World Population

Saturday, July 28th, 2012

How many people can the united States sustain and still keep the American dream going? What’s a good number? 350 million? 650 million? 1 billion?

How many people can the entire planet sustain? Over 10 billion?

Somebody has to ask.

In the end it’s about numbers, how much an infrastructure can comfortably support, and what is necessary to maintain people, resources, and a clean environment while still keeping the dream of success for you and your family (black, Hispanic, Asian, white, mixed, etc.) as a viable goal.

Remember, success is defined differently in many different cultures and it is that unique definition that must be maintained at the local level. Varying tribes, villages, and countries do not need to be brainwashed to be like America. Instead of pushing the west’s version of democracy and corporations upon others (globalization) perhaps maintaining cultures is the way to go. If everyone decides to drop their old ways for McDonalds and Walmart then the exponential growth of humanity will continue and the planet’s resources will dwindle.

2+2=4 is the logic here. Pretty simple stuff to figure out.

Drake Eldorado, Origin… Update!

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

It’s done! That’s right. I finally completed all my edits for Book 3 in the Drake Eldorado series, Origin. As of now this will be the final installment of that series/trilogy. I am currently getting in touch with my book cover designer, Dawn Dominique, so this project can move forward. I am hoping to have this book available by mid-August and no later. That goal remains to be seen but rest assured, Origin is now on the fast track to get into your hands soon.

Beyond the business of writing and getting my work out there for the consumer it is exciting to know that my characters, my interpretation of stories and the world we live in as well as my legacy of the word is getting read. For me, my writing isn’t just a simple story no matter how fantastic it may seem in a surreal sense. My stories (more specifically, Drake Eldorado) is a reflection of not only the self in ways but also of the perilous world that we live in. It aint rainbows and flowers out there. Our overall civilization is coming to a head. We are so divided on so many issues with the prompting of the powers-that-be who keep poking us with sticks (soundbites, negative music, negative movies, divisive politics, drowning us in debt, etc.). The tale of Drake Eldorado and what he must confront is no less real than the bullshit facts that the media claim to be accurate. There is the real world and the ribbon that runs alongside that is merely an interpretation of it. In essence they are one and the same with near identical results.

Before I go too far forward with my thinking I just want to say “Thanks” to everyone who has supported me. Now let’s get this book cover designed and ready for you to read!

Agenda 21

Friday, July 20th, 2012

VIDEO UPDATE: 09/25/12

YouTube video from INFOWARS.COM

________________________________________________________

The title sounds like something out of a low budget conspiracy flick. Unfortunately it’s not. Agenda 21 is very real.

According to the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable DevelopmentAgenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

Basically it boils down to global control of resources and how those resources are allocated. This global power knows no borders, no culture, no religious practices and does not recognize independence or a country’s sovereignty. A comprehensive plan of action all the way down to the local level is another way of enacting an “invasion”. An invasion does not have to be an army of well-armed soldiers raping and pillaging. An invasion can also come from a well-dressed group of men and women who sign paperwork giving legal authority over you and yours WITHOUT your consent. In the past weren’t invasions about gaining control over another’s resources? So what’s the difference? The only difference is that these invasions are propagated behind closed doors and signed onto paper without a shot being fired.

One of the foundations of Agenda 21 is the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development.

When reading the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development paper please pay attention to the grammar (wording and phrases) or lack-there-of. The way it’s written is a very general, broad stroked document that can be interpreted in multiple ways and that’s a major problem when dealing with international lawyers and globalists who are setting down mandatory laws for you and your culture to follow or suffer the penalty for not.

The document is a feel good writeup that basically espouses friendly, international cooperation in the way a country deals with its own environment and people as mandated by global powers. It sounds nice but in reality this is actually a powerful push into a nation and its people’s sovereignty. I’m all for picking up trash and keeping a clean environment. What I’m not into is having a superpower come into my country and tell me and mine how to run my land, my natural resources, what I can and cannot do, and how I MUST deal with such problems even when not verified as a problem by scientific research, testing, and facts.

