Why the name Ranch Chimp? it was in humour because, science says that humans have similar DNA to a chimpanzee,so I felt some way related biologically to a chimpanzee. 2nd, everytime I was out of Texas on a vacation or for whatever reason I’m always asked things like, do I live on a ranch?,or have cattle? so I commonly call Dallas the Ranch. "Politically Depressed" was also humour inspired by the 1993- 2002 Bill Maher TV/ tele show "Politically Incorrect".

POPULATION REDUCTION, RESPONSIBILITY & PROSPERITY: The Inevitable Reality ... Be FRUITFUL Yet FORTIFY ... The "High on the HOG & Living like DOGS" Edition ... (GLOBAL WAR'N'ING PT.32)
***** NOTE (monday 05 may 2014): I have alwayz been an advocate for selective type breeding and eugenics, (not in the negative sense such as justification for folks actions like the Nazi's, but some of the research into it and idea's of it, to educate ourselves ... I think many ideas old and new should be explored and researched if it's beneficial to our species as a whole) I am pro- choice and pro- life both, just not in the popular sense. I dont or wont reproduce with a woman who has defects ... physically or deformed, mentally, or deficient in some way or have a familia history of such, etc ... or a woman who is addicted to drugs legal or illegal, including alcohol (the woman's body nurtures and feeds the fetus for 9 months), I'll engage in sex, but no reproduction, and I am very strict about this ... and breeding those mentally and physically strong if possible. I am a step beyond "pro- choice" folks because I believe in government paid/ sponsored birth control, abortion and even sterilization (in extreme cases, to where the children/ offspring would simply live a life of suffering or misery) ... and I am more humane, compassionate and supportive of life than the "pro- lifer" since I'm opposed to reproducing illness and defects and putting more humans in misery, with more respect for human life in so by at least trying to reduce some of the misery and suffering ... so by todayz wimpy politipop standard's/ definition, I would be considered as "extreme" both left and right ... which I have pointed out throughout this journal at one point or another.
This subject has a lousy public opinion view though, and associated with racism, nazism, etc, in our pop- culture pre- programmed thinking. I dont base my support or practice of this on race, hair colour, nationality, cultures/ religions, financial/ class status or other things that this is popularly associated with, but base it on basic science and nature. Nor am I into any of this you hear about the rich folks wanting to kill off masses of people or whatever, but the top wealth knows that there is a need for this reduction and planning of future population too. My reason and interest in this, is to not over- breed more of the same in defective, unhealthy, or other people with related problems/ issues. I simply believe in education and research in this area and also things like supplying teens with paid birth control/ contraceptives, etc. We selectively breed our animals and plants, yet when we talk about selectively breeding humans, it is frowned upon and associated with Nazi's and conspiracies to wipe out certain races or classes of people, and has alot of other negative history as far as human rights ... and that is one of our weaknesses when we dont think and just go on negative media. Medical science has come a long wayz and alwayz finding wayz to improve our lives, so being open to ideas and research has been very positive for the species, of course there are some with ill intention's like with anything else.

Part 32 of this journal's "Global War'n'ing" series is just that ... a "warning", but NOT strictly environmental, but a warning in so many other wayz from our economies to our social atmosphere, stability, prosperity, etc, etc, which I will explain in my part after. This is not a popular issue either, I believe this week the popular news that has so many worried and bent out of shape, would be the racist rancher or racist basketball team owner ( I also read that the NAACP was just fixin to give the basketball team owner an award of honor of some sort ... um, um, um ... imagine that ), while getting hammered with stupid Geico insurance commercials in between ... BUT ... this is very importante. Part of this posting's title was inspired by a popular phrase out of the Book of Genesis/ Holy Bible (no ... I dont follow any of the pop- culture religion's or ever did, for me 'God' is defined through nature, not some written word of a man, tribe, guru or cult ... and 'morality' is found in other animal's too, not just human's ... but yes, I enjoy biblical writing's/ stories) ... where it sayz to "be fruitful and multiply" ... being we have done a great job at that already and congratulation's ... so it's all part of life to be fruitful, but also to fortify and sustain a decent living standard, just as any person would want from the richest to poorest. But first I was going through various video's to find one that would be appropriate for this somewhat sensitive issue, so I chose the actor Alexandra Paul for this posting, who sum's it up fairly well at this TEDx gig ... then a few linkread's below that on opinion's, fact's and thought's, then I will add some to this after.

