Peaceful Solutions for Impossible Problems:

3 Comments

I know it may sound crazy to you, but I don’t believe it necessarily takes a “real” economist to fix our financial problems. In fact, my philosophy is that the economy needs to be simplified drastically… because when the layperson no longer understands what is going on with the economy, they are also unable to act as a watchdog upon it. This in turn leaves the door open for rampant corruption and manipulation by the small group of insiders that actually do understand how the system works… because unfortunately for the rest of us, there seems to be a tendency for them to use their “insider knowledge,” absurdly complicated mathematics, and carefully worded legal language against us for their own selfish interests instead…

So as most of you are aware, we are in major financial mess… And since it should be obvious by now that our media and politicians don’t have a clue, I guess it doesn’t hurt to have some “outside the box” solutions. But I also have to warn you…

I am not an economist, I am just a guy with common sense, critical-thinking skills, and a well developed BS detector. And since the phony, bought-and-paid for mainstream media is never going to give you any actual solutions, then I guess it’s time for me to step up again and try to handle this mess myself:

First off, no matter what these TV clowns are saying between the seemingly endless pharmaceutical ads and car insurance commercials, let’s be clear: it is mathematically impossible to ever pay off this debt.

Speaking of which, did you know that the debt we owe goes directly to a private bank? Yes, the Federal Reserve Bank is almost entirely private. That means it has absolutely NOTHING to do with our Federal government. So with that in mind, it kind of makes you wonder things like; so do we really owe them this money? And why is a private bank in charge of our economy anyway?

And why are these filthy rich aristocrats like Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson, Timmy Geithner, and Alan Greenspan living like kings while telling us everything is fine even though every financial indicator seems to be telling us the opposite?

Does this make sense to anyone else? Not only are they living like kings among us serfs already… according to the mathematics of the debt, we haven’t even scratched the surface of what we still owe them! Now even though it’s not quite that simple, the point is; how absurd does this mathematical nightmare have to get before you finally decide to take action?

But this speech isn’t about class warfare. After all, there are many other people that are also responsible for this mess; and many of them see those people everyday in their own mirror. However, I’m also not here to insult the gullible, naïve, and uninformed either. After all, despite the fact that I can be perceived as condescending at times; I also used to be gullible, naïve, and uninformed.

So how to we fix the economy then? Let me ask you a question: Is there a shortage of resources? Is there food in the grocery stores? Is there gasoline in the pumps? Yes. So let me ask you; why are we about to live in indefinite austerity even though we already have resources available? I’ll explain…

Whether you want to refer to this racket as crony-capitalism, crony-collectivism, socialism, fascism, globalism, or neo-feudalism; our economy has been destroyed by corruption. In this specific resource example I mentioned, it’s a phenomenon known as “artificial scarcity.” The resources are still there, you just can’t “afford” them anymore.

Here’s another example of how wasteful our economy is; not only does your dollar not buy as much as it used to, did you notice that everything also costs more now too? Quantitative “easing?” They should call it “quantitative squeezing,” because the Federal Reserve has really mastered the art of squeezing our dollar from both ends.

I hate to give bad news, but the truth is that corruption and greed have destroyed our economic system. And these people aren’t going to tell you the truth and it’s for a childishly simple reason; they don’t want to lose their wealth and power.

So what do we do?

First we need to acknowledge how bad the corruption has gotten, and accept the fact that it’s impossible to fix the system within its current framework.

You also have to understand history…. In fact our country actually shares many eerie parallels to Ancient Rome; one of which is the invasion of barbarians… only these are modern times; so instead of an obvious head on attack by barbarian hordes… we’ve been invaded by ingenious and calculated stealth. And instead of barbarians, we’ve been invaded by bankers.

But regardless of whether this mess was caused by design or not, we have to admit that the system is a failure and its complexity and confusion has led to rampant manipulation and corruption. Fact: this is a failed system and it’s time to move on. Do you want to see your grand-kids in poverty or having to work 3 jobs while Ben Bernanke’s spoiled rotten grandchildren are living like gods? Either do I….

Look, no one wants the economy to fall apart in their lifetime, but it’s not going to last forever. The stock market isn’t going to last forever. We don’t need this corrupt, manipulated, white-collar criminal casino having this kind of power over our prosperity. In my opinion, the world will be a better place when once we’ve turned the New York Stock Exchange into the New York Stock Exchange Museum.

It’s really sad that they are making such a big deal about our credit rating, but it shows you just how embarrassingly corrupt our economic system has become.

And believe me, the fact that we are still “AA+” is still a ridiculous joke. Funny, Warren Buffett was recently quoted as saying that he thought our debt should be rated “quadruple A” which was also parroted in a recent Obama speech. Quadruple A? I can’t believe both of these guys said that with a straight face. Who knew these guys had such an incredible sense of humor?

So what should our credit rating really be? Here, let me illustrate why our credit rating is a joke from an “outside the box” perspective: hypothetically speaking; if you were an investor from another planet and you stumbled upon earth and spent a week on Wall Street, would you really want to invest in our bonds? Of course not! So what would you rate them? Let’s face reality: they’re JUNK!

Of course they aren’t ready to admit they are junk, and I can’t say I completely blame them. After all, a spontaneous default would obviously send economic shock waves and possible panic all over the globe. I mean the dollar is still the world’s reserve currency… however; we can’t keep this hoax of an economy propped up forever, so how do we fix it?

I’m sure most of you had the chance to see just how incompetent our politicians really are… I mean John Boehner? Nancy Pelosi? Mitch McConnell? Does anyone else feel convinced that any of these clowns are actually going to fix anything? Of course not… they’re just going to point the fingers at somebody else and just keep pushing the problem into the future.

So since these incompetent weasels have no solutions, the latest idea lies in the creation of a diabolical super oligarchy of 13? I’m sorry, super congress? Really? And in the odd chance that this really became necessary, shouldn’t the people get to pick the 12? And if there wasn’t enough time for a vote, shouldn’t they be selected by the highest approval rating? Or would that make too much sense? I mean we wouldn’t want to risk having a situation where 12 of the country’s most unpopular aristocrats were selected to be in charge of something this important, would we? That would just be silly… what do you think this is, a Dystopia? That could never happen in real life!

But seriously, if anyone thinks these corrupted incompetents are going to solve our financial problems than I’m sorry to inform you that you’re probably not going to get a solution you are going to be excited about. In fact it’s most likely going to end up with you under hopeless and overwhelming amounts of debt while these corrupt, multimillionaire con-men live like kings and tell you that everything is fine; “corporations are people” and write laws to legally protect themselves from all the nefarious rackets they’ve created.

Another possibility is that we will go into the dreaded one-world currency that will be run by the very same people that are responsible for this mess to begin with. Knowing them, I’m sure they will make that sound like the most amazing idea ever, but the reality is; it will only be a different version of what we have now: an overly confusing and fraudulent system designed to benefit the small cabal of insiders that actually understand how it works.

We need transparency and common-sense economics, not multi-million dollar bankers, lawyers, and politicians running the system. The economy should empower the people, not enslave them.

And speaking of Warren Buffett; now he’s trying to suggest we should raise taxes on the rich…. A noble gesture… however, that’s probably not going to happen, but even if it does, let’s be honest; it’s not going to magically fix anything, and there’s no mathematical or scientific way to prove it will… which leads me to my next point:

Our economic system needs to be simplified drastically if the general public is ever going to have a hope of understanding it; and with that being said, I think it should be quite obvious by now that Keynesian economics should be purged from our society for the greater good of the future.

Speaking of the Keynesian economics, did anyone hear what Paul Krugman said recently about an alien invasion?

Yes, this economic clown just got on TV saying we could benefit economically if we experienced an alien invasion! But hold on, I’m not making fun of him for the analogy; my concern is what he’s getting at; the analogy is just a clever way of saying what he really means; that we need another major war to jump-start our failing economy. No Paul, we don’t need any more wars or any more money being printed…. and I for one have had about enough of your ridiculous economic gibberish.

But you’re out there asking: who are you to discuss economics with an expert like Paul Krugman if you’re not actually an economist?

Funny you should ask, because it’s quite simple really…first, we assume that he is considered to be one of the premier masters of Keynesian economics. Secondly, we observe over many years that not only is our economic system incredibly corrupt, wasteful, and excruciatingly overcomplicated; if you follow Paul Krugman carefully, you’ll notice that he doesn’t seem to really have any understanding of how the economy works either!

