A whole bunch of news stories for you dear readers. Lets get right to it. Wait, wait, I forgot something. I saw my accountant (tax filing) and my attorney today. It was so nice to see the both of them, real dolls and very good at what they do. I was actually asked to right a book on accounting and a book on public easements. I did not write either and probably never will. I don't really need an accountant to file my taxes, I am more than capable. It is only in the last few years that I have relied on professional help and I like it. Less stress in my life and I was blessed with wonderful people who have helped me move on. My accountant had the best news in the world for me, with my tax return, I will be able to pay off the last my debts.
When I divorced, I was left with all the debt, about $350,000 worth. I was able to get a Deed in Lieu, that excused about $290,000 of the debt. In the last four years I have paid it down to about $5,000 and I will pay that off as soon as I get my tax return. My attorney watched all this happen and it was really nice to be able to tell her that I am paying it all off this year. Let me go back, to get a Deed in Lieu you have to basically prove that a change in your life circumstance makes it impossible for you to pay them back and they take the house back in exchange for whatever you owe, a complete forgiveness with no blame attached. Basically, you have to prove you were a good guy. I did not know how rare these are anymore, I recently read that in the last few years only 14,000 have been granted and I was one of those. The number of foreclosures is in the millions. It makes little difference from a credit standpoint; but, it was important to me personally that I make every effort to pay my debts. If the mortgage processing company had not taken over two years to process the paperwork, the house would have been worth as much as I owed. Anyways, my attorney could not have been more happy for me to finally be debt free. She hugged and kissed me (on the cheek). The thing that makes my people so special to me is that they actually care about me and in truth I actually care about them. Now to the news.
Yahoo - Associated Press - Golden Gate Bridge to go to digital toll system. They have automated toll paying on the Golden Gate Bridge, cheaper and more efficient then using people, now, we just film everyone going over the bridge. Trading privacy for cheaper rates. Selling our rights for cheap discounts. LOL.
Bloomberg - Miles-Driven Could Replace Gasoline Tax, LaTourette Says. I have written about this too many times, it is coming. We are not going to tolerate unrestricted travel in the future, we will price you out of it.
Yahoo - CNBC - American Dream Is Back, So Are Stocks: CNBC Survey. Things are not getting better, there is no reason for the stock market to rise other than to crash it, steal you money when you sell and trick you.
Huffington Post - 5 Body Modifications That Can Give You A Sixth Sense. Three cheers for transhumanism.
More to come.

Transportation is More Important Than Guns
So the two biggest news stories right now, the ones that are really interesting people are guns and gay marriage. The conservatives have something to be passionate and stupid about and the liberals have the same, things to be passionate and irrational about. We will not see guns outlawed in the United States and we will see gay marriage. Something for everyone and completely missing the point. You are being distracted by things that will go exactly as I have said. At the same time, there is practically no reporting on the impending doom of the Euro, something that will impact you greatly.
While I was at work today I asked people what they knew about Cyprus and they didn't even know it was a country. I did not ask one or two people, I asked many. The most important story right now is what is going on in the Eurozone. Read my posts for the past week and read the links, then, check on what is going on today. This is important stuff. Tomorrow gays will still have sex with one another and people will still have their guns; but, if we see a bank run, we are in for a full blown depression. More people protested in France against Gay Marriage then protested about the economy and the French love a good protest.
Now here a couple of little news articles. Yahoo - Associated Press - Golden Gate Bridge to go to digital toll system. They have automated the toll system for the Golden Gate Bridge, this is wonderful, now we will need you to have a transponder on your car to pay, we will know when you go of and off the bridge and everywhere else you go; but, we will save money and get rid of those nasty civil servants.
Bloomberg - Miles-Driven Could Replace Gasoline Tax, LaTourette Says. I have written about this for years now, it is coming. Every mile you travel will be taxed if you use a car. Worry about your guns and worry about gay marriage; but, they are coming for your mobility and that limits what information you can pass on in person. It pushes you to use the internet to communicate and all internet traffic is monitored on some level.
The last little article is simply deceitful. Yahoo - CNBC - American Dream Is Back, So Are Stocks: CNBC Survey. It is just deceitful and willfully so. The economy is not better, the stock market is being inflates so that people will buy stock high and sell it low when the Euro implodes. If you do buy stock, hold on to it and wait for the market to recover. As for the housing market, it is horrible and it is going to get worse. They are not building homes for the marginal and people with good jobs are still buying, that is why the market is going up. It is because those who do have money are moving up.

