What Would Jesus Do?

If Jesus came back and turned water into wine, he would be arrested for serving alcohol w/o a permit. If Jesus came back and did the fish miracle, he would be fined and probably arrested for fishing w/o a license. If Jesus came back and started healing people he would be ordered to cease and desist for practicing medicine w/o a license, and if he continued, he would be sued. If Jesus came back and used cannabis oil to cure cancer patients, he would be locked up in prison for life. If Jesus came back and actually admitted that he was Jesus, he would be locked up in a mental institution and forced to swallow prescription drugs until all he could do would be to drool and stare at the wall.

To Serve And Protect or To Harrass And Violate? That is the question...

 

Pot Smokers Busted On YouTube

(read this article first)

Sheriffs like this should be charged with "conspiracy to prevent a cure for cancer" and possibly additional charges regarding the desire to lock a human being in a cage over a plant that grows naturally on the planet Earth. These officers should be ashamed of themselves, they are only serving to increase the profits of Big Pharma while at the same time causing undo harm and emotional stress to the good peace-loving Rastafarians of the world. Do the enforcers get a cut of the profits made by Big Pharma created by this fake "War on Drugs?" I doubt it... So they are not even rewarded for supporting tyranny.


And all you sheeple that agree with this case, shame on you too! We should all be ashamed of ourselves that we would allow human beings to be locked in a cage over a medicinal plant that has never, ever, ever, ever caused an overdose, where the only harmful effect is laughter and the munchies! I am ashamed to be a member of the human race, we sell out our fellow brothers and sisters for so little these days.


If you want to go a long way towards making this country better for all, you will support the end of drug prohibition. Anyone that would enforce prohibition is supporting as well as enabling gang violence and anarchy in the streets.


Honestly, drug prohibition is used by The Powers That Be to justify the growing police state. Look around you, police officers are armed with M4 Assault Rifles, Combat Shotguns, tear gas and body armor, and crime continues to go up and up. Nothing is getting any better, it is only getting worse. Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the very definition of insanity. By supporting insanity, you also become the victim of an insane world. This is the kind of news report that would make Adolph Hitler a very proud man -- his dream, finally coming true. If you still think you are free, name one thing you can do without a license or a permit? And even then, as long as they can issue a license or permit, they can take it away -- so, essentially we are all slaves just begging for our master to leave us in peace.


I realize that many people become police officers because they want to serve and protect, and to do the right thing by serving their community, and then I'm sure they quit once they realize that is no longer in the job description. Every day it seems I see another YouTube video of a gang of police officers beating up some poor citizen for no reason, or some college student getting tased because he asked John Kerry about being a "Skull and Bones" member, or hear of some murder committed by a police officer because he thought some kid's super soaker was an AK-47. I mean, seriously, when was the last time you heard of a police officer solving a murder rather than committing one?

After all the YouTube videos featuring police brutality how come they are never brought to justice? Probably because they are out and about arresting innocent people for having a good time.

Reject the System (Love)

Love is not control; love is mercy. 
Love is not revenge; love is understanding. 
Love is not about what they think of you; love is about what you think of them. 
Love is not about possession; love is giving all you've got. 
Love is not destruction; love is what leads to creation.

The Story Behind "The Star Spangled Banner"

The other day, I read a comment on Current.com where the attitude was, "Why are you complaining about America? America is still better than X-country, etc." It helped me to realize something. What makes America great is our courage in the face of adversity. It is our ability to stand up for what is right. As much as I respect other cultures, I think sometimes they do not realize that it is our "arrogance" that keeps our government in check. It is why we are the most free land and it is what keeps us free -- we don't put up w/ the bullocks!


A great speech follows Alex's rant. Get past the rant, this speech will bring tears to your eyes. I can't believe we did not learn this in school, or if we did, it was not emphasized.

 

When enough positive energy permeates every intention, the effect on the world will be overwhelming.

Ladies and Gentlemen, You Are Under Arrest!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, you are under arrest!" - said by Police Officer in video. Translation: We are taking away your right to protest, but at least we are polite about it.