And if the Keynesian grand master doesn’t have a clue how his own economic system works, than what hope do I have to understand it?

But wait, it gets better! The economy has now spiraled so far out of control, that the grand master is now indirectly calling for war as a desperate measure to keep the system afloat? Are you kidding me? And aren’t we in like six wars already? Do what you want to yourself Paul, but leave the innocent people of the present and future alone!

So look, it doesn’t take six wars or six years of school to see why this economic system needs to be scrapped. All it takes is simple common sense…

Face it Paul, you aren’t going to salvage this financial mess, nor can you continue to justify this failed system anymore. Nothing personal… You had a good run, you had a great career, and hey, you even won a Nobel Prize! But now it’s time to step down.

Keynesian economics is deeply flawed, overly complicated, wasteful, too susceptible to corruption, and completely unsustainable. Face it Keynesians; I’m sorry you’ve wasted so much time absorbing what will someday be looked upon as useless knowledge, but you have to admit that the future will thank you for letting it go…

So we have a Keynesian economics system, fractional-reserve banking, fiat currency, and a private bank that seems to have its tentacles in everything? Run and overseen by a bunch of spoiled aristocrats? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but here’s the reality: corruption, greed, and over-complication have ruined our financial system beyond repair, and the Warren Buffetts and Paul Krugmans of the world know it. They had an amazing run, but now they are quickly starting to resemble dinosaurs from another era. They desperately want to keep the system going, but they are going to have to face the fact that this system is broken, completely unsustainable, and hopelessly beyond repair. And almost everything that comes out of their mouths these days is nothing more than desperate attempts to keep the system going.

Now although Warren may appear to be one of the humbler elites, it shouldn’t take too much imagination by now to see what’s really going on: The rich and powerful want to stay rich and powerful….

Okay, identifying the corruption problem wasn’t so difficult. However there’s another problem that’s going to be a bit more complex to deal with:

You see, as the fraud becomes more exposed, the perpetrators, manipulators, and many of the benefactors are going to be looking at some serious punishment along the likes of Bernie Madoff or worse. So what are these elites going to do when they’re not only in danger of losing everything they’ve “earned,” over the years, but they’re also potentially looking at 20 to life or worse?

Good question, so let me ask you: what would you do if you were them, and you were looking at losing your posh lifestyle, all your toys, and then looking at losing all your freedom by facing indefinite jail-time? Right: you would lie, lie, and lie some more….

Face it: these filthy-rich bankers and Wall Street fat-cats aren’t just going to admit the fraud, throw away their lavish lifestyle and just turn themselves in… I mean would you?

And who’s going to arrest these bankers anyway, Eric Holder? You mean the guy with his fingerprints all over Operation Fast and Furious? Gee, no corruption going on there at all… so since Eric can’t be trusted… who else can we go to? How about that hideous troll creature that’s always wearing those ugly Christmas sweaters…you know… the grinch that stole freedom… oh yeah Janet Napolitano! Hey Janet, I know where the real terrorists are! And many of them are actually operating right out of Wall Street and Washington!

Okay, so now that more problems have been identified; how are we going to fix this giant mess when it seems like the entire system has been corrupted?

Well I can’t just wave a magic wand and magically solve everything, but I can offer some clarity and suggestions:

First of all, there’s no reason for panic. You see, the good news about this financial crisis is that in the real case of an economic collapse, we DON’T actually need “money” to make the world go round, and it’s a very simple concept reminiscent of well… does anyone still remember the honor system?

As a short term emergency solution, we can all continue to do what we were doing. Go to your job, get a few groceries. Do everything you would normally do, except no money would actually be exchanged.

Don’t abuse the system and use common sense. In the meanwhile, stay calm, inform others, get mentally prepared, and we can avoid unnecessary chaos.

As a long term economic solution, I think we should have a series of live televised debates between all the top economists representing all the different schools of thought: back to a gold standard? A silver standard? Resource based? How about an interest-free fiat currency issued by congress instead of a private bank? Or perhaps the great Keynesian revival? Good god I hope not, but if people like Krugman and Austan Goolsbee want to show up and get ridiculed, they are more than welcome.

Anyway, we let the top minds debate on national television, then over time, maybe we can start voting them off or something until we arrive at an economic system that makes the most sense. Sounds like a “Sputnik moment” to me, but if you would rather be at the mercy of the super congress… then good luck!

Okay, so we’ve covered the wastefulness of our current system of crony-collectivism… but if we re-start the economy, what are we going to do about China and the other countries that are holding our debt?

Good question… so let me ask you; if you were a debt-holder, and the country that owed you money was on the verge of default, what would you want in return?

A: Stacks of soon-to-be-worthless green paper?

B: More treasury bonds? Or

C: a steady flow of tangible imports?

The point is: just because we might have to restart our economy doesn’t mean we can’t still honor our debts. And if we need to start growing more food and manufacturing more goods to our debt-holders, then we will probably have to open up our factories again! Now we can put America back to work with an efficient and transparent resource based economy… hey Obama, how’s that for a Sputnik moment?

And to the debt-holders of the world: I apologize for the behavior of the monsters responsible for the orchestration of all these financial problems, but please don’t blame the innocent American people because we were also fooled by these same financial sellouts.

Now I could start rattling off some of the people I think are responsible; let’s see… there’s Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Henry Kissinger… I could go on, but I just realized something… I don’t consider these men to be Americans anyway! They don’t have any loyalty to us; they are traitors and economic terrorists!

Which brings me back to one of the most difficult questions of all: Once we identify all of those truly responsible, what are we going to do with them? This is where it gets complicated:

Like I’ve said, you can forget about Eric Holder or Janet Napolitano bringing their masters to justice, and just because I’m making some accusations doesn’t prove that any of them are 100% guilty. After all, this is America, and everyone deserves a fair trial.

Besides, maybe these bankers and ultra-rich elites are really moral people, and this broken economy was all just done by design to teach us all of us serfs a valuable financial lesson? You know; a lesson of why you shouldn’t trust private banks that create money out of nothing because they will eventually rob all of the wealth and decimate the country. I mean maybe they were planning on giving us all of our wealth back as part of a surprise later, and now I’m the guy who had to open his mouth and ruin the party for everybody…

Now that scenario probably isn’t going to happen, and unfortunately, I don’t know who’s going to make all these apprehensions for questioning. I do however have a creative solution for what to with them assuming they are found guilty…

Now my solution involves mercy, but don’t get me wrong. There’s a part of me that would love to be there when all these corrupt bankers, politicians, moguls, and Wall-Street manipulators get dragged out of their mansions in handcuffs and get stuffed into police cars.

However, these people aren’t just going to go quietly without a fight. These are powerful people with powerful connections and when faced with losing everything and spending the rest of their lives in jail or worse… well let’s just say they could do any number of desperate things to protect themselves from us so we’re going to have to be smart about this.

There are a lot of people out there that seem to have a disturbing fascination with punishment, but maybe it’s time to start re-thinking this concept; I mean does it look like our prison system is doing a good job of rehabilitation?

The point is, there are probably a lot of people out there who are thinking that we’re just going to simply arrest these people and then throw them into violent prisons where they will be punished every day, but that’s just not realistic… and if you were them, and you were facing that kind of future, what would you do?

And that’s another key point I want to make: the concept of empathy. For example: if you were born into a powerful banking family, do you want to convince me that you would not have followed in their footsteps, and that you would have been the whistle-blower that brought down your own family for the good of the world? I mean JFK and Princess Diana are a couple of exceptions, but the reality is, most people would have gotten stuck in the family business too, so it’s hard for me to honestly pass judgment on them without making myself a hypocrite.

So yes, I believe in mercy. I also believe that if we harshly punish them, then we may also sink to their level. We’re supposed to be better than them after all, so maybe we should prove it…?

So what should we do instead? Here’s the fun part: we create a controlled environment for them which will keep them isolated from us, but instead of constant hellish punishment, there will be much more fun and limited freedom…

Sound crazy? Let me explain; A while ago I wrote an article about North Korea where I suggested that we could design a prison for the elites that would combine Bohemian Grove with the movie; The Truman Show.

