Thank You BERNIE SANDERS 2016/ 2017: BERNIN the Trail to Strengthen DEMOCRACY into 2017 ... The "Great Leaders 4 Democracy" Edition ... (From The FOXHOLE with Bernie PT.34)

**** http://www.sanders.senate.gov/



I wanted to close out the year 2016 with a great leader for democracy, and felt no one more deserving and importante for his work in these times, than this man, while looking forward to the work and service he will do for the American people coming into 2017, and a big Thank You to Senator Bernie Sanders, who I still support 110%, and look at him as one of our greatest leaders in these times ... so this will serve as Part 34 also of the "From The FOXHOLE with Bernie" series of this journal/ blog. No one has inspired more Americans and especially our youth this year in the last elections as Bernie Sanders, to become more involved in the political process and fighting for the restoration of true democracy ... Bernie has energized several people I know personally locally here in Texas, as well as 2 of my stepgrandsons and daughter to get involved. Bernie has motivated and enlightened millions of Americans, who otherwise would have not gave a shit about this political system or election as presented, and many who just felt like it's hopeless ... he sparked new life into not just a failing Democratic Party establishment, but into many Americans from different walks. I really look forward to his leadership in Washington with the challenges to come with this new administration and some of the new heads of various departments that were picked to run things ... this is a man that will lead a path for challenging what needs to be. Thank You for your service Senator, and looking forward to 2017 with you Sir ... and wishing you, your wife Jane and family a good New Year.

The People's Rally in Washington ... Thanx to Bernie Sanders

TWAS THE TIME BEFORE CHRISTMAS- An OLD FASHIONED XMAS ... In the Spirit of Christmas PAST .... "Winter Holidayz 2016"







A little added Holidayz posting I wanted to put up here, to look at "Christmas Past" ... and some of the culture and mythology of old, that was the roots of todayz culture and mythology of what's called Christmas. Today it's very commercialized on one hand, and big business ... or modern religious institutions building off of its roots to shape their followers spiritual beliefs, and financially strengthen their institutions ... but the roots of this winter holiday season goes back for centuries in various cultures around the world, who all contributed something to its evolution and transformation to what we make it in the 21st century. Everything from the Christmas tree, to the mistletoe, to exchanging gifts, fireside stories, tree decorations of fairies and angels, candle lights, treats for the kidz and lovers , overindulging in food and drink, long parties and visits with friends and families, the nativity scene, Santa Claus, etc, etc ... all have very ancient roots ... this posting will look at Saturnalia and Yule, these have heavily molded our Christmas season of today. No doubt though, whatever culture or period you celebrate at this time of year, it's another "time out" well deserved to enjoy, and to look forward to the new year and sun ... the winter solstice has attracted people, as much as the waters of the Earth ... that both play their part in life. Have a good winter holiday ... Enjoy!





Yule/ Winter Solstice/ Winter Festivals/ Saturnalia ... Thanx to Helen Demetriou

Image result for bowling for soup band

**** www.bowlingforsoup.com




This posting will be a Christmas/ New Year's Greetings posting for this journal/ blog for 2016. So I wanted to have some holidayz music in here, and at the same time I wanted to include a band to do it, a band which has been past due for this music/ arts honour roll society of this journal, who are a really tight crew. So this will highlight some of the holidayz song off the album "Merry Flippin Christmas", by the crew "Bowling for Soup" (wikipedia) ... a Dallas area band originally out of Wichita Falls, Texas ... some great holiday songs with a little added flare, love the guitar rhythms and vocal worx harmonizing with that punk beat, BFS style ... anyone who knows BFS, knows what I mean. BFS is an alternative power pop punk type group that is outstanding as far as music, they been around since 1994, played with so many others globally on various bills, and even got nominated for a Grammy, as well as another 11 full albums, and have a great sense of humour too! Below, some stuff I chose from the Christmas album for the holidayz ... and Happy Holidayz to the viewer of this posting ... and same to the band, Thanx and best 2017 to the crew as well ... Enjoy!