What we don’t see when reading the minimal Rio Declaration on Environment and Development are the international legal documents that have been drawn up to enforce this “equitable partnership”. As different people with different practices yet with the same basic desire for happiness, liberty and freedom we are all being ensnared by a global, legal framework that we have NO SAY IN. When did you vote on or when were you consulted by your local government on how you would like to see your entire nation be held accountable to a global tribunal of environmentalists, aka international bureaucrats? When did you agree on the penalties? When did you sign on in agreement to having a portion of your crop exported to another nation so you have just enough to get by according to the caloric police?

You see this kind of power can go in any direction. I am highly concerned that this power will only go in one direction – dictatorship. Don’t forget that absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is where our world is headed when a body of global lawyers moves in on your homeland. It begins friendly enough but before you know it, perhaps a few generations on down the time line, they will want more. You can bank on that.

Take a look at money. Here in America we have capitalism. It has been hijacked by rampant and abusive corporatism. There are massive institutions, corporations, and government entities who have pillaged my country of its wealth. They fell under the intoxicating temptation of GREED. Now imagine if certain select people were given power over you, your people, and your nation. Do you believe in your heart that it will end well, balanced, and equitable? No! There’s one thing you can always bet on and win – greed knows no limit. They will screw you.

Don’t wait! Fight back!

Guns Banned

Friday, July 13th, 2012

Venezeula bans private gun ownership. According to the BBC article – Hugo Chavez’s government says the ultimate aim is to disarm all civilians, but his opponents say the police and government may not have the capacity or the will to enforce the new law.

Don’t think that it can’t happen here in the US. There are many anti-gun groups in America. They are just dying to scrap the 2nd Amendment of the US ConstitutionA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The scary thing isn’t the notion of getting rid of guns. What it boils down to is the fact that there are those who believe they can create the perfect world, a world of subservience, a world where the gene of defending one’s self and family needn’t be available. It isn’t about guns. It’s about power and absolute control of the people. Without guns government (the one’s who attack our way of life with debt, aka economic violence everyday) can pass any laws, search you and yours at any time, etc.. Without the threat of self-protection the government and the complicit corporations can have you.

Currently there is one UN treaty that addresses the reduction of small arms – the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Apparently President Obama may sign it.

Small arms (our right to bear arms) will be monitored and eventually regulated by international powers if this trend of giving up American resources, American capital, and American citizen’s rights continues. US sovereignty and law is being watered down. It is no accident that the 2nd Amendment is being attacked. This is a methodical and well-planned move to disarm intelligent citizens who believe in freedom.

In America alone there are thousands of organizations, publications, media outlets, and individuals who are anti-gun. Recently a friend of mine, a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), handed me a list (published by the NRA) of anti-gun radicals. Reading this list you may be surprised who’s on it. People like Sylvester Stallone the actor who has made millions with his Hollywood movie franchise the Rambo series is listed. In a way it’s no surprise about Stallone. He can make money at something so popular and then use those profits to speak out against gun rights. He is deceptive at best and unpatriotic at worst.

“It [2nd Amendment] has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off. It’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Why should we?”
– Sylvester Stallone on Access Hollywood, June 8, 1998

The attack on our rights to bear arms and to protect ourselves, our family and friends, and our property is under attack. Be aware that those in power DO NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART. Government is not about you and your rights. It is about consolidation of power. The question we must ask is, “What is the final goal after power is consolidated?” This is a legitimate query. Beyond that, I don’t care. I don’t want our most basic rights taken away. It’s evil.

After reading this entry it must be evident that what I and many others claim to be happening actually is. How can anyone deny it? What I really wonder is what can we do about it? I want you to write to your local representatives, your local congressman, and even the President of the United States to not sign the ATT treaty. Once you have done that then sign up with the NRA. Last, buy a gun and protect your family from any tyranny that may come knocking on your door.

Stay strong!

A Whole Lotta’ Dope Smokin’ Goin’ On Out There!

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

With the passage of Proposition 215, Compassionate Use Act of 1996, in California “qualified” patients are able to have and possess medical marijuana (as basically stated from Compassionate Health Options). Personally I don’t have a problem with medical marijuana. I do have a problem with the abuse of anything and that includes prescription medication and alcohol. Having seen users/abusers get high on chemicals for much of my young life due to the influences that were around me as I was being raised doesn’t foster a ton of sympathy within for them in one regard. In another regard I want to help those who have had this chemical mask placed over their true self. People that constantly get high, drink, or wallow in some other form of addiction destroy pieces of themselves every time they allow themselves to sink further into their personal Hell.

