The religion of American Consumerism

It is Christmas Eve ladies and gentlemen. Which means that we are in a full scale panic no matter where we are or what field we work in. Stores are struggling to make those last sales as the Christian heros of the Nation have made it a sin to work the holiday thus cutting into our profit making and forcing us to stay at home with family members we don't even like. Our streets are clouded with the smokey reminders that tomorrow is THE day that we all work up to and it's only downhill from there because the only thing we have left of the year is New Year's Eve and that's of no concern to us as long as they have our liquor on tap and don't argue with us about driving but not being able to stand.

As we stand in disgust with our Government not taking care of our problems with the economy for us, we spend money that we don't have and allow ourselves to be minipulated in getting credit cards in the holiday spirit. Fuck the holiday spirit I say. The streets full of the greedy trying to get that last minute deal with not consideration that maybe we shouldn't be turning left into a full line of oncoming traffic just because we "have somewhere to be".

The first sticky snow fell last night making this panic even more real as people fake the holiday hooplah when they are really miserable on the inside. Again, spending time with family because we have to and not because we want to. We feel obligated to this Christmas panic. It's become a tradition to feel the heavy weight of being let down when we realize that there is nothing to look forward to and those deals weren't really all that great after all. Lately, the new thing is to buy local. Over priced, home made junk that we buy just to make ourselves feel like we are contributing to something other than the huge corporations that everyone out there loves to think they hate. We stand in unity against the system, unless it's a holiday and this is what sickens me.

Welcome to the religion of American Consumerism, where we fight against anything that isn't a holiday because it's not politically correct to fight against something like that. Hypocrisy seems to be the flavor of the months of October-Feburary as Christmas through Valentine's Day we are trying to show how big our dick is in the area of monetary givings and secretly hoping for the pay back of the receiving.

Slap on the wrist for American Congress

By now we all know that America was downgraded in their credit rating. Holding a AAA rating since 1917, S&P has determined America is now a AA+ country. As I shook my head throughout the night thinking about what this could mean for the country, I listened to the news who seemed to be brutally shocked at something the rest of us saw coming from a mile away.

S&P stated that it was more the portrayal of coming to the solution to America's debt ceiling problem and waiting until the last minute to do something about it. They also condemn the Republicans for being unmanageable as we all know they wouldn't budge on things that were suggested and they didn't like. Push comes to shove, the debt was a long time problem but the irresponsible in fighting at Congress showed S&P a disintegration of how America's government takes care of the countries problems. Which, again, is something we've all seen. The big head at S&P said that the down grade in America's credit status could have been avoided this year if a plan for the debt ceiling was actually done in a timely manner and done like adults.

This is a problem that the Government seems to be having lately. Bickering like children. Democrats don't want to save money by making welfare cuts and Republicans don't want to stop spending money that they don't have. Both sides are plagued with proving each other wrong so often  that they have forgotten what their jobs are!

Another commenter on the news station I was watching last night said that candidates now have the chance to do what is right for the country. Why hasn't this been done for the past 20 years? Unfortunately, this makes the president look extremely bad as the new election comes to light. Although the debt was huge before President Obama took over, the fact that the downgrading didn't happen until he was in office says a lot.

Or does it?

The fact of the matter is, the debt should have been in it's start to being taken care of and we weren't in this debt until this "War on Terror". This along with welfare states and lack of jobs creates more spending and less opportunities for revenue.

It's time for Congress to put on their big kid panties and get on with solving the problem that they created for America and do it without fighting. Do what NEEDS to be done because it needs to be done, not because it's what you WANT to be done.

Perspective Differences

It occurred to me that one must be in the right mind to use any information to it's utmost efficiency. If you are not in the right state of mind, it makes it very hard to distribute or even partake in the events that need to happen in order to create an ideal situation to overcome certain obstacles.

Everyone introduces a bit of indulgence. We are human and therefore tend to take things that we like and continue to use them. There is nothing wrong in enjoying indulgences. Certainly they are some of the things that make life worth living at times. However, it comes to mind to me this day that over indulgence is a killer. A killer in a way that it kills the message because it adds a new hurdle to the subversiveness of some messages. In fact, adding more clusterfuck than clarity because one cannot clear themselves enough to portray the message to another person.

