To qualify this post I feel it necessary to reveal some of my credentials. I have a degree in computer science. The primary focus of the degree is programming. I have designed written and implemented hundreds of functional programs in my career. I co-founded one of the early “cloud computing” companies and eventually sold it.

My now more agrarian life style allows me the liberty to spend time doing things like observing, associating my thoughts and just plain being a pain in the worlds backside. Now to the reason I am revealing this to you the reader.

A story caught my eye a few days back that made me say “No Kidding, I could have told you that. “. As a matter of fact, I have been warning of this for years. The title went something like GOOGLE COULD CHOSE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

If you notice, I do not have a link to a “twitter” account or an “F-Book” account on here either. Reason being, I do not use them. They are plain evil. I do not use google and I try to search on the TOR network as often as possible. No, I do not have a Mel Gibson style tin foil hat. Well not that I am wearing right now.

Now to the red meat. Think for a minute what you could do with unlimited funding, real time socio-anthropological trends and data that express behavioral patterns and thought processes from hundreds of millions of people.

Boiled down; you would know what people are thinking while they think it. You know how they react to information. You know what is “popular” or trending in society. You know not only how a person thinks, but how society is behaving and thinking in real time.

Imagine a wall in a war room of google or f-book (NSA,CIA,FBI,DoD, etc.) that is one large projection of these events in real time. The events are represented as spheres in a three dimensional chart (cube). Each sphere (keeping it simple here) represents say maybe a candidate as they relate to an age demographic and a social issue. The location in the chart represents ethnic and political leanings.

The spheres continue to move around as the enormous volumes of data that are being collected and analyzed in real time form a moving representation of a nation’s thoughts and behavior. It could be too for that matter, a single person’s digital footprint over time is what is being demonstrated. Say travel patterns, searches, dialogues, social interactions, frequent people that call or stop by or you go to meet, sleeping habits, eating habits, etc.

Now imagine if you as the all-powerful one were able to interject a digital breeze or a nudge into the equation. A nudge into the “ether” that is not of organic occurrence but purely digital and fabricated with no foundational existence other than that which you want it to be. You get to play GOD and create a reality right in front of the world without their even noticing it.

Remember, the representative equations are supposed to be a real time organic illustration of human social trends and thought. What happens when the man behind the curtain starts influencing the trend because they can? Simply stated, they become the trend.

This is easily done, with your endless resource and real time interpretation you start promoting news stories or ideas that are more sympathetic to one issue or candidate. Maybe you “point” people to a place you think they should look for the answer. Then you just sit back and see what effect your nudge has. Maybe you even suggest that a favorite candidate take a position on a certain issue that is represented by the trends. The ability to manipulate thought, ideas and social patterns in real time is at hand. We have eliminated the natural process of interaction and discussion amongst our fellow humans in large part.

Why stop at politics? Why not look at policing, warfare, sexuality, parenting, education, health, wealth and on and on. Controlling the masses has always been one of man’s greatest achievements. It has to be an achievement because it has been occurring since the first clan around the fire. The difference now is that they (those with the money and power) are also controlling the mind with greater ease and speed than ever before. They are not only controlling but shaping it on a large scale and in real time.

Don’t think for a minute that anything you do or see commercially of even in the development of your physical environment is not designed to make you react or act in a certain way. Your illusion of freedom is just that, an illusion. The world around you is changing at speeds never before seen by man. The changes taking place are meant to mold you into a better consumer and world citizen.

I fear not for me, for I am able to see behind the veil. I am sorry to say that I am one that helped usher in the era of big brother. Thirty years of digital industry promulgation. The digital sphere is not as much a tool as it is a weapon. The fulcrum has been set and the world is about to shift.

I fear for those that have never known life without digital technology. They are the same persons that have never seen life without ubiquitous data at the press of a finger.

How can a person be an individual if you allow the collective to determine your next move and tell you what to believe or think? The world most live in is being shaped not by their efforts but by their habits, desires and trends. That overwhelming sense of not being in control is real. The digital man is a lab rat. Your whole world is being shaped by algos, megalomaniacs and the scientists they own.

Of course this does not even begin to touch on topics like constant aerial and geospatial tracking. Behavioral studies of people in social scenarios from CCTV cams in large retailers. Voice pattern recognition and facial expression algos to determine your “emotional” state.

Those little cameras and microphones you walk around with all day on the soothing little device they say is “smart” are so smart that they are learning everything there is to know about you. And they are less concerned about the website you go to than the reason why you went. They are learning your patterns, habits and thoughts to a higher degree than you even have faculty over. You are allowing a machine to guide and shape you. And you are doing it thinking you are somehow better off.