Thomas Hudson Pickering aka "Ranch Chimp" & "Commie Tommie" (the car is a 2013 ZL1 Chevy Camaro convertible, with a LSA 6.2 liter supercharged V8 and 580 horsepower engine ... it dont fuck around (half- step), and neither do I : )
This can be a sensitive issue for many folks, my wife and I both come from fairly large families too. This is an inevitable reality that were all going to have to address at some point, and dont expect our puppetized leader's or the 1% puppet master's to deal with this issue, as a matter of fact there are 1001 thing's to read on conspiracies of the so called 1% paper doll elite or New World Order to depopulate the world ... I cant say that it's true or not, or that they are even thinking about it either much at this point. But you know that especially the 1% have no use for the million's in masses of folk's that are unproductive or dont contribute to their new capitalistic ventures of consuming, spending, etc, etc, besides in some third world countries to have a rapid population growth to have young kids abundant to hand mine/ pan for gold or do other slave wage detail's ... the 1% or their puppet's frankly dont give a shit whether we live or die ... and would be happy to see the population downsize to the point to where every living remaining human would be an asset only to their paper and plastic kingdom's ... most of who are living high on the hog, and could care less if were living like waste dump dogs. Some like myself feel like them 1% about the 1%, that we dont need those 1% either, what in Hell do they do for us? So depending on most of these dictator leader's, fruitloops and so called 1% elite to solve our problems when push comes to shove is like pissing in the wind, that is why it's our responsibility to pull together more, educate, and work on it ourselves for ourselves ... for our own prosperity, not for just the concern's or prosperity of the 1%, which we do too much for.
When it comes to jobs for instance, one of the thing's that I stress throughout this journal is that due to the losses of jobs over the last decade, even in America it would be a huge challenge to try to catch up and really get out of the red mathematically looking at it, regardless of what any of the pie- charts show you, just common math and sense shows you what were up against, so that's mostly political talk, sure were creating job's which is a positive over losing anymore, but not nearly enough, and we cant even touch the demand for such of the new young graduates and workers that will be entering the workforce annually. The fact is that the job arena is changing, kind of like back over 110 year's ago when electricity, car's, industrial manufacturing, etc, etc was the new thing, then year's later it helped create the strong middle class that this country once had, and still has better than many countries ... you see now, were going through another transition over a century later, and it will be rough for many as back over a century ago when many folk's had to change over to the new to develop into the new industrial age and move forward. Back then it hurt folk's like my great grandfather's livery stable business where he leased horses and carriages because of the mass production of the automobile, it hit the blacksmith's, then when big tire manufacturer's came with their contract's for buses, it hurt the street car business (buses can take you places rail's cant and are easy to change routing, so it was a "new" thing), etc ... electricity became in large use, and thing's just changed. We are going through that again with new tech's ... and thus it does create job's, but also eliminates alot more, just as I was a pre- press man in the printing industry, my skill's today in the field are obsolete because of technology and robotic's have replaced us. So like of over 110 year's ago, it will take at least a generation to get a decent hand on making this new system work for the majority ... is about as clear and uncomplicated as I can put it.
Whether or not our carbon footprint harm's the environment as much as some say or not, I cant tell you, but our waste couldnt be too positive, eh? But so far I have also no reason to think that masses and masses of new people will be any environmental positive to the earth, but we should be concerned on the impact that it will have on us, which is evident right now. As new technologies and sciences evolve and expand, manufacturing will also change even more drastically with so much being made from 3-D printer's, I even seen this video the other day where in China they used a 3-D printer to make 10 houses or so in one day as example. This so called 1% dont care about much of this besides just having enough people to overpopulate the work arena to keep people desperate and willing to reduce their payscales in competition to keep their head's a lil above water. There are still famine issues, health issues and all that need to be addressed, and this hog wild bunch arent touching it much they're so intoxicated financially right now.
