My Favorite Halloween Song

Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre

The music is about how we all meet in death, the rich, the poor, the good, the bad, we all meet in death.

Something's Smokin in Shamokin - Worth Watching

The Pimpernel doesn't often promote shows or products. On occasion I will however promote documentaries if they tell a story I think my readers should know. I don't remember why or how; but, recently I came across a series of videos on YouTube which appear to be credible and a little disturbing.

According to the videos, a couple of guys wanted to fix up some properties in Shamokin, Pennsylvania. One of the gentlemen claims to be an investor from Florida and the other was involved in renovations. The second gentleman is named Scott J. Binsack. According the them, when they tried to talk to the City Council about a renovation plan for the City, they were harassed and ignored. At least until they began filming things in an attempt to highlight alleged corruption in the town.

I did some research and there is a web presence for Mr. Binsack going back a bit and indicting that he had indeed been a house remodeler. According to a local paper in Shamokin, Mr. Binsack and his associate did indeed donate $2,500 to God's Chuckwagon, a charitable soup kitchen in the area.

I decided to see if there were any updates of the videos and there was. Mr. Binsack has apparently been charged with violating his parole and was set to turn himself in; but, has chosen to run. He is claiming that he has been told if he turns himself in he may be injured. He also claims that the charges are not valid charges.

With the technologies available today, it is possible that the whole thing is some sort of publicity stunt to raise awareness of the area and bring in some investment; however, I believe they may actually be sincere and are just attempting to raise awareness. I leave it to my wonderful readers to decide for yourself. I am going to leave links to the videos and to the Facebook page, now, I don't use Facebook so I do not know what the page shares with friends, there may be additional information.

Two thoughts. One, Mr. Binsack should turn himself in. The video was a good idea because if anything was to happen to him, lots of questions will be asked including by me. In my opinion, he should turn himself in to the Chief of Police who he accuses of corruption and make sure there are plenty of witnesses. The second thing is about why it interested me in the first place. Since the housing bubble burst, there has been more corruption going on involving real estate than I have witnessed in my whole life and I spent 30 years around that industry. The smaller the town, the more simple it is to take advantage of the market.

Eye Told You So

I was reading today and came across an article about how the Danes have created an application that lets you control your smart devices and phones with your eyes alone. Here is a link.

France 24 - AFP - Danes develop eye-control software for phones, tablets

I had previously written about how your unique eye movements could biometrically identify you. I don't feel like going back and finding the article. The Pimpernel is punch drunk for the lack of sleep he had, still adjusting. I also previously wrote about how your individual movement style could be used to identify you. Lets see, we can identify you so many ways now.

Just in time for Halloween. LOL, maniacally.

Overtired and can't sleep

I have been up for two days, had to take someone to the hospital and drive a long distance to do so. I have passed tired, I am tired and wide awake. I hate that. Everything at the hospital went better than expected, just a long day.Over tired and I have spent the last few hours in deep debate.

International Currency Control

There are some things that I have predicted that I don't really like. One of the things I have talked about is how we will see a new monetary system. I have long believed that it will be tied to eliminating national debt. I have believed that because it is the cookie that will get people to accept the new system. I am sorry to say that I appear to have been right.

The Telegraph - IMF's epic plan to conjure away debt and dethrone bankers

Here is a link to the actual working paper by the IMF. The Chicago Plan Revisited.

Basically, what they are calling for is an end to private credit that is not asset backed. With the government owning 80% of all housing and the Federal Reserve buying the rest of the mortgages, it would now become a government asset and back up our currency.

Many people took advantage of the housing boom, they took out debt with no intention to repay it unless they could sell their house for much more than they paid for it. The banks were happy to lend and the rates were corrupted by LIBOR. Everyone was cheating all the way up and down the chain; but, it was intentional and the end game is to crash all the currencies together and then bring in this new system. They got everyone to hate the bankers and now it is time for whoever has been chosen to come to our rescue and save us from the fate of Greece.

I forgot today was an anniversary

I have never claimed to love life, I don't care much for this world and never have. Today however is anniversary of something that really made me hate this world, I forgot. It is the one death date that I actually remember and I have so many to choose from, I have lost so many family and friends. I remember this one date with sorrow, the only day that I am willing to attach an emotion to.

Don't attach emotions to dates, it is a mistake, dates are meaningless, merely attempt to remind us of pain. It is the issues that matter.

Child Molesters in Power

I am going to post a lot of information and it will take a lot of time for you to view it all; but, I ask that you take the time if you want to really understand how prevalent pedophilia is and more importantly, how organized and protected it is. I beg my readers to watch the video on "Boys for Sale", if you have ever enjoyed my writing, I beg you to watch the video all the way through. It was made 31 years ago and accurately discussed things that we only know now.

Here are some links to a video about a famous English performer, after 50 years it is has come out that he was most likely a child molester. The man died a couple of years ago; but, why he was able to do what he did for decades with knowledge by others is the real question.

Most Americans probably don't know about this man or about the enormous scandal it has caused for the BBC (British State Owned Television). There is a lot of talk in England about what happened and there was another documentary that was to be shown on the BBS that was not released and was cancelled by the BBC. The other documentary was about why the police never acted or investigated the cases (hundreds if the news is to be believed).