FACELIFT & MINDSHIFT 4 DEMOCRACY 2016: The Myth & Superstition of AUTHORITY ... "Psyche THRONE of SLAVERY" ... The "Question Session" Edition ... (LARKEN ROSE PT.2)- (HUMAN MORALITY PT.20)- (THE AWAKENING PT.46)

Image result for larken rose quotes



This posting will serve as Part 2 of "Larken Rose", Part 20 of "Human Morality" & Part 46 of "The Awakening" series of this journal/ blog. Another posting to focus on the importance of questioning, especially authority ... which is embedded in many folks psyche as a sort of wrong, not acceptable or whatever ... all part of institutionalized programming, but, it is healthy to question the throne which enslaves you mentally and physically, whether you feel like a slave or not. Even what we see as present democracy now, can alwayz use a facelift with improvement, and a mindshift in how we view these things ... not just being obsessed with what is tossed to you from those "we" give power to, I mean, we vote for instance for a reason ... which is not to penalize ourselves, but to make change, better, and improve our lives and societies. The idea that we should be 110% obedient to this throne, is not democracy either, or that we should just accept what we're given by those who abuse the power we give them, we are accountable, they should be as well ... if it's not to the benefit as a society, it should be replaced, discarded, destroyed ... it's that simple. The idea that we would cease to exist without these nonsensically precious superior entities that we praise, or that chaos and self destruction would come without the authority we worship, to me is just more nonsense ... we already do a great job as it is, in our so called democracy, at self destruction, chaos, while institutionally breeding stupidity and submissiveness in our societies. Government, religious institutions and banks/ corporations (what I call the "3- entities" throughout this journal) are all in bed together to make us obey and be accountable ... since these entities are created and managed by people in the upper classes of society, who get all their power and fortune off all of us, they should also be questioned, held accountable, or/ and punished, when they abuse their authority, not be passively praised ... when they prove themselves worthless and vile, they should be eradicated and replaced.

Ever since we began to walk upright, we knew by certain instinct what is acceptable and not acceptable to our well being ... before any kings, morality teachings, or todayz oligarchs and their institutions of programming. Simple example that applies to everyone in these times, just look at our communities/ neighbourhoods ... regardless if there is law enforcement or government there or not to protect us, we look out for each other, no matter what class you fall into, whether you live in what is considered as a ghetto, to the most affluent neighbourhood, it's been this way for hundreds of thousands of years ... if it wasnt, humanity today would not exist or made it this far. In the case of government, it should be of, by, and for the people, in what America represents, meaning if there is any government, it SHOULD be CONTROLLED by US ... every so many years, we slip and lose some of our control leverage to a handful who slip us simply ... nothing that cant be fixed, throughout the history of this country, there alwayz had to be changes and improvements, cleaning house, and cracking down. Below I chose a video that was made as a response and summary of Larken Rose's book "The Most Dangerous Superstition", a book that I recommend, which was a very good read, and the summary video below, a very good piece. Even if you dont agree with folks like Larken Rose or GeoShifter, it is great food for thought. I myself dont agree with some of either on other subjects ... like the "flat Earth" talk out of GeoShifter, or the not paying taxes talk of Larken ... I strongly support taxation in our current stage of society ... I also am an oddball, who actually thinx that a balanced amount of socialism is healthy in capitalism ... I'm not married to any social, political, or religious group, but will listen to anyone, when they have something that makes good sense, no matter what their affiliation. This video below and read of Larken, is not only healthy food for thought, but common sense.

THANK YOU to VETERANS STANDING with Standing Rock ... The "Holidayz Salute" Edition ... (VETERANS SPOTLIGHT PT.47)- (GROUND ZERO @ STANDING ROCK PT.3)