I know it sounds like a reward, but I guess my philosophy is that I really don’t care if they have an arcade, a sports bar, a golf course whatever… just as long as they stay away from us, and stop playing god with us and our children.

The basic idea is that we will use their own control grid against them; RFID chips, cameras everywhere, spy satellites etc, and like the Truman Show, maybe we can make them stars in their own reality TV show! Who’s watching the criminals? You are! Hey, did you see last night’s episode when Karl Rove and Dick Cheney were having an argument with Al Gore? OMG!

Now this high-tech prison may take some time to build, but it is a plausible peaceful solution. If we are willing to get creative and outside-the-box, there are ways to fix our world’s problems without destroying our civilization in the process…

Okay, well there you have it; a peaceful solution for some of the world’s most impossible problems, you’re welcome. 😉

Peace and Love!

The Police State Recognizance Challenge Part 3:

Leave a comment

I don’t have time to write a full article for this, so I’ll get right to the point: Does the following video resemble the America you knew growing up? Or does it look like something went terribly wrong instead?

And if you missed the first two challenges, I will link to them here (#1) and here (#2).

Okay, on to the video…

By the way, I want to emphasize that I’m not sharing this video with any intention of using it to demonize law enforcement. After all, I got the sense that at least some of the officers in this video were embarrassed and ashamed of what they were forced to do. Besides, what can one reasonably expect them to do? Be the hero that disobeys their orders and throws their career away over a lemonade stand? Hopefully they at least thought about it, but perhaps decided that the cause just wasn’t important enough.

However, I can’t speak for all of the officers since it appeared that some of them were enjoying themselves a little too much… that woman’s behavior specifically should give everyone the chills. Does it make you feel better knowing there are officers like that who mindlessly follow orders and abuse their authority no matter how absurd it looks? Nah, me neither… hey lady, don’t forget who you are supposed to be working for… and that’s we the people!

We are truly living in some crazy times… I’m just glad someone got this on video because I never would have believed this story without it!

Going Jedi Against Fox News?

7 Comments

As you may have noticed, Fox News has been under attack a lot lately so I’ve decided to keep the momentum going. Fox, I swear I’m only doing two hit pieces in a row on you because it appears that you are “on the ropes,” and that there is no bias. However, since I am a former democrat, I am willing to admit that I have been experiencing an extra bit of glee in creating these last two projects 🙂

Warning: Video is for educational purposes only! 😉

Going Yoda on Bill O’Reilly, I mean Count Dooku… whatever.

Critical thinking question of the day: Is this old footage from professional wrestling? Or is it actually an old episode of the Hannity show? I seem to be having trouble, can you tell the difference?

Why I can’t really bring myself to dislike Tucker Carlson:

The interview with professor Jim Fetzer: (Note: The person who uploaded this video and many of the comments actually lean toward O’Reilly being “right” in this debate because of the lack of so-called “liberal media” exposure. Hey guys; don’t be fooled by Count Dooku and his dark-side propaganda tricks! Right versus left is meaningless when both sides are wrong! Get it? There is only right versus wrong… look behind the curtain!

Proof that the major publications are controlled:

Exhibit A: Straight from the mind of David Rockefeller:
Exhibit B: What is Operation Mockingbird?
Exhibit C: George Carlin, critical thinking, and common sense:

Why do some people consider Bill to be an arrogant lying jerk-off sellout who works for the establishment? You have to see this video to believe it:

More excitement with Bill and his non-debatable government “facts” (hey, at least he’s controversial):

More bonus videos:

1. Bill O’Reilly in his own words; “I Don’t Care About The Constitution:”
2. Apparently Bill doesn’t like talking about Bohemian Grove either…
3. Why you should not believe Cheney, Rumsfeld, or Rove about 9/11 (or really anything they say for that matter):
4. The blog I referred to in my video: Jesse Ventura, the Pentagon, and 2.3 Trillion Reasons why we should have a new investigation into 9/11 (just to at least check out the highlights):

The other side of the argument? It’s extremely compelling so be sure to listen very carefully:

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Peace and Love!

Bilderberg 2011: Better Late than Never…

Leave a comment

First off, I want to thank Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar for indirectly encouraging me to get into video, and please check out my last blog about the censorship controversy for the details.

I say thanks because I think this medium will allow me to be able to cover more issues since it can be very time consuming to write… and when I don’t have time to write and get my opinion out, I tend to get stressed and frustrated.

Case in point on missing one of the biggest news stories of the year a couple of weeks ago with the Bilderberg meeting:

Who and what are the Bilderberg’s? I think the best way to describe them was done by George Carlin, so I’ll let him explain it while I still have the freedom to embed YouTube videos:

I suppose I should warn that there is some explicit language, so I do apologize to all the squares out there… but who ever said that knowledge has to be politically correct?

George Carlin… prophet?

So who are the “owners” that George is referring to?

Well many of them were actually in Switzerland recently, but you probably didn’t hear about it on the mainstream news. I’ll try to explain:

Remember, video is for educational purposes only! 😉

Bilderberg 2011: The Master Page:

What do the elites (possibly) have planned for your future that the controlled, bought and paid for corporate media isn’t informing you about? Something to keep in mind: I’d rather be called a sincere alarmist than have to say something awful in the future like; “those poor gullible bastards… if only I could have done more to warn them…”

The Mark Dice videos:

The full version:

Anyway, sorry I was late to the party again, but how could I live with myself without getting my two cents in on Bilderberg? Don’t blame me, late or not, I’m just trying to help fill the void the corporate media left behind… besides, how could I let George down?

Bonus clip: Go to 8:35 of the video. Great little recent and somewhat related clip from Jon Stewart with possibly the best political cartoon ever.

Peace and Love!

Hello, and welcome to my first “vlog!”

Here are a couple of articles to check out about the bill I’m discussing:

exhibit A: from TechDirt:

Exhibit B: From Infowars:

Clicking this sentence will lead you to an activist website that gives you a quick and simple way to take an effective action against this bill:

Here are videos of Al on the subjects of free speech and net neutrality… Really? Are these “embedded” YouTube videos about to become illegal?

Another embed that could get me 5 years of prison?

I was going to make a list of some of my favorite blogs/teaching tools, but since many of them are already sitting there amongst my recent posts, I’ve decided not to bother. I will however single out an older one that I’m very proud of where Jon Stewart, Jesse Ventura, and I gang up on greedy oil tycoon; T. Boone Pickens.

That’s it, my first vlog! To be continued?

The Police State Recognizance Challenge Part II:

Leave a comment

Not too long ago I wrote a post designed to challenge the reader’s critical thinking regarding the recognition of a police state. Specifically, I wrote; “…according to many conspiracy theorists, America has been turning into a worsening police state. They also might argue that it happens so gradually that the average person might not notice. Now if that logic holds true and they are correct, and most roads (potential futures) are leaning toward a police state; at what point would the average person actually recognize it for what it is?”

Well today I’m going to expand on that introduction a little by saying that some researchers believe that it would be more accurate to say that we are actually living in a police state right now! Think about it, would the government actually call itself a police state? Or is it more likely that they would disguise the term under confusing and Orwellian double-speak language instead?

16 reasons why it could be argued that we live under a tyranny right now:

10 indications that the United States is a dictatorship:

4 more years of the Patriot Act even though the vast majority of the public are against it?

Okay, now that you’ve been brought up to speed, it’s now time to show you the latest viral video:

Critical thinking time!

First question: do you have an American bias? Honestly, how much different would this video look to you if it were filmed in another country? Would your perception change? Would you be less surprised?

Second question: since it’s Thomas Jefferson’s memorial; I’m curious, what do you think Thomas Jefferson would say about this event if he could give his opinion?

Third question: Here’s a curve ball, what do you think Martin Luther King would say? Odd question you ask? This video will explain:

Now it’s time to jump across the pond with one of everyone’s favorite activists to show us the latest police state absurdity in Britain:

Way to go Adam and Danny!

Speaking of which; for all of you in the D.C. area, please listen up: In case you missed the latest news (can be found at 1:38 of the MLK video), there will be another peaceful protest at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial this Saturday, June 4th 2011. Stay up to date by clicking this hyperlink leading to Adam’s website:

Bonus police state fun: I hope I’m not showing my age, but before mindless television trash like Jersey Shore existed; I remember a time when there were shows geared towards younger audiences that actually helped make them think and become more intelligent! Seriously!