It is getting weirder, I love the news
Wall Street Journal - Science Fiction Comes Alive as Researchers Grow Organs in Lab. I think the title sort of says it all.
LA Daily News - The cash register rings its last sale. The infrastructure for physical cash is going bye bye. Soon stores will refuse physical cash completely, hiding it under your bed won't do any good when nobody will accept it.
New York Times - Big Data Is Opening Doors, but Maybe Too Many. Just another article lying about how your privacy will be protected, it will not.
Fox News - Laptonmag - Apple can now track you indoors. Everywhere you go and everything you do is going to be tracked.
Forbes - If Alan Greenspan Wants To 'End The Fed', Times Must Be Changing. LOL. I believe the reserve banks will be destroyed, just like the International Monetary Fund said they would be. You will jump up and down when the international debt is eliminated; but, that is when the real fun begins and most people will never understand what has occurred. I have already posted to the IMF website for the Chicago Plan Revisited and will not bother doing so again, search it.
Now I am going to get a little weird. I want you to read each of the articles and they I will discuss where this all "could" go and ask my readers a question. Yahoo - Scientific America - "Every Breath You Take, Every Move You Make " How Much Monitoring Is Too Much? Here is the deal, they have technology that can monitor your health 24/7, even your smart phone can be used to predict a heart attack or tell others if you have had a stroke. I am at risk for both of those things according to my doctors and I will not be monitored 24/7 for it.
BBC - Electronic tattoo 'could revolutionise patient monitoring'. This little temporary tattoo, heck, you won't even see it with your eyes, will protect you and monitor your health.
PC World - IDG News Service - Japanese ATMs to Use Palm Readers in Place of Cash Cards. Now lets put some technologies together. If you use your palm as your biometric identification for accessing your money, then, how will we prevent people from chopping off your hand to access your money? Well, if you have a health monitoring "tattoo", then it wouldn't do anyone any good to cut off your hand as your mark would prove you were not in possession of your hand. Now for those of you who believe in the bible, it says that everyone will be required to receive a mark on their hand or forehead to buy or sell.
Our lead pastor got sick and I had to preach on Sunday. I talked about how they can now have a chicken lay eggs for other birds. They laughed, it is funny. They laughed and then explained that the same technology could allow humans to birth chimps. Then it stopped being so funny. I have writing this blog for years now, I have had many interesting experiences and met some very interesting people. I did not even preach when I started this blog. I have made a few thousand posts, that is a lot of work. I have never made a dime from my writing and don't plan to. I do not know how much longer I will continue it. I fear that I have little left to offer. I think I have laid out my beliefs and given my perspective. To the family of the good Pastor that was killed, I can never tell you how deeply I have been touched by your reaching out to me. My dearest Robbie, I think of you always dear lady, you helped me when I needed help and to find my way again. Bet you never thought I would be preaching, lol. Stephen Hawking is still a douche and everything going on with public pensions is still a lie and a fraud on all of us. I was honored that Zuma Dogg bothered reading me. I really enjoy people asking me about this blog and reading it, I just don't know what to say about that.
I do not plan on stopping the blog tonight; but, a day will come when I stop. I do not know what day that is, maybe when the things that I have said are coming are completely in everyone's face. Here is the question. What will you do if we go to only electronic money and the only way you can prove it is you accessing your money is to take an invisible electronic mark or tattoo? Will you take it? What will you do when a simple shot can change your genetics and allow you to live twice as long and in perfect health?
Let me be incredibly clear. I believe we are entering the end times. I have no dates and dates are subject to change. Everything that was predicted 2,000 years ago in the Book of Revelations now has it's infrastructure in place. I find that amazing. I am a pretty good analyst and I can predict things a decade in advance on a good day, 2,000 years is way beyond my skill set. No human can accurately predict 2,000 years in advance; but, the bible did. When all the currencies collapse, things will accelerate and you won't mind because everything will get better, at least for a bit. I don't talk about religion on this blog; but, I am clearly very spiritual and I see things going badly. For my fellow Christians, I wish to be clear, expect it to go very badly; but, remember, it ends well. The earth does not get destroyed, we don't all die. I believe Jesus is coming, that is what the book says and am a Christian, just in case anyone was confused.
Look around you, wake up and take responsibility for your choices. Read about Cyprus. I accurately predicted the month that the housing bubble would collapse, I accurately predicted to the hour when the stock market would crash and I am accurate in saying that the currencies will all collapse. I am not always right and get no help, I have no assistants working on this blog with me. Yet, the currencies will collapse and that is intentional. It is also intentional that some people know this is all intentional. A game within a game within an a game.
I shall post some more; but, truly I do not know how much more. This blog is barely a blip, a hundred views on a good day and about 1,200 a month. No fancy graphics, not many pictures and no video except links to songs. It is just that I want this blog to be relevant and I think I may just be treading water that I have tread in the past. We shall see.