**** Veterans for Standing Rock | Facebook




This posting will serve as Part 47 of the "Veterans Spotlight" series and Part 3 of "Ground Zero @ Standing Rock" for this journal/ blog, to serve as a Thank You posting for those veterans from around the country who showed up to protect and serve at Standing Rock, it has inspired many civilians as well as veterans ... and is about protecting what we have and challenging all that needs to be challenged. This is not a right/ left issue here, this is an American issue, it's an attack on not just the right to have clean water, but a matter of protecting all rights for everyone, it's Standing Rock, it's Flint (MI), it's for all America, and what America should really stand for. I hear reports that the oil pipeline construction is still going through, regardless of what President Obama said or the Army Corps of Engineers say ... some petition and news here from "Lakota People's Law Project". As I pointed out in Part 2 of "Standing Rock" ... I dont buy it, as far as "The People Win" headlines, and I dont think that many in their right mind buys it actually, I need some actual "reason" to believe in other words ... some evidence ... these companies will ignore what the President or anyone sayz, and just pay some fines, none are ever criminally prosecuted, just like banks ... if there was actual consequences, they would have incentive to change the way they do business and deal with us, but much of our politicians and courts are tied into them and weakened, so I myself expect this battle to continue, and have alot more attacks on us ... and we will have to escalate our pressure and attack back, they chose to attack our people and nation, rights, Constitution, properties, businesses, children and much else ... some are as much an enemy to America, as a foreign entity trying to militarily invade our country. But I just wanted to have some quick interviews from some vets below and some newsread links ... and say Thank You to our veterans, and wishing them, their friends, and families a good Christmas and New Year holidayz.

STANDING ROCK VICTORY(?): De- ESCALATING TENSIONS 101 ... DON'T Trust It ... Looking Beyond the VEIL of VICTORY ... The "In TRUST, We RUST" Edition ... (GROUND ZERO @ STANDING ROCK PT.2)- (GLOBAL WAR'N'ING PT.45)




Protesters celebrate after Army denies Dakota Access pipeline permit ... Thanx to RT America





This posting will be Part 2 of "Ground Zero @ Standing Rock", and Part 45 of the "Global War'n'ing" series. There is alot of happy cheers of jubilation today ... and rightfully so, because the block of construction by Army Corps of Engineers and President Obama's support ... these folks that call themselves protectors of their land, water and people deserve to celebrate. But my reason for this posting is to try to look beyond the veil of victory and what brought this about, and the need to be VERY vigilant STILL, so it's also a relief to hear some of the native American leaders still keeping on this ... because all the news, mainstream and social media is playing this as a solid victory ... I dont buy this, or even trust it ... but at least it is a good temporary block for a start. I see alot that has brought this decision, that I havent heard much talk about yet ... and I could very wrong, and hope that I am. The amount of supporters has been growing at a rate that the federal or state governments did not anticipate would happen, they thought they could wear down the protectors/ protesters, even thought they could threaten and intimidate them with mandatory evacuation warnings, weather warnings, attack dogs, concussion grenades, militarized police, fire, cold water and pepper- spray mixes in sub- zero temps, fines, arrests, corporate/ political designated relocated "free speech zoning", etc, etc ... the fear tactics didnt work, the people stood defiant against it all. Bus loads of veterans started arriving despite the weather, who are well trained to stand strong and defend, as well as more people joining in ... now the politicians and their corporations see this growing beyond control, and very possible that there will be a large conflict, they already know that the tensions of the American people as a whole are high, and probably will escalate with the new leader/ President coming in 2017 even, as well as all the neoliberalism that is going to have to be challenged, that they all have up their sleeves. This is also a political move, because of the failing popularity numbers of Obama and Democrats, they had to do something, because they have been doing nothing, and will not move until they are "made" and pinned in a corner. The republicans are already making this into the classic left/ right bitch fight as usual, and vowing to have this pipeline go through, even the new leader Trump has investments in it, and my guess is even some democrats, both of these parties establishments are owned and controlled by the corporations ... both parties and their corporations have proven that they can not be trusted on anything, many have proven themselves to be weak and incompetent as far as peoples representation, compulsive liars, and will try anything they can to de- escalate tensions, no matter what, and scam something else some way ... they have proven this of themselves time and again.

