch of failures and frauds.

The ones who yell the loudest turn out to be the biggest crooks themselves.

The ones who point fingers at others turn out to be the the worst offenders themselves.

The ones claiming their close connection to God, and religion do the most diabolical, insidious things to children and adults and can and will always  justify this repugnant behavior with even more fictional religious crap.

But of course crying on TV gets you that "get out of Jail" card from the ignorant masses of polarised sheered sheep. Those whose standards of intelligence, and excellence end with Hee Haa, and Praise the Lord TV..

The kindred Spiritual Mother Teresa's of the World are nowhere to be found in America today and except in remote places such  as in Burma, where Aung San Suu Kyi is imprisoned for protecting her people from Human rights abuses from a Military Government, or a gifted women, and women of the people  like Oprah Winfred, with such a Humanistic, loving, caring and giving nature, are people of great character to set examples for everybody to live by. There is a huge void in America for ethical leadership. Men have failed in their leadership roles in America due to their own self serving natures. What we have instead are self serving failed politicians like Michelle Bachmann and ex- politicians like Sarah Palin, that promote hate, intolerance, bigotry,  gender ignorance's by her own low level education and then justifies this lack of reasoning and knowledge with fictitious religion and a fictional God.
Then there are the enablers of TV, FOX TV for a fact, that create intolerance, racism and bigotry  to sell themselves and increase their annual salaries at the cost of all Humanity. The Hannitys, O'Reillys, Becks, Malkins all promote hate. It makes them a boatload of cash, and for modern American  Republicans, personal ethics start with money and end with money!

We have the G.W. Bushes and Dick Cheneys who promote torture in the name of God. That promote war for profit in the name of God. That promote greed in the name of God. That promote self serving behavior to acquire wealth even and most often when it is destructive to people and the Environment.
The professional sports players are among the worst offenders as role models today with their MTV attitudes of sex, drugs, and who gives a shit behavior even though their entire career and fortune is made from the people who watch them have fun, while being paid 10's of million every year.
You know what?
None of these professions or these people were ever meant to be role models in the first place anyway. They are there only  to make money, obtain power, and rule over the populations of dumbed down morons who make poor choices for themselves and then cry, it's not my fault.
So if anybody watched President's Obama's speech to the Nation on Health care last night you got a good dose of true Republican behavior. As Congressman Joe Wilson, yelled out "You Lie" to the President, this was heard around the World. It shows the contempt, racist, intolerant, bigoted behavior the far right religious base has gotten because America has an African American President. What this jerk-off said was right in line with High School behavior, disrespectful behavior of a Southern racist, the exact thing I am referring to when it comes to leadership, and fairness. This slouch Joe Wilson is but one example of the brainlessly low quality of people in Politics, and the foul stench associated with the Republican Party today..
And this blowhard, this dipshit  got caught in the act of being a religious, repugnant  republican. How nice!
So who exactly then are our role models? These are the people who do the right thing because it is the right thing and not because they make money from their actions, or become famous, or get special privileges. Doing the right thing does not hurt other people. Doing the right thing does not degrade your environment or abuse animals. Doing the right thing is knowing that you are connected to everyone and everything on Planet Earth, and that everything you do affects them and others too..
Doing the right thing when no one is looking takes personal convictions and strength.
Do you do the right thing when no one is looking?

The United States of Corporate Washington and Wall St.

