I read this post on "Above Top Secret" where someone asked why the Mormons had all of this intricate information, the most of anyone, on genealogies. Great question. I don't have any idea what the answer is. It does seem odd.
The Mormons have built a vault inside a mountain to protect the information. Why do they need a vault? Do they think God does not know everyone of us? I am pretty sure that he does. It says he wove us in our mother's wombs. God never really liked census' anyways. He commanded the Israelites to NOT count the priests when they did the census. The original census that he commanded was for the purpose of evenly dividing up all the land based on the number of people. The Levites were apportioned theirs differently.
The other census in the bible that I recall resulted in Mary and Joseph going to Bethlehem. In the Bible, other than when God had the people count the Israelites, that a census was done it tended to be for bad reasons. In fact the Bible says that the Israelites would be too big to be counted, so why are the Mormons trying to count them?
Why do we need a census today? Why does the government care who lives in which house? Why does Bill Gates want to register every child in the WORLD via cell phone. What is it with this counting thing? I ask this question to Christians and non-Christians. Why do people want a listing of everybody in the world. It is only good for one second and then there are more people being born and dying. It will never be an accurate count. So why count?
Let me show how silly this is. If you knew the exact number of people on earth today and tomorrow you were off by a million, what difference would it make? Do you have any idea of how much time and money and effort is wasted counting people? The Mormon church alone has 25,000 people tracing genealogies. Sure sounds like someone believes counting us is worthwhile and they want to be exact.
On a side note. I read this article where it talked about the fact that scientists can now bar code embryos. The explanation is that they want to make sure that test tube babies have the correct embryo. Sounds like a big lie to me. Sounds like more counting. I like math and have been asked to write a book on accounting (I am not an accountant) but I HATE algebra. I only like parts of mathematics. I am not into registering babies like they were products.
In law there are two types of property, real property and chattel. Real property stays in place, chattel moves. We are chattel. To own something you must be able to register it so that other people know you own it. The reason you count people is to show who owns who.
Let me ask a question. When have you ever benefited from being registered with the government? Don't misunderstand, I did not ask about being tested, I asked about being numbered. When has the government done that to help you rather than control you?
I heard a brilliant man once, he said "look at how you appear on a map, it determines what you get". More or less that is what he said. Why are you being counted? It determines what you get. Be well.

Prince Charles
Protesting students in London apparently attacked a Rolls Royce that was carrying Prince Charles and Camille, his wife. The protesters were shouting "Off with their heads". We know that was said in France about 200 years ago.
The look on the face of Prince Charles and Camille was not fear, it was shock. They could not comprehend seeing such a thing in England. I don't have any use for kings and queens as a rule. Having said that, I am absolutely opposed to this type of violence.
This little event must be a real wake up call for the royals. In fact, it is a wake up call for all people of power. Beyond the event is a bigger question, is that the face of anarchy and or direct democracy. The austerity measures going on in England are oppressive; but, how would those protesters manage government or anything else?
A veil has been pierced and people are aware of how they are being herded and controlled. There are calls for a return to freedom; but, we have never been free. People need leaders. Odd thing for me to say but it is true. How we choose our leaders determines the outcome.
The world has changed, it has become more global and that is okay as long as democracy and government remain local. Because the world has changed, people are agitated. Most people do not understand what the consequences of the world changes are. Even the leaders do not understand what is coming. World leadership is afraid, they are afraid of their own people not accepting the changes.
People have lost faith in their leaders who are corrupt and more concerned with their personal rewards than in improving conditions of the people they are supposed to lead. The leaders have lost faith in the people who are corrupt also. The problem is that we accept corruption anywhere.
We have now arrived at a place where things cannot improve unless we reject corruption in all it's sources. The problem is that nobody is presenting a plan for improving everyone's life. Our morals no longer exist, we have replaced morals with a belief that people should do as they wish (always with the caveat "as long as they don't hurt anyone else"). We do not ask if it is right, we ask if it is allowable.
Europe is a lost cause. Here is a good video on population rates and Europe's Islamization. I am not calling the Muslims corrupt, I am talking about European cultures demise.
The Europeans, the west, has been telling their people that they are overpopulating; but, then they turn around and let in millions and millions of people from other countries, primarily Muslims because they need a larger workforce. Think about that. The Europeans are being told to not have children and are replacing themselves with foreigners who want to change their laws to Islamic law.
Now I want you to ask yourself this question. If Europe had allowed their population size to decrease and had not let in millions of immigrants then their countries would not be overpopulating and they would not have the problems that the Muslims are causing them, so why did they let the immigrants in?
People are trained NOT to think but instead to have emotional reactions. I often find myself telling people about some news event and the first response people give is to say how they "feel" about the situation. They think about how they feel about the event rather than investigating the event and coming to an opinion AFTER they have investigated and have a deeper understanding.
A change occurred in our educational systems. 40 years ago we were taught to THINK, not to feel. We were taught to understand before coming to an opinion. The education system changed and teachers began asking children how they felt about history or current events. All opinions were considered equally valuable, they are not. There are no dumb questions but there are plenty of dumb answers.
We no longer believe anything, not even the truth because we do not seek it. People seek out answers that allow them to do what they want. We want simple answers and complain that the laws are too complicated. They are; but, the answer is found in learning more, not learning less.
When you heard about rioters attacking Prince Charles, what was your first response. Was it related to your opinion about there still being Kings and Queens looking down on the rest of us? As an alternate was your first thought about how these kids were out of control? In either case your opinion was based upon feelings rather than an investigation into the effect and the cause.
There is a lot of chatter about whether or not 9/11 was an inside job. It may or may not be an important question; but, what is a more important question is whether or not we should be at war. Juliane Assange has been arrested (the guy from Wikileaks) on some bogus charge of rape for not wearing a condom. Politicians world wide have called for his death and arrest because he released secret and confidential documents. We just released 5 known spies and England is releasing one it just caught. Why are we releasing spies and going after Assange? The spies gave the information to foreign governments, Assange gave the information to the people. Governments hide information from their own people not from other governments. They trust their own people less than they trust other governments, even enemies.
The United States government refused to admit in court that Area 51 existed, they were not hiding the fact from the Russians or Chinese, they have their own satellites and can see Area 51, the truth was being hid from Americans. Does this not seem strange to you?
What is all of this leading to, I have no idea. I have to get started on making meatballs for dinner tonight. Meatball sandwiches sounded good, I hope you enjoy your dinner. Be well.

Distracted
Well, it is soon. Today I was assigned a person at the loan processing company to work with me to have a Deed in Lieu situation. Basically I sign the deed over to the loan company and walk away.
When I was younger I wanted to get married, have kids, pay off my house by the time I retired and spend my retirement traveling with my wife. Missed it by that much. LOL.
Now I don't want to own anything that I can't carry in my car. I have already raised a family. I feel no need to raise another.
I think the only thing I still want is to retire from this job. All of this sort of put me in an odd mood. I am not depressed or even unhappy, I think that more than anything else I am just pondering the light at the end of the tunnel. It is one of those what next moments. I thought I knew what I wanted to do; but, I am not sure.
It is probably good that I stopped dating for awhile. Dating was fun and the ladies were all a joy to get to know and spend time with; but, I have no idea what I want the rest of my life to be. I still haven't decided.
How does one decide what they want from life? It was easy when I was young. I am not that entranced by the toys of this world. I think the better question may be whether or not I know what type of relationship I want to be in if any. Just distracted. Be well.