This strategy to de- escalate tensions and resistance is very common, to get people to disperse, go home for the holidays, forget, while they  make accessibility to the site/ area difficult with fortification of some sort, this strategy is used by law enforcement and government time and again, whether it's in penal institutions, detentions, or in the streets, occupations and regime changes of other countries, as well as these investigations and assessments of environmental damage ... there are 10's of thousands of miles of pipelines as it is, that nothing has been done to stop it by these politicians or their corporations, in fact, it is at all time highs, even fracking and every other source of extraction onshore and offshore is on steroids. Although President Obama did buck the Keystone XL pipeline (CNN), this had to be done for political reasons and upcoming elections ... it was a "party decision", it had nothing to do with "going green" or other politipop nonsense, once in awhile there are some renewable energy research money tossed in, but that also gets harsh resistance from their corporate bosses, and usually results in us having to give the fossil fuel industries and investors much more money through subsidies and breaks. The positive that can come out of this, is possible rerouting of the pipeline ... and YES, it can be done, so dont believe the shit when they say it cant (they could route a damn rover on planet Mars any which way with accuracy and precision to avoid 99% of obstacles), but the companies involved say "no way", they have the courts and politicians on their side so far, but, it may be the most economical thing to do actually, as far as rerouting, because the amount of tensions will only grow if they dont, and it will cost much more trying to police and militarize the area and all the others coast to coast that will jump up and unite in resistance, but I wouldnt look for any of these pipelines to come to a halt any time soon ... and these politicians and courts will play with this for long if they can. It doesnt matter what the issue is in these times, whether it's the environment, healthcare, education, Social Security, etc ... all is going to be attacked, they have so much control as it is, and this time they have legalized the corruption even ... so the way I see it, is this war on Americans and our country by this vermin has just started, and VERY importante to fight them every step of the way ... we have nothing to lose, that wouldnt be lost anywayz by submitting to these parasites. Celebrate this victory now, but stay very vigilant, and never trust any of these folks completely, you have NO reason to, they made themselves perfectly clear as far as their agenda ... in trust, we can rust. Some video and newsread below on this victory.

GROUND ZERO @ STANDING ROCK (PT.1): "WAR ON AMERICA 2016" ... The Resistance, Assistance & Resilience ... The "New WAR Order" Edition ... (CORPORATCOMMUNAZICA PT.12)- (SELF DEFENSE PT.32)- (POLICE BRUTALITY PT.26)- (CHRIS HEDGES PT.1)



'Alarming attack on journalism & the truth at Standing Rock' ... Thanx to RT America




This posting will be to cover some of what has been going on at Standing Rock up in North Dakota, which I look at as Ground Zero, in this latest battle of corporate America vs. The People. Even though I mentioned this DAPL issue in other postings and linked to mainstream news covering it, I didnt have a posting in this journal/ blog that just focused on this, so this will be that. What Josh talks about with Ed Schultz above is the reality of where we stand currently as far as journalism, Constitutional rights, law enforcement (public and private) etc. Much credit to all these people in North Dakota and others, for putting in that extra mile and all they went through, just to preserve what actual democracy and rights we do have left, this is a matter of people defending what is theirs. Hopefully this will energize and fuel more resistance on various avenues across America, while inspiring others around the globe. This posting will serve the "Corporatcommunazica", "Self Defense" and "Police Brutality" series of this journal, and I also wanted to start a series in here for "Chris Hedges" which is past due, considering I been following his work now for several years, so this will start Part 1 for Chris's series too. Some video below starting with U.S. Marine veteran and former Baltimore Police Sergeant Michael A. Wood, Jr. ... after from The Intercept crew, some detailed newsread and video from the front lines, which I chose instead of what I been viewing and reading in much mainstream news coverage, because the mainstream media has been so restricted in how they have to cover this story, so I was searching for something a little more open ... then Chris Hedges on the scene in a video below that ... after, I wanted to add something.

