For the past 30 years there has been a trend to get rid of the dreaded "two party system". In California we are going to vote on having "open" primaries. Rather than voting for members of your party, you can vote for any party. Sounds good huh?
In England they are eliminating the two party system by going to proportional representation. Isn't it funny that they had the same idea as us at the same time or vice versa? I had previously posted on England's "coalition" government. Now lets look at what these changes will mean.
Lets start with the mantra that has been repeated to everyone for the past two years. "Too big to fail". We have been told that we cannot afford to have organizations that are too big to fail. What they really mean is too big to compete. That is what happens when you don't have two parties. Coalitions cannot make big changes, they can never agree on them.
The lack of one party with control is that you cannot make major changes. You cannot agree on a complete plan, only bits. That is the purpose behind getting rid of partisan politics. Once a general plan is in place, eliminate competition so that the rules, overall, stay.
It is not about too big to fail, it is about impossible to compete. That is the game. Imagine living in a society with 1% of the population being child molesters. In a no two party, "proportional" government, they would get 1% of the votes. If a party needed 1% to have control of the government, they would take the 1% knowing that the 1% will always be outvoted and cannot institute their bigger policies, they cannot change the fundamental laws. This also means that child molesters decide your final laws on everything else. Get it?

Don't listen to Bernanke
Bernanke is saying that the European debt crisis will only have a "moderate" impact on the United States. Don't believe anything he says. He is the same idiot that said the housing market would not crash, he said the market was sound, he said that the subprime problem would not spread. This traitor has not been right yet.
Here is the most likely scenerio. Greece will default, Spain will be at risk and our stock market will lose 20% or more. Get your money out of the market before the 18th. That is my opinion and advice.

Coming of the Cloud
The future of technology is almost here. It is cloud computing and it will trade your privacy for security. Most people won't even notice the difference.
Wired Magazine article on Microsoft's coming cloud
I really do hope you will read the article, it is important to your future. The basics are that you will put all of your information, photos, phone logs, texts, twitters, documents, contacts, everything on servers controlled by Google or Microsoft or whoever. Nothing will be on your computer, not even software, it will merely be a conduit to access your information.
The benefits of this technology is that the programs you use will always be current, your computer will be cheaper, you will have access to programs on demand, you will be able to access your information from anywhere using multiple technologies including your television. The downside, others will have access to all your information, others will be able to profile you and your actions better and you can be denied access to your information completely.
Consider the consequences of where we are headed. If you can access any book online then why would we have libraries? Libraries are expensive, books are made from trees, cities and counties are cash strapped. Eventually there will be a move to prohibit, or make very expensive, the printing of anything on paper. It will be considered outdated and eco-terrorism.
These things will not happen overnight but they will happen. What then happens to alternate view points, how do they get communicated? A couple of years ago I began talking to people about the coming censorship of the internet. At the time I was looking at England, China and Australia. Some laughed at me, one in particular ended up moving to Australia. Australia now filters the internet. Couldn't happen here.
If you want to know what is going to happen in the future, look at the infrastructure being put in place. Ask yourself what can be done with the infrastructure and I guarantee you, somebody will use it in that manner. That is just a question of time. It is history.
Here is an article on Julian Assange, the founder of wikileaks. They are the ones who posted the video of soldiers killing unarmed people in Iraq. They also posted the climategate e-mails and Sarah Palin's private e-mails. People read about what he does and miss the bigger picture. Nothing done online is private.
Assange posted Scientology manuals on-line. When they complained, he published more. I am no fan of Scientology, I have already posted on it's founder. But lets look at how the information was used. It was used with a "If you don't like it, I will publish more of your private information" attitude. Do you really think that if Assange can get the information that the government can't do the same?
The Pentagon will demand access to your computer networks.
Interesting article on telephone companies relationship to the government
Now if you think these things cannot happen, some of them already did, you just don't know it. Google docs obtained by FBI. For those who don't believe, go back to sleep, it couldn't happen here.

Word search
Go to google or yahoo, type in pension corruption and suicide. Check the numbers
Yahoo - 1,930,082
Google - 2,640,000
That is a lot of hits for suicides related to the corruption of pension programs. These three words should not bring up millions of hits. Think about it.

Of Spirals in the Sky
Australian news media are reporting strange lighted spirals in the sky over Australia. They even have pictures and video. Remember the Norway spiral, there was also a Canadian spiral.
So what is it with light spirals in the sky, are the Russians having failed missiles tests everywhere. It should be apparent that the spirals in the sky are not from missiles. You could have told that from the Norway spiral by looking at the center and asking yourself which direction the "missile" was headed. Both ways, lol. Baahh.
So, what the heck are these things. Lets see, Russian missiles gone astray, ufos, God's signs, government holograms, natural phenomenon. It is either man-made, god-made or natural. Which answer do you prefer? Doesn't really matter to me, I am more interested in the explanations that don't work. I like to watch the government and news media lie. They are afraid to say they don't know, instead they say the government and the experts don't know.
There is a line in the bible. Something along the lines of all truth beginning and ending with the experts. It is sarcasm, I like sarcasm.

Lets look at some questionable things
It is Sunday and I am washing dishes and laundry. I am also paying bills. I don't want people to think all I do is blog. I already put my suits together with shirts for the week. In between I read and write. In addition, writing one of my posts only takes about 30 minutes. It is about 100 degrees outside so staying in seems like a good idea.
I was reading a Chinese newspaper and came across an article on their advice to the United States. They recommend that we listen to Obama and allow him to duplicate their economic model. In another article they talk about how China needs to create basic universal healthcare for all in China.
Wait a second. Universal healthcare for China, I thought it was already state run. I wonder who doesn't get it and why they don't.
Greece protests pension reform
Britain pension overhaul
Japan converted their defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans in 2001.
If you do a little research you will find that just about every nation in the world is discovering at the exact same time that their pension programs are messed up. Most countries are also having problems with healthcare at the same time. Just about every nation is complaining about illegal aliens and foreigners.
The most amusing aspect of reading foreign papers is that the nature of the arguments are all the same. The arguments are always two sides, they say the same thing in each country. Pick five countries, find the biggest newspaper in each and read the front page each day for two weeks, you will see what I mean.
