Before we say ANYTHING, keep in mind that we’re not endorsing ANY candidate of this election. We are aware that there are diverse perceptions regarding politics and almost everything you read on touchy subjects. We do however condone talking about things society considers “controversial” and tell you NOT to talk about. Well we do here because you’re intelligent enough to hear the other side of the argument, agree to disagree, yet respect each others opinions and points of views. This is nothing to do with being “American”, this is EVERYTHING to do with being human on this planet with ideas, thoughts, and beliefs that you take to heart while allowing others to do the same.

So we wanted to play with this a little bit and give us your thoughts after;

Among the small number of American newspapers that have embraced Donald Trump’s campaign, there is one, in particular, that stands out.

It is called the Crusader — and it is one of the most prominent newspapers of the Ku Klux Klan.

Under the banner “Make America Great Again,” the entire front page of the paper’s current issue is devoted to a lengthy defense of Trump’s message — an embrace some have labeled a de facto endorsement.

“‘Make America Great Again!’ It is a slogan that has been repeatedly used by Donald Trump in his campaign for the presidency,” Pastor Thomas Robb wrote in the Crusader. “You can see it on the shirts, buttons, posters and ball caps such as the one being worn here by Trump speaking at a recent rally. … But can it happen? Can America really be great again? This is what we will soon find out!”

“While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What made America great in the first place?'” the article continues. “The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did — but because of who our forefathers were.

“America was founded as a White Christian Republic. And as a White Christian Republic it became great.”

The Trump campaign sharply and swiftly criticized the article. “Mr. Trump and the campaign denounces hate in any form,” the campaign said in a statement Tuesday evening. “This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign.”

What we’re wondering is what’s so hateful about the word “white”, let along “white Christian Republic”?

We can see white in many ways; white snow, white crayons, white sand, white sugar, white flour, white doves, white teeth, white paper, white—out. And if people are referring to “white people”, the last time we saw them they were all dead; blood and fluids drained out. So white people from every ethnicity (including black, Asian, Natives, etc) can’t technically be offended by anything because they’re in the morgue if not already buried or cremated.

Now if you consider “Christian” being hateful, it depends on how you see it. Hell sounds like a very “hateful” place you’re doomed to go if you’re not “Christian” and be punished by God. And almost every war in the world started based on different religious beliefs including Christianity (sometimes called “Crusaders for Christ). According to historical data, you either converted to this religion, confessed you believed in it, or was tortured and/or killed (just ask Joan of Arc and the Salem Witches in the 1690s).

“Republic” sounds like some form of religion in politics. It has differen meanings according to those who claim they live in one; (DPRK Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Islamic Republic of Iran, USSR, The People’s Republic of China, The United States of America), I can go on and on. Are these countries “hateful”?

Reached by phone, Robb told The Washington Post that while the Crusader wasn’t officially endorsing Trump, his article signaled the publication’s enthusiastic support for the Republican billionaire’s candidacy.

“Overall, we do like his nationalist views and his words about shutting down the border to illegal aliens,” Robb said. “It’s not an endorsement because, like anybody, there’s things you disagree with. But he kind of reflects what’s happening throughout the world. There seems to be a surge of nationalism worldwide as nationals reclaim their borders.”

The 12-page quarterly newspaper calls itself “The Political Voice of White Christian America!” and has a well-known white supremacist symbol on its front page. The latest edition includes articles about Jewish links to terrorism, black-on-white crime and a man who claims to be Bill Clinton’s illegitimate child. An article near the end of the paper says that Trump’s candidacy is “moving the dialogue forward.”

The publication’s website says that its “number one goal” is to “stop white genocide.”

That word “genocide” is very powerful to most people. We see genocide as killing a particular “gene”. Academia and cultures have taught people to see genes according to the pigmentation of skin instead of seeing it as a human code. So when a mass murder is happening, or has happened regardless of ethnicity or culture, we consider killing massive amount of humans as genocide. Referring to our version of “white”, we all can die right now, but there will still remain white snow, white crayons, white sand, white sugar, white flour, white doves, white teeth, white paper, and white—out.

Since the earliest days of his presidential bid, Trump has attracted the support of prominent white nationalists across the country, setting off fears that a dormant fringe faction of the GOP base — one steeped in xenophobic and white supremacist rhetoric — would be folded back into mainstream politics.

In the early months, white nationalists said they were reluctant to publicly throw their support behind the controversial billionaire for fear of harming his strengthening campaign. But white nationalists said as Trump became more emboldened, they did too.

In January, Jared Taylor — editor of the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance — lent his voice to a robo-call recording urging registered voters in Iowa to back Trump. Those potential voters, Taylor told The Post, are part of a silent majority who are tired of being asked to celebrate diversity but are afraid of being labeled bigots.

A month later, Trump was embraced by former KKK grand wizard David Duke, which led to a controversial exchange between CNN’s Jake Tapper and the Republican candidate. Asked by Tapper to “unequivocally condemn” Duke, Trump pleaded ignorance.

“Just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, okay?” Trump said.

Tapper pressed him several more times to disavow Duke and the KKK, but Trump again declined.

“I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists,” Trump said. “So I don’t know. I don’t know — did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists.”

He just said he know nothing about this dude, nor this practice.

So this part is extremely important because it goes to perception. If I know nothing about a person, place, thing, or organization personally, I’m not going to have an opinion about them, nor agree or disagree with what they say because I never asked them to elaborate. Trump is saying he knows nothing about them or “white supremacy”, so of course he can’t disavow them or anybody he know nothing about. I’m the same way; I’d be considered a black man to “society”, but because I never met the KKK in person, I have no opinions about them either, nor can I condemn anything they say based on what someone else say about them. This goes for Hitler, Nazism, socialism, communism, Mao, Stalin, or anyone I’ve never met, sat down with, and talked to in person.

That same month, Rachel Pendergraft — the national organizer for the Knights Party, a standard-bearer for the Ku Klux Klan — told The Post that Trump’s campaign offered the organization a new outreach tool for recruiting new members and expanding their formerly dwindling ranks.

The Republican presidential candidate, Pendergraft said at the time, provided separatists with an easy way to start a conversation about issues that are important to the dying white supremacist movement.

“One of the things that our organization really stresses with our membership is we want them to educate themselves on issues, but we also want them to be able to learn how to open up a conversation with other people,” Pendergraft said.

Using Trump as a conversation piece has been discussed on a private, members-only website and in “e-news, stuff that goes out to members.”

In addition to opening “a door to conversation,” she said, Trump’s surging candidacy has electrified some members of the movement.

“They like the overall momentum of his rallies and his campaign,” Pendergraft said. “They like that he’s not willing to back down. He says what he believes and he stands on that.”

In August, the American Nazi Party’s chairman, Rocky Suhayda, agreed, declaring on his radio show that Trump offers “real opportunity” to build the white nationalist movement.

More recently, Trump’s rallies have been marred by a series of racially charged incidents.

Last week, a black Trump supporter was booted from a North Carolina rally after he was mistaken for being a protester. Trump’s security detail escorted a man out of the rally as the audience cheered.

“You can get him out,” Trump said, making a sideways motion with his thumb. “Get him out.”

The person in question turned out to be C.J. Cary, a North Carolina resident, who claims to be a longtime Trump supporter.

Cary, in a phone interview, said Saturday that he had gone to the rally because he wanted to hand-deliver a note to the Republican presidential nominee. He made his way to about 20 to 30 feet from the stage and shouted “Donald!” while waving his note around to try to catch his attention.

“Everyone else is waving Trump signs and I’m waving this white letter,” Cary, 63, said. He said that, coupled with the fact that he was wearing sunglasses during an evening rally to deal with his sensitivity to light, may have been what set people off.

Cary said a security official noticed he appeared to be a supporter but said he should not have disrupted the rally.

“He asked me, ‘What happened? You have on a GOP badge,’ ” Cary said. “I said, ‘I’m yelling at Donald, and he thinks I’m a protester.’ ”

This reminds me of something. Maybe the Crips and Bloods learned something here;

You reppin yo flag nigga?

Political correct translation;

You’re wearing your GOP badge? But sorry you got shot at because you look like a Beaner trying to be a Yakuza.

Days later, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, forcefully disavowed a supporter as “deplorable” for chanting “Jew-S-A!” at a weekend rally, the latest incident of anti-Semitic rhetoric used by some of the GOP nominee’s backers, according to Post reporters Jose A. DelReal and Sean Sullivan.

Can someone tell me what’s the difference between being “anti-Semitic” and just being “racist”? I’m really confused about these two, and I know there are billions of different opinions and definitions regarding the two. Or is it?

“[The man’s] conduct is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our campaign or our candidate. Wow,” Conway said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “That man’s conduct was deplorable. And had I been there, I would have asked security to remove him immediately.”

The Saturday afternoon incident in Phoenix was captured on video that showed a man confronting reporters at the rally with shouts and a three-fingered hand gesture that resembled hate symbols flagged by the Anti-Defamation League.

“You’re going down! You’re the enemy!” the man yelled. As the rest of the crowd broke into a chant of “USA! USA!,” the man repeatedly chanted, “Jew-S-A! Jew-S-A!”

Could there be a reason why he said that?

According to some conspiracy theorists (and I don’t say that in a negative manner), most Fortune 500 and major multinational corporations including banks are controlled by what they call the “Zionist Jews” cabal, which is allegedly separate from real Jews (who so happened to be against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and the human rights violation of Palestinians).

So according to many researches, America’s government is controlled by the influence of these Zionist Jewish corporations. This answers the question of why mainstream media and religion is a staunch supporter of the State of Israel, why they condemn any hint of “anti-Semitics” and even violate freedom of speech and expression here to suppress any criticism of the Jewish state, and its treatment of the Palestinians — because the media is owned by these same corporations?

