Something Out Of Nothing Ain't So Plain To See

Have you heard about the recent controversy over scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson's Christmas tweet? He asked a question about people knowing if there was a man who was born on December, 25th, who by the age of 30, would change the world. Issac Newton. Many Christians were outraged by this comment, saying that it was disrespectful. Tyson said he was just trying to get people to learn about Issac Newton, The fact is, many scientists today do believe in God and science. Others, do not. The question I have is, how can you get something out of nothing?

There is the belief that we were all brought into being by some cosmic explosion billions and billions of years ago. How many billion? No one knows. The Big Bang Theory. Molecules and atoms and gasses and particles all colliding together out of nowhere. Why? How? Where did these molecules and atoms come from? Who made this couch I am sitting on? Some manufacturer. I can prove it. Someone designed it. We have no problem in knowing those things, but who made us? The Big Bang? This cosmic dust that existed out of nowhere, formed all of the intricacies of the human body? With our breathing, supplying oxygen to our blood, our muscles, nerves, organs, not to mention our eyes and brains all working together simultaneously, just happened out of thin air. Well then there is evolution. We evolved from a piece of slime, that turned into a fish, then a lizard, then a horse, then a monkey, then man. Now, I do believe in evolution as far as species changing. Man is changing every day. Over time, we have changed physically. The first humans lived in nature and didn't have toothbrushes, nail clippers, forks and knives, or razors and had to live in the elements. If I didn't shave or clip my toenails for 6 months, the scientists would think that they had found sasquatch. 

Science is still looking for the "missing link", between apes and man. They won't find one, because they are two separate species. We may look different than we did at the beginning, but we are still two different species. Close yes, but different. Monkeys are not turning into people these days, although there are some funky looking people walking around. There is too much order in the universe, for it to have just started up out of nowhere. Have you ever thought about the moon and it's gravitational pull on the earth? If it wasn't for the moon, the earth would be a mess. How about the earth's magnetic field? If it wasn't there, the solar flares from the sun would fry us. But this too came from the Big Bang by chance right? Oh boy, did we get lucky or what? When people say that religion is a nice story, that the Bible is just that, a story book, what proof do they have? There is proof to the Bible. These people existed. Jesus existed. It is real history. The Big Bang Theory is the real fairy tale. It's a made up story, with made up proof. It's not the Big Bang Fact. We have a history. Where does the universe end? Why is it there? What are all of those stars and planets and galaxies? Some things we just aren't made to know. What I do know, is that it didn't just come out of nowhere. So, I ask you again, how do you get something out of nothing?

The new Martian Dollar?

Have you seen the news lately? Supposedly, our government has cut back funding for Nasa and the space program. Is this true? Probably not. There are secret projects going on, that we could only dream about. Who knows where our space program has taken us too. Some say, we have colonies and out post stations on the moon. One guy wants to one day start a colony on mars. His name is Elon Musk. He is the founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, which makes electric cars. He also was the creator of PayPal, and other companies, which he sold for billions of dollars. Is he wasting his money with these projects? And, more importantly, will he be allowed to carry them through?

Look up some of these electric cars that Tesla Motors is designing. They look super cool and can out perform most gas powered cars. Goodbye high gas prices? Nope. The problem is, the powers that be wont let this happen. What about all of the oil? What about all of the oil lines and drilling? It's what runs the world. Have you ever heard of a guy by the name of Tom Ogle? He was the guy that got 100 mpg in 1978 from his Ford Galaxie by removing the carburator. Another guy designed a carburator, that got 200 mpg. One ended up being found mysteriously dead and the other went missing, never to be found. Why? Because if these inventions were used, we wouldn't have to pay these high gas prices and fill our tanks all the time. How long have cars been around now? We have all of this technology in the world today, yet we can only improve the mpg in cars by a couple miles in the lsst how many years. Yeah right.

And what about being able to go to mars? Will Elon Musk and SpaceX, be able to pull this off?  The French have a program in the works called Mars One, in which they will send astronauts on a one way mission to Mars, to try to inhabit and colonize the planet. Who are they going to brainwash into taking that trip? Yeah, go to mars, you'll love it there...you won't want to come back....naaah. There has to be some reason that this Elon Musk is taking this to task. To make more money? He's already a billionaire. Does he want to get off the planet, before some catastrophe, or nuclear war happens? Who knows. One day, when man does make it to mars, if we haven't already, we'll know one thing for sure. There will have to be a martian bank, to hold all of the new martian money that the powers that be will be rocket laundering back and forth through space.

Coffee and Donuts: Your brain says yes!

What would you choose as your last meal, if you were next up for the electric chair? I'll tell you what I would choose. A cup of coffee and a white frosted creme stick. That's right! You can have the steak, or lobster, or whatever most people would say they would enjoy. No two things on earth go together better than coffee and donuts. The two words are synonymous with one another. I am not a serious coffee drinker, but when you have a cup of coffee with a donut, it seems that everything is right with the world. Dunkin Donuts for example used to be all about the donuts. Not anymore. Now, they are known more for their coffee. The coffee sells more than the donuts. The question is, who would go into Dunkin just to get a cup of coffee without a donut? Not me. That would be impossible. Why? Our brains are telling us that we need the two together. It may just be a scientific fact! I have found the proof! Read it for yourself. I'm going to read it again, while I have another donut.

A Caveman Parent in 2014

Parenthood in 2014 is a much more complicated situation then it was when when I was a young child in the late 1970's and early 80's. Things were much simpler then, as my parents would say it was for their parents when they were growing up. Today, we have to worry about every minute detail of our children's lives. Children's lives are fragile, yet they are much more resilient than we give them credit for. Every time my son, or niece, or nephew falls down and bumps his, or her head, I'm ready to freak out. I shouldn't though, as bumps and bruises are going to happen and I want my little boy to be tough. Once, my grandparents were babysitting me when I was 3, or 4 years old, and I was running through my parent's dining room and came around the corner and gashed my head open on the corner of the hutch! I was bleeding like a sieve and my grandfather doctored up some sort of butterfly bandage to put on my head. I was fine and there was no need for panic. Society and the so called "experts" today try to brainwash us into thinking differently.

Walk down the isles of Baby's R Us and you'll see all kinds of ridiculous items. They have wipe warmers, so that the baby wipes aren't too cold when you go to wipe your baby's butt. Come on! My mother used a fine grade sandpaper to wipe my butt. And she probably kept it in the cold basement too! But, people are buying them. Yeah, I admit, my wife and I thought about it. We want our children to be comfortable today at all costs. I came home from work one day and my wife had the thermostat set on 78 degrees, because she said it felt cold for the baby. Here goes a $1,000 gas bill this month. Once, I came home from work and told my wife to get her coat on. She asked if I was taking her out to dinner. I said no, I'm turning the furnace down!

