We were born in the days when the Soviet Union was the Evil Empire, a college degree was the ticket to the middle class, and being born American meant that unlimited opportunity was your birthright. We saw the Soviet empire fall, and realized that we had geared our entire society to prepare for a war that no one had dared fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our college degrees hang on our walls, but though our mental horizons have been expanded, our economic opportunities have not. We were told that success does not matter if you are black or white, male or female, and while the political successes of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and even Sarah Palin seemed to vindicate this philosophy, it does not obviate the fact that opportunity for all still means that most of us are doomed to lives of obscure mediocrity. The dot-com boom and bust, the current depression, the unwinnable wars in Asia, all have convinced us the truth of the anthems of our youth. We are here now, and we are not entertained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Future historians will note that American society peaked in the late 1960s. Culturally, this is a foregone conclusion. We listen to our parents’ music and call it &quot;classic rock,&quot; a canon that can be approached but never surpassed. When we think of art, we think of Warhol and Rothko. Our top-selling cultural products have names like &quot;Star Wars&quot; and &quot;Star Trek&quot;—nostalgic Baby Boomer dreams that one day man will dance amongst the heavenly spheres, whereas in reality we have come crashing down, Icarus-like, in fiery debris. After the sun-bright Baby Boomer generation flared into supernova, it collapsed into a black hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We knew all this long ago. We were called the &quot;slacker&quot; generation. But how could we not be, after Free Love turned to AIDS, we saw Peace commodified and sold for junk bonds, and realized the calls for &quot;revolution&quot; were nothing more than the mewling of infants begging to be indulged? Our coming-of-age movies were &quot;Reality Bites&quot; and &quot;Fight Club.&quot; Our famed irony and sarcasm were not a sign that we value nothing: They were self-defense in a world where nothing is valued. This is the world the Baby Boomers, the so-called flower-children, have left us: A world poisoned by me-firstism, by NIMBYism, by I-got-mine-ism. Our parents&#39; generation has rebutted the hard work and sacrifice of our grandparents with short-term thinking and situational morality justified by Excel spreadsheets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We grow into middle age not surrounded by prosperity and security, but by our doubts and fears. Even as the rich have gotten richer, we have seen our standard of living fall. The middle class is barely reproducing itself, bifurcated into those barely treading water and those on an endless paper chase after useless honors. Our hopes have been dashed, our dreams sold for firewood to keep warm and hold back the wolves for one more night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should end this essay on a note of hope, or at least a call to action. Such would be the traditional coda. However, I cannot find it within me to do so. The myth of Progress is dead; all we have to look for is a mediocre world of diminished expectations. Somewhere along the way, someone might have tricked us into caring or having hope, but we have come to realize that the current &quot;crisis&quot; is not the result of a great country hijacked by a cabal of free-market capitalists: It is, in fact, the new baseline. Things are not going to get better; all we can do is hope they will not get worse. We take from this the great lesson learned by abused children everywhere: It hurt less when we didn&#39;t care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;taken without permission from corporatemofo.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/5320218232771822048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/5320218232771822048?isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/5320218232771822048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/5320218232771822048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2009/01/best-ring-in-new-year-article-every.html' title='Best &#39;Ring in the New Year&#39; Article Every....'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-5323634542931755132</id><published>2008-12-01T15:50:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-01T15:51:18.800-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I told you so.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;h4 id=&quot;s_hd&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1ad_1226630673&quot;&gt;Food Riots, Tax Rebellions By 2012...Trend forecaster, renowned for  being accurate in the past, says&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, is renowned  for his accuracy in predicting fut&lt;span id=&quot;more_249729&quot; style=&quot;display: none;&quot;&gt; &lt;a onclick=&quot;document.getElementById(&#39;more_249729&#39;).style.display=&#39;none&#39;; document.getElementById(&#39;less_249729&#39;).style.display=&#39;inline&#39;; document.getElementById(&#39;desc_249729&#39;).style.display=&#39;inline&#39;;&quot; href=&quot;javascript://&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;desc_249729&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;ure world and economic events, which will send a chill  down your spine considering what he told Fox News this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We&#39;re going to see the end of the retail Christmas....we&#39;re going to see a fundamental shift take place....putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree,&quot; said Celente, adding that the situation would be &quot;worse than the great depression&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;America&#39;s going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for,&quot; said Celente, noting that people&#39;s refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar, told UPI in November last year that the following year would be known as &quot;The Panic of 2008,&quot; adding that &quot;giants (would) tumble to their deaths,&quot; which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The consequence of what we have seen unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by plummeting retail sales figures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a British Ministry of Defence report last year, which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening social order would mean, &quot;The world&#39;s middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest,&quot; and that, &quot;The middle classes could become a revolutionary class.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a separate recent interview, Celente went further on the  subject of revolution in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;There will be a revolution in this country,&quot; he said. &quot;It’s not going to come yet, but it’s going to come down the line and we’re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That’s going to be the big one because people can’t afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You’re going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It’s going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we’re going to see many more.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We’re going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It’s going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. It’s going to come as a shock and with it, there’s going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people’s minds weren’t wrecked on all these modern drugs – over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody’s comprehension.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;When CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask  Gerald Celente.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— CNN Headline News&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A network of 25 experts whose  range of specialties would rival many university faculties.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— The  Economist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Gerald Celente has a knack for getting the zeitgeist right.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— USA Today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;There’s not a better trend forecaster than Gerald  Celente. The man knows what he’s talking about.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;- CNBC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Those who  take their predictions seriously ... consider the Trends Research  Institute.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— The Wall Street Journal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Gerald Celente is always ahead of the curve on trends and uncannily on the mark ... he&#39;s one of the most accurate forecasters around.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mr.  Celente tracks the world’s social, economic and business trends for corporate  clients.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— The New York Times&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mr. Celente is a very intelligent guy.  We are able to learn about trends from an authority.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;— 48 Hours, CBS  News&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Gerald Celente has a solid track record.