It is importante to take a serious look at how we populate ... the idea of old on this issue of the more the merrier may not be so great of an idea to embrace like we once did. So it's importante to focus strongly on birth control and new idea's where it is needed too ... otherwise we are going to just drive ourselves into more misery than we have. Everyone and new entrepreneurs are trying to jump into this new arena as a future investment, which I also point out through this series on the big business going green will become as far as future investing and getting a foot in the door and market. And you will have many big winners as you see now with the money that some are making, but you will have 1000x times the amount of loser's that will have to wait till thing's catch up to where we can all prosper, which will take at least a generation or two, but it will get better, rest assured ... again, same way it happened with new rising star's and innovative thinking entrepreneur's/ investor's, inventor's, engineer's and such with also alot of folk's losing their ass during that transition back over a century ago. So right now focusing on our reproduction is very importante, and to not overdo it.
Enough for now ... Word Out ....

SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN/ "A FIGHTING CHANCE": Elizabeth talk's about her New Book with Charlie Rose ... The "CREAM OF EXTREME" Edition (ELIZABETH WARREN PT.10)
***** The Book: "A Fighting Chance"
Part 10 of the "Elizabeth Warren" series of this journal will be to highlight a 23 minute video interview linked below from the "Charlie Rose Show" the other night, Elizabeth talk's about her new book "A Fighting Chance", but much more when she is questioned by Charlie on her stand of these importante issues. I also want to say I dont do these posting's because I have a 'thing' for politics ... I really dont ... a buddy and musician "Mikey" was browsing through my blog a couple weeks back and found alot of this stuff concerning politics, money, etc as "boring" and too lengthy ... although he likes the music or humour posting's alot he sayz ... but I have been told this on several occassions by some folks in the past, but as I explain in the welcome posting linked below, I am not a writer, and this journal is just that ... a personal and inde journal more or less, or like one keeping a sort of diary. I write about these thing's because I see them as very importante, especially when we see so many of our neighbour's, friend's, families struggling at times to get by ... sometimes these issues are politically and economically more importante than some of the petty social issues we nitpick each other over, whether it's sex, religion, culture or other pop- culture related issues we waste valuable time debating and arguing over.
Also let me add that simple "fix- all" politipop buzz phrases like "Tax the Rich" is NOT a silver bullet, and Elizabeth know's this well ... importantely she talks about when we loan/ bail- out money to entities with "no string's" attached, something that I point out through this journal as well, in other word's, everybody in the arena of finance, borrowing, taxation, etc, should have to pay to play. I'll give you/ corporate/ banking a tax break, but it will be a contractual bargain/ deal to have you as well contribute back to the country, eh? ... it's just common sense ... neither do any of these too big to fail entities even loan out money, give break's, or bail any of each other or us out without string's/ contract's ... and neither should we, eh? And every corporate CEO would agree with Elizabeth or me on that as far as the "rules of the game", so DONT feed us your nickle and dime used car salesman bullshit about how business is a one- way financial subsidies street. I understand helping folks out financially, whether their business people or poor working class, I am a self educated street kid who went through plenty of trying times financially and otherwise in my past and even slept on the New York City Subway as a kid ... but help and compassion is a two way street.