Nowadays, children are supposed to wear bike helmets. I never did. We never got any sort of brain damage from crashing our bikes. It's getting out of hand when you see an adult with a bike helmet and a fanny pack huffing and puffing down the street. But, when my child starts riding a bike.....he'll probably be wearing a helmet. Parents today are "babying" their children in the wrong areas. How we discipline our children today is an example. My parents spanked my sister and I. I will spank my child. It's our choice. I believe in spare the rod and spoil the child. I want my child to be disciplined. Will it be hard for us? Of course, but we'll be explaining the whys to him with love. Some parents don't believe in spanking, yet believe in letting their kids "cry it out" at night. Coincidentally, they are the same ones buying the wipe warmers for their kids. I feel differently. When they are crying at night and wake up scared is when they need to be babied. Some so called experts say holding your child too much will spoil them. How do you spoil a baby? On the other hand, these same so called experts claim that prehistoric cavemen held their children whenever the child needed comfort, which resulted in them growing up happy and healthy. They would breastfeed their children for an extended time, which would give them a stronger immune system, which they needed in their harsh environment. Maybe we need to go back to that idea. Children today have to grow up so fast in this digital age. Preschool starts earlier, kindergarten is now a full day, instead of 1/2 days like when I was in school. Kids today don't know what a fight is. They have to worry about cyber bullies. It will only get worse.

I will try to instill all of the old fashioned ideas and customs into my child, he'll need them in today's world. However, whenever he wants to be held, I'm going to hold him. If he cries for me, I'm going to get him. I won't let one minute go by, where I'm not thankful to be holding him in my arms. Every moment is precious. They grow so fast. I know that soon enough, he will be up and dressed and walking out the door, not wanting a hug and I'll be left wondering where the time went. I hope these other parents realize these things, when they hear their children screaming for them at night. Maybe I'm wrong. Call me a caveman parent in 2014.

The Devitalization of Revitalization

What? Let me explain. Ok, so the title leaves you wondering about the subject of this article. Devitalizing what kind of revitalization? My neighborhood, maybe your neighborhood, the neighborhoods of most, but not all inner cities. In order to revitalize something, it first has to be devitalized. How do we do this to some of our finest cities? Scenario #1- Imagine a great inner city neighborhood, where crime is not permitted to flourish, the local school system is fantastic and the city is well maintained and roadways are well paved. Sounds like suburbia right? Well, who would want to sell a beautiful, well built home with a paid off mortgage and move out to the newly constructed, very expensive, up to your neck mortgage payment, in a newly developed neighborhood in suburbia, if they were living in utopia? I know I wouldn't.

Scenario #2- Your city used to be the city in scenario #1. Now, it has become a city of crime, a city with the worst school system in the county, litter is a problem and the roadways are deplorable. Time to get out. Problem is, your lovely well kept and paid off home isn't worth what it used to be. Deflation due to devitalization has struck.

Scenario #3- Lending institutions (aka, big banks and insurance companies), construction companies, realtors, investors and so forth could and would not lend, build, sell, invest, or insure these newly constructed homes, if there were no buyers. That is where devitalization comes in. They have to have customers. Not everyone can afford these new homes in suburbia. But, if you have say a $70,000 paid off home as a down payment, you could afford one if you sell to someone who could afford yours. So, first we devitalize and give people a reason to move(and buy), making a lot of money on devitalization, then we make more money on revitalization. Tearing down old neighborhoods and revitalizing them. Buy up property for pennies on the dollar, attracting businesses with cheap land(which was worth something at one time), that investors that have no ties to the city bought at an inflated price, but now may be worth more due to revitalization and presto, you have devitalization of revitalization. Cause and effect, yin and yang. What went up, must come down. History repeats itself and money makes the world go round. If you find any truth to this article, leave a comment.

The Unreality of Reality T.V. / Take 2

Ok, Just when I thought I've seen it all, I'm wrong again. I'm talking about "Fat Guys in the Woods". This show has fat guys in the woods who have to find something to eat on their own. What a novel idea. If that's not enough to make you want to lose weight, how about fat guys who work on cars? First, they feed us America's Biggest Loser, where obese people try to lose weight, then they want us to think it's cool to be obese. Hey, I have an idea for a new show! Rescue Producer. This show rescues us all from all of the other rescue shows on television. They rescue restaurants, rescue bars, rescue hotels and any and all of the other rescue shows that they may come up with. How about a show called RESCUE ME?!? What do you guys and ladies think about that one?

How about a show called Housewives of Convicted Killers on Death Row? It would fit in with all of the other housewives of this or that, that are on T.V. By the way, did you hear that they are going to televise Charlie Manson getting married? Man, I hope the Prez doesn't decide to interrupt the broadcast with a speech! I hope I don't miss that one. Come on HBO, Cinemax(or Skinemax), Showtime, or the Playboy Channel.....here's a show for you guys. Really Obese People Trying to Have Sex in the Woods While Being Rescued from Really Skinny Naked Porn Paparazzi, with Dr. Phil. Oh, what a show! Signing off until next time......

The Black Friday Freak Show

Thanksgiving. The day in which we are supposed to gather together with family and loved ones and give thanks for our abundant blessings. We can sit around and relax and ponder the upcoming Christmas holiday and the birth of Christ. Where along the lines did it turn into a sickening freak show? People don't care about taking the day to give thanks and relax. Their worlds are now centered around "Black Friday" deals. They are brainwashed by the news media and corporations into believing they will get the deal of the century, on whatever items they are craving and believing they can't live without. When they get home from the stores, do they feel their life is complete, because they just got that sweater for 40% off of the price that was marked up 200% for the day? What they don't realize is that the stores will have the same prices on most of the items, the next day, week and month. Check the ads sometime and see for yourself. That TV that you just bought for $300 and bragged about on Facebook, because you got the best deal in the universe, will be the same price the very next weekend. Just watch.

And now, stores are opening earlier and earlier, backing it all the way up to Thanksgiving day. Why? Because the maniacs will be out there in the cold, in the tents, waiting in line to get that blue ray player for $29.95. I wouldn't wait in line in the cold with a bunch of lunatics, if you gave me a free TV. Meanwhile, all of the poor employees don't get to enjoy the holiday with their families. They have to be there at the store to provide the hordes with their shopping frenzy. Who is in charge of these decisions? The heads of these companies. All they see is the numbers. All they care about is the cash outs and end of year bonuses they will be getting, all at the expense of the lowly workers, who have to put up with this nonsense. The VPs and CEOs are all at home nestled snug in their beds, with visions of dollar signs dancing in their heads. What will it be in a few years? Black Tuesday September 20th? They keep backing it up earlier and earlier. Who will be the first greedy company to open next?