MailOnline - Leaked Newsnight emails accuse BBC of issuing misleading statements over cancelled Savile exposé

What I find interesting is the sly way in which the media in England has attempted to hide what happened and minimize it's importance. His nephew was interviewed and goes off asking why this is only being brought up now. A fair question and a lie at the same time, later in the interview this exact same nephew mentions how in 1977 the police investigated Mr. Saville for molesting kids. Here is the interview.

YouTube - Conspiracy of Silence: The Franklin Cover Up - Censored Documentary! This video never aired, it was purchased and destroyed days before it was to air on PBS, sort of in the same way that BBC pulled the documentary of pedophilia and Mr. Saville.

This a video from the early 80s. YouTube - Boys for Sale, 1/2

YouTube - Boys for Sale, 2/2

I need to point out something, this is not about homosexuality, this is about molesting children as a power trip. They do it because they can and they can get away with it because they are organized, someone even mentions that in Part I. The man states that these boys are being used by straight men who get violent with them.

Hope you have a great week. That last video really got to me. I had never seen it before.

Visited with a friend

I needed sometime to myself and took it today, I didn't have anything important at work and just wanted to think about some things, so, I took a vacation day and laid in bed thinking until around 2. A friend called and wanted to go to dinner as we had previously discussed and we did. Later we drove by his new place and just sat outside and talked. It was nice to visit with him and later his wife.

His wife commented on how much better I looked, I had not seen her in a fair amount of time. As raggedy as I may be now, it is a vast improvement over the last five years. I think I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. That sure was a long tunnel, lol.

Another friend of mine often reminds me of an old Chinese saying that the person who finishes a journey is never the same as the one who started it. My friend and I have both changed on our journeys, still us; but, with new perspectives. I don't know that I would have liked the younger me, I was very determined and very decisive, okay, I could be very harsh.

My friend and I talked about the world, careers and personal matters. I forgot all about needing time to myself, what I really needed was time with a friend, time with someone who just wanted to be with me, no pressure, just peace. I like peace and hate drama, I am not afraid of a fight, I just prefer cooperation.

I have been reading about how the biggest internet troll (a person who goes on websites in order to create drama) has been identified and how he promptly was fired from his job. There was also a lot of discussion about how the government asked to remove the YouTube video that supposedly upset Muslims and then there was the story about the young girl who committed suicide a week ago because of "cyber-bullying". Lots of stories regarding what should and should not be allowed on the internet.

There is a difference between private speech and public speech. There is a difference between what you say to a child and what you say to an adult. The internet is totally unregulated and people post child pornography, nobody is for that, well, very few are in favor of it. Yet, the internet is our form of communication and the question becomes will there be private areas, like e-mail or chat?

Do we believe in innocent until proven guilty? Now, do you believe that the government should be allowed to read every e-mail you write when they are the ones destroying the post office? How much do you want them to know about everyone? Would you let them monitor everyone 24 hours a day to make sure that nobody is a child molester? I want you to think about that.

It is not an all or nothing question. Where should the line be between internet "freedom" and internet restrictions. It is one thing for me to send a personal e-mail to a friend where I tell him that I have just shot up heroin and quite another thing to post it on my Facebook page. One is a private communication and the other is a public admission.

The current method, at least one of them, is that the government does keyword searches on both public and private communications, anything that used the internet. Now lets say that I sent an e-mail to a friend saying that I wanted to rape someone, would you be comfortable with the government reading my private conversation because they could investigate whether or not I was really going to rape someone? While I would never joke about rape, there are people who do and have no intention of raping anyone. I am not agreeing with such jokes, I have daughters. Still, at what point in time should the government be allowed to read my mail?

If the government had read every piece of mail since the post office was started, they could have arrested a lot of child molesters; but, we wanted to be able to discuss things with family members that the government did not read, things like when a child died or when a spouse cheated or when we made a mistake. We won't have those conversations when we all understand just how not private the internet is.

A Community Activist in L.A., a Movie and Libya

There is a community activist in Los Angeles, his name is John Walsh and he has a website, here is the link. HollywoodHighland.org is the site. Now we are going to follow a little trail, I hope you enjoy the ride.

The movie trailer called "The Innocence of the Muslims" was original a full length film titled "The Innocence of Bin Laden". There is only claimed to be one showing of the film ever and that was in Hollywood at a theater on Vine Street. Prior to the film being shown, Mr. Walsh had complained to the Los Angeles City Council and had sent an e-mail to all of the press in town about the film.

According to the Los Angeles Times, nobody saw the film. Anti-Muslim film: ‘Nobody showed up’ for Hollywood screening. Then we have this article from The Daily Beast - Anti-Muslim Movie Maker a Meth Cooker. The article states that at two policemen had been at the theater the night of the first screening and spoke to a man claiming to be the producer who had a western accent. We are now told that he has a foreign accent.