Elizabeth and I grew up around the same era, where we had a chance to see just how great of a country this can be, she came from the trenches, a school drop- out, married at 19 year's old and attended a $50 buck semester community type college at a time to try to get some further education, like millions of other American's, she been around the block and stayed true to her values, never forgetting where she came from. What really get's me is how many in todayz politipop culture look at folks like Elizabeth as "extreme" which inspired part of the posting's title ... she is called an "extreme leftist", even a communist by some, and many on Wall Street either fear her or outright hate her ... you have to wonder ... why? ... that should tell you something and "who" is spending the money to publicize such nonsensical propaganda. What is this woman saying that is so extreme? ... she doesnt hate bankers, and is VERY pro- business (more than I can say for some of the most conservative folks on Capitalism Hill) ... is it wrong or politically unfashionable to not want to get burned by their bank or mortage holder, credit/ debit card company or whatever? ... are alot of the things that she talks about, not what everybody from the poverty stricken to the successful business entrepreneur concerned about at some point in their lives? ... what is so un- American about anything she sayz?
I have wrote plenty about this so called crisis we have in America throughout this journal ... why? ... because it is a bunk street hustle done on a larger scale is all. As Elizabeth point's out as well ... where is the help to our smaller bank's who depend so much on the largest investment banking establishment's? ... why have these that we bailed out, ratholed everything offshore and not let a dollar trickle down to where it came from hardly, besides their workcrew's that they hire? When I started this journal back in 2008, we were recognizing how bad too big to fail can be and what it can do to our economies, everybody on both the left and right and inde agreed on that ... yet ... we contributed through our legislative action's to come to a point in 2014 where these very institution's that are way too large, are now nearly 40% larger than then. Whenever you talk out of the box of mental confinement today, you are extreme, politically incorrect, a loser, a commi, a bigot or whatever. But if you want truth ... that's about the only place you can find it ... so listen to this so called radical anti- corporate/ banking extremist Elizabeth below while trying to remain as unbiased and bipartisan as you can ... and ask yourself ... what is so nutty or extreme about any of what she sayz?

SANDERS/ WARREN 2016: America's need to RALLY for Any REAL Rivalry ... Call's for an Armed CALVARY ... (ELIZABETH WARREN PT.9) & (From The FOXHOLE with Bernie PT.19)
This posting to serve both the "Elizabeth Warren" & "From The FOXHOLE with Bernie" series of this journal. And what inspires this posting is the endless media saturation concerning the push for Hillary Clinton now by so many mainstream Democrats, an overwhelming majority actually, and already from what I gather Boeing Corp. has millions to put on her, not to mention every other big money entity who are currently laying low right now but ready to do the same, and of course there is also perhaps this Clinton- Obama deal talk too, which of course I been suspecting ... otherwise I wouldnt even post on this yet, if it wasnt that critical. YET ... of course Clinton has been smiling and declining to announce a thing, although I would bet my Dallas Cowboys training shorts that she is going to run at the rate this is going right now, I just think she's playing it off and building this anticipation cult circle of sort, all the spotlight is on her only, from news media to tele shows, to radio shows, etc. I mean ... you know damn well hundreds of millions in campaign funding is in the kitty already and will hit the arena like a goddamn tsunami once she gives the green light, with of course, millions of people jumping for joy, etc. Maybe she will decide not to run, but how likely is that considering all the spotlight there is on her now to run, as well as campaigning organizations already in motion to back her?
But there hasnt even been any talk yet about competition from Democrats, and I realize its early, but they're also pushing this Clinton campaign as if the election was this November, and hard! With the money that will be pumped into this next election 2016, which will probably be the most in history I am guessing, there needs to be some alternative, competition, a sort of rally from Americans for any kind of real rivalry ... and to do that against such power houses like the Clinton's ... you will need a calvary armed and ready to go at it at the drop of a hat and point out the issues and exactly where the Clinton's stand on them, THAT is what IS IMPORTANTE, not this nonsense talk on her new hairstyle, new outfit, being a new grandma, or how many pop- bands/ celebrities or whatever endorse her ... THE ISSUES that make and break our lives, country and economies is what is IMPORTANTE, and a record on those issues too. Sanders and Warren have a lengthy record and resume on where they stand as you can see throughout these series in this journal, I have been supporting these two for a long time now. I question deeply where Clinton stands?, and know that her husband Bill will have alot of influence whether its known or not, if/ when she got in a position like President, she has been very close as well with the very entities that have taken this country into the ground.