That’s like Fox News criticizing Rupert Murdock of News Corp. and CBS making a news special on the corruption of Sumner Redstone’s family.

There’s even concerns of the whole Holocaust stories being a hoax to cover up the real reason behind Nazi Germany, Hitler’s true intentions to protect Germany, its people (including Jews there) against this Zionist cabal and their Allies in Britain and the United States, and what the word Holocaust REALLY mean. This coverup was believed to maintain the status quo in America to complete an agenda of corporate control over the masses. Which also makes sense because (according to Sigmund Freud) the masses don’t think for themselves, and buy everything under the sun to fill a void. If this is true, then the alleged Zionist Jews agenda will happen. No one force the masses to buy their products.

After doing research, this has showed us how misunderstandings of cultures, and a society who only speak American English can defend Israel and the Zionist Jews on knee jerk reaction based on a story they’ve heard instead of understand Latin, Greek, German, and seeing for themselves why this gentleman would chant “Jew-S-A”.

Could it be that the Zionist Jews own the U.S.A.?

If this is true, and you have a problem with this allegation — wouldn’t it be best to start your own business and/or start buying local? Just a thought.

Conway agreed when CNN’s Jake Tapper asked whether the man’s behavior was “deplorable” — a reference to controversial comments made last month by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who was criticized for casting “half of Trump’s supporters” as a “basket of deplorables.” Clinton later expressed regret for suggesting that half of his supporters were racist or xenophobic.

As DelReal and Sullivan reported, the “Jew-S-A” incident revived long-standing anxieties about xenophobic and white supremacist rhetoric used by a fringe faction within the GOP nominee’s base.

Like this wasn’t a concern 8 years ago with the whole Barack Osama presidential gig? (I wrote that on purpose for a reason).

I saw and witnessed fringe groups of some blacks forming military style tactics to intimidate others into voting for this man. I even saw a side of my family that gave me an outer body experience. So could it be their turn?

Then I started studying the psy-op technique of controlled oppositions. I saw how profitable it is to deploy this program. That’s when everything came together and I saw the game.

Anti-Semitic slogans and language, they wrote, have become common among self-identified members of the “alt-right,” a fringe conservative movement that fashions itself as a populist and anti-establishment alternative to the mainstream Republican Party. Many within the alt-right have enthusiastically embraced Trump’s campaign message, which has included calls for mass deportations of undocumented Latino immigrants and for barring foreign Muslims from entering the United States.

Many of Trump’s critics have accused him and his campaign of stoking racial grievances as a political tool. Those accusations have intensified since Stephen K. Bannon stepped away from running Breitbart News — which he has called a “platform for the alt-right” — to become the Trump campaign’s chief executive.

“I wouldn’t want to tar and feather every Trump supporter with the anti-Semitic comments of one person, but it is the case that the Trump campaign has been embraced by the radical right in an unprecedented way this season,” said Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Trump came under fire over the summer for retweeting an image of rival Hillary Clinton alongside $100 bills and a Jewish star bearing the words “most corrupt candidate ever!” Trump later claimed that it was a sheriff’s star.

Trump’s son, Donald Jr., also drew attention for doing an interview with a white-nationalist radio host this year; he later told Bloomberg News that he did not realize the interviewer was going to be looped into the conversation. He was also blasted for posting an image on social media he said he got from a friend that included Pepe the Frog, a figure that has been appropriated by white supremacists. He told ABC News that he did not know about the association.

VIDEO: Valedictorian Reveals Illegal Immigration Status
I stay away from this immigration debate, however out of curiosity…
Some of the tweets claim their “tax dollars” (remember to ask for a balance sheet for proof) paying for this criminal to go to college, who achieved a valedictorian status, preparing to go to college (Yale), so that she can contribute to America’s health to become a neurosurgeon.
BUT—they don’t mind having their “tax dollars” pay for the incarceration of Bernie Madoff and the Boston Marathon’s “alleged” bomber. Not mentioning rapists, murderers, you know the whole shabang?
So let me get the word “criminal” clear:
The government creates criminals when they pass a law to outlaw certain actions or products. So if alcohol was illegal during prohibition and you consumed alcohol, you was a criminal. And if you smoked weed, you were a criminal.
So let me get most of Americans clear here…..
They’d rather pay taxes to lock Bernie Madoff and Boston “alleged” bomber up in federal prison in the name of “JUSTICE”…….
But refuse to pay, and be angry towards this young lady choosing to pursue a career in medicine and contribute—-I can’t even finish this….
So there’s your Prison Industrial Complex. THERE’S your future….
PAY FOR A SWINDLER FOR THREE MEALS A DAY
while….
VERBALLY PUNISHING THIS “CRIMINAL” FOR BEING THE TOP OF HER CLASS AND GOING TO COLLEGE.
Really America? Really?
TURN THAT FUCKING TV OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for those tweets that called her a criminal, I’m curious if they saw and heard the entire speech first*

*I do want to make note that I wasn’t there, so this is allegations that I believe half what I hear and see. But let’s say it’s real. Congratulations.

Yes, we are ALL humans. That does NOT dismiss my questioning everything, which leads to this…

The other half I’m questioning is if she was planted by the government to insight heated debates (which cause division among the country), and invoke emotions towards immigration, rather in a positive or negative light. Is she a distraction?

I question EVERYTHING, and don’t leave NO stone un-turned.

Regardless of the “hidden” agendas, we would never know. However, what we CAN know is having unconditional love for ourself AND all humanity so that this profitable “immigration debate” no longer matters anymore.

OH, one last thing:
Did the alleged “founding fathers” (which were undocumented immigrants from Europe) ask for citizenship from the Native Americans? Wondering.
 
I guess you should’ve built that wall after all Pocahontas…

Judge Judy DESTROYS an Obama-Supporting Welfare Cheat: I’m Sending This Tape to Congress!

Judge Judy DESTROYS an Obama-Supporting Welfare Cheat: I’m Sending This Tape to Congress!

The welfare system, in theory, is supposed to be temporary and help people when they are down on their luck. But in practice, it has created an entire class of citizens who refuse to work and live off the work of others. In many minority communities, with the number of single-parent households skyrocketing, the state often takes the place of the father.

Watch (below) as Judge Judy takes a “lazy” guy to task for misspending money the government gave him for rent. Because his friend provided him housing, he pocketed the money. And in Barack Obama’s America, it’s clear he had a sense of entitlement to abuse that government program anyway he saw fit.

Judge Judy, as a taxpayer, is not pleased and explains to him where that money (allegedly) comes from(!) She explains the purpose of the program, and is so mad that she promises to send this clip to Congress.

Watch:

Original article credit: American Journal Review

Not blaming Judge Judy or anyone, but I’m afraid she (along with a lot of taxpayers) might be a little uninformed.

And I’m not defending this kid’s action either.

For the record, I’m not for or against welfare. And no, I don’t have to choose one or the other. I do not have an opinion based on others perception of anything. So I consider myself neutral. You’ll see why later on.

Being “productive in society” may mean something noble to you, but NOT for the powers in government. Not blaming them, but being “productive citizens” is also part of the game and the cog wheel. And Congress is loving it. Why wouldn’t they?

You’ll see why in a minute.

With that being said, let me share THE most SHOCKING news you’ll ever hear in your entire “taxpayer versus welfare recipient” life.

I wanted you to read the paragraphs above without my two cents. However, I did highlight some key words for a reason.

  1. The word “suppose” is an assumption of an action that was designed for a particular purpose based on two or more agreements given to others. For example, tax dollars “supposed” to go towards a certain program but it’s not. Or, you “suppose” to go to work after finishing school, etc. Society put a condition on you that you’re “suppose” to do certain things based on what some politician or group told THEM about the particular action.
  2. The phrase “refuse to work and live off the work of others” is very popular among those who don’t know the game the government’s playing on them. The “refuse to work” is coined because the masses see “work” as a job you go to instead of the inner work of understanding who you are (thyself) without the labels put on you by others in society. But the BIGGEST misconceptions is “live off the work of others” myth. Others work has nothing to do with those on welfare because those who work aren’t paying for welfare recipient at all. Shocked? You’ll see why in a minute.
  3. If “lazy” is such a bad thing, why do most people like to relax in a “lazy” river? Hahaha just joking….on the serious note though, lazy is used as a weapon of words used by those who feel like they’re being financially and legally raped by the government, and throw their venom towards those who’s learning and using the system. You’ll see why in a minute.
  4. The blame game again; it’s all “Obama’s fault” right? His plan was to put as many people on welfare and food stamps right?
  5. The word “entitlement” is another favorite from the “taxpayer’s” venom. They claim that this kid is “abusing” the system by using funds “earmarked” for his rent on something else. And now get angry about it for a long time because they’re “forced” to pay something they don’t want to pay for.
  6. The last part’s my favorite. The author of this article obviously took this news personally based on the exclamation mark, and what most been told without seeing physical evidence or an audit showing how their “taxes” are used. And being “mad” about it definitely keep the fingers pointing and the “divide & conquer” game going.

Believe it or not, this stigma between taxpayers and “welfare recipients” are so profitable because it keeps America divided.

Look at it like this; it’s not the class warfare mentality that’s dividing America, it’s the assumption of where the resources coming from and where it’s going to…that keeps it going.

The best way to understand this game in a kindergarten level is to let Sherry Jackson, former IRS agent explain it to you.

How you digest this information is totally up to you, it’s neither right or wrong. However the thing that stuck out to me is the division this tax code has created. It’s causing this so-call “United” states to fight among each other for who owes what to whom over SPECULATIONS…….

That word “United” has a funny lingo to it doesn’t it?

