We are all subject to the reality called human nature.

Speaking out against power structures does not scare me one bit. Been there done that… Not being able to speak out against them should scare the living hound dog bejeebus out of you if you “think” you can’t.

The (Seattle Police Department) SPD have had about a dozen cars on 4th Ave., along with their big mobile unit to keep an eye on the protesting in downtown for the last couple of weeks or more. This morning, they had two of their cars up inside the staging area that was full of protestors. Very few protesters this morning ( Saturday morning 10-22-11). SPD is a scary bunch; I think they like it that way…I could be wrong.

With all of the other things that go on in this little fishing village, you would think that they could better use the police elsewhere. That would be the logical presumption. However, what it is truly illustrating is that they have been ordered there by those who are nervous and looking to reclaim the illusions of freedoms. The illusions they spin out to the masses with the message, “Remain calm…All is well.” Think of Kevin Bacon in Animal House, it works better that way.

The powers that be simply can't have a body of people that stand up without being told to stand up. I have heard it said the police are part of the 99%. Well, as long as they support the 1%, they are simply part of the problem. Of course, don’t tell a police person that fact. They will get busy discussing probable cause towards you. Next thing you know, many will converge on you and fit you for a pair of cuffs or zip ties while you get kissing- intimate with the concrete.

You have the right to be free just as long as it is on somebody else’s terms. That is the part of the illusion that some just don’t want the people to see. Nor do those so oblivious to the world around them want to ever consider. They are content, nervously looking at their status updates to see if anyone clicked the like button.

I think our society is nothing more than a set of controlled, staged moments of chaos that allows the viewers to feel that there is some sort of freedom. The freedom of reaching for the remote to see the menu of the upcoming show about whispers behind the back for the ultimate goal of a million dollars. The whole time saying trust me, trust me. Then, in that moment of lapsed reason, somebody who is trusted burns the other; all for the lust of a million dollars. It is no wonder the trust factor is being eliminated.

The elite are loving the fact that this society is lulled into a fantasy of being rich quick. They love how the message is screw your team member and you too can have what we have. Truth is, the message is about ratings and advertising. Sucking people into a maze of lies that sound so familiar. Mind you, if enough people stop paying attention to the pea and shell game, the elite will play their ace in the hole. They will pull the leash really hard. Perhaps a few at a time, not all of them all at once. Recall when the gasoline prices surged to the point of almost needing a second mortgage to buy a tank of gas? Recall the reverberating effects on the grocery bill? Etc. etc. etc… Ahem! It was not that long ago.

You’ll know when the leash is being pulled. Pulled for real. The real presentation of their ability to show off their power. The food supply will be cut off. Why do you think there were news stories about Amish farmers being arrested for milk? Competition in dairy products? Can’t have it! Arrest those radical farmers immediately. Whip up panic about the food supply being unsafe. The masses will go into a controlled panic. Another staged series of controlled chaos.

Once it is concluded that supply lines need to be cut completely, those that are armed to the teeth will do the bidding of the elite without ever being told. A thinning of the heard if you will. Many will be hired to protect and serve the elite after proving themselves good marksmen. The lights will get turned back on and those left standing will bow to the elite yet again.

All the power structure is waiting for is an excuse. Look at the results of September eleventh in the year two thousand and one. Just look at the rape of your fourth amendment. I will presume the readership is fully aware of all the atrocities that resulted from the above mentioned date.

That being said, you shouldn’t let that keep you from striving to make changes. It is simply that people need to fully grasp what they are up against. Be fully aware of the outcomes and all of the possibilities. Know this: the outcomes are limited to the fact that it is people making things happen. People are rather predictable creatures. Marching with big signs and chanting eat the rich is, at best, a symbolic gesture. One that is being watched and manipulated for later use against those who are demanding change.

Bits and pieces will be sifted out that can be turned into profit yet again. Most likely, t-shirts with key figures silk screened on the front. Iconic imagery to sell to those reaching for some sort of hip status that will never be attained. They will bald, many year from now, thinking they were there when, in fact, they weren’t even close. But hey, the t-shirt looks cool for a moment.