I guess we are not supposed to look into the history of the film. Los Angeles has a very large Jewish community and a large Muslim community. Both of the communities are sensitive about being attacked. Neither made a big deal about the film and the only media it got was by Mr. Walsh, even though the articles state that he had notified all of the media. It seems the only people that may have seen the movie may have been people involved in it; but, I doubt that was true. We know that police were on the scene and it is highly likely that if anyone did watch the movie, at least one of them was working for the police, FBI, Homeland Security or a Jewish or Muslim organization.

I have a problem believing that Muslims attacked the Libyan embassy because of this film as was originally claimed. In fact, we now know that the attack was planned prior to the movie trailer. So, what is going on here. Why did the media attempt to blame the film when it so glaringly ignored it when it was shown in Hollywood?

Just so my readers know, the LAPD has a section that works directly with Homeland Security on a daily basis, what do you want to bet that the officers that were sent to the theater were with that group? If someone is showing a movie in Hollywood that claims to be pro-Bin Laden, you send the anti-terrorist police, you don't send the ones that work on movie reviews.

The only known screening of the film was on June 23rd. On September 11th there is an attack on the U.S. Embassy and our Ambassador who is considered a hero in Libya is killed. Libyans protest his killing and track down the party believed responsible.

Now if you go back to the Los Angeles Times article, we are told that on September 10th, some crackpot idiot preacher said he was going to show the film on his Anti-Muslim day, but, it also points out that the new films trailer had already been translated into Arabic and posted on YouTube for months with no response. There is a report of one Muslim cleric denouncing the film and that occurs BEFORE the wacko pastor said he was going to show it and in the end we do not have any report of the wacko pastor ever showing it. Think about that. The Muslim baiting pastor who has burned the Koran in the past said he would show it and then didn't. The media didn't even pick up on his saying he would show it because the movie did not exist and still does not.

If you are confused it is not surprising. The original film was titled "Desert Warriors" and that is how it was pitched to the production crew. The film was made and was originally called, "The Innocence of Bin Laden" and was promoted as a pro-terrorist movie. The "movie" that was posted on YouTube was a trailer for a movie called "The Innocence of the Muslims"; but, that movie did not exist.

When the movie was shown in Hollywood nobody other than the cops even showed up. Here is a link to the video. YouTube - Muhammad Movie Trailer. It is just about the worse piece of film making I have ever witnessed. If you can bare to watch it you will agree. Even the actors said they just thought they were getting paid to be in a horrible movie and that what was shown was not the movie they thought they were going to be in.

Now, the clown that claims to be the film maker also claims that he was given $5 million dollars to make the film which looks like it cost about $50,000 to make. We are also being told that he used to make meth and went to jail multiple times. Are we to believe that an ex-con was paid to make a film such as this?

Why did the mainstream media and the government blame what happened in Libya on the film when in fact they knew the film had nothing to do with it, it had been planned well in advance of the September statements by both the cleric and the pastor and nobody to this day has seen the film because it was never made, the video is merely small cuts that have been re-edited with words being dubbed over the original actors words.

After the embassy attack, the supposed movie maker, who now has an accent, is arrested for a parole violation and goes to court in a manner that you cannot make out his face. We are told that they had to figure out who he was, that the federal government did not know who the real Sam Bacile was; but, my friends and dear readers, that is a bald face lie. Remember the article that said that a minimum of two police officers spoke to him at the screening back in June. I want you to sit back and let that sink in.

Here is what we are supposed to believe. We are supposed to believe that some ex-con scammed some anti-Muslims to make a film that attacked the Muslim faith. I guess we are then supposed to believe that this modern day Ed Wood made the film, showed it in Hollywood once and pocketed most of the money. A failed film and the conman keeps the money, oh, they haven't told us that story quite yet. Instead he was put back in jail for causing problems by his free speech; but, is he?

Lets say for a minute that the film maker was a con artist that bilked some Muslim haters out of enough money to make the film and lets even say that he kept most of the money and put out a garbage film that he thought nobody would ever see and they didn't when it was shown in Hollywood. WHY WOULD HE THEN TRANSLATE IT AND PUT IT ON YOUTUBE AND DRAW ATTENTION TO HIMSELF? You do not publicize ripping people off and anyone that had paid him to make the movie would have been outraged when nobody paid to see it, it had no effect and brought on a police investigation. The film maker knew the police were investigating him because they spoke to him in June.

I feel like screaming, "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP". This is some of the shoddiest work I have ever seen in the press. The press talked about how the movie maker was a shady character, heck, the whole thing doesn't make and sense and stinks. They say that reporters are supposed to follow the money and nobody has followed the bank trail that funded the film. We are told that they think anti-Muslim groups funded it; but, the movie that was pitched and financed and made was not anti-Muhammad or anti-Islam, at least not according to the actors and people involved.

Now here is my final word. If it were not for a community activist, none of the rest of the story would have come out. I know that now and again another community activist, Zuma Dogg, reads my blog and I also know that he knows Mr. Walsh because he also attends the L.A. City Council meetings and has done so for years. Mr. Zuma Dogg has a much greater following than do I; but, if he reads this I do hope that he asks Mr. Walsh about what I have said and about what happened.