Our politicians and law makers should put a stop to this insanity. Stores should be closed on all holidays. If you didn't get what you needed before the holiday, then you can get it after. Unfortunately this will never happen. All of the law makers today are on the take. Money runs the world. They will never tell companies not to open on a holiday. They are looking for the kickbacks. The only way to stop the mess, is to boycott these stores. If the day came and no one showed up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Thanksgiving day, they would quit opening at these times. But, that is another impossible situation. God forbid people would enjoy their Thanksgiving dinners and stay home for the evening. No, they can't wait to get out into the cold, like a bunch of wild banshees and wait and push and shove and claw their way through the doors of whatever greedy store they have the need to go to. Remember this as you are running wild in some store this Thanksgiving, or Black Friday. Somewhere in a mansion far, far away, the CEO of the store is laughing all the way to the bank, cause the joke is on you.

Men's Room, Ladies, Both? What?

Recently, some cities have passed ordinances, requiring businesses, as well as public locations, to turn their restrooms into "Transgender", or "Unisex" bathrooms. The Transgender community is claiming that their rights are being infringed upon and that they should have the right to use whatever restroom makes them feel the most comfortable. What?!? And our legislators and governing bodies are actually making this happen.What about the rights of the people that want a "men's", or "women's" restroom? I don't want to wonder who is in the next stall, when I go into a restroom. What is this, some kind of free for all? Where are the laws on the books covering these topics and who wrote them?

And where do children come into these situations? What about their rights? What about their safety and comfort? So now I have to let my child go into a restroom, with anyone who feels like walking in whichever restroom in which they feel "the most comfortable"??? So, the creeps and gutter snipes and perverts can just hang out in any restroom they want? Who will be monitoring this? Are these city councils and governing bodies thinking about these things, or are they more worried about what the public perception is? They are terrified of some bogus lawsuits claiming discrimination, for whatever, whoever can come up with. Lets go through a few scenarios.

Scenario #1- A transgender man, who was born a woman, yet identifies as a man, has to choose a restroom. Is he dressed as a man and portrays to be a man? Then he should use the men's room. Right? Especially if he has undergone an operation and now has male anatomy.

Scenario #2- A transgender woman, who was born a man and has male anatomy, or has undergone an operation and chopped the male parts off has to choose a restroom. If she is dressed as a woman and portrays as a woman and especially has woman parts now, she should choose the woman's restroom.

Scenario #2 can become tricky if the transgender woman still has male parts. But why, if she portrays herself as a woman and dresses as a woman, choose the men's room? She would be ran out! With these law makers, we could have perverts dressing up and using any restroom they want without consequence. What a fiasco! The whole gender neutral thing is getting out of hand. Choose one side, or the other. Be a man, or a woman. If you are both, then pick a side and stick with it. That way, all you have to worry about, is who is bombing out and stinking up whichever bathroom you chose to be in the next time you have to use a public restroom.

Cell Phones will control the world!

What would we do without our cell phones? We rely on them to call people, text people, Facebook, face time, tweet, Instagram and whatever else people do with their phones. What would happen if you were out somewhere and couldn't get in touch with someone. I'd bet about 75% of the population would have a nervous breakdown. Now, these cell phones can do anything. You can ask Google anything you want and the thing will give you an answer. Hey Google....what is the weather like today? How deep is the ocean? How high is up? Should I breathe? And now, with Domino's Pizza, you can tell your phone to order you a pizza and it will get one delivered to your door? Will it leave the delivery boy a tip too? What's next? Will our cell phones sleep for us? Eat for us? Think for us? And how many "G" does your phone have? How about the "LTE" part? Do they have LTEF now too? If you can see where you are at all times, who can see you at all times?

Why do we have all of this fabulous technology? Is it all fun and games? Can it be used against us? Sure. Each phone is a tracking device. If someone wants to find you, they'd have no problem. What we say, text, browse and even where we are and go can be monitored at any and all times. Think about that, the next time you use your phone. They can monitor what I am writing right now. How far will all of this technology go? Will it eventually become a negative part of our lives? Has it already? Go to a restaurant sometime and watch whole families pull out their phones and stare and become mesmerized by their phones. All the while, not saying two words to each other. They have to see what so and so is doing, or where they are. And, more importantly, they have to let everyone know where they are and what they are doing. Guess what? Who cares? I don't care if someone just got the Caesar salad at the Olive Garden. I don't care if they just brushed their teeth with some new toothpaste. Instead of a smart phone, they should be called brag phones.

 Our social and personal skills are eroding, due to this technology. Will communicating through technology be our only form of communication one day? I hope not, but it is headed in that direction. Kids today know texting as the norm and some will probably think it is weird to simply call someone and carry on a conversation. Technology is taking over our lives. Is it controlling you? How smart is your "Smart Phone"? Have they become smarter than us? Will they become smart enough to one day control the world?

The Wussifying of today's children!

Each morning on my way to work, I often get caught waiting for a school bus at a bus stop. I've been noticing an interesting trend with the parents of the children. They are sitting in cars at the end of the driveways, streets, or parking lots with their children waiting inside, for the bus to pull up. What!?! My parents never drove me down to the bus stop and let me wait inside the warm car. I had to walk down the street and wait in the cold, rain, snow, whatever the weather was. Furthermore, I didn't want to be seen with my mommy, when I was 12 years old. It was an unwritten code! If the kids in my school would have seen my mother walking me to the bus door at that age, I would have never lived it down. This practice by these parents is I believe, turning these children into wusses. Make them wait in the cold! Now, I do believe that if there are dangerously cold conditions where frostbite can occur, or if they do not want them waiting by themselves for worries of abductions, then I understand completely. But, waiting in the car at the end of the driveway.....come on! The parents in these cases most certainly are wusses themselves and are only teaching lazy and wussy behavior to their unsuspecting children. How about walking them to the bust stop and getting some exercise, or sitting on the porch and waiting for the kids to get on the bus. That way, they are in plain view, where the parents can watch them getting on the bus safely.

Does this seem harsh? I don't think so. We do have to watch out for the boneheads that forget the laws of the road. I have also seen the bus pull up to the stop with lights flashing and people coming the opposite direction, just keep going. Don't they realize that they are supposed to stop. This also goes for the morons that don't feel it's necessary to pull over and stop when an emergency vehicle is coming down the road. Pull over! They just keep driving right along side the ambulance! They should have their tires shot out! People today don't pay attention when they are driving. They are texting, talking, doing their makeup, brushing their teeth, or chomping down a hamburger. Instead of the police pulling people over for going 5 miles over the limit, these creeps need to be pulled over and fined! They, for sure, are the same people waiting in their cars with their kids with the heat blowing, when it's only 55 degrees outside, or standing and carrying on a 10 minute conversation with the bus driver, while cars are backing up for a mile down the road.

Ebola: from Africa to your backyard!