References: Grab your copy of The Creature From Jekyll Island Now. And Stop Being A Self Sabotaging PAWN.

OH, AND THE UNITED STATES IS NOT BROKE AND NEVER WAS. FAR FROM IT. THAT’S THE OTHER SECRET YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT, OR ELSE THIS “WELFARE” DEBATE WOULDN’T EVEN EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE……..

WHAT’S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? COMMENT BELOW…

 

Hillary Clinton’s war crimes are unforgivable. No real progressive could ever support her.

Hillary Clinton’s war crimes are unforgivable. No real progressive could ever support her.

Yep, we’re on Hillary again…

(WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AND CONTENT. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)

Let me ask; what’s a “Progressive?” What does that mean?

I grew up in a right-wing Republican Bible Belt environment that always blamed “liberals” for every ills of politics, the economy, etc.

Well I’m not sure if they knew how to read but I did, and I decided to find out what the word “liberal” meant (according to old Webster, and NetScape..at the time…late 90s). I was surprise to read that LIBERAL in Latin meant (to liberate; a political philosophy that promotes liberty).

If that’s what “liberal” means then what the heck is “conservative?”

So if that’s liberal (among most American English language), maybe its best we learn a lot of Latin so we understand what the fuck we really saying without looking stupid?

I say that because in my experience I grew up around conservative “warmongers” who was ready to blow up everything under the sun in this God-forsaken planet. Everything and everyone who weren’t “conservative Christians” was an enemy of God and had to be dealt with. Yes, I grew up around that. Oh, and the death penalty was God’s will.

Now that I got all of that off my chest, it brings us back to the title regarding “war crimes”.

Let’s read the article below to get a clear reason why Hillary is being accused of such atrocious act.

IT’S PRETTY LONG SO BARE WITH ME HERE…

However if you’re impatient as me and realize that most of this shit is pure propaganda, you can skip all the way down to avoid insulting your intelligence.

Hillary Clinton made headlines with a speech in San Diego casting Donald Trump as unfit for the presidency due to the damage his incendiary rhetoric could cause. Simultaneously, the former Secretary of State sought to convince the California audience that she was the safer choice in foreign policy matters.

But when taking a closer look at US foreign policy under her leadership as the nation’s top diplomat, it’s obvious that Clinton could potentially be as disastrous as Trump if given the position of Commander-in-Chief.

Here are a few examples of countries where conditions are tremendously worse as a result of Hillary Clinton’s policies.

Hillary Clinton made Libya a failed state

In an April interview with Fox News, President Barack Obama, reflecting on his 7 years as Commander-in-Chief, admitted that ousting Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was the biggest mistake of his presidency. While Obama took responsibility for the failure of Libya in that interview, he relied on the input of Hillary Clinton, his Secretary of State at the time.

In March of 2011, Clinton met with Mahmoud Jibril, who was leading the opposition to Gaddafi. As the New York Times reported, Clinton asked Jibril a series of questions about how his coalition planned to fill the power vacuum that would be created by Gaddafi’s ouster. And in the end, it was Clinton who convinced the White House that deposing Gaddafi was the right thing to do:

Her conviction would be critical in persuading Mr. Obama to join allies in bombing Colonel Qaddafi’s forces. In fact, Mr. Obama’s defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, would later say that in a “51-49” decision, it was Mrs. Clinton’s support that put the ambivalent president over the line.

The 2011 NATO-led invasion of Libya that took place after Clinton’s visit has since allowed extremist groups to seize power in an unprecedented takeover of much of the country over the last five years.

In 2014, the US State Department shut down the US embassy in Libya and issued a travel warning urging all Americans to stay away from the country. Roughly one year ago, Libya’s central bank, the last remaining institution in the failed state, was forced to flee to a city in the Eastern region of the country due to rebel forces encroaching on the bank’s facility in Tripoli, the capital. Libya is now a haven for terrorists, with thousands of ISIS soldiers using the country as a staging ground.

In an interview on CBS, Clinton laughed about Gaddafi’s slaying, proudly exclaiming, “We came, we saw, he died.”

Hillary Clinton deserves credit for poverty and instability in Haiti

In Haiti, the first state ever founded by freed black slaves, citizens are still fighting for political and economic freedom today, largely due to the influence of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

In 2011, Wikileaks published US State Department cables from 2008 and 2009 confirming that State Department officials were meeting behind closed doors with Haitian business leaders, plotting on how to stop the Haitian government from implementing a 37-cent hike in the minimum wage from $0.24 an hour to $0.61 cents an hour.

While Haitian President René Préval was initially neutral on the proposal of raising the minimum wage, he went on the record opposing the wage hike after consistent efforts from within the US Embassy in Haiti and the Haitian business lobby by July of 2009. Politifact rated the claim that Clinton’s State Department tried to suppress the wage hike as half-true, since there’s no link proving that Clinton directly played a role.

A Haitian boy carries water taken from a stream. (Care.org)

However, Clinton’s influence on Haiti didn’t stop there. As US Uncut previously reported, the former Secretary of State took an active role in swinging Haitian’s presidential elections in favor of corporate special interests. In the first round of Haiti’s presidential elections, thousands of citizens took to the streets demanding an annulment of election results, alleging that then-Haitian president Michel Martelly committed election fraud.

Martelly, who succeeded René Préval, is a close confidant of the Clinton family. In 2011, Martelly appointed Bill Clinton to an advisory board whose stated goal was to court foreign investors.

And in one of Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails made public, Clinton’s chief of staff received an email from another staffer openly boasting about using connections within the Haitian business elite to lobby for the withdrawal of Jude Célestin, Martelly’s political rival, from an upcoming runoff election. The aide, Kenneth Merten, predicted the news of the US interfering in election results would create widespread protests, and said he had called Martelly, asking him to plead with Haitians “to not pillage.”

While Martelly is no longer in power, his hand-picked successor, Jovenel Moïse, won the most recent election. However, watchdogs are calling the results fraudulent and demanding a new election. Ricardo Seitenfus, who has served as representative of the Organization of American States (OAS) for the last eight years, admitted that Haiti’s government is essentially a puppet of US interests, saying the Haitian election schedule is “subject to the U.S. schedule.” Hillary Clinton deserves to be closely scrutinized when touting her diplomacy record, as Haiti’s political instability is a result of her policies.

Honduras’ downfall resulted from a coup Clinton supported

Mural of slain Honduran activist Berta Caceres.

In 2009, shortly after Obama took office and appointed Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, Honduran president Manuel Zelaya was arrested at gunpoint by the military and forced onto a plane to Costa Rica while a new government took power. While the US State Department didn’t directly oust Zelaya, it refused to call his ouster a coup, despite calls from the U.S. ambassador to Honduras and from Congress to do so. In her interview with the New York Daily News editorial board, Clinton defended her decision to keep sending aid to Honduras despite the violent overthrow of Zelaya:

I think, in retrospect, we managed a very difficult situation, without bloodshed, without a civil war, that led to a new election. And I think that was better for the Honduran people. But we have a lot of work to do to try to help stabilize that and deal with corruption, deal with the violence and the gangs and so much else.

However, the result of the coup was a massive amount of bloodshed, as gangs and drug cartels began to take more power in the absence of a stable government. In the year following the coup, Clinton’s State Department published a list of human rights abuses prevalent in Honduras:

“…unlawful killings by police and government agents, which the government took some steps to prosecute; arbitrary and summary killings committed by vigilantes and former members of the security forces; harsh prison conditions; violence against detainees; corruption and impunity within the security forces; lengthy pretrial detention and failure to provide due process of law; politicization, corruption, and institutional weakness of the judiciary; corruption in the legislative and executive branches; government restrictions on the recognition of some civil society groups; violence and discrimination against women; child prostitution and abuse; trafficking in persons; discrimination against indigenous communities; violence and discrimination against persons based on sexual orientation; ineffective enforcement of labor laws; and child labor.”

The horrific conditions in Honduras triggered a mass exodus of migrants to the US. As Telesur reported, approximately 9,000 child refugees fled Honduras in 2015. Also in 2015, Clinton defended the deportation of children back to the Central American countries they’re fleeing in order “send a message.” However, Clinton has since walked back that statement as her Democratic presidential primary battle with Bernie Sanders became more competitive.

This March, the violence in Honduras became a subject of international scrutiny when 44-year-old environmental activist Berta Caceres was assassinated in her home. Caceres had been an outspoken opponent of a proposed hydroelectric plant on indigenous land, and had recently gotten in an altercation with soldiers, police, and employees of a private power company while protesting the project just weeks before she was killed.

Clinton is responsible for the fall of Iraq and Syria (and the rise of ISIS)

In late 2011, after months of sustained anti-government protests inspired by the “Arab Spring” movement, Hillary Clinton called for the resignation of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Then, in April 2012, Clinton gave a speech in Turkey more forcefully calling specifically for regime change, saying, “Assad must go.” Those three words created the policies that led to both the rise of ISIS in Syria and the European refugee crisis of 2015.

One of Clinton’s last actions as Secretary of State was to call for the arming of Syrian rebels fighting Assad. As the London Telegraph reported, Clinton’s plan to give weapons to Assad’s enemies was backed by not only former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, but also by former CIA director David Petraeus and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Obama initially rejected his Secretary of State’s plan, he eventually agreed to arm Syrian rebels in the goal of ousting Assad.

However, as ISIS began to get a foothold into Syria and Iraq, the “moderates” that received weapons from the US were eventually overtaken by ISIS fighters, who suddenly found themselves in the possession of military-grade weapons paid for with US tax dollars. In a study conducted by Conflict Armament Research, which tracks the movement of arms in war-torn regions, researchers found that ISIS has weapons and ammunition not just from the US, but also from coalition forces that are funded by the US government. The access to advanced weaponry was likely the reason for ISIS’ rapid expansion into Libya, Egypt, and elsewhere.