Remember when I discussed “potential futures,” from my introduction? Well now I can show you an example; does anyone remember the show Sliders?

Here, maybe this will refresh your memory:

Anyway, the point I want to make is how our current reality is ironically starting to resemble one of the negative parallel realities that used to be displayed on the show! In fact, I will show you a rather alarming example: By the way, this show is also available to all of you that have access to instant Netflix as well…

Now to be fair, I realize that this is going to be way too long and a bit “dorky,” for many, so I’m going to make this easy by simply pointing out two quick clips to show you:

20:00-23:00 this is usually the part where I give a synopsis of the scene…
42:50-43:50 but I decided to keep it spoiler free for a change.

One last conspiracy curve ball: Is it possible that this show was part of an experiment known as “predictive programming?”

*Update: Unfortunately, a few concerns have recently been brought to my attention:

First, the video I wanted to link to is on Hulu dot com, so not only can I not post the video here, it’s possible that I might not even be able to link to it. Apparently, since the alternative media has been kicking so much ass lately, the establishment has decided that the only way they can fight back is by introducing tyrannical new laws designed to shut us down. You really have to see this article to believe it:

The other piece of bad news is that I’ve also been informed that Hulu might not be available in many areas outside of the United States, so I apologize to anyone who is unable to access it.

For those that can access the site, go to Hulu dot com and copy and paste the words in the following sentence into their search field in the upper right corner:

sliders time again and world

But no worries, I don’t want to make it seem as though you are missing anything crucial. In fact, here is the plot summary of the episode from Mark D. Snyder of imdb.com; (spoiler alert) “The Sliders land in a world where J. Edgar Hoover founded the nation and martial law has been in effect for 30 years. Chased by government officials, they must make a choice of whether to protect the last surviving copy of the Constitution which could sprout the idea of democracy or gain the release of a former judge who has some potential to be a new founding father.”

Thought provoking?

Turning the Tide: The Eccentric’s Memorial Day Weekend Review:

4 Comments

Since there were so many exciting stories and developments this week, I’ve decided that I just can’t focus on only one issue this time. So in case you weren’t paying attention to the news this week, I’m going to get you up to speed on several issues you may have missed:

First off, it’s official! The “birther” story is finally getting really interesting!

Sorry Obama fans, but just when you thought the “birther” issue was over and done, it’s now looking like we could actually be seeing the unfolding of the next Watergate!

Critical thinking question of the day: Let’s pretend that the whole Obama/birth certificate story never happened… in real life. Instead, let’s pretend that the exact same story was turned into a movie, and you were at the theater watching it. Okay, so there you are at the theater, the show begins, and in a synopsis: a new “president” gets elected even though he apparently never showed his official birth certificate. Okay, I know that doesn’t sound that worrisome just yet, but on his first day in office, he signs a suspicious executive order regarding the sealing of presidential records! Okay, now that’s a bit odd, but the story only continues to get weirder. You see because later, it gets pointed out that there’s still no proof that the president has an official birth certificate; and possibly because of that, rumors start floating around that two million dollars have been spent to keep the issue secret! Now that might not be true, but wouldn’t you think; “hey, he’s the frickin president of the United States! Couldn’t he just order someone to just get the stupid birth certificate and simply just have it flown to him… that same afternoon?” No, apparently that would be too simple and make too much sense. But then things continue to get crazier…

Of course one of the significant developments turned out to be the governors race from the president’s home state. Significant because Neil Abercrombie (one of the candidates) claimed (in regards to the birth certificate issue); “has a political implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have.” But after Abercrombie wins the election however, guess what? It turns out that he can’t gain access to the certificate either! Then when an investigative reporter named Wayne Madsen begins looking into the president’s Chicago history, he receives death threats to stop!

Now I know by now you must be thinking; “come on dude, that sounds like a really horrible movie… something like that could never happen in real life!”

But then from out of nowhere comes mega-mogul Donald Trump claiming; “Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? The fact is, if he wasn’t born in this country, he shouldn’t be the president of the United States…” However just when you thought the Donald was going to be the guy to finally put this ridiculous issue to rest, the White House mercifully decided to save everyone the trouble, and finally released it! Story’s over? Not so fast…

Because after inspection, it appears that the “official birth certificate” might now be a total forgery! In fact there is a possibility that criminal charges will actually be filed against the White House! And even crazier yet, Donald Trump might actually have been in cahoots with Obama the whole time!

So we just went from a worsening B movie script to a Hollywood blockbuster! You just can’t make this stuff up!

Here, let’s get to one of the key interviews:

Don’t get me wrong though, because I’ve never really had that strong of an opinion on the whole birther fiasco anyway. I mean is anyone out there really hopeful about Joe Biden? Right, me neither…

So am I a racist for questioning the “birther” issue? Unfortunately, there are many people that seem to want to believe in that twisted delusion, but that theory is completely unfounded. Are some birthers racist? Well I’m not a birther, so how would I know? Seriously though, I’m sure there are people out there who are racist birthers, but making audacious blanket statements implying that all or most birthers must be racist is completely irrational and delusional.

Now I personally can’t prove that I’m 100% not racist, but I can 100% prove my voting record. Did you know that in 2008 that I voted for a black president? It’s true, but I’m going to throw you a curve ball… because it wasn’t Obama! Believe it or not, there was actually another black presidential candidate that was also representing hope and change. Can you guess who it was?

Give up?

It was Green Party candidate and former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney!

She also happened to be in the news this week as well, and her courage is always inspiring. Here she is reporting in from a humanitarian mission in Tripoli:

(please watch the first few minutes to check her out)

So to all of you who voted for Obama: listen, I completely understand how all of you got duped, and although many of us did attempt to warn you, I’m not here to rub it in your face. I just want to point out that there are more than two candidates, and that if you really want hope and change, it might be time to start looking at some of the third parties next time around. Remember, right versus left is an illusion, there is only right versus wrong.

Speaking of black presidents and ignorant claims of racism (I love this link by the way), have you seen the damage racism has caused the once formidable Tea Party? Well I guess all those accusations took such a heavy toll that they were forced to overcompensate by nominating Herman Cain. Now I don’t have anything bad to say about him (at least right now) but is he actually a good fit for the Tea Party when it comes to the issues? It certainly doesn’t appear that way, but here, take a look for yourself:

So did you hear about the revolt against the TSA tyranny at the Texas state capitol this week? You should, because the information contained inside could prove extremely useful to you sooner than you may think. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the reality is that the federal part of our government is really starting to overstep its boundaries in an almost chillingly Orwellian manner. That being said, the people really need to start paying more attention to what is going on with their state and local governments, because we could soon be in danger of losing many of our rights and freedoms if we don’t start getting involved with the system. Make your lawmakers aware that they are our servants, not the other way around!

Here is a tool to help get you mentally prepared:

Speaking of Orwellian, did you see this week that the Patriot Act just got renewed for another four years? What are these lawmakers thinking? Here, let me show you just how unpopular the Patriot Act is, and how corrupt and out of touch our politicians truly are; I have two articles I want to show you on this subject, but it’s not just the stories I want to show you. I also want you to specifically look at the “highest rated” reader comments, and by a count of thumbs up/thumbs down votes, get an idea of what the general public thinks about the Patriot Act:

First article: Obama, the autopen, and the midnight deadline:
Second article: The Patriot Act Showdown and yet another reason why many consider Harry Reid to be a corrupt and dangerous tyrant:

Here is the key video:

Speaking of government tyranny, there was another extremely important message and warning delivered this week by Ron Paul (must watch):

Okay, here’s a quickie: there was an unusual interview on the Daily Show last Thursday when Jon Stewart had EPA chief Lisa Jackson on the show. To be perfectly honest, I found it so boring that I don’t think I could watch it again. However, it later became clear why this interview was significant, and I’ll show you the article at this hyperlink. You see, the article is about the very controversial natural gas production method known as “fracking,” which according to Lisa; “knows of no proven cases that “fracking” had harmed water.” Really Lisa? How about I prove you wrong right here with help from none other than Jon Stewart himself? Speaking of which, I really don’t know what to make of this latest development… hey Jon and Lisa, what the frack?