Let me ask you, have you or your children ever hammered a nail? Ever cut a board in two with a hand saw? Could you turn all of your electronic devices off and build a bird house? Try it. I dare you. No peeking, find the plans in the library in a book. Source the lumber by going to the hardware store. Compile you project list with pencil and paper. Build the bird house without a YouTube DIY how to video. Take the challenge and I will post your results if you want to share them. Oh, think you could try and use cash and not a plastic digital card too while buying your supplies?

Could you exist for 24 hours with no electricity or digital assistance? Take the challenge. Set a date months or days forward and declare it the “day with no electricity”. OK, too hard? Try the “day with no digital or media in my life”. Plan a trip outdoors to a park and enjoy the real world for just a day, without the distraction of digital bugs following you and prompting you. Shape your day on your terms and rely on yourself for the ability to enjoy it.

Better get the calculus books back out and start thinking like a machine. Or better yet, turn the digital off for a while every day, while you are awake and try to build a birdhouse.

Like you, I take time to ask myself the tough questions as they arise. Crazy me, I even try and decide where I stand on them. I know, a bit over the top but hey, call me crazy.

I have tried real hard not to talk about or to use the parable of “the lion and the dentist” as a point of discussion on this blog. Simply because like many of you I have seen the whole thing as contrary.

This is not a post on what I think of the dentist or the lion, because I am sure no one really cares what I think about either of them. And I can’t say as I blame you either. No, this post is meant to bring the conversation back around to reality.

I found myself honestly trying to answer the question; Hunt for sport? Hunt for food? Hunt for….. Wait a minute. This whole lion debate is being presented to us as a life issue. We are told that we should feel bad for the lion because a human took its life. OK, I see the argument. So, let’s pause the story at this point and ask a few questions.

Is it the taking of the life of the lion that has you upset? Be honest now.

That’s fine. So to make sure we are framing this conversation in the proper light I want to make sure that it is the taking of the life that has you distraught. OK, so you are upset because a hunter killed a lion. I get it, it seems sad or wrong.

Let’s parallel some other recent events that center on life. Murder for example.

Are you equally incensed over the taking of human life by a human? Honesty, it all begins with self-honesty.

There can be no greater charge of man than to preserve life.

What about the Yazidi and the Nazarenes that are systematically being killed because of race and religious conviction? What about the children being nailed to a cross to die? The Middle East is too far away to worry about it? Doesn’t affect you? Well so is Zimbabwe but, ok.

What about the scores of Baltimore and Chicago’s young that are being slain day in and day out? They are much closer to home.

Do ALL lives matter or just some?

If you are to use the truth and splendor of life to carry the argument of the lion, then there can be no greater distain than for those that reposition a baby in the womb using ultrasound as a weapon in a way that the baby’s BODY PARTS can be ripped from its torso one by one and HARVESTED for PROFIT; all while the child’s heart is beating. I hope for the sake of the soul of this Nation that the murder of a baby carries a greater degree of ire, dishonor and sadness than that of a lion.

lifeIf you have but 24 hours in a day and you feel outrage or anger to the point that you need to HUNT the hunter for shooting a lion, it makes sense to me that a person would use the indignation that consumes them to fight for the preservation of human life before spending valuable time and energy on a lion. At least use a little of the angst for human kind.

Let me just remind you that abortion advocates condone a doctor reaching inside a woman and tearing a live child limb from limb for profit. And they call me crazy and extreme. No, the argument starts and stops with the life of the baby. Period.

There are some universal truths that we cannot change. For instance water is wet and fire is hot. And of course, life is precious and sacred. I stand with life, I stand with the author of that life.

Let us not forsake life for the purpose of self. We are better than this.

I’m going to let it shine

Have you ever “seen”, I mean really seen the light of something in another person? Have you ever seen love, truth, honesty, trust, caring or compassion? (You name it)

Have you seen it to the point that you can say it is a “part” of them? For instance, “that person is really caring”, Or, “she strikes me as a very honest person”.

While we cannot tangibly place our hands on what we “see” in others, we can however see the display of belief and understanding in them. We can see the display of values and principles in their character. Whether we chose to “see” it or not is a different matter entirely.

So, what do others “see” in me? I would put to you that they see those virtues, values and principles that I have “found” through my own searching and personal journey. They may even see voids in places I have yet to truly discover or know.

They see the culmination of those “things” that I have committed to soul along the way. And the “things” I have yet to become.

Let me ask you, have you ever found, really found a value, principle or virtue in such a way that it makes you cry, or when it takes such a strong hold on your soul that it becomes a part of you? Have you witnessed the physical manifestation of a virtue or principle to the point of searching for its essence?

Have you actively and honestly sought out virtues, values and principles for your own edification, either to accept them or reject them?

If we seek in earnest, we will find.