The consequences of destabilizing Syria and Iraq are apparent. Over one million refugees, largely from countries where the US intervened militarily, fled to Europe between 2015 and 2016, creating the world’s largest refugee crisis since World War II. In this chart compiled by Eurostat, the top three countries people are fleeing are Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq:

Yemeni blood is on Hillary Clinton’s hands

Yemeni citizens dig graves for those killed as a result of the Saudi invasion.

Saudi Arabia’s invasion of Yemen, which started in 2015 and continues today, was made possible with arms purchased by the US government. Since Obama’s presidency, the US has sold approximately $46 billion in arms to the Saudis, with many of those weapons sales greenlighted by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. As US Uncut reported in April, Clinton was particularly focused on making sure the US came through for Saudi Arabia in a 2011 weapons deal. David Sirota of the International Business Times reported that Clinton argued the arms deal was “in the national interest.”

At press conferences in Washington to announce the department’s approval, an assistant secretary of state, Andrew Shapiro, declared that the deal had been “a top priority” for Clinton personally. Shapiro, a longtime aide to Clinton since her Senate days, added that the “U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army have excellent relationships in Saudi Arabia.”

Saudi Arabia is very likely using the weapons acquired from that 2011 exchange to wage brutal bombing campaigns in Yemen. In March, Foreign Policy magazine accused the US and its allies of complicity in war crimes by funding and arming the Saudi regime:

Hundreds of civilians have been killed in airstrikes while asleep in their homes, when going about their daily activities, or in the very places where they had sought refuge from the conflict. The United States, Britain, and others, meanwhile, have continued to supply a steady stream of weaponry and logistical support to Saudi Arabia and its coalition.

This week, the United Nations added the Saudi-led coalition to a blacklist of states and armed groups that violate children’s human rights during conflicts, with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon personally slamming

Hillary Clinton is completely right that Donald Trump is woefully unprepared to take on the responsibilities of Commander-in-Chief. But voters should also be leery of Clinton, who, despite having met with more world leaders than any presidential candidate in US history, is responsible for some of the worst foreign policy blunders of the 21st century.

I mentioned before how it seems as though ISIS is the new boogeyman to watch out for. Then the masses wait for the next boogeyman to be scared of and ready to “shoot first and ask questions later”.

However, I’m going to play Hillary’s (and every political figure accused of war crimes) attorney here and ask who the REAL war crime offenders are.

According to the Constitution, and an alleged conversation Ben Franklin had with someone back in the days (“you have a republic, if you can keep it” -Ben Franklin), the American people are blessed with the power to elect certain people to lead their country (which have me questioning and wondering about this Electoral College gig).

So let’s say that the American people vote for the president to make them feel special and important. During my entire life of paying attention to politics, every election I’ve seen, a candidate that mentions blowing something, ANYTHING up was the one that end up being the nominee for that party. I mean, they have to sound all bad ass and “cowboy” like in order to get the votes, ‘we gon’ track em down, wanted dead or alive’ and the people–the PEOPLE–eat that shit up like a siesta festival! You mentioned the Constitution? Well…

Sorry Ron but War loving ‘Muricans voted Romney as their Republican nominee in 2012

But you throw out some WAR candy like a Mardi Gras confetti and…

You sell it Trump and Cruz! I need to beef up my Lockheed Martin dividend checks…

By the way, you can count on Trump to deliver on ‘blowing the shit out of em’ because it seems like “blowing up’ sounds better than ‘utterly destroy’. (Cruz dropped out)

War sales. And it continues to sell. You just need a salesman/woman to pitch it very good to the bloodthirsty crowd that knows that these countries aren’t human.

So who’s the warmonger? Oh it doesn’t just end with Republicans, with Democrats war is only barbaric, until they got their boy in the white house…

The thing is Obama didn’t lie. He’s as truthful as he can come across. No really! He’s only a reflection of most of his “followers” who already knows war and see it everyday, they just need a (D) at the end for it to be okay.

So you see Bush, it wasn’t because you was the “worst President”, you just didn’t have the (D) at the end. All you had to do was play with the alphabets a little bit, then invading Iraq and Afghanistan would’ve been okay with them too.

Now now. In the meantime give Laura Bush (D) the head’s up if you want a second run at it. 😉 CREDIT: giphy

Most of the American people NEED war because they’re at war with themselves–constantly. That’s as criminal to humanity as the accusations thrown towards Henry Kissinger. How criminal?

It’s criminal in the first degree to say “God bless America”, and fear God at the same time. That’s where the war’s at; putting love and fear in the same sentence–that’s why they’re at war, their soul is like ‘WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!’

Then with the fear of this make-believe God who will punish you into eternal damnation if you don’t “love him”, you’re promoting an abusive relationship AND blackmail…

Hmmm, how does that fit in foreign policy? No..no…no the American people aren’t going to have a policy staying neutral according to that stale document called the Constitution. They need their “leader” to do a…hmm, what did Romney (the 2012 presidential nominee) say about implementing a “regime change” that’s best for American interest?

Church: give your life to an invisible God and pay your tithe or face torment and go to hell.

American foreign policy: give your allegiance to the U.S. and we put our bases here or face an invasion and we tell the American people through our CIA-back propaganda media you’re an enemy because you’re Muslim.

Better pay your tithing Imam…

If the American people DON’T vote for the president, then who get them the votes during primaries?

All I know is this; Ron Paul and every candidate that mentioned ANYTHING regarding the Constitution was left out, while the war mongers got the vote.

If voting with your dollar count, then is it on the businesses that fund the war, or the customer that fund the businesses that creates the war?

Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Op-Ed — Mainstream headlines constantly decry Bernie Sanders supporters for disrupting events in outrage, as if their protests and demonstrations somehow illustrate the devolution of the elections. But that focus by the corporate media utterly negates the consistent and continual reports of fraud and disenfranchisement fueling their ire.

And it’s getting ridiculous.

Newsweek, though far from alone, offered a prime example of the obfuscation of the election fraud and questionable campaign tactics by Hillary Clinton in its skewering of Sanders’ supporters.

Get Control, Senator Sanders, or Get Out,” Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald titled his op-ed — which thoroughly blasts the Vermont senator — as if he were somehow responsible for both the electoral chaos and the actions of an irate voting public.

“So, Senator Sanders,” Eichenwald writes [with emphasis added], “either get control of what is becoming your increasingly unhinged cult, or get out of the race. Whatever respect sane liberals had for you is rapidly dwindling, and the damage being inflicted on your reputation may be unfixable. If you can’t even manage the vicious thugs who act in your name, you can’t be trusted to run a convenience store, much less the country.”

Yeah! And that goes for you too…Donald Trump!

Really?

Because what Eichenwald obviates most readily in his attack is the inability to understand why those protests might be occurring in the first place. Judging by the timing of his article, it’s likely Eichenwald wrote it after chaos broke out at the Nevada Democratic Convention on Saturday — chaos that transpired after the party took it upon itself to ignore thousands who rightly believed Sanders delegates had been excluded unfairly from the caucus proceedings.

Despite the call for a recount, party officials refused to follow necessary procedure and abruptly adjourned the convention, leaving thousands of voters in the lurch — and hotel security and local law enforcement to deal with the aftermath. When things seem suspicious, apparently Eichenwald feels voters should not only have no recourse, they should be happy about it.

“Sanders has increasingly signaled that he is in this race for Sanders,” he continues, “and day after day shows himself to be a whining crybaby with little interest in a broader movement.”

It would be nice if Eichenwald’s hit piece were as much a joke as it comes across, but clearly he’s missed the point — and the vast movement supporting not only Sanders, but electoral justice. Worse, he didn’t stop there:

“Signs are emerging that the Sanders campaign is transmogrifying into the type of movement through which tyrants are born.

“The ugly was on display” at the aforementioned Nevada convention, Eichenwald adds, “where Hillary Clinton won more delegates than Sanders.”

No kidding. That would be precisely the issue that “cult” expressed fury about — Clinton managed to put yet another state under her belt under highly questionable circumstances. In fact, suspect happenings at nearly every primary and caucus so far oddly favor the former secretary of state — and Nevada stood as further testament to why voters are practically up in arms over what appears to be electoral favoritism.

But Eichenwald wasn’t alone in overlooking those concerns — or in blatantly mischaracterizing both that bias and its consequential thwarting of the wishes of a hefty segment of the voting public.

In the New York Times, Alan Rappeport also took the chance to strike at Sanders’ followers by citing Roberta Lange, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairwoman, who adjourned the convention early — earning the wrath of Nevada’s voters.

“‘It’s been vile,’ said Ms. Lange, who riled Sanders supporters by refusing their requests for rule changes at the event in Las Vegas,” Rappeport notes, adding, “The vicious response comes as millions of new voters, many of whom felt excluded by establishment politicians, have flocked to the insurgent campaigns of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump.”

Though he at least presented that aspect of the elections fairly, his description of what Lange actually did in Nevada misses the mark — that rules change had originally occurred prior to the convention, and Lange’s hasty and subjective decision on a contentious voice vote to permanently install the change arguably created the eruption of anger. But a number of Times staff have contributed sizeable amounts to Hillary’s campaign — and a Clinton family organization also donated $100,000 to the Times’ charitable organization the same year it endorsed her. Funny how bias thus peppers its reporting.

But the media roasting of Sanders and his supporters also appeared in the Sacramento Bee — where the editorial board also called the senator to task for the Nevada incident in lieu of calling out the controversial elections. According to the Bee,

“The episode had the reek of Trump rallies, where threats, insults, and sucker punches to defend the presumptive Republican nominee have been common. Yet looking back at the hundreds of Sanders supporters who descended on a Clinton rally in East Los Angeles earlier this month to intimidate her supporters, making one little girl cry, it now seems inevitable that the same kind of violent eruption would afflict those ‘feeling the Bern.’”