Thomas Hudson Pickering/ Ranch Chimp



This is another example of why I came up with some twisted name like "Corporatcommunazica", because all you see in our country these dayz, is corporate communist's using Nazi tactics in America, and more now in some of the most well known democracies of the globe, while we basically fund them in some way with socialism for them, while letting them impose austerity on us ... which you can credit much of it to these suck ass prepaid governments/ politicians we have today, such as in Washington. Where are our so called leaders and representatives on these issues? ... where does the Obama Administration stand even? ... and what will come after 2017, when our so called "non- establishment" presidential choice, Donald Trump ... who just been choosing a shitload of establishment people from Washington and Wall Street for his cabinet/ administration?, which I halfway figured he would have to do, being he has to use the advice of hard- line establishment Republicans (and even some Democrats), on who to choose, who is the best, who is a good ole boy/ gal, etc ... since he doesnt know as much about Washington, as he knows about business ... when I see folks like Senator Mitch McConnell with a big smile daily ... I know that is trouble ... that miserable SOB hasnt been this happy in years! ... even Wall Street is excited and drooling (I'm not concerned as much about what Trump will do, as much as I'm concerned about what they may do). The dumbest thing of this last election, was those who thought that voting for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, would be progressive or anti- establishment. Standing Rock at this time is ground zero with this new corporate order of war on American citizens rights and property too, this will most likely escalate in so many other areas of the country, being what we will have to deal with come 2017, as far as healthcare issues, the environment, food and product safety, eminent domain measures and property rights, public/ social services (that we solely pay for), and the push for more privatization of much else ... so look at Standing Rock as a kind of test from the corporate sector, to see what we can handle and how hard they can push ... this is an attack on every American in the long haul, native or otherwise. And even force and financial disruption as a resistance is justified against this enemy, and should be applied where needed, it's the same as self defense, and the American thing to do. For those who simply pray for the law enforcement, and hope they love you back, that may not alwayz work, it is difficult to expect peace from those who have none within them ... understand that many of these people attacking you could give a rats ass less about your families, land, or even your sacred burial grounds ... they care only about the money.

Right now, people at Standing Rock are disobeying evacuation orders, and staying where they are in cold and freezing conditions ... the Governor of North Dakota and law enforcement are also threatening to fine, detain and arrest people who bring in supplies or try to assist them ... they say it is for safety ... this is all bullshit, they obviously with concussion grenades in the dark against large amounts of people, as well as spraying them down in below freezing temps with cold water and pepper spray mixes, while shooting them with rubber bullets, even in the back as they leave the scene, having their trained attack dogs bite protesters and their horses ... dont give a shit about safety ... officials deny that they're doing any of this, or use any of these devices, regardless of witnesses and video showing otherwise ... yet how do you explain the grenade pieces pulled out of Sophia Wilansky's arm during surgery? ... it's obvious who the real threat and enemies are. Even in Bismark, which has a metro population of about 130,000, they have their central district lined with militarized police, and have wrongfully assaulted people and detained people, for even using their phones for that matter. Also, I noticed, that many of the security out at Standing Rock, are actually contracted, they are given by the corporation/ company through state and local government (being that government worx for corporations/ banks, not the other way around), to act with the same power as any law enforcement, even many are not wearing name tags, and simply wear law enforcement and military gear ... they do this, like many large companies, to use 3rd parties to do all the grunt work, and so that the company if anything goes wrong, cant be legally held accountable ... or at least have a backdoor to get away with what they want on a technicality. Nor do many of these companies/ corporations care about fines, just like mega banks, you have no problem paying a few million in fines, when you make billions off the act/ deal. An estimated 2000 U.S. military veterans are supposed to show up in a few dayz at Standing Rock, not sure if they will all make it, but, will these rent- a- cops and law enforcement fire upon our veterans in uniform and use the same treatment on them? ... will they be this time attacking our own military defense veterans, only in the interests of corporations?, many of these same veterans fought for these corporations interests abroad at the order of our pre- paid government as it is ... isnt this just like an outside enemy attacking the U.S. and what it stands for? ... to me it sure as Hell is.