What we believe at the core of our being is an influence upon others, whether we know it or not. It is because our beliefs can be “seen” in us. Even if we do not believe that they can be seen, others can see the lack of principle as well as the foundation of principle in us.

To be a force of positive influence we must be those things we know to be good. In a world divided we must be “seen” as a person of just, fair and honest principle in order to offset the unprincipled. We must be people of virtue. To shape the world, we must shape ourselves.

When we really recognize a virtue or principle that anchors deep within our character and soul it will show through. And that is enough to be the spark of discovery in others eyes. We do not need to preach our moral compass. We need to live it. We need to manifest our belief into reality through our actions and behavior.

Good habits promote good results, bad habits promote bad outcomes. The same is true with that which we commit to our soul. Let us seek light. Let us seek truth. Let us commit to our being the things we know are good. Let us reject the things we know to be bad. Let’s work on us before we work on the rest of the world.

If each of us as individuals shines a light of value, virtue and principle, we can be examples for others. As the Sunday school song declares; “Hide it under a bushel, no – I’m going to let it shine”. Will you join me?

Livers, Labor, Bombs and God

Planned Parenthood

For those that may not know yet, Planned Parenthood has been encouraging abortions so they can sell or as they say “harvest” fetal tissue for money. Let me translate fetal tissue for you. They are crushing the skull of the unborn child in the womb then pulling the now dead baby through the birth canal in a way that they can preserve the organs and limbs. Then they carefully dismember and disembowel the now dead baby and sell the human parts off to “medical” companies for research.

Yeah, women’s health! Who is next, old people?

I have to ask; if you classify an unborn child as a clump of cells and not a human life how is it then that a leatherback turtle egg can get me 20 years in prison if I take one from a nest? After all isn’t it just a clump of cells?

The hypocrisy in the Progressive mandate and mentality is blatant for those willing to look. What is happening with Planned Parenthood should be a flashing red light and siren. But, alas, it seems that the people who did the undercover work to expose the world’s largest human body part shop are to blame for it all.

The mainstream media is not talking about the harvesting or money-making practice of selling human body parts. No they are tearing apart some poor slob of a dentist for shooting a damn lion and excoriating the citizen journalists that did the mainstreams job as investigative reporters. Some world.

Oh yeah, and we are spending 500 million a year of tax payer dollars to facilitate this barbaric practice. You work; the Government takes and then decides what to spend it on. How do you like their choices?

Labor Force

Of our 350 million person population[1], 250 million American citizens are “eligible” to work. Not using Common Core Math that means two-thirds of Americans are able-bodied and ready to work.

Of those 250 million “eligible” workers 8 million are classified as unemployed[2]. Sounds like great ratios to me. Our economy is doing so well that we have a scant 5.8% rate of unemployment as reported by the Federal Government.

If you stopped there in your assumption you would be dead wrong. Why? One simple little number they seem to forget to tell you about.

Let’s talk about the 93m Americans that are not “participating” in the labor force.

That’s right. Of the 250m “work eligible” Americans, 93m of them are not “participating” in the workforce. Just because we have a 5.8% unemployment rate does mean that 242m “eligible” workers are all employed and only 8m need jobs.

It means that 30% of the “eligible workers” in this Nation are not “participating”. Remember though we have an unemployment rate that is only 5.8% when 30% of the “eligible” work force are not even trying to find employ. They have simply given up or the tax payers to supporting them.

The simple math:

250m eligible workers – 93m not participating = 157 million potential American workforce.

Now remove 8m unemployed from the 157m and you end up with 149m employed Americans out of 250 million total worker population.

If you add together the unemployed and the non-participation numbers you have 101 Million people eligible to work that are simply NOT WORKING! A bigger spread than the 5.8% the government reports wouldn’t you say?

Look at this in another way. Of the 350m citizens only 149m of us are working.

Are their 93 million jobs in our economy for the non-participants? If so, then how is it that those 93m unfulfilled jobs are not declared a labor crisis? And how do you explain the 8m that are classified as “unemployed”?

Can companies really be doing so well if they cannot fill 30% of their labor needs? Of course not. The simple fact of the matter is that the jobs are not there and our economy is in the mud.

101m Americans are not working because ……. ?

But don’t worry; the Country is experiencing the greatest recovery of all time. Just ask your President.

The IRAN deal is good, the IRAN deal is bad

Do you really believe an utterance that your elected leaders tell you? Do you believe that just because Brian Williams said it on the NBC nightly news that it is “government truth”? If you believe the propaganda based upon any of the Nightly News or cable outlets, may I respectfully suggest you lend less credibility to them and look just a wee bit deeper on your own?

Simply because Brian Williams and NBC dare broadcast it, therefore it must be true? The same Brian Williams fired in disgrace for fabricating news and then lying about it on air, during the NBC Nightly News? Just because you want to think that there is journalistic integrity in the mainstream media does not make it so.