Somehow, I find inspiration in the handbasket that this world, and more close to home, America, is going to hell in.  Now, you all know ol’ Hobbsy here LOVES his conspiracy theories.  Most of em are a total crock of shite, of course, but often you can find a good chunk of reality in each one.  A nice, sizeable schmere of a$sf*cking that all of us, the little people, receive on a daily basis.  And  the real fun about it is, you never notice how much you’re getting screwed until you start paying attention to the screwballs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Its all about the distractions, people.  I for one am as guilty as just about anyone.  Slugging down a few beers every night to dull the pain of awareness, the pain in my rear-end that makes me walk as funny as Malach at a cowboy convention.  The pain of awareness coupled with the inability to enact change.  Mmmm, soothing distractions.  Flip on the television, and it’ll all go away.   Watch a bad episode of Heroes, indulge in a mediocre episode of Fringe, laugh at the abuse dished out by Gordon Ramsay.  Dream of fame with the boys of Entourage.  Fantasize about a whole new world by getting Lost, and a whole new enemy, with a whole new secret agenda of a$sf*cking.  Now, granted, some of this content of entertainment is worthwhile, its intelligent, it makes you think.  I support that, in moderation (the distractions, that is).  But, as I’ve heard it somewhere before, the world is the wool pulled over our eyes, the ballgag in our mouths, and the table we’re bent over on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Celebrity seems the best distraction of our days.  Just a bunch of other people who get paid to distract us, and get paid a lot, and the next thing, we’re not obsessed with their work of distraction.  Now their lives become our entertainment.  Hell, they don’t even need to get paid anymore – just pick a random bunch of suckers and put their lives up for public disdain.  Americans go mad for it, read their people, E, PerezHilton.  Drool over the pain and dismay of others, in order to dull the pain of our own.  All the while, we could be dissecting the lives of those people we ‘elected’ to run the world we live in.  Put them under the microscope and really see what the hell they’re up to.  See if they’re worth the money we gave them, pay them.  Find out exactly how many counts of societal rape each one is guilty of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   And like I said, I’m as guilty as the next guy.  I was smart, I was less distracted, I was aware.  And I’ve slipped back.  I get involved in political debates, and find myself feeling stupid.  I don’t know as much as I used to.  I haven’t paid enough attention.  And I’m waking up again.  The pain isn’t nearly as dulled by the beers and wine, the tv and movies.  I’m getting more and more pissed off.  And I think we all need to do it.  Stop being distracted.  And, on top of that, stop being myopic and self-involved.  Dammit, we’ve got a million causes to choose from, and each cause has a million different groups working on it.  And yet nothing gets solved.  I think it’s time to show what a real New World Order can be.  Because, I’ll tell you know, we’re getting raped again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Which brings me to my actual point.  I want to that Just Me for her post, because it woke up a part of me that’s been napping for a bit.  And it reminded me of something I saw, not too long ago.  And I thought, hmm, how convenient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   So, let’s talk about FEMA.  As JustMe covered, FEMA has the power to take control.  COMPLETE control over any domestic area where unrest is occurring.  They’ve got their concentration camps already set up.   They’re ready for us to go nuts.  Hmmm, ready……..OK.  Here’s my little nugget of news for you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://http//www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/09/24/army/index.html&quot;&gt;READ THIS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  This little nugget was sent to me on September 24, 2008, by one of my agents in the field, and I found it an interesting little read.  For the first time since the Civil War, US Troops have been have been deployed within the US.  That’s right, right here in the good ol homeland.  This type of deployment  has been prohibited in the US since the Civil War, and I quote: (the only exceptions being that the National Guard and Coast Guard are exempted, and use of the military on an emergency ad hoc basis is permitted, such as what happened after Hurricane Katrina).  And this may not be temporary.  Please, read the article.  It’s a little eye opening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Then, consider this.  In just the last week or two, our financial systems have gone INSANE.  Just bloody nuts.  People are freaking out everywhere.  Interestingly enough, we aren’t really hearing about this in the news, but people are committing suicide and murder left and right.  And suddenly, a few minor articles pop up about how the financial crisis is, in fact, driving people crazy.  Please, take a quick look at these two articles that came up yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20081013/Financial.Crisis.Violence/?cvqh=itn_econviolence&quot;&gt;On Comcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/10/13/economy.violence.ap/index.html&quot;&gt;On CNN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Those on high are beginning to wonder when this lovely powder keg of a nation is going to go pop.    Now, just ponder, if you will, how convenient it is that a nice little military brigade has been deployed within the US border.  How lucky it is that we have FEMA and its little camps.  And start to think how much of a surprise this financial crisis was.  Was it?  Or, is this just another piece of the puzzle, of the plan.  Is this just another fabulous example of the damnation of the people brought on by those in charge.  Are we getting A$sf*cked again, against our will?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You tell me.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/7080456727291425715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/7080456727291425715?isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/7080456727291425715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/7080456727291425715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2008/10/dulling-pain.html' title='Dulling the Pain....'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-532659573789654982</id><published>2008-10-13T15:06:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T15:48:06.238-06:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Acorn"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Aliens"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Brian Eno"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="October 14 2008"/><title type='text'>Its been awhile.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.cachefly.net/michellemalkin.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/1abortp.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://michellemalkin.cachefly.net/michellemalkin.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/1abortp.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...so, its been a while.  About 10 months.  Sorry, folks.  But I think I can get back in the game.  I&#39;ve got lots of changes to make, and actual work to do, and I&#39;ll do it.  However, I&#39;ve been inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warrenellis.com/&quot;&gt;Warren Ellis, and his site&lt;/a&gt;, which is now a daily addiction for me.   I think I&#39;ll follow suit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, today&#39;s fun facts in.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Conspiracies:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You know I love it when&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.educate-yourself.org/&quot;&gt; Conspiracies Abound!!! &lt;/a&gt; Thanks to&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.third-option.com/WoW/2008/10/on-fence-with-chaos-and-anarchy.html&quot;&gt; JustMe on the Wand of Wonder&lt;/a&gt; for this link.

