Where is our generation's General Smedly Butler of Pennsylvania

Where in our government is a true patriot like General Smedley Butler of Pennsylvania who turned in the fascists who were trying to enlist his help.

I am afraid that today no one can stand up to the shadow government and its lure of money or its threat of death. Please, I pray that a true patriot will step forward and finally expose the lies that drive our war machines.

Dear Lord on the eve of the celebration of Jesus' birth I ask that you give that true patriot the courage and the protection necessary to finally reveal the truth.

Good Morning America

"Well its all over now and the crying has just begun." I don't remember who said that or who to attibute it to, but, the fact remains that one half of our country is cryting today. However, I believe that in the next 4 years our whole country will be crying. No I did not vote for Kerry nor did I vote for Bush but I did vote. Why did I not vote for either?

Our country is being bankrupted pure and simple. Democracy has not won. Capitalism has won. It is destroying the world selling the ropes to hang us all to paraphrase Marx. Soon, shrub will ask to increase the debt cieling. Greenscam is inflating the money supply to mind boggling levels. The dollar is about to collapse. And yet, the corporations and government think China is our ally. Wow, are we that stupid?

The central banks have prevented the collapse of our great country for the last four years or so. Eventually they will not be able to raise or lower rates. They are stuck. A systemic collapse will happen.

As was once stated in a movie long ago the new mantra should be ... Gold. Buy Gold!

Cry all you want now, but unless you doing something real to protect yourself you will have no right to cry later.

Oh one last thing, pray to G-d. G-d will listen and give you what you need. However, with George constantly referencing G-d's name in vain as he kills with his reptilian bloodlust, well, one has to wonder if the pope is correct and that George is actually the anti-christ.

G-d help us all and of course, G-d Bless.

Nothing left but to sue

After looking at the latest trade deficit numbers and thinking through the issue of all our manufacturing being outsourced I came to the conclusion that another force is at play here and it is a fascist force. It is the force that has our corporations demand that all intellectual property be licensed into perpetuity.

America has lost its core values due to the overwhelming need for greed practiced by our corporations. Since we no longer manufacture anything substantial for export our corporations have instead decided to sue for ideas, concepts, music, everything. I wonder how far into my thoughts can they go before declaring me illegal and thusly fined?

Well all I can say is that there is a true revolution brewing out there. In fact I believe it could be the seed that germinates into a wonderful renaissance. The seed is the musings of the Open Source Software movement. Here a community of developers come together to develop software. The fruits of this volunteer labor is some of the most advanced and productive software in the market, and it is free as in free beer.

Long live for the love it.

Make Leap Year Presidential Election Year

Now before all you mathematical physics geeks get all down on me, let's just assume that for all practical purposes leap year falls every four years. Well guess what, so does our presidential election.

Henceforth, I declare in the name of democracy and certainly not in the name of capitalism that presidential election Tuesday be a national holiday. This simple and effective holiday would ensure great voter turnout. There could even be Super Tuesday Parties with everyone watching the score, I mean vote.

Think about it? What is the downside? Oh, that's right, it could actually increase turnout and the capitalists would have to pay everyone for gasp, another holiday.

Can we just do one thing for freedom and democracy? Or does it have to be.... If it's free make it illegal.

ciao and peace

The Prayer

Aramaic:

Abwoon d'bwashmaya
Nethqadash shmakh
Teytey malkuthakh
Nehwey tzevyanach aykanna d'bwashmaya aph b'arha
Hawvlan lachma d'sunqanan yaomana
Washboqlan khaubayn (wakhtahayn) aykana daph khnan shbwoqan l'khayyabayn
Wela tahlan l'nesyuna. Ela patzan min bisha
Metol dilakhie malkutha wahayla wateshbukhta l'ahlam almin.
Ameyn

King James English Bible Translation:

Our Father which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heavener.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.

A translation directly from Aramaic:

O Breathing Life, your Name shines everywhere!
Release a space to plant your Presence here.
Envision your "I Can" now.
Embody your desire in every light and form.
Grow through us this moment's bread and wisdom.
Untie the knots of failure binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others' faults.
Help us not forget our Source, yet free us from not being in the Present.
From you arises every Vision, Power and Song, from gathering to gathering.
Amen - May our future actions grow from here!


Another translation directly from Aramaic:

O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos, you create all that moves in light.
O Thou! The Breathing Life of all, Creator of the Shimmering Sound that touches us.
Respiration of all worlds, we hear You breathing - in and out - in silence.
Source of Sound in the roar and the whisper, in the breeze and the whirlwind, we hear Your Name.
Radiant One: You shine within us, outside us - even darkness shines - when we remember.
Name of names, our small identity unravels in You. You give it back as a lesson.
Wordless Action, Silent Potency - where ears and eyes awaken, there heaven comes.
O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos.