Young, idealist revolutionaries that chant over their half caff, 2% milk coffee drink that is overpriced. We were young revolutionaries; we had a cause! When asked what it was they revolted against, most will have no real clue. They simply followed the fashion of revolution and now bitch about the mess they are in.

I think the reading of George Orwell’s Animal Farm should be mandatory for any budding revolutionaries out there. It clearly shows how revolutions work combined with the disturbing reality of the outcome of mass revolt. It goes to the predictable creatures statement.


Those in the elite power structure seem to be forgetting the elements of revolution to some extent. But they, like anyone else once frightened, will start looking at necessary avenues of survival. They will explore every scenario and spare no expense to save themselves. (Pay close attention to new legislation that will be coming up to change how credit unions will work…)

What better method than to appear to listen to the protesting and toss some crumbs of hope to those complaining. The crumbs are taken and short-sighted, hollow victories lull yet another generation back to sleep. If you don’t think that is happening, just watch. It is happening right now. It is exciting, but the human factor will always trump the excitement in the end.

It comes down to not losing your freedoms…ones you never really had to begin with. Hard pill to swallow. You only think you had/have them unless you are living off the grid in a completely self-sustained area that is not subject to federal law enforcement / raids. Get used to this reality. You are subject to whatever the elite want from you. It has been the same story throughout history. It ain’t changing either. We are all subject to the reality called human nature.

It is getting even more dicey with each passing decade as the worlds’ population grows at an ever faster rate. That implies more police type people are needed; crowd control and all. People are born and the birth represents another being that is going to have needs. If they represent no usefulness, they will be eliminated or simply ignored. Same difference…

Look to the countries that have huge segments of their population starving while the warlords are eating real good. See the trend? Think that we, the almighty U.S.A., are not immune to the pesky symptom called human nature?

Thinking that this is all some sort of grand adventure or exercise in fiction writing? Thinking that this is too much? Thinking that the writer has lost his mind? Thinking that the writer is going over to the dark side of extreme paranoia? Thinking that this is all just a bunch of negative dribble from a middle-aged whiner that has given up?

Think again. Think for a third time. Just at least think. It is the one place your freedom is safe from the oppressors mentioned throughout this collection of words.

Beware of the steps you take. Protect yourself. Don’t fall for some mass consumption revolution that will be out of fashion and forgotten in a year. Listen carefully to the words that are used. Don’t let anyone trample on your freedom to think for yourself.

Your vote is of no actual consequence. Or is it?

So many camps have been set up over the years. Those that have. Those that have nothing. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Tea Party, Coffee Party. This party that party. The young. The old. The ones in the middle of youth and elderly.

The thing that I see more of nowadays, as opposed to 30 years ago, is a bigger gap between those that have and those that have less or nothing. Those that have nothing seem to be larger in numbers. Please keep in mind, if someone has nothing to lose, their desperation will be that much more. The one thing they get is more desperate. Why not? They have nothing to lose anyway. While ignoring the undercurrent of desperation that is growing, beware of the hungry. Their numbers are growing.

Those that have seem to be more worried about having to face some tax reform. Tax reform ain't going to happen as long as the bought & sold elected keep making the laws or not changing the laws. The fact is, they will never change laws that take money out of their pockets.

Politicians don’t take cuts in their income. They don’t get laid off. They are all supported economically by tax dollars yet rail against programs that give tax dollars to the citizens of the country that supposedly elected them. Umm…be advised, that goes for all of them. All of them have a target, funded by tax dollars, that they want to squeeze or cut off completely. Politicians are nothing more than welfare recipients. Let me point that out again: Politicians are nothing more than welfare recipients.

Both sides talk of cuts to everyone else’s programs but they never take a cut in pay or get laid off. They get excellent government health care and a government pension. Oh! And the tax dollar supported perks such as free transportation in gas guzzling vehicles. They never pay for parking. Yet they have zero problem taking that away from non- elected government employees or the private sector.