As a voter I sacrifice as it is, I vote Democrat even though I am bi/ tri- partisan and more independent, I am very strong on support for our veterans/ military, I am pro- business, as well as very strong on pro- gun rights, yet I also am more willing to vote for a more progressive person on the Dem side who may be willing to attack gun rights (although folks like myself who grew up with gun's will be pro- gun/ defense probably for life and alwayz use them regardless of any politician's opinion and stand on them) ... simply because of the serious issues we face concerning the push for austerity and corporate communism, slashing our Social Security, and giving all our money away to offshore foreign investment banking ventures, etc, etc ... so I had to "weigh" myself on the hard choices of who to vote for, what is more importante, etc, as I point out throughout this journal. I like million's of other American's spend alot of time to "vote", in lines, etc ... I really doubt that those pumping the most into these election's today that are worth million's or billion's even vote at all ... why would they? ... we or our political representation would probably be lucky to even get 5 minutes of their time to talk in many cases. This campaign financing of today has to have some cap put on it, more transparency, etc ... I believe in equal voting rights, and those 'so concerned' to spend million's of their own personal money to pump into these election's (which probably get reimbersed some how with tax subsidies), should be equally concerned enough to stand in line, mail- in or any other way that everyone else has to vote or be heard, they should not get special treatment, only fair and equal opportunity to voice their opinion and vote.
Will Bernie Sanders Run Against Hillary Clinton? ... Thanx to REICH- WING WATCH

As a voting Democrat, I EXPECT alot more, especially here in Texas to see a lil more diversity and is why I voted Wendy Davis for Governor, considering what this nation is up against that I write so much about throughout this journal, and I dont expect to have to vote for someone like Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden or those in that circle of Democrats. We are in some real challenging times as you can see daily all around you, and frankly too much of Wall Street has gained too much power and too much voice in our politic's ... so we must have more progressive and even if you like to say ... "extreme type measures" to tackle the corporate/ banking challenges ahead, lolligagging around with these pop- culture candidates and those who proven to be weak will not do. And just because President Obama may support one of these pop- culture candidates doesnt mean a thing, I like the President and appreciate what he has tried to do ... but we need something stronger with some kind of track record to go up against this cesspool. I am not against Hillary Clinton, I feel she is not suited for the job to serve the best interest's of the people of this nation ... Obama was more bipartisan and cutting edge than her, and even he ran into endless obstruction. Meaning we need something much stronger if we at least want to really put up a fight.
Sanders and Warren are two that have that resume so far ... although I know that many of the big money people will not like putting too much on them, but we dont have much left ... there has to be a real progressive overhaul especially in the Democrat Party, or else there wont be much difference between them running things and mainstream Republicans, besides some social issues on sex, marriage equality, womens rights. etc ... but the money issues wont be addressed in an efficient manner, we have been getting milked dry continuously across the board, and because of the actions of the mainstream of the left and right, that is a serious issue that need's to be ADDRESSED, NOT just talked about during speeches showcased. We have not had action ... Warren and Sanders have had much action in their resume. I dont care if it would be Sanders/ Warren or Warren/ Sanders, if Warren doesnt want to run for President, ask her to run as a VP choice at least with Sanders or the other way around, etc ... but the two would go good together at least to raise some action, although I know how much of a challenge they would face, but we need something different. In 2016, I dont want to hear the same ole nonsense again out of these mainstream Democrats about, it's either this evil or the other, etc, etc ... or how there is no other way, etc, etc ... I want some real choices, and millions of other voting Democrats and American's do as well ... otherwise ... trust me ... you will lose us.
Word Out ....

