the moron scale of will = way

I am not certain if this qualifies for a Darwin award, or simply the worlds stupidest criminals list, but it certainly ranks high on the moron scale of if there's a will there's a way. How can anybody think anything like this is a good idea? It simply goes to prove the point that there is not much going on between the ears of a good number of people. It's a sign of the times we live in, when the times we don't live in are shortened on account of good behaviour (I think?)... I mean, really (no seriously, really?!!), are we supposed to keep writing blank cheques payable to the exact same assholes and not catch on, it would appear to be exactly so, except that lately we aren't sure if those expected to sign the cheque can afford the ink in their pen. Maybe the cheque had to be signed in blood anyway... Sometimes I wish I was this guy, instead of being so close to becoming this guy.

Democracy: see Corruption

Strange and backwards. In my last post I made mention of Alex Jones saying things he usually doesn't say, and now somebody is trying to paint Ryan Dawson as a crisis actor... Not very convincingly, mind you, and they didn't even try to Photoshop it... Nope just some dude with a similar haircut. I guess the Hollywood effects people were laid off, because even the fake bin laden photos were at least a little touched up...

run-on sentences and other poorly labeled thoughts

I have a backlog of things, yet again. It seems that Alex Jones may have been loosing ratings. I'd toast the occasion with a scotch, but I'm flat broke, so this will have to do.

When The Turkey Broke Free

There seems to be a lot of these kinds of things going on everywhere lately. The biggest shocker (for me) in this story was in it's source. I didn't see this in my regular sources until after I'd seen it shared by a Facebook friend. Of course today it has disappeared from my Facebook news feed which indicates that either I was dreaming, or cat videos are more important... [sigh]

the stripper pole: a perpendicular slope

It's amazing to think that in less than a quarter of a century, one country has managed to move from the spotlight as the enemy of freedom, to one of the few left protecting freedom. Though I suppose it is less amazing when you look at how the previous tenant @ 1 defend-freedom lane, switched careers and became a prison warden who will shoot you simply for looking at him. We really are coming up with some pretty strange ideas to allegedly fix a problem while still leaving the person causing the problem in control of the solution. Maybe the aboriginal peoples are right and cameras really do steal our souls, they will certainly steal our right not get deaded 5 seconds after the camera is switched off.

I'm losing interest in interest for interests sake

♫Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today♪ --Pink Floyd

Everybody appears to know that it's a rigged game where the punishment appears to never match the crime, except maybe in China of all places. We have so many 'sayings' concerning money to help propagate it's myth, legend, and social status that it's a wonder that anybody has bothered to look beyond what it appears to be. Myths like: 'Money doesn't grow on trees' or 'Money makes the world go 'round'' or 'Another day, another dollar' or 'Rolling back prices', okay, maybe that one's an ad slogan, but it wouldn't feel right not to incorporate dead Walmart babies somewhere just for kicks.

The most common of these myths would appear to be that 'monetary supply and issuance is controlled and governed by the government'. These are the fairy-tales we tell our children as we try to impart our flawed knowledge upon them. Aside from being untrue, which I will get to in a moment, are we really supposed to trust people who put us into this much debt with the money supply? I wouldn't trust them to handle paying my phone bill. So why is it untrue? Well, think about it for a second or two.

Give up yet?

of shit-flinging opinion builders and the language pirates

Ah, the news... Sometimes I find it 'unshocking' (really, the chief sexual assault prevention officer accused of, well, it was in his job title, what would you have him do?), others it's 'unsurprising' (wait, did you not just... Oh never mind then, if you are just going to pull the anti-semite card), then there is the expected flogging the boogeyman at the precise right moment, and BINGO! We've finally evoked the expected response (they were beginning to think the sleeping dragon might be dead after all the other poking and prodding).

burning down the lake, among other things

OK, So I've finally been reading some news... I'm not sure if he knows what sociology is... I would think using the word implies that he does, so this is really just a way to dodge the real issues, like whether there is any 'real' terrorism anymore (or was there ever any to begin with)? I tend to think motive and origin teach us a lot, so maybe that's why we are not looking too deeply into such things, and are instead, attacking anyone who suggests we should. I'm also not sure if he realises that if we are backing the so-called 'Free Syrian Army', he is guilty of number 6 on this list of horrible. And just in case you think I am wrong about Boston forwarding an agenda...

