Where Is The Justice?


Lynch the Bastards!

When considering that the majority, the common people, dutifully go about their mundane life performing meager jobs, for meager pay, responsibly pay their taxes and the rest put to survive frugally each day, have become victims. Then, through no fault of their own, save for having chosen to elect inept public officials who, through their own ignorance or corrupt manipulation, allow others, obviously wiser and mischievously corrupt, to drain the public treasury to the severe detriment of the same common people. Then, to add insult to injury, the same inept government officials turn to the common people advocating they must endure hardship to re-establish the depleted treasury, to restore programs of civility and healthy economy. All the while these same officials retain their high-paid salaries and entitlements including lucrative pension benefits should they chose out of shame, to retreat into retirement. And, as for the welfare corporate state, primarily responsible for the failure of the state’s economy, either direct or indirectly, too, are able to sustain their lucrative and quality, standard of living.

Heaven forbid that the common people should make their discontent known by demonstrating in the public streets that their life’s hardship financed into existence. To be confronted brutally by legions of shielded, armed riot police all of whom too are well compensated by those whom they beat back with hardwood batons and liters of pepper spray.

One has to ask:Where is the fairness of justice in this civil, social system?

The severe financial crisis that permeates nations globally which elected governments must be held directly accountable to have let materialize through a myriad of rational reason, must come to understand that unlike prior instances of similar civil malaise, the common people being more educated and informed are less tolerant then in the past. They must take notice that unless significant measures are taken to reverse the tidal flow of benefit from those responsible for perpetrating and prospering from the ills of our times, the `Let them eat cake’ philosophy of old will once again render a corresponding but more vicious and sustained uprising.

The threshold of tolerance of the hardworking majority, the 99 percent, is close to being transgressed and what potentially lies awaiting beyond its border, at all expense, will be mercilessly dispensed. The blind bravery of common people has historically been witnessed in past, worldly events; the bonding element having been to the welfare of all. The same element of resolve will undoubtedly manifest should the adverse austere conditions presently being imposed on the majority by the one-percent, and the governments that protect them and,  it will not relent.

‘When and where all hope is lost – there is no hope to loose.’

BLOW BACK –


BLOW BACK – A PBS 1987 broadcast states clearly why the there is a growing, dangerous situation in IRAN. It is essential to understand how an illegitimate, US intervention in the affairs of IRAN some 60 years ago, to STEAL the control of their resources, is the root-cause for potential conflict TODAY. The ongoing meddling by the US and its allies in the affairs of other sovereign nations has cost countless lives all for the GREED OF MONEY AND POWER

Nothing More

This time of global crisis I do deplore, anxious to what may be in store, the world peoples demand, implore, those who purport to lead, to restore, the peace and civility we most adore, for there are solutions yet to explore, as conflict of arms only leads to death and bloody gore, a condition humanity can no longer ignore, for our children’s’ children expect nothing less, nothing more!

Prediction: Israel vs Iran


I am posting the following just for the record in the event what is stated manifests:

Feb. 6, 2012
Israel – Iran Prediction

The other day while surfing the Net I happened upon a short You Tube posted video that some Israeli produced as a ‘fictional’ account of a preemptive strike by Iron on one of the settlements. The video images were of a young Israeli couple who. just learning of an immanent missile presumably by Iran, their confusion in attempts to locate family.  Seconds into the video all chaos ensues as missiles appear to be hitting a settlement off in the distance.  The interesting aspect of this otherwise propaganda-ish video is the date stamp: ‘FEB. 23, 2013‘.

If an Israeli-Iran conflict happen I do not think it will wait until 2013 especially given repeated media reports  on the topic suggesting Israel wanting to strike sometime March or April, 2012.

It is my suggestion that the date for conflict to begin is: Feb. 23, 2012,

It is to be initiated by a missile attack from Iran.

Though the missiles will come from Iran they were launched by a rogue group possibly MOSAD, that infiltrated Iran’s southern border. The surprise attack will give Israel  legitimacy to retaliate.

There would be an investigation/determination but it will come well after the conflict had begun. Of course by then, it will be a moot point in much the same as no WMD’s in Iraq.

This is a real stretch but crazier things we all know happen…..

Truth: Fact To Reality


The complication that arises from having too much idle time coupled with a curious and inquisitive mind and an Internet access, is the opportunity to garner knowledge that leads to a better understanding, comprehension of the reality that encompasses humanity. A reality of knowing that we, all of humanity, are emersed in a nefarious body of deception and lies that has become so comprehensive and insidious, it obliterates any possibility of knowing Truth. A word that as of this 21st century day, no longer has substantive meaning for any aspect of this realm of human existence.