When I look closely at a map of this pipeline route and all the miles of undeveloped land along and around the route to Illinois, it is difficult for me to imagine that they couldnt have rerouted it, unless they're just too cheap. As far as the job creation for these thousands of miles of pipelines in the U.S. ... once any pipeline is in full use, how many will it need along it's route to work on it?, the work was building it, when it eventually gets to Texas/ Gulf Coast, refineries will be flooded with work though, and even more environmental issues to deal with. Some pro- pipeline people will say that it is better and safer than railroad transport, as if these companies are doing this for our safety ... that is also twisted garbage ... the pipeline prevents jobs from being created to transport it, if anything ... it's to maximize profits and speed up production and transport while cutting costs to do it, nothing else. There has also been several hundred accidents already ... due to leaks or whatever ... where does the oil go when that happens? ... what if people right here in America out of anger, decide to sabotage pipelines? ... can you keep an eye on the miles and miles of them? The companies involved say that this is for energy independence, and it will all be used right here in America (100%) ... I never did buy that, even before they removed the export ban recently, we already had mega pipeline back when the gas prices skyrocketed even ... you cant find wayz to move this oil or any oil in any market on the globe through a backdoor?, just as the flow of heroin or cocaine will come in this country over our border, regardless of walls, fences, laws or whatever else to stop it ... supply/ $$$$ meets demand. OPEC just announced that they're going to cut production first time in the last 8 years, even Russia is jumping on the bandwagon, which surprised many (Bloomberg) ... and the market is flooded with oil as it is ... what do you think that is about? ... to give us cheaper prices at the pump, and create jobs?, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-) Bottom line, we get forced into a financial bind in America or any country, austerity or whatever, we loosen up more oil, drilling, fracking or whatever, to save us (much needed also for our military as a huge consumer). I'm NOT anti- oil or even corporation, regardless of what I may sound like, but we are too manipulated by these industries, way out of balance, and I dont feel we invest enough money and effort in renewables, which is most certain a big player and market in the energies future. Either way you slice it at this point in history, there has been way too much invested in these lines and fossil fuel production, regardless of politicians telling you for decades on how green their plans are, and it's all about global demand and globalization, like our trade deals, not America as much as we are told. You wont stop this any time soon, but you can still make it as difficult for them and protect our interests, as much as they make things difficult for us, protecting their interests. And fuck their so called designated free- speech zones ... corporate free speech "zoning", or even press, is NOT what free speech rights are about or the First Amendment.

THE VENUS PROJECT/ JACQUE FRESCO: Freeing Ourselves from Force- Fed Feeble- Minded Fear & Failure ... "NEVERMIND, IT CAN'T BE DONE" ... The "New World ON Order" Edition ... (PUBLIC PATRIOTS PT.47)- (GLOBAL WAR'N'ING PT.44)- (The AWAKENING PT.45)


Image result for venus project



Jacque Fresco & partner Roxanne Meadows


***** www.thevenusproject.com


***** YouTube/ The Venus Project channel




This posting will serve the "Public Patriots", "Global War'n'ing", and "The Awakening" series of this journal/ blog ... and to highlight the ideas of Jacque Fresco, his partner Roxanne, and The Venus Project, which I consider as public type patriots, in this case, those who inspire change and alternative ideas to our youth most importantly, who are the future. This has to do with not only social issues, but environmental issues, the future, and the idea of a "resource based economy". But, this is an organization that receives quite a bit of criticism for all they talk about, many call it a cult, and destructive to human progress and capitalism, part of the "new world order" to have us all slaves to robots, computers and artificial intelligence, etc ... one thing for sure though, is we need to put some type of new world direction on "order", eh? Of course, there are plenty of voices yelling in the distance ... "Forget it, nevermind ... it can't be done", most folks that say so much cant be done, also have a cult mentality and agenda, political or otherwise of their own though, with no vision out of the box, and will only keep you in fear, thinking the same way, and running the squirrel cage of their mental prison. I was driving down the freeway here in Dallas friday morning, trying to catch the news on the radio, and it was basically the big news that Thanxgiving Day retail early Black Friday sales were at I believe $1.3 billion, market/ investor confidence is up, because Trump will be President, and folks investing are excited about the possibility of heavy deregulation, etc. The part on the news that really made me bust out laughing, was when they started talking about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Black Friday merchandise sales, I mean, I actually thought it was a joke ... but looked it up online, and found that it is real ... I was trying to picture shoppers excited, trying to buy and fight over getting their Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump merchandise for the holidayz {:-) ... but, this is the level/ mindset we are at, as sad as it is, it still alwayz makes me laugh. Ole Jacque is a Great Depression era kid out of Bensonhurst/ Brooklyn, left home at 14/ 15, left school, didnt like all the institutionalized education and programming, etc ... I mean, I can understand, I left home and school at 14 myself, and felt similar ... so he didnt get the credits as far as a formal type education, basically educating himself in what interested him, and just enjoying life, and this man will be 101 years old this coming march, so he had a decent life. But what he sayz, sure can get alot of peoples panties in a bind, and even online bitch fights can break out, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-) But, what is importante here is the ideas, concepts and vision, so at least give the gentleman a listen, it cant hurt you anymore than the shit that is shoved down your throats and drilled into your brains by this current vermin that runs and rules our societies of today, a couple videos below, a couple links above ... and after the first 2 videos below, I want to add some thoughts and opinion.