In the case of over indulgence you also stand in line for judgment of those whom you are trying to reach and portraying a poor image for your cause. Unfortunately, for those of this path, they tend not to care enough. The moral behind this blog mainly is, if you show people that you don't care enough to have self control then how are you going to convince those around you that you care enough about your cause? These people are going to judge you and your ridiculous actions and while you may be able to attract the same types to your cause you certainly won't get the mass majority to listen to you. No one wants to try to dejumble the message of someone who can't speak clearly. No matter your spirit, your words are overlooked by your actions and that's where the real problem is with the situation.

Desire is NOT an occupation

If there is something we all share in common it's the WANT of things that we don't actually need. In America especially, we will stop at no lengths to get at what drives us the most. Whether it's the newest technology or items that we could easily make ourselves but for convience sake we don't feel like it.

The title of the blog says a lot when you really sit back and think about what you want and what you need. I have had this debate with several choice individuals. Previously, I wrote about Martial Law and the things that the masses MUST do in order to even just survive the outcome of what could be the biggest collapse in the American economy since the Depression. Part of the suggestions was to become self reliant. It is not enough to think "if this happens surely I will have all the options to survive". You cannot assume that because you've imagined what it MIGHT be like, you automatically know what you would do. The best way is to be educated about what you will NOT have and be able to work around that.

The debate of "why do you still go to work then if you are so against the Government"? Even I have wants that I acknowledge. For it is not what I NEED that keeps me in a job, it's simply what I want. Even so, I have started becoming efficient in designing and have been educating myself in how to live with just little. The best thing I could possibly do is look around at what I normally get from your every day super market and mock their actions.

The idea that "desire is not an occupation" falls under the thought process that if you think it, you can do it. While this is not necessarily fallacy, at some point you have to actually live what you think if it is going to make any difference. We all have our faults and we all live a busy schedule. Especially if you are running around providing for the man that's above you business wise. However, it's important to realize that if we want to move forward; you have to actually MOVE.

The Inspiration

I started off in college having a deep interest in Political Science and Criminal Justice. Needless to say, neither are the majors that I am attempting now but I did make a valiant attempt at doing so in the beginning. Politics fascinated me and the IDEA of Criminal Justice made me think really hard about the years I spent as a teenager saying "fuck the police". The secretary of the Speaker of the House came into my PS 110 class a few years back and I was captivated by what she was saying and it made me want to know more about the inner workings of Washington and the Government.

When I really started educating myself about the systems of Government and the intricacies that went along with them I was trapped. Later, while I would watch the news, I would tilt my head to  the side and wonder just what was right. At the same time, I picked apart things that could use improvement and was nieve in my beliefs that I could play a role in the improvement. So, I decided that I hated the Government.. I wanted nothing to do with it. I saw the system as something that was far more broken than could possibly be fixed. America was weak and would soon flush itself down because that was what weak countries do. They fail and sink. I vowed to leave this country and go somewhere else. Only to do my research and realize that we are ALL broken on some level or another.

My hope was revitalized when I came to an epiphany. I decided to rally and back groups such as Anonymous. There is where I found my inspiration to start thinking in a more positive manner about the Americas again. It gave me new ideas on how to reach out to people regardless of being PC or not; my message has been prominent and clear. That message has been attacked over and over again. Today being a prime example as I posted a question that was turned into a flame war simply because someone misunderstood and took it way too far.

As I go on writing this blog for myself and others to educate themselves on certain things I have announced to the world that my words are ready and welcoming a response.. negative or not. I am not afraid of you or anyone else. Everyone deserves to know and more importantly, UNDERSTAND what is going on around them. My inspiration is the negative, it's the positive, it's the knowledge that maybe only a handful of people read but perhaps that handful will regain some of their own strength and actually use it.

Our Government thinks I am a terrorist

Our Government thinks I am a terrorist. Why? I stand up for the freedoms that we have and I also stand up for the freedoms that we COULD have if we just educated ourselves and stopped asking what we can do for the Government instead of asking our Government to do it's job. I have stopped believing in the American dream but I have not stopped believing in the American spirit. I have not given up on the people themselves so much as I have with the idea that the Government is suppose to be the guards of our freedom and constitution. However, perhaps this was my mistake from trusting such a group of people could exist without feeling power hungry after such an exhausting dinner of making decisions.

