I must tell you this wonderful tidbit about a fellow employee, which turned out to be many other employees. I do the work that many folks I know, could not do. It has taken me some years to come to this realization, but I did reach it. I am a counselor in two group homes with autistic and developmentally disables adults. I have been doing this pretty much my whole adult life.
There were a few years when I got away from it to "make some real money", that was a mistake. The people I take care of, are the most wonderful, caring, loving people I know. The few years I dealt mostly with "normal" people, SUCKED.
There is so much more to life than a good paycheck. If you cannot understand that, and there are many of you, then I really do feel pity for you.
My fellow counselors are a diverse group. The other day, one of them asked me if I had heard about "disclosure?" I quickly dropped a few names and facts that I have been learning about, and we bonded. There are others at my new job who have been asking about various other "memes", NSA, UFO, collapse, TWA Flight 800, 9/11, the list is quite extensive. This gives me hope. I have few friends who I can talk about these topics without getting "the look." If you have been reading this blog, then you know what that look is. The only person I can completely be honest about these topics is my brother, Gitmo Glen. I cannot tell you how many times I thought I was going to burst with information, or ideas, that I could only share with him. Everything was bottled up inside, and when I finally talked to him, I felt I was literally pouring out my soul.
These fellow employees, are at least 20 years younger than I am, for that reason, I am seeing hope. These people are not the mindless sheeple that seem to permeate society today. These are not the drones who sit in front of the television with glazed eyes. These are the young people who will be changing the world in the future.
There is hope. There is a chance that maybe we can turn this whole thing around. The police state will not win. Skynet will not become self aware with this informed generation at the wheel.
Go out and spread the word, pass that seed of information to someone, you never know what will grow out of it.

Look Over Here, It's Irish Joe.
Holy Shitstorm Batman,
They are everywhere, and there is more and more all the time. That is how I am feeling at this present time. It was just recently that I started in "tweeting" in earnest. I have quickly come to the conclusion that I am not alone, not alone at at all. I was wondering what to call myself and all the "others" I have discovered. After a lot of deep soul searching I came up with this, we are what you would call "human" we are all endowed with inalienable rights, of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yep, that sums us up.
We are united in thought, we are united in a feeling that there is something terribly wrong in the direction that this country is heading. We have been lied to, we have been deceived by the elected leaders, by the evil banksters who are trying to pluck every penny from our pockets, by local officials who grant permits to corporations and give them tax breaks that us regular slaves of Gitmo Nation can never get.
We are surrounded by ugly strip malls, that rip the character out of any small town. There are so many conglomerates in the mix, with this mega corp. buying that business, merging with the other company, and before you know it, Jimmy Kimmel has to apologize for a joke to the country of China, because his parent, parent parent company is building a Disneyland in some frikin town there.
When will this madness end? I have no idea. The politicians are in bed with the Military Industrial Complex, they have armed the police state in every town with weapons of mass destruction to such a degree, that if any marginal protest gains momentum, it will be squashed like a bug, but soon there will be millions of bugs. We have the NSA recording every sms, email, website, phone call, that any semblance of privacy is gone. But, as Edward Snowden has shown us, there are some people who work there, who might still have their soul intact. There just might be someone on the inside who will help us, all is not lost.
Alas, there is some hope. It looks like there are more people waking up all the time. The occupy movement seems to be gaining some ground this week, and next week, I have a feeling that Walmart is going to be in for a surprise. The boycott Walmart news is starting to make some noise. The slave wages they pay their workers is getting some traction. Hope is alive.
I came across another blog today, and when I read the article, the first thing I thought was that I could have written it myself. Irish Joe Harrison can write, and I am proud to link to his blog. We need more Irish Joe's in this country.
I cannot recall being more outraged at the police state this has become until I read the story about Steven Eckert, a man who got pulled over for a traffic stop. What ensued is complete insanity, they fucking anal probed him for the chance he might have drugs, the chance of drugs. Oh, by the way, they ANAL PROBED HIM 8 TIMES. But Gil, can it get worse? Yes it can, they sent him a bill for $6,000 for that fun afternoon. I cannot make this shit up. The sad truth is that you don't have to wait too long, or look to far to find a new outrage.
There are banksters stealing our money, lawmen who look the other way, and allow the elites to rob us blind, and then they go after the poor waitress for not reporting her tip money in a timely fashion. The military kills women, children, women with children, with Drones from the sky, and then our inept lying President has the temerity to jail a reporter who brings this mass murder to the world. Look up Abdelah Haider Shaye , his story was brought to the worlds attention by Jeremy Scahill.
I could go on an on with the new outrages, but that would just bore you. I am angry, there are millions like me, someday we are all going to gather, and there will be some grand goings on. The powers that be will have to take notice. Right now, they are aware of us, they know we are lurking. The sad truth is, there will be a tipping point event, someone is going to get hurt, or even die, but there will be no going back.