The question I ask is who benefited from all of this? The only known effect was that the media claimed that the film was what caused riots and a disturbance in the middle east. I should point out something that most people forget, the largest group of Muslims are not Arab, they are Asian. They don't talk about that in the media often. We didn't have riots in the Asian countries that have lots of Muslims, we had it in the oil owning nations in Arabia. The same ones that have either removed or are in the process of removing their governments.

You might want to believe that I am just reading into the tea leafs, okay. You might want to believe the garbage we are being told in the media. You might hate Muslims and think that this stupid movie caused riots and killings in Arabia. Believe all of that if you will; but, what we do know is that the police did talk to the film maker and knew exactly who he was months before there were any problems, three months before and then we are to believe that they didn't. Which is it, did the police go to the screening in June as they stated to the newspaper or did they not? If they did and they are to be believed, then they knew who he was. If they did then they made a report, that is a requirement. If they made a report then Homeland Security knew because they work directly on a daily basis with the LAPD. We are being deceived by the media and the government. The question, is why?

The mainstream media originally told us that the Libya attack was because of the retarded video on YouTube, then the media began investigating who made the film and found out that he was not a real person, then we are told that the attack had been pre-planned and had nothing to do with the movie and finally we are being told that Hillary Clinton takes all responsibility for what happened and not having provided the embassy with more security as had been requested. Do you know what the government does when it is caught in a lie, it muddies the water, it changes the subject and it looks for a new person to blame in muddy waters.

I do not anticipate that my lone post on this will make a difference; but, Mr. Walsh and his post did and I have time to write so I should say things that are of interest to someone. I hope every reader found it of some interest, I write for you.

More Technology Watching You

I remember the first time I saw "2001 a Space Odyssey", in it the computer named HAL would watch the astronauts and even read their lips, it seemed like science fiction at the time; but, it also seemed possible. Well, it is now just reality and nobody seems amazed by it or even scared of it.

NBC - TechNewsDaily - Eye movements could be next PC password

As the title of the article says, your computer can be programmed to identify you just by the way you move your eyes. The article states that "Computer scientists all over the world are studying biometrics for crime solving, for border security, and just as a high-tech way to sign into smartphones, tablets and other devices." The article goes on to say how this technology could be used to indicate if someone was emotionally unstable.

The next article is actually a video. YouTube - Autodesk 123D Catch for the iPhone. The video shows an application for for IPhone's that allows you to take someone's picture and convert it automatically into a 3D Model.

What we are looking at is a series of technologies that capture your individual biometrics. Iris scans, motion detection technology like Kinect, electronic fingerprints, voice recognition (Siri) and all sorts of applications that look at your living habits to predict what you will want or what might influence you.

The next article is from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and is titled - Biometrics in Argentina: Mass Surveillance as a State Policy. Argentina both requires a national identification card and now the biometrics of all citizens. The kicker is that they are also going to assign everyone a personal identification number for life which is linked to their biometrics. I gave a sermon today on these types of technologies and their implications, I wish I would have read these articles yesterday.

It is coming and sooner than people think, I have been saying it for years and will repeat it. In the not to distant future your biometrics will be required for you to use the internet, cell phones or anything connected to the internet. You will not need to carry identification because your face will be your id card. And even if you are allowed to use these things, the government will determine what you can and cannot do based on age and past history. If you don't go along, they will simply cut you off from the internet and the coming electronic money.

When I first told people that their phone would watch them and predict their actions, they thought I was paranoid and then when I showed them the Galaxy SIII, they were uncomfortable. I now know someone that owns one and thinks it is great. People accepted it immediately with no concern for the consequences.

I am going to try something. I am asking everyone who reads this post to leave a comment on what they think about these things, leave it anonymously (I don't require you to prove who you are).

We have all heard of Facebook, it has one billion users, that is one out of every seven people on earth. Facebook is just that, it monitors your face, your personal identity. Recently there was a lot of news articles saying that there were a lot of phony profiles on Facebook and what a horrible thing this was. Facebook is going to require that you verify who you are to use it in the future, they may do that now for all I know. This technology will be used to stop "online bullying" and prevent sexual predators from going after children. It will also be used to dumb down political debate, eliminate any real privacy and convince people to ignore you based on public opinion about you.

Let me explain that last one. One of the most popular uses of the internet is to get other people's opinions about restaurants, products and dates. There are sites where you can rate the man or woman that you dated. In response to this, there are now people offering their services to improve your online profile. Most social media has some sort of rating for other people on the social media site. I can imagine sites being created that allow the users determine who is allowed to use the site, what a force for using social pressure to get people to conform.

I have been using the World Wide Web (internet) since the first year. I have been on it since the beginning and have watched it evolve. When I first started using it, Internet Explorer did not exist. In fact, I beta tested Internet Explorer before it was released. I remember when personal computers first came out. I remember punch cards and learned how to make them in order to program computers back in the early 70s. I regret to say that I did not consider where all of it was heading, I thought the technology was just sort of cool. I don't find it cool anymore.