Ultimately, an individual has only one truth to hold on to:you are born; you die.

The foundation of individual experience, teaching learned, perception to thought and worldly understanding is built upon a lie or contrivance of what was once known as truth. That beyond the stated ultimate truth, every transaction that transpires throughout a human life has a substantive potential to be the fabrication and/or manipulation of the environment of experience.

It is fully expect many would argue against this denunciation of human reality simply because the nay-sayer(s) has not had the opportunity to objectively explore the bubble of deception that comprises this world reality. The convoluting and conspiring that has become so sophisticated as to render the seams and interlacing of falsehoods, invisible to all save for those who take the time to look deeply into the System as metaphorically depicted in the classic movie series The Matrix.

Once the Individual realizes, digests and understands the hypocritic structure of human reality; only then can they shed the obligation and imposed weight of responsibility to participate and serve the System. The caveat to this denunciation is this truth of fact: You will fail in any attempt to disconnect;obliterated by the Administrators via mechanisms strategically entrenched and promulgated by officious, subordinate minions ready to enforce a delusional, false reality. This is an absolute certainty enshrined in the knowledge; those of ultimate position of authority to knowing the true state of humanity’s reality have in place layers of safeguards to ensure that such knowledge not be allowed to infiltrate the masses. Every resource, without limit, will be utilized to insure the primacy of their position.

A moral telling story:

A young man in the course of his worldly journey is told a prophetic tale by as wise looking old man:

One day, in the very near future, all the people of the world will simultaneously go mad, insane of mind

Visibly alarmed by the prospect the young man asked what could he do to prevent this from happening to him?

The old man handing the young man a porcelain flask replied; ‘Drink the water contained in this flask at the first sign of such an event and be saved from the scourge.’

Taking the flask the young man departed never to see the old man again.

Sure enough, true to the wise-man’s prophetic teaching the day arrived; the young man realized over the course of the day people all around were going mad; running about hill and dale, screaming incomprehensibly and nonsensically as the ran about.

Quickly, the young man opened the flask he always held with him, drank the flavourless liquid.

As the clock struck the mid-night hour, everyone within earshot of the young man was raving madly, running in circles, doing irrational things. Everyone had gone stark raving insane of mind as was told to him

As the days and weeks went by, the man in his travels began to realize those around him started seeing that he was different and they reacted poorly to his presence. Soon crowds would gather around him all blathering the same nonsensical gibberish and began to treat him poorly.

As time wore on the young man had come to realize he would have been better not to have drunken of the flask realizing by all around him – he truly, was the one insane of mind.

The moral of course: the more one differentiates their Self from the majority, the more likely they are to be deemed the weaker, problematic, to be subject to their persecution.

Is All Sanity Lost?



To anyone keen on global politics, the Republican Party presidential nominee primaries has to be at the top of the chart of things to watch and listen.

To date the campaign has been a roller-coaster ride with each of the original field of eight candidate hopefuls having their `kick at the can’ as favorite with the exception of media cast underdog: Ron Paul.

Exiting the most recent primary of South Carolina it would appear of the remaining four: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingerich, Rick Santorum and last but not least, Senator Ron Paul; Newt Gingrich seems the flavor dejour .

Gingrich’s South Carolina win comes as somewhat of a surprise though rumored leading up to the day of voting as likely to unseat rival Mitt Romney who won New Hampshire and seemingly tied with Santorum in Iowa.

As observer to the 2012 GOP nomination process, what is increasingly disturbing, listening to the rhetoric of the three candidates as each takes turn basking in the spotlight of Republican delegates amour, is the unabashed `call-to-arms’ when discussing the perceived Iranian nuclear program. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate countering the `war-mongering’ position.

By virtue of Romney, Gingrich and Santorum sharing the spotlight if not momentarily, as front runner, what is most alarming and should be of concern to everyone around the globe, is the unanimous support suggested by Republican voters support of continued United States hegemonic and interventionist foreign policy and anti=Islamic propaganda. It is as though a significant segment of US citizens have amnesia when it comes to starting war in the Middle East and their cost to life and treasury.

As stated, Newt Gingrich won South Carolina taking 40 percent of the votes cast against Romney’s 28 percent; Santorum and Paul taking 17 and 13 percent, respectively.

With a commanding win by Gingrich,, with the real potential that he be elected 45th President of the United States, it would be intriguing to know more of his political track-record.