Do not get my actions confused, I have not given up on our people but the Patriots of this country bring down my Anarchistic buzz a bit. Yes, you are a buzz killer. This misplaced pride in the Government and even in some of the military is such a conundrum that, at times, I have a hazy dream like feeling towards you all. However, mostly you just make me upset. Upset and angry  that there are people like you with so much strength and so much voice yet you remain silent as these transgressions are taken upon you and PRAISE them for happening. 

One of the biggest rallied outcries happened after the incident with America's brush with on soil depreciation on 9/11. Your 10 year anniversary is coming up this year and yet we know what will happen all too well. The magazines, the replays.. the news is toxic and knowingly filling your head with propagandized fear that you re-live year after year. This situation caused what was known as The Patriot Act, stripping people of their freedoms but reasoned in the people's minds that this was what they had to do in order to stay protected. Unfortunately, as time goes on and economy becomes worse, the option of losing freedoms in order to gain protection looks more and more appeasing to certain individuals. It's a large pill that is easier to swallow when sugar coated with more promises even though the ones before them were never cashed on.

You may say "look no more attacks" but as time goes on you must realize that the attacks that are being played on your soil are not that of outsiders but of your own people. Such is the reason why your country is in such an economic downfall. You have your eyes planted on what you deem is the enemy and have spent too little time determining the outcome of your country. It has fallen to shambles as the people of your country sprint towards others in outrage, leaving your Government with only itself to deal with the rest of the American people. The Government is supposed to be ran by the people, however, there are no people to be found. Too busy discussing and arguing to take notice of the world crumbling around them until it's far too late.

What can you do, right? If you, like myself, believe that to keep an order you must keep your freedoms and rely on yourself despite perhaps going against the grain of the Government.. then you are a terrorist. If you sit back and watch the noise coming from the media that at any moment could no longer belong to you, you are a sheep. If you are those that are outraged by the external forces and wish nothing more than to attack them, you, my friend, are part of the problem.

Standing accused of becoming a terrorist because I wish to keep my freedoms and I want the Government to know that I mean business when it comes to my rights sounds much better than being spoon fed bullshit lies from Washington and being an animal without a target. 

NATO vs ANON

It will never cease to amaze me when things like this pop up and the ones that root for it and the ones that simply stay in the dark. Those in the dark criticize groups like Anonymous because they keep their identity hidden. However, one must come to terms with the idea that we all wear masks in every day life and politically there is no exceptions.

Politically, Anonymous wears the ever famous mask of V to symbolize that of a united forefront and revolution. We are all the same. Even out getting those "cheetos and redbulls" as a commenter says we still wear the mask. Oftentimes, it's those without the knowledge pass what the Government feeds them that do not acknowledge yet another, more dangerous, mask that they are wearing. For they are wearing the wool that the Government has pulled over their eyes and while some will manage to break free from that, many will refuse to. One can only guess as to their reasons why wearing such a suffocating mask is the way for them.

Anonymous has struck back after the arrests made in the name of Anonymous stating that they are not afraid of them anymore and the arrests/threats or arrest are meaningless. The idea of Anonymous is all inclusive and at the same time not. We are ALL anonymous, every single one of us. This idea of freedom dates back to the beginning of this country and many others. These countries have partook in events such as: Operation: Onslaught. A plan set up by www.whatis-theplan.org.

One commenter goes as far as to say that the terms Anonymous and Al Queda are interchangeable. As far as any pronoun goes, you could interchange any term and it would make sense due to the English language. However, as these attacks from Anonymous come pouring in we should take a look at where these are stemming from. Of course, "doing it for the lulz" was the beginning..

The targets of these assaults from Anonymous have been more than deserved.

Martial Law and why YOU need to pay attention to it

During the Onslaught last night, I became aware of a youtube.com video that you should take heed to as well. The video informs the American people about 20,000 US troops that have been training for the economic collapse of this country and the "civil unrest" this may cause.

What's concerning about this video is how little people know about this group of soldiers. Epsecially since our Government has been training these forces since 2008 explicitly for this year and the next. They have seen this coming and as we prepare, obviously, so do they. It's Martial Law and why YOU should be concerned I will notify you of.

Martial Law shuts down the entire first amendment. Executive Orders 10995, 10997-10999 state that the Federal Government can and WILL seize ALL of the following: Media (radios/tv/newpaper, telephones, internet ect.), electrical power, fuels, all modes of transportation, and all food resources.