Cashless or Unpatriotic

I am going to post a link to a website by Alex Jones called InfoWars. I don't usually link to his site because I think he has a tendency to overreact and see a conspiracy in everything; but, sometimes he catches articles that I did not. Over the years I have found that I usually post on issues before he does; but, I believe this is usually due to the fact that I don't have to have my articles edited or reviewed by others.

The article is by Adan Salazar and is titled - Survey Finds Large Number of Australians Welcome Cashless Society, Retinal Scans for Banking

The article links to a report by the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) which surveyed people to see what the future of banking might look like. 67% of those surveyed said that they "would be comfortable using a machine that scans your eye to verify identification in place of a pin." and "79% would be comfortable using fingerprint technology in place of a pin." While what is not stated is how many would prefer these technologies be used, it does mean that most would quietly accept it.

The article also states that there is a five year program underway. What is even more interesting is the video that InfoWars provides at the bottom of the article and I highly recommend that you watch it. The video is from CNBC. Interesting statements, statement 1 is at 8 seconds, the anchor asks if a move to a cashless society around the world help America. She interviews Johnathen LaPau (might be spelled wrong) at 4:45 into the video the anchor states the regardless of the type of electronic cash it would basically require a biometric national identification system. She then says the system would require all banks around the world to agree on the identification system so that it would work. The guest states that ideally you would have a single standard worldwide.

The video spends most of it's time talking about how cash is bad and is used by terrorists and criminals. This is the first time I have heard someone actually say what I have been saying, they want to go to an all electronic worldwide electronic currency and in order to access it you will have to be bio-metrically identified. This is a CNBC anchor saying that this system will be the same as an international biometric identification system.

Anyone who has read this blog for a long time knows that I said this was the end game and guess what now it is being openly discussed and promoted so that we can fight terrorism and gangs. Now lets go back to the original ANZ article, it didn't ask people if they would be "comfortable" with a national ID card or if it did, it did not say how many would. What it said was that this biometric database would constructively be one. Same thing will play out in the United States as is demonstrated by the video.

I gave a sermon a little while back where I was talking about the Mark of the Beast in Revelations (and NO, I am not saying that biometrics is the mark of the beast). In the sermon I discussed how never before in history was it possible to require everyone in the world to have a mark in order to buy and sell. Revelations states that everyone will be required to take a mark in order to buy and sell and a biometric read of your face is not a mark. Personally, I think that you will have to have an invisible mark verifying that you are you and the mark will not be something that would make sense to forge. The point is that we are absolutely headed to electronic currency, biometric verification and an international identification scheme.

We are seeing the promotion of a lot of disturbing things right now. The UN is trying to get a couple of international taxes (one of them on cigarettes), the ability to regulate small arms and the seas through treaty and is also seeking control over the internet. At the same time we are seeing a number of countries requiring biometric identification of everyone (India being one of the best examples) and we are eliminating all of the infrastructure (printing presses, the postal service and over the air radio) that will allow you to function without relying on the internet. Does this bother anyone other than me?

Here is something else that one needs to consider, you cannot have an international currency system (electronic or otherwise) unless all nations currencies are set by an international legislative body. Now the question becomes one of what the basis for setting such currencies would be (I know, I wrote on this before) and my prediction is that it would be based on the total mineable mineral resources of a country, their labor force and their infrastructure. Estimating these expenses and agreeing on the weight given to each may be more difficult; but, we have the Euro to guide us and show us the way.

Things consider to get overly controlling as one considers the effects of this single currency. Firstly, without accepting it, a nation would not be able to trade with other nations. Secondly, in order to get China, Russia, Japan, the EU and the United States to accept this new currency, you would have to destroy theirs. Finally, a single electronic currency could be shut off for any individual and there is no other place to go in the world. It wouldn't matter when you went. Your money would not be accepted anywhere if you were shut off in your own country and the biometric identification would prevent you from re-entering the monetary system without having gotten approval from your home nation.

This is how it will work. The banks will require electronic verification of you in order to access your account. After that they will phase out physical cash as is happening in certain countries already. The currencies crash and we convert to exclusively electronic payments. I guess that is enough for now.

Here is a little story for you, sorry, I don't remember where I read it because I saw it in a couple of places. Some homeless guy in England (I believe) rented a hotel room and skipped out on the bill. He left behind his toothbrush and his dna was used to track him down by the police. I don't know what they guys room bill was; but, really, it must be pretty cheap to trace people biometrically in England. I would be careful spitting gum on the streets there.

Small Spaces, Preaching and Elections

SMALL SPACES

I have been reading a lot about how municipalities are looking to have smaller apartments. In particular, New York is looking to make apartments that are about 250 square feet. I have also been noticing articles aimed at those who want to build tiny "homes". I watched a video today that was about an hour and a half about small living spaces around the world (though they didn't show Tokyo's small apartments).

I have a few thoughts on the matter. I had a 2,700 square foot, five bedroom house with a Jacuzzi in the back and lots of storage space including two custom built storage sheds (I didn't build them). I don't know what my lot size was; but, it was big. I now live in an apartment that is probably around 500 square feet so I understand downsizing. In fact, I think most people have more stuff than they need or is even healthy for them; but, it is an individual choice.