Money & Fame (Face Your Shame)

They've got you chasing money and fame
Money and fame
They've got you chasing money and fame
Money and fame

Every time you kill a man
You kill a prophet
Now is time to take a stand
You better get up off it
When you see wreckage across the land
You'll do best to stop it


The misery in a child's cries
Is only a mystery to your eyes
When you walk away and scoff it


Allow love to break into your heart
Learn to see all that as art
Have the courage not to quit
Before you start


They've got you chasing money and fame
Money and fame
They've got you chasing money and fame
Money and fame


When the time is right
You'll know my name
Does not matter how many
Are in this game
Before we get to the glory
You have to face the shame

Lines In The Sky

I see white lines being drawn in the sky
Military choppers flying by
Lord, help me to
Understand the reason why...
Why we die
Why we die
While we die...

Ask God to take away your fear
Causing temptation, desire, and ego
It's not about where we are
It's all about where we go
Don't you worry your little head, I know
It's never easy when your always
On the go


Yeah, I know...
Yeah, I know...

If Life Was A Football Game

If life was a football game, the commentators you see on TV talking about the game would be our political leaders. They talk a lot about the game, they seem to know more about the game than you, they often have personal relationships with the coaches, players, and sometimes even the suit-and-tie-guys. These commentators even manage to display a sense of humor from time to time, so we like them, but their only real purpose is to keep us occupied, to keep us focused on the game even when not much is happening.


Then you have all the various coaches. These are the high ranking generals and colonels in comparison to the "real" world. When the game is on, these guys are the ones in command. The entire focus is on the coaches and the players now, and the coaches realize it is time for them to shine or bow their heads in shame. They know they only have a short season in which to triumph and show the world who's boss. They care about their soldiers (the NFL players), some more than others, but when the game is on, the only thing that truly matters to the coach is winning the battle. One guy goes off on a stretcher, the other guy replaces him.


Next we have the champions, the NFL players, the soldiers, if you will. These are the people that the average person watching the game look up to. These are the champions that everyone aspires to be like, they are the warriors, the brave ones that overcome the limits of physical reality. We cheer for them, we thank them for their bravery, but few of us could ever be one. More that just courage, to be a champion it takes mental fortitude, sacrifice, discipline, blood, sweat, and tears -- but in the end they are awarded the glory or walk away with the shame.


Then you have the support staff and the cheerleaders. These are the people you see on TV and the ones behind the scenes that support the message of, "Go! Fight! Win!" It does not matter to them how the team is playing, the only thing that matters is that they are there to cheer the team on and keep the player's spirits high.


Hiding in the shadows you always have the suit-and-tie-guys. The suits are the ones that own the teams, they own the commentators, they own the arenas, but even they do not own the game. However, even though they do not own the game, some of them often think they do, and they act like it, but they still have a master that no one ever sees. The suits are the kings of the arena, the controllers of the game, master's of destiny, but they do not have the power to change the game, only the power to maintain the illusion of the status quo. The suits are the Merlins controlling the Knights.


Lastly, we come to the audience, the fans. The fans get to dress up like the players; they often act and feel like they own the team. They even get to scream and yell and behave like their opinion is going to change the outcome of the game, but the hard truth is, they are merely spectators. Even their fantasy football bets (voting) do not have any affect on the game what so ever, but it does cause them to root a little harder for one of the teams. 

It would seem that the fans have absolutely no power at all, however, that is the biggest illusion. Because the minute the fans stop coming to the arena, the minute the fans stop buying tickets and merchandise and the beer brand that supports their team, the commentators start to get fired, the coaches get fired, players lose contracts, even the "All Powerful" suits get fired and disappear and are never heard from again. 


But as long as the fans start to come back to the arena, the game goes back to the way it was. We are again lulled into a sense of complacency. New faces fill the rolls of the commanders, controllers, players, etc., and the game goes on. For as long as "Our Team" keeps winning we'll keep on rooting for them to win!

Ode To My Father (We The People Revisited)

My father used to always repeat the phrase, "Who guards the guards?" He would sometimes just say it out of the blue, more than likely he was thinking of something related but unsaid, but most of the time he said it whenever he noticed someone of "Authority" going too far, or pushing their weight around.


In recent years, as I have witnessed the increase of tyranny around the world -- both here in the states and abroad -- that phrase of my father's has often come to mind. Who does guard the guards?


The Administrators? No... Quite the opposite, if anyone is responsible for the actions of the guards, it is the administrators that unleash them. Remember, most guards, enforcers, police officers, and soldiers are just following orders. So who guards the guards?


There is only one answer: WE THE PEOPLE!


