We have given too much power to our government and Bushit has gotten a hold of even more. They pull the strings like never before.

A couple weeks ago I posted about how a large group of soldiers were taken out of Iraq and shipped back to the US. Speculation was they were for enforcing martial law if need be.

But who knows? Maybe it was simply to tell lawmakers that martial law was iminent if they did not approve the $700 Billion slush fund for Bushit and his shitbags.

Now they have pillaged our economy even more with our supposed signed approval.

Here is stuff taken directly from my main source of info, Brasscheck.com:

Do you wonder how the Wall Street Welfare plan
(aka the bailout plan) ever passed Congress.

In most Congressional offices opposition
by voters ran 10 to 20 to 1 AGAINST it.

And for good reason.

The bailout is a total and complete fraud.

It does nothing to solve the root problem which
is a severe crisis of confidence in the banking
industry.

Instead it gives George Bush dictatorial powers,
through his Secretary Treasury, over three
quarters of a TRILLION dollars in tax payer
money.

(Part of the bill gave Bush $100 billion in
his own personal discretionary fund.)

The banking crisis is real, but there was
a much simple, cheaper solution.

Go behind the scenes and hear about the
fraud, bribery and even threats of violence
that were used get this corrupt piece of
legislation passed…

Legislation which never had a public hearing
and likely no one who voted “yes” for it ever
read.

There was a simple solution the banking crisis:

Guarantee ALL normal banking deposits. That’s what European countries are doing.

With bank deposit guarantees, individuals and real businesses would have access to their money and to normal credit.

But the White House took a different path…

A multi-trillion dollar “no string attached” checkbook controlled by the White House through the Treasury Department to buy the toxic assets of Wall Street and other reckless investors.

Who will pay?

The US tax payers who are footing the bill.

Who will benefit?

Wall Street CEOs and their deep pocket clients and members of the Bush regime.

What will the US do in the future when it needs money to prepair crumbling infrastructure, take care of public health, and deal with natural and man made catastrophes?

The answer will to all these problems will be simple and consistent: We have no money.

How did this insane legislation get passed?

Congressman Brad Sherman lays it out:

* fraud (fake phone calls from paid stooges in support of the bill),
* bribery (hundreds of pages of pork added to the bill by the Senate at the last minute), and
* threats of violence (the claim that without the bailout martial law was a certainty.)

Congressman Sherman’s entire presentation

When the powers that be (fuck if I know who they really are) decided to invade Iraq back in 2003, it sent out memo’s to its various puppet leaders.

Below you will see the puppet leaders reading out the memo, WORD FOR WORD.

Both Canadian and Australian “heads of state” got the same memo, verbatim.

Looking to honor the forty-third President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, the recently formed Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is looking to change the name of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility. It seems the group would like to rename the SF Zoo adjacent facility to the ‘George W Bush Sewage Plant’

From their official proposal:

Just as France presented the Statue of Liberty as its gift to the nation, the citizens of San Francisco may now bestow their own special gift to the country by renaming our award winning waste water treatment plant in honor of outgoing President George W Bush. We think this is a fitting memorial for a truly outstanding Commander-in-Chief. On matters ranging from diplomacy to fiscal and environmental stewardship, no other President has had such a dramatic impact on the country and the Constitution in such a short time. Most presidents wait years or decades to receive their memorial airport or highway. We think President Bush deserves immediate recognition for his eight years of public service.

Critics of this measure point out that the initiative unfairly maligns the talented and hard working staff at the award-winning plant or that it memorializes an administration best forgotten. To this we simply say that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. President Bush has left us with a gigantic mess, and that this facility symbolizes the city’s deft ability to clean up its share of the financial and diplomatic mess left in this administration’s wake. It will also become the world’s first presidential sewage plant, a potential tourist attraction, and therefore an opportunity for the dedicated plant workers to educate visitors about this essential and heretofore unknown public works. This measure will have a minimal fiscal impact and may increase tourist traffic to the plant, Zoo, and nearby attractions in southwest San Francisco, creating yet another quirky must-see destination along with our cable cars, Haight St, and Beach Blanket Babylon.

Fellow San Franciscans, we urge you to vote Oui! on November 4th.

Does it mean I need to say positive things about what they are doing?
Does it mean I need to be friendly to them when I see them?

What does it mean to support the troops?????

