The difference between freedom and slavery is not the difference between being in chains or running around wherever you want. The difference is whether or not you get a say in the matter, it is about voting. Spain needs a bailout as will Italy and Ireland and Greece again. Germany and France have agreed to help; but, there is a price tag. The price tag is that the debts of all nations will be faced together and backed by Germany. In exchange nations would lose their right to make their own budgets, those would be decided in Brussels by other countries.
Germany is using the economic crisis in order to become the head of Europe. What they could not do through warfare they have achieved through peaceful means and much better intent; however, as one former German Prime Minister pointed out, it could mean the end to all of them. At a minimum, it means the end of true democracy for many Europeans. Imagine if the United States had to ask the United Nations if our budget was acceptable? The economic troubles in Europe are being used to force all of Europe to become a single nation politically, economically and socially without letting the people decide and vote on it themselves.
This is what the world will look like when all of the currencies fail, there will be a call for greater decision making by the United Nations (or the International Monetary Fund) over how much debt countries can have and what they will be limited to if they are bailed out (given even more debt).

How About a Little Quickie?
Came across an article from Mobile News - "A New Plan To Make Stolen Phones Useless?" The FCC is worried that someone might steal your cell phone and wants to help you protect it. Sounds like garbage to me. They never wanted to protect me from having my laptop stolen or my radio or my television, why should they care if someone steals my phone? Rather then just reading the article and thinking "Great, my phone will be safer" ask yourself why the FCC should care.
The article says that the problem is that if someone steals your phone, they can replace the sim card and continue using the phone. The proposed solution is to give every phone a unique identification so that they could not use the phone with a new sim card. Oh and the government is going to create a database of every phone that has been stolen. Sounds like a lot of expense and trouble for something that isn't a problem. Right now if your phone is stolen you can have service terminated immediately and you don't get charged.
What this really means is that when your phone is used for something, if you haven't reported it stolen, you won't be able to claim that someone stole your phone. Now why is this important, simple, your phone will be your cash, we have already talked about that. Now, lets say you want to buy some drugs and transfer money to a drug dealer, if he gets caught you won't be able to say that it wasn't you who paid him, you will have to say it was you or who you let borrow your phone. No black market use of electronic cash.
I think most of us would be okay with that; but, it also means that individual phones could be denied service. Maybe they prohibit hate speech and prevent you from using a phone. No, it will start with prohibiting child molesters from using phones except for "safe" numbers. We will all be happy with that, the real tyranny will come later.

Home Again and Not
I left town for a couple of days to see an old friend and have just returned. It was a great trip and very relaxing. We met some interesting people and had some great food. If you are ever in Laguna Beach, I recommend that you try the food at the Laguna Hotel's "Claes Ovation" restaurant. I didn't stay at the hotel; but, the view and food were fantastic.
Because of my trip, I have not been reading the news. I do not know what is going on for the past few days. What happens when I retire, I will pay even less attention to the world as it matters less and less. Peace.

A Milestone Here
Sometime tonight or tomorrow this little blog will have 20,000 hits. In the scheme of things that may not sound like much; but, it is interesting to me. To all who have come here, I hope you found something of value. When I started this blog four years ago, I never intended to see it last this long.
This whole experience has been interesting. I think back about some of the people who have left comments. A couple of days ago somebody that knew Pastor Daniels left me a very nice comment. I wasn't quite sure how to respond. For me, all posts (except for the really bad ones) are of equal value if they pass on information that people didn't know or ones that maybe get people to consider things in a new way. I never thought that my post on the late Pastor would get viewed by anyone that knew her and I don't know how I feel about it. I am glad that I can be of any service; it is more that I never expected people who didn't know me to read this blog. I am amazed at how many people in foreign countries have read this. I never expected that either.
The posts that were the most important to me were the one's about the Pastor and about pensions. The one's that I enjoy writing the most are the one's where I am attempting to explain something that maybe most people don't understand and I like the one's on quantum physics and the one's showing how technology will be effecting us in the future. There is another benefit to me in writing this blog, it gives me a reason to survey the news on a daily basis looking for things that others might have missed. I always get a kick out of posting stories before they hit Drudge, Alex Jones or others.
While I like reading alternative news sources, I think you have to be careful with them. While the mainstream media pretty much all runs the same stories (nationwide and worldwide), the alternative media tends to over-react to everything. As we watch Greece fall off the edge of the cliff and bank runs in Spain, I think we can all see that we continue to be lied to by our leaders and mass media. The same people who told us that the housing market wasn't going to bust, the same who said that the housing market would have a soft landing and the same one's that told us it would not effect the stock market. They lied and now they want to sell out our retirements and monitor our thoughts. I find it disgraceful that the same world leaders that want cameras in every city, don't televise their meetings at the CFR or Bilderberg meetings.
Just some thoughts.