Not surprising, Internet search results are more commentary on his marital misgivings then his politics however, the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) [http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Gingrich_Newt] provides a detailed analysis of Gingrich’s path to present glory.

A review of Gingrich’s rise through the mine-laden chasm of politics, it can only be conclude that, despite a concern for Gingrich’s erratic nature and inconsistency in setting policy, the overwhelming concern for all people, should be his stated willingness to pursue military solution to threats and foes to the United States – unilaterally and without consent of its allies if necessary.

The current, greatest threat to world stability is the quagmire of the Middle East: the powder keg being Iran, the fuse Israel, the match, the Untied States. That said, a Gingrich quote taken from the ISP web-site: “waging war against us since 1979,” he has explicitly espoused an emphatic regime-change line, telling CNN in October 2011, “Our goal should be the replacement of the Iranian dictatorship.” should give pause to everyone when considering Newt Gingrich for President.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the United States electoral populace is more then split on issues of policy both domestic and foreign, they are `scattered’. There are many important and relevant issues by which to divide the electorate, namely: declining economy, rising unemployment, financial crisis in the national debt and, foreign policy related to impending war with Iran to name the most significant. However, what is most telling about the state-of-mind of the voting public and reflected by the main-stream-media is the blatant and obvious disregard for the one candidate most consistent in his platform to address all of these issues is Senator Ron Paul.

To an outside observer it is increasingly difficult to understand how the erratic, vacillating, egregiously blatant lying and, documented ‘flip-flopping’ on policy and other matter by the three leading candidates versus Ron Paul’s consistent and grounded platform, does not permeate with a greater majority of voters then he now enjoys.

Though many find Ron Paul’s platform a radical shift in American doctrine both domestic and foreign, confidence should be garnered from at least knowing what he stands for and what he would do as President unlike his opponents whom have demonstrated conclusively their fallibility of consistency and willingness to acquiesce to pressures imposed by Lobbyst over the interests of the citizens of the United States and the balance of the World.

In conclusion, considering the performance of the Obama administration over the last three-plus years in Office and, the President’s obvious departure from the platform on which he was so stridently elected; should any of the three leading Republican contenders ultimately become the 45th President, seems almost irrelevant. The four years following the January 20th, 2013 inauguration and potentially beyond, will undoubtedly be filled with strife, tension, impending if not full-out conflict that will continue to erode any possibility for sane, peaceful well-being for all people, throughout the World.

Cycle of Ignorance


In approximately seven months from today, the citizens of the United States will vote to elect the 45th President of the United States.

Presently the Republican Party is in the process of defining whom amongst a field of what began as eight presidential hopefuls, to what is now five, of whom one will chosen at the GOP National Convention to start the week of August 27, 2012 to be held in Tampa Bay, Florida. The candidate chosen to challenge seated President Barack Obama at the November 5th, 2012 election.

As of this writing, the six Republican candidates are to face-off in the South Carolina primaries on January 21, 2012. At present straw-polls have Mitt Romney in the lead followed by Rick Santorum even though Newt Gingrich was expected to do well in South Carolina. Ron Paul appears to be hold forth place position just ahead of Rick Perry.

To speculate who will ultimately be the front-running favorite come the GOP Convention given the volatility of what is taking place in the State primaries held to date would be that: pure speculation. That said, as it appears now, Mitt Romney is definitely staying the course set very early in the primary process.

Having followed through televised debates and daily news sources both from the main stream media and alternate namely Internet, media, it is increasingly perplexing as to how it is the Mitt Romney in spite of well documented evidence that his stump-speech can change from one day to the next when challenged on issues of foreign policy, occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and most importantly dealing with the economy. To go into specifics would demand a book not an essay therefore it behooves you the reader to check out the veracity of this claim. But most important about Romney’s vacillating platform is how in general, it does not waver significantly from that of President Obama.

Romney continues to promote hegemonic occupations represented by military interventionist strategies throughout the Middle East, he supports failed Keynesian economic driven monetary policies, increased Defense budget spending and, has a proven track record by his greed-driven ambitions as a private-sector businessman that would put dollars of profit ahead of jobs of middle-class Americans that now face increasing unemployment.

On the subject of taxation, though Romney resists demands to release his tax returns from prior years, he has committed to stating that due to a significant portion of his earnings are derived from investments, his effective tax rate is estimated to be approximately fifteen (15) percent. This would have Romney paying less taxes on a percentage basis then the average bus driver.
To add insult to this, Romney fully supports the Bush Tax cuts to the rich legislated by the
G.W. Bush administration.