Today, they broke into television in Cleveland, Ohio with a warning, for anyone who had been to Cleveland Hopkins Airport, or anyone who had flown on a Frontier Airlines flight from Dallas to Cleveland. One of the nurses, who took care of the since deceased Ebola victim in Dallas, flew in to Cleveland to visit family in Akron. Now wait. How was she allowed to leave the state? Why wasn't she quarantined? How was she allowed to book, yet board a commercial airline flight and fly anywhere? The story sounds too fishy to me. It sounds like a setup. Do they want the virus to spread? From these recent events, it sounds like they do.

Does this girl have a brain to infect? If you just got done treating and taking care of a patient with a deadly disease, why would you want to go and visit family and friends out of state and take a chance of infecting them? And what about her family? If it was one of my family members and they called and said they were coming into town to visit, I would tell them to wait a while. They could visit me next summer or something. No way! Stay away!

How many people did she come into contact with in the Dallas airport, let alone Cleveland? What about her family members? What about the people they came into contact with? It could spread like wildfire in no time. Who is the bonehead running that hospital? Are they on the take? How much was the payoff? The President was on TV talking about how he met with some of the nurses and doctors who have been caring for these patients and he kissed and hugged them, because he trusted the precautions that they took! Yeah right! Do you expect me to believe that one? Hahahahaha!

So, what about a cure? What about a vaccine? They have one, but will they use it? And when? How many will have to die before they do? Is it population control? Is it a money making scam? Are they waiting for people to get sick and die, so some drug company can sell the new medicine and vaccines and the powers that be make billions? Probably. The coming days and weeks will tell the story. By that time, will we be reading it in our own backyards?

What if?

 The media has a new story every day. Are the stories real? Are the bad guys real? Are the good guys real? What are we supposed to believe? And what about the Malaysian plane? One went missing and another one was shot down. That's all we heard about for weeks, on every news network. Today, it's old news, even though one of the planes is still missing along with all of the lost souls aboard both of the planes.

Today, the news story is the Ebola virus. Now, a guy who was infected entered into the United States on a United Airlines flight. First, he stopped in Maryland, then in Texas. Have you ever flown on a commercial airline? I have. Every time, I come down with some sort of cold, or sickness. There is the same air circulated in the plane's cabin. What about all of the people who passed by this guy in the airports, let alone sat by him on the plane? Who knows how many may be infected, all over the country by now. Could have this been prevented? Of course! Is there a vaccine? Of course there is. For those in control of the situation, that is.  Magic Johnson has been walking around for 23 years, with the HIV virus, healthier than ever. Have you ever wondered how that could be possible?

What's next? What if the Ebola virus starts spreading in the states? Then what? How far will they let it go? Now they are saying there is a way of masking the virus, so health officials cannot tell if you are sick or not. Oh great.  Now, a D.C hospital is evaluating two patients who may be showing signs of Ebola. With guys flying around all over the country infecting everyone, it's only a matter of time, that more people start showing signs and symptoms. Is it all just another media diversion? The media is coming out with the stories. Are they true? They have pictures of the guy who they say was flying around infected. Is he real? Does he really exist? He does if there is a reason for him to. Who's face will be used next as an example? It may just be yours.

The fix is in!

So, your team just missed that field goal and lost the game. Wait, they were supposed to win. All of a sudden an all pro QB throws three interceptions in one game. A star basketball player all of a sudden, can't make a shot. Wow, that referee or umpire is making horrible calls today. Coincidence? Nope. Here are a few incidents that may just prove that sometimes, sporting events have been fixed.

1. Superbowl III - Everyone remembers Joe Namath running off the field pointing to the sky. You also probably know how the Baltimore Colts were heavily favored in that game. They ended up turning the ball over 5 times. Bubba Smith, who played for the Colts came out publicly and said the game was set up for the Jets to win. It was fixed to have the AFL, beat the NFL and created the new Super Bowl era. Millions of advertising revenues and TV dollars were on the line. The game created the modern NFL.

2. In 1978 Mobsters connected with the Lucchese Crime Family, Jimmy Burke and Henry Hill organized a point shaving scheme with members of the Boston College basketball team.

3. The 2007 NBA betting scandal. NBA Tim Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison for betting on NBA games, in which he was refereeing.

4. Micheal Jordan- After he won three NBA Championships, he mysteriously retired. He was said to have owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to drug dealers, golfing associates and others in gambling debts. He was said to have been overheard talking to associates, about the lines on games. The problem was, he was the face of the NBA, so he was told to retire and get help, before he could come back.

5. College Football Players admitting to fumbling. Numerous players have admitted to fumbling, from schools like Northwestern in 1999 and a Toledo player admitted to taking thousands from a Detroit area gambler and $500 to fumble in a 2005 bowl game.

6. Dale Earnhart Jr. winning the next race after his father was killed.

7. The New Orleans Saints, winning the Super Bowl, after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans.

These are just a few examples. Gambling on sports is big business. All players don't sign the multi-million dollar contracts. Just watch the ESPN 30 for 30 called Broke. Billions and billions are being wagered as I write this piece. Billions are on the line. There is a lot of money to be made by those in control. Why are there lines? The first thing you hear, when a game is announced is who the favorite is and by how much. Why is that? I wonder what the electric bill is for the Luxor hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Have you ever seen that light on the top of the pyramid, that can be seen from space? Gambling is paying the bill. So, the next time you see that referee calling bogus penalties, remember, maybe, just maybe, one of the teams was "supposed" to win.

Get those needles ready!

Up until last year, I was........the first person that would have told you there was no way I would ever get a flu shot. I saw all of the people, who would get the shot, then come down with flu symptoms a few days later. Or, listen to the paranoia and conspiracies about being poisoned, or implanted with some sort of government tracking device. Well, last year with my wife being pregnant, our doctor advised me to get the shot, along with the T-DAP(tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) shot, to protect our child. I reluctantly got the shots. The evening I got the flu shot, I went home, had a nice dinner, with a few glasses of wine and I was fine. No symptoms. No side effects. No flu. Will the flu shot mess you up? Maybe. I'm fine, for now.

I'll probably get the flu shot again this year. The company that I work for, pays for it and for my family to get it, so it wouldn't cost me anything. Will I be poisoned? I hope not. Will I get some symptoms? I'll drink some more wine and take care of that. Maybe I'll be implanted with some sort of tracking device and "they" will know my every move. "They" can do that already. There are a lot of things out there that can poison me. Our water. The air. The chemicals in the foods we eat. Microwaves. The sun. Hair spray. Soap. Deodorant. Toothpaste. Cell phones. The electromagnetic fields of our televisions. None of these things are good for us. I just named a few. You might say vaccines are on the list too. Maybe. You can drive down the street tomorrow and someone could smash you. Whatever is in the Lord's will, is what is going to happen. We have to give in to medicine at some point. Maybe you won't.