The elected are bought and sold. I really wish that more actually understood the implications of that fact. The elected do not represent the voters. It's a lie. Those who buy into this notion that we live in a free election society scare me most of all. They truly think that their vote, especially on the national level, is going to have impact.

Well it does, in a sense. There is impact on the senate and the congress. They are elected by the voters. But the vote really goes to whatever corporations funded the election campaigns. So you voted for a virtual figure-head of a corporation. Feel better?

It could work as simple as this (and most likely does): A congress person has the endorsement of the local V.F.W. hall that just happens to sit on property next to a mega store that wants to expand. Who is going to give the candidate more money. The V.F.W. or the mega store? The V.F.W. might look really cool in those sound bytes on T.V., they aren’t going to come close to the money mega store can. You know that. Yet the politicians bang the drum of getting the endorsement from the V.F.W. No mention of mega store and the huge contribution that will take over the V.F.W. hall property about halfway through the term. Then, just like that, *POOF* a new parking lot for the mega store and no more V.F.W. hall. The congress person can spin a new story for the next election about creating jobs for the asphalt industry.

How are the voters making their choices? Based on party rhetoric? Or based on the sound bytes? Sound bytes that are funded by the corporations that pay for the air time? I truly suspect that the majority of voters base their choices on the advertisements they see in between the fashionable television program they are watching. They may hear talk around their friends and just get to a point of hypnosis that lulls them into voting for charisma and flash. The idea of independent candidates is scoffed at as if almost by a gag reflex. Most think they are wasting their vote on an independent.

**** TA DAH!!! ****

The elite just whipped you into submission by convincing you that the popular vote is of zero consequence. Hence…your vote is actually of no relevance. It inspires low voter turnouts. Or my least favorite reason for casting a vote: “I voted for the lesser of two evils.”. Utter nonsense. By voting for the lesser, you just helped the elite achieve their goal to call the shots with their puppet. No pride in a wasted vote. No pride at all.

That is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard. I do take pride in not voting for the lesser of two evils.

Those who vote on the basis of lesser of two evils are scary indeed. They are voting based on fear. They fear both and yet still support the evil. Scary logic. Simply don’t vote for evil. It sounds ridiculous to even say it.

Those whiney, back-pedaling voters are exactly what the elite need to continue their rule. Along with keeping the voter lulled into some notion of every vote counts. In the end, those illogical voters support the institutions of corporate greed then use the lame excuse… “I voted, I did my part.” Damn Skippy you did. You just supported the elite yet again. The elite who do all sorts of things you don’t like. Yet you continue to vote for them. Stop supporting the elite. Stop it. Stop voting for the lesser, vote for the better and if there is not one, stay home and be proud you did not participate in the sham. Or vote for the independent or anybody but those supported with big money. Vote for yourself, write it in.

The independent can’t get the expensive airtime nor the recognition from the press as being a viable candidate. The lulled voter thinks that they are wasting their vote on any party other than the Democrats or the Republicans. So tell me again how it is my votes count? The votes have already been tallied by those financially supporting the puppets you call the freely elected. One independent in the U.S. Senate does not a democracy by the people for the people make.

Puppets do as they are directed to. A politician is nothing more than a puppet. They answer to those who contribute large sums of money. Follow the money. I will listen to the idea that we are in a system with free elections, I just don't buy it anymore. It is a great concept that the elite really hope you buy. Most likely they hope that this observation will be dismissed.

There is no shame in admitting that one is not looking into the details. The shame falls on those who manipulate the populace. The illusion of freedom is all around us. It is like a drug that keeps many from revolting against the system. The greatest trick that has been played on the 'Merican public.

The foundation of this country was built on slavery and genocide. Well here we are in 2011. The elite call the shots. As they did in the beginning. Not the voter. So all these little flare-ups from people who are fed up and tick off those whose illusions they are challenging. Much like a dope addict, no dope addict wants to be told to give up their drugs. Those suffering the delusions don’t want to be told they have been suckers.

After 45 laps around the sun. I really wonder what it is going to take to make any actual change. As long as the voters are under the illusion of freedom, not much is going to change. At least they voted for the lesser of two evils. Wink, wink.

