Part 2 of Ongoing Conversation-What Can We Do?

As I wallow again, with too many cups of coffee, Here is the present situation. The middle class is rapidly disappearing.  The worst part about that is, it is going the way of poverty. That's a fact, not speculation. I am wondering about what we can do?  My last post dealt with what is wrong? 
This post is about "what can we do?" and "what we can do?" Those are two similar yet very different questions.

They are very complex questions on many levels. I will try to tackle them the best I can.
The vast distribution of wealth in the US is quite shocking, take a peak at the video here.

What can we do?  to stop the ever growing surge of corporatism? For those of you who are not aware of this term, here is the definition:
Corporatism: the control of a state or organization by large interest groups.
Anyone with a bit of common sense is well aware of just how much "big money" influences our elected officials. I will start here with the enormous amount of cash from mega corporations that flow to Washington DC. 

You and I cannot even fathom the corruption and corporatism that is so rampant and pervasive, and built into the "system.  I cannot say with enough authority that this is where we have to start to effect change, but it would definitely be on the top 10 list. This is a complex issue, but in order to change it at all, the corporations must not be allowed to bribe  donate money to our congress. It would literally take an act of congress, and since they are bought and paid for my these corporations, that will not happen. What a twisted web of deceit and deception.

That being said, our congressmen when they are not stuffing their pockets with cash, sometimes do listen to the people.  I have the website to the Senate and Congress as well as the White House, as default home pages on my browser.  I try to write them every day, in the short term, it makes me feel better, in the long term, like anything else, there will be many letters from me, and their sycophants must delete them all. I do think it is very important to remember the first amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The above mentioned amendment seems to have been lost on the people here.  There could be many factors, but what I see the mos,t is apathy. That is EXACTLY what the government wants.  I can recall a couple years ago, when the "Arab spring" was happening half way around the world. The President went on television and was congratulating the Arabs for exercising their right to free speech and protest. At the same time our president and the corporations that pull his strings were shutting down the "Occupy" movement HERE! What a fucking hypocrite. He encourages free speech everywhere but here.  There is a new term is the American lexicon ever since 9/11. I find this as hard to believe as you do but "free speech zones" are real, and a very scary precedent. Again, I refer to the first amendment, CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW.  That is that. They are illegal. 

What can we do?

THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty.-Thomas Jefferson.

To me, that is the central question. How do we get the government to fear us? 

I believe in my heart that there is going to be an event, a situation, something is going to happen, that is going to be the "no turning back" moment for the people.  I wish I had a crystal ball to predict that moment, but my worst fear is that people are going to die, for that to happen. I do know that there is one thing, one event that can bring down the whole house of cards. 

If there was any real investigation of Building 7, that could be the proverbial card that starts the house tumbling until what is left is, in shambles. How do we accomplish that? WE MUST PUT PRESSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT, OUR CONGRESS, OUR SENATE, AND BE RELENTLESS.  Being relentless is the problem.  Our leaders and corporations, they think of the long game, they think about things in blocks of decades. We the people must live our lives, and worry about paying the mortgage, rent, going to work, taking care of our kids, paying bill, yada, yada, it is VERY DIFFICULT TO SUSTAIN THE RELENTLESS PRESSURE. 

This Building 7 is the key, if we took to the streets, if we put relentless pressure on all elected officials, and by pressure, I mean, bombard them with every thing, mail, email, mass protests, television documentaries, banners everywhere, mainstream media, and kept this pressure on, then something would happen. I believe that in my heart.  This is not the ONLY thing that the government fears, this would be a pressure point that would get quick attention. They cannot explain how a 47 story skyscraper fell at free fall speed.  Its that simple. This is the key. I would suggest a great place to start would be going to the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth website and take a look at the information there.

I am a parent, and I am very fearful of the country that I am going to leave to my kids.  We always hear the words, I want my kids to have it better than I did. Do you honestly think that is true nowadays? The statement might be true, but the reality is a whole different issue.

What we can do?

What can we do? Stop paying attention to media distractions.  Where to begin on this one? hmmmm... Lets start with the complicity of the media to keep us not only distracted but apathetic as well.  Everyone needs some entertainment, but the media has quite successfully figured out how to distract us from what is truly important.  Our fascination with the Kardashians, and Honey Boo Boo and people of that ill, it to me quite frankly, fucking embarrassing. I couple of years ago Jesse Ventura was on with Geraldo Rivera. I had heard that when Jesse showed a clip of WTC 7 collapsing in its own footprint, it was the first time that had been on television since 9/11. Now whether that was exactly accurate, I am not sure, but I can tell you I had not seen it on television, and I do pay attention.

From where I sit it certainly does appear that corporations and the elites of the US have the upper hand, that has how its been since the start, and I personally see no end in sight.  The best "we", and I say we, because I am in the lower middle class, and I would gather that my readership, and I do thank you for reading, is in the same boat I am.  I do wonder if there are any elites who read my little rants, if you do, I would be curious to hear your point of view.

