George W. Bush's 2005, Inaugural Address: Have We Learned Yet?

This speech given by George W. Bush is yet another shining example of how much of a joke our Presidential Elections have become. Decision 2004 came down to George W. Bush and John Kerry; both men attended Yale University and were members of the Skull & Bones Society. Both intended to continue imperialism throughout the World, most notably places like Iraq and Afghanistan where the “Bush Administration” spearheaded by Dick Cheney and his corporate goons committed unspeakable crimes against humanity. The could-have-been “Kerry Administration” would have done precisely the same. This situation worked out in the end of course for the Democratic Party because if George W. Bush wouldn’t have resided as President through 2008 then what would have set the stage for Mr. “Hope” and “Change” Barack Obama.

                

Decision 2008 the American people are led to believe that their “choice” is between John McCain and Barack Obama. It was obvious from the point Barack won the primary that he would roll over McCain quite easily. In the modern age of TV image is everything and there’s no way in hell America was going to “choose” an old-white “Republican” over the younger multi-cultural Jesus-man “Democrat” making all his ridiculous promises, the political pendulum must swing both to hypnotize the masses into believing the bullshit “Democrat-Republican” left-right paradigm. Just in case America was going to “choose” the old-white guy the primaries ensured that another loyalist to Zionist imperialism would hold the puppet position. (NOTE: My use of the term Zionist does NOT mean Judaism by any means, Israel is an apartheid state and many Jews condemn many of their fascist policies including their treatment of the Palestinians. Google search Jews against Zionism; “You don’t have to be Jewish to be a Zionist”---Joe Biden.)

In 2000 John McCain’s campaign for Presidency had a man name Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was "Democrat" Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy advisor. Brzezinski has a long rap sheet of arming “rebel forces” all around the world then bombing the country the “rebel forces” inhabit to bring them “liberty and freedom.” Brzezinski is an extremely powerful man far exceeding John McCain and Barack Obama’s political clout put together, when Zbigniew says “jump” they ask “how high” he tells them to open their mouth and they ask “how wide?” plain and simple. Brzezinski has long been writing about his ideal of a one-world government in his books dating back to the 1970s. One of Brzezinski’s more famous quotes pertains to his plans for global government but also is a comment one the growing consciousness among the “politically awakening masses” for true freedom and openness “To put it pungently, in earlier times it was easier to control a million people than it was to kill a million people…Today it is infinitely easier to physically kill a million people than it is to control a million people.”

Eight years later John McCain actually secures the “Republican” nomination and runs against “Democrat” nominee Barack Obama. This campaign Zbigniew’s son Ian Brzezinski was named foreign policy advisor to Senator McCain, and who is Mr. “Change’s” foreign policy advisor you may ask?...Mark Brzezinski, Zbigniew’s other son. Obama also “appointed” his other string-pullers like Rahm Emmanuel whose father was an Israeli terrorist, and David Axelrod another Zionist who undoubtedly ran all sorts of shady businesses in one of the political cesspits of the world called Chicago.  

Flash-forward again to 2012 and the Nominees this time are…Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney. Have we learned anything yet? Both have big-banking interests at heart Mitt Romney said himself that he would have signed the National Defense Authorization Act which allows the President to detain any US citizens in “war” or “peace” with total suspension of habeas corpus and any other basic rights. So-called “ObamaCare” is based off Romney’s unconstitutional health-care reform he passed during his time as Governor in Massachusetts. Romney has even stated he would be harsher against the Iranians, have yourself a good laugh sometime and watch the greatest Romney flip-flop compilation on Youtube, really says everything you need to know about the man. Romney is a classic “stop me when you hear something you like” candidate and stands for nothing except business as usual just like Obama. Wake up, America your elections are a joke and you’re subjected to its’ fallout.    

Bill Clinton and NAFTA

On December 8^th, 1993 Bill Clinton signed the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Eric Foner, the compiler of these documents, mentions in the foreword that because Clinton was finishing the work of his predecessor George H.W. Bush that there was an overwhelming consensus that this so called “free trade agreement” was the right move. To insinuate that George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton represent all interests of the American political and economic is dubious at best. Those two men also supported the same policy of dropping bombs in the Middle East during their time as President. Which has become a morbid tradition since JFK that has been continued through George W. Bush and now Barack Obama; but of the last four Presidents clearly two of these men are “democrats” and the other two are “republicans.” Bill Clinton even attacked Iraq with 23 Tomahawk missiles for the alleged assassination attempt of George H.W. Bush [1], killing many innocent people on that day to “protect” a different mass murderer, Clinton would go on to bomb many thousands more during his 2 terms. Needless to say, they all read from the same script.