What would Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and all of the founding Fathers of our Great Nation be thinking had they known that they had fought off the British Monarchy only to see the America they created in deeds and thought,  be turned into  Politician/ insider trading/ Wall St. corrupt Government with a central Bank, the Federal Reserve managing all financial dealings?
Where the American Chamber of Congress works against the American citizen, at the behest of Global Corporate Conglomerates who have no loyalty to the USA at all?
Where the most crooked, self serving, Politicians using religion, false Nationalism, fear, and hate can  create war for profit that benefits just a handful at the expense of the entire Country, and all those who die under this banner of deception.
Where Corporate crooks can buy immunity with legal bribes to the very people, Washington Senators, and Congress people  that are suppose to be watching out for our welfare, but instead have sold the country to the greediest group of malcontents, spineless, unethical bunch of deadbeat brown nosers the World has ever seen.
Where we see that "Wrong" is now right!
Only because it makes more money.
Where the same Politicians that will take any bribe offered to them, can turn cheating on their wife's and families into a self serving photo opportunity, justified by religion and God.
Where the President  (Bush, the half-wit) and Vice President ( Dick, I'm not a crook Cheney) of the United States can lie  the country into 2 wars, sit on their collective asses during 9/11 without any regard to morality, invade other countries on a whim, killing 100,000's  innocents, and putting 1,000's of American soldiers to an early grave, simply walk away from this unimaginable failure and then live out their life's as Kings, patting themselves on the back for a job well done, giving themselves awards, and bonuses. Building monuments in their names, building roads, and bridges in their names, building schools in their names.
How in the Hell can this freaking happen!
Well there you have it, the two poster boys for Corporate greed, intolerant, racist, bigoted behavior topped off with pure arrogant piggishness, and complete ignorance of History is the face of easy to come by known knowledge. Not to mention, the destroyer of American civil rights.
The two biggest Criminals in the 21st Century,  G. W. Bush and  Dick Cheney
When do those war crimes trials begin Mr. Attorney General?

Would you still eat meat if you had to see the torture and cruelty these animals go through?

Take a close look at the photo here. These pigs are locked into this position with a device around their heads, so they are not able to move. They cannot stand, turn, scratch, shake, clean themselves. They defecate, and urinate laying down. All they can do is eat! Imagine if this were Humans? The video that I down loaded this morning from a Huffington Post link shows the hideous, cruel, torturous treatment that this Nations living food supply goes through each and every day. Before I describe in graphic detail of what was on the video and what I have known for decades, I want to find out where we, as conscience thinking Humans have  lost our disconnect with animals as living things and instead have turned them into unfeeling, unemotional, products for consumption only. The modern mass production of animals for slaughter and sale is so repugnant as to defy anyone from claiming ever again that the Human species is at any top, of any pecking order of sanity.

Seeing these animals of all types being tormented by their deranged captors is so degrading and repulsive it is hard to define even when seen with the naked eye. How can people be so heartless, thoughtless, unfeeling, detached?

 One of the main justifications for unimaginable cruel Human behavior regarding animal treatment  is religion. Greed comes in a mighty close second place.

Once religion came along and proclaimed that the Human species was "not" part of the animal Kingdom, and that it was above all other species of animal on Planet Earth, this from the power given by the almighty "God", than two things occurred immediately. The first thing that happened was the teaching  that the Earth is here only for Human purpose, that we are the caretakers of the Planet whether we take care of it or destroy it, and second that animals are here as well only for mankind's purposes to be used and abused at will with no remorse of thought.

The cold hearted, mindless mass production of animals for slaughter defies one's common sense when seen visually, because it is so barbaric and sickening that it is not a wonder anymore why the Human race has gone to Hell.

The Human species  throughout History has always shown a brutality that defines us as the most caring yet uncaring animal that has ever walked on the face of the Earth. We are by our own Natures simply self serving at any and all costs. More destructive through intent than any other living creature, not from a standpoint of survival only but so far above the needs of survival to a state of human mind insanity.

Our ancestors, although brutal as they were, had treated animals at least humanely even though they too were used for food consumption. Had they been able to mass produce the same desired results of today's animal factories they too would most likely do the same exact things because Human behavior has no ethical boundaries, and very few physical boundaries then and now. Whatever we Humans can think, we Humans will do!

Since people have brutalised other people at will throughout Human History than it seems reasonable that animals got an even worse taste of our instinct for amusement, and they did then and they do now.

But if you look at the Native and Aboriginal tribes of the Globe then and now  you get  better picture of the connection between  Humans and animals and how they were treated and appreciated, as part of the animal Kingdom because it was understood that they provided Humankind with sustenance, nourishment to stay alive and therefore had a very high value in terms of how we as their caretakers should never abuse them, and should hold them in very high esteem by caring for them the best that we can. The big difference is that in these Native cultures Humankind is part of the Animal Kingdom and not separated from it as in religion.