In fact, I am one of those people who could live quite well in a 300 square foot or so apartment, trailer, boat or house. People tend to fill their space with things they "might need someday"; but, never do. After the divorce I knew that I had way to much space and I couldn't pay for it anyways. The downsizing came from necessity; but, I really wanted to anyways, the kids are all grown. As I look forward to retirement, I ponder how much space I will truly need and where it should be located. To a large extent my lifestyle will determine how much space I will need and my preference has always been minimalist. During college I lived in a studio that was less than 300 square feet and it was just fine with me.

I like smaller spaces because, the truth is, I don't like to spend a lot of time cleaning or maintaining stuff. I would rather read and write then clean and fix. In the last few weeks an actor (can't think of his name) decided to leave New York and return to Los Angeles because he said that in New York everyone could hear you and that in L.A. you could yell because it had space. I have to agree with him. There is the dichotomy, how much space is enough?

While I enjoy my small space, if I were raising a family I would want everyone to get their own room for privacy. I would also want a shared space that was big enough that we could all talk. I may retire and continue renting my apartment, I like the area; but, I may retire and go off grid. I have not decided yet.

The issue I have is with the hard sale on minimizing our lives. I choose small; but, I do not choose high density, there is a difference. High density is bad for people and animals and is certainly not necessary. Throughout the midwest there are thousands of towns where the people moved out as we killed off the family farm. No work; but, plenty of space.

While I have always treasured my solitude and quiet, that is not for everybody. What Mayor Bloomberg and others are trying to tell us is that we should learn to live on as little as possible. The logic is that the United States is going to become poorer and we will have to live on less. We will not work less, we will work more. We will have just as much as we need and no more. I have a problem with that, not for myself, as a rule I have a problem with saying people should live with as little as possible, seems sort of extremist.

PREACHING AND ELECTIONS

I have mentioned before that sometimes I preach at a church. Recently I came across some articles that said that if you are a church that has filed the proper documentation with the government that you cannot support a candidate. That is an easy one for me as I don't support any of them, not Obama, not Romney and not Ron Paul. I have absolutely no intention of promoting any of them at church; but, I don't think I should be prohibited from giving my opinion from pulpit. The law certainly would not stop me from saying what I think.

I am pretty sure that I am not in church right now and can say anything I want. While I do not intend to vote and no longer believe in the system, I would not vote for Romney on a bet. This election is not about people, it is about philosophies, it is about the moral character of the nation, how much we care about each other and how much we are worried about ourselves. While all the candidates are merely shills for private interests, in the end, it is also a statement about how we care about each other. We will live with the consequences of our choices.

Mr. Romney believes it is a question of survival of the fittest (so long as you can cheat the system), President Obama represents (in theory at least) a more communal approach where we set a minimum that all are guaranteed (and it is not much), Mr. Paul represents everyman for himself; but, with rules that are fair to everyone. That pretty much sums it up. None of them are calling for rewarding a person based on their efforts. I assure you that those with inherited wealth are not in favor of such a thing, think about it, why would they be?

This election is a choice; but, we are not given the choice of more or even better, we are being told that the pie is going to shrink and we get to choose how we cut it up. That is what this election is about. Strip away all the nonsense and that is the choice we are making.

Music and whatever I think to say

Look, I already did one post for the day and it is a pretty interesting subject. Now, I shall have a glass of wine, read random articles, listen to music and write down whatever drivel pops into my mind. I think that is fair.

At work I try and break up people's days with whatever I think they might find interesting. I also try and present information in an amusing manner. I don't know that that translates as well to my writing. Anyways, one of my co-workers and I were talking today over a cup of coffee.

On a side note, I just had a thought, the Devil can only see what is directly in front of him. The story of Job finds the Devil in heaven and God asks him what he has been doing. The Devil responds that he has been walking back and forth over the earth to find things to accuse us of (it says he accuses us day and night before God). God asks the Devil if he has considered Job. Now, clearly the Devil has as he says that Job would not love the Lord if he were not wealthy and had everything. In the end the Devil is proven wrong; but, the story also demonstrates that the Devil is not all knowing and has to see things for himself to know what is going on. Just a random thought and observation.

So, back to the work story. This person works for me and I think we get along pretty well. We are of a similar age and point in life. She said to me that she thought it was selfish of me not to find a nice lady to have a relationship with. She mentioned that I was a nice guy and deserved to be happy. She mentioned how there were many single ladies out there of my age (and no she was not hitting on me, she has been happily married for decades), her point was that she knew there were many women my age who might like to be with a decent fellow.

I truly appreciate her concern and those of all of my friends. I may not be "happy"; but, I am certainly not miserable. I told her that I could not be with a woman who was not Christian, intelligent and interested in the world around us. She stated that I was narrowing the choices and I mentioned that I wasn't looking. I have to admit, relationships are hard and I got burned pretty badly; but, I still believe in them. I am just as picky as I can be because I will not get burned again, nor hold back, if someone finds me, they will have to knock my socks off and I don't see that happening. I am selfish on that one thing in my life, it must be the only answer for both of us.