         
That script is written by the corporate elite who write up “trade agreements” like NAFTA in the totalitarian tiptoe towards one world government. Throughout the speech Clinton references trying to “create a world of free trade supported by institutions which would facilitate it…” The institutions Clinton is mentioning are these massive corporations which corner markets through buying politicians to stack the deck in their favor. Many large corporations pay zero taxes and their CEOs move their money off-shore and pay relatively no income tax or any other taxes. These corporations operate like cartels and many outlets tout the numbers of “created jobs” from this agreement but fail to see the underlying print; NAFTA may have “created more jobs” but corporations like Wal-Mart running small markets out of business then hiring people at minimum wage can hardly be counted among “created jobs.” Also between 2001 and 2003 when this agreement got out of its boom stage and into bust 2.4 million domestic jobs were lost with a high concentration in the manufacturing sector [2]. This agreement opened up the borders for these cartels to move seamlessly across North America which opens up the “Pandora’s box” of cheap foreign labor.

Bill Clinton would continue to boldly claim there would be “no loss of jobs” and that NAFTA was to “help out the middle class” all with a straight-face. As good as Clinton’s poker face was one thing that always gives away he’s lying…his lips are moving. Today there are over 18,000 companies with U.S investments in Mexico [3]. One of the most notorious, PepsiCo, has made a huge push into Mexico and continue now going into Central and South America [4]. As these interests slowly tiptoe their way past the border, the world is then open for them as they expand and exploit, like Apple Inc. into China at glorified sweat shops like FoxxConn [5]. Then the kicker, these huge cartels move their businesses overseas on taxpayers’ money [6]. It’s a great plan Bill, just when does this part about helping the middle class kick in?

The National Security Strategy of the United States, 2002

The White House officially released this document on September 20^th, 2002 just over a year after the terrorist attacks of September 11^th, 2001. In September of 2000, a “Neoconservative” American organization named the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) released documents entitled Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources for a New Century this documents main points consisted of US Military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. PNAC’s document also warned of the “dangerous” regimes in North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran (3 of 4 we have bombed in the last year) this group called for our country to “fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars” as a “core mission.” This “American grand strategy” was to be advanced “as far into the future as possible.” Their documents concluded that this “process of transformation” was likely to be a long one...”absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor.” Some prominent members of PNAC include founders Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and Lewis “Scooter” Libby. David Frum another person closely connected to PNAC wrote George W. Bush’s January 2002 State of the Union Address in which he dubbed Iran, Iraq, and North Korea the “Axis of Evil.”

               
The 2002 NSS contained much of the same type of material; using an Orwellian language to cacophemize the so-called “Muslim extremists” while simultaneously justifying violent overthrows and tyranny. It comes as little surprise that this document calls for pre-emptive military strikes among other policies which reflect the work of the Department of Defense 1992 work titled “Defense Policy Guidance” prepared by PNAC member Paul Wolfowitz and convicted-felon “Scooter” Libby who were working under Dick Cheney in the Department of Defense.  Both Libby and Wolfowitz also went on to become George W. Bush’s cabinet members, and of course Cheney was Vice-President according to their official titles.    

            
What a grand coincidence that three September in a row would mark this powerful group calling for “a new Pearl Harbor”, the next year that cataclysmic event happens then the third year their unofficial declaration of war and they have the nerve to spend a whole chapter patronizing “American exceptionalism” and “freedom, democracy” with millions of dead brown people in their wake. These are just a few examples of the laundry list of connections, anomalies, and other suspicious events that happened on that day. But the fact that they used 9/11 to justify invading Iraq murdering hundreds of thousands shows that at the very least these people exploit terrorist attacks and massacres to further an agenda that was long set in stone, as simple as Problem-Reaction-Solution.

