Devastated Communities Look for Answers

The third congressional district has the highest unemployment in Washington state.  The area has lost more jobs in recent years than most other communities nationwide.  The people watched banks and other corporations get bailouts from congress.  Yet what access do individuals have when they need a bailout?  As we turn to government for answers we find the most contrasting races in the coming election on November 2nd.

Here is a video of Denny Heck and his slogan is Give Congress Heck.  I like his message and his sentiment in the campaign videos.  His website: http://www.dennyheckforcongress.com/free_details.asp?id=3

Then there is the typical opposition of scare tactics.  I find that anytime someone speaks up for the average person you always find opposing scare tactics and war mongering.  Check this out one of the video "supporters" of the opposition even dresses up like radical fear tactician Sarah Palin.  She abandoned her campaign in Alaska when investigators were hot on her trail did she not?  This advertisement slings mud on Denny Heck's message is produced by the so called "Americans for Prosperity."  Which Americans does this group represent?  Certainly not those millions of Americans that lost their jobs across the country.  No we the people of America certainly do not approve of any measure put forward by this elitist group.  The board of directors of the "Americans for Prosperity" list Wall Street and political insiders who have wrecked our economy since Reaganomics.  We have witnessed what happened to our economy with these macro economists in charge: the wholesale sell-off of our jobs to the lowest bidder oversees with no concern for human individuals or human rights.

Of course one day the we will outgrow our corrupt government and enjoy a society of individual prosperity.  But not until we take the money out of the equation.  Money especially from large corporations will always corrupt government.  The Venus Project is part of that dream of a new society.

Americans Growing Bitter

It is no wonder Americans everywhere are starting to get sick and tired of how the country is being run and all the political rhetoric that gets us no where.  For years political pundits and agents of corporations told us that we need less government and more corporate enterprise.  Well there is no small wonder if you follow the money to see why we are in the horrific shape we find ourselves today.  Every day we take money out of education and human services and its all going toward a perpetual war that the American people never signed on.  Before voodoo Reaganomics we had considerably the highest education system of the world but now we can not even afford to keep good teachers in our schools.

I remember when I lived in Virginia in the 80s, then Governor Wilder had an educations system that ranked in the top 10 -15 in the states.  The state had a lot of good programs to help people get an education and get back to work.  When George Allen and the religious right republicans came to power, they declared a war on drugs and educational programs and cut education budget by over 50% over the next few years.  They built lots of new prisons and locked a lot of people up who where non-violent.  Up until John Warner got elected and broke the radical right 12 year reign in that state their education system sunk down to the bottom 10 states and racked up a huge state debt.  They say that crime does not pay well it does not seem that war pays well either.  I am all for safe neighborhoods but if you have to cut education drastically you are spending money on the on wistful practices.  Because no matter how closely you police an area if you have no educational programs available your idle people are going to turn to drugs no matter how many cops and prisons you budget.  If you declare war on drugs you will get one as well.

But America's wars overseas are starting to get people in an uproar.  There is a growing sentiment world wide and within our own country.  That sentiment is that 9/11 was an inside job by our government at the very top of the Bush Administration and Wall Street.  If you follow the money once more you can see who benefited from the deaths of thousands of Americans.  There is enough doubt today of the propaganda that 9/11 was done alone by Muslim terrorists that it is the continued government cover-up is just laughable.     The facts remain of 9/11 that the government can not cover up because these facts slipped out during the media coverage of the fateful day.  They can be found outlined in the books by David Ray Griffen books, Debunking 9/11 Debunking, 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, and 9/11 and the American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out

1. Dick Chaney was placed in full command of our armed forces and ordered NORAD to stand down for 9/11.   The FCC reported the hijackings in time to scramble fighters to even the scene of the first crash but the military did nothing or was confused.  There is a news report that someone in the military was told by Dick Chaney that the stand down order was still in effect even though a flying object was 10 minutes from the Pentagon.

2. That flying object was not a 757, it was a cruise missile that hit the Pentagon according to video and security personnel.

3.  The video from several security cameras was confiscated by the FBI and never investigated by the 9/11 Commission.

4. Two security guards who seen the footage told the news media that the video showed a cruise missile hit the Pentegon.  One security guard died of un-natural causes and the other security guard was pressured to change his story.

5.  At least one of the 757 jets that hit the world trade center towers had an external tank fitted to its belly.  How did terrorists have time to land the plane and fit a large external tank?

6.  The collapse of the World Trade centers was not caused by jet fuel but by a controlled demolition of all three buildings.  The owner/beneficiary of the insurance policy of the world trade center ordered demolitions teams to pull the building.  His buildings were insured from terrorist attack for six billion dollars.

7. The collapse of building seven of the world trade center was announced on the BBC 20 minutes before it actually happened with the building standing in the background.