YouTube - [CARPENTERS] GOODBYE TO LOVE (lyrics)

I am going to try and link to songs that best represent what I am discussing as I write. An experiment, it is for the reader to decide how well I have done.

Back to religion, I had another thought. The Devil does not accuse us of being imperfect, that would be stupid. God built us and we know and he knows that we are imperfect, the Devil must therefore claim that we have no good in us, that everything we do is selfish. His mistake is in his being a narcissist, he must believe there is some good in him, it is a delusion, there is nothing but lies in him. There is none good; but, God; but, we can have some good in us. Not perfect; but, capable and willing to do good in some way. There is good in all of us, we just have to let it out. I know the song for this one.

YouTube - Ray Stevens - Everything Is Beautiful

I want to talk about people who are observant. Someone figured out something about the Pimpernel today, at least they think they did (they don't know the blog address so I can talk). They made a mistake; but, it is understandable. They had wondered how much information I had about where I work, they discovered that the person who had the most information about our workplace was one of my best friends that very few knew was a friend. They assumed that I got my information on everything from this person (first mistake, I have been around a long time) and then they assumed my friend told me everything (another mistake). Their next assumption is the most amusing, they assumed that I sought this person out to befriend them so that I would have insight. Things did not go quite that way. LOL. Being good at observation does not mean that you will understand what you observed, not when there are magicians and actors and mistakes in this world.

YouTube - Show must go on Three Dog Night lyrics


YouTube - Berlin - Masquerade

I am not posting links to all the songs I am listening to, just the ones that I choose after I write. I have not figured out what I want to write about yet.

Enjoy.

Going Walletless Apple Style

I thought this was funny. Yesterday I posted on how England was going to go towards your telephone being your official identification, then, today I read this article about how Apple has a patent that would allow you to travel (book flights, go through baggage checkes...) and pay for everything with your phone. Enjoy.

CNN - Apple's secret plan to join iPhones with airport security

When I was talking about these things years ago, people disregarded it. They believed me, it was just that they thought we were talking about them coming in a decade. Nope, they are coming now. This is also why the poor in America are being given cell phones.

Look at the world around, take all the things that do not make common sense and see if you can find an answer that makes sense, connect the dots. Everytime you hear of a new cell phone, look at what the "improvement" is over past phones and look at what the failure was. Does anyone really believe that Apple could not have made a better mapping system for their new phone, that is Google's market. Monopolies are when companies give other companies specific areas for themselves. Google gets maps and Apple introduces the new technologies. Microsoft standardizes and spreads the technologies to the masses. Facebook is your primary social media over 1 Billion users.

If anyone would like to make a bet on the stock market, here is something to consider. If Apple is going to allow you to go walletless then all your Rewards cards will need to have an Apple Rewards App (Vons, Albertsons...). If the next IPhone does not have that app then Microsoft or Google will.

You want to use your phone as your identification

So a few months ago I read this article about some woman in New York who wanted to use her phones picture of her license to prove that she was old enough to drink. Basically, she was thought a picture of her drivers license on her phone should allow her to buy drinks at some bar. At the time I thought it was suspicious because it made the international news. I may or may not have written on it at the time. In either case I saw this article today and it all sort of made sense.

The Independent - National 'virtual ID card' scheme set for launch (Is there anything that could possibly go wrong?

Now for the first time since I have begun this blog I am going to use rough language, "Read the fxxking link, read the article. It is about what is coming into your life, what you will be required to do and how you will be tracked." I hope I put sufficient emphasis on the issue.

Here is what is going on. England is about to authorize social media sites to authenticate who you are for governmental and banking transactions. Here is a line from the article, "Indeed, it is hoped the Identity Assurance Programme, which is being led by the Cabinet Office, will mean the end to any prospect of a physical national ID card being introduced in the UK." Do you understand the little word game that they are playing? They are saying that there will not be a "PHYSICAL" national id, no, there will not, it will be a virtual national identification system. Adding the word physical does not change it from being an international id.

I have written on how you are going to use your biometrics as your international verification of your international IP (internet presence). It really isn't that complicated, if something is illegal for the government to do, they create private companies to do the same thing and you agree to go along with it because it is convenient. Do you really believe that the government cannot check all of your purchases on your "Rewards Card", heck, they have the right to tap your cell phone without a warrant.

IN the future you will not need a wallet, nor cash, nor identification, it will all be virtual and carried on your phone. After that, it will be enough just to have your face. Things are moving very swiftly, quicker than I anticipated. My hope is that none of my readers ask me when it has all gone down, why I didn't say anything because I did. I do not speak of FEMA camps or nonsense, I speak the truth and provide links. It only helps you if your read the links, not my words, I try and use "reputable" sources. I only analyze what they say, commentary with no monetary, emotional or other reimbursement.

I read the comments on the "debates", they were a joke. All they wanted to discuss was who won, not what their plan was to make things better. I personally do not care who is a better speaker, Romney or Obama, they are both liars. If the choice is between a socialist and a fascist, why vote? Who cares who wins, we lose. I do not care about personalities, I care about policies.