But it doesn't stop there: You've also got Executive Order 11000 in which the Government can use civilians (willinig or not) for work completely under their supervision. Or, if what I just informed you of DIDN'T concern you how about Executive Order 12656 that states that the Federal Government can take over all of your local law enforcement, control how much you make, creates a draft and controls your assets for you.

The state of Michigan has gotten a small taste of Martial Law with the passing of their Governor's "Emergency Financial Mangers" Law. This Law states that any city in Michigan declared as in a crisis (determined by him, of course) can be invaded by his own choosing and these people will take place of the previously elected officials in that area. Benton Harbor was the first of these cities having their city government completely made to step down so that he can get in there and "fix" things. Let's see how it worked shall we?

At the time that Synder determined Benton Harbor to indeed be in a financial crisis, their income pre capita was a little over $10,000. Sounds bad but it gets worse. In less than a year, that number has dropped significantly to $8,965. Hindsight is always 20/20, I suppose, but where does this leave the people of Benton Harbor?

There are ways to prepare for Martial Law. Of course the Government would NEVER dream of making us protect ourselves from them right? The biggest thing that you must remember in a time like this is to remain self sufficient. Learn to live off of little. Do not so much rely on our dollar as it is worthless anyways. It's important that in the midst of a riot, you keep yourself level and especially if you are traveling with a child, stay away from these dangerous elements. I have said this before and I will say it many more times before I die, knowledge is your best friend. Keep up on your know how and keep up with the news. Decide for yourself and do not allow propaganda determine what you do with the knowledge that you have. Knowledge is your greatest weapon.

Keep in mind that under Martial Law, all your rights are suspended. However, it's not too late to make a stand and even in the middle, make your voice known because that is what this country was built on, NOT control.

New IP Laws.

The House has passed yet another new bill but has not managed to figure out what to do with the debt that we are going through as a country. It seems to me that this 1984-esque bill is the result of a Government that is more concerned on oppressing the individuals on the internet than it is trying to collect whatever pride this country may have left and fixing us back to where we were when we were a functional country.

We are owned and as a country that once boasted to be the most powerful in the world, we now hang our heads in shame.

Despite the arguments that it was a complete invasion of privacy, we don the "it's ok we are protecting our children". NO. It's NOT okay. The fact of the matter is, if we spent half the time actually PARENTING our children there would be no need to worry past getting the proper tools based on our computers. Why rely on the Government to parent what our children are seeing? Are we not capable enough ourselves?
   
While I will admit there are some sick perverts out there, we as parents have to make it a point to protect our children ourselves. Why is your young child on the internet anyways? Most kids should be out playing and learning!

 Even the Reps know something is up. Rep. Conyers stated: “This is not protecting children from Internet pornography,” Conyers said.  “It’s creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes."

And he isn't the only one. A REPUBLICAN Rep from Wisconsin states: '...It poses numerous risks that well outweigh any benefits, and I’m not convinced it will contribute in a significant way to protecting children.”' 

So, they KNOW this isn't for the benefit of our children. Why did it get passed? I think Conyers has it right. 

One more:

'A late rewrite of the bill reportedly requires ISPs to store customers’ names, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers and temporarily assigned IP addresses for 1 year.  The panel rejected an amendment clarifying that only IP addresses be retained by a 7 to 16 vote.'
LOL WHAT?! You need my phone number, my credit card numbers and IP addresses to track down online predators? The Government needs to realize that this is not the fabled 1984 and that they were all elected into a contract that pre-dates them long before they were ever thought of. It's called the Constitution.


Let us keep in mind that this is NOT something we should shrug off. They have taken a break from cell phone hot spots and wireless hot spots in the country. Also, there are other different ways to protect yourself. What in the world are we protecting ourselves from our own Government for?

The article from which this came from you can find in it's entirity here: http://www.nydailynews.com/tech_guide/2011/07/29/2011-07-29_house_panel_approves_isp_snooping_bill_hr_1981.html?r=news%2Fpolitics

You are DEAD.

 You are dead. 
You are dead because that is what they want you to be.
They talk of dreams but they don't want you to have them.
Their system is broken and so are their followers. But there is a solution.
They don't know the solution but inside YOU do.

You have the ability to come back from the dead and survive in real time. 
You don't have to follow those weaker than you.


DEAD IS REVERSABLE. 
SEEK THE TRUTH.

The knowledge is yours for the taking.
Stop the secrets and take hold of your own. 

Your life is yours?


PROVE IT.