 What can we do?

 Find out which corporations are paying the most money to your congressman and make a concerted effort not to put any money in their pockets. The answer is much easier than the actual implementation of that strategy. But, you can do it. Believe it or not, boycotts do work. The reason they fail though, is that the people do not have the determination to follow through with a boycott, I have a few things that I do to make a difference. Its not much, but my conscience is clear. I do not put one penny in the pockets of Exxon/Mobile. Exxon is waiting for people to die in Alaska so they can pay a few dollars less on the Exxon Valdez tanker spill back in 1989.  There is a class action lawsuit that they lost to the citizens in Alaska, they still have not paid for the damage they did. 


They have fought at every turn to not pay anything to the citizens that were harmed or killed by this spill.  As a matter of fact they have fought at every turn to pay for their crimes. This is so sickening to me, but what makes me upset is that no one cares.  If only 10% of the people woke up and stopped using Exxon, believe me, they would take notice.  But, they can afford to hire big public relation firms, advertising agencies to make you believe they are the most virtuous companies on the planet.  


In July of 2010, the Deep Water Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico decimated the southern coast.  The long term exposure of the spill as well as the Corexit they used to "clean" it up will be felt for the foreseeable future. They were negligent on the rig, on the clean up, and the cover-up of the spill and clean-up. How is that for a tongue twister.  I dare you to watch the "The Big Fix" documentary and go to BP for a fill up. My brother and I have talked quite a bit about with these purely evil corporations, you have to basically pick the lesser of the evils.  Is there a bright shining beacon of hope? I do not know?  But at least I do know about the true evil of those two.

Is there a company or product that you boycott for whatever reason? I would like to hear your comments.

So to wrap up this part of the conversation, yes, there are things we can do. I have found two reporters that appear to me to not have been co-opted. Jeremy Scahill, and John Pilger.. I am sure there are others, if there are, I sure would like to hear about them.  I am going to leave those two gentlemen for the third part of my conversation, coming soon.

I do have a question for you, dear reader. If you could wave a magic wand and make things better, what would you do?

One Small Step... One Giant Leap

The BBC had direct foreknowledge about the attack on 9/11. A judge has ruled that Tony Rooke does not have to pay a licensing fee to the BBC because they misrepresented the facts about the attack on 9/11. The ruling was handed down in February, but I do believe the word should be spread.

Please pass this video on to all you know.  We cannot go forward until we go back and figure out the truth about 9/11.

Gitmo Gil.

Historical Fiction?

I am conflicted tonight.  Someone I once admired and respected showed himself to be very close minded.  I was listening to TWIG, This Week in Google on the TWIT Network.  Jeff Jarvis was talking about this past week and the 9/11 ceremonies.  While he was waxing poetic about the scenery, he mentioned the "9/11 nut jobs" across the street. Does Mr. Jarvis know about the massive cover-up withing the CIA regarding information intentionally being suppressed? Lets have a listen with two film makers and Richard Clarke. This is quite fascinating.

I like to think I am open minded.  We all have our beliefs, and those can be an asset or a liability.  Jeff Jarvis is a professor at NYU. He is supposed to shape young minds, inspire, teach, and be a beacon for his students.  For him to categorically put a label on anyone for having a difference of opinion, and calling them "nut jobs", is abhorrent. Does Mr. Jarvis ignore polls that show more and more Americans questioning the official story? Ben Swann opened his mind.

I would wager that a student of his who is well informed and passionate about their beliefs about 9/11 has shared with Jeff their differing view. Did Jeff call that student a "nut job"? Did Jeff categorically castigate that student to the dummy corner? Or as a professor, did Jeff tell that student to research more, learn as much as he/she could about the real facts of 9/11?  Mr. Jarvis, please watch the short clips below, you might actually learn to accept dissent.

Does Mr. Jarvis know about the hundreds of fire fighters and police officers who reported hearing explosives in WTC 1 & 2.

Does Mr. Jarvis know about the BBC and CNN reporting of Building 7 collapsing a full 20 minutes early?

Does Mr. Jarvis know about the impossible collapse of Building 7?

Does Mr. Jarvis know about Secretary of State Kerry admitting Building 7 was a demolition?

Does Mr. Jarvis know about the squibs ejecting debris at 1000 mph?

These are just a few examples that at the very least, call into the question the validity of the "official" story.

Does Mr. Jarvis believe the story the government gave us?  Mr. Cheney would never lie, right? I mean the whole story about 9/11 and the connection to Iraq proved right.. sorry, that was a lie.

 The story about Iraq having WMD was right. sorry, that was a lie also.  Surely when Colin Powell went in front of the UN with the vial of chemical/biological agents that was the truth?  Sorry, lying again.

Surely they would never lie about an American hero getting killed in Afghanistan right? Sorry, they exploited Pat Tillman until they got caught.

The government would never plan to kill citizens and blame someone else just to get us into war? D'oh, I forgot about Operation Northwoods and the Gulf on Tonkin.