I was blessed enough to grow up with both of my grandfathers. One got the flu shot every year. The other didn't. One, smoked and drank his whole life and got the flu shot every year. He lived to be 90. The other never smoked and never drank. He died at 86, from melanoma cancer. How did he get cancer and my other grandfather didn't? Only the good Lord knows. It wasn't from a flu shot. It could have been from any number of factors. You could die from the flu shot and you could die from the flu. Or, you can get the shot, or not and be fine. What will you do this year?

Have we gone "Back to the Future"?

Remember the Back to the Future movies? When Marty McFly went into the future, in Back to the Future part 2, he went into the year 2015. Wow, 2015! In 1989, when the movie came out, the idea of being in the year 2015 seemed impossible. It seemed like a fantasy world. There were hover boards, flying cars, TV screens with multiple channels hanging on the walls, video conferencing, 3D movies, computer tablets and even wireless video games. The crazy thing is, today in the year 2014, we have most of these things. Where did they get the ideas for these futuristic items way back in 1989? Was this a prediction for the future? Is time travel really possible and someone had knowledge of these things? The truth is, they were developing these technologies back then and we are just seeing them on the market today.


They say, the technologies being developed today, are 10-15 years ahead of what is currently on the store shelves. As new items come out, they need to be marketed and sold, before they can introduce new products to the consumer. As they get sold, they slowly introduce the new products. Meanwhile, they are creating new and more advanced technologies every day. Do they have TVs that project holograms into your living room? Yes, but you cannot buy them yet. You will be able to soon however. The first time I saw Back to the Future 2, I couldn't imagine having these types of things. Some may say we even have the technology, to see into the future and that is where we get these ideas. There was a guy by the name of John Titor, who was posting on a message board on the internet back in the year 2000  and claimed to be from the year 2036. He claimed to be from a parallel universe, just on a different timeline. He talked of WWIII, the end of Olympic games after 2004, hurricanes, another American civil war and other wild tales, only to have the things he said not come true. It was just another hoax.



What if time travel was possible? What if we could go back to the past? I've asked my friends and family what they would think if I went into the past, to a year before I was born and told them I was from the future, here to visit them. I told them I would be able to tell them details that no one else would know, to make them believe me. Some said they would believe me, others said they would think I was crazy. It is an interesting theory. Ask someone you know and see what they say. What is time? It is just another form of measurement. Some say UFOs are just us, coming back in time to visit. They say, if you traveled at light speeds through space, what would seem like minutes, would actually be years on earth and you would return to be the same age, as others would have aged. Sound crazy? Sound impossible? So did flat screen wall mounted TVs, hover boards and computer tablets, way back in 1989.

UFO's? Maybe not

I remember the first time I saw the F-117 Nighthawk, or Stealth Fighter, on T.V. during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. It looked to me, like something from outer space. I was young at the time and was amazed by the technology they said the plane possessed. Invisibility to radar and laser guided bombs, made me think our military had some kind of aircraft from the future. Little did I know, that the concept for the stealth program was devised in the 1960's and the F-117 Nighthawk had its maiden flight on December 1, 1977. 1977??? As I mentioned, in 1991, the plane seemed to be something out of a movie. If, this type of technology was around in the 1960's and 70's, what type of technologies do we possess today? With the planes we have today, the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning, what other secret planes do we have, that we don't know about? I'll bet quite a few. One may be a super-secret weapon called the "Aurora".

The Aurora aircraft is said to have been developed in the mid-1980's, yet there is no substantial evidence that the plane has ever been built, or flown and has been termed a myth. The plane, was rumored to have been developed to replace the outdated SR-71 Blackbird. It is said that the plane can travel at speeds upward of Mach 5(the supersonic SR-71 flew at Mach 1) and there have been sonic booms measured by earthquake survey centers, coming from high altitudes. Weather centers, have even have found unusual contrails showing up on weather radar screens. British pilots have testified to seeing an isosceles triangle shaped craft fueling from a Boeing Stratotanker, accompanied by a pair of F-117 Stealth Fighters, back in the 1990's. What was it that they saw? The U.S. Air Force has denied all claims of the aircraft and have stated that they have done away with any "black projects". Yeah, right. We all know that's not the case.

If, we do have such an aircraft, when will we find out about it? Or, will we ever find out about it? What other top secret aircraft are out there in the skies, flying over our heads every day? Do we need to know about them. No, probably not. I think, that they have planes and technologies that would blow our minds if we saw them today. They say there is a technology called "cloaking", which can make a plane invisible, by altering it's magnetic field. Can you imagine that? Are all of these supposed UFO sightings out there today, actually these top secret aircraft being tested in the skies overhead? They could be. As we now know, the Stealth fighter was developed in the 1960's. It's 2014. What was that strange thing you just saw in the sky? What were those strange lights? Before you start thinking aliens are flying around up there, remember, it could be something like the Aurora plane.

Growing world population? Ebola to the rescue!

The death rate for the Ebola Virus is 90%. There is said to be no cure. Where did the virus come from? Two Americans with the Ebola Virus, have now been brought into the country and are said to be quarantined. Are they? Has anyone come into contact with them? Did they pass the virus to anyone? They say the virus can only be spread through bodily fluids. One sneeze, one cough, could send the virus into the population. Canadian scientists are claiming the virus can become airborne. The coming days will tell the story. Here are a few interesting facts about Ebola you should know.

1. The World Health Organization is saying the current outbreak is spreading faster than we can control it.

2. A study in 2012 proved the virus could be spread between animals in separate cages.

3. The President has given an executive order, stating the government can detain Americans showing signs of the disease.

4. The U.S.  Military has been studying the Ebola Virus as a biological weapon since the 1970's.

5. The CDC owns a patent on a strain of Ebola called "Ebobun"....patent No. CA2741523A1, since 2010.

Why would the CDC want to "own" a strain of Ebola? Could it be for population control? There are claims that the powers that be want to keep the world's populaton at a certain number and not let it rise above that. You may think this is crazy, but think about it. There is only so much to go around. So much land, so much food, so much water. They need to stay in control somehow, and this could be it. And where are all of the world renowned scientists in all of this? Can they find a cure? OF COURSE THEY CAN! But, there is money to be made. Why are the pharmaceutical companies who are working on medications and vaccines for Ebola, suddenly finding their stock prices going through the roof and being bought by all of the rich and powerful leaders of the world. Coincidence? NO WAY! It is a proven fact, that certain drug companies were chosen by the government to make a fortune, just before the H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak of 2010. Where do these diseases come from? Where do they start? Do they just grow out of thin air? Are they man made? Two things are for certain. They can control them and they do have a cure. It depends who you are, whether you will live or die. It's all about money, power and control. Ebola may just be the latest tool to get the job done. What do you think?