Lastly, there’s been some exciting new developments in the information war that’s raging on behind the scenes. Since the government and mainstream media have been getting their ass kicked lately, they’ve had to resort to sicking the FBI and the “terminator” on us. As activist Carlos Montes puts it; “this new widespread attack… is only the newest wave in the federal government’s attempt at silencing the outspoken.”

As for the “terminator,” did you hear that the White House has hired a “dedicated propagandist” for “aggressive defense of the president and his policies?” His name is Jesse Lee, and he’s a blogger who already has experience representing controversial tyrants such as Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel Talk about a desperate move by the White House…

Hey Jesse, let’s get something straight; you are not a “terminator,” you are nothing more than another paid turd polisher…

Good luck to you and your team defending Obama though, this is certainly going to be fun to watch… by the way, speaking of Obama’s re-election bid, have you guys had a chance to check out the following movie yet? Because it’s a real doozy…

Okay, I’m done with my Weekend Review! And what an amazing week it was for all the great activists and the liberty movement as a whole! You guys absolutely rocked it last week! Now it’s too early to get too excited, but all of your efforts are really helping to turn the tide against tyranny, way to go!

Critical Thinking and the Art of Propaganda Comprehension: The Bin Laden Controversy

Leave a comment

Note: I’ve found myself to be quite a bit late to the Osama Bin Laden opinion party. However, maybe that’s not such a bad thing because now that it’s been a while, everyone has had a chance to take a step back and calm down… including myself. And since this event is a very emotional issue for some with many opposing viewpoints, the power to persuade opinion can have disastrous consequences, and people have to be very careful about the information surrounding this event… and by “people,” I’m also going to have include myself.

But if you want my opinion, I think this event was totally staged. Bin Laden was almost certainly dead already and the establishment was just saving his corpse for a future emergency to rescue the system. Why? Because their empire is crumbling apart and they are completely desperate to save themselves! I mean they “killed” him and immediately dumped his body in the ocean? Please, how gullible do they think we are? And this event wasn’t just staged to distract from the “birther” issue like the propaganda machine wants you to believe. This is a multi-faceted operation to channel support for their other illegal wars, to push us into another war with Pakistan, to boost their pathetic approval ratings, to jump start Obama’s re-election bid, and also to distract us from the crumbling economy… which is such a joke now that I’m at a loss for words to describe it. However, I do think it’s incredibly hilarious that we still have a AAA rating… I mean, how much more evidence to people need to see to realize that the game is rigged!?

However something really interesting happened with this latest propped up media hoax, because for the first time, the general masses haven’t been so quick to be gullible to the “official” story anymore! That’s because the corporate establishment propaganda machine and their pundits have become so absurd and cartoonish that they have almost no credibility anymore! And if you think basic cable news is bad, regular network news is almost unwatchable!

So that being said, my message to the readers is this: be careful of the propaganda, and be wary of anything the establishment tells you about this event. I keep hearing some dangerous opinions put out by some in the media that suggest that it’s somehow bad or unpatriotic to question the government’s official stance on the issue. Now not only do I find that concept unbelievably alarming and disturbing, that twisted philosophy helps set a very dangerous precedent. Now that doesn’t mean that I’m suggesting that it’s 100% fact that the government is definitely lying about their version of reality, but is there a reason why we can’t calmly and rationally conduct an investigation into their facts before they push us into another war? Maybe it’s me, but I don’t see any kind of recent government track record of honesty and transparency, do you? I for one don’t buy the establishment BS story about Bin Laden, but regardless, there should never be an excuse to go to war based on some insane idea that we shouldn’t question our government’s intentions!

That being said, I have a warning for anyone who thinks that the government’s word is good enough for them: if our leaders are anywhere near as corrupt as I suspect, but their “word” is good enough for you… and we eventually get into World War III with Pakistan based on false information (like the WMD’s in Iraq), elitist interests, and possible false flags because of YOUR gullibility in believing them, then that war will also be on YOUR conscience, and blood will also be on YOUR hands as well! Please be careful! Start questioning the establishment and stop being fooled!

We need a new Renaissance, not a corrupt empire of elitists destroying the world out of power and greed…

Okay, points made… now are you ready for some evidence and critical thinking?

Let’s face it, no matter what your beliefs are, it should be really obvious by now that the empire is failing and we are headed for the end of the line. Now that doesn’t mean there needs to be a panic, but it’s time to realize and accept that our current system is broken, beyond repair, and will have to be restarted and restructured at some point fairly soon. I mean, how long do you really think our current system is going to last anyway?

Face it, every society eventually falls, and with our world problems approaching an almost overwhelming level, there is probably no better time than now to start getting calmly informed and prepared for the possibility that there will be some big changes ahead in the near future. The good news is that these changes could very well usher in the beginning of the next Renaissance, but the bad news is: if you choose not to get involved, you will run the risk of being at the mercy of what the establishment chooses for you. Have you ever heard of the quote, “Order out of chaos?” How about “those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it?” Well if you want to get a good idea of how those quotes can seriously affect your life and your future, then I strongly suggest you check out my article on North Korea.

Here’s a good question for you; did you know that there is another major war going on that you might not have been aware of?

It’s true! War isn’t always just about military actions; war can also be waged on information! Simply put, when two sides give different stories surrounding an event, how can you tell which side is telling you the truth? I mean, do you believe everything you are being told? Or are you able to spot the difference between what is probably true, and what is more likely propaganda that the establishment wants you to believe is true?

Speaking of the information war, did you know that you actually have to pay to get premium news these days? It’s true! As I said earlier, regular network news is practically unwatchable these days; and even basic package news like CNN, FOX, and MSNBC are getting so corporate and phony that their credibility is falling rapidly. Sure, you can listen to your local phony corporate news clown’s worthless analysis (if they actually give you something), but if you had a choice, wouldn’t you rather hear what Bill Maher has to say? (update: never mind, Bill Maher has just officially sold out and proved himself to be another fake libertarian by dismissing Ron Paul and donating $1 million dollars to the Obama Super PAC… really Bill?) Judge Napolitano? (update: was recently fired for apparently getting too close to the truth). Curious about the Bloomberg Network? (update: don’t be curious as they have proven themselves to be as sickeningly biased as the New York Times) Then prepare to open up your wallet people, because intelligent news with intelligent analysis is going to force you to shell out an extra subscription fee.

Oh yeah, that reminds me… wasn’t there actually a time when news was supposed to be about trust? Perhaps a network or a pundit you trusted to really give it to you straight? Think about it for a moment; what if there was a breaking news story leading to an emergency situation and you only have time to listen to one source’s point of view of the event before you have to follow through on their “honest, hard-hitting intelligent opinion and analysis?” Here, I’ll even give you six choices:

A. Chris Matthews
B. Greta Van Susteren
C. Wolf Blitzer
D. Fox and Friends
E. NPR
F. Ann Coulter

See what I mean?

Now I get criticized at times for getting news from the Daily Show, but give me a break! Take another look at that list! And believe me, that is only a fraction of the many pundits I could have put there instead. Call me crazy, but what’s worse; cartoonishly absurd “news reporters” that take themselves and their work seriously? Or comedy news that at least points out how completely absurd these people and their news are?

Let me show you some recent examples of why I respect the Daily Show’s news coverage: (note: I am unable to post videos from Comedy Central, so the best way to view these clips is to right-click the hyperlink and set to “open link in a new window”)

Exhibit A: Jon Stewart and John Oliver discuss the corporatocracy:

Exhibit B: Aasif Mandvi discusses how we’re really not in another war:

Exhibit C: Want another reason why I think Fox News a joke? Speaking of cartoonish, take a look at this clip with the Fred Flintstone lookalike Bret Baier as he gets schooled by Jon Stewart. To be fair to Bret though, this really isn’t an even fight. Fox News has reached such a high level of absurdity, that it is literally impossible to defend the network and appear credible at the same time. One last point: Bret, I’m also a bit skeptical of you calling Charles Krauthammer “brilliant.” I mean it’s very possible that he was in a different era; but from my standpoint, all he does is tie the Flintstones analogy together, because when I picture Charles Krauthammer, all I see is a tired old dinosaur…

Exhibit D: This clip is one of the more important ones if you want a really good look at just how ridiculous the establishment has become. A transparency award? Are you effing kidding me? Want to know how incredibly stupid and gullible the establishment thinks the average American is?