Get some goddamn perspective people.  A good point was made on this site, which I&#39;ll paraphrase:  Remember the last 30 - 50 - 80 years, people talked about &#39;in the year 2000...&#39;  there&#39;ll be flying cars.  we&#39;ll all be rich.  robots will work for us.  blah blah.  We&#39;ll, we&#39;ve passed the year 2000, and no one has a future date to think of.  There is no &#39;in the year 2025...&#39;   Nothing.  We need a Concept of Future.  I feel that awareness has improved immensely in my time on this planet.  People actually think about our impact on the world, the ecosystem, the future.  But NOT ENOUGH!!!  We need to bring this back.  So, apparently this clock will do that! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the Long Now also has a great links page which I&#39;ll delve into.  And, this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.longnow.org/views/essays/articles/BrianEnoLongNow.php&quot;&gt;fantastic essay by Brian Eno,&lt;/a&gt; which inspired the whole foundation, apparently.  Which also brings us to the Longplayer, an installation that plays music, and will play music for the entire millenia, and never repeat itself.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://longplayer.org/what/survival/future.php&quot;&gt;I know what I&#39;m going to listen to when I get home.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Aliens:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Aliens&lt;/span&gt; are coming to set everything right.  No, really! I&#39;m sitting here all obsessed with December 21, 2012, and all the while I should&#39;ve been paying attention to October 14, 2008.  One Day to Go....What&#39;s that, you ask?  Why, YES:   &lt;a href=&quot;http://10-14-08.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;They&#39;re coming TOMORROW!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Art:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/ever-notice&quot;&gt; art of Noticing&lt;/a&gt; - PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If a photo takes &lt;a href=&quot;http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/gizmodo-imterview-jonathon-keats-115322.php&quot;&gt;100 years to reach exposure&lt;/a&gt;, you&#39;ll never get to see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rrrrthats5rs.com/games/dont-shoot-the-puppy/&quot;&gt;DON&#39;T SHOOT THE PUPPY&lt;/a&gt; - whatever you do, do NOT move!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/lazarstickerz/sets/72157606352496894/&quot;&gt;Attack Boston&lt;/a&gt; - Now, I love graffiti, and I love the use of stickers for graffiti.

It’s what you’re buying.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a way to do it. Small ways in your day to day to not give your dollar to the man. And there are more and more ways opening up every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re like ol’ Hobbsy here, you’re not a big fan of the Big Corporations that run our country. Not a fan of the War for Oil, and the insanely inflated gas prices. Not a fan of the chemical-laden food that is mass produced and sold to you. (Here’s some food for thought. We use manure in our gardens because it helps things grow. Animal feces is good for plants. Try using human feces, and it will kill everything. Ever wonder why that is? Perhaps its because animals like Cows eat natural things like grass and corn, and humans eat McDonalds and Mountain Dew and things that never would exist in nature). The Corporate Run American System is poisoning you and raping you of your hard earned dollars, and you and bending over, dropping trow, and sticking your wallet in your ass so they can easily do both. You are buying into what they’ve told you to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now ol’ Hobbsy here does everything in his power to keep his hard earned dollars in the hands of his peers, rather than forking it all over to big business. Granted, its relatively impossible to do this 100% of the time, but here are some of my methods that help me to sleep at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gas: I do not give my money to Exxon, Mobil, Shell, or any of the major companies. I simply refuse. The less people who give them money, the less they’ll have to charge for their stinking gasoline. Look at the escalated gas prices, especially since that date I refuse to mention. There is no reason for it, except that they can. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Phone Companies: Here’s one of the most amazing scams they’ve come up with in some time. Cell phones are all the rage, and these huge companies can pretty well charge you whatever they want, and rope you in with cool gadgetry. T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&amp;amp;T. Huge corporations who have cornered the market. Or have they. Ever heard of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.workingassets.com/&quot;&gt;Working Assets&lt;/a&gt;? Started in 1985 as a small company with ethics, Working Assets gives a portion of all income to various charities, such as Greenpeace and Doctors Without Borders. I’ve used them for 15 years. When I joined, you even got a pint of Ben and Jerry’s free each month for a year. They used to only do local phone, but now they do cell phones as well, and I’ve got a damn cool gadgety phone just like you! The company has raised over $50 million dollars for charitable organizations, and also promotes social activism. In each bill are a number of petitions that you can elect to add your name to, and various socially conscious books that you can buy if you’re interested. Just add it to the bill. Their website features Act for Change, the social activism portion where many political and social causes are featured so you can be informed and get involved. All this from a phone company. And my bill is no more than anyone else’s. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Organic Food: Folks, there are a few easy points I can make here. One is, take a look at the ingredients of many of the things that you consume. Good god! What is all of that stuff? Its chemicals, kiddies. Things that man created in a lab. Things that really have no place in food. Soda like Coke can rot through the dashboard of your car when spilled, but you drink it down into your sensitive little tummy. Ever wonder why we can use animal manure to fertilize a garden, but human feces will kill all the plants? Because there is NOTHING NATURAL in there. Ever wonder why so many Americans are OBESE? There’s your answer fish bulb! And the almighty THEY only know what sort of mind control chemicals are used in Pop-Tarts, Coke, Lay’s potato chips, et al. Let me tell you, once you start eating more natural foods, you can no longer enjoy these chemical cocktails. You can taste the filth. Now, I know you are going to start whining at me about costs. YES, Organic and natural foods are currently more expensive. WHY? Because they are no longer the main staple, but a niche market. However, the more of us who purchase this sort of product, the cheaper it will get. The reason all that other food is so cheap is because THERE IS NO FOOD IN IT! It is cheaply manufactured chemicals. And don’t complain that you can’t get your favorite products either, because you’ll find a brand of cookies just like Oreo’s that aren’t just crap. Support you local farmers and small mom and pop companies that are making real food. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;WalMart: Department stores make me sick, and WalMart is the king of nausea. I can in no way give this company any of my money. I have been to a WalMart once, only once, in the desperate need for a cheap vacuum. And I regret that to this day. We all know the poor practices of this company, and if you don’t, look it up. My hatred for WalMart started with the censorship of music, as they only sell acceptable cd’s and alter cover art that they do not enjoy. People should never buy music from department stores. Yes, its cheaper, generally, but they only sell certain things, and if everyone shopped at department stores, they’d put real record stores out of business, and you’d lose the ability to find interesting and experimental artists (yes, this argument is out of date with the internet and iTunes, but I still feel it has validity). WalMart is pure evil, and no one should ever shop there.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Folks, there are many other ways that you can refuse to support the Big Corporations, and I welcome your ideas. Share them with me, and with others. Fight back against the Corporate Government, and support your local businesses. Use your dollar as a weapon. Use every weapon you have. This is how we will reach true freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-HvW&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/668885486231604396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/668885486231604396?isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/668885486231604396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/668885486231604396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2007/11/consumer-radicalism.html' title='Consumer Radicalism'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-2177980453684181879</id><published>2007-11-13T08:59:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-11-13T09:01:41.789-06:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dr. Murk"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Third Option Media Network"/><title type='text'>All Hail Dr. Murk, and his commercial break!</title><content type='html'>and I quote:  &quot;The wonder that is Dr. Robert J.