Seriously?

While the protest in L.A. certainly rattled Clinton supporters, violence didn’t pepper the event. One Sanders supporter — sporting a Free Hugs tee-shirt, no less — even assisted Clinton-supporting families with teary-eyed children in tow navigate through the crowd. While reports that someone ripped apart a young girl’s pro-Hillary sign might be valid, it would stand as the exception to what amounted to a boisterous demonstration over justifiable grievances. And, again, this obfuscation forgets entirely the need for demonstrations, which Hillary Clinton — in repeated lies, controversial policy proposals, and a campaign replete with fraud complaints — has clearly helped create.

Perhaps corporate, mainstream media — instead of targeting the symptom — should attempt to report its root cause.

No I don’t think corporate mainstream media should do that either. Reporting the “root cause” isn’t profitable and marketable. And if anyone (including you) really knew the root cause, you wouldn’t care what the media reports because you wouldn’t be watching it. And politics wouldn’t get under your skin, let along have anything to do with you and your life.

Perhaps enormous swaths of voters being dropped from the rolls in New York; Clinton’s inexplicably astronomical luck in coin tosses in Iowa; inexcusably untrained elections volunteers and their equally inexcusable tendency allowing Clinton supporters to participate in caucuses without first being registered; or any number of other examples from the mountain of ever-growing evidence the elections are, indeed, rigged, are infinitely more deserving of headlines than hit pieces against those protesting such affronts to the American electoral process.

See? If you knew the root cause, you wouldn’t care what headlines is more “deserving”.

Or perhaps we should all just do as Eichenwald suggests — swallow our pride and our desire for a less corrupt and fairer system — and turn tail.

Well I’m not in Eichenwald’s head but—I actually agree with him from my own perception.

Or not. Because this system is rigged — and the corporate media helps pull the strings. But as long as independent media reports what the mainstream refuses, and as long as fraud inundates the 2016 election, there will be protests — regardless of whether or not Newsweek and the Times and the rest of their ilk ever grasp accuracy in reporting.

So the system is “rigged”. Why?

What’s “rigged”, what does that mean?

Everyone who keep repeating “the system’s rigged” will give you more rigging. It’s the basic laws of attraction. And the government (and media) keeps on giving you what you keep saying they are…just keep on.

What’s rigged is using a wire hanger and aluminum to catch the right reception for your TV…that’s for those who remember the rabbit ears.

The mainstream media reports DRAMA, because drama sells. The thing is, drama is sold to a masses who’s addicted to–well, drama. So this article encourage “independent media” to report drama, then you’d be alright regarding coverage from a masses who wants more drama.

There will be protests. Really? How profitable. Protesting is such a masterful tool that get a bunch of angry people angry about something they know nothing about, for if they knew, they wouldn’t be protesting.

You see, the media is right. You might be the problem. It takes a viewer to turn the television on to watch what MSM got for them on today’s headlines to be angry about and share it among their angry friends and family. Same thing with social media, where everyone can click on their emoticons so Facebook, Twitter and other corporations can market to you based on your anger–voluntarily of course.

Mainstream media is a business, and they only sell what the viewers want. However, you’re not the problem if you like drama. What’s problematic is being in denial about it.

Bernie, Clinton, Trump, Johnson, Stein–it doesn’t matter who your cult of personality is. It’s all a game. And if anyone get so emotional over a story they heard (or watched) from someone else, and believe it without verifying the source. Well, maybe that’s a problem.

Then I’d encourage protesting.

Memorial Day; The Day TRUE Freedom Is Dismissed

Memorial Day; The Day TRUE Freedom Is Dismissed

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 15 YEARS TO SAY THIS…

Happy Memorial Day To…..Freedom of Speech

In The Most Contradicting Society In The World.

I honor the most controversial right that’s ever been given to humanity all over the world from their creator. I saw (and heard it) pass away on September 11, 2001.

Place of birth: Your independent mindset without fear of criticism

Place of death: The United States of America

Cause of Death: Civilian censorship

(Most civilians strictly regulate freedom of speech through threats of physical harm, death and their government parent via FCC, and Homeland Security towards anyone that presents an intelligent yet non-popular dialogs regarding everything from the Holocaust, false flags, the military and ethnic groups, to religion)

Memorial Day commemorates soldiers killed in war. We are told that the war dead died for us and our freedom. US Marine General Smedley Butler challenged this view. He said that our soldiers died for the profits of the bankers, Wall Street, Standard Oil, and the United Fruit Company. Here is an excerpt from a speech that he gave in 1933:
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we’ll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn’t a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its “finger men” to point out enemies, its “muscle men” to destroy enemies, its “brain men” to plan war preparations, and a “Big Boss” Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Most American soldiers died fighting foes who posed no threat to the United States. Our soldiers died for secret agendas of which they knew nothing. Capitalists hid their self-interests behind the flag, and our boys died for the One Percent’s bottom line.
Jade Helm, an exercise that pits the US military against the US public, is scheduled to run July 15 through September 15. What is the secret agenda behind Jade Helm?
The Soviet Union was a partial check on capitalist looting in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. However, with the Soviet collapse capitalist looting intensified during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes.
Neoliberal Globalization is now looting its own constituent parts and the planet itself. Americans, Greeks, Irish, British, Italians, Ukrainians, Iraqis, Libyans, Argentinians, the Spanish and Portuguese are being looted of their savings, pensions, social services, and job opportunities, and the planet is being turned into a wasteland by capitalists sucking the last penny out of the environment. As Claudia von Werlhof writes, predatory capitalism is consuming the globe. http://www.globalresearch.ca/neoliberal-globalization-is-there-an-alternative-to-plundering-the-earth/24403
We need a memorial day to commemorate the victims of neoliberal globalization. All of us are its victims, and in the end the capitalists also.

One of my major pet peeves as long as I can remember is where social media posts and mainstream media ORDERS you to feel a certain way about EVERYTHING regarding man-made holidays so that you can “boo-hoo” your way in eating your barbecue ribs, fried chicken, guzzling a beer and…whatever else society tells you is “patriotic” to do.

I don’t celebrate Memorial Day because there’s nothing to remember, or anyone to honor. The biggest mistake I believe humans are taught in their lives is to believe someone else “die” for their freedom. This stain of mental illness convince the person that freedom is this society where a document gave them freedom by a bunch of white bald headed men, and have to be “preserved” by a bunch of troops violating human rights all over the world in order for you to continue eating your barbecue ribs and drinking beer in the name of “freedom”.

Then, society says you’re a “good person” for thanking the troops for their “service” for their country.

Oh, are you getting angry? Can you feel the heat rushing through your body?

I’m laughing because I’m just getting started…I haven’t turned the key on this controversial engine yet.

Memorial Day is one of the biggest jokes in America. I keep my television off, and I stay far away from Facebook on those holidays to avoid the stupefied disease most (MOST) Americans like to blow all over my independent mind to have the independent FREEDOM to criticize Memorial Day in the first place.

Check out the major contradiction; tell people on Facebook that you have no respect for the corporate troops and the military, and see if the Constitution really protect you from the mob.

The military has become a sickness that affect everyone in this country. You wanna talk about fighting for freedom? Does freedom require thinking outside the box?

Does freedom introduce you to your own demons of why you do what you do and look to someone (or something else) for your corporate sponsored “freedom?”

What is freedom to you?

When society demonize a cashier who refused to serve a military soldier, is that freedom?

Why the fuck are we in countries all over the world? Is that freedom?

Have you ever asked yourself if the military is a religion of its own?

To most veterans who fought in passed wars. I have nothing against you. I would imagine you did what you thought was right at the time. I would assume that you were told you’re fighting for your country.

I respect only a quarter of the veterans I’ve spoken to in person, because they actually believed in fighting for a greater cause, and wanted to save humanity. Then after deployment, the PTSD that kicks in comes from seeing REAL WAR in their heads that has NOTHING to do with Americans, the people they were supposed to “save”, and freedom. They saw the demonic side of the military. They felt they were lied to in order to get them away from their families and into harm’s way.

I’ve also met most veterans I personally wanted to punch right dead in the face because they were just assholes who had no respect for human life. They were a disgrace to humanity period–at that time. I felt if they were shot dead at whatever fucking place they were at, good riddance–at that time before I had unconditional love for myself, and humanity.

That made me no longer put all soldiers in the same “respect and honor” table. And I grew up in a military family who’s currently serving in the Marines, Army and Navy.

I questioned everything, and not ONE rock went un-turned, not even the soft Americans precious foot soldiers.

Most American people love war, they love to drink the bloods of “enemies” MSM and their Bible considers “evil-doers”. They always promote bombing innocent countries, civilians, women and children, and violating these countries so that they can get their cheap gas.

Ooooh, is THAT what most Americans thanking the fallen for?

All while dismissing the foreign policy laid out by the United States Constitution which calls for REMAINING NEUTRAL.

How about this. Why don’t we reverse Memorial Day.

You see, America isn’t the ONLY country where its soldiers fight for their “citizen’s freedom”. Oh no, let’s reverse this.

Before the military get deployed, they “pray” for the “mission”, if they know what the mission is. Well you see, that’s what a “jihad” is. They pray before they go on their mission as well.

So let me ask you; what’s the difference between United States soldiers going to a foreign country to kill “terrorists”, and those in other countries coming here to kill “terrorist?”

What’s the difference between soldiers kicking in the private homes of Muslims or any other human life with machine guns, and a foreign soldier busting through YOUR door at two in the morning?

For freedom of course.