It turns out that the three main religions, of the Western World, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam  are the catalyst for many, if not all of Humanity's many imbalances on the Planet. The belief of a fictional God, the belief of the Sun revolving around the Earth and the Earth being the center of the Universe. That the Earth is 7, 8, 9, no 12,000 years old! The fictional belief of Heaven or Hell, of angels, of miracles, of Santa Claus of the Easter Bunny, of intolerance of thought, the degradation of all females of every age. That the Church is the most important Cult Corporation and what it says is true without proof needed and even more so when it has been proven completely wrong!

If you think that religion has brought Humanity anything that did not exist before we, meaning men, not women, made religion up,  than you would be completely wrong. There was good and bad long before religion was invented.

The 10 Commandments were known and taught 1,000's of years before the fictional story of Moses!

But back to the topic at hand which is the treatment of animals in the modern day food factories. Would you eat bacon for breakfast today if you had to watch the slaughter of pigs? Watch the cruelty of people who work in these factories, having no remorse or compassion or feeling for the animals that to torture this animals is fun for them? How about slitting a pigs throat, and as it lays on the ground screaming in pain you drop a tool box, or heavy object on it's head to crush or bash  it's skull, only you have to do this 3 or 4 times before it is effective, all the while laughing at what you are doing?

Would you eat eggs this morning if you saw how they put 20 chickens in a cage, that was meant  to hold one of them, until the chickens have fought until they  have pecked each other's eyes out? How they throw live baby chicks into a metal blender, that grinds them up, live, crushes them alive, if they have any blemish that the company thinks it cannot sell to the customer?

No other animal on the face of the Planet has the capability to be so compassionate, caring, loving yet can be so cruel and barbaric with intent, other than the Human species, and yet always  all justified by self serving religion.

  I am glad to be a Vegetarian. It is much healthier to begin with, and modern medicine just proves this out.
Educate yourself, for you will not be taught this in religious schools, private or in public schools. The knowledge is there for you to seek out. It is your responsibility to know the truth.

What if today was your last day to be alive?

If today was your last day of life, and you had no illness or injury  to prevent you from doing what you would like to do, what would it be?

Would the TV, or the computer have any significance?

Would you like to just stay indoors and watch movies, News, read the paper on the computer or write to friends?

Would you be pissed off at the people who owe you money or who screwed you over at some point in your life?

Would it be payback time for the people who did you wrong during your life, and who you never did quite seem to get even with ?

Would you feel compassion and empathy now for people who are like you, with life coming to an end, who have no more choices in life?

Would you feel remorse for your own actions of selfishness, and greed, or laziness, and spite?

Would you like to just go outside, enjoy a warm summer day, blue sky, ocean breeze, sparkling waves at the coast, with people playing at the beach, with not a care in the World?

Watch the birds fly by so gracefully in the sunlight, gliding in the wind, watch a lizard run by your feet in the sand and into the bushes, watch Dolphins jumping in the ocean like kids playing at the park, surfing the waves like only they can?

Perhaps you would go to the Desert or the River, or a Lake, or the Mountains instead to get away from people altogether, get away from man-made noises and just contemplate what your life had been like?

Did you accomplish what you wanted to do in life?

Would you go hang gliding, parachute, white water river rafting, learn to surf, mountain climb, base jump, race a car, a motorcycle, eat every food of choice, visit family, friends, enemies?

Do you think that you actually did very little with your life, other than being alive for a certain number of years?

In your own terms did you help or hinder mankind?

Did you make life better or worse for the people around you, your environment, your family?

Did you finally realise that hate, love, racism, bigotry, tolerance, fear, compassion, religion, politics etc.... are all learned during your life time and that you were never born with any of these thoughts, but instead had to learn all of them?
Would you finally understand how precious life is, every minute, every day, every month, every year?
Would you?

Would you be able to end it all today, knowing that this is the final day of your existence, that there is no more time left, there is no Heaven, no Hell, no reincarnation, no nothing, that your life is over here on planet Earth and that you are never coming back ever?