And it should be that way for you as well.  Americans (well, people all over the world, but it seems to be especially Americans) have a sick fascination with the lives of celebrities.  And it saddens me.  Is it just that you all want to live that life and cannot, so you insist on the vicarious?  Are your lives so empty and plain that you get that much of a thrill from that antics of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton?  And do you realize the power you give to such no-talent hacks as Ms. Hilton, who is only a celebrity because you watched her.  There would be no television show for that rich little witch if it were not for your paparazzi eyes obsessing over her every move. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many levels of consumerism.  America is a country of consumers.  And what we have created with this celebrity obsession is a raging appetite to consume the lives of people who, for the most part, have no reason to be in the spotlight.  And we allow big business to bait us and lead us into the easiest way for them to strip us of our finances. They quickly and easily created disposable pop stars, and throw them into the piranha tank that is pop culture.  And you buy into it.  You give them your money, purchasing their useless rags of wasted paper to read about Brad Pitt and Lindsey Lohan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world of music and acting is a twisted blend of Art and Entertainment, and sadly the lines are blurred between the two.  We have allowed this, and this is how they manipulate us.  I am thankful that there is still an artistic integrity existent in Film and Music, that there are people who cherish their crafts and treat them as such, and not just a quick financial raping injected our culture.  I truly enjoy the work of John Malkovich, and I couldn’t care less who he’s sleeping with.  I thought Brad Pitt was fantastic in 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, and Snatch.  And I have NO IDEA what he and Angelina are up to.  NOR DO I WANT TO.  If Brad were pulling a Michael Vick and torturing dogs, then yes, I want to know, as I do not want to support such a monster.  But I need not know who’s bed he visits regularly, as it has NO IMPACT.  Those who know me know that I am a huge music lover.  And I know almost NOTHING about the lives of the musicians who’s work I enjoy.  And I’d like to keep it that way.  I enjoy their work, and I’m happy they create it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, where would a Hobbs von Wackamole post be without the conspiracy?  And here it is.  The Government and the Media work well together, and they know that, because you allow it, they create and control your perception of the world around you.  They have long decided what we find beautiful, and what we don’t.  And they know to do this in order to get at your hard earned dollar.  You’ll buy the clothes they want, inject the botox, have the fat sucked out of you.  It is the perception that they have given you.  And even better than that, it’s much easier to hide the important things that happen in the world, because you allow them to distract you.  They can very easily back-page stories on political malfeasance and war crimes, because OJ Simpson is up to his old tricks again.  And how often, I wonder, do they simply create, as easily as a bad action movie, the stories that are in our front page.  Did OJ really do what he is currently accused of, or is he simply collecting a big government paycheck to act the role and fill the front page.  They know that most American’s wont read anything for more than five minutes, and we’ll never pay attention to the GOP’s avoidance of the minority debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I ask you to do one thing.  STOP AND THINK.  Please, for the love of freedom and reality, start THINKING!!!!  Maybe it will make a difference.  You’ve only got 5 years to do so!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I leave you now, with a quote from true artists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Never mind what they’re selling.  It’s what you’re buying.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truer words rarely spoken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~  HvW</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/4801514071068438057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/4801514071068438057?isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/4801514071068438057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/4801514071068438057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2007/09/lives-of-celebrities.html' title='The Lives of Celebrities….'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-117035017726620017</id><published>2007-02-01T11:12:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T11:16:17.296-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Paranoia is a Beautiful Thing</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photobucket.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting&quot; src=&quot;http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/1170297975397.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/117035017726620017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/117035017726620017?isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/117035017726620017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/117035017726620017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2007/02/paranoia-is-beautiful-thing.html' title='Paranoia is a Beautiful Thing'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/th_1170297975397.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-116883427612973996</id><published>2007-01-14T22:01:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-01-14T22:11:16.166-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Rest in Peace RAW...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thaddeusmatthews.com/uploaded_images/rest-in-peace-717159.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.thaddeusmatthews.com/uploaded_images/rest-in-peace-717159.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....

I do realize it&#39;s been just about a month since I last shared my knowledge with you. As you know, Hobbs here is always on a mission. I&#39;ve infiltrated certain groups i prefer not to name just yet, and have been moving up in the ranks. This has kept my from my dities here, but I have not forgotten them, or you. I love you my children, and I&#39;m here to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I bring you a few tidbits from the universe, as it changes.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I have an occurrence that I&#39;d like you all to confirm. A few nights ago, one of ol Hobbsies associates gave a call on my super spy phone. It was about 11 at night, rather late for a phone call. The agent requested I come right outside, as she needed me to confirm something strange, something about stars moving. So, I joined her and her fellow agent outside. There, they pointed out 2 stars. One at the end of the little dipper, a reddish star that was quite bright. The other, another reddish star, equally as bright, but on its own except for a very dim star about a visible inch away. She explained to me that one a few occasions in the last week or so, she has noticed these stars moving. Thus, we stood and stared. And sure enough, I saw it too. Multiple times. Both stars. Here are some of the details:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;while staring at the star, you see almost a secondary flash of light, a smaller point of red light. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The star seems to move to the left or right, and you can see a light train emanating in front of it like an airplanes headlights.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They also move in an S like pattern, making almost a dollar sign at the end.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They also move in circles.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, needless to say, i found this quite bizarre. I even looked at the very dim star next to the red star just to see if it was because i was staring right at it. Nope. I could still see it move. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, of course, perhaps this is the magnetic poles of the earth shifting, and we&#39;re actually able to see the wobble of our shifting rotation as it gets worse. Or perhaps the sky is false. Please folks, help us determine the answers here. And confirm the observations.!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For further musings one the sky, I have these to share with you:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Watch out above you, because you never know what &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.comcast.net/news/strange/index.jsp?cat=STRANGE&amp;fn=/2007/01/04/554675.html&amp;amp;cvqh=itn_rock&quot;&gt;may fall on you.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Would you trust airline employees if they said they saw a UFO? &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/automotive/columnists/chi-0701010141jan01,0,5874175.column?coll=chi-elections-utl&quot;&gt;The Government doesnt.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And, in case you THINK you&#39;ve seen a ufo or spy plane, our truthful and honest government has provided us with this classification chart.