After September 11, 2001 two things woke up; love, and fear. I seen it with my own eyes the filth of fear people dove into after that date, and the increase of unconditional love for all humanity. Unfortunately, fear is extremely contagious in a drama and celebrity obsessed society. That was actually a time to turn every media format off, separate from people and really reflect on your life.

Well I did that, and I had the privilege of exploring both sides of the aisle. I was totally against war period! I hated war, and I’d never wanted anything to do with it. However, a lot of brain dead scary fuckers was ready to take out Osama bin Laden minutes after the attack happened without being presented with PHYSICAL evidence.

Meanwhile missing children cases are still unsolved…

I was surrounded by blood thirsty zombies who’d rather have the corporate sponsored “troops” do the drinking for them.

Then I started to discover myself, and realized that no one knows freedom unless they know themselves from a deeper understanding.

Freedom doesn’t exist in some document, or country, or foreign intervention. It exist from someone who doesn’t fear anything–including some God.

When you have no fear, then you have freedom. But when you recognize that “terrorist” exist, then you acknowledge that you’re opened to be terrorized, and therefore trade your freedom of not living in fear, to living in fear and claim someone else fight for a freedom you never had in the first place.

Therefore, because you’ve been taught to worship the military and your troops, and the fallen soldiers, just like the civilians do in the small countries the United States invaded, and their soldiers who fought for their “homeland security” that you were taught to call “terrorist”….

Most Americans’ reaction to this post is predictable, like clock work, so…funny.

What will happen is a comment will say how dare me to “disrespect our troops, veterans, yadadada” the whole regurgitated scripted emotional rant.

The whole point of my rant is this;

To society: Don’t tell me what to think, how to feel, who to remember, who to honor, what to say, how to say it, what to think, how to think, what to write, how to express myself to fit your fake corporate sponsored feelings–DO NOT censor me because you don’t like what I said. I’m a human being with human rights to twist and turn every “sacred” feelings society has adopted based one what somebody else told you. Society itself needs to be shocked every once in awhile. Freely express yourself to criticize what I said here, but do NOT criminalize my human expression because of society’s insecurity that fail to express theirs.

Those who SHOULD be honoring the fallen troops are the major corporations that sent them there in the first place, and the shareholders saying “thank you” while pouring a thousand dollar a bottle champagne on their graves.

NO ONE FIGHT FOR NO ONE’S FREEDOM WHEN FREEDOM IS DISCOVERING THYSELF ALONE. PERIOD.

To all the fallen soldiers;

Monsanto, BP, ExxonMobil, Disney, Chevron, IBM, Raytheon, General Electric, General Dynamic, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman, AT&T, JP Morgan Chase and all of Wall Street…

Thanks you.

Why Do Former Goldman Sachs Bankers Keep Landing Top Slots at the Federal Reserve?

Why Do Former Goldman Sachs Bankers Keep Landing Top Slots at the Federal Reserve?

Before we dive into this, I want to stress how crucial, critical, and important self-empowerment, responsibility, and choices are towards you–the individual. And, I want to highlight the importance of separating you–the individual from this soup of energy and mindsets of everyone else, or shall I say, the country.

So, read this for you and you only. Forget about the next door neighbor, forget about everyone else in your neighborhood, city, state, and the country altogether.

Next, forget about everything you’ve heard about everything the media says about everything.

You ready? Let’s go…

I will note this again because it should be noted again and again. Goldman Sachs should be dead. Door nail. Kaput. Finito. Gone. A piece of history. Expired.

But Goldman Sachs, Government Sachs, lives because it got bailed out by you the taxpayer. You’re the one who felt the brunt of the Great Recession. You who lost your home. You who moved in with the kids to make ends meet. You who went on food stamps quietly in desperation. You who had the heat turned off. You who saw the middle class slip away, away, away. You kept Goldman alive, largely because their former CEO Hank Paulson ran the US Treasury when Wall Street teetered on the open pits of hell.

This is the part where I would have the author speak for themselves. Unless they know you personally and you told them you went through all that and “bailed somebody out”, or you felt the brunt of the “Great Recession”, they no nothing about you.

However, IF you agree with that statement, I’m not going to stop you, I’m just curious to why you’d want to be in that soup in the first place if you desire anything in your life regarding money.

One of my pet peeves is when I hear people say “they’re spending taxpayer’s money” based on what their political gang or mainstream media told them, yet failed to justify their accusation by failing to see or even show me a balance sheet that prove something’s been paid by “taxpayers”.

Goldman should have fallen into the firey nether. A few of the other big banks would have followed the firm. But you know what wouldn’t have died? America.

Had we let capitalism actually work, had the crony barons actually paid for their breathtakingly stupid leveraged positions, we’d have probably recovered more quickly. Additionally, we’d now likely have a more robust (more) capitalist system than we had prior to 2008. The muck would have been cleared. Instead we must now deal with the crony system of legalized graft which has grown exponentially since the Crash.

Who’s “we”, and “us”?

We could’ve had THIS, but because THEY did THAT, we can’t have THE OTHER THING, and we gotta deal with THIS! So because we all are ordered to feel miserable because of THAT, all together America…

And now having been saved by you the taxpayer, the guy who likely couldn’t get past the reception desk at Goldman headquarters, Goldman has continued its crony quest.

(From The Nation)

Once Kashkari takes his seat on January 1, 2016, one-third of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks will be led by someone with strong ties to Goldman Sachs. In addition to Kashkari and his two fellow (and they are all fellow) recent appointees, the New York Fed’s president, William Dudley, is also a Goldman Sachs alumnus. He served as the bank’s chief economist for ten years as well as partner and managing director.

The presidents of the 12 Fed Banks help carry out the Fed’s bank supervision responsibilities, so the revolving door between Goldman Sachs and key Fed posts should alarm us. But it is also hard to see how the Fed’s recent selection of three Goldman Sachs bankers conforms with the Federal Reserve Act requirement that Fed leaders “represent the public,” with “due consideration” given to a variety of economic backgrounds and perspectives.

Still waiting for that balance sheet “taxpayer”…

Sadly The Nation’s concern strikes us as quaint, at best. They don’t like that the Fed system doesn’t spread the spoils of the system to the people they like. (The cronies they like.) This is the problem which plagues statist critics of the Fed. There is the tendency to want to believe that if the Fed was just run by the right people it would be a valuable tool for social engineering. They can’t bring themselves to call for an end to the bank, because a central bank is central to “progressive-statism.” And this is how the central banks always co-opt or simply dispose of their lefty critics.

Get real. End the Fed. Don’t be a wimp about it. Have some pride.

Who’s “they”?

Alright let’s clean this up. What’s a “cronie”? I’m trying to figure out what that mean to you. It has so many definitions. Well I’ll tell you mine. A crony is someone that tells you what’s going on with somebody else and using them as a crutch for not taking care of their own business.

What do you mean by that Diary?

I’ll tell ya. No one can end the Fed because “Americans” won’t allow it to die. How are they going to cash their checks every Friday? How are they going to apply for a credit card so they can get those “air miles” and “cash back” on certain purchases? How are they going to apply for that mortgage to be part of the “American Dream?” How are they going to write off certain interest payments and loans off their tax returns?

Pride? What pride? What’s so proud to blame another source on a financial decision you make? And on top of it, you need other Americans to agree with you? Would that make you feel special? Important? More “patriotic” to blame ole Goldman Sachs for your own financial woes? Oh, that corrupted government sachs stole taxpayers money? People are now broke, poor and eating mayonnaise sandwiches because of big old Goldman aye?

Now. American people. In unison, being angry with Goldman Sachs is so patriotic, it’s so patriotic to stress out over finances, and believe that you working hard at your job is patriotic, and paying your taxes is patriotic, and feeling angry when somebody else in D.C. spends “your money” on stupid stuff, ooooh doesn’t it make you so mad? Hey! Get angry you American! Did you know it’s patriotic to get a heart attack over some bullshit data, statistics and headlines CNN toss your way? It’s patriotic to be angry at wealthy people, greedy politicians and billion dollar corporations. Why wouldn’t it? You’re a taxpayer. Right?

I’m making fun of this because it boils down to be pissed off about something that you have to ask yourself; can I change this system tonight?

No, really ask yourself that question. Why are Americans so fucking angry? Angry about what? What the fuck are they so pissed about?

Is America the greatest country on planet Earth or is that a fucking typo people regurgitate blindly without knowing what the hell they’re even saying?

Why is America so goddamn angry?

I’ll tell you why.

America is a beautiful country with breathtaking natural resources. She is such a magnificent country, Mother Earth’s example of the treasures our planet can offer. And she utilizes one of the greatest real estate on Earth. Just ask the animals, which by the way I’ve never seen them angry at all.

Most of the American people however gives me hives. I’m allergic to almost everything they say, because MSM already convinced them that blaming others was the way to go.

Angry Americans angry about Mondays. And if they’re not angry about Mondays, they have to find something else to be angry about.

Are YOU part of that? What does it feel like? Just ask yourself that. What does it feel like to be angry with Obama, or Bush, or Monsanto, or ISIS, or Muslims, or any fucking body–how does that feel?

Why oh God help me why do YOU WANT TO STAY ANGRY?

What does that do to you? Who and where are you getting your sources from?

This article about Goldman Sachs isn’t the first. Goldman has been in the news for years. I didn’t trip over Goldman anymore because there was something I noticed that most conspiracy theorists did not….

Goldman was making money, and using players.

The complainers was the one who hated wealth.

I don’t know about you, but I love wealth. I love money. So, instead of agreeing with this article, I thought ‘since Goldman Sachs make a lot of money allegedly from taxpayers, why not buy some of their stocks?’

What? I can do that? People can buy stocks? Why didn’t I think about that before?