You cannot have a "nation" without being able to identify who is part of it. Think the Arizona law on immigration, totally wrong because it ignored the idea of probable cause. The people in Arizona want proof that hispanics are from their state. They are attempting to trade their freedom (probable cause) to prove identity (national identification). Why trade? Why can't we have both a freedom and a restriction on government?

Both Obama and Romney are asking you the same question, which type of tyranny do you wish. It is like asking if you stopped beating your wife, both answers are wrong. The true answer is that you never did and you never will. Have a great weekend and try not listening to the spin of the news.

Perhaps I had a thought

My ex-wife and others have been taking up all my thoughts. I apologize for not having posted more. I went to many alternative news sites to find something; but, interesting to write about and found nothing. The "debate" was not worthy of discussion, at least it wasn't to the mainstream media, they were more worried about who "won" than anything that the candidates had to say. The "debates" are as meaningless as anything. Here are my question for all candidates:

1. Will you get us out of the wars and when? I want dates that are within a year of your being elected.

2. Will you reverse the Patriot Act, the NDAA and ALL executive orders that have not been approved by congress?

3. Will you agree that we all benefit equally from the nation we have created, will you agree to being taxed equally, all income regardless of source at a percentage with no deductions? Can we all contribute as we receive?

4. Torture is wrong and we will never engage in it. Let us ensure that our military is the highest of our morals and not the worst of us.

5. We will support people making their own decisions rather than dictating morality.

Lets start with those rather than who seemed more Presidential, lets focus on what they will do rather than hope, faith or other forms of stupidity that are not backed up by the truth.

Sex Talk with Your Kids - Careful what you say in California

Now personally I really don't care if someone is gay, it is none of my business. I have gay friends and it just isn't an issue for me. If one of my kids told me they were gay when they were younger, I would have talked to them about it and stated that I believe that we are two sexes for a reason, we are meant to be with members of the opposite sex. I would give them my honest opinion.

A couple of weeks ago a very rich man in Asia offered about $60 million for someone to marry his daughter. His daughter is gay and very accomplished. I saw her interviewed, she said she knew he did it out of love. She was much more generous than I would have been. I think what he did was immoral, disrespectful and wrong. By the way, she was also cute. We won't even get into how many idiots wanted to take him up on the offer. What sort of moron would even begin to think he had a chance?

So, now we come to the news. California has passed a law prohibiting people from taking their children to “sexual orientation change efforts.” Really? Now, my readers know that there must be more to this and there is. But, first I want to say something about my regular readers. You don't come here for the news, you come here because you know the news is just propaganda. I may not have a lot of readers; but, I don't have any dumb ones that visit regularly. Neither the issues or my take on them is for morons, it requires going into the stories.

Quite awhile back I wrote about a lesbian couple in California. They were portrayed in the mainstream media as evil because their adopted son said he was a girl. Everyone was told how he was getting hormone treatments and it sounded as if they were trying to pressure him into being a girl; but, the truth was a little different. In fact, they were giving him treatments to delay the onset of puberty and did not know how to deal with him. He told them he was a girl and they told him that he was not. They gave him treatments to delay puberty so that he would understand better that he was a boy. I disagree with them, let him have puberty when his body says so; but, I know what they did was out of love and they were in a tough spot, they tried to be good parents. I say being a parent means that you can never be right again.

I guess under this new law, those lesbians would be in trouble for trying to be good parents. We have two choices, sexuality is either a decision or genetics. If it is genetic than would it be okay to find the gay gene and refuse to have a child born that had it? We can have all the abortions we want, no reason is needed. Now, if homosexuality is a choice, why can't we discuss it with our kids and have help from trained professionals?

I have a friend and she has the most marvelous son, he is just amazing. He had a very, very, very rare disorder. I am so glad that I got to meet him, he just made me smile and laugh and feel affection for him and his girl friend. He was not supposed to live like past 10; but, he is much older than that.

A side note, how much money has been spent trying to find the "gay" gene and how much has been spent trying to decode autism? I can tell you right now that more effort has been spent to eradicate autism than homosexuality. To my autistic brothers and sisters, we are hated more than gays. In California it is now illegal to attempt to influence someones gender identification; however, it is legal to have you unborn child's dna scanned to see if they might be autistic so that you can kill us before we are born.

Not long ago some people attempted to get a law passed that prohibited people from having abortions in order to determine the sex of the baby. You can kill a baby for any reason apparently. The law was not passed. Here is the question, if we could determine if our child was going to be gay, it would be legal to have an abortion of that child. You can kill them before they are born; but, once born you are not supposed to try influence their decisions.

We did not outlaw telling your children that homosexuality was wrong, we did not outlaw telling your children that being gay is a sin, we did not outlaw mentally abusing children and we couldn't define it well enough to prevent it. I know many gay people and tell them I love them, because their parents did not. You cannot outlaw that, you cannot enforce love.

What we have is a stupid law. We have a law that tells parents they cannot have professionals help them if they believe their children are headed down the wrong road. That is what this law establishes, it is called precedent in the courts. The law is not about homosexuality, it is about government control over what parents try and teach their children.

Not a thought in my pretty little head

I got nothing. I don't have any news to tell that is meaningful.