This brings me back to medical marijuana here in California. There are those who need it and get a prescription for it. On the flip-side there are those who are willing to do anything to acquire a Medical Marijuana Card just so they can get stoned legally. This is abuse. I am concerned that this abuse of a medical drug is being popularized, mishandled, and not respected by not just users but by those who own/run medical marijuana dispensaries and those who actually prescribe medical marijuana.

When doing a search on how many medical marijuana dispensaries exist in California estimates range from 500-1,000 such locations. As you can see in a relatively short time this has become a booming industry. It’s still an industry that is legal for the State of California but the Feds are also still performing raids upon these brick and mortar facilities too. There is conflict there and something I won’t address in this particular post.

I am concerned about the popularization of getting stoned via the abuse of the system that is in place today. When I see websites; such as WeedMaps.com (a mapping site for users to locate medical marijuana dispensaries) and it appears to be flashy, fashionable, and promote the recreational use of marijuana I sense a misuse there. Wouldn’t this be the same if a similar website was designed for those who used Vicodin, Oxycontin or Valium? Right on the site, WeedMaps, there are videos of marijuana users using the drug recreationally and having a great time getting high. Does this not send the wrong message? What if we endorsed videos of users/abusers/addicts having a great time ingesting Vicodin, Oxycontin or Valium?

Responsible use for medical purposes is key. What I’m seeing, with the gift of past knowledge, is a way to bypass the system and get marijuana for recreational use. That’s irresponsible. Our world, our country, and our state is in bad economic shape. Creating a large population of potheads is not going to help us to stay active, civic-minded, responsible citizens. Getting high warps reality, damages the body and the mind, creates a lazy demeanor, and stunts potential.

I agree with those who want to have some fun. Fine. But this fostering of abuse and making it appear flashy and cool is not how medicine should be portrayed. It must be seen as something that is serious as well as necessary to help those who need it. What is going on now is the complete opposite. How are our youth supposed to take marijuana seriously and any other medication seriously if it is treated so irresponsibly? We are doing a diservice to our community and our potential to bounce back as a strong nation of free people. It would be so much easier to just get stoned and have the government provide everything for you.

The ability to acquire a Medical Marijuana Card is pretty simple as well. I have heard for as little as a headache one can become a patient with a prescription for medical marijuana, hence the creation and the use of the Medical Marijuana Card. Places such as Compassionate Health Options, who have locations across the Bay Area and beyond, have medical staff who assess patients for a potential medical marijuana prescription. The simplicity to acquire the card is what bothers me. I know. People lie all the time to get prescriptions of one thing or another. And that is a problem. But it’s the glorification of marijuana, that it’s just a harmless plant attitude that bugs me. It’s medicine not lasagna.

There is a fine balance that needs to be followed. Unfortunately people aren’t always good at regulating themselves especially when going through difficult times as we all are now. In the bigger picture of balance the scales are being tipped in the favor of massive government regulation, dependence upon government, and the eventual loss of what we call freedom today. This is no joke. The downturn in the economy, the loss of American jobs, the flight of corporations to third world countries, the weakening of our dollar, the rise in the price of commodities, the attack on religion, the drug abuse of the population… these aren’t mistakes that happen on their own. It’s all coming together to place you into a state of ignorance and bondage to the growing government imo. Sounds crazy? Well just look around and do some research with an open mind.

I just wanted to state my real concern. I’m not advocating that marijuana be completely shut down. I’ve seen what it can do to people as well as other chemicals. Can we take a step back and address the way it is being promoted or should we all just get stoned?

Are We Being Programmed?

Friday, July 6th, 2012

The title asks the question and I say… wait, no, I yell, “YES! OH YES WE ARE!” Now go watch some porn and smoke some government approved weed you dope. After your most animalistic desires have been satisfied put on your fake, QVC bling and go waste your paycheck at some big underwear sale you dumb mush head.

Anyway this video, How To: Stupify Society p1, is a great way to kick this question off. It has about 21 parts posted on YouTube. In all honesty though, watching stuff like this is a downer. Isn’t it better to be dumb and dumber? It sure feels better.

I think I’ll just go hang my head low, grab a box of Fiddle Faddle and watch reruns of Happy Days so I can ease back into my old brainwashed self at a leisurely pace.
