Happy Thanksgiving in 2015

May all my readers have enjoyed the day with loved ones.

Those Who Rule and What They Hate

The easiest way to control people and have them build their own cages is by convincing them that it is in their own best interest and having them choose the answer or solution themselves. The people who manage the world are those who have studied control. Political Science is the study or controlling societies. With the advent of democratic voting it became the study of influencing public opinion and policy. While many have heard of Machiavelli's "The Prince", it was not the first such proof of this school of learning, it was just the first time the public became aware of it. Prior to that, people didn't even consider the fact that a methodical approach was used to control society.

If we accept the fact that people study controlling others than we must ask what things would they find the most of a hindrance. Democracy is one thing that would get in the way of control. This is also the reason that many have always tried to limit voting to specific groups. In the United States both women and blacks were not allowed to vote for decades and decades. Many who voted on the constitution wanted to limit voting to male land owners. Why don't we let felons vote? I mean just because someone is a felon doesn't mean they are not effected by the laws that they must live under and remember, they already were released to society. Political parties are nothing more than a few picking their parties nominees. The reason nobody likes our choices for office is because they are chosen by a few within the party and the party is meant to tell you who to vote for. Party conventions are not really to choose the candidate, they are there to excite the members who only think their opinions matter.

The Church gets in the way of those who wish to rule the world or a nation. The church says there are rules that you must live by. It does not matter which religion you pick, they are all hated because they all tell people what they cannot do. Cannot means to refuse the government. Mohammed Ali refused to go to Vietnam based on religious conviction and he was found guilty of a crime for it. Many went to jail when they refused to kill during the Vietnam war.

True socialism, that is people working together for the common good, is detested by those who wish to control. You cannot control the majority of people if there is no carrot or stick. Even worse is the idea of the great unwashed masses looking out for their best interests by working together, they have to be reliant on getting rewarded only when they benefit their leaders. While independence is seen as annoying, interdependence is seen as revolt.

The thing that pisses off those who control us the most is when we don't follow, when we choose for ourselves and are in agreement and don't give them the answer they want. For the first time in a long time we have two candidates who are not controlled by the controllers of this world, Trump and Sanders, and you know what they will not be allowed to win. I would bet money in Vegas on that right this second. Neither will be President. The winner is probably going to be Clinton. If the Republican party sabotages Trump, I guarantee that a lot of Republicans will leave the party. Parties have died before, you don't see too many Tory's anymore. If Trump gets the nomination and loses to Clinton the Republican's will blame it on their members who voted for Trump in the primaries.

Now here is where life could get really interesting. What if Trump won the Republican nomination for President, accepted it and then ran as an Independent. If he did that, he would beat Clinton because Democrats would feel better about voting for an Independent than a Republican. Now that would be truly interesting. I do not expect Trump to run as a third party; but, if he won the parties nomination and then ran as an independent anyways, he would win. Heck, if he actually did it the way I have outlined, congress; both Democrats and Republicans, would have to vote for his policies out of fear of losing their seats in the next election.

Syrian Refugees and Stupidity.

Huffington Post - Mayor Wonders If We Need WWII-Style Internment Camps After Paris Attacks. Ok so this mayor and the other politicians it discusses are complete and utter idiots and fascists. You do not get to say you defend the Constitution and then put people who have not been found guilty of anything in jail or an internment camp. What this country did to the Japanese was the most illegal thing this country has ever done. You might think slavery was the worst thing we have done or even the killing of the Indians; but, those things were actually legal. They may have been worse; but, they were legal and that is a separate issue.

Huffington Post - Jeb Bush: Let's Focus On Helping The Christian Syrian Refugees, Rather Than The Muslims. I guess if we really want to play it safe we will only allow gay atheists in the country as they have more to fear from ISIS than any other group.

Huffington Post - Ben Carson Compares Some Refugees To Rabid Dogs. Ever since the attacks in Paris a lot of Republicans have been spouting very anti-Muslim nonsense. The United States supported a civil war in Syria and now there are people trying to leave that country, what a surprise. Every Muslim is not a fanatic anymore than every Christian bombs abortion clinics. Extremists gravitate towards religious dogma because it justifies their actions in their minds. They just blame their actions on God.

Pastor Carol Daniels - 2015 - Letter to a Newspaper

YouTube - New details uncovered in murder of Anadarko pastor.