This is why nobody believes the government and corporate propaganda anymore. Do not believe anytime the American government says another government has weapons of mass destruction. We do believe that corporate America is running the government.  We do believe corporation profit more and pay Americans and World workers less while they enjoy protection of our own constitution.  Until Americans get fed up and take it back - we can only look forward to endless wars and a bankrupt and divided America.

I went to a Chevron gas station to purchase a  drink and the attendant asked me if I wanted to donate to the children fund.  I asked her that in this economy her rich corporation should be the one donating to charity.   I already gave all I have.  As a matter of fact why does Chevron not donate more to help those poor people in the Ecuadorian Amazon River basin that their subsidiary Texaco Oil polluted into near extinction?  Chevron has got a lot of nerve to ask citizens for donations.  I just want them to know that I know about their oil polluted river.  Do not ask me for donations.  Stop buying government favors and spend your money to clean up your act, Chevron.  You and BP make wonderful web sites that are devoid of the pollution your spills and carelessness cause - selling us a fake propaganda message that you care.  We are not buying your lies anymore.

There is a great article on building resentment in America in Time Magazine: Locked And Loaded.  Americans are getting armed and getting ready.  The redcoats are coming or are the redcoats already here?  This article tells about the sheer numbers of paramilitary groups.  I had a friend in 1994 who was locked up in Virginia for the same thing that these guys are doing in 2010.  The right to bear arms and speak out against the government.  He spent 5 years in the Fed for his troubles and these guys have far larger standing armies in Ohio and all over the country.  Even local sheriffs are threatening the ATF agents to keep out of their counties or they will arrest them.  In some areas local sheriffs are refusing to evict victims of the housing crisis. Americans all over are getting fed up at our government.

Voters agree: money has too much power

Supreme Court Rules Corporations Have Equal Rights With Humans

 The New Political Money Game by CommonDreams.com

Supreme Court rejects limits on corporate spending on political campaigns by the Washington Post

 I found these stories very disturbing and wrote the following response below:

I fear that government of the people, by the people, for the people, WILL perish from the earth and that our civil war and every war veteran since SHALL have perish consecrating the ground from which they fell for the continued pleasure of corporations.  Corporations have everything to gain from us humans killing each other.   Abraham Lincoln’s vision of a new birth of government is continually blinded by banking moguls.  This is the lead kidnapper of our Constitutional Rights.   The Supreme Court rules that corporations have the same human rights to the first amendment as our next door neighbor with blood, guts, and a human consciousness to prove his humanity. 

I beg to differ with the Chief Justice that a corporation is NOT a human being. This confusion appears to be the primary cause of chaos in our government.  Since he can not as a chief of justice in our land discern that a corporation is a set of operating principles written on a piece of paper, we remain a country run by corporations not people.  This document lives in government files and has no blood to sustain it but only money.  Money is the invention of man in a fraction banking system.   Therefore is not even a resource humans need to live and breed on the planet.  Blood, however, has  human DNA and comes from the stars.  Corporations are not human although certain humans benefit from their money.

(Edit:  While doing the research to this article I came across a 1886 ruling that the Supreme Court of that time first gave corporation such a human persona.  My question to those with cognitive powers remains firm:  Why are corporations afforded such a human luxury?  If corporations are truly human then why do shareholders in absentee, own corporations as property??  If corporations are people then it should be illegal by the 14th Amendment to hold people as property!  Therefore corporations are either property or people and can not be both.)

And it is this human voice that is drowned by corporate propaganda on corporate news media and misinformation by money. It is the corporations who have unequivocal leverage in government by lobbyists in their employ.  It is the people who need protection from money and corporations just as colonial citizens needed protections from the King’s Will and the Bank of London in the days during an proceeding the American Revolution.  This caused our forefathers to write the Constitution to protect the people’s right to fair limited government.

Without immediate change our government will continue to be a sham of democracy and in fact be a headless fascist corporate dictatorship.  So be it!  Let them destroy the rest of America because that is all in their power under money to do.  Absolute power absolutely corrupts and corrupt will continue to bring on destruction.

Corporations have no conscience.  Corporations do not think.  Corporations can not correct errors only humans can.

Please for the love of god, higher power, or yourself, correct this error in government by the people.

Get Off the Grid: How to Make Solar Energy From Junk Parts.

I wanted to get back on the subject of renewable energy resources.  With our energy crisis with BP and other fossil fuel pollutions, I was searching for an inexpensive way to make portable solar panels that would work for rental properties.  Last night I found a website which illustrated how to take salvage material and turn it into an improvised power cell that can recharge batteries and low power equipment.