                                                                                                                                             Today, Barack Obama is signing the U.N. Small Arms Treaty that will ban semi-automatic guns and make all guns have to be registered in a national database. Of course, what gun did alleged “Batman” killer brandish; a semi-auto. 6-miles from where the legendary “Columbine” shooting and just another few miles outside of the military industrial complex; where the hell else would you get tear gas from? Multiple witnesses have reported teargas coming from all directions, someone opening the backdoor for letting him in, and some have even said there were multiple shooters. The FBI themselves released a report on May 17, 2012 that there would be “increased terror threat” this summer at movie theatres and malls. By the way, did you see James Holmes at his arraignment, the guy looked so drugged out of his eyelids weighed 10,000 pounds! Of course the most damning bit of evidence that this was “false flag” terror…Barack Obama and Eric Holder already got busted once with Operation “Fast & Furious” killing somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 people by giving Mexican drug cartels fully automatic guns and letting them run amok. They’re talking about the death penalty for James Holmes; what do we do with Eric Holder, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, George H. Bush, Hillary Clinton, etc. etc?      

Hypergiants: Nuclear Reactors of the Gods

Abstract: This research paper dives into the nature of one of creations greatest processes; the birth, lifespan, and death of the largest stars known in the universe. Details are given about relevant theories pertaining to these objects plus some of the new exciting discoveries that have challenged the once majority opinions about massive star formation in our universe. An effort is made to try to understand the amount of energy and sheer size of these celestial bodies, and examine their role in a short million years’ time within the grander scheme of the cosmos. Crucial to increasing our understanding of these giant nuclear reactors is observing its behavior during the death stages. The final death stage called a Hypernova is put into context compared to other galactic explosions, and seeks to understand the process by which these hypernovae create super massive black holes. Theories of black holes/wormholes are investigated and what could be on the other side.     

Hypergiants

            Hypergiant is the term applied to the most massive stars ever found. A typical Hypergiant star will release as much energy in six seconds as our Sun will in a full year. Because these stars release so much energy, their life-times are measured in millions of years; a miniscule amount in the full scale of the universe. These Hypergiants were originally considered to be between 100-150 solar masses of stellar material [1]. This approaches what is known as, the Eddington Limit [2]. 

Arthur Eddington

The Eddington Limit or Eddington Luminosity is named after an astronomer and scientific philosopher, Arthur Eddington [3]. Mr. Eddington enjoyed a successful and prestigious career with a wide range of work. Arthur assisted Albert Einstein verify his General Theory of Relativity by photographing a total solar eclipse on May 29^th, 1919; attempting to see if the sun bent the light of distant stars. Eddington also did extensive work in the area of philosophy writing a total of fifteen books and research inquiries, including The Nature of the Physical World in 1928, Space Time and Gravitation: Outlining the General Relativity Theory in 1920 and Philosophy of Physical Science in 1939. In relation to these enormous stars Sir Arthur gave us the aforementioned Eddington Limit. The Eddington limit is a theoretical maximum of stellar mass; at this point the star, due to imbalance of gravity and outward pressure, would become too unstable and eject large amount of its materials, incapable of sustaining equilibrium. However as with most astronomical theories, the Eddington Limit has been challenged by the discovery of extremely massive stars. When calculating his hypothesis Arthur Eddington only took into account electron scattering; since then new theories of star formation have released and the Eddington Luminosity has been updated to compensate for its inherent flaws. 

R136A1

One of the problems with even the updated Eddington Limits is the increasing frequency of new discoveries of massive stars, like R136a1 found in the Tarantula Nebula. News of the discovery of this super-massive star was first published in July of 2010. After observing this monstrous star, astronomer Raphael Hirschi commented “Its high mass would reduce the length of the Earth's year to three weeks, and it would bathe the Earth in incredibly intense ultraviolet radiation, rendering life on our planet impossible,” [4]. This star is estimated to be at least 265 solar masses and was born at 320 solar masses; at just a little over a million years old R136a1 is well into the later stages of its life cycle, having shed over 50 solar masses of energy. Astronomers do not understand this rapid shedding of mass very well but have documented this mass loss consistently among these amazingly large celestial bodies. R136a1 is also the most luminous star ever discovered over 8,700,000 times brighter than our Sun. If it were in our solar system it would outshine our Sun the way the Sun outshines a full moon. There has been some speculation that R136a1 could actually be a binary star system but no supporting evidence of that claim has been presented.