Do you believe in ghosts?

I've never seen a ghost. I do however believe that there is a spirit world, something of another realm, which we cannot see. Growing up, there were a few instances, where unexplained things happened and we don't know what they were. A previous owner of my parents home, hung himself in the basement. His name was Mr. Peterson. One night my sister, while sleeping, felt a tap on the shoulder. She says, that she looked at the clock and the time said 3:33. She turned over and saw a ghostly face. She described it as having a purpleish color, round and pudgy with beedie eyes and round glasses. She turned over, then looked back and it was gone. The next morning, when she told us the story, we laughed and thought she was crazy. We told her it was just a dream. We all forgot about it, until one day, my father was talking to our neighbor, who was an elderly lady, who had lived there for years. For the heck of it, he asked her jokingly, what the Mr. Peterson who had lived in our house previously had looked like. She said, that he was a pudgy man, with a round face, glasses and beedie eyes! That's when the hairs on the back of my father's head stood up.

Another time, my father and I had came home late in the evening and were wathcing T.V. My mother had gone to the movies with one of her friends. As we were watching television, we thought she was upstairs getting ready for bed. We heard someone walking around, the floorboards creeking and thumping. It wasn't until she came walking throught the back door, that we realized it wasn't her upstairs. My father and I just looked at each other shocked. We both immediatly thought someone had broken in and was hiding upstairs. We searched every closet and checked under all of the beds. Nothing. To this day, we still can't explain it. Was it Mr. Peterson again? Who knows?

Just the other day, my wife brought our infant son, downstairs to nurse as he had woken up about 3 o'clock in the morning. We have a monitor in his room. As I went upstairs to bed that night, I had forgotten to turn off the monitor we have downstairs in our family room. As my wife was laying on the couch, nursing the baby back to sleep, she heard somthing rustling and scratching on the monitor in his room. It wasn't me, I was fast asleep across the hall. My wife was freaked out and switched the monitor off. It seems, every picture we take in my son's room, there are orbs, or tiny balls of light around him. When he was only weeks old, he would stare at the ceiling in the corner of his bedroom and laugh and smile. As we would carry him out, he would follow whatever it was he was looking at. Could it be his guardian angel? One, or more of his great grandparents, or great-great grandparents in spirit form, coming to visit him and make him laugh? Whatever it was, it wasn't scaring him. He was happy. Have any of you had experiences like this? Leave a comment and let us know.

Politically Correct?

That’s right. You, me, and everyone else in the greatest country in the world has to start, if your not doing it already, being “POLITICALLY CORRECT”. Ok, I don’t know about you, but I for one am not really sure what the heck being politically correct really is. First of all, there are not very many things in politics any more as far as I can see, that are correct. Things that used to be very American are falling by the wayside in politics everyday. Republican, or Democrat, Tea Party, or Independent,  there is more party politics, more bashing, more hooray for us, the heck with the rest of you, in congress than I’ve ever seen. American politics isn’t about America any more, its more about which party can do more damage to the other party so they can help their cronies and themselves make money, all the while doing it on the backs of the American People. Disgusting! 

Sorry I got off tract there. I am sure that is not what “POLITICALLY CORRECT” terminology everyone is using means. I believe they, whoever they are, want us to watch what we say. For instance, we cannot say anything in a derogatory manner, whether it is jokingly, or otherwise, that might offend someone about their nationality, race, sex, religion, sexual preference, political preference, (unless your're in politics) color of their hair, the way they dress, the way they talk, walk, eat, sleep, shop, and any other activity you would like to add. Just look at all of the celebrities that have been ruined recently, for making comments that offended people. How about the Washington Redskins, or Cleveland Indians, being pressured to change their logos? The logo didn't seem to bother anyone 15, 20, or even 30 years ago. Seriously! Have we become a nation of people so thin skinned, that we have to watch every little word out of our mouths, jokingly or otherwise, for fear that something we said may just hurt someone’s feelings? I suppose the great Don Rickles, comedian extraordinaire, should be flogged for the words that come out of his mouth. Could they, whoever they are, be the legal system in this country waiting to pounce at the slightest utterance of a derogatory statement. Or, maybe it is the government or NATO that wants us all to dress in white and tap the back of our necks with some kind of mind control device so that we all say and do the things they want. For instance, we even have to be very careful of how we execute someone now-a-days. If, by some chance, that person takes just a little longer to die than he was supposed to, “OH MY GOD” how inhumane we have become. Now, doesn't matter how inhumane he was when he did whatever to whoever, but we have to make sure we are “POLITICALLY CORRECT” in the way we execute. Rubbish! Criminal Justice System. Wonder why it’s called that? Could it be, that the criminal in this country has all the justice. Oops, that might not be “POLITICALLY CORRECT” either. Oh well, maybe you fine folks out there can tell me who, or why we need to be “POLITICALLY CORRECT”.

Out of Bounds Exclusive! Sasquatch Sighting?

This photo was sent to us from a reader, who was on a camping trip in an undisclosed remote forest. He tells us that his first night in camp, he heard strange grunting noises and something heavy stomping through the brush. He described a strong odor, similar to that of a wet dog. The next night, he left out some fruit and granola bars and when he woke up in the morning, they were gone, but as he was adding some kindling wood, to get his fire going, the strange odor returned, but he heard nothing. Thinking people would think he was crazy, he said he had his cell phone in hand and ready. He then heard a loud breathing sound, scanned the brush in the morning sunlight and saw something crouched down in the brush to the east side of his camp and snapped this pic. He says he was then frozen in terror and says that he gets goose bumps every time he looks at his picture. He says as soon as he took a step backwards, whatever it was disappeared into the dense brush. He also says, the incident freaked him out so bad, he doesn't want to go camping again anytime soon. Our source says that he has photos of large tracks and is going to send them to us as well. Stay tuned for more to this exclusive story.

A vacation to the Bohemian Grove: to control the world

If you were one of the most powerful men in the world, you would be taking a two week retreat to the most exclusive club in the world. The Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre campground located in Monte Rio California, belonging to a private men's club known as the Bohemian Club. In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a two-week, three-weekend encampment of some of the most powerful men in the world. Scientists, bankers, media moguls, corporate executives, business leaders and high ranking military members meet to decide the world's next moves. Every Republican and most Democratic Presidents since 1923 have been members. Security is so tight, the compound is virtually impenetrable. Try to sneak in and we'll never hear from you again. There is said to be strange rituals and ceremonies. Why would all of these world powers be getting together like this? The answer is simple. To control the world!