CLIMATE CHANGE/ GLOBAL WARMING: A Portrait of Progress 2014 ... "The RICH Man's CRISIS" ... Developing Countries into a SEA of FILTH ... The LAYING DOWN the LAW Edition ... (GLOBAL WAR'N'ING PT. 31)
Beijing, China
Part 31 of the "Global War'n'ing" series will be Judy Woodruff of PBS NewsHour with guests Robert Stavins and Maura Cowley in the below PBS link talking about some of the challenges we have as far as how we will clean up this mess, especially with our polarizing political atmosphere (all created by special corporate/ banking interests to keep us desperate and at each others throats, debating, and wasting endless years in such), and right now the main media's are pretty heavy on the 2016 candidates for the 2- party choices for a Presidential run, those choices are both awful regardless of which side, etc. So this is not the biggest news, but an issue that ALL nation's need to address a Hell of alot more than we are right now ... so NO ... it's NOT good enough. The pictures for this posting was to look at our progress as far as so called "developing countries" ... a portrait. Part of the posting's title was inspired by Charles Lane of Washington Post when he quoted former President G.W. Bush saying that "climate change is a rich man's issue" ... I have to agree with Lane and Bush on that one ... cause believe me .... it sure as Hell will be in the longrun. First the video/ transcript below, then I will add some.
***** PBS NEWSHOUR: As another report urges action, how can U.S. overcome obstacles to effective climate policy? (video/ transcript)
Southeast Asia
Being a father and grandfather, this is the kind of thing that I cant stress enough to our kids, they are the future as Ms. Cowley points out. As far as Mr. Stavins pointing out about making some kind of economy- wide carbon pricing system ... well ... it's a start, and will hit importantely the pocketbooks/ wallets of those with the most money to pour into this international developing cesspool of filth, but NOT good enough. I say that because basically what all you propose in doing such is telling folk's they have to pay now to pollute, that's about as good as addressing this as the recent proposed laws in Dallas to charge a .05 cent plastic bag charge to clean up the plastic bags littering the Metroplex ... you dont charge a goddamn tax to pollute, you simply look at what's causing the problem and outlaw it in some way, bottom line. Like I say it's a start, but we need to cap some of this activity, simply taxing a few bucks to do more of the same is more horseshit like fining an insurance company who refuses to give you life and death needed surgery, basically the insurance company would choose a $10,000 fine over a $100,000 surgery (ding- ding- ding ... think!) ... your telling these that create this carbon and other pollution, they can keep on just trashing everything and keep paying fee's, fines or taxes? ... this is where international laws come in, they want to make money? ... they need to be forced to do things like Hyundai Steel , or make folks do things like in Malmo, Sweden for examples. Their spending money as it is paying fines, penalties, and property damages/ losses or whatever ... spend that money on investments in the industry for alternatives and you'll get more bang in the longrun on your investment, eh?

As far as developing countries? ... what the Hell are you developing them into? ... as far as progress? ... are these pictures of progress? Global Warming is still questionable if it's man- made? ... well what are these pictues of progress on this page? ... is that man made? ... or does it need a few more decades of dumb debating? ... perhaps we can call in some scholar rent- a- scientist's to analyze it more for the next 20 years, eh? Maybe I can just toss my old oil from changing the oil on my car into the curbside sewer in our advanced progressive civilisation and not worry if it will affect any of the drinking water around town, eh? How much is all this damage and degradation going to cost not only the masses of population, but all those largest investors? Can the climate related disasters drain and bankrupt some corporations? ... it sure as Hell can, the thing is ... where does new revenue come in after the fact and damage? ... the clean up?, reconstruction? ... isnt it alot more of a sound investment to pay the money now to advance with real progress into the alternative future energies, have a head start jump on the marketplace in doing so, then enjoy the benefit and wealth later that will come from that investment? Simply telling ya'll to clean up your act wont do it at this point alone ... we need hardline legislation and international law to put a cap on this, or else it will put a cap through nature in time on all our economies, and all will lose ... rich and poor. Try to talk to a piss drunk friend and tell them that they dont need to get behind the wheel and drive ... you DONT if you really care ... you take their goddamn keys and make sure they dont ... their shit- faced intoxicated ... do you think they can think straight? ... of course not ... neither can one who is financially intoxicated think straight.