Finding the Truth Amongst So Many Lies
There are truths, there is reality and then there is what we are told. A mix of truth and lies, how does one get to the essence of reality, how does one determine what is true? These are old and philosophical questions. Let us look at some news articles and talk about it.
Yahoo News - Reuters - Cyprus scrambles to avert meltdown, EU threatens cutoff. Sort of throwing the spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks. This is a media trick to gauge our reactions to possible decisions. We call these trial balloons, you put something in the media to see how people respond.
Mail Online - Is your office computer watching you? New monitor developed that can tell if you're NOT paying attention at work. Now, if your employer just started requiring you to be monitored while working, you would leave and they would not be able to recruit new employees; but, if you grow up expecting then it won't bother you as much and you will just accept it.
Time Newsfeed - Next, the Turducken: Scientists Say a Duck Has Fathered a Chicken. Here is a quote from the article, "And now, science is on its way towards making the Turducken a reality — sort of: a duck has successfully fathered a chicken at the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory in Dubai." LOL, lets mess with nature some more because we can make a great meal with what we create. At what point in time do we understand where all the genetic modification is leading? What if a pig could give birth to a human-pig hybrid. Would you be okay with that?
Wired - Apple Finally Adds Two-Step Verification to iCloud and Apple ID. It is so close that I can taste it, very soon you will not be allowed to use your phone, the internet or transportation unless you have proven who you are in real life.
Yahoo - Associated Press - The cash register rings its last sale
. I am telling you, physical currency will be eliminated and you can make money off this by betting against cash registers, armored cars and other technologies designed to deal with physical cash.
Wired - Mercedes’ Next Flagship Does the Commuting for You. Look, a car that can almost drive itself and you will be safer. Why should we allow anyone to drive their own car when it is so unsafe? Yeah.
This one just touched my heart. I am so glad that I got to be there for my dad when he died, I am glad he knew he was loved as he passed on. Death holds no fear for me, I have seen it. Living without being able to forgive scares me. Peace. Yahoo - Dax Shepard’s Touching Ode to His Late Father
Mail Online - Six of the world’s seven billion people have mobile phones... but only 4.5billion have a toilet says UN report. More tech monitoring you than toilets, we do have priorities.
Last but not least, I am going to provide a link to an actresses website. Her name is Dana Delany and I find her incredibly attractive, if anyone wonders what I find attractive in a woman physically. For all I know she would find me boring and unattractive. She supports some charities that I agree with. In particular she support Scleroderma awareness and research. I believe her brother had it; but, don't quote me on this. I wish I was younger and I could invite her to an event; but, the reality is that she will be an unrequited love (oddly enough, my mother really liked her). If I was to date again and go out with an older woman, this would be the one. LOL, I think she is very hot. I know she uses twitter; but, I do not, otherwise I would tell her how attractive she was. This is the problem with the internet, we can contact anyone and I choose not to annoy her.