Perhaps after reading this you might think twice about the power of voting and spread the word? Maybe? But much like this lone voice in the cyber-wilderness your voice is one until the word spreads and we all start calling it as it is.

Stop supporting the power structure. Just stop it. Or??? Vote against it. I support the idea of writing in your own name and to hell with the power addicts in the elite. They wrote you and I off from about the time we were born anyway. Or, keep doing the same thing over and over and stop complaining about the situation you contributed to.

Earlier this year, I announced that my vote is for sale. It still is to the highest bidder. It is the most logical step in this money-driven system of election. Until the system is cleansed of the “ol' boy network” it will not change much.

Bicycling is hazardous to your health.

Sadly so far this year there have been deaths as a result of riding bicycles in and around Seattle city traffic. People riding wrapped in steel, with airbags and seat restraints involved in collisions with bicycles don’t die. The bicycle rider has no real protection.

Why should I ride a bicycle? Better for my health???

Sure my health will be of great concern after colliding with a 3000 pound object at 30 mph or more, as the internal organs pop like grapes inside. Dental records to identify me after the facial features are scraped off my skull from the pavement.

Why should I ride a bicycle? Better for the environment?

The only way it will save the environment is one less person on the planet consuming natural resources. After being killed by heavy objects that could crush me. But that can happen at any time without riding a bicycle in the traffic. Seems to me the odds of survival are greatly diminished when one hops on their eco friendly mode of transport.

I remember as a kid, if ya’ got told to go play in traffic it was an invitation to go get hurt or die.

I see riders everyday disobeying the rules of the game called traffic. I see drivers do it as well. I must say it seems like a fantasy to get on a bicycle and think you will be treated with respect and that others are going to be paying attention to you. The oblivious people are not only in cars.

In our rapidly growing self absorbed smart phone distracted way of life, getting on a bicycle is simply not smart. You might think I am part of the problem for those who wish to play in traffic.

The difference is I’m not playing in traffic nor do I wish to ask anyone to go play in traffic. It is not a game to operate a high speed object that has the potential to extinguish life. It is for real. Not a game. I do wish the bicycle advocates would start to see that.

I thought of getting a bicycle for the fun of it a while ago. Because really that is what it boils down to they can be fun to ride, but it is no fun to ride amongst distracted angry drivers that have the ability to mow me down.

End hunger now...

Limitless or Trapped?

Pondering…faith or no faith? The idea of faith and all the splintered choices. Those who willingly shout down anyone who is of faith. All very confusing at moments. If “ANYTHING” is possible and the options are limitless…to say absolutely for sure without a doubt there is only one way to think. Makes me wonder even more about the danger of judging others and condemning them for a belief that is different from theirs. Now if people of faith are taught tolerance, what are people of no faith taught?

The term liberal has been distorted beyond recognition. I was of the understanding that a liberal point of view was one of tolerance. However, many who claim to be of the liberal ilk are very quick to condemn and spout their disrespect for those of a faith that has teachings of tolerance. Ahem…I think that tolerance is the cornerstone in most faiths. Yes, I know there are those who still think that stoning should come back to the market square. I think it is safe to say that public stoning is not what most people want to see. Sadly, some of no faith would gladly go behind the jailhouse and stone people of faith to death. Same goes for the extremists of some faiths.

Now this is not just for those of faith. Oh no, no, no. It goes to political ideology as well and even more so. People die for other peoples beliefs. They die over it. I wonder how that is justified? Sometimes they die in the battlefield. Sometimes in riots on the streets. People with no faith or political ideology get caught in the midst of violence over disagreements between two other groups. Some people are condemned to death by a system that claims it carrying out justice. Even those condemned to death have groups protesting it.

Again, all ideologies or faith structures have blood on them. The blood of their fellow man. It’s been that way forever. I really get to wondering when I hear the phrase “anything is possible”. It means so many things to so many that simply are not capable of coming to any sort of agreement. We are seeing it everyday.