I noticed a big increase in blot hits which used the search term "Pastor Carol Daniels" in the last couple of days and then some of them also searched for a letter. A search on the net did not bring up any newspaper articles so I searched YouTube and found the above news report. Apparently about a year ago a letter was received at a local newspaper that suggested a number of disturbing reasons why Daniels may have been killed. As a result of this the OSBI is actively looking at the case again. As far as I can tell the letter has not been released to the public.

If the letter had said that it was from the killer it would be considered evidence; but, the reliability would still be in question; however, nothing in the report claims that the writer of the letter confessed to anything. My takeaway from all of this is that the OSBI is still looking into the case. I doubt the letter proved useful as they have had it for a year according to the report. Then again, we don't know what else they may have discovered and their is always hope. I am making this post just to make it easier for people who are following this case to stay current.

UPDATE:

Here is another link to the video; but, this one has a transcript. Apparently a woman who was in jail was questioned though we do not know what she said. What I found interesting was when the head of the OSBI said that, "the killer could be in Anadarko, the killer could be anywhere in Oklahoma". What he did not say is that the person could be anywhere in the United States and could in fact still be in Anadarko. That is interesting because it means that they in fact have someone or some specific people in mind. Remember Anadarko is a very small town with only about 6,500 residents.

Dr. Demento and the Power of Laughter

For years I thought I first heard Dr Demento on the California State University Northridge radio station. From what I have read it was actually on a Pasadena radio station. That is also in the San Fernando Valley area. The station was KPPC and from what I read tonight it was considered "underground" at the time. He didn't stay there long and in 1971 he went to KMET another local station. After moving to KMET he played more comedy novelty songs and less just old and odd blues songs. In 1974 Dr Demento went national in syndication. He went into even bigger distribution by 1978; but, by then I had moved from the area. The truth of the matter is that I listened to Dr Demento before he had his big break and real national fame. I treasure the memory of his beginnings.

When I was a tween, Sundays were spent listening to comedy songs and funky old blues with Dr Demento telling us stories about the history of the music. I will get back to the Doctor; but, please enjoy these humorous links. We need more humorous songs and more silliness to put up with the harshness that seems to be modern life. Be well and enjoy.

Number of Hits and Garbage

This blog has somewhere around 76,000 hits. It took two months for me to get 500 hits a month and at my highest readership I got around 2,200 hits a month. Right now I am getting about 1,400 a month. It sounds pitiful compared to commercial sites and sites dedicated to video games. LOL. Someone asked me once in a comment if I was doing this to make money. Oh my, if this was how I made my money I would have starved to death years ago. Even if I had adds on this site, what would I have made, a buck and a quarter? $76? LOL.

No matter what you are interested in, I am not a subject matter based person, the subjects change on a daily basis. It is not a personality based blog as I never identify myself. It is not a friendly blog as I am usually calling out the establishment for trying to lead us wherever they think we should be. My single most read post had about 2,500 different readers. That is not much in a world where Justin Bieber gets millions of hits in a day. Nope this is not a viral blog. It probably never will be and was never intended to be such. Having said what I have, imagine speaking before 2,500 people in one day. I have actually done that. I have literally spoken in front of a couple thousand people at one time. You don't have to speak to the world to be heard and if you start a blog and get 500 hits on one post, think of it like speaking before an audience of 500 people. If your average audience per month is 500 people, that is amazing. If you have a story to tell, create a blog and then fill it daily or regularly with whatever you believe you have to add to the life conversation. You don't need to go viral.

Do you understand that everything you do online is a message that is read and I don't mean literally. Every view to a porn site is logged, it matters little which site. If people spend 90% of their time online playing games or buying stuff then it is clear that they are not worried about what is going on in the world and don't worry about the truth or news or anything truly important. That is tracked. Our stats for using the internet are tracked to understand what we are interested in, not individually; but, as a group. Look up what is "trending" on the internet and you understand what it's users care about.

Bill Cosby's Daughter and Mike Tyson

I don't know what caused me to remember this; but, I am surprised that nobody else has brought it up in light of the accusations that Bill Cosby has raped multiple women after drugging them. Back in the early 1990s Mike Tyson was accused of violence against women and having raped some women. In fact, Tyson was convicted of rape in 1992, was sentenced to six years and served three years.

Well, back in 1991 or so Erinn Cosby went on the Phil Donahue show to discuss how she had been raped by Mike Tyson. Her claim was that Bill Cosby, her father, convinced her to not charge him with a crime and instead convinced Tyson to seek out counseling. In light of what has since been reveled about Bill Cosby it is interesting how he dealt with his daughters rape.