The World Just Get's Odder - News
I am going to try and get everyone caught up on the news. I have no extensive comments; but, just wanted to bring up the real news, the things that will actually impact you that you don't know.
Yahoo News - The Week - How Facebook knew a man was gay before he came out. Stories like this are meant to let you know that your online activities can tell others a lot about you. Basically the moral of the story, according to the writer, was you just have to accept it.
KABC - Chase Bank customers temporarily see '0' balance. A "glitch" made lots of people's money disappear on Saturday; but, it came back.
Laptop - Samsung Confirms Smart Watch as Apple War Moves to Wrist. Not a lot to say about this yet; but, there is a reason they want to put computers on our wrists. Personally, I keep thinking it has something to do with electronic money. Nobody buys watches anymore.
Fox News - Stricter COPPA laws due in July to govern underage kids on Facebook, Tumblr. COPPA is an old law to protect kids online. Most websites meet it's requirements by having people attest to their age or say they are over 18. It is most likely that websites will require people to prove their real identity. My guess is that in the end Google or Facebook will require you prove your identity and age and then they will certify you in some manner to access any and all adult sites.
Huffington Post - Reuters - Freddie Mac Sues More Than A Dozen Banks Over Libor Losses. More attempts to lead us to destroy the banking system and put all of the control in the hands of government.
Yahoo - Business Insider - Scientists Want to Bring Some Animals Back from Extinction. There we are playing God again.
Silicone Angle - DARPA Project Aims To Record Every Single Word You Ever Speak. I am not really familiar with this website; but, it doesn't really matter because the information was all over the net.
Forbes - Will Body Monitoring Implants Be The Future of Healthcare?. This article questions whether or not you might have to have an implant that monitors your health in order to get health insurance. Here is the last paragraph from the article, "While Obamacare limits how rates can be set, it does appear that discounts for wellness and prevention programs of some form will be allowed. It’s unclear whether or not this would include discounts for healthy behavior as reported by implantable biosensors. But if healthcare costs continue growing and technological innovation in this area improves the economic pressure will be on lawmakers to allow this, insurance companies to promote it, and individuals to abide by it. Obviously this will strike many today as extremely invasive, but if healthcare costs take up enough of our income then I predict the invasiveness will seem less and less consequential."
Fast Coexist - Organs On A Chip Might Soon Simulate The Entire Human Body. Here is another way to consider it YouTube - Rocky Horror.
EUobserver - Germany to Cyprus: your banks might never re-open. Here are the choices in Cyprus. Lets us steal from your bank accounts, let us tax you to unheard of levels, let us stop providing any services or give up your mineral rights to your own country. Basically, we are going to shoot you, pick where.
The Guardian - Press regulation deal sparks fears of high libel fines for bloggers. Many are calling this the end to freedom of the press in the UK.
France24 - AFP - Revolt against City of London's medieval elders. So the City of London is like a nation to itself. It is also where all the finances are. It is the heart and essence of all of their finances and their biggest industry and now people want to end it's special privileges.
BBC - IMF head Lagarde's flat searched in Bernard Tapie probe. This could be a very big story, we will have to wait and see what they found.
NBC News - Bernanke: Cyprus poses 'no major risk' to U.S. banks, economy. Either this man is always wrong or always lying and he seems like a smart man. Still, he hasn't been right about the housing bubble, the market crash, our non-recovery. The issue is not Cyprus, the issue is what is going to be told to Spain, Italy, Ireland and Greece. What options will the EU give them? The concern over that in these other countries could very well cause a run on the banks.

Still, he hasn't been right about the housing bubble, the market crash, our non-recovery. The issue is not Cyprus, the issue is what is going to be told to Spain, Italy, Ireland and Greece. What options will the EU give them? The concern over that in these other countries could very well cause a run on the banks.

Pension Fraud round 2
So here is an article from the LA Times - Former CalPERS officials indicted on fraud, obstruction charges. Here is the opening paragraph:
"Federal prosecutors in San Francisco indicted former CalPERS Chief Executive Fred Buenrostro and former board member Alfred J.R. Villalobos on Monday afternoon as part of a years-long investigation into possible influence-peddling and corruption." Then we have this article from the LA Times - CalPERS indictments: Should more heads roll?.
Now, here is what we know. Firstly, California did not file criminal charges against these two. Secondly, many of the same people from Calpers that gave Mr. Villalobos money are still there. Thirdly, Federal prosecutors said that this prosecution is the result of years of investigation. My long term readers will remember that there is another man that I have been talking about for years, Mr. Elliott Broidy. Mr. Broidy had plead guilty to fraud and bribery with the New York public pensions. Mr. Broidy was basically set free in exchange for his helping convict government officials in New York and now he is back in Los Angeles. What if he turns evidence against these people, he was also on public pension boards and knows them.

Bad News in Cyprus
Well, it is officially hitting the fan. Today it was announced that the Eurozone has ordered Cyprus to take 7 to 10% of everyone's bank accounts in order to get a bailout for their banks. They have a bank holiday till Wednesday and people cannot do anything to get their money out. If they do not get the bailout then they will default on their debt and if they do get the bailout, there is a good chance they will default in May anyways.
As a consequence of this, stocks are falling across the globe. There is also a very good chance that we will see bank runs in other countries such as Italy, Greece, Spain and Ireland. This may very well lead to the currency collapse of the Euro and the Dollar. I recommend that all of my readers keep an eye on the stock market tomorrow.