VY Canis Majoris

Though R136a1 is the most massive star ever discovered it is not the longest in diameter ever discovered. That title belongs to an enormous star known as VY Canis Majoris named after the constellation of its residence Canis Majoris. VY Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant like the star Betelgeuse; the first documented observation of this star was on March 7^th, 1801 by a man named Jérôme Lalande.  When we observe this star it has a massive surrounding area of ejected stellar material, encircling it like a death shroud. Because of the billions of tons of material being ejected every day this star is extremely volatile VY Canis Majoris is deep into its life cycle and has gotten to the point, where it has massively expanded.  VY Canis Majoris only has 13.21% of the mass of R136a1, though it is hundreds of times larger. VY CM’s radius was estimated by University of Minnesota professor Roberta M. Humphrey’s to be 1800-2100 solar radii, and would take about 228,831,216 suns to fill the entire volume of this star [5]. This has been an issue up for debate though; some opposing astronomers believe VY Canis Majoris is a normal red supergiant of about 600 solar radii. This could possibly explain VY Canis Majoris mass deficiencies of between 30-40 solar masses of material. But the way these two stars are born are two very different processes.   

Hypernova

Both of these stars could explode at any moment in a fantastic way called a Hypernova. Interestingly enough, the first evidence of hypernova explosions were stumbled upon by accident. During the Cold War, the United States sent satellites into space to detect any gamma radiation to see if the Soviets were trying to get a leg up in the arms race. They did find radiation but realized that it was coming from the depths of the cosmos and not Russia [6]. Also this radiation far exceeded that of normal supernova bursts let alone the capabilities of the Russians. After a decade or so of searching astronomers found these massive burst were coming from the direction of once massive stars.   Some astronomers contradict this discovery by saying it wasn’t necessarily a hypernova but the satellites picked up direct radiation out of the beam from a supernova. Regardless, when a star like R136a1 explodes in the relatively near future it will likely explode with the most energy ever recorded the power of over 100 supernovae. These hypernovae have the ability to convert chunks of matter larger than the sun into electromagnetic radiation almost instantly. These events are significantly rarer than normal supernova blasts; only an estimated five hypernova blasts happen in our galaxy in a million years’ time [7].  

Gamma Ray Bursts

When these massive explosions happen a gamma ray burst is released. As the star begins to run low on its fuel for nuclear fusion, the collapsing pressure of gravity starts to out muscle the outward pressure of said nuclear fusion. This massive star then becomes exponentially more volatile and forms a black hole at its core where density and gravity become infinite. The black hole then begins to cannibalize its outer layers and in one mighty hiccup releases unimaginable amounts of energy in the form of a gamma ray burst. These gamma ray burst release more energy in one second than the Sun would in 100 of its 10 billion-year evolutionary cycles. Two beams of gamma radiation shoot out from each pole while the rest of the star explodes, these two beams will race out through space for a few seconds obliterating anything in its path. If there were a star like this close enough to hit Earth it would blow out our atmosphere into deep space and vaporize our entire planet before we ever knew what hit us. Thankfully there are none of these monsters anywhere near our solar system.

Black Hole Birth Everywhere!

 In 2004, NASA released the Swift Probe; this probe scans the universe in search of these gamma ray bursts.  Because a gamma ray burst is generally the death of these rare hypergiant stars results weren’t expected to be groundbreaking or immediate. One can imagine how surprised not only the people at NASA but the entire astronomical community was when this probe was detecting and gathering information about a new gamma ray burst every day [8]. The implications of these discoveries shook the entire perception of astronomy to its core for a few key reasons. First, the fact that we were gaining new information everyday about the type of events that happen only five times in a million years in our galaxy is incredible for understanding the formation of heavy elements. It also gives us a new way of thinking about the scale of the universe if these events are only happening five times in a million years in any one galaxy; yet we are detecting new bursts from a limited range of detection from deep space each day. Lastly, and most importantly this gives us a clear cut way of finding new black holes since these bursts are their signatures of birth. We could also possibly use this information to estimate the total amount of black holes within this universe.    

Wormholes: Time Travel or Dimensional Travel?