Exhibit E: This clip can be shortened to its final two minutes (4:08 is a good beginning) This clip shows just how incredibly deceptive the establishment can be, and why this country will be in serious danger if we allow our officials to cleverly disguise and confuse their language like in this very Orwellian example:

Exhibit F: Still not convinced that the Bin Laden story was staged? Remember the very sad and uneventful campaign commercial from exhibit D? Remember when I said part of the reasoning for the Bin Laden hoax was to help Obama’s re-election campaign? Well take a look at this clip (start about 1:40) to see just how dumb, gullible, and easily manipulated the propaganda machine thinks the voting public are:

However, although I don’t agree with everything Jon Stewart says (and I was forced to be critical of him once before), I think in the case of the Bin Laden story, that there may be a certain point where Jon is forced to play both sides. Obviously I can’t speak for him of course, but from my perspective, this means that even Jon Stewart has to polish a turd once in a while. And if you are curious to see what that looks like, you can watch here as he turns the Bin Laden “hoax” into a dick joke:

Oh well, what should I expect Jon to do? Have a Howard Beale/Charlie Sheen moment and possibly risk his career over the issue? Of course not. But it really doesn’t matter to me what he truly believes or not. Besides, how can I really be that critical of a guy who can keep propaganda juggernaut Fox News at bay nearly single-handedly? So as far as I’m concerned, whether Jon has to play certain rules behind the scenes is irrelevant. Say what you want about him, but in my opinion he has done far more good then harm…

Speaking of which, perhaps it’s time to take a look at a couple of people that are doing far more harm than good; and coincidentally, I’m actually going to start with one of Jon’s recent guests, Rachel Maddow!

(update: I’ve been warming up a bit to Rachel lately, especially for her coverage of NDAA. However, in fairness I cannot rewrite the following text… nothing personal)

Rachel Maddow show MSNBC anchor woman liberal

Now I already thought this lady was nuts, and in fact I’ve already written an article on her once before where I exposed her fanaticism regarding the second amendment. However, it appears that my work on her is unfinished as she still continues to pollute our collective consciousness.

Now there are many things about this interview I find bothersome, but I’m only going to focus on the two parts I found the most disturbing:

Once again, please right-click this hyperlink for the interview…

To be fair, Jon played a big role in some of this misinformation as well. You are welcome to watch the full interview, but if you want to get straight to the point, let’s fast-forward to about 3:45…

Jon: “Is he dead? And do you think (it was a distraction from the birth certificate issue)…Really? That’s what’s living in your head? Are you that… just insane?”

Rachel: “The idea that the birth certificate is the real story…and that Osama Bin Laden is the distraction from it? Tells you everything you need to know about the people who are really invested in the birth certificate story. If you think Osama Bin Laden is the distraction that America needs… I think that puts that in the proper perspective…”

Me: Hey Jon and Rachel, I don’t know what goofball’s quote you found, but you can’t just cherry-pick the craziest comments off some message board and then just lump all of the rest of us “conspiracy theorists” into one camp like we all have the exact mentality. That would be as disingenuous as me cherry-picking comments by some left-wing tool like Doug Schoen and acting like he speaks for all liberals. Now of course I can’t speak for everybody in these various “truth movements,” but as far as I know, the vast majority of “truthers” are saying that Osama Bin Laden had already been dead for many years, and as I stated in the very beginning of this article, the reasoning why Bin Laden was “killed” was multi-faceted, and not solely because of the “birther” issue. That being said, this section of the interview was extremely misleading and unfair.

The second extremely disturbing piece of information I wanted to point out follows immediately after. Remember above when I said “be careful of the propaganda… I keep hearing some dangerous opinions put out by some in the media that suggest that it’s somehow bad or unpatriotic to question the government’s official stance on the issue?”

Well, how about I just let Rachel show you in her own words (4:35-4:42).

Rachel: “The whole like; If we don’t see the pictures, none of us will ever believe that he’s dead thing… is a country that I don’t recognize.”

Really Rachel? Are you actually suggesting that we shouldn’t question the integrity of the government? The same people that lie to us on a daily basis? You really think we should just take them at their word even though they just conveniently and inexplicably just dumped Bin Laden’s body into the freaking ocean? Are you completely insane? A country you don’t recognize? I mean historically speaking, isn’t questioning our government one of the things that we are most famous for? Not only was that an insane and blasphemous comment Rachel, it is precisely what I’m referring to when I mention setting dangerous precedents. You are really starting to scare me lady. It’s bad enough that you want to stomp out the second amendment, but now you don’t think we should question the government? That sounds like you want to turn us into the next China, Mexico, or maybe North Korea! Hey Rachel, what’s living in your head?

Now it’s time to switch gears again, and guess what? It involves more comedy news! Now I understand that there are many people that say comedy and news don’t mix, but I disagree completely. In fact I’ve personally been influenced by a lot more comedians’ philosophies than the “serious” news pundits. Whose wise words do you live by? Anderson Cooper and Sean Hannity? Or would you rather listen to Bill Hicks and George Carlin? (By the way, the Carlin link is so prophetic it’s almost scary) So as far as I’m concerned, if you are an intelligent, rational, and logical thinking person with thought-provoking opinions, then you are just as worthy to listen to as any pundit or politician. However, getting news from comedy doesn’t always come without problems, and the power to persuade opinion can be dangerous whether it’s serious or not, so on that note, I have one more example to show you:

(Quick update: before I get into this next segment, I want to mention that I don’t have anything personal against Seth Meyers, and I’m still a fan of SNL. That being said, I’m assuming that the following event was an isolated case and highlights the emotion and overreaction of this unbelievable media bombshell story last May Day).

Seth (Sith) Meyers is the “anchorman” on Saturday Night Live, and he was also the host at the recent White House correspondent’s dinner. Now I’m not here to fault him for hosting this event, however I do have a huge problem with one of his recent newscasts as it absolutely reeked of some of the worst propaganda I’ve ever seen. And yes, I understand that this still falls in the comedy realm, but like I said, it’s all about the power to persuade opinion. That being said, I have to show you some very dangerous opinions that needs to be addressed…

Here is the hyperlink to the Weekend Update:

I apologize for the commercials (I’ll blame GE), but the specific starting space in this video should be at roughly the 26th minute or the 3rd “marker” as indicated on the bottom of the video.

26:35 Antagonizing Qaddafi to bolster support for an unpopular war?
26:57 The Bin Laden is not really dead misinformation conspiracy.
27:20 Approval rating ridiculousness? I guess I must be incredibly stupid for being in the the 44% club of people that won’t bow down and worship Obama over a media hoax.
27:40 Let the awkwardness begin… apparently the message is that we are supposed to believe that Osama Bin Laden was the most wicked man that ever lived.
30:42 I guess we should blame Pakistan?
31:47 Want to know where I came up with the name Sith Meyers?
32:14 The beginning of another awkward sketch designed to bolster support for our inexcusable “kinetic military actions.”
35:22 This quip comparing our children to China’s might seem funny on the surface, but it’s actually helping spread a very dangerous myth. I guess according to Sith, we should be ashamed of our education system since we are not turning our children into automatons the way they do in China. Hey Sith, maybe we should just start putting up the nets around the workplace like the Chinese are forced to? Or how about we start working out complex mathematical and psychological formulas to see just how many hours that we can work a person before they reach their breaking point and attempt suicide? I mean if we could just find a way to get these workers to stay at their maximum level of work capacity, but also just under their absolute mental breaking point where they finally snap? Think about all the money we could save on nets and cleanup! Hey, is that the smell of a freshly-splattered worker? Or do I smell a promotion?

Wow Sith, so did you sell your soul at the correspondent’s dinner or something? Seriously dude, did the C.I.A. write that episode’s Weekly Update for you? What a giant mess of blatant government propaganda! So how does it feel to be a propaganda spewing imperialist for the dark side? Sith Meyers everyone!

Now I agree with Sith that our education system is quite flawed. In fact, I might even argue that our kids are probably being dumbed-down on purpose. However we won’t “win the future” by turning our children into robots, we will win the future with more love, imagination, inspiration, and creativity.

Here’s an example, but I want you to also think about it from a different angle… you see it’s not just the scene itself that I’m referring to. Think about it; would we even have these thought-provoking movies if we had all been educated under the Chinese “model” instead? I don’t know about you, but my guess is leaning towards no. Yes, our education system needs work, but the solution is not to adopt the Chinese model!! Don’t believe the hype!!