What? Mutual Funds invest in companies like Goldman Sachs? Why are retirees and taxpayers complaining about it? Don’t they have GS in their portfolio?

What was that? They don’t know? Why not? Because they leave that responsibility to the Mutual Fund manager? Well why don’t they see what companies they own? What? Oh because it’s a pain and they don’t have time for that? Oh…correction…they choose not to have time for that so instead of doing a little due-diligence on their MF portfolio they get angry over business deals based on what MSM tells them without verifying the source of the information? But why would they do that?

Because they just like being….angry?

Goldman Sachs is a business, and the American people are okay with that. Yes. Even most black people;

Obama was “allegedly” connected with, and campaign bankrolled by Goldman Sachs as well as Mitt Romney during the last election. Rather certain conspiracy sites was right about that or not, just the rumor was no concern regarding Obama supporters, they wanted their FIRST black President.

I’m surprised Goldman Sachs didn’t get a recognition for “change” from the NAACP–or was it?

Most people could careless about who Goldman is bankrolling, funding, “hiring”, and revolving door-ing, as long as people get their stuff Goldman can do what it does best.

Most people get upset with Goldman because they’re blaming America’s woes on everything except—–what’s going on in here…

Who lives in your mind? Why is it in there? Who put those thoughts in there? How did you even know anything about Goldman Sachs?

Forget about Goldman for a minute, and think about everything that’s happening in your mind, and if applicable your own household.

Did you know that when you allow what’s going on out there bother and affect how you run your finances and household, your home is no longer under your control? That means your home has experienced a silent invasion.

You are responsible of your mind. But when you lose it, and allow other to order you to feel a negative emotion towards something THEY invented, that never personally affected you, you just lost your freedom FROM responsibilities.

That’s equivalent of you living in a bad neighborhood in New York and tell your kids you’re leaving them alone to head out to California in order to fight for their freedom to not worry about burglars and hoodlums.

Think about that for a second. Long and hard.

Take control of your mind or someone else will be happy to control it for you. Start a business, make money. Take care of your family, and learn the game. Learn the game Goldman AND their buddies play. Then buy their stocks, while the other angry Americans start calling you a “crony capitalist”.

That’s including Goldman Sachs. 😉

Conspiracies…In Reverse Memes

Conspiracies…In Reverse Memes

What if there was a simple solution to ALL the conspiracy theories out there regarding every aspects from politics, religion to even money? The thing I find kind of funny is the conspiracies come at you like…

“Did you know that money is an IOU from the government paid to the private bankers and charge interest on it?!”

And that’s it. I’m like “Umm, okay? So, what do you wanna do?”

And instead of saying…”well, we should buy a bank!” They say “we need to get to the bottom of this so that we can feel miserable, yet special being right, and get more conspiracy kudos and some ‘Patriotic’ cookies!”

In other words, everything has to be pointed at instead of a mirror. Yes Michael Jackson, I hear you.

So what I want to present to you here is a few conspiracy memes and post while providing the most simple solution so powerful, it would change the course of the world…overnight. Guaranteed, or your insanity back!

Here’s how to New World Order!

Do you believe this?
Who controlled your hand to turn on the TV? Do you exercise your freedom of choice to be controlled?
Response: People love their shows, I need to buy stocks in these corporations! Reaction: Because the one-eyed devil made me do it!
Based on what you’ve been told about Mr. Marx and communism, what’s your independent thoughts on this?
Does ANYONE stop you from thinking? Or is it Rockefellers fault? Whatever agenda they had, were you its subject?

Education comes from the Latin ëducatio, which I highly recommend doing an independent research for yourself and come to your own conclusions if you wish. It really doesn’t matter what Rockefeller wanted in 1903, what is it that YOU want for your own education?

You know what I think is dumb? A society with the latest technology of the Internet at their fingertips, have the ability to research and study ANY topic related to ANYTHING from every corners of the planet and the universe. Yet, they choose to put their attention on certain topics. So, if it is true that this was Rockefeller’s wanting, then who’s doing it for him?

No one is stopping you from thinking. And blaming Karl Marx, Rockefeller, and every Tom Dick and historical Harry under the son for every God forsaken ills of society is the perfect recipe of a nation continuously going down the “Dumbing Down” bandwagon.

YOU ARE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR OWN DESTINY.

LET THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS TALK ABOUT THAT 😉

The Cult of Ignorance in the United States: Anti-intellectualism and the “dumbing down” of America

The Cult of Ignorance in the United States: Anti-intellectualism and the “dumbing down” of America

There is a growing and disturbing trend of anti-intellectual elitism in American culture. It’s the dismissal of science, the arts, and humanities and their replacement by entertainment, self-righteousness, ignorance, and deliberate gullibility.

Susan Jacoby, author of The Age of American Unreason, says in an article in the Washington Post, “Dumbness, to paraphrase the late senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, has been steadily defined downward for several decades, by a combination of heretofore irresistible forces. These include the triumph of video culture over print culture; a disjunction between Americans’ rising level of formal education and their shaky grasp of basic geography, science and history; and the fusion of anti-rationalism with anti-intellectualism.”

There has been a long tradition of anti-intellectualism in America, unlike most other Western countries. Richard Hofstadter, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964 for his book, Anti-Intellectualism In American Life, describes how the vast underlying foundations of anti-elite, anti-reason and anti-science have been infused into America’s political and social fabric. Famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once said:

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”Mark Bauerlein, in his book, The Dumbest Generation, reveals how a whole generation of youth is being dumbed down by their aversion to reading anything of substance and their addiction to digital “crap” via social media.

Journalist Charles Pierce, author of Idiot America, adds another perspective:

“The rise of idiot America today represents – for profit mainly, but also and more cynically, for political advantage in the pursuit of power – the breakdown of a consensus that the pursuit of knowledge is a good. It also represents the ascendancy of the notion that the people whom we should trust the least are the people who best know what they are talking about. In the new media age, everybody is an expert.””There’s a pervasive suspicion of rights, privileges, knowledge and specialization,” says Catherine Liu, the author of American Idyll: Academic Antielitism as Cultural Critique and a film and media studies professor at University of California. The very mission of universities has changed, argues Liu. “We don’t educate people anymore. We train them to get jobs.”

Part of the reason for the rising anti-intellectualism can be found in the declining state of education in the U.S. compared to other advanced countries:

  • After leading the world for decades in 25-34 year olds with university degrees, the U.S. is now in 12th place. The World Economic Forum ranked the U.S. at 52nd among 139 nations in the quality of its university math and science instruction in 2010. Nearly 50% of all graduate students in the sciences in the U.S. are foreigners, most of whom are returning to their home countries;
  • The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs commissioned a civic education poll among public school students. A surprising 77% didn’t know that George Washington was the first President*; couldn’t name Thomas Jefferson as the author of the Declaration of Independence; and only 2.8% of the students actually passed the citizenship test. Along similar lines, the (Goldwater Institute of Phoenix¹) did the same survey and only 3.5% of students passed the civics test;
  • According to the National Research Council¹ report, only 28% of high school science teachers consistently follow the National Research Council guidelines on teaching evolution, and 13% of those teachers explicitly advocate creationism or “intelligent design;”
  • 18% of Americans still believe that the sun revolves around the earth, according to a Gallup poll;
  • The American Association of State Colleges and Universities report on education shows that the U.S. ranks second among all nations in the proportion of the population aged 35-64 with a college degree, but 19th in the percentage of those aged 25-34 with an associate or high school diploma, which means that for the first time, the educational attainment of young people will be lower than their parents;
  • 74% of Republicans in the U.S. Senate and 53% in the House of Representatives deny the validity of climate change despite the findings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences¹ and every other significant scientific organization in the world;
  • According to the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress, 68% of public school children in the U.S. do not read proficiently by the time they finish third grade. And the U.S. News & World* reported that barely 50% of students are ready for college level reading when they graduate;
  • According to a 2006 survey by National Geographic-Roper¹, nearly half of Americans between ages 18 and 24 do not think it necessary to know the location of other countries in which important news is being made. More than a third consider it “not at all important” to know a foreign language, and only 14 percent consider it “very important;”
  • According to the National Endowment for the Arts¹ report in 1982, 82% of college graduates read novels or poems for pleasure; two decades later only 67% did. And more than 40% of Americans under 44 did not read a single book–fiction or nonfiction–over the course of a year. The proportion of 17 year olds who read nothing (unless required by school ) has doubled between 1984-2004;
  • Gallup released a poll indicating 42 percent of Americans still believe God created human beings in their present form less than 10,000 years ago*;
  • A 2008 University of Texas study found that 25 percent of public school biology teachers believe that humans and dinosaurs inhabited the earth simultaneously.

I do have to say that from my own personal observation there’s a big difference between a “belief” and facts. For example; the different between evolution and creation is a belief, for none of us were there to see the phenomenon of human existence from the start. Most studies to determine is based on “theory” correct? Same thing with religion; the question of creation of an unseen force creating Adam to form humanity is based merely on theory. Correct?

When there’s emotions connected to theory (information not yet proven but hypothesized) it creates a belief. But that doesn’t make it true. What’s true is climate change (the climate around you being hot during summer months and cold during winter months). You feel climate change around you every year. Is that facts?

The climate (used to be called global warming but changed branding) debate changed for millions (if not billions) of years since the “big bang” or Adam and Eve theory, based on hypotheses because no human being living today actually saw it happened, and therefore know what they saw which makes it facts.

In other words; facts are not debatable because its finite. 1+1=2 is UN-debateable because it’s finite. Every human being even find it silly to debate why 1+1 equates to two, just like drinking water when you’re thirsty no matter what “theory” people believe in. Yes?