Who is making the important decisions on what happens in the world? What do they want us to know? No one person has all the ideas. The ones with the money and power have an agenda. That agenda will be carried out at any cost. There is a plan. That is what is being discussed at these top secret meetings. Who will make the money? Who will hold the power? What will we broadcast to deceive the multitudes? Who will be the figurehead, while they control the power? Do you think there is one guy sitting behind a desk, deciding what percentage the interest rates will rise or fall to? No, these matters are being carefully planned out and carefully decided upon in these secret meetings. Whether people live or die, eat or starve, have peace or war is in the hands of these powers that be. Nothing will happen without these powers gaining a profit. What is being planned next? What will be carried out? What will be the next deception? Leave it up to a vacation by those who control the world.

The "Slender Man" in my dreams?

The latest internet horror craze is the "Slender Man", said to haunt you in your dreams and influence you to do crazy things. He is compared to Freddy Kruger, from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. He is a shadowlike figure, with pale features and floats around appearing here and there, horrifying you in the middle of the night. There have been murders, one in which teenage girls stabbed one of their friends to death and told authorities, that the "Slender Man" made them do it. People are haunted by the Slender Man and claim that he is real and not a dream. Fantastic. How scary. The problem is, that he is a FICTIONAL character made up on the internet by some guy named Eric Knudson. All of a sudden, this Slender Man idea spawned a whole series of photoshopped pictures, drawings, paintings, videos and tall tales. He is nothing more than a made up character, just like Frankenstein,The Mummy, or Godzilla. There is however a real, much more terrifying presence in the world influencing people to do horrific things and he's not the Slender Man. It's evil itself. He's the Devil.

Every day, we turn on the news and see murders, rapes, thefts and stories of people abusing children. The latest, a mother, who starved her 7 year old son, by feeding him small amounts of tuna fish and water daily. If he tried to sneak food, they would freeze him with cold showers, or lock him in the basement. In the words of my grandfather...."they should have beat her over the head with a lead pipe"! Are people crazy? Are they sick? Yes, but there is an influence making them do these sickening things. The earth is the Devil's domain and we have to fight to do good and what is right. If you believe in the story of Adam and Eve and the fall of man, you know that people are inherently evil. That's why so many today are so easily corrupted and do such horrible things to each other. When people talk about the "voices" in their head that made them do horrible acts, what do you think that is? It's not just their mind. It's evil. How else would you explain it. The world today is filled with pride, selfishness and greed. Everyone is for themselves. Everyone is right and everyone else is wrong. It is evil. There seems to be more bad, than good. The good news is, if you believe, God will protect you from evil. The Devil will have no power over you. The last thing I'm going to worry about tonight, when I roll into bed is some Slender Man. I know the good Lord will protect me from all of that nonsense, even if he was real. If I have bad dreams tonight while I'm sleeping, it won't be due to the Slender Man, or any other fictional character that somebody makes up. If I am tossing and turning in my sleep tonight and come down with a stomach ache, I know it will be from the two giant ice cream cones I just got done eating before bedtime.

Wolfgang Halbig: 11,000 page Sandy Hook “script”/ CT State Police gave false affidavits

BREAKING NEWS! Two Connecticut State Troopers have now confirmed to Wolfgang Halbig that an 11,000 page document in his possession was “the script” for the Sandy Hook fake shooting.

Hummm, always had my doubts on this!

Fill me up on the GMO's and watch me go!

You watch me go to the grave at a young age. More and more studies are showing that GMO's are bad to ingest over a long period of time. Is it any wonder why the N.G.A. is fighting hard to stop any state that wants to make it mandatory to label GMO foods? Just follow the money, they, like the politicians are in bed with big money Monsanto. If you love yourself, stay away from GMO food for a happier life.

Please take a minute and read the following.

Border Border out of Order!

First of all I am not going to get into what to do with the thousands of illegals that have been flooding into the country. This is a growing problem which if not stopped with break the back of America as we know it.

The problem at hand is the total inaction of the current administration. Please let it be known that I don't believe it is a democrat problem, it's not a republican problem but an American citizen problem. The dems will not address the problem for they see it as future voters and power. The republican see it as cheap labor and you know they won't say a peep. Obama is just a puppet for the powers to be to remake America and destroy the middle class. Bush was no better letting upwards of a million illegals into the country.

This all could be stopped very quickly be calling uo the Nation Guard and stopping the flow of illegals over night. But I doubt we will see any action of the sort due to it would spoil their master plan to turn America into a third world country. Remember D = voters and R = cheap labor. Heck, Mr rich just laid off 18,000 from Microsoft.

These illegals will not or do they want to learn our language. They are bringing a multitude of new diseases which we haven't seen in this country for a long time. One is drug resistant TB. Also it is going to tax our social programs for real American beyond the breaking point. Our vets and the elderly will suffer even more cuts to their benefits. The programs like WIC will go broke and many of American children will suffer. Remember,these new illegals get free housing, free health care (you get fine if you don't buy) and free food. Oh, did I mention free education?

What is the end game? Who's going to step up and stop this? How about the Governors Texas and Arizona? The National Guard is under their command. Oh yeah it's against the law? There is no law in this land anymore so call out the guard!!

What do you think? Is America seeing her last good days? Is there anyone who will step up and stop this madness? And do you think we should spend 3.8 million on these illegals?

Malaysian Airlines, Mysteries and the Number 7

Four months after Malaysian Airlines flight 370 went missing, another Malaysian airliner has been shot down. Coincidence? It could be. Something is going on and someone has something to hide. Just when the world has put the first Malaysian plane mystery on the back burner, we now have new mysteries and theories to listen to on all of the news networks. Why was this plane shot down? Was it just an accident? Was it a case of mistaken identity? There are reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin's plane was flying through the same skies earlier that same day. Was there a "hit" put out on Putin and was it botched? There are claims that it was a Russian missile, that shot down the plane. Who ordered the strike? Will we ever know the truth? Probably not. Whatever the agenda, whatever the reason, what do "they" want us to believe. Why again, did innocent people have to die?

Other conspiracies center on the number seven. Flight MH17, a Boeing 777, made its first flight on July 17, 1997, 17 years ago to the day it was shot down, in July, the seventh month of the year, on the 17 the day of the month. What do all of these numbers mean? Is there a reason behind the plane being shot down on that date? Is there a secret pattern to this madness? Is there a plan? And what of the passengers and crew? Some of the passengers on the flight were said to be world renowned AIDS researchers, on their way to a summit. Did someone not want them to arrive at their destination? Was there secret knowledge, or secret technologies someone was carrying aboard the plane, that were not going to be let out and kept secret at any cost? What we do know is, innocent lives are being lost in all of this.

Two planes. Two mysteries. Two cover ups. What is going on behind the scenes, that we don't know is happening? What is the next tragedy that will be used as a distraction? How many will have to die? These things don't just happen. Someone is in control. One plane shot down, another vanished into thin air. What is going on? Who is to blame? Do we want to know?