Okay, so I’ve covered the reasons why I think the mainstream media blows. So do you think you’re ready for the hardcore stuff?

Remember the multiple choice question about which pundit you would trust in an emergency situation? Never mind, I’m going to make this easy and copy it again below:

A. Chris Matthews
B. Greta Van Susteren
C. Wolf Blitzer
D. Fox and Friends
E. NPR
F. Ann Coulter

Having a little trouble with your decision? Would you like another option?

Fine, I’ll give you one… but the bad news is that it’s a bit of a controversial choice…

In fact many would probably refer to him as the “King of Conspiracy.” However, many others (depending on individual interpretation), would refer to him as the “King of Reality.” Sound intriguing? Here, I’ll even give you a sample in the video below (warning, may be very intense for some viewers):

By the way, if you click this sentence, it will bring you to an article leading to the link of the Washington Post article that Alex was referring to…

Now I understand that clip was intense, controversial, and a bit one-sided (at least in this example), but you have to admit that it blows the doors off of what you could expect to hear from the list above does it not?

Okay, now let’s get back to the multiple choice question again; only this time the subject will be about what really happened with Bin Laden…

I know some of you may still be tempted to run screaming back to NPR by this point, but aren’t you just a little bit curious about the mega-controversial interview between “the King of Conspiracies” and major government/military insider; Dr. Steve Pieczenik? (click his name for an impressive bio)

Well here is where it all begins:

Well what about those latest Bin Laden videos?

How about 10 facts that prove that this latest Bin Laden story was a hoax?

Okay, I’m done with that part of the argument!

Bonus fun time!

Now let’s end this article on the bright side with a fun little critical thinking exercise…

Once again I have to give a big kudos to Jon Stewart for lining up a recent interview with the incredibly smart and talented Albert Brooks. Not only am I also a fan of his work, but he also just wrote a controversial new book about “the real story of what will happen to America in 2030.”

Therefore, I will leave you with one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies which of course also stars Albert Brooks. I call it a critical thinking exercise because it really gives the audience a thought-provoking “outside the box” perspective on the bigger picture of reality. Now it doesn’t matter whether this scene is truly indicative of what one could expect to see in the afterlife or not. The point is, how would you fare if your life was actually on trial?

Well that’s it! I hope everyone learned a lot because there is no better time than now to wake up and get out of this modern day dark age! What are you waiting for?

Peace and Love…

How we can Peacefully Abolish the I.R.S. in Only 40 Minutes!

10 Comments

What if I told you in absolute sincerity and seriousness that there was a way to get rid of the I.R.S. easily and quietly overnight without anyone getting hurt in the process?

Sound too good to be true? It’s not! But we can’t get there if you want to sit on the sidelines hoping someone else is going to do all the work for you. That means you will have to at least get briefly involved; but I promise it only requires a very small bit of time and action on your part. Do you want to avoid ever having to deal with the dreadful, stress-inducing task of tax season again? Then please keep reading…

I can attribute many of my “I.R.S. activism imaginings” to a time a few years ago when I saw a film titled “America: From Freedom to Fascism,” by Aaron Russo. If you’re not familiar with Aaron, I’m willing to bet that you’ve probably seen some of his work as a producer, most notably the iconic comedy; “Trading Places.”

Although Aaron had a successful career in Hollywood; as he got older, he became much more political. And that road eventually led to the creation of this fantastic documentary exposing one of the most feared and mysterious institutions in all of human history; the dreaded I.R.S…

Let me first tell you that the only reason this institution still exists is because the general public doesn’t understand the true history of how it came to be, and how it really works. But the best part is, you don’t need to learn how to decipher legalese or memorize volumes of tax code to fight them. Not only is their language (they call it “code” for a reason) overly complex and confusing, it could easily be argued that it’s completely useless information. Besides, don’t give into their game and play by their rules, or we may never beat them. In order for us to truly have victory over the I.R.S., we’re going to have to make them play by our rules. And the good news is, I can make this extremely simple for you to learn!

You see, all you really need to understand about the I.R.S. is what the grand parasite’s specific weak points are! Focus and concentrate on those specific issues, and the institution will collapse like a house of cards! As long as we stick together, and don’t give in to their intimidation, all the legal gibberish in the universe can’t stop us if we don’t comply!

Sound like an easy plan? It really is, but in order for this idea to work, you must share a responsibility in “getting the word out!”

Why?

The biggest obstacle with sharing this type of information is that it never seems to reach a large enough audience. That of course, is not by coincidence. In fact there is quite a lot of information the establishment does not want you to know about. Call me crazy, but I’m here to inform you that there really is a lot of “forbidden” knowledge out there, and if you want proof, I have some right here. Have you seen this film on television before? Exactly, they can’t show videos like this on network television for the simple fact that it exposes information they don’t want you informed about. Think about it, if you became unbelievably wealthy and powerful through massive financial fraud, would you want the general public knowing how the racket works? Or would you rather they be completely distracted?

So I’m going to make this as simple as possible: I believe the first 40 minutes of this documentary to be more than enough information to prove the major points of the I.R.S. argument. However, I strongly recommend watching this film from the beginning to at least through the first 13 minutes. I hope you keep watching, because the following 17 minutes do contain a lot of very interesting information. However, not every single scene is absolutely essential to view, so feel free to jump around a little (if you must) in that section.

Seeing the I.R.S. a bit differently now?

Of course that brings us to the absolute must-watch grand finale: The showdown between Aaron Russo versus former I.R.S. commissioner Sheldon Cohen…

Let’s take a look at the most important part of the I.R.S. debate at 29:40-38:22.

Usually, I like to break down videos and offer analysis on specific clips. In this instance however, Aaron Russo does almost all of that work for me (and quite superbly I might add).

But since I can’t help myself, I’m still going to highlight a couple of parts anyway:

33:05-33:18 Aaron throws a very simple curve ball, but leaves the commissioner completely speechless. In fact it looks like Cohen actually went comatose for a good 7 or 8 seconds! Hey Sheldon, what were you thinking about buddy? Were you worried that the “jig was up” and that your interview was going to come back to haunt you someday?

37:19 “You caught me unprepared?” If you were a tax expert and former I.R.S. commissioner, how could you be “unprepared” for relatively simple interview questions?

Hey Sheldon, would you say you’re “prepared” for those same questions now? I’m curious how you would fare if it were possible to redo this interview again? But I have a feeling you would probably tell me one of the following:

37:27 Silly arguments?

Or…

38:10-38:20 Are you serious? The interview ends with the former I.R.S. commissioner making a threat? Do you know what that means besides the fact that he just showed you what a complete farce the I.R.S. really is? As far as I’m concerned, he may as well have just stated that the American people are way too ignorant to ever figure out how the sophisticated I.R.S. “racketeering scheme” really works, much less be able to stop it from happening. So ask yourself this; does Sheldon have a really good point? Or do you think that the American people will wake up in time to stop this madness, and finally put an end to this parasitic institution for the greater good of the future?

Here’s where things get interesting, because it could be argued that the outcome of our future depends on you. Which future do you want to see? Are you satisfied to live the rest of your life as a compliant and lowly pawn in Sheldon’s world? Or are you ready to be a part of the solution?

So now that you have seen the truth, what are you going to do about it?

Still not convinced? Want to see an inspiring real-life example of how non-compliance works with the I.R.S.? Not only that, but an undeniably amazing example of why being involved in jury duty is so important? Then you absolutely must watch what follows right after the Sheldon Cohen interview…

Dear I.R.S.,

You can decide to audit me if you want or worse, but it doesn’t have to be like that. I mean honestly, how long are you really planning on terrorizing the American people for anyway? Five more years? A hundred? And by the way, how do you think you’ll eventually go down? Slowly in court? Will it resemble the ending of Fight Club? Or perhaps even the ending of V for Vendetta? I know it probably sounds exciting to think that we could honestly see scenes like that happen in “real life,” but I have another idea instead: how about we meet in the middle, get “outside the box,” and require everyone to watch the movie; “Stranger than Fiction” instead?

Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but it does give the people an easy understanding of our different worlds doesn’t it? But most importantly, it shows that we have no reason to be enemies! I mean, why would we want to create a tragedy when we can have a good laugh and a cry instead? Isn’t it time to bury the past and move forward as species anyway? I mean, would you really rather live in the world of indefinite austerity you are helping to create?