Now here’s where I find interesting. Everyone have theory on ideal of “intelligence”. I believe what’s NOT intelligent is taking what you’ve heard (rather from scientists or the clergy) and run with it. Then, argue in defense of what you’ve been told. Then question why they believe what they’re telling you, and challenge where they got the information from and why they believe in that data. Just because you disagree with the so-call “educated” training of determining what’s “fact” and what’s fiction doesn’t make you “dumb down”–unless you agree with it.

However, I do agree with the whole “social media” frenzy. It’s given people the freedom to express their regurgitation of spilling out what someone else told them, and agreeing with what’s easy to agree with–what they already “believe” in.

In American schools, the culture exalts the athlete and good-looking cheerleader. Well-educated and intellectual students are commonly referred to in public schools and the media as “nerds,” “dweebs,” “dorks,” and “geeks,” and are relentlessly harassed and even assaulted by the more popular “jocks” for openly displaying any intellect. These anti-intellectual attitudes are not reflected in students in most European or Asian countries, whose educational levels have now equaled and and will surpass that of the U.S. And most TV shows or movies such as The Big Bang Theory depict intellectuals as being geeks if not effeminate.

What’s this, Dawson’s Creek? “dweeb” and “dorks”.

I’m wondering if this only happen in public schools…

John W. Traphagan, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Texas, argues the problem is that Asian countries have core cultural values that are more akin to a cult of intelligence and education than a cult of ignorance and anti-intellectualism. In Japan, for example, teachers are held in high esteem and normally viewed as among the most important members of a community. There is suspicion and even disdain for the work of teachers that occurs in the U.S. Teachers in Japan typically are paid significantly more than their peers in the U.S. The profession of teaching is one that is seen as being of central value in Japanese society and those who choose that profession are well compensated in terms of salary, pension, and respect for their knowledge and their efforts on behalf of children.

For someone who attended public schools growing up I’m going to throw my two cents in this as well. For some reason I’m smelling a personal and emotional intention regarding the comparison between Japanese teachers apart from U.S. teachers.

I’m not familiar with Japanese teachers’ attitude towards education, and I haven’t asked each and every Japanese teacher their feelings towards their pay and attitude of American teachers either. However from my own personal experience I’ve had teachers who could careless of teaching you anything except the propaganda bought and paid for by the standardize “one-size-fits-all” curriculum. I challenged my teachers’ lessons because I asked questions, and I got “bad grades” on my tests because I refused to go along with the program…and agree that Christopher Columbus “founded the Americas”.

I can say that teachers pay usually has nothing to do with the quality of education they administer to the student, if they’re not feeling their “profession”.

In other words; based on my experience of why public schools are the way they are regarding some of their teachers has something to do with why the American public school system was created in the first place. Regardless of teachers’ pay.

And, word on the street has it that teachers in most private schools provide a more quality education to their students than their public school counterparts–which justifies their higher salary and pay compared to their public school counterparts. But that was just rumors.

I experienced that in person with my own life. But, I do understand that each person have their own perception based on their own personal experience. Would that be considered “facts?”

In addition, we do not see in Japan significant numbers of the types of religious schools that are designed to shield children from knowledge about basic tenets of science and accepted understandings of history – such as evolutionary theory or the religious views of the Founding Fathers, who were largely deists – which are essential to having a fundamental understanding of the world, Traphagan contends. The reason for this is because in general Japanese value education, value the work of intellectuals, and see a well-educated public with a basic common knowledge in areas of scientific fact, math, history, literature, etc. as being an essential foundation to a successful democracy.

Nothing against my hometown, but I can relate based on my personal experience. I grew up in the heart of the Bible Belt and I know what its like to be introduced to “evolution” and having the religious fanatics “rebuking” our school for even thinking about introducing us to an alternative contrast regarding existence. Science was seen as “evil” in my neck of the woods, so a lot of kids transferred their intellects with the fear of hell if they ever thought about questioning the Biblical version of existence.

Again, never been to Japan, but I do believe science and math was, and is the key component in expressing real intellect with the self and in society.

We’re creating a world of dummies. Angry dummies who feel they have the right, the authority and the need not only to comment on everything, but to make sure their voice is heard above the rest, and to drag down any opposing views through personal attacks, loud repetition and confrontation.

I noticed this awhile back and I really had to separate myself from it. I found out that there was a deeper reason for this. Explaining it is a whole other topic dedicated only to the topic but for right now, when I saw this, I decided to turn the TV off.

The word “dummy” means something differently to me. I keep thinking about the Crash Test Dummies back in the 90s regarding the “Buckle Your Safety Belts” campaign from the Ad Counsel, and from Fred G. Sanford from Sanford and Sons calling everyone he had a fight with a “dummy”. It was funny, and it was meant to be funny, therefore I’d rather keep the word “dummy” that way, not from some social engineering tactic of pansies who’s been used to “act like” they’re just dumb.

Oh, and the “G” stands for; Get a life… 😉

Bill Keller, writing in the New York Times argues that the anti-intellectual elitism is not an elitism of wisdom, education, experience or knowledge. The new elite are the angry social media posters, those who can shout loudest and more often, a clique of bullies and malcontents baying together like dogs cornering a fox. Too often it’s a combined elite of the anti-intellectuals and the conspiracy followers – not those who can voice the most cogent, most coherent response. Together they foment a rabid culture of anti-rationalism where every fact is suspect; every shadow holds a secret conspiracy. Rational thought is the enemy. Critical thinking is the devil’s tool.

Want to hear the MOST controversial thing I can say on this?

There’s no such thing as “the devil” because the so-call devil I was indoctrinated to believe exist I never met in person. But I did meet the devil, and it was a surreal meeting.

With that being said; I actually agree with the whole “anti-intellectual” orgies that goes on in social media. Based on the experience of seeing the “rabid” attacks of those who throw counter questions all the time. The only issue with that is, even if you do present an intellectual argument to the masses of “dummies”, who’ve never asked for the intellect in the first place.

In other words; social media wasn’t created to express intellectual knowledge with each other. It was created to expose the “rabid culture of anti-rationalism” to those who do practice intellectualism in order to capitalize off the conspiracy followers and “dummies”.

Keller also notes that the herd mentality takes over online; the anti-intellectuals become the metaphorical equivalent of an angry lynch mob when anyone either challenges one of the mob beliefs or posts anything outside the mob’s self-limiting set of values.

Well thank God they don’t know your real name or where you live ;-P

Keller blames this in part to the online universe that “skews young, educated and attentive to fashions.” Fashion, entertainment, spectacle, voyeurism – we’re directed towards trivia, towards the inconsequential, towards unquestioning and blatant consumerism. This results in intellectual complacency. People accept without questioning, believe without weighing the choices, join the pack because in a culture where convenience rules, real individualism is too hard work. Thinking takes too much time: it gets in the way of the immediacy of the online experience.

Reality TV and pop culture presented in magazines and online sites claim to provide useful information about the importance of The Housewives of [you name the city] that can somehow enrich our lives. After all, how else can one explain the insipid and pointless stories that tout divorces, cheating and weight gain? How else can we explain how the Kardashians, or Paris Hilton are known for being famous without actually contributing anything worth discussion? The artificial events of their lives become the mainstay of populist media to distract people from the real issues and concerns facing us.

What’s worth discussing? If someone wants to discuss entertainment, celebrities and “Real Housewives”, LET THEM. What does that have anything to do with you?

Talking to you, the reader. Yeah you…

What does anything people talk about have anything to do with YOU personally? Individually?

I think the Kardashians and Paris Hilton are contributing to something worth discussing, or people wouldn’t be buying their products and brand, and this article wouldn’t have mentioned them in the first place.

They’re renting space in the minds of millions and raking millions on top of it. I’d say it looks like they’re contributing something worth discussing or media wouldn’t bother talking about them either.

The question is what do they have to do with you? If nothing, why even contribute to them by mentioning them and blaming THEM for the intellectual woes of the dummies? The dummies are the one that exercise their freedom to believe every bullshit thrown at them, buy the bullshit, consume the bullshit, and regurgitate the bullshit. Let them.

What does that have ANYTHING to do with you?

The current trend of increasing anti-intellectualism now establishing itself in politics and business leadership, and supported by a declining education system should be a cause for concern for leaders and the general population, one that needs to be addressed now.

This “issue” isn’t an alarm. There is no issue unless you “believe” there’s an issue. It doesn’t require or take an “us”, or “them”. It’s not a concern of any “leader” or general population.

Issues are also within the minds of the beholder. The issues are issues when it’s entertained from the minds of those who believe there’s an issue.

Those who don’t exercise “intellects” and spew their conspiracies on social media isn’t the issue, and never was. Nor is it the lack of quality education in the public school system, or the pay scale of the teachers an issue.

In other words; there is NEVER an issue of anyone choosing to freely express their lack or refusal of recognizing or respecting the intelligent thought and challenging opinions of what people believe are facts on social media, and what they consume through the media. You, and every human being face constant information of ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and biased “facts” that was told and created from the original source who had an agenda and desired to influence your feelings, emotions and thoughts towards that information and data.

I mentioned earlier that one of the only irrefutable facts in existence today is 1+1 being 2, no matter who feels a certain way about. I don’t have to tell you that 2 is the answer, try it for yourself. But it is challenging to prove to you that everyone in social media are “dummies”.

The bottom line of this entire article is this; are you angry or “frustrated” that others outside of yourself think differently than you, and therefore affect you personally in one way or another?

If it does, then their so-call “facts” are then yours, and it’s okay to demand feeling angry towards certain thought patterns the article doesn’t agree with.

If it does not, then you control your own destiny regardless of how insane the world becomes—based on your definition of “insane”.

*Always question history for your own personal reference if desired.