Democratic Representative Charles Rangel of New York, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, plans to introduce a bill next week that will reinstate the draft. Once someone turns 18, they will have to sign up for the draft. Mandatory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rangel’s comment: “&quot;There&#39;s no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm&#39;s way.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rangel does seem to make a good point, but how sad it is that we’ve come to something like this. Face it, the volunteer military that we have now is made up of far more minorities and lower income families. Higher income and education means less of a likelyhood to join the military. If everyone’s kids were at risk of going to war, I can see at lot less support for any random wars that people like our Idiot in Chief want to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks, we do not live in a Democracy. Sorry, we don’t. What we do live in is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.civiced.org/constdem.html&quot;&gt;Constitutional Democracy.&lt;/a&gt; In a CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY the authority of the majority is limited by legal and institutional means so that the rights of individuals and minorities are respected. Contained in that is this fact: MAJORITY RULE AND MINORITY RIGHTS. Although &quot;the majority rules,&quot; the fundamental rights of individuals in the minority are protected. Protection of certain basic or fundamental rights is the primary goal of government. These rights may be limited to life, liberty, and property, or they may be extended to include such economic and social rights as employment, health care and education. People agree to abide by decisions of the majority, but there are effective protections for the rights of minorities. Protection of minority right s assures the legitimacy of government. A constitutional democracy includes among its highest purposes the protection of freedom of conscience and freedom of expression. These freedoms have value both for the healthy functioning and preservation of constitutional democracy and for the full development of the human personality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What am I getting at here? Well, ol’ Hobbsy here lives in the loverly state of Massachusetts, where somehow this Idiot named Mitt Romney was elected Governor. Now, you may have heard that my lovely state was the first to legalize Gay Marriage, which I support fully. Well, our Idiotic Twit got mighty pissy about that. Then, just a week or two ago, our legislature decided to go into recess to avoid voting on whether or not Gay Marriage should be a ballot question. Oh, the Twit got right pissed about that. Now, he’s asking the state’s highest court to order the anti-gay marriage amendment question onto the ballot, if the legislators don’t vote on it in January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twit feels that “A decision not to vote is a decision to usurp the Constitution, to abandon democracy and substitute a form of what this nation&#39;s founders called tyranny, that is, the imposition of the will of those in power, on the people.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Twit is not realizing is that the legislature isn’t imposing their will upon the people. They are denying other people from imposing their own will on a minority group. As it states above, a persons basic rights will not be denied in a Constitutional Democracy. Somehow, Twit and his cohorts seem to be missing this (not to mention the separation of church and state).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What our legislature did was say ‘we are not going to turn a group of people into a little bubble to be filled in on a form. We are going to respect that these are human beings who do not deserve to be demeaned in such a way.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I for one support them. I leave you with this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;One of the tenets of the Constitution is that you do not put the rights of a minority up for a popularity contest,&quot; said Mark Solomon, campaign director of Mass Equality, a pro-gay marriage group. &quot;It is one of the very principles this country was founded upon.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;WIDTH: 354px; HEIGHT: 310px&quot; height=&quot;335&quot; src=&quot;http://www.comcast.net/data/br/2006/11/19/br-39725.jpg&quot; width=&quot;354&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is not America&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/116406044175908801/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/116406044175908801?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116406044175908801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116406044175908801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2006/11/state-of-our-nation.html' title='The state of our nation...'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-116369328759614461</id><published>2006-11-16T10:07:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-11-16T13:24:53.416-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Who’s paying this guy….</title><content type='html'>…ah, global warming. Pollution. We’ve done some wondrous things with this world, haven’t we? One of the most difficult parts of being a human is being the same species as other humans. This world, our society, has grown to such a degree, every variable becomes possible. And as we sit back on our comfy chairs, all we can do is watch. Opportunity quickly goes the way of the dinosaur as the nice guy really does seem to finish last. And what can you do, dear citizen, but make a choice? Stay good and get bent, or go the route to success: corruption, greed, backstabbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its become a time where caring is actually a painful act of frustration. You can give a damn all you want, but what difference does it make? I sit and watch as our population grows and grows, and the bottleneck of our job market becomes more and more clogged. Education has slipped down the tubes as greed claims the funding for war and dominance. And then I watch as people walk down the street, pull out a gun, and just start shooting. I watch as everyday people just crack. And I see the opportunism everywhere. Drive down a city street, and watch the blatant disregard and lack of respect for others. Watch how many people squeeze through that red light, no regard for the safety of those who have the green. Watch as the thug in his beefed up hatchback slips around everyone because the road is just wide enough to fit, so he can go through that light first and leave the ten other cars properly waiting in line behind him. It may seem like simple recklessness, but its not. It’s the sign of the times, the rule of the all mighty dollar, the dog eat dog kill dog break murder and ravage dog to get the dollar sign bone. Hell, last night, I sat at an intersection. Two cars in front of me, the first one a cop car. As the light turns green, our turn to go, one car slips through the red, right past the cop. The cop does nothing. He starts going through the intersection, while I’m bitching about how he didn’t pull that guy over, and I hear the screech. Their light has been red about 7 seconds, but someone cruising along blows right through it, probably not paying attention. Not caring about anyone or anything but himself, him getting ahead, getting there first, getting it all. SLAM! Right into the damn cop car. Spun the thing around. And all I could do is laugh. I hope their both ok, and I hope that schmuck goes to jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may ask why I’m obsessed with the end of the world, the coming shift, 2012. I’ve grown disgusted with what I see around me. And I’ve grown tired of watching the good people get ground down. And I’m not the first, nor will I be the last, to say these things. 6 Billion people in the world, pumping out their trash, their waste. Taking everything they can get. Consuming without care. Not giving a damn about anything but their own desires. And this is the majority. I often think about if we all joined, us opposers, would it do any good if we all joined up against them? I’d like us to, though I don’t know if it would. There are way more of them than there are of us. And they breed far more frequently than we do. And they consume, and they waste. The don’t recycle. They don’t buy organic. They don’t give a damn about what goes in their bodies as long as it tastes good and feels good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this because I read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/11/16/smog.warming.ap/index.html&quot;&gt;this article about global warming&lt;/a&gt;. It seems a Nobel prize winning scientist, using some scare tactics, has pointed out that if we don’t start curbing our appetites and working on repairing our environment, that we are going to actually need to pollute our environment in order to save ourselves. Fill the atmosphere with a layer of pollution thick enough to keep back the suns harmful life giving rays, to cool the planet. I can’t decide if this guys is getting paid by the pollution causing industries, or if he’s on the level. But, good lord, this is our solution? We’ve fallen so far?