Consumerism kills. That's what I think that headline should read... But it doesn't, and never will.

Do you have a permit for that?

How many independence days does Canada celebrate? Most people would think the answer to be one... They are incorrect based on what I witnessed downtown yesterday:

All the kings horses and all the kings men were there to make sure things went smoothly, too:

I debated asking these people for their permit to 'congregate in groups larger than 5' but I had an appointment that I figured I would miss, had I been arrested... I even had to walk through it to get to that appointment:

Politically-correct soft-core pornography

Anyone who still doesn't believe there's a massive shitstorm coming our way probably never will. How does one gain tactical advantage in a hostage situation from the safety of their bullet-proof death machine? Anyone? No? Okay then, how do sound cannons assist in negotiations? Because, unless the hostage taker also has a sound cannon, being heard a kilometer away is a rather one sided negotiation...

Get some popcorn, and free up your schedule. It's five hours long and it appears to cover the history of the last 4000 years, give or take... All I have to say is wow. (I just wicsh I could find a better copy that doesn't get all mpeg'y at the end

The long unwinding road

Some days I think the frogs know the water is approaching the boiling point, unfortunately, they still don't seem to have much desire to jump out of the pot. I guess it's simply a case of 'the more things stay the same, the more things change.' even if neither really happened... Did they? Something changed, but I think it was in name only, unless the name is still "assclown", which means I am wrong...

I try not to be wrong in these matters, but am not mortified enough about being wrong that it really matters all that much. Besides, a wise man once said once you realize you were wrong you are no longer wrong. I might be paraphrasing, mind you, it's not out of fear of being labelled a terrorist or whatever they're calling plagiarists these days, but mostly because that is how I typed it and how it feels like it fits in with the other sentences surrounding it. Maybe I have simply gotten too lazy to copy and paste... No that doesn't sound like me.

Fuel surcharge consumerism in the land of wrung out pelicans

Well, the last piece of the puzzle fell into place for me just recently in that movie "collusion" which I posted a couple of days ago. Not that my opinions on money, banking, the elite, nor the ruling class have been altered greatly, unless you wish to add stupid to evil...

In fact most of my opinions have not changed on topics like 'climate change' not having anything to do with human activity, or economics being about creating false scarcities where none exist, or corruption and greed being the current drive of the legal, political, medical, corporate, and agricultural realms... All recent wars are still all about money, oil, or other natural resources that 'local' governments are not willing to hand over to international corporate hegemonic interests. The media still lies about anything they can think to lie to us about in the name of keeping us docile and eager to consume. And capitalism is still a thinly veiled consumerism all about owning the latest over-priced garbage engineered to break 15 seconds after the warranty expires.

To all the NEWS I've unread before.

Let's do a little house-cleaning... I have a number of NEWS articles that don't really fit together, nor have they found their way into other posts, but I'd really like them to stop cluttering up my news reader...

Protecting the recepticals

There's an odd synchronicity going on right now. I sit here wondering what to write yet, I am already typing. I have no idea what I am going to talk about today yet somehow it will find me, and if it doesn't I can still republish things I've already pointed out in the past because I don't think enough attention has been focused on the topic. I could draw attention to things happening now, whether they are good or bad, and that it's the same tired faces which appear over and over again.

Over the past two decades my opinions have changed on a great many things, so I'm obviously not on some single and close-minded crusade. So why do some people never change their tune over the same two decades? For me, as I look into things and think about what I've read or been told, a certain level of clarity sets in. I can even go so far as to ridicule my previous stance on a topic when I understand that I was incorrect in my prior assumptions, and now have more facts to prove the opposing side of my own arguments. I'd probably make a horrible politician, but that would hardly be enough for me to blend in with all the other horrible politicians, namely all of them, but I'd at least attempt to stand up to the bankers if I were a politician. I know that has a tendency to end badly, but I would do it all the same regardless of the outcome.

