Anomalies on Mars
Someone who was going through google Mars, found something odd. Read the article and watch the video, well worth it. Perhaps we are being primed for something, some sort of revelation about aliens, that would be amusing and make me doubt it even more.

Public Pensions and the lie of underfunding
The Government Finance Officers Association is made up of the best in government finance. They have issued a fact sheet on the status of government pension funds, they say there is no crisis and they should know. Now lets ask ourselves why would we be told there is a crisis with the pension funds and why the media is not reporting what the GFOA is saying.
Let us consider this, if the funds were basically giving away the excess, losing hundreds of millions, then the people running them would need more to keep up their little ponzi schemes.
I remember posting recently about one investment firm that lost hundreds of millions of dollars of pension money and said that the pension funds for government employees were too generous. There needed to be basically more to give to his friends and not return the funds to the people who they were created for.
That is what is really behind the pension crisis, not there being adequately funded for the employees.

Something to consider
Just got up and read this article. A man has now been completely cured of AIDS through a bone marrow transplant and stem cell therapy, he is now immune to AIDS. I had brought this up a while back. He is cured because a babies life was stopped, it was not allowed to grow. While we are glad that he is cured of AIDS, we have entered a "Brave New World" where we can now make ourselves healthier by taking parts from embryos.
Is this the direction we wish to head in?

Hmm, sounds like something is up
Ron Kaye, former editor of the Daily News had an interesting post. I will provide the link. What he is saying is that a Federal Grand Jury has issued permission for electronic surveillance of people working for the City of Los Angeles and that the FBI is looking all over the place. He mentions the Department of Transportation. Hmm, could that have anything to do with the City Controller issuing a audit or the DOT, she wanted to get the first kudos, a political move?
Pension, FBI and Politicians
If Zuma Dogg is correct, then the world is going to get very interesting real quick. I don't know, I kind of think he is right.
My Brain is Hurting Again
This article is very complicated and disturbing. We owe a lot of money as a nation.

Another Wonderful Dinner
Had dinner with a friend again. He is becoming quite the force to reckon with. I suggest the other young stallions stay out of his way unless they are headed in the same direction. I think he liked seeing that everywhere we went, the people working at the establishments knew me and liked seeing me come in. I think maybe it helped him to know that things are just fine for me where I am.
I told him things that unfortunately I cannot discuss here at this moment, I may or may not talk about them in a week or so, we shall see. There is a time to everything and now is not the time. Sometimes it is okay to stay out of things and let them handle themselves in their own manner, sometimes it is okay to let others just do their part.
Same thing with my dear friend, I like to hear how he has already handled his stuff. He knows what to do and just goes out and does it. He can then tell me his story and we all have one; but, his is worth hearing because it ends with things being better.
I read a report today, it said that for the first time in a long time Israelis were allowed to pray on the temple mount, this is big folks. A religious ceremony by Jews was performed on the temple mount. Keep an eye on the mount, something is up and Perez has said that he can see peace for Jerusalem in our time. Peace, I remember reading something about peace in the mideast.
Well dear readers, I must post and say goodnight. I will spend more time when I can.