We did it! The impossible has happened: A majority of Americans have soundly and forcefully removed Bush&#39;s party from control of the House of Representatives. And, sometime today perhaps, we may learn that the same miracle has happened in the Senate. Whatever the outcome, the American people have made two things crystal clear: End this war, and stop Mr. Bush from doing any more damage to this country we love. That is what this election was about. Nothing else. Just that. And it&#39;s a message that has sent shock waves throughout Washington -- and a note of hope around this troubled world. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the real work begins. Unless we stay on top of these Democrats to do the right thing, they will do what they&#39;ve always done: Screw it up. Big Time. They helped Bush start this war, and now they should make amends. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But let&#39;s take a day to rejoice and revel in a rare victory for our side -- the side that doesn&#39;t believe in unprovoked invasions of other countries. This is your day, my friends. You have worked hard for it. I can&#39;t tell you how proud I am to count all of you as part of the greater American mainstream we now occupy. Thank you for all the time you gave this week to get out the vote. Some of you have been at this since the large demonstrations of February 2003 when we tried to stop the war before it started. Only 10-20% of the country agreed with us at that time. Remember how lonely that was? Some people were even booed! Now, 60% of the country agrees with our position. They are us and we are them. What a nice, strange, hopeful feeling. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A woman, for the first time in our history, will be Speaker of the House. The attempt to ban all abortion in the conservative state of South Dakota was defeated. Laws to raise the minimum wage were passed. Democrats were elected to fill Tom DeLay&#39;s and Mark Foley&#39;s seats. Detroit&#39;s John Conyers, Jr. is going to be the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. The Democratic governor of Michigan beat the CEO from Amway. The little township next to where I live in Michigan voted Democratic for the first time since... ever. And on and on and on. The good news will continue throughout today. Let&#39;s enjoy it. Savor it. And use it to get Congress to finally listen to the majority. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to do one thing today, send an email or a letter to both of your senators and your member of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Congress&lt;/a&gt; and tell them, in no uncertain terms, what this election means: End the war -- and don&#39;t let George W. Bush get away with any more of his bright ideas. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations, again! Now let&#39;s go find a spine for the Dems to do the job we&#39;ve sent them there to do. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours in victory (for once!), &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael Moore&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:mmflint@aol.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;mmflint@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michaelmoore.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.michaelmoore.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/116299659417255134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/116299659417255134?isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116299659417255134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116299659417255134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2006/11/message-from-michael-moore.html' title='a Message from Michael Moore...'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-116248608857430984</id><published>2006-11-02T10:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-11-02T10:48:08.600-06:00</updated><title type='text'>John Kerry is a tool of the Global Conspiracy.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tuckborough.net/images/treebeard.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 154px; CURSOR: hand&quot; height=&quot;131&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.tuckborough.net/images/treebeard.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;…isn’t it obvious, folks? The Republicans are pooping their silk panties at the fact that the Democrats, for once, are more popular and may just take control! So, they are rolling out all the tricks they can in order to fight this. The newest trick is their ‘democrat’ double-agent puppet, John Kerry. They used him once before, to ensure that our idiot-in-chief remained in charge. Well, they’ve rolled him out again to make the democrats look bad. &lt;a href=&quot;http://media.mnginteractive.com/media/paper101/kerry03.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px&quot; height=&quot;369&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://media.mnginteractive.com/media/paper101/kerry03.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This time, he said something that ol’ Hobbs here didn’t think was so bad. However, the American population, thanks to they hyper-sensitive politically correct out there, have become a bunch of diaper wearing wusses. It’s the state of the nation today that the poor and uneducated make up a majority of the army, as the Global Conspiracy has kept other opportunity out of their hands. So Kerry made some quip that college students better work hard so they don’t end up in Bush’s army. What’s wrong with that? It seems true to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s pretty transparent, however, what is really happening here. Kerry, a lauded democrat who strongly resembles an Ent, says something to insult the PC masses. This makes the democrats look bad, and gives the republicans more power. &lt;/p&gt;Now, ol’ Hobbs here ain’t no democrat, but I certainly ain’t no republican either. We’re trapped in the bipartisan system, for now, so I choose the lesser of two evils. Not to mention, I am strongly against the Global Conspiracy that runs this country and the world. And though I am fully aware that the bipartisan system is a key part of this conspiracy, I know that they don’t have full control. It is our job to fight against the conspirators, and make every effort to expose them. Sure, voting is probably futile as the Diebold machines are controlled by the conspiracy and leave no paper trail, I still feel it is worth all of our times to make our voices heard in every way. At least, until we put into power &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.third-option.com&quot;&gt;the Third Option!&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/116248608857430984/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/116248608857430984?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116248608857430984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116248608857430984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-kerry-is-tool-of-global.html' title='John Kerry is a tool of the Global Conspiracy.....'