2ND Great Depression is here and now.

Just today I am reading that the mortgage delinquency for top credit borrowers is showing major cracks in it. These people are being laid off from their jobs and cannot pay their mortgages and it stands to reason that these people will not be working anytime soon as well. After 50 years of false, deceitful and out and out lying by business and our own Government we must as a Nation come to grips with the facts, and they don't look pretty.
The BIG Ponzi scheme has finally unraveled!
This country is in a downward spiral, and only a few honest brokers are even talking about it. The rest, sell their spin only to make money from the lies, but who really cannot see where we, our Nation is headed?
Large Corporations have laid off as many people as they can so far and now small business is following suit, and and on top of the Government has gotten into the act.
So then if Private business is not hiring, and Government is not hiring, than who is?
Nobody!
We have been spending $13,000,000,000.00 every month since 2003 for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet Republicans are yelling that there is no money for National Health care?
Our country is Broke people.
We are simply printing money, borrowing from foreign countries at a rate that will crush this country in not too long a time, and that time is now.
One of the first things that we need to do is get the Hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan period. No more Democracy Bullshit because that is never going to happen. We can stay in both these countries  for the next 100 years and nothing will change.
Both these illegal wars are G.W. Bush/ Dick Cheney failures for America, and putting both these criminals  behind bars for life would be a good first step.
Right now we are "America the Imperialist" country with our hands and fingers stretched into every country for their resources. When Republicans talk of Democracy they mean countries that will sell us valuable resources that  we want without having to invade them if they make choices that we do not want to hear.
Amazingly the Republicans talk about war on terror but it has been here for 40 years already. The drug cartels from Mexico are here now by the 10's of thousands murdering people everyday. Our Southern Borders have no border!
The biggest actual threat to Americans today are these gangs that are already here in the USA in every city, and instead of fighting them, Bush and Cheney forced the country into 2 wars in other parts of the World.
Talking about failed leadership, these two incompetent morons were the last straw in the camel's back.
The war on drugs has been fought for the past 100 years and has never deterred anybody from using drugs, or obtaining them. We need to address and change this policy now if we are to save ourselves from a further erosion into Never, Never land.
The Government has spent $$ one Trillion dollars on the war on Drugs over the past 100 years and it has lost the battle before it even started.
We need new direction here, because all we see is wasted lives, and money for nothing.
Drugs need to be legalised, no different than legal Pharmaceuticals drugs are today as well. That needs to be done immediately to address the wasted money and resources.
Stopping both wars, changing direction on the war on drugs saves this country $100's of Billion annually. With that money we should be investing in what we really need now and into the long range future, Renewable Energy resources. Wind, Solar, plant based fuels.
If we do not see the emergency of where America is today, we won't have the luxury of repeating the 1970's fuel crisis over again when we were warned by our unfriendly non- allies in OPEC and then did nothing about it. It will have been too late.
What more proof do you need to see?
Who could have ever imagined to see G.M.,  and Chrysler in Bankruptcy already, and that hundreds of banks have  failed already, again and  again?
Wake up call America.
There is still time to get your act together, but that window is closing extremely fast.
We,  meaning our country, America needs to have a new philosophy in how we live, and how we will be able to maintain our quality of life but at the same time come to grips that the mindless, selfishness of today and the past is over.
The World is a finite place!
There is no where else for us to rape and pilliage if this Human Species experiment fails.

Failed Leadership, in Business, Religion and Government.

When I look everywhere today in the News what I really see and hear is a complete failure of Business, Religion, and Government with the real bottom line reason  as always being greed. Greed is the reason that the USA is slipping faster into the abyss. At every corner is somebody with their hand out wanting more of anything and everything, whether they need it or not, because "more" has become an American value. In every aspect of life "greed and more" trample over common sense, and ethics every time. America, the land of the Free, the Home of the Brave is run by Political crooks in office only to get rich at the expense of not only all the citizens of the USA, but every citizen of every country on the Planet. Our Businesses and their  leadership is run by crooks with the same personality traits as Al Capone, greed at any cost. Our Religious Institutions go about preaching intolerance, bigotry, racism,  but never forget to tell you to leave money in the till before you leave, all the while these tax free religious buildings stand empty 6 days a week, while the homeless and unfed sleep in shelters and on the streets. Hell they don't even allow the returning military Veterans to use these buildings, and  instead they must sleep in the streets.