If, in fact, “anything is possible”, it implies that everybody has been wrong over the history of the human experience. AND it implies that everybody has been correct. Now some will argue you can’t have it both ways. Well why not? If anything is possible, especially on the subject of faith, why can’t you have it both ways? One group of faith that is a sovereign nation and has a seat in The United Nations shows that you can have it any way you want. All you got to do is go to confession and all is forgiven. No matter what crime was committed against the fellow human. Seems to me they found a loophole.

Of course, the problem arises from those who are in one camp and look at the other camps and condemn them. Not very accepting is it? Yet, one on one, they will tell you how much tolerance they have for the other side. Makes no sense…if there has to be other sides then why belong to any group? Sounds like fear to me. Standing alone and raising your fist to the oppressor is a terrifying prospect.

It is true that there is safety in numbers. On the other hand, one on one, some will let their hatred for those who do not have the same belief structure flow like a raging river. At the end their exhausting rant, they will sit back with a certain smugness of superiority that is most frightening.

Most of the time, at the end of a rant, it is concluded with…“They’re all a bunch of fucking idiots.” Most of the time when I hear that conclusion, I have to ask myself, “How bright is the person that has resorted or retreated to the name calling vocabulary of (at best) a fourteen year old? Then it just comes back to “anything is possible“. That being said, then nothing is possible as well.

I have had the pleasure of meeting many intelligent, educated, well-read people who simply seem to lose their mind when it comes to such topics of faith or political ideology. It does show that “anything is possible“. Some of the most educated people can become the most ruthless barbarians given half a chance; ready to believe that nothing is possible as long as there is opposition.

Mostly I think it boils down to this: people don’t like to be told how to live. That being said, there are some people who have almost orgasmic joy out of telling you and I how to live. They thrive on being overlords, if you will. Challenge those people and watch what happens. They will show what honor means to them. They will go to any length to smear you publicly and privately. They will spend countless hours making sure you learn that you do not tell them what to do or, for that matter, dispute them. “Click!” They don’t like being told what to do either; especially from anyone that they disagree with.

Seems that there is a protest for just about everything these days. Seems that there is a lot of fear and apprehension. From all sides. The world is still turning at the same speed, it is just plodding along and the inhabitants squabble continually.

I wonder if it is possible for the north and south pole to get jealous of the polarization that is going on? Is this what some meant by the idea of the shifting of the polar caps?

One of the things I have noticed in all of this is that many still live inside of some very old and worn out ideas. Ideas that were relevant back in the immediate years of post-World War Two. It has been over for a long time and many of the ripples still keep lapping to shore.

Like any ocean that has been polluted, the pollutants end up on the beach and we look at it with disgust. We ask…“Who could do such a thing?” Something needs to be done to see to it that pollution is not there.


Attacking others over their ideology or their faith or their whatever is not going to go away anytime soon. That is my cynical conclusion. My optimistic conclusion is very different, yet it requires a part of the human condition to be removed from the nature of the visitor called humans.

As a self-proclaimed student of the human creature, the one common factor that always seems to mess up my optimistic, utopian notion of living in harmony is other’s unquenchable thirst and lust for power. It is recorded throughout history.

Is anything possible? I simply will lead by example. I will make mistakes along the way that I already accept. Is nothing possible? No. Choosing to do something is a part of anything, even if it is nothing.

TAX REFORM? Do you actually want it or just hope that some programs go away while others…

If the I.R.S. can put check boxes on the forms for donating extra money to political parties, then why not offer “true” tax reform?

I want to see a tax reform that lets me decide whether or not I should pay elected officials my share of tax dollars that are taken “without” my consent. In other words…

I don’t willingly pay taxes to elected anybodies; they simply take them. Each and every day. 24 - 7. How is that being represented? Well, it is not. You know that. If you have not figured that out, I suggest you read about “taxation without representation”.

I don’t vote for many of the elected buffoons that reap the reward of my spending. They get the pennies, etc., etc., without my say so and then decide where to spend the monies they did not earn. Who came up with this stupidity? Well, it is time to say enough!