If this is difficult to envision or even understand to folks, that is understandable and normal, many of us look at this as science fiction, impractical, nonsense, but why? Because, we all live in the here and now ... we are controlled and force- fed various cultures, politics and beliefs, we are forced to compete and step on each other to please those at the top, you cant make a decent honest living unless you get educated and credited by the approved college/ university institutions, which we have to do, to at least make sure that you know what you are doing in your profession, and now these dayz, have an arm and a leg to pay or be in debt for years to do what you are offered in society if you want to get ahead and pursue a career. All we know is destruction and having to use violence and war to achieve anything from rights to social approval and acceptability to domination, we still even eat meat, which isnt necessary, I myself am just as much a part of it, I even hunted animals and ate what I hunted, this is the way of survival that we known for years, so of course this can be difficult to understand how could something like this work. What in Hell would we do without our feeble minded fears and failures?, or having to please and compete for the benefit and approval of corporations/ financial institutions, politicians and religions/ preachers (what I call the "3- entities" in this journal/ blog), all who fill us with fear of life without them ... is it possible we could still exist? ... I myself have no doubt we could, and even do a Hell of alot better without them and their current system. We fear the wrong things actually, the other day when Stephen Hawkin announced that we have only 1000 years left before extinction of human life, and that robots, machines and artificial intelligence could be of harm to us, etc (Business Insider) ... many folks went into panic mode, it is only natural to maybe have some fear of things like AI, automation/ robotics etc ... ONLY because of those at the top, who control its progress, development and usage, which are the "3- entities". I feel confident that our longevity, health and prosperity, along with the ability to improve the Earth , environment, agriculture, and even migrating to other planets such as Mars, will be greatly improved by these things that many seem to fear, science and technology to me are what will help us so much. I envision just artificial intelligence alone, as taking us into a future of solving so many issues in a few decades that would have otherwise took us centuries or even thousands of years to do, and robotics and automation, as a sort of "man's best friend" actually.

One of the things that I point out so many times throughout this journal, is those who really are in fear more than us ... are the 3- entities that control us, this is why I say that they constantly try to become bigger, bigger and bigger, with bigger empires and monopolies, to make us have to depend on them, so this is why they rathole all the wealth and resources, and take control of all our markets, inventions, technologies, and everything else, so they can continue to reign in power ... because they know that with this future to come, they will be needed about as much as tits on a bull, and truly be more worthless and useless than they are now. As far as their political puppets and religious leaders who they finance well with our hard earned money at that, to keep us in line ... they are about the same worth for most of them, selling their cultural, political, and social snake oil through fear and propaganda. Other fear that were conditioned to believe, is that if we werent slaving for this system and "artificial elite", that we would all become a lazy society sitting on our asses and doing nothing ... dont kid yourself, people will have all kinds of things to do and much more time with less stress to do things, explore, travel, utilize new technologies and science to create, healthy exercising, fun times in the arts, or whatever else they want to do, it is NOT our nature as a species, to just do nothing ... it will spur creativity and innovation as well at a faster rate. It is also good to see now that so many folks are looking into the idea of "universal basic income", and recognizing the challenges that we face, this is also why birth control education is also needed (my views on population moderation and reduction), the more we multiply, the merrier those who are making only a buck/ dollar off of us, and forcing their utopian vision on us, instead of our vision of progress and prosperity on them. I actually believe that we can have a future after this storm of transition we are in now, with less misery and much less population, and a Hell of alot more prosperity and progress on every level. But, enough out of my mouth/ mind ... and I wanted to close with a lecture below that Jacque gave to some folks, much of what we think about, and question, but remain too silent on, out of social or political fear, and just common sense thoughts from the man ... some of it may seem harsh, but reality is harsh ... the listen is well worth it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING & BLACK FRIDAY 2016: Family, Fun, Feast & Folly ... at the Most WONDERFUL TIME of the YEAR in America!