Mexico City, Mexico
One of the things that I pointed out for years as well as since the beginning of this journal, is that it does not matter how green we go in America, when all the money, especially our money is being taken to the new so called developing countries to be invested to make this cesspool of filth even larger ... as Mr. Stavins points out, we need to focus more on places like Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Korea and Mexico, they will and are outdoing us as far as damage to the environment. Even G.W. Bush when he was President criticized the Kyoto treaty because it didnt hold the same standards to folks like China ... is that not true? ... of course its true, while we are being told to buy several thousands of these bunk ass electric cars or whatever, they are putting a million new cars on the roads per month in countries like China, opening up new coal plants monthly, etc, etc. Sure we feel great or folks in Malmo or other places actually trying to do something, but what about the other countries that hold the majority of the earth's population? And who will feel the pinch from it? ... the entire earth, thats who. All these folks massively investing in some of these countries are thinking about is profit's, not the conditions of which the folks have to live or any of the catastrophes they have to encounter ... just as long as they can get truckloads of cheap labour, resources, and an abundance of population growth to produce and consume more ... their happier than a junkie with a couple pounds of heroin, and distracted from the damage they are doing to even themselves.
Haiti Garbage Canal
As Ms. Cowley points out, the growing voices and votes of that millennial population means alot, despite how Judy Woodruff points out as far as what these poll's say ... these folks are going to turn out in the near future in record numbers opposed to this crap and especially opposed to this ancient left/ right political polarization nonsense, they are not dumb and can see through our baby booming shit well! ... they know their getting the shit end of the stick more than ever. That is what many of those with the big money are missing, like this 1%, they just think that the masses are a bunch of dumb- asses that sit around not thinking of nothing but tweeting, stuffing their faces with junk food or whatever ... they are smarter than what ya'll think, know the score and frankly are sick and tired of the shit! They hear about things like alternative/ renewable energies and are in the thick of working/ engineering on them, and know damn well that there are other possible abundant fuels such as Thorium ... and that is where the 1% is dumb and intoxicated when they dont see and know that ... they are just as dumb and pre- occupied with their wealth and profits, which means they are missing the boat as far as financial investments of importance, weighing gains/ losses etc. You dont think these young people all masked up to go out on the street in Beijing see what is happening and feel it? ... my nephew spent a couple years in Beijing and told me about how bad pollution is in China first hand, the way he described it was almost unbelievable, multiple times more harsh than the worst dayz I seen in LA (Los Angeles).

We people/ citizens dont just need to change our thinking because of the crises we face weather related or otherwise, but especially the big money needs to change, because they are going to get hit with the crises of their investing lifetimes as well.

THE CREEPSHOW: "Hellbound", "The Devil's Son", "Zombies Ate Her Brain", "Sinners And Saints" & "Take My Hand"
***** THE CREEPSHOW/ FACEBOOK
This induction to the music/ arts honour roll society of this journal will go to Canada's "The Creepshow" ... and this is just a great crew all around ... so I'm a lil late getting them in here. The crew is out of Burlington, Ont, which is halfway between the Toronto and Buffalo/ Niagara Falls metro areas. No doubt that this is one of the class acts to come up in this sort of punk and psychobilly genre sound, with how they have drawn their audiences in live performances as far as audience participation, sing- a- longs, etc, they have been doing well though all over the place, ideal for that smaller intimate type setting for just some great sound and party type atmosphere too.
They did have quite a turnover as far as lead vox ... being they had Jen Blackwood, then her sister Sarah came in, Sarah then went off into another thing she was working on with another crew, around 2012 Kenda Legaspi was brought in ... and all these vocalists/ guitarists are really good, I mean ... I cant choose one over the other, they just all worked great with this crew, and with Kenda they are evolving into a next phase. They been around now since 2005, so their well established and have 4 studio albums and booked worldwide now, they have really great harmonizing from the whole crew as far as backing vox harmonies, instrumentally versatile, and on the Hellcat label. They also played as an opening act with an old buddy locally Reverend Horton Heat in their past.
