I am on a Jury
I can't believe I was actually chosen to be on a jury. I told the truth when asked questions and was selected. I cannot discuss the case and won't, not even on this blog. So we shall talk of other things; but, of what I do not know because I don't have the time to follow the news now. I shall do my best to try and stay up on what I can.

A New Movie and Lots of Questions
There is a new movie making the independent circuit, it is called "Wake Up". The documentary claims to be the true tale of a person who claims to be able to see spirits, angels and demons. This is the official website of the movie.
There is quite a lot of talk about a coming "awakening" and I have mentioned some of the talk in the past. Let us assume for a minute that the film is a true account of one man's life. Would you want to interact with spirits in this world? When people take DMT, they claim to be consciously shifted to another dimension and then interact with spirit beings. They then return to this reality, the guy in the movie sees them interacting with humans in this reality.
Who the heck would want to interact with demons? Why would you want to do such a thing, the guy in the movie (at least from the trailer) doesn't say he wants to. He says that he was told that his mission is to explain this other world to people, to prepare them for experiencing it here perhaps?
The current state of discussion regarding the "awakening" is that you are to look only at your emotions and feel the answer because your logic can fool you. Huh? It seeks to attack science and religion and becomes a religion of you, finding your divinity. I hate to break it to people; but, you are not divine, you are imperfect and so am I. The truth may be inside you to find; but, you are not the truth and neither am I, we are only parts of a totality.
The central part of this new religion is to return to oneness, to undue creation. To go back to the beginning of consciousness. If you listen to what it's proponents say then you will see this to be the truth. Sounds pretty good too, doesn't it, no need to learn or grow, laziness is rewarded by your becoming God; but, there is a catch. You have to be reactive rather than exercise your free will.
Just as with Transhumanism, you don't have to have wisdom or learn to be a better person, just follow the rules and we will tell you what they are. People are being by others telling them to stop being sheep; but, most people are sheep and a sheep in wolf's clothing is as bad as a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is still a lie. People assume that if they find out that there is a "New World Order" that they have woken up or even understand what it means, they don't.
In the United States and in other democracies, we stopped voting for our betters and began voting for liars. We were given the chance to decide things for ourselves and decided to vote for worse and worse scum bags because they promised us cookies. They reach out to our biases and greed and we vote for them. We vote for the sheep to get a bigger piece of the pie and then cry when the wolves take the pie for themselves.
Jesus told others to be good slaves. I say be good sheep. I am not impressed by the tea party politicians because they are still just promising cookies rather than morality. Secular morality that allows for religious tolerance. Yes, I am a Christian; but, I believe in free will and self determination. If people wish to "wake up", they had better wake up to the fact that they need to take responsibility for their actions and stop looking to scapegoat the wolves.
There is a new loan program for people who are UNEMPLOYED that will loan them up to $50,000 to stay in their homes for the next two years even if they don't use it to pay for their mortgage. I cannot find the article; but, here is one that focuses on part of the program.
As many people as possible will take the cookie; but, they don't deserve it. Heck, I would probably qualify and could have my home back and $50,000 (by the way, you don't necessarily have to pay the loan back, it can turn into a grant). I was divorced, my wages were garnished and I couldn't pay my mortgage so I gave the home back to Fannie Mae. I don't want nor would I accept a free cookie except from a loved one with no strings attached.
How do you know if you are a sheep, you take free cookies, cookies you did not earn and they always have strings attached, you ignore the string for the cookie. Wolves and other predators don't want free cookies, they enjoy the hunt. Scavengers eat off of the corpses of those killed by predators. As a sheepdog, I have the most respect for predators so long as they play by the rules and stick to the worst sheep that hold back the herd. At least predators make some effort.
Hmmm, that may sound harsh. It is. I think we should seek to move up the food chain, up the evolutionary ladder by effort and not by technology or genetic therapy, cheats and shortcuts. Remember that sheepdogs, all dogs, started as wolves and learned to restrain themselves. Imagine that, that a predator became today's modern sheepdog. How does that happen?
You see we can evolve, not just wolves, sheep can evolve also; but, it means taking on new rules and learning more, not learning less. As we individually evolve, we as a universe evolve. A new limit is reached, adjusted to and learned from. Each part does as it's part that it can at any moment. Kind of metaphysical isn't it?
You have to admit that not many writers can go from loans to the unemployed to our spiritual possibilities as a transition. Throw a dog a bone, good transition or what?

Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. I am going to relax for mine. Be well.
A Name Change
ICANN, I have mentioned them more than once, the organization that is under contract to the United States Federal Government and is responsible for the domain names used on the internet, is changing the rules of the game. The issue is one of branding, or better put, it is one of making money off of the internet.
Here is an article on the current state of the matter. None of it will apply to me because I have never included any adds on this blog and refrain from using words that the FCC would find objectionable.
Already there is an extension ".xxx" rather than ".com" for pornographic sites. A new group wants to have a ".Vegas" extension. People self selecting their place on the web. What do you want to bet that online gambling is allowed; but, only on sites with the ".Vegas" extension and in order to be allowed to use those sites you will have agreed to pay your taxes if you win money, just like in real Las Vegas?
People who have lots of "friends" on facebook will be able (already are) to make money just by having people click through. Regulations will be tailored towards the different domain names. I could see a time when you have to pay a fee to use certain domain extensions and even verify your identity and age (porn sites and gambling sites will be the first to do this).

How Did This Happen
I was wondering why so many readers came to this site by searching "Pastor Carol Daniels", I went to Yahoo, typed it in and came up with 21,000,000 hits, my site was number 22. Huh? Really, that makes no sense whatsoever. When I googled it, it came in 4 with 11,300 results.
Since beginning this blog, I have received about 15,000 hits, this is not a popular site, very much an alleyway at best on the internet. This is not a site of information, more of questions. I don't know any answers to who killed the good Pastor, I wish I did; but, I am just asking questions about it. For those who come here to read about her, I am glad I can provide any information; but, I have never been to Anadarko and don't know anyone who has. I never met the fine lady and would hope that her loved ones could provide more information.
I am the son of a law enforcement officer and an analyst in my own right. I was raised to ask questions and question the assumptions. What may appear to be insight is just training, education and a bit of thought. When I was young, my father and I might get a cup of coffee and he would ask me about everyone in the coffee shop, what I observed about them and what conclusions it led me to. It is habit to continue doing so. My father taught me some very valuable lessons (and I miss him and my mother).
My father taught me that we observe more than we think about, if we get a "feeling", it is often because we saw something and didn't analyze it enough to understand it; but, we knew it didn't fit the assumed pattern. I use this skill in life, in business, in my personal life (not enough) and in my writing.
After having said what I have, I am not in law enforcement and didn't wish to be. I am not a professional in that particular arena. If this blog is focused on any crimes, it is in public corruption not murders. Although that occurs also. What I do know is that I have seen a lot of very bad police work over the years. It is usually fowled up because of biases and we all have them.
In small towns there is an assumption that there is nobody really evil, like there is in the big cities. This is foolish and consistently proven wrong. A couple of simple statistics. In most murders, the victim knew the murderer. Second one, most murders are not for money, they are out of emotion. People stage murders to make it look like these two truths are not involved. People who murder for money and don't know the victim rarely stage anything. Finally, very few serial killers actually stage the scene afterwards.
In regards to Pastor Carol Daniels, I would be stunned to find out that some traveling Satanist randomly picked a town of 6,000, accidentally found a church where a Pastor was present and no worshipers were there on a Sunday. The fact that the media and the police even considered such a stupidity is why I think they are being misled by their biases. They don't want to believe it was one of their own that they interact with on a daily basis, I understand that feeling. The person who hurt me the most in my life was the person I helped and knew the most, that is who hurts us and it is because they are not suspected.
Some people question why the good Pastor traveled all the way to that little town with so few believers left. They miss the point because they are not Christians. In the bible it says that where "two or more are gathered in my name, there I am also". That is why she went there, not for a large congregation, just to be with one other believer. There were two elderly people, according to reports, that sometimes attended her services, they were the one's who called the police. I doubt very much that they killed her.
As to who did kill her, I don't know, I just say that they lived close by and knew that few attended her services. I don't like the fact that the sect she was a member of tore down the church. That is not a good sign. It is not good that we give up on communities; but, then it does say that if you go there and preach and none listen, to shake the dust of the town off your feet and leave. For all I know, she was the last one preaching God's love, rather than fear of him (that is only the beginning of knowledge ergo, not the end).
Should any of her loved ones ever read this blog, I am so sorry for your loss, from all I have read, she was an amazing and loving woman and truly cared about others. I am sorry if anything I ever wrote offended or brought up too much detail, I never meant to be graphic. If her family wished me to remove my posts, I would and apologize. I certainly never meant to be too clinical in my questions, this was a real person and I do appreciate that. It was only ever in my heart to get people to think about her death and think about it without bias. I do not refer to her color, I refer to local biases. The hardest bias to see is the one that trips us up.

I bought new clothes
Okay, I admit it, I really did let my wardrobe become shabby. I said I would and today I did buy a couple of new suits, a couple of sport coats and a couple of shirts. I did say that I was shamed into this and rightly so. When many of your friends began asking if they can buy you clothes, it is time to get on the stick.
As the readers might have guessed I am more about content then presentation. Having said that, I like a nice suit. When I go out to a nice restaurant, I like to look good. When I dated I would dress nicely. I think dressing up in order to go on a date is a good thing, it shows respect. Personally, when I went out with women, I liked seeing them in a nice dress that fell just below the knee, classical.
Who knows maybe I will get a manicure tomorrow, if I do, I will have to go play poker. Have a great Father's Day.