Yes, he is still employed by NBC by the way.

I did some scratching for you and provided a copy of the so called agreement that your President has crafted. Well, he is actually saying he doesn’t need your approval anyway he is just allowing the process for show. But just in case you would like to read the agreement, included is a copy of the Presidents handy work[3].

If you read nothing else look at paragraph 36 of document.

full-text-of-the-iran-nuclear-deal (click it)

In P36 Iran can claim that any one of the P5+1 nations is “not meeting its commitments” under the deal. That will then set off a 35-day set of meetings and, when the clock runs out; Iran can claim that the issue “has not been resolved to (its) satisfaction.”

If that were to happen, Iran would be released from performing its end of the bargain, thus ending the agreement.

What makes this clause of paramount importance is that Iran can still receive its $150 billion and gain long term contacts with the West — then decide to use this exit strategy to its benefit, making the restrictions placed on it null and void.

And the world’s largest sponsor of international terror organizations can then simply continue along their peaceful and merry way to ICBM’s and exporting little “Mohamed’s” with vests and AK’s to act as, ummmm…. Say it with me…. “Lone Wolves”.

The 21st homeland attack on our troops

The recent terrorist attack on our military brought forth a rush to arms. Not from the Left in this instance but from the Right.

The cry for allowing Uniformed US Military Personnel[4] to carry arms in civilian populace is not a precedent that any citizen should be advocating.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using its military personnel to act as domestic law enforcement personnel. Not allowing them armed in public while in uniform is a certain way of doing so.

Beyond all that though, what happens the first time a walker steps into a military recruitment center with a small button (clacker) and several pounds of C4 and ball bearings attached to her vest? Does the (side arm) weapon help? Ummm….not really. By releasing her thumb the walker explodes and so does the recruitment center and everyone in it. Just saying.

CLOSE THE RETAIL STRIP RECRUITMENT CENTERS.

Place recruitment operations square on federal base. If a recruit cannot get to the base let them be escorted by military personnel. Use modern communication technology to enhance the experience and shorten the distance if you have to.

military base map

Let’s behave like the bad asses that we are. Quit pussy footing around these issues and admit the fact that after 21 attacks – on our soldiers – on our soil – that we ladies and gentlemen are under attack !

NO WAIT – our soldiers are under attack! Does any of this register with anyone?

Get our troops in uniform back on Federal soil and arm the ranking Company level NCO’s and Officers while on base. Get rid of the rent a cop at the front gate. Secure the perimeter. Put yourself on readiness and be ready to blow the living scat out of the next glory seeking little prick that takes cowardly pot shots at our military personnel.

For Christ’s sake man, act like the rock hard, kick ass United States Military we are! Enough of the damn games. Time to lock and load and strap the boots tight and take the fight to these sons of bitches! Put the fear of the United States Military in them and blow the living crap out of their house and home. Let’s make some glass. All The Way!

Now move out !

The Fourth Blood Moon

September the 28th culminates in an event that has such infrequency of occurrence in our universe that it is an amazing thing to witness. That event is the fourth blood moon.

The Blood Moon Prophecy is a theory studied and taught by some Christian ministers, such as John Hagee and Mark Biltz, which states that an ongoing tetrad (a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses—coinciding on Jewish Holidays—with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the end times as described in the Bible in Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12.

I think it is important to add to this that because a man does not know of a prophecy does not mean he may not be living in a prophetic time.

Throughout scripture, prophecy can be witnessed in a chronological time line.

In this time line of events you and I now live past the point of some of the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. We can look back across time and see evidence of the prophecy and fulfillment of the same.

We can also read written prophecy that is yet to occur. Some of which may very well be fulfilling itself today.

When prophecy has manifested in fulfillment there have been men that have lived through that prophetic time. Just because we do not know of prophecy or believe it does not mean that we as men cannot be living in a time of biblical prophecy.

The foretelling of the demise of Nation States was written and occurred through the lineage of scripture. History even bears proof of the same Nation State destructions in our non-theological lineage.

To bear an arrogance of dismissal to prophecy is not reflective of the faith of a Nazarene. NazareneA Christian of faith does not chose parts of the lineage as their own. They do not dismiss that which they do not like or understand to be possible. No, a Christian of faith must believe in the totality of the scripture. As it is the word of God.

And today with the economic and genocidal rampage burning through the globe an honest man must reflect upon the performances of the world stage and from it draw his own truth based upon the word of God.

Avoiding and denying the truth does not protect you from it. Refusing to see makes you blind. Hold the light of truth and expose the darkness.

For the great kabuki theater that is placed upon us is as real as the tragedy of the drama itself.