These new black holes, like the stars that created them, are immensely massive. Because mass is directly linked to gravitational force the gravitation attractions of the black holes are incredibly strong (strong enough to form galaxies). When something is pulled into the inner strong fields of the black hole it would begin condensing any form of matter to the point of slowing down time itself on the path to the crunch at the singularity [9]. This center of infinite gravity is a natural time machine, it can crush space and time together but it can never destroy the energy that gets pulled through the singularity. Thus came Stephen Hawking’s theories of wormhole time travel, which very well could be; but it is also possible that these black holes are gateways up the 11-dimensions of reality, proposed by M Theory [10]. Another idea to consider is because all forms of matter are vibrational information; it’s possible these black holes send us through the base frequency of this reality to another frequency. As mentioned earlier, time is manipulated by these immense forces, but the questions that arise are what exactly is time and how can it be objectively measured?

Time Measurement Paradox

Here on Earth we measure astronomical time in years; for example the mainstream belief is that our sun is approximately 4,570,000,000 years old. So the question becomes what is a year? Well, a year is the Earth making a full rotation around the sun or 365.25 days. A day is one rotation on Earth’s axis. Earth is about 24,900 miles in circumference ; a day on Earth is 24-hours. In an hour the Earth rotates about 1,000 miles. The point being that we base all our measurements of time on cycles of our Earth and solar system, which are experiences of the human consciousness. If these black holes are really gateways to distant points of space and time there would be no discernible way of truly knowing whether you went forward or backwards in time, even if one ran into a planet that sustains life. One thing that is reasonably certain is that if these black holes really are worm holes it wouldn’t be time travel back to our own planet. Because space and time are interwoven if you make a radical jump in space you must make a radical jump in time and vice versa.

 A Holographic Universe

But what’s more poignant is these vibrational fields put off by these supermassive black holes are much more than just a gravitational field. These black holes create entire galaxies. The base frequency sent out stimulates star birth in the interstellar clouds, the stars composition is based on the materials in these clouds that originated in a super or hypernovae explosions. The type of star born whether, large and blue or small and yellow like our Sun then dictates through photon energy what kinds of life, organic carbon-based or other ways we don’t know are possible, may be able to develop by its energy powering through the solar system.

Quantum Physics has proved this physical reality is made of atoms. The Atom is over 99.99% empty space, and the particles within the atom resonate at a certain frequency giving off energy fields that are decoded by the brain to project an apparently solid world [11].  Even the actual parts like the nucleus and electrons are made of smaller parts like neutrinos and quarks. The harder we try to grasp the elementary particles and understand how they create “solid” objects the more holographic and abstract these building blocks become, and we miss the plot line. Ultimately, it is a philosophical revolution that will connect us to the true nature of multi-dimensional reality. Science can only lead so far down the rabbit hole of understanding because of the state of the scientific method we need to be able to observe our theories. But when we understand that our bodies only decode small fractions of the electromagnetic spectrum; everything is the same form of energy vibrating at different frequencies, in the end it’s the same consciousness that manifests the same vibrational fields in such vastly different states.

The true reality of the universe is that of a living, self-sustaining, cyclical being, we are all droplets within that infinite being.  We see the entire universe in endless parts, like galaxies, stars, planets, quasars, asteroids. Look in the mirror and I see arms, legs, nose, ears, fingers, toes, and individual strains of hair. Then scientist look through a microscope and see organs, cells, tissue, DNA, nuclei, atoms, electrons, neutrinos, and quarks. What we are experiencing is because all of this indestructible energy is conscious, wherever the consciousness explores it will find itself looking directly back at consciousness. No matter where we go, no matter what happens we are always observing and affecting the energy fields around us. Which means, like the title of Stephen Hawking’s new book The Dreams That Stuff Is Made Of implies; the energy fields released through the vehicle of the body dictated by our attitude are fundamental to creating this reality. We can look out into our world and see all the infinite amount of divisions. But dividing an infinite realm by an infinite amount of parts comes back to One. We are all the free-willing children of that infinite being, and we are one with all creation; there is no such thing as death because energy never dies and it is the core of all being. The only choice needed to be made is whether we want to live in a dense vibrational state of stress, fear, and resentment or the highest state of our being which is, always has, and will always be love, compassion, and understanding. A simple choice, then again isn’t that the story of life?          

The Temptations

     The Temptations made for TV movie tells the story of an aspiring young group of singers who would go on to become one of the biggest acts of the MoTown era of music. Their music would go on to influence a range of other performers like Boyz II Men, I personally was awestruck by the infinite similarities of the Boyz II Men album I review earlier in the semester and the music of The Temptations. However I do feel less contempt towards The Temptations because at least they were among the earlier groups to do what they did; but at the same time I can’t say they are original given that all their music was written for them.