They like to write the majority of their stuff based on horror films (obviously with the titles and video {: ) ... and they add that old school punk influences with a fresh flare with them great vox blends and a more diverse instrumental blend, yet still keeping a raw fresh sound. Their songs are short which made me post 5 here (the "Ramones" kinda mastered doing short song's, being that I dont recall a band that I ever seen do as many song's in a 45 minute first set as them), and I wanted to mix it up using video pieces over live from what I had to select from to showcase that sound better, and mix their older and newer stuff. I hope to see Kenda at least stick around for awhile too, she does well! ... and wishing this crew the best ... Enjoy!

First of all to our allies, neighbours and citizens of Belgium and Europe I want to apologize sincerly for ya'll even to have to pay any of this due to the circumstances ya'll even face financially ... it is shameful and an embarrassing blemish on my country's (USA) image. As ya'll probably know, we especially in America have a terrible expenditure culture in Washington when it comes to this sort of thing.
When I first heard this, I didnt believe it and had to read up a tad on it, then I asked some folks locally in small chat to try to guess how much a trip/ visit like this cost's? ... and a few had no idea, but had no shock or question when I told them (they expected that much), one guy answered $4 million and one lady answered $6/ $7 million ... that there was what I found appalling, the fact that average working American's were not suprised and expect this. Of course for political reasons some Republican's stated how in shock they were ... but that's pure bullshit, if they are truely shocked, they dont need to be working in their positions or getting a paycheck from us ... because a reaction like that would prove that they have no idea what in Hell is going on in Washington, so that's a lie, you cant work in that environment and not know what is going on with this kind of spending, especially ya'll on these budget committee's and those who work for you, then whenever it comes time to tighten budget's, propose and draft legislation to cut mainly public and social services to us who pay the bloody taxes and expenses to begin with, cutting our children, veteran's and elderly on down the line! This is just more nonsensical horseshit to blame the Obama Administration for these expensive expenditure trip's, because of these crummy election's coming up this year, and most will sweep it under the rug, because so many in Washington has way too many expensive trip's, vacation's, rental car and expense reimbersements, tax write- offs, and all kind's of treat's all paid for by tax money ... this culture is deep.
And I'm not trying to be some cheap tight- ass and saying that the President or any of our representation in government need's to eat and lodge cheap at places where everyone else goes, I know that would be impossible considering how they are likely targets, especially abroad. Transporting his armoured vehicle (aka "the Beast") for example is a plus and good expense decision. It is very importante as well for all that go on these visit's, vacation's or whatever down to a person just shuffling paperwork and running errand's to be protected too, because they are even more vulnerable to get kidnapped or harmed to negotiate, be a bargaining chip, make a statement, avenge/ revenge etc, etc, but with some of these tabs/ bills, I know that better expense planning and measures can be taken ... just as you would do in any business. And despite the comedy or wisecracks about the President living large or whatever ... I believe that he would even be a tad appalled if he had the time to sit down and go over these expenses himself.
This is not only the shame of this culture in Washington, but their to blame as well ... you know damn well that the President doesnt sit down with a paper and pen and fill out forms/ requisitions to travel, needed "x" amount of vehicles and 900 of his closest buddies, etc, etc ... or handle his own security, and probably doesnt even know how much each trip is going to cost until after the fact, providing he has enough time to even investigate it, but he probably suspect's that it cost's out the ass, otherwise he has no way of telling. All of those in Washington who plan and figure out these trip's and visit's should be responsible for such outrageous spending and planning. You cant tell me that there is no way to tighten the budget on this sort of thing, and still have tight security to protect our President's crew, and still have first class type accomodation's ... that is pure bullshit! And as far as Republican's or anyone naming the President on this, as if he plans and writes up what he need's to travel or whatever ... ya'll know damn well whoever is in the Oval Office, even if it was Mitt Romney this year ... the same thing would have been spent ... this whole culture of these expenditures needs to be tossed in the trash can and started over from scratch, and do it over and over if necessary until you get that shit right!