Religion, a sham and a shame!

What the Hell is wrong with you people?

The only value in the country is Greed, followed by more greed.

Just like the guy in the movie Network, I am sick of this shit every day, being forced down our collective throats and then we are told to just relax, it is no problem as they screw us again.

The Recession is coming to and end they say on Wall St!

Bullshit!

We are on course for a total Collapse.
You have been handed one  $$ Trillion dollars of taxpayer money of course you'll be fine.

Every Politician is a liar, every businessman is a thief, every religious cleric is an insane, half-wit who lives in the Stone Ages of Ignorance and blind submission.

What a sham.

This is the big plan though.

The people at the top, the richest of the rich revel in kaos, it makes money, everything makes more money. War brings death, but also much profit. Drug companies sell products that the side affect is worse than the illness they are suppose to cure. Health Care "less" companies deal in money as though it had ethics. Insurance companies sell worthless pieces of paper that have no value when you try to collect on your policy, but yet you are forced by Government to buy it or else.

The only thing America does today well, is start wars in other countries.

We have this down.

Leadership in America has failed miserably at every level.

So what it really means is that there are no leaders!

We are on a ship with no Captain to steer and navigate  a safe course.

It is like being on the Titanic as it is sinking but you are at the back of the boat playing ping pong on deck having a Mai Tia, and the deck hand says that there is plenty of time to escape, only you don't notice that you have a chain around your ankle, and the other end is bolted down to the ship itself !!!!!!!
God will not save us. How could it? God is all fiction, and just make believe to begin with.
Because if you think God will save you, than you might as well believe that the Easter Bunny will save you, or Santa Clause?
So now is the time to start baking those cookies for the reindeer that will be on your roof soon, but make sure that you don't shoot them by mistake, thinking that they are burglars, or your unemployed neighbor.

So don't plan on any miracles anytime soon, because everything is the result of cause and effect in the Universe.

So now what genius, you ask?
Am I worried?
No, I will be just fine, but the rest of you, I am not so sure.

Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan now!

Who really wins in these Wars for profit?
The Military Industrial Complex, Big Oil, Big Banking Cartels, Haliburton, Politicians, and anyone else who can milk a profit from Death falsely justified trough religion and Nationalism.
Who loses in these wars?
Our soldiers who are used as pawns like on a Chessboard. The people in these countries themselves because Millions will be displaced and 100,000's will be innocently killed.
Now is the time for President Obama to show leadership strength and push to have all troops out of both Iraq and Afghanistan immediately. Sure he or the Politicians can make-up all the Bullshit reasons for why this will not or cannot happen, but they are just Bullshit reasons.
We can start leaving today if we choose to. But the profit driven business of war will push ahead relentlessly until the American people are sick enough to start voting these political criminals out of office and then, and only then, will there be more push to change directions. The only other option would be Revolution of the status quote. But by then the Business of War will have made enough profit to back down and re-group only to be planning on another War, in another part of the World to start the same process to happen all over again. Greed has no ethics, no boundaries, no shame. Greed is, the Richest of the Rich, wanting more at any cost and they will get it, for our elected, browning nosing, spineless, self serving Politicians will do everything to pad their own pockets at the expense of the American citizens who they are suppose to represent.
What has the American public received by the two Wars created by G.W.Bush ( The Half -wit) and Dick ( I'm not a Crook) Cheney?
6,000 dead service men and women.
$13,000,000,000.00 bill due, each and every month since 2003. Totalling  $3 TRILLION and counting!!!
Record deficits, at a time when the Country is in a near second Great Depression environment.
500,000 - 1,000,000 service men and women returning home with war fatigue, and mental issues that will haunt them for a lifetime.
10,000's of our returning soldiers are now Homeless, living in the streets.
They serve their country and then come home to drug, alcohol, other forms of addiction due to stress and lack of mental Health help.
Flak from the rest of the World knowing that our elected officials are even more crooked than any others on the face of the Earth, because here in America the numbers used are just like playing with monopoly money - nearly unlimited!
And finally complete political burnout from us citizens knowing that our elected official don't give a damn about anybody but themselves, their re-elections, and their Swiss and Caribbean secret bank accounts.
Stay tuned:
Next war coming to America - Africa, the Dark Continent, loaded with minerals, oil, gold, diamonds, timber, and anything else of value to be plundered.