To compare the platforms of the five remaining candidates as presented via the many debates held to date, to anyone with a modicum of common-sense, with the exception of one of the five, the one commonality that threads them together is that they all stand for the same basic principles of war, increased military spending, continued interventionist foreign policies and monetary backing of the too-big-to-fail banking institution funded by the Federal Reserve at the expense of the American people’s treasury that in turn, mirrors the platform on which the Obama administration has and would continue to operate post November, 2012.

The one exception of note is none other than Ron Paul.

Senator Ron Paul from the outset of the Republican Party primaries that started May 5,2011 has if nothing else been absolutely consistent in his message the central theme of which has been: restoration of the principles of the American Constitution.

Here again, it would take a book to highlight and delve into the specifics of the Ron Paul election platform but what can be said most stridently is that his doctrine of returning American troops not only from present theater of conflict but from the hundreds of military bases threw-out the world in concert with a revised less interventionist foreign policy; gradual elimination of federal income tax; great individual rights to self-determination; abolishing of the Federal Reserve and central banking system structured upon fiat currency; significant cuts to military budget and elimination of federal departments such as Education, Energy, Housing, Commerce and Urban Development in support of a Trillion-dollar cut in federal spending by the end of the first year in Office.

As stated, to compare Ron Paul’s proposed electoral platform to that of the other four candidates, it is blatantly obvious whose platform most reflects a true and heart-felt, common-sense concern for the common-people. Ron Paul as President-elect will have profound and potential positive implications not for just the American population but, for every citizen on Earth.

So what will it take to break the obvious and in your face apparent cycle of ignorance that holds the American electorate blind and hostage to the same old rhetoric and failed policies of Presidential administrations since Ronald Reagan?

The opportunity has never been greater; the implications for the world have never been more significant, then for the outcome of the November 2012 presidential election.

It truly is an imperative for not just voting American citizens to be aware of what Republican presidential nominees and President Obama stand for but, that every caring citizen of this World take an interest in what has the potential to be the most important election in the history of the World. A flaming match is but inches away from a global powder-keg that if not doused by a rational mind as presented by Ron Paul’s candidacy, there is no telling how extensive the damage will be when the fuse is finally lit. And there will be no one to blame but ourselves.

(Linking to this YouTube posted will provide an opportunity to realize some background history as to why the United States and the world is in a precarious and dangerous state. Viewers should ignore that the video favors Ron Paul but rather take it as a first step of the many, to becoming better aware to the facts and ideally to break the present and pervasive: Cycle of Ignorance)

Naked Truth in Journalism: Is It Time?


The nightly national and international News does a good job in covering and reporting details of the rebellious and violent protests in Syria that blatantly emphasize President Assad’s regime as the perpetrator to repression and killing of Syrian people.

The first question to be asked of the journalistic reporting of the situation in Syria truly objective journalism or is it an editorializing the situation?

One only need spend a couple of hours on You Tube reviewing results of a search using keywords: “police brutality 2011“, to gain an appreciating to see that what is transpiring in Syria is no different then what is happening around the globe.  Simply put: the common man is rising up against the system/regime in the face of stiff and unrelenting repression and opposition by the ruling authority.

Most, especially given the questionable bias in the majority of western media’s reporting of the Syrian conflict, that to make such a statement is ridiculous but, is it?.

The intention of this article is not to condone the obvious and brutal reaction of the Assad government security and military forces upon those who are in revolt, but to highlight the hypocrisy of western reporting media by inferring the government is the bad guy.  As evidenced by the You Tube videos, the brutality exercised by the Assad government is not more or less than what is happening around the globe (though the Assad forces are using real armament, so too are the Israeli forces and in western countries, police in riot-gear are known apply excessive force and the use of rubber-tipped bullets just as effective in injuring or even killing a protestor)

Any attempt to analyze with a common sense perspective what is happening in Syria and anywhere else in our so-called civilized world, is next to impossible. The simple reason for this is the fact: accurate and unbiased information defining any transgression is virtually impossible to attain. Therefore, how is it possible for any one individual or country, observing the situation, able to confidently draw conclusion as to whose cause is right and whose is wrong in the conflict. Then for whom to advocate support in any form, in their respective cause?

Without doubt, any decent Human-being does not wish or want for others of their species to suffer under any form of hardship however, there comes a time, especially in light of the bias and agenda that can and does distort the truth to a situation, that it is possibly best that a non-interventionist stance be taken.  To let the conflicting parties work out their differences no matter the cost in human life or destruction of property that may ensue?

The only reasonable alternative to this callous statement of position is for those who dedicate themselves to reporting as journalist, the events of the world,  that they begin to do so naked to the truth, free of any bias or editorial opinion in order for the listening public to draw an honest conclusion and response as they interpret the situation.