We need real tax reform. If we can’t get it, then I strongly urge we go back to the barter system; then the tax dollars are not taken away from people. You choose each and every day to live under a system that steals from you.

I think if the I.R.S. is taking your tax dollars, you should be able to have the choice to say nope, I am not paying for a local mayor, or a county seat, city council, congress people senators, presidents, etc., etc., etc., etc. How about judges that have their head in the clouds (I am being nice on that point); positions occupied by somebody who shares none of the same values as I do.

Do you see that each and every day that you use the government money as a form of barter, that you have just been sucked into the most ingenious trap ever? Use gold? Use silver? I don’t know, but it seems to me that “We The People” could stand up and say, (well, so much for nice language) “Bull Shit! You failed to represent me, so I should not have to pay you any further. So for the next however many years, you can just sit there and pout for free. Or how about resigning?”.

So all of you who don’t want to pay taxes for certain things get to choose where the money goes. End the absolute criminal larceny that has been going on for about 200 years and get on with real tax reform. Is that not why the people fled those monarchies? They faced enormous odds, yet they fled oppression and, then, in many cases became the oppressors. Words were written to offer hope for the oppressed and where are you now? Are you tied to your servitude in the disguise of a 30 year mortgage or that 6 year car loan? How about that credit card that nags you each and every month; the one you used for that emergency? It nags you at 19%. Legal loan sharking.


Remove tax breaks? Add tax breaks? Well, if the government forms can have check boxes for political donations then they can sure as hell have check boxes for those who get paid and those who do not get paid.

Are you for a military? Then check the box that says yes, pay the soldiers.

Are you for the president? Then check the box that says yes, pay the president.

Are you for paying to help the impoverished? Then check the box that says yes, pay.

Are you for paying for anything that you believe in? Then check the box that says yes, pay.

Ahem!!!! I strongly urge you check the box for the county hospital and fire departments, along with the ambulance service.

Gas tax, sin tax, car tabs, etc., etc., etc. The government is elected and appoints their tax thieves each and every day and you/we pay for it. Then you/I bitch about taxes or the tax breaks for those who infiltrated the government and lined their pockets with the fruits of their labor. Maybe we/I need to infiltrate the government and change it?

Crazy, crazy insanity!?!?!

Chris, you cannot start picking and choosing in a mob rule… excuse me, a democracy… excuse me, a democratic society, who gets paid and who does not!

Oh really??? What about taxation without representation? Let me please state that the one bill I no longer wish to pay for is war. That’s right, you heard me, let GWB and all his cronies who started the wars pay for them.

Another thing, why in the hell am I paying anything to an appointed president when it comes to his pension? I warned you all before he left Texas as governor that he was nothing more than a murderer. And yet??? Yet some of my tax dollars go to that twit in the form of a pension that no war criminal deserves. Yes, I said it! GWB is a war criminal. He is simply because he was ignorant enough to listen to the war profiteers around him. That alone is no excuse; the buck stopped with him and he gladly put it in his fricken pockets.

There should be a check box for surviving presidents and the choice of absorbing the cost of the secret service staff that protect them. If you believe in the appointed president and his staff, then you can pay for it. Just check the box. Pick a survivor and attach the label as needed. Then check your box yes or no.  


Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what are you going to do about it, Chris? What are you going to say to the people who agree with you, Chris? Well, I am not absolutely sure what to say…

BUT! If people do not say something, then what?!?!?

…but if we continue on with the same old same old crud, nothing will change. That fact is simple. The point is that taxation without representation needs to effing stop!

Oh wait? Was that journey from the other reaches of the earth to this “grand” country called the good ol’ U.S.A. just a dream?

Are you dreaming of freedom?

Freedom from oppression?

Well then, why do the masses continue to pay their masters who continually keep the boot heel on their necks in the form of taxation without representation? Why???

Now we all get to pay for it. Like it or not, you and I bought it. Find those who can represent you or shut the hell up and stop giving them the tax dollars; fund something you believe in.

I wish you all well and hope that one day we can truly break free from the oppression.

Chris…