So why would they lie about 9/11?  I can give you $$ billions if not $$trillions of rea$sons. 

I too was suckered into the official story for 3-4 years, then I started to do what many others did, I learned !!

I Wish I Did Not Know....

This is for Paulette - the Newbie...

Today is a different day than many others.  It is the day that we look back on that horrible day, 12 years ago when everything changed. Did things change for the better or worse? 

I wish I did not know that Norman Minetta testified under oath that the vice president was made aware at least 3 times that something was flying towards the Pentagon on 9/11. To make matters worse, the vice president told people that he was not there at the PEOC at that time in question. Who are we to believe, Secretary Minetta, UNDER OATH, IN PUBLIC, 9/11 COMMISSION HEARING, or Cheney, not under oath, behind closed doors, no notes taken, no recording, nothing... I believe Norman Minetta.

I wish I did not know that that Nano-Thermite was found in 100's of samples taken from the rubble and dust from 9/11.  This was first discovered by Dr. Jones in Utah. It was verified by many other physicists, chemical engineers, scientists. Dr Jones went public with all this information, and, you guesses it, he was FIRED. Fired for telling the truth.

 Telling the truth and getting fired has happened to quite a few people who have been looking in the events of 9/11.  When WTC 7 How about Kevin Ryan from NIST. He went public about the inability of NIST to tell the truth. Their models could not, could not, duplicate the demolition of Building 7. Off with his head. NIST still cannot tell the truth about WTC7. So, its not in the 9/11 Commission Novel.

I wish I did not know about the brave and honorable April Gallop.  You see, her first day back at work at the Pentagon was, you guessed it, 9/11.  She had just turned her computer on when the BOMBS went off at 9:30.  Her baby was under the rubble, she and many other MILITARY people all smelled the cordite. Not jet fuel, CORDITE!!!..  She told this to the news people and was soon not only ignored, there were emails from her superiors to the TV network news channels, NOT TO GO NEAR HER.  You see, whatever hit the Pentagon, did not hit it until 9:37 at the earliest. There are many pictures and documentation of the clocks being frozen at 9:30.

I wish I did not know about Jamie Mcintyre and his FIRST ON THE SCENE reporting from the Pentagon that morning, that there was no evidence at all of any airplane "anywhere near the Pentagon".  First witness reporting is so important, it is usually clean and precise, before the "spin" can be put on events.

I wish I did not know about the various war games being played out by the FAA and NORAD that day. These war games were depicting planes being hijacked and being flown into buildings.  The various flight controllers did not know that was real, and what was a test.

I wish I did not know about "The Project for a New American Century, and the most foreboding quote, "absent a catastrophic and catalyzing event, such as a New Pearl Harbor". These people, and I am talking about Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bremer, Zelikow, Bush, Armitage, and I am sure that there are many more individuals who hide in the shadows, take orders without question, and were just as happy that 9/11 happened as those bastards that I mentioned by name.

I wish I did not know how much Rumsfeld hated having to go in front of the compromised media on 9/10/2001 to make the announcement that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS. What a coincidence that the very department that was put in charge of finding that missing money was blown up the next day.

I wish I did not know just how complicit that our own government was on 9/11.  It took me about 3 years to wake up. Like many others the official story rang true. Then one day I saw a video of WTC 7 being demolished, and I literally said WTF?   That was the "red pill" for me.  As I started to get involved, I looked more and more into the abyss of lies and deception put on my MY GOVERNMENT.  I got pissed off, and started researching in earnest.  The "mainstream" media is to blame also.  The reporters do not ask the tough questions. They are more interested in having a martini with our leadership, that taking them to task.  This is just one small example.  As a matter of fact the "mainstream" news is so utterly corrupt that the BBC and CNN  both reported the demolition of WTC 7 a full 20 minutes before it happened.  This just tells me that the script was written, just that the cue was given too soon, or someone messed up and did not push the blast button on time.

I do know that 19 guys from a cave cannot stonewall and obstruct and investigation into the events of 9/11.  There was so much bullshit going on, that the only person on the commission with integrity, quit. That's right. Max Cleland was so pissed off about not having any access to documents, and about where the investigation was going, that he quit in protest.  The one person who directed where the investigators could go, was Philip Zelikow, WHO SHOULD BE IN JAIL. In the "you can't make it up" department, he was a personal aide to Condoleeza Rice, who we all know, LIED ABOUT 9/11 UNDER OATH.

I should end this post with this. I am glad that I know this information. It has made me a more informed person. I question the govt at every turn. When Bush and company lied about WMD in Iraq, I was not surprised.  Do you think that for one second that Cheney cared one bit about any life in Iraq?  I believe in my soul that Cheney was the "producer" of 9/11.  There is so much evil there, it is hard to imagine him NOT doing it.  I believe that there were hundreds of people who owed him, took orders without question, and pulled off 9/11 with MILITARY PRECISION.. That I do know.