Guess My Momma Raised a Fool

I was born in the 1950's, a time when you had a party line telephone, three channels on your black and white television and most folks had only single car garages. With a dollar, you could go to the drugstore, or the local five & dime and get a whole bag of penny candy. What a great time to grow up.

Why am I reminiscing? I just paid my Time Warner Cable television bill. TWO HUNDRED-SEVENTEEN ($217.00) U.S. dollars! Yep, you read it right. Sounds more like a small car payment. About a year ago, my bill was about $179.00, so I cancelled the Movie Channel and Cinemax, to lower my monthly payment and have not added anything new, but somehow my bill keeps going up outrageously high. Now this got me to thinking about true pay-per view television. Currently, I have three different tiers of channels. Lets call them Basic, Digital and High Definition. Sounds great right? Nope! Time Warner brags about how many channels they offer, but they are the same channels. You really only get 50. 50 channels x 3 tiers = 150. Do you get the idea? Same channel, different tier. What a bargain. Oh yeah, by the way, if you have the high definition tier, you get the privilege of paying more for the channels that you don't receive with that tier. Up, up, up, we go!

Ok, are you disgusted yet? If we are all going to pay for pay-per view television, why can't we get the channels we want to watch? Instead of paying for the trash channels, some of which you can't even understand what they're saying, (don't forget, some peoples trash is other peoples treasure) let us only buy the channels we want. If they can separate the channels to pay for, why not separate them all and let us pick? Back to the 50's for a second. Back then it didn't cost you anything except electricity to watch television, so you got what you got. How can you complain about free? Back to now. In some cities, not only do you have to pay big bucks to watch TV, you also have to pay a "franchise fee". What? What the heck is that? Well, this is a fee that goes to your local community that the cable company has to pay to be the sole cable provider in that area, but YOU have to pay it. Yes sir, no other cable company but the one you're stuck with. Oh sure, there are the satellite dishes if you choose, but then there goes that thing on your roof.

Franchise fee! Sounds to me like a case of "taxation without representation"! I have to pay my local community for a cable company, that I didn't choose, to have service. As citizens, we didn't even get to vote for a cable company. If we have to pay, give us a say so. Well, maybe I should vote it's time to do away with "Time". Guess my momma wasn't the only one to raise a FOOL.

The Unreality of Reality TV

You've seen them. Reality shows. Real people living real lives. Everyday normal lives, except for the camera crew following them around. Unscripted, normal, everyday life. Pleeease! "Amish Mafia"...give me a break! This show should make any real gangster feel like a legitimate hard working member of society. And how about "Honey Boo-Boo"? I've had surgery and toothaches that were  less painful than watching that show. Put a Band-Aid on that one. Oh and how about "Real Housewives"? You pick the city. Any real housewife in America should be outraged. What an out and out insult to women everywhere. Then there's "Naked and Afraid". Have you seen this one? Naked people dumped somewhere and they have to survive in the wilderness. Where does the film crew stay to keep warm? Do you ever wonder what they're eating? I bet a show about a naked bus ride would draw more viewers. Have we hit rock bottom television, or what? What is reality? My guess, is that the television moguls are a part of the conspiracy to DUMB DOWN AMERICA! If you don't think so, just watch Bobo trying to find Bigfoot and then tell me I'm crazy. Pleeeease!

Can money cure AIDS?

 

The year was 1991 and that November, Magic Johnson announced to the world, that he would be retiring from the L.A. Lakers, due to the fact that he had contracted the HIV virus. Now, 23 years later, doctors claim that Magic Johnson has only a trace of the virus in his system. Can he be cured? How can it be? If he was a man from my hometown, just a regular guy like me, he would have been dead and buried 20 years ago, if not 23! What separates him from a regular guy? His fame and fortune. Being able to "hire" the best doctors in the world and pay for all of the medications that the regular guy could never afford, has kept him alive and could have possibly cured him. The same goes for any disease. Can we find a cure for AIDS? Can we find a cure for Cancer? Can we even cure the common cold? The answer is YES!

Have you ever seen any of those powerful disinfecting cleaners, or hand sanitizers on the market? Some of them state on the bottle, that they will kill the cold and flu virus and even the HIV virus! So, we can make a cleaner to kill HIV, but we can't make a medication to kill it. With all of the technological advancements in the medical industry today, we CAN find a cure. We can save the lives of men, women and children suffering and dying every day with these deadly diseases. So, why are we not. The answer is simple. MONEY.

Our televisions are polluted with advertisements for prescription drugs. They even say, "ask your doctor about" so and so medication. The prescription drug industry is big business and without sick people, they would be out of business. The powers that be will never let that happen. They are getting huge kick backs from these companies. They WANT people to be sick. They even CAUSE people to be sick. If the medical industry came up with a cure for the common cold, all of the cold medications on the market wouldn't be needed anymore. They won't let that happen. If they revealed the cure for cancer, all of the people paying thousands and thousands and millions and millions of dollars for medications and treatments wouldn't need them anymore. They can find a cure for anything. The technology we possess today, can solve any problem. Have they already found a cure for cancer? Do they have a cure for AIDS? 23 years is a long time, when you are supposed to have been given a death sentence. Can money be the cure?

Can they find the Malaysian plane?

I was talking to my neighbor the other day and he was tellling me to watch for the International Space Station that would be flying overhead that night. He then began to tell me how he and his daughter like to sit on the porch and sky watch and that his daughter had an app on her phone, which could track all the planes flying overhead and tell you what their destinations were. How amazing I thought! What technology! On our cell phones, we can track flights flying overhead at any time, yet the world cannot find the missing Malaysian airliner. Yea right. Someone out there knows exactly where the plane is and exactly what happened to it.
With all of the technology we have today, no doubt some hidden technologies, that most of us could only dream of, if we think our government doesn't know where the missing plane is, we ARE dreaming. Why we don't know what happened yet is the mystery. Why we don't know the truth is the real story.

Turn on your TV and all of the news networks seem to have forgotten about the story, yet a couple of month's ago, it was the ONLY story on TV. I bet the families and loved ones of all of the lost souls aboard the missing jetliner have not forgotten about the story. Meanwhile, life goes on and there is a new story of the day. The news media tells us what is important and what is happening, when things that are really happening, get pushed aside and ignored. There was a movie, back in the 80's, starring wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, called "They Live". It was a story about a guy that found out that aliens were infiltrating our society and sending subliminal messages through the news media. After finding special sunglasses, he was able to see the aliens who were disguised as people and see messages that were on the aliens secret agenda. Is this idea that far off? Is there an agenda by the powers that be that control the news media and want to convey what is happening in the world, when in fact, we have no idea? Meanwhile, families and friends are still mourning the loss of the men, women and children who were aboard the Malaysian plane and we are STILL being told it's a mystery. When their explaination does finally come out one day, what will they want us to believe?