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-116241682600058335</id><published>2006-11-01T15:27:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-11-01T15:33:46.043-06:00</updated><title type='text'>This Just in:  Leo Zagami</title><content type='html'>By Greg Szymanski&lt;br /&gt;ArcticBeacon.com&lt;br /&gt;10-25-6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leo Zagami, successor to high-level Italian Illuminati figure and&lt;br /&gt;former Reagan unofficial Vatican advisor, Licio Gelli, switches sides&lt;br /&gt;from evil to good and is warning Americans about coming fascism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very rarely does a high-level Illuminati 33 degree Freemason come&lt;br /&gt;forward with inside information, damaging to the Vatican-controlled and&lt;br /&gt;Jesuit-led New World Order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Leo Zagami, a Sicilian aristocrat and former high-member of the&lt;br /&gt;Monte Carlo P2 Lodge, is doing just that, coming forward for the simple&lt;br /&gt;reason he could no longer work under the forces of evil who are killing&lt;br /&gt;millions around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following message from Zagami, who just left the clutches of the&lt;br /&gt;evil Illuminati in June, is printed to show just how high-up in the&lt;br /&gt;Illuminati pecking order his black star had risen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also printed to protect Zagami&#39;s life as he was already arrested,&lt;br /&gt;beaten and tortured twice since going public with a web site geared at&lt;br /&gt;enlightening America to the threat the Vatican-led Illuminati poses to&lt;br /&gt;the American people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Zagami&#39;s information comes from the top of the Illuminati&lt;br /&gt;secret files and correspondence since he was even considered in his&lt;br /&gt;home country of Italy to be the P2 Masonic successor to the powerful&lt;br /&gt;Licio Gelli, who was being slowly moved out of Illuminati active duty&lt;br /&gt;because of his age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zagami only weeks ago went public with his English language web site&lt;br /&gt;and last week made his first public appearance on American radio,&lt;br /&gt;appearing on Greg Szymanski&#39;s radio show, The Investigative Journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zagami is scheduled to make a second appearance next week, as his top&lt;br /&gt;level information has helped to connect the dots between the Vatican,&lt;br /&gt;the Jesuits, Freemasonry and their control over the U.S government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is his most recent words and it is easy to see why the higher-ups&lt;br /&gt;in the Illuminati are listening to his every word and watching his&lt;br /&gt;every move very closely:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, my dear friend, I was not your ordinary Freemason but a&lt;br /&gt;Senior P2 Illuminati in charge of many hidden operations and the&lt;br /&gt;supposed successor of illustrious Bro. Licio Gelli. We have to be very&lt;br /&gt;careful and then we can free Rome, Sicily and the rest of the world&lt;br /&gt;from all this evil Mind Control satanic network of perverts and black&lt;br /&gt;magicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States was founded by Freemasons who had a dream of&lt;br /&gt;independence, freedom, and truth, so lets see if we can bring them to&lt;br /&gt;realize their actual slavery from the evil Illuminati Jesuit game and&lt;br /&gt;change their path towards God not Satanism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Sebott and others are working against honest Freemasons all over&lt;br /&gt;the world so lets do it before is to late and I&#39;m sure we can save a&lt;br /&gt;few souls. The deal between the Jesuit and the Freemasons of the Grande&lt;br /&gt;Oriente d&#39;Italia (that include P2) was madeofficially in the Parioli&lt;br /&gt;district of Rome at &quot;La Casa del dialogo&quot; in 1975 with Padre Caprile&lt;br /&gt;and the Italian Grand Master. Present to this event most P2 members and&lt;br /&gt;400 High degree Masons. Brother Maurizio Costanzo known pervert and&lt;br /&gt;important manipulator of the Illuminati was there. Costanzo is now in&lt;br /&gt;charge of Berlusconi&#39;s P2 TV brainwashing programs for the new&lt;br /&gt;generations of Italian chickens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife recently had a dream last May and after that nothing was the&lt;br /&gt;same for me (dreams are very important for Sufi&#39;s) God told her that&lt;br /&gt;Giorgio Hugo Balestrieri was working with the Anti-Christ himself and I&lt;br /&gt;had to stop being a GLADIO P2 Illuminati puppet, because this people&lt;br /&gt;will never change even if I took control of the Order and tried to make&lt;br /&gt;them understand the true work of the God and the real Illuminati...you&lt;br /&gt;will discover I&#39;m a big idealist and I really am trying to save the&lt;br /&gt;souls of people over and over again...that&#39;s what a genuine man of God&lt;br /&gt;does to a fellow Brother in need even at the highest levels of the&lt;br /&gt;corrupted Empire of Satan every soul counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let&#39;s unveil the truth and help humanity being less hypocritical.&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s just tell them we are who the real Puppet Masters are in detail&lt;br /&gt;and how it works by fighting the Legion of Satan head on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody in the Italian Masonic circles knows I was the supposed&lt;br /&gt;successor of Gelli and the right hand of Ezio Giunchiglia for a long&lt;br /&gt;time in the Monte Carlo Lodge and the Universal Unity. So this&lt;br /&gt;revelation will be not big news for most High Degree Masons in Italy&lt;br /&gt;and making it public is no problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also worked with Ezio on the new (Scottish) Rite and we followed&lt;br /&gt;after the 33rd&lt;br /&gt;Degree. Brother Ezio use to cal it the Rinnovato Rito Scozzese (5 extra&lt;br /&gt;degrees made to manipulate the Monte Carlo elite even further) and this&lt;br /&gt;was made within the inner circle of the Ordo Illuminatorum Universalis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was responsible for the revision of the 38th&lt;br /&gt;degree called Knight of St. John of the Apocalypse and what is known as&lt;br /&gt;the Supreme Council of Transformation, leading to the knowledge of the&lt;br /&gt;true Invisible Masters of the 39th degree and last degree of the Monte&lt;br /&gt;Carlo illuminati system known as THE INVISIBLE MASTERS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These invisible Masters were chosen only in the high level religious&lt;br /&gt;and aristocratic circles and contact with them was forbidden bellow the&lt;br /&gt;38 degree. Why? Because there were real Illuminati and genuine Masters&lt;br /&gt;chosen by the dark Illuminati to keep their pyramid credible in the&lt;br /&gt;light of suspicions, as a nice front for the show. But also many fake&lt;br /&gt;and evil ones like the Jesuits or Archbishop Paul Marcinkus that were&lt;br /&gt;the real driving force of the Monte Carlo Lodge and GLADIO...the good&lt;br /&gt;side of the INVISIBLE MASTERS were not even aware of their membership&lt;br /&gt;in such Lodge and all this evil show for a long time until I arrived&lt;br /&gt;and saw what was happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point I decided to punish Satan and his friends for this&lt;br /&gt;terrible sin of deception with the help of God...let&#39;s see if we can&lt;br /&gt;really change things now and bring some light in all this darkness and&lt;br /&gt;ignorance but is definitely a risky affair since the Board of&lt;br /&gt;Directors and the Illuminati. Marcinkus was called by Ezio the keeper&lt;br /&gt;of the Vatican Safe keys...he always use to say &quot;our illustrious&lt;br /&gt;Brother of the safe&quot;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P2 is the Vatican and the Vatican is the real mind of GLADIO and I&#39;m&lt;br /&gt;probably a dead man as my wife is saying in the last few days but I&lt;br /&gt;don&#39;t care and will go on. I tell her this is for the good of humanity&lt;br /&gt;but she says I&#39;m really risking to much this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zagami continued with more details about the higher-levels of&lt;br /&gt;Freemasonry, including more details about the influential Monte Carlo&lt;br /&gt;Lodge:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said 5 extra degrees and not 6 because the &quot;Invisible Masters&quot; were&lt;br /&gt;never really meeting for any ritual work in any Lodge, so no proper&lt;br /&gt;ritual was ever created or devised for them as they were just given&lt;br /&gt;this position by the Supreme Council of Transformation (another great&lt;br /&gt;invention of the Monte Carlo Illuminati) to cover up in reality the&lt;br /&gt;dirty work of the usual &quot;not so Invisible Masters&quot; from the Jesuit&lt;br /&gt;Order and the Zionist Empire...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P2 and GLADIO were very clever in doing this for manipulating the&lt;br /&gt;lower structure of their P2 slaves, playing this never ending&lt;br /&gt;illuminati game of Gelli and Giunchiglia the two Puppet Masters of the&lt;br /&gt;P2 (Worshipful Master and Treasurer).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The so called Supreme Council of Transformation (Apocalypse means&lt;br /&gt;Transformation by the way...) will say or publish for the rest of the&lt;br /&gt;Brethern the following &quot;we have been giving this honorary degree and we&lt;br /&gt;visited personally such and such great and illustrious Brother to&lt;br /&gt;recognize each other as real Illuminati&quot; In reality the situation was&lt;br /&gt;quite different and the only real Invisible Masters I ever saw around&lt;br /&gt;there at top level meetings were all dangerous mafiosi and crooks of&lt;br /&gt;the Vatican, including: Knights of Malta, Jesuits and Opus Dei...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this was obviously not the official version for our Illuminati&lt;br /&gt;followers of the P2 in lower levels, participants of this never ending&lt;br /&gt;sick show of fake Illuminati myths created by Licio Gelli and Ezio&lt;br /&gt;Giunchiglia. At one time they even came up with a false war with each&lt;br /&gt;other to deceive people even more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezio to get the attention off the important business of the Monte Carlo&lt;br /&gt;Lodge under investigation spread the rumor outside P2 that at the end&lt;br /&gt;of the 70&#39;s he had broke a chair in the head of our Worshipful Master&lt;br /&gt;Licio Gelli...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really creative people these Puppet Masters and is actually quite fun&lt;br /&gt;to see all the sheep under believing every bit of it , poor world of&lt;br /&gt;idiots without a God, poor Satanist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elite of the Monte Carlo Lodge members the Board of Directors if&lt;br /&gt;you prefer, meet in a very discreet and secret room given by a very&lt;br /&gt;prestigious Hotel in the center of Monte Carlo, and the entrance is&lt;br /&gt;located and the end of the entrance hall on you left where you can&lt;br /&gt;notice some stairs going up to this particular room. But don&#39;t try&lt;br /&gt;going upstairs because you might get in serious trouble with the&lt;br /&gt;security if you are up for a stunt. This is not a Bohemian Grove&lt;br /&gt;American illuminati theatrical affair for political chickens with a&lt;br /&gt;couple of perverts of the New World Order to eventually blackmail&lt;br /&gt;later. This is always a proper high level meeting of true P2, Don&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;doing business with USA intelligence, Cosa Nostra, Vatican&lt;br /&gt;Jesuits...and more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I warn you in advance for you own safety don&#39;t go in search of the&lt;br /&gt;Holy Grail in Monte Carlo if you want to stay alive, because business&lt;br /&gt;is business for these people and if you interfere with the Mob you&lt;br /&gt;want stay alive as you all know...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All other meetings of the Monte Carlo Lodge structure go under the name&lt;br /&gt;UNIVERSAL UNITY www.universal-unity.net and they are only made in&lt;br /&gt;Monasteries around Italy and France (very handy for a quick confession&lt;br /&gt;with a Jesuit friend of your choice) were the recruiting process starts&lt;br /&gt;...go to the Monastery and join the P2!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last meeting of the Monte Carlo board of Directors I went to was on&lt;br /&gt;the 1st of June 2006 and the last Universal Unity Gathering I went to&lt;br /&gt;the meeting in the Monastery of San Cerbone (near Lucca).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, The Rectified Scottish Rite,&lt;br /&gt;The illuminati Rite of Memphis and Misraim and various other rituals&lt;br /&gt;and Rite&#39;s of Freemasonry under direct P2/Jesuit control are&lt;br /&gt;practiced elsewhere around Italy and France under various Masonic&lt;br /&gt;Obedience (apparently all in war with each other...the usual show) but&lt;br /&gt;that&#39;s all part&lt;br /&gt;of the Masonic Theatre not the real thing that&#39;s called &lt;a href=&quot;www.universal-unity.net&quot;&gt;UNIVERSAL UNITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;and the MONTE CARLO LODGE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more informative articles, go to www.arcticbeacon.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.rense.com/general74/former.htm</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/feeds/116241682600058335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17736978/116241682600058335?isPopup=true' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116241682600058335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17736978/posts/default/116241682600058335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatergood23.blogspot.com/2006/11/this-just-in-leo-zagami.html' title='This Just in:  Leo Zagami'/><author><name>Hobbs von Wackamole</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03757077398282353858</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/hobbsvonwackamole/pics%20for%207%20years%20blog/HobbsvonWackamole.jpg'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17736978.post-116223483545526199</id><published>2006-10-30T13:00:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-10-30T13:00:35.493-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Learn about the Republicans in YOUR state!</title><content type='html'>--AZ-Sen: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2006-04-13/news/feature_full.html&quot;&gt;Jon Kyl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;Br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--AZ-01: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rick_Renzi&amp;printable=yes#Controversies&quot;&gt;Rick Renzi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;Br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--AZ-05: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/1022hayworth1022.html&quot;&gt;J.D.