Ask yourself honestly; what future do you really want to experience?

Peace and Love…

Want to Play a Game? How Distractions like Farmville Could Help Lead us into a Dystopian Nightmare:

6 Comments

Have you ever noticed how conspiracy theorists talk about the novel/movie “1984,” and/or use words/phrases like “Big Brother,” and “Orwellian?” Are these conspiracy theorists completely out of their minds? Or is it actually possible that we are heading towards a real-life version of the legendary Dystopia?

Call me kooky, but I for one believe we ARE headed in that nightmarish direction… in fact I’m even going to prove it!

A few months ago I wrote an article about North Korea that I felt had a lot of potential, but it probably stunk for several reasons (I’ll hyperlink to the original below). Call it clunky or ill-timed; it can be argued that it was plenty of both. My excuse is that I was a lot more paranoid and frantic when I wrote it. At that time I really did think “the end” might be imminent, so I felt this urgent burden of responsibility to warn people while I still “had the chance.” But as a result of my haste, the whole project probably ended up backfiring. However, I also cannot allow a poorly timed and presented mistake from the past allow valuable information to go to waste either. So since recent developments have occurred to make it relevant for me to try and share this story again, it’s time to give it a serious makeover…

The makeover idea stems from recent developments about establishment attacks on the alternative media. For example; investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, who has recently received death threats and might even have to leave the country! Another target was YouTube activist member Sean Justice (FederalJack) who was recently harassed by government spooks. Now since I also consider myself a member of the alternative media, and I have actually listened to Wayne on numerous occasions, and have watched and have probably even linked to FederalJack’s Youtube videos, I can’t help but take these attacks quite personally.

Since the establishment appears on the offensive, I guess it is time for us in the alternative media to start asking questions towards the establishment about how they really want this fight to go down. Is the establishment really going to meet all its resistance with threats and potential murder? Or is there a more happy solution? I’m all about creative and non-violent solutions, so maybe it’s time for a little negotiating with the elites:

I NEVER ALLOWED MY PEOPLE TO USE THE INTERNET IN MY COUNTRY. BUT IF I HAD, I WOULD HAVE MADE THEM PLAY FARMVILLE!

As I’ve pointed out before, I think it would be foolish to antagonize the elites, but at the same time, it’s not like they are going to allow themselves to be arrested and spend significant time in prison without a fight, are they? Probably not, and especially not while they still have the most control over the system. I mean how long did it take to bring down Madoff? Or Enron?

Could it really be possible to reach a happy medium with the NWO? A way to rid our country and the world of the vast majority of corrupt, white-collar criminals in a non-violent and merciful manner? AND (bizarrely enough) with their own approval? The idea is a work in progress for sure, but I do have a potential solution; and it involves the creation of a controlled environment similar to a prison, only the “prison” will resemble something like Bohemian Grove meets Dave and Buster’s meets the Truman Show. Crazy? Maybe, but I guess the general idea is that maybe we need to rethink the idea of arresting, harshly punishing, and/or executing the guilty elites because they are still extremely powerful, and may try to do something drastic to defend themselves.

However, in order to have a peaceful resolution to the planet’s NWO problem, we will need to find a way to keep the elites occupied and under observation; but at the same time, happy enough to want to stay put. Now that might sound like a reward for the guilty, but what’s really the better solution? Potentially brutal “eye-for-an-eye” justice that could drag out for decades and possibly even lead to catastrophe? Or would it be better to show mercy and round them up the easy way? After all, time is against us, and we need to put an immediate stop on them from playing god with us and our children.

Forgive and forget? Maybe the elites should consider having the next Bilderberg meeting with the conspiracy theorists? Perhaps they can work out a solution and the public doesn’t even have to find out all of the details! Let the little people continue to live in blissful ignorance. I mean, is every detail of all the elites’ crimes really that necessary for the general public to be informed about? And in an unusual twist of irony, wouldn’t a potential angry public backlash leading to revenge on the elites and their minions actually sink us to their level?

Call me a crazy idealist, but I honestly believe an idea like this could work, but it’s certainly a work in progress for sure…

However, that is my solution. Now you can laugh at my idea, but before you call me a kook, maybe you would like to check out the other side of the argument, and see what their solution is for you?

For the record, I honestly have no opinion on the Muslim/Christian issue featured, but I still like the cartoon!

In that case, I can show you a potential future they may have planned for us, but I have to warn you up front that you’re probably not going to share their “ideal” vision. In fact, it could be argued that it is the exact opposite of mine. Now if you want to see their future happen in real life I can help you bring it to fruition; and all you have to do is stop paying attention to them! I’ve brought up Farmville, because it’s a great example of a mindless and destructive distraction. But from the elite’s standpoint, if the population is under constant attack by various addictive distractions, it would be the perfect cover to get away with whatever mischief they want to create. I mean, are you really committing a crime on humanity if the people aren’t paying attention?

But wait eccentric, why would the elites do something like this to us?

Well, I guess it could be argued that it’s all about eugenics and population control, but it could also be argued that the elites need to create a more “controlled” environment for you so they can get away with their crimes. I mean, how can we hypothetically arrest the corrupt bankers and politicians if the power structure of the system is in their pocket? That brings me full circle: The attacks on the alternative media and the threats of shutting down the internet are very likely the result of the real possibility that the elites are actually very scared of US right now! Scared because they do not want you “waking up” and finding out what they’ve really been up to. Remember the Nuremberg Trials? You may not, but they certainly do…

Intrigued? If you would like a sneak preview of a potential 1984 Dystopia future waiting for us, I have a few clips to show you:

Now when I wrote this article the first time, I was disappointed that there wasn’t one full video, because I thought I would lose the viewer as the accompanying video series would be too clunky and difficult to navigate, but now I have a better idea…

I’m actually going to post all 14 parts of the following documentary that I want to share with you on this one page; but fear not, this will not be the time consuming research exercise that it sounds like. Instead, this presentation will actually allow you the freedom to navigate these videos and watch the segments you find most intriguing (as opposed to watching them the “old-fashioned” way from beginning to end). However, since I don’t have time to re-watch this film and write a personal analysis for each clip, I’m just going to pick people’s YouTube comments to use as captions for the clips instead.

Want to play a game? I have one for you. Put down the Angry Birds video game, and play around with the following videos instead. Unlike the imaginary world of Farmville, you will actually learn something useful; in fact if everyone watched these videos it could literally change our future for the better! Remember the saying, “those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it?” Are you ready to get up to speed?

1. My only recommendation is that you watch enough of the first video so you will understand the background. After that, look at whatever ideas look the most interesting… but most importantly, have fun!

Look like a future you want to experience?

Come on eccentric, that’s an extreme example! That could never happen in America!

Really? It can be argued that the only things keeping that nightmare from actually happening are the first and second amendments which (by no coincidence) seem to be under constant attack!

One last hypothetical question: If everyone in America was playing Farmville and Angry Birds (instead of paying attention to the powers that be); thus allowing the establishment to control the internet, the alternative media, and the second amendment; how do you think our future would play out instead? (Clue: take a peek at China and Mexico).

Any further questions?

So who is the real-life big brother?

exhibit A: Involves something you can see for yourself at your local Walmart!
exhibit B: Or is it Big Sister?
exhibit C: Barry Soetoro? Really?

Show me proof that the establishment wants to control the internet!

exhibit A: Starring Senator Lieberman!
exhibit B: Cyberspace is a national asset?
exhibit C: Look at what happened in Egypt! Duh!
exhibit D: Revolt? Despite all the honesty and transparency in Washington?

Show me proof that the establishment wants to control the first amendment!

Show me proof that the establishment wants to control the second amendment!

Show me proof that America is turning into a police state!

exhibit A: This has to be seen to be believed!
exhibit B: 16 signs that you live in a tyranny!
exhibit C: I can’t even watch the video in this article… Eff you TSA!

Show me proof that the establishment is watching us!

exhibit A: Spy satellite naïveté?
exhibit B: Welcome to the Cashless Society Control Grid!
exhibit C: The “Orwellian” Project Indect!

Show me proof that they want to create a “controlled environment” for us!

Wait, what in the world is “eugenics?”