I find a lot of excuses that solar power is not ready and it is too expensive.  These excuses give little reason to toss solar power as an option.  Anytime a reduction of energy dependence on fossil fuel can be found the planet smiles a little bit and your pocketbook saves a lot.  If everyone in America fitted some sort of alternate energy combination for their homes the demand for electricity from the power company’s grid would plummet.  In fact, if done correctly the power company would have to pay the individuals for power. 

I found a lot of websites that where selling information kits saying you can make solar panels for under $100-200.  I did not have the $49.95 available to buy this information, however.  But this site was free and the author is ingenious using surplus items.

A lot of good information found here at Instructables.com to make the solar panels.  Another good article on this site is making rain barrels to utilize roof rainwater for watering gardens.  There are a lot of ingenious designs that an enterprising Americans can put to good use as individuals.  We need to rekindle this energy to solve our pollutions problems and energy needs.  Conserving water is another good conservation practice.  There are a lot of countries where citizens do not have clean water to drink.

This brings to mind the plight of the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador which has been polluted by Texaco Oil, currently owned by Chevron.   Exxon and BP seem small next to the ecological disaster Texaco Oil perpetrated; they dumped waste oil in the rivers and headwaters of the Amazon River from 1964 to 1992!  For 15 years Chevron has battled in courts against settling this disaster in the Amazon forest.  The Amazon rain forest is an area that supplies the world with 20% of the Earth’s oxygen, yet Chevron still refuses to settle the dispute or clean up their mess.  I guess the world will have to literally hold their breath.

Please do not hold your breath.  Please get off the grid.  Tell those uncaring, corporate oil tycoons and fossil fuel polluting devils that their dirty energy is no longer required.

A Good Time for a Time Out!

I highly recommend the Ramada’s Spa King Suite in Olympia, Washington and the services of Hotel.com.  My wife wanted to find a special place for us to celebrate my 49^th birthday and the 2^nd anniversary of meeting each other.  Hotel.com helped us research and find the spectacular suite of luxury at a great price at Ramada.  We required a hot tub in our room to fulfill a bonding fantasy of ours and the double room suite at Ramada made our dreams come true.  Rooms of this caliber in the Washington State consistently ran up a payment of $500 or more but through Hotel.com we acquired this room for only $175 including tax.  This is an outstanding value which normally costs $249 according to Ramada. 

The room was a double size two room suite with a beautiful king sized bed with a wood carved headboard.  It was decked out with plush cozy four puffy pillows and brand new linens.  Plentiful cleaning staff was sited throughout the hotel giving attention to cleanliness and details of comfort. In the main room, the hot tub prominently commanded attention to its size which could seat 4 guests comfortably in the soothing bubbly.  A large couch faced an entertainment center where you could call up movies, television, music and video games.  Out the picture window a view of the lush outside greenery centered attention to our favorite restraint where we ate dinner that evening – Red Lobster.  There a wonderful server named David attended to our culinary fantasy of the seafood type.

The hotel served a complementary breakfast the next morning almost every imaginable item to start the day anew.  A buffet style service area allowed you to build your own breakfast from cereal to scrambled eggs and sausage gravy biscuits.  Everything was great.  All manor and flavor of coffee teas and juices were available and one could even create waffles on the self serve waffle grills.  Adding a pinch of salt I enjoyed seconds of the sausage gravy.  The service here made sure everything was kept stocked and sanitary.  As a chef of past employment I appreciated the effort that went into keeping this area above and beyond expected standards.

On leaving I teased my wife that should could sit in the huge bathroom and call room service on the phone inside.  In the bathroom area you could see that the walk in shower could easily be used by couples so romantically inclined to do so.  As a critique of corporations and capitalism, I must say that the Ramada, Red Lobster, and Hotels.com certainly impressed us both.  This was an adventure well worth our time.

A New Look at the 9/11 Commission

A New Look at the 9/11 Commission


This article in Time suggests a cast of doubt on the official version of events. They interview an author of the new book, The Ground Truth. He does not seem to go deep enough into the government's ongoing strategy to keep America in endless wars. The motivation is there. Bankers, arms manufacturing, oil, resources, CIA, all contributed to the conspiracy. Whether some government agents where in on it or just help to cover up those truly involved - the facts show that government officials hid the true facts from us as they often do. The following exerts show the continuing cover-up:

"

Why do you think officials tried to obscure some of the faulty decision making and communication on 9/11?
It's almost a culture of concealment, for lack of a better word. You have someone like Sandy Berger, who by all accounts is a decent guy, taking rather extreme measures to remove documents from the National Archives and hide them at a construction site where he could retrieve them later and destroy them. There were interviews made at the FAA's New York center the night of 9/11 and those tapes were destroyed. The CIA tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to put it mildly, was distorted and was completely different from the way things happened."