The Meaning of Life.

What is the meaning of life?

There isn't any, other than in that you create or make up whatever meaning you want to have. Your life is not predetermined by anything other than cause and effect from the choices you make. But what is remotely determined is that everything is interconnected to each other. The Earth itself is a living thing, constantly changing never static and so is each of our lives, always changing, never staying the same. From the moment sperm cell enters the egg, change is on the get go, from 2 cells multiply into 4, into 8, into 16 and so on and so on. When each of us is born there is no blueprint to what we will become, how long we will live, what we will accomplish or not accomplish. The only thing for certain at this point in time is that we are a mixture, and mutation of genetics from our Mother's side  of the family and our Father's side of his family dating back to the beginning of Humanity and beyond, Evolution.

So nothing is preordained at birth other than being alive. From this point forward, your immediate future is in the hands of your first teachers in life, your parents. Your parents, or parent (Mom) will lay the ground work for who you will become as you grow up. Your intelligence level, your drive, your understanding of ethics, your emotional balance, your sense of who you are, will be taught to you by your parent or parents. If you have a happy, loving personality with tolerance to others, other cultures, other people, care for our environment than most likely this was what you were taught from your parents. If you have fear, hate, low self esteem, have racist, bigoted, intolerant thoughts and actions, see the environment as something only to make money from, than this too was most likely taught to you as well, by your parent or parents when you were very young. Much of what we are personality wise as we age from birth to death, from the first 10 years of life  is taught to us in our own homes, by Mom, and/ or with Dad. We become what our environment allows us to be. In America and other countries with higher levels of living standards  at 10 years old most likely you would be in school, private or public. But for kids at 10 years of age everywhere else  you may be in the streets working, or begging for money to stay alive. It just depends on when you were born and where you live.

Today while I was out surfing with a buddy of mine, for some reason he mentioned to me that in his opinion one person cannot really do much to change the way the World is or it's future and I said to him I disagree. In fact, I believe one person, any person can make all the difference in the World by their actions.

Than my friend said" Imagine if Bobby Kennedy had never been shot"?  What if?  Imagine if Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Pol Pot, Stalin,  Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Cheney, Teddy Roosevelt, Rockefeller, Howard Hughes,   had died in infancy? One person can make a hell of a difference.....

Now back to you, and what are you doing here on Planet Earth.. You are here because you managed, with all the diseases, all the wars, all the things that could have taken your life, you have been fortunate not to have died yet. Of course you will die, just not yet.

What have you made of yourself? Do you like who you are? Could the World be better or worse if you live or die? Are you here only to populate the planet? Who even cares that you are here in the first place? These questions take a little thought, because you could have many different answers to them. But if you are here, what is the meaning of your existence other than taking up space?

There really is none.

You are whoever you want to be. Whatever you choose to do, to learn, to become is not predetermined but will come from your own choices, influenced by your environment, whether that is forced upon you or you have freedom to choose on your own.

So you yourself are the reason for being here. You make your life meaningful by deciding what your core values are, accomplishing allot or absolutely nothing. There is a middle ground for all things, and that tends to be a good area to be. Being an alcoholic, or being non-drinking, being a drug user, or never using drugs, beating your wife, or never having any ability to hurt the ones you love.

You alone give meaning to your life!

You can justify this any way to want or choose. Religion, God, revenge, anger, hate, jealousy, love, kindness, compassion, patience. It is all up to you.

But will God force you to do anything?

No, because there isn't any God.
You alone are responsible for why you have any meaning to your life, and nobody else.
So now you have no more reason to say "poor me". Your life is exactly what you will make of it.