What kind of support? Financial? Emotional?

I just don’t get it.

I never liked what they do in the world. I don’t like their leaders.

The only compassion I have for the troops is that they are mostly poor uneducated people who have very few options. And getting them to join the army is a huge scam to use them as bullet bait until they become useless, at which point they are spit out the other end.

Here is a memorable quote from the video below (paraphrased):
Of the $4 Billion US spent on Iraq PER MONTH only 2.5 could be accounted for…..

The rest well, I have no idea where it went. But it certainly wasn’t looted by the soldiers.

Why are private companies being paid outrageous amounts of money to do things that since the begining of time have traditionally been done by soldiers? Things like, cooking, housing, etc. which soldiers could do on an astronomically lower budget?

Why are these companies closely tied to Prick Cheney?

Why the fuck has nobody done anything about this?????
I mean I know that sounds stupid, but are all the people in power so powerless or so corrupt???

Bottom line - the soldiers, despite my lack of support for their sorry assess, are the worst losers out of all of this. Well, the mostly brown dusty people who speak strange languages that the US soldiers kill get screwed more, but the soldiers get screwed pretty badly nonetheless. They are pulled in by propaganda and spit out into anonymity on the other end. If they are lucky they just have psychological scars, but a lost limb or two is common….

Now home prices are going down because they are going down….buyers wait to buy, sellers rush to sell, and the price keeps getting pushed further down.

The houses have not changed!

Our perception has changed!

As Buddha pointed out thousands of years ago, humans are caught in an unhappy dance with their attachments.

We are attached to our house going up or down in value.

When it goes up in value it seems to make us happy. At the very least it seems to make others happy. And so we all flock to get more houses in search of happiness. The houses go up in value and our happiness goes up in turn….at least it feels that way.

But then houses go down in value. Being deeply attached to the value of the house, this downturn causes unhappiness inside us. We all rush to rid ourselves of the cause of unhappiness and try to sell the house. House prices go down and in turn so does our happiness.

It can be a house, stocks, a job, a relationship, health.

It can be anything!

It is not the thing that causes our happiness or not. It is our attachment to it.

Yet we continue to run around like addicted little chipmunks throwing the world up and down in self fulfilling cycles of hope and pain.

At first the world has not really changed at all. Our perception is what changes. But eventually the world is affected by the actions resulting from our perceptions.

The solution?

Be like Buddha.
Easy? No.
Possible? Yes.
Rewarding? Oh my god yes!

The strange thing is that being like Buddha feels incredibly boring at first. That is why people stuck abusive relationships always pick the exciting asshole over the “boring” nice guy. They are addicted to the roller coaster rush of having somebody or something control their emotions.

Being like Buddha is the act of being aware of our attachments, it is not the act of disconnecting from the world. We are biologically programed to survive and that involves reacting to external stimuli. We are hardwired to be attached to our environment. When the bear comes we are programmed to run like hell and shitting your pants is just a biological way of becoming lighter as you run….

So Buddha didn’t float up into the clouds far away from life. He remained in the village. He burped and farted, laughed and cried.

But the difference is that he did it with awareness. Awareness is what disconnects us from the roller coaster of hope and pain, from the mindless acts of stupidity that usually run our politics, economy and world.

Being aware of our internal process does not shut off the process, which is important since we need the process to survive, but it does lessen your attachment to it. And that is crucial.

We are so incredibly attached. When our children do good we feel like a success. When they do bad we feel like a failure. And the same for everything else in our lif. It reaches ridiculous heights. Some sports fans feel like losers when their national sports team is beat by another country.

The awareness allows us to feel a feeling of success when our children succeed. But it also keeps us from losing ourselves. We retain our inner self. Our inner self continues to guide us and not our attachment to the success or failure of some outside stimuli.

This is ultimately what saves us from being engulfed by the world. Without that awareness of our inner process we flail and spend life constantly on the verge of drowning.

Attachment is nasty for a second reason: it goes against the number one rule of the universe: This Too Shall Change. No matter what it is, it will change. And if you are attached to it you are in trouble because when it changes you are going to feel loss, powerless….

Being aware requires an ongoing practice of Knowing Yourself, exploring yourself, discovering yourself, watching yourself.