Ramblings on the universal theory of everything

The Internet resembles the universe. It opens up like a vast array of shining, information stars just waiting to be seen. In fact it is quite useless and invisible to those who have never experienced it. What counts is the effort to search the Internet. This little fact sprang a fun little metaphor reverberating in my brain. It's not what is there but what you are looking for that matters. In other words we need to physically exert energy to search the Internet for it vibrate anything. The metaphor to me is that waves are definitely sucked and not pushed. While particles are all pushed diescretely. Hey I had to type this in letter by letter!

So how does this fit with mind, body, spirit and cash? Mind starts the sucking, the spirit is the medium, the body is the storage and the cash the information.

It all just fits.

BankOne is Evil

Here I am a small business man trying to make a living. Recently I opened a new bank account, a business bank account mind you, at Bank One. This is my first time using BankOne. Well after this weekend I am pulling my money out of BankOne and advising all others to either avoid BankOne or to go somewhere else.

Here is what happened. Two weeks ago, I ordered checks. Well I went in to get my checks. Well they made a mistake and my checks weren't orderd. OK, an inconvenience as we all make mistakes. So I asked for a few temporary checks. Well, guess what? BankOne no longer issues temporary checks! That was it for me. I mean this is a business account! Where is the services. Oh they are happy to charge me for everything yet they can't issue a check!!! I mean what is a bank supposed to do?

Here they get cheap money from the government and then mark it up and lend it out. And boy do they lend it out. Banks no longer have the assets... it is all fractionalized lending and with interest rates so cheap and our government trying to inflate their way out of these economic hard times, banks are reaping it in! Of course a few might be a bit over extended with all the amazing derivative manipulations but that is a subject something for another time.

Anwyay, all banks really do is move money around in a computer. Big Deal!!! Woo hoo! Brain surgeons there I tell you. And, to top it off they believe that are so intellectual, so smug, so superior that they can tell you that they no longer offer a bank service. Hey, afterall, those temporary checks cost a few cents and are a manual operation! Obviously they can't afford that. If it doesn't go through a computer it just can't be done. Sad very sad. The proverbial shit is going to hit the fan one day soon.

Yes all those Coincidences

LINK

Ah yes, all those amazing coincidences. It really is easily explained

A Bill of Rights for Individuals vs. Corporations

It is dear time for a new renaissance. A time for thought that can actually reflect G_d's love and desire for each and every one of us. As a dear departed friend of mine BeBop Sam Thomas used to say "We spare no expense or energy to reach each and every galaxy... including yours!"

The only way to achieve this is to have a completely distributed yet connected network of communications and power. This combination will break the chains of bondage throughout the entire world. I fear it is also the only thing to save us from economic and mortal destruction.

Pessimistically yours,
jimijon

Yikes

Happened upon this link through my various paths along the information highway that I frequent. Some of my favorites lie deep in the conspiracy forest. No matter, I enjoy my travels and the road folk know me well. However, there is some serious energy deep in the green forest and it is no joke.

RFID ME BABY

Everywhere I turn these days in the world of technology I am seeing a massive push towards RFID. RFID's will surely catch on and will even increaes efficiencies for our corporations. It is also just another marker on the road towards enslavement and serfdom. As guess one can say, "Nothing important here, keep moving people."

Maybe my next post I will have some thoughts on privacy.

Red Alert Here?

Why would the terrorists want to hurt us here again? I say they would not because they already have us where they want us. They have lured us into too many traps where we cannot win. Our occupation of Iraq is illegal at best and at worst the low moral ground. Is G-D really on our side here?

The terrorists are winning the war. War is not a battle but at the least a series of battles and we the United States of America of decided to start World War III. Now that this great war has started I suggest that the terrorists are smart enough to know that the way to defeat a New World Order America is to hit it economically. It is no secret that America has been enjoying a 30 year ponzi scheme of profits to the financial and legal classes. We have incurred a massive and systemic debt.

This debt could be serviceable based upon us gaining control of the oil assets of Iraq. If the world is to continue growing and inflating, then there better be oil. Well, unfortunately for us, our "misappropriating" leaders have led us completely astray without truth or thoughtful discourse on the issue of oil, control and future growth.

The terrorists will just keep beating us every single day. Drip drop, drip drop, drip drop, drip drop of our neighbor's blood spilt on the faraway lands of our brothers. This incessant killing will be their psyops. The destruction and sabotaging of the various pipelines will be their awe and destruction. Each day absent from the markets forcing prices up up up. Our economy down, down, down. Oh what is that I hear? Red Alert Red Alert.

The Economy Tanks

Well today it looks as though Mr. Greenspan shot his load about six months too soon. His expansion of credit worked for a while but now credit is gonna go searching. We are all refinanced baby... now what?

Bush is out... the economy is gonna do it to him. The only way out is we win the Iraq war and get the spoils, otherwise, it is looking like we could be in for a big loud pop.

Allright, I'm in. It is time to post my journal. Hey maybe years from now a relative will enjoy it.

Anyway the markets are down, the country is in debt and we are losing the war of Iraq. Things, I think, are about to get a lot worse before they will get better. cheers