We the people are responsible for policing the police, if you will. If we do not stand up against tyranny, the tyranny continues, and will continue to go unchecked and become progressively worse. That is, until WE THE PEOPLE stand up for our rights not only as citizens, but as human beings gifted with a creative soul, that spark that can only come from a Creator or Creative Force or Source. So tyranny is not only an affront to WE THE PEOPLE, it is also (by default) an affront to the All Mighty.


We must begin to think of all forms of tyranny as a cancer of the worst kind, for it is historically the worst thing to ravage through mankind as well as the natural world. No one is free from tyranny once it rears it's ugly head. If you are merely a witness to tyranny, you are still a victim of it. If you are an enforcer of tyranny, you are still a victim of it. Tyranny effects us all negatively, and only a very select few receive any sort of benefit from it. Yet, even the administrators of tyranny are still imprisoned by the destructive forces it unleashes. A truly compassionate individual that cares for humanity as well as the future generations must stand up to tyranny -- one must realize that their is no other choice. For if you bow before tyranny, perhaps you escaped the gallows today, but you walk away a coward, always haunted by that same tyranny. For if you walk away a coward, it is only a matter of time before you either become the victim or the usurper -- either way, all compassion is killed by the force of subjugating power.


Tyranny is anti-compassion. We must learn to love one another again, not lust after, but truly be willing to die for one another in order to preserve the nature of freedom. In death, one is set free. This is why tyranny and torture is such a vile thing, for it can last a lifetime and beyond unless the common wealth of the people begin to realize that freedom is the only way to live, without freedom you are simply a beggar waiting to die.


Finally, I would like to thank my father. He was an immigrant, and he taught me, a natural born citizen, a lot more about freedom than I ever learned in public school. It took me this long to answer his question, however, even now I can feel him smiling at me from the Other Side. Who guards the guards? We The People.

Slogan For The Future

Here is an alternative solution that WILL save the economy and begin HEALING the world, albeit, an absolutely crazy one... Space ships! We must build space ships! End the war now, create a world where everyone receives a stellar education, and then build space ships! There are too many people, we have to get to Mars! Terra-forming Mars combined with the pioneering spirit of sending as many people to Mars as possible (that are willing to go) -- this will not only transform the world economy, it will also give people real hope and inspiration! And don't give me that bullocks about not being able to do it, of course we can! Yes WE can! Here is the slogan: "Make Space Ships Not Tanks!"


"Make Love, Not War" is still a favorite of mine, but that was so 1960's! And it seems like people don't really make love anymore anyway, they just put up with the bump n' grind. Here is the slogan for the future! It is 2010, we are officially in the future! Make Space Ships Not Tanks!

The Last War

He was a survivor of the Last War, one of the few, and so when he spoke, the children listened. "There was a time when a dark magic was cast over the world. The people were in a trance, the leaders were addicted to greed and to power, and magic paper caused men to rape and pillage Our Great Mother." One of the children spoke up, "What is power?" The old man, though he was very wise, could not explain this to a child in any way that he or she would understand. There was no "power" anymore, for the people had learned to speak for themselves.


The children began asking more questions. "What is war?" asked the loudest one.
"Yes," began more of the children, "tell us about the Last War."


A great sadness came over the old man. He was very tired of war, so tired. Even though the memories were all that was left, the horror was always lurking in the shadows of his mind. "War," began the old man. Tears were streaming down his bearded face as the memories drew near. "War... There was a time when those who were possessed by power sent those with only heart to die for their greed. Legions of madmen walked over the dead in blood soaked boots. But there was hope, as long as there is humanity, there is always hope. When those who prayed for peace realized they vastly outnumbered those that prayed for death... It was only a matter of time."

The old man became sad again. "One should never seek to go to war, one should only seek to stop it. Yet, there was a time when the spell had not yet been broken, and the land was always in peril."


The old man stopped and stared off into the sky, as if listening to some inner voice. He did not want to speak to the children any more. It was good that they did not understand war, very good. He could only pray that they never would.

How I Feel About the NWO and One World Government

Here it is, my well thought out and documented opinion. This pretty much says it all.

Original Sin

Dear God, put me in front of that dagger
So that I can prove Your will is true
Dear God, put me in front of that dagger
So that I can defend everything that rings true
Dear God, just don't let the evil
Run amok before Your legend comes true

The pyramid has every mystery locked within
We know where to end but do we know where to begin?
Was this the original text or just the original sin?
There is more to what I thought than where I have been...
Did you find the one that loves your smile, your ever-present grin?
Just another
Just another
Just another
Day in which we begin
Did you see the original
Were you the original
The original sin?