I hope to find more Irish Joe's out there. I am with him. I resist every chance I get. I write, I talk, I publish, and this Friday, I will join the line at a Walmart, and stand tall with them, as all they ask for is a living wage. Is that a lot to ask? Really?
Is it wrong to work an honest day, and get paid fairly? I dare you to walk around a Walmart, Best Buy, Kmart, and look for a product that was made in AMERICA. Go ahead, try it. We have to start making things again. We have become a service and retail country. Pretty soon, there is not going to be any money to buy anything, no matter how cheap it is, that is a fact.

One Man, One Voice..Many Questions....
Dear Internet,
As one man, one father, one human resource in the vast wasteland that is becoming the new America, I would like to share my thoughts and feelings on where we have been, where we are, and where I feel we are going. I am rambling a bit today, forgive me.
Are we Exceptional?
I know at one time we were, to say that now, is disingenuous at best. I heard the President say that his first duty is to keep us safe. That is not true. His first duty is to "protect and defend the constitution of the United States". If he did that one thing well, then everything else would fall into place.
Just a few seconds ago I came across this article about the government crushing dissent. That sums up what is happening to the Constitution in a nutshell. This makes me sick to my stomach. There are millions of people who have come to this country for the express right to voice dissent, and it appears that there is an active movement to destroy anyone who voices a different opinion.
Freedom?
When are little blogs like mine going to be illegal? I fear in the not too distant future, anyone who protests will be thrown in jail. Our founding fathers would be terrorists in today's world. The leaders of this country are trying and succeeding in the old tactic of "divide and conquer", and quite frankly it is tearing us apart. When the government attacks and jails journalists for doing their jobs, there is no turning back. The recent release of "Mediastan" proves that point exactly. The fact that newspapers will not print stories that might get the government upset is maddening and sad. Corporate owned journalism is dead. Do the owners and editors of those once prized institutions really wonder why their readership is down? In those offices and cubicles they know, they know exactly why they cant sell papers anymore. They don't want to admit it, but they know that they are just a mouthpiece for government.
Chuck Todd would rather be at a party having cocktails with the elites in government than reporting anything that would piss them off. The fourth estate has been sold to the White House, lock, stock, and barrel.
Military?
How can we have a budget that is so overloaded with military spending and spying while we ignore the needs of the people? I did not vote to assassinate American citizens without a trial. How can anyone with a conscience believe it is right to do so? Where has our humanity gone?
Whistleblowers?
Edward Snowden exposed something that many people already knew was happening and brought sunlight to the lies and illegal activities of two agencies, the NSA and CIA. These two arms of the government have too much power.
I cannot get "exceptional" out of my head today.
I heard the President tell us while ago that we are "exceptional." Do you really believe that?
Are we exceptional when we kill thousands of innocent woman and children in the name of "peace?"
Are we exceptional when we invade countries to rape them of their resources for our corporate masters?
Are we exceptional when we throw thousands of people in jail with no charges and hold them in isolation until their brains are scrambled?
Are we exceptional when there are millions of children in this country who go to bed every night hungry?
Are we exceptional when we put traveling checkpoints up just to harass innocent people all in the name of security?
Are we exceptional when we spy on millions of innocent people, capture the emails and phone calls of everyone in the hope of catching a terrorist?
Are we exceptional when we tap the phones the foreign leaders?
Are we exceptional when we tell the people of other countries to protest their governments for change, then we go and arrest those who are protesting here in this country?
Are we exceptional when our own police routinely beat up innocent people then when they are recorded doing so, throw those people in jail for exposing injustice?
Are we exceptional when whistle blowers who expose corruption are treated like the very criminals they are outing?
Are we exceptional when the top 1% control a vast majority of the wealth?
Are we exceptional because the lines at soup kitchens and homeless shelters are exploding at an alarming rate?
There are many questions here that need to be answered. Do I for one second think I have all the answers? Nope. Is there room for change and discussion on many topics of concern? I think so.
I am not naive, I am well aware that there is evil in the world, and there are people who want to hurt us. We should be very careful when we are trying to protect the people. The indiscriminate killing of innocent women and children across the globe is going to come back and haunt us, for that I am sure. When you decide to launch missiles and wipe out villages all to kill one person, you are going down a path of destruction that is most dangerous. The little girl of today, who loses a mother, father, and brother will be the woman in 20 years that will dedicate her life to hurting us.
The amazing documentary "Dirty Wars" exposes the secret wars across the globe that will only hurt us in the long run. That is not a threat, it is a fact. The fact that Obama picked up the phone, and personally called the leader of Yemen, and told him to keep Abdulelah Haider Shaye in prison because he would expose the killing of women and children is beyond contempt.
The job that the mainstream media is doing is so pitiful and disgraceful, that finally, some people are waking up and seeing the crap they feed us as just that, CRAP.
The struggles that I see on a daily basis is staggering. The lines outside the soup kitchen appears to get longer every day. What is going to happen when all the human resources wake up and see the world for what it is?