Could it be time that a Nation of Journalism be created populated by those dedicated to observing and reporting the events of the world free of a credential that ties them to the bias’ perpetrated and/or imposed upon them due to a loyalty to their nation of residence?  A body of independent and truly objective individuals to whom the rest of the world residents feel confident that what is reported in the unvarnished and, Naked Truth,

Question To Engendering Consciousness


‘They are free to commit atrocities like the September 11 attacks not only because the laws of America don’t apply to them, but the laws of God as well.’

( http://dprogram.net/2012/01/13/systematic-silence-about-ndaa-proves-plot-to-destroy-u-s-is-real-vindicating-conspiracy-theorists-saman-mohammadi/#more-100475 )

The above is a statement made in context of the United States signing the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act into law that, in turn, stimulated the following thought:

To think that a world population could be/is oblivious to the total and real power held by those of such supremacy of mind, fearless to anyone, thing or entity, from common man to an atheistic belief in God could be a reality.  Such a Power without remorse or sense of emotional, moral ethics that inhibit an action, an atrocity against any ‘other’ living organism.  This truth’s realization paints a dire and bleak picture for human existence into the future.

With Power so great and seemingly limitless without moral or judicial restraint; what tool of defense can the balance of humanity utilize with any probability of success?

This may prove to be the ultimate Question for humanity to collectively answer before the end of 2012; the heightened state of consciousness purported as integral, though spiritual component, to prophetic legend: Winter Solstice,  2012.

Could it be a possibility the Answer is genetically encoded to All peoples’ mind’s; awaiting the Question posed, giving credence to meaning and resolve, the strength to Action against Power suffering a severe case of amnesia or atrophy to the fact?

The next twelve months whether the mythology surrounding 2012 is realized or not, the year will prove to be one of humanity’s most vibrant and ‘lived’ ever!  Buckle UP!

Truth Be Told


Firstly, just what does the word ‘truth’ mean?
According to an on-line dictionary truth means:
n. pl. truths (trz, truths)

  • 1.Conformity to fact or actuality.
  • 2. A statement proven to be or accepted as true.
  • 3. Sincerity; integrity.
  • 4. Fidelity to an original or standard.
  • 5.a. Reality; actuality.
  • 5 b. often Truth That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.

Of these varied statements relating to the true meaning of truth, for the purposes of this essay, the focus will be on 5b: ‘often Truth That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.’

Arguably, today more then ever, the veracity of this statement is being challenged.

In every sector of cotemporary human existence, in this era of high-tech, instant and wireless communications, if there is one facet to present reality that comes into question is acceptance of that being communicated on a given matter, is fact; FACT in truth.

The spin-doctors of the world have so widely proliferated and pervasively infiltrated all lines of communication from from advertising to media reporting fed to the public 24/7 regardless of the medium, it is increasingly difficult if not impossible, to separate the chaff from the wheat.

The fragility of human presence as an evolving species toward an unscripted reality, the present course if not significantly altered, can only be presumed to end disastrously; without question.

The validity of this claim is easily tested by pursuing the following, simple hypothetical applied by you, the reader:

Confronted by your boss with claim you are responsible for a negative consequence to     your actions, you maliciously but plausibly lie, post the blame on a coworker costing     them their job but, save yourself.  As time goes on, your co-workers who know the truth,     fail to give you their essential co-operation to complete your work. Sooner or later, being     unable to meet your job-related responsibilities, you will end up demoted or worse, fired.

So what does this have to do with the real world, in the bigger picture?

Simply put; Everything!
As stated above, in every sector of human existence be it geo-politics, the economy and finance, religion, health, science, etc,, etc., and especially with the immediacy provided by the Internet, the multiplicity of statements circulating on the same topic, is being communicated bit the question remains; who is telling the truth?

The unfortunate aspect of this harsh reality for everyone is the dire yet real consequence that increasingly has the potential to manifest.

The growing destabilizing events in the Middle East for one, find the world on the precipice to a third world war that has the very real potential to be the last for a very long time.  To paraphrase Einstein who is purported to have commented: If there is to be a World War III, it would likely be fought with nuclear weapons and if so, the next with sticks and stones.

The mire the global community finds itself and, the dire consequences of this situation being far too real to be ignored, unfortunately, pessimistically, the Pandora’s Box being wide open and, the Genii of Doom coursing the world seeking out the perfect storm to make it all happen, is it not just a matter of time?

You be the judge – truth be told!