It also helps to be spiritual. Spirituality is the ultimate in letting go of attachment. Or at the very least spirituality is being attached to something eternal that never changes and in comparison realizing that everything else will change and thus isn’t worth getting too attached to.

When you let go of attachment that is really when you can enjoy life.

You can dance, sing, laugh, and cry, forever changing, forever moving up and down. But instead of it being a roller coaster that you are strapped into, it is more like a bubbling brook that is servant to nobody except the downward slope of universal gravity.

Scientific and historical Facts about gasoline and alcohol:

1. The original automobiles ran on alcohol because when they were invented gasoline was not available.

2. Rockefeller spent $4 million (that we know of) to promote Prohibition, a ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US that started in 1919 just as the car industry was taking off.

3. When Prohibition was lifted in 1933, gasoline stations were ubiquitous and most engines ran on gasoline only.

4. Alcohol can be manufactured locally and on a community level from renewable plant material for $1 per gallon.

5. The growing of plant material for alcohol would have no effect on the price of food.

6. The growing of plants for fuel would more than neutralize the carbon created by burning alcohol for fuel.

7. In Brazil, over 50% of new cars sold can already run on 100% alcohol.

8. Producing alcohol from plant material is incredibly energy efficient.

9. The oil companies aggressively promote “science facts” to deceive the public into believing that alcohol fuels: a) will cause starvation, b) are uneconomical, and c) are net polluters.

10. Gasoline is a high toxic material.

11. It is entirely unneeded to fuel our cars.

12. Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades - and the censorship continues to this day.

If this massive deception were to be busted, it would:

1. remove the reason that many wars are fought today

2. revitalize the world economy, especially in rural area

3. instantly increase the wealth and health of every
person on earth

Notes from Brasscheck.com

We haven’t seen the dramatic moves yet and most people are either in denial or just haven’t really thought about it.

But the is no doubt about it, the dollar is collapsing.

The big question for me is what does that mean to my life as an American holding mostly Dollars.

If the other poor countries are any indication, and I’ve visited most of them, then it simply means the US is going to get poorer. Less fancy stuff, run down buildings, crumbling infrastructure.

But that is if we continue with the current financial structure.

I’d like to see a new financial structure where less money is made, less stuff is created and people have less, BUT less money is needed, less stuff is created and people are fine with less.

Less physically, that is. Hopefully we have more in the areas of love, life and happiness.

What would that would look like?

For starters I think people would get more sleep and be less stressed out. They would have less need for material pacifiers because the cause of that need would not be there. They would work less. It wouldn’t be called unemployment, though, since work wouldn’t be the central bastion of existence.

You’d have a lot less products. We don’t need 400 different brands of breakfast cereal. Only about 10 of them are worth eating. The other 390 of them are almost identical with different food coloring and packaging.

This means that all that production time spent making those 390 boxes of cereal can be spent on producing something else or simply be downtime.

Look, I don’t know. I’m no economist (like they know shit). But it just seems to make sense:
use less, want less, work less, play more.

Before the industrial revolution people worked all day but now we have machines that can do that. Why did that utopian ideal of a machine workforce never actualize? It seems to make sense.

It is a deal Buddha made with Jesus a long time ago. In return Christian tele evangelists are allowed into heaven as long as at some point in their career they admit to all their decadence and lies in a well promoted teary eyed prime time spectacle.

I think the deal sucks because directors of Cambodian orphanages are truly doing gods work regardless of whether they care less about the Bible. and tele evangelists are idiots.

He just got written up in a big newspaper.

So….lets play with these numbers…..

Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period), after living on Earth for about 165 million years.

Humans have been on the earth for 50,000 years.

Lets put things into perspective and use one year as the measuring stick.

Lets say that Earth time from the very beginning of the dinosaurs to today were compressed into 365 days (1 calendar year).

This means the dinosaurs appeared January 1st and became extinct the third week of September.

Since the earth is 4.5 billion years old, using this one year time scale, the Earth would have formed approximately 18.5 years earlier.

By comparison, people (Homo sapiens) would have been on earth only since December 31 (New Year’s eve).

To recap the one year time frame analogy:

If the time between the start of dinosaurs to today were one year, then…

The world is about 19 years or 6,840 days old.
Dinosaurs were on it almost 10 months, or about 114 days, and about two months have gone by since they disapeared.
Humans have been on the earth for the last day of the past 19 years….

We’re just little chickens!