Final Hour

I'm such a lonely loser, baby
Can you see what a terrible
Piece of shit
I turned out to be?

Nothing like I promised, just me
No pot of gold at the end of this rainbow
Only compassion and understanding
Lord, I'm just another lost soul

Only God knows how much I cry for you, babe
Only God knows why I'd lie to you, babe
But only you know why I'd die for you, babe

So much misery in a dream of like mind
Will you find the key
That unlocks our perception
This time?

I can tell you why the wise men sing
While the politicians cringe
Only my heart will I bring to the fight this time
When the flames start to singe

It seems to me that only the wicked crave power
When all that bears fruit goes sour
How long will they last
If this is our final hour?

You Say You Want A Revolution?

Stimulus plan designed to create hyperinflation and kill the dollar -- check. Escalating a war against the wishes of the nation, further straining our over-stressed military -- check. Giving Interpol diplomatic immunity in the USA, effectively legalizing a foreign invasion of force -- check. Introducing scanners at airports, effectively making the porn industry pale in comparison to airport security -- check. Increasing the police state beyond all reason or justification -- check. Can anyone think of anything else The Powers That Be can do to destroy our fair land?

Oh... Almost forgot about the plague and ManBearPig!

Philip K. Dick was the visionary writer that inspired Minority Report, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, They Live, Blade Runner. He had this "crazy" theory back in the 70's that the Roman empire never died and was still in control. Interestingly enough, if you do the research, the same 12 families still own most (if not... all) of the resources on the planet. Remember, tyranny is not an -ism, it just is.

Time is a Wave

Time is a wave. In the morning the water is calm and it seems to pass unnoticed. At night the tide draws near, renewing the edge of civilization. Every once in a while there comes a tsunami and suddenly everything is moving too fast, and for a moment it seems as if all hope is lost. Then the waters recede once again and a new age is born from the shore.

A Different Perspective On Security

In this day and age, if a red-blooded "Born in the U.S.A." patriot that loves his/her country were to pass through HS at the airport and say they noticed he was wearing a pocket knife, or (God forbid) a nail clipper, perhaps even some funny looking bottle of water -- this American Citizen could ( or likely would) be detained and grilled by Homeland Security, maybe even locked up in a jail cell without trial or jury.

Now let's say this same person passed through undetected. The plane leaves the ground without a hitch. People, even the skittish travelers, begin to calm down as tiny silver bags with peanuts and drinks are passed slowly, yet courteously, down the isle. Suddenly, a man leaps out of his seat and grabs one of the flight attendants -- the pretty one, the one you were trying to work up the courage to talk to, but will probably just say thank you to and then utter something stupid that she didn't find funny -- then the stewardess shrieks as her attacker puts his other hand around her throat and threatens to snap her neck! What's worse yet, is this strange man claims to have a bomb.

Unfortunately for this terrorist, he picked a spot just in front of our stealthy, shall we call him Captain America? Let's consider that nothing upsets this homegrown American street punk, than to see someone invading his territory and then holding such a pretty lady hostage. Nope, not much else could boil his blood like a good ol' fashioned villain threatening to do harm to some poor miss. Too bad for Mr. Terrorist, Captain America was raised not to back down to such threats.

A hush. A hulking shadow leaping into the isle. The dangerous man turning too... A shriek as the crunch of bone is heard! Feinting as the blood pours out of the hole in the back of Mister Bad Guy's neck. Captain America's blade making a sucking sound and then an audible pop as he pulls his blade from the attacker's skull. A few more shrieks, a couple more passengers feint, but ultimately there is an audible sigh, a great relief of tension as the passengers realize that another crisis has been averted. A sudden realization brings the plane to an astounding round of applause for their hero.

Only that is not what happened. While Captain America was on the ground being detained, a terrorist did slip on to the plane unnoticed. A terrorist did manage to take a young girl hostage. And even though the terrorist did not have a bomb, no one knew that when he threatened it. They were afraid. Of course they believed him! He was a terrorist!

You just turned on the evening news. What you see is that, although "The Authorities" managed to detain one terrorist at the airport, another slipped on board the plane unnoticed. In a monotone voice void of emotion, the news reporter continues to say that this plane "happened" to crash into a government building. The overall point-of-view being expressed is that "We" need to invest even more into "protecting our security."

Morale of the story? Fear of terrorism is giving in to terrorism.