Einfrieren! Zeigen Sie uns Ihre OPUS Unterlagen

(Translation: Freeze! Show us your OPUS documents)

My apologies for the crappy quality, I only had one shot at this photo... The two people with the supra-glow lettering on their jackets are transit cops (not real cops) 

So there I was, on the bus, minding my own business after a days work, when the bus stops and two armed thugs get on using both the front and back doors. Armed with a gun, a taser, handcuffs, and official looking uniforms which aren't clearly marked "not police" from the front, yet clearly marked "STM inspector" on the back (sorry, that would have been much more visible had the flash not gone off, but by the time I turned it off, they were no longer on the bus). These armed thugs then proceeded to verify everybody's bus passes and transfers using a portable card scanner, without any explanation as to why.

destiny's blind date and the Sundance kid

I am not easily drawn into the hypnotic state where creature comfort was meant to fulfill and distract from the horrible, shallow, emptiness of these times once termed as the (dis)information age. Sure I sometimes even catch myself staring mindlessly at the animated rectangle which paints all that is wrong in the happiest shades of black or white, failing, purposefully, to mention grey, while repeatedly denying the existence of color outright.

Illuminate the underture

The world can rest easy knowing that the terrorists are short a flashlight. Yes, now the terrorists cannot operate under cover of darkness for fear of bumping into walls, and stuff. So now maybe that "see something say something" neighbourhood snitch program will work more effectively with the terrorist ninjas forced to operate @ high-noon. I will certainly sleep just a little better at night.

Oh, but wait a second... They still have internet, so maybe I should continue to lie awake rocking back and forth all night cowering in my fear that the boogerman is busy surfing porn and buying thermonuclear devices on eBay. Maybe some government body can protect me from evil terrorist porn surfers when they are done blowing up flashlights, or fleshlights. Maybe the UN can simply declare that using the internet to surf terrorist porn, or buy thermonuclear devices on eBay, or sending encrypted messages in a plot to take over the world via USENET is illegal (I'm pretty sure the only encrypted messages on USENET are CIA bait). The UN declaring torture and other such war crimes as being illegal worked splendidly just ask convicted war criminals Cheney and Bush... (And I am surprised if there isn't already some law about thermonuclear devices being sold on eBay... Maybe that was a 5 per client limit...)

Decrypting the MATRIX

Many out there use The MATRIX trilogy in reference to the conscious awakening which appears to be happening (and escalating) in recent years. I also do this because there are many, many references in the movies which directly illustrate the real world and the 'American Dream' (world) even if it's simply at a symbolic level. I've decided to dedicate this post to all of the references and their translations.

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure it was real? What if you were unable to awake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world, and the real world?

Technically, regardless of whether we are fully awake or not awake at all, life and everything we may need to survive in this world costs money. Money in most countries is part of the system enslaving us as it is borrowed by governments at interest from international banking conglomerates. This is the exact same thing as personal loans, mortgages, and business loans, and even credit cards, in that, interest is added to interest in perpetuity ad nauseum. Skip a payment, add two extra payments down the road... The trouble is that for each dollar printed into existence there is an added percentage, I hold a $10 bill in my hand, but to those it was borrowed from it is worth $10.10... So? So ask a simple question: how do we find that 10¢ when the dime would cost 10.1¢? So we'll print 10 dimes and 1 penny which owes $1.01101. It never actually ends and there is never enough money in existence to cover the interest because new money costs more money that doesn't yet exist... But without money we are homeless, naked, and starving, just like NEO would have been after being flushed from the power plant when he woke up were it not for Morpheus' rescue. Most countries actually had a solution to this problem at one time, but were convinced by international banking conglomerates that printing money was far too complicated for mere mortals and should be left up to, none other than, international banking conglomerates... Fancy that... This only ends, when money is printed by governments without interest, true, it must be carefully managed so as not to hyper inflate or hyper-deflate, but at least $10 won't have a dime nobody can see somehow embedded into it... And we are finally able to wake from the dreamworld.

Atlas needs Robax Platinum®

The world has felt heavier than normal this week. It's possible that this flu has just been kicking my ass, and my sluggishness has given me the perspective of a heavier world, but that doesn't sit properly in my gut. Especially when combined with my inability to stop blogging. So, I couldn't really be all that sluggish if I'm reading the same volume of information, and writing more than normal. Could I?

But if there is more to this heaviness, what could that 'more' be? It isn't even as though it's only me, because I've been observing unusual reactions from people around me as well. People who are normally quite calm appear tense and over-stressed. I'm starting to think I need to take a closer look into all this Kali Yuga talk in Les Visible's writings. Not that Vis has given me reason to doubt his sanity, but that he sometimes speaks over my head where words sound pretty but don't resonate inside of consciousness long enough to become a cohesive thought pattern.