Image result for HAPPY THANKSGIVING & BLACK FRIDAY 2016 ranch chimp journal




Well, It's that most wonderful time of the year again, Thanxgiving and the Black Friday shopping time ... a time of family, love, sharing, and giving Thanx for all we have, and all the fun that we have in America at this time. But, Thank "God/ $$$$" for Black Friday as well, in order to give our all credit economy a boost, where would we be without it ... especially all the money through welfare and subsidies we have to pay our beloved bankers, corporations and oligarchs ... if not for Black Friday, we hardly wouldnt have a damn thing left. We also see in the tradition, that we still to this day try to cheat and rip- off the Native American Indian people who found this land ... today we have evolved in how these minerals/ resources/ oil hoarders treat them, those Native Americans who try to protect their land and waters now, they sic dogs on them, imprison them, and spray them down with cold water hosing in below freezing temperatures (PBS/ KERA) ... which could have been avoided by simply rerouting the pipeline, but the company/ investors are obviously too cheap to ... but, in the holiday spirit, Happy Thanxgiving to you slimy mother fuckers too {:-) As for myself, I'm looking forward to the NFL games tomorrow, which will be a great lineup of games, starting the day when the 6- 4 Detroit Lions host the 6- 4 Minnesota Vikings, then the 9- 1 Dallas Cowboys (best team in the NFL) will host 6- 3- 1 Washington Redskins, the last game will be the 5- 5 Indianapolis Colts will host the 5- 5 Pittsburgh Steelers, all excellent match- ups! I searched for some video and cartoon, that best depicts this wonderful time of the year, and Thanks to all these people for their work, with some videos from video maker Joe Kufel, the crew at SNL, comedian Dnt Jealous Me/ Tolu Ogunmefun, and singer/ songwriter Linzey Rae of the Denver based band "The Anchor".  Other than that, to the viewer of this posting, have a Happy Thanxgiving, and make the best of it!

THE MARS VOLTA: "Wax Simulacra", "Goliath", "The Widow" & "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) "

(left to right) Pablo Hinojos- Gonzalez, Thomas Pridgen, Marcel Rodriquez- Lopez, Omar Rodriquez- Lopez, Cedric Bixler- Zavala, Isaiah "Ikey" Owens, Juan Alderate & Adrian Terrazas- Gonzales ... 51st Annual Grammy Awards, Staples Center, Los Angeles 02/ 08/ 09




This entry into the music/ arts honour roll society of this journal/ blog is a crew that is also past due for this journal, to honour and showcase some of the work of The Mars Volta project out of El Paso, Texas ... considered as a progressive rock crew I guess as far as genre labeling, this is just an outstanding crew, and I also have to credit the genius of Omar and Cedric for the direction of this project ... and as far as vocals are concerned for me ... Cedric is the cream of the crop, and Omar is an outstanding guitarist and producer, just the chemistry of everyone in this Mars Volta crew, was a great recipe and composition. The inspiration of this crew comes from a long list of everything from classic hard rock to industrial and experimental. This project came out of a crew originally called "At the Drive- In" (1993- 2001), then formed Mars Volta, The Mars Volta (2001- 2012) also disbanded and members going into other projects, so they have a long history ... and I would like to see this crew get back together hopefully and do some new work, which they very well may some time, so dont rule that out (keyboardist Ikey Owens passed away) ... having a strong following of support and fans worldwide of The Mars Volta project/ work still. There was some reuniting done in 2014, but to focus on yet another project ... but they have quite a history, yep, including winning a Grammy, and as The Mars Volta years, managed to put out 6 albums ... but I will let the Wikipedia link above handle most of that. I wanted to showcase mostly live work here, because they are really a great live performance crew too, but I also selected a video of theirs to include called "The Widow" ... and Thanx to them for the great pieces of work ... Enjoy!