Who Will Regulate the Internet in the Future?
I am just relaxing today; but, saw this article from the Wall Street Journal and thought I would pass it on to my dear readers. The summary of it is that the United Nations wants to have control over the internet. The internet was "privatized" (the Department of Defense contracted with companies that it created) in 1995. This was really the event that allowed private citizens to use the internet outside of universities and the government. I was one of those people to immediately use it as a part of my job, I was asked to look into it because nobody knew what it would become. I was one of the first 15 million users.
I have watched how the web has changed and grown and it is pretty amazing. When I first began using it, there was no google and no Yahoo and no search engines, you had to know the address. At first it was mostly just a social thing, businesses had not yet invested in having web pages and then I saw that change. The businesses that were first to adopt the web successfully were frequently porn sites, then the non-porn businesses got involved. By the late 1990s the thing had taken off and you could order pizza on-line.
In the beginning the internet was primarily an American thing. Heck, we built it and we own it. Now the United Nations was to be the government body over it. Why should we allow this? If they don't like how it works, they don't need to use it. They also want to tax the use of the internet. Why should the United Nations be allowed to tax Americans for using the internet that our tax dollars created and paid for?
The organizations that maintain and manage IP addresses and domain names and all the rest are funded by the United States Department of Defense, the NSA and others. Rather than us paying for using it (because we already do pay through our taxes), maybe we should be charging the rest of the world for using it. Anyways, you have to understand what the internet is to understand why we don't need to allow international bodies to tax us and tell us what to do. Here is the article.

IPv6, Internet ID's and Lies
Wired - Threat Level - New York Legislation Would Ban Anonymous Online Speech.
I think I have written about this in the past. On the internet, no conversation and nothing you do is private and in the future, they will no who you are everytime you use a cell phone or the internet.
In the last couple of posts I already talked about how Europe wants to assign everyone an individual internet identification. Now I want to show how all of this was planned. It is called IPv6. Internet Protocol Version 6 is a change that will occur on June 26, 2012 and involves changing how many digits are used in your internet address. Put in simplest terms, currently the internet allows for 5 billion individual ip addresses. The new addresses will allow for every person on earth (7 billion) to use billions and billions more. This means that every device can have a new address that is assigned based on who owns the device. If it were not for the fact that the governments want an individual ip address for everyone then none of this would be necessary. The conversion was tested within the last year and I wrote a post about it at the time.
The change in the Internet Protocol is required if you are going to have electronic money and if you are going to give everyone and individual electronic identification; but, the don't mention those things when discussing the change. Having said that, it did come up from privacy groups such as EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center). EPIC has also been very vocal regarding the pending legislation that would require new Social Security Cards to include your biometric information. Hmmm, lets see, everyone gets a social security card and new ones will have your unique biometric information to identify you positively.

Electronic Identities for Europeans
This article from EurActiv.com is entitled "Brussels wants e-identities for EU citizens". What I particularly like about the article and website is that it includes links to the actual European Union papers. That being said, the European Union is promoting a individual electonic (internet) identification code for each and every person in the union. If you go to the end of the article and click on the link to the EU's paper, you will discover that they also propose that everyone have personal control over their verification (biometrics should be able to do the job).
I just had an odd thought. We are now performing face replacements. I wonder how that would work bio-metrically, I mean would you show up as the old you or as the person whose face you had transplanted? Just my mind wandering. The point is that you are going to have all electronic cash and in order to make that work, you have to have an electronic identification that can be proven to be yours. There are many who believe that we will be required someday to have an electronic chip implanted in us (and many who see that as the Mark of the Beast). Aaron Russo was a movie producer and ran for office, he made the claim that the globalists (including his friend Nick Rockefeller) wanted to put RFID chips in us. YouTube - Aaron Russo says Rockefeller told him of One World gov't and RFID chips. Mr. Russo continued to say the same things as he was dying of bladder cancer. While I would not accept a chip, I still do not believe it will be required or is necessary for identification purposes.
This is like conspiracy day at the Pimpernel's blog. No, these are real things; but, I don't think you can find total agreement in any of the groups promoting internationalism, electronic currency or electronic identification. What I do think you will find is sufficient consensus and the issue becomes one of how and in what manner these things are adopted. The goodie that will make people accept all of them is the elimination of current debt, nationally and personally.
You will be required to have an electronic profile as is being done in India (that I have already written about). Many people think these are great things and we should have an open discussion about where we are headed and why. Right now, in Africa, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (along with the assistance from others) is spearheading a move to vaccinate every child in Africa and as part of this program a cell phone is provided to take a picture of each child that is vaccinated and record their identity into an international database. I had previously written about that and provided links. Sorry, when I repeat myself I prefer just to mention my previous posts rather than track them down. If you are interested in the detail, you can search my blog.
Now lets get down to something you have never heard about. SC37. SC37 is the standardization of international biometrics. It is the effort to have every nation use the same standards for biometrics. According to the Chinese government in 2007, they are doing all they can to implement and meet the goals of the program. If you want a real kick, here is a link to a presentation given by the Chinese in London regarding their progress in the area and how it is to be used to access your computer, your money and to travel.
Whether you see biometrics as good or bad, whether you see it as securing your identity or one step closer to the end times. There is still an issue of our knowledge and acceptance of such things and the truth is, most people are not even aware of how close we are to achieving the ends proposed by the international organizations funding these things. Here is what is clear, we have cameras photographing us all the time and we don't even know it. These photos document most aspects of our lives and once taken can be bio-metrically identified. I question the need and question how it could be used to control us.
It has been said that 75% of England's laws are now written by the European Union. How will you feel and what will you think when a mere 25% of all the laws of the world are written by the United Nations? How will you feel and what will you think when you cannot go anywhere without having to live under these laws which will be written by unelected officials as is done in the EU?
One of my biggest problems with biometrics and an over reliance on electronic data is fundamental. What happens when it goes down? What is the backup plan? Traditionally, paper identification took care of that and without a backup, you would not be able to travel or purchase needed supplies. The internet provides convenience in obtaining information; but, it relies on a complex series of servers and computers to work. Once we have gone fully electronic, we are at risk of catastrophic failures.
Hope that gives you all something to think about.