           
     This movie in general was well-done the actors were actually pretty good. I especially liked David Ruffin he reminds me of people I know and is definitely entertaining even if he was driving his other band mates insane.  It was also interesting because I knew David wasn’t going to make it through the whole movie, the only thing that surprised me was that he out-lived Paul by close to twenty years and almost out-lived Eddie and Blue. This movie took on a snuff-film like persona rather quickly towards the end with all the band mates dropping like flies except for Otis Smith who’s still alive today at the rightful age of 70.

     Overall this is a very-good movie; they did an excellent job of story-telling and throwing in humor mixed with tragedy. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys old school doo-whop music or is interested in history of the MoTown music movement. I would even recommend it for fans of modern acts like Usher or other soft-jams type music because they all have some kind of influence from The Temptations.      

They Live: Movie or Metaphor?

They Live is a movie from 1988 directed by John Carpenter who worked with George Lucas on the Star Wars flicks. This film has immediately recognizable similarities to the world that we live in today. From financial crises, people living in tent cities to subliminal advertising on television and magazines this film seems more than just a work of entertainment.

The initial theme of the movie is of a man who lost his job due to the economy taking a turn for the worst, and finds safe haven in a tent city with some 50-100 other people. This parallel is painfully obvious in that true unemployment rates are in the range of 20-30% today. Tent cities are springing up in alarming numbers, especially in areas like Detroit and many other northeastern states.

Carpenter takes his metaphor another step further during the movie when the main character, John Nada, notices strange things happening at the church across from the tent city. Nada goes to investigate and finds they have been hacking through a broadcast frequency of the television station, to speak out against those who are controlling humanity. Now these ideas relate on multiple levels of our modern society; first television does broadcast frequency as do all electronic devices and has been shown in many studies to cause a change in human brainwaves similar to hypnosis. When in these states, people think less critically making them exponentially more suggestible and therefore easily manipulated. On a different level these broadcasts can be seen as metaphorical to TETRA Technologies that have come out since 2006. TETRA masts broadcast frequencies of 17.6Hz which is above the frequency of the human brain and can cause mass disharmonization of our natural energy fields, affect thought and sleep patterns and can cause horrible diseases. In England, there has been a breakout of esophagus cancer among police officers and other emergency workers whom are required to keep these systems on their chests at all times. In the movie when they first bust through the broadcast frequency a little girl cries out “Mommy, its giving me a headache”, which is another affect these broadcast frequencies can have on our bodies.

All along while these operations were going on at the church helicopters were flying over-head, tracking activity in and out of the church. This eventually culminates in the police ransacking the tent city and the accompanying church to stifle their operation and snuff out the dissidents. Just another obvious metaphor comparable to the exploding police state we are seeing worldwide. President Obama signing the National Defense Authorization Act giving officers the right to arrest anyone without charging them of a crime under the infinite umbrella of “suspected terrorist”. There are videos all over YouTube of police brutality; whether it is throwing a man on a hover round being thrown on the ground for apprehension or an 84-year old woman and a pregnant woman at occupy Seattle protests being pepper sprayed. These are just a few examples of how the global police state is growing by the day.

After the police raid, there was one secret room they did not find during their tirade through the small chapel. In the room was a box of glasses that the resistance operation made during their attempt to speak out against the imposed suppressive tyranny. Nada seemed disappointed when he found the box and took a pair then left the rest in a trash can. He walks down a busy street and decides to try on the glasses. John looks at a billboard that normally says “Come to the…Caribbean” but through the glasses it’s just a plain board that says “MARRY AND REPRODUCE” then goes to a street vendor and looks through magazine which through the glasses say things like “CONSUME”, “SLEEP”, “OBEY”, “CONFORM”, etc. Nada then sees the vendor with a wad of money in his hands and on the money it says “THIS IS YOUR GOD”.

The most basic allegory this implies is the idea of subliminal messages in advertising, music, television, films, art, etc. Take this picture for example.

There is a massive subliminal message in this “piece of art”. But because it is below the threshold of general human awareness, it will not usually be consciously picked up on. However, our subconscious mind is a sponge for subliminal messages and similar mind-control stimulus. Thus images like this can influence us later on in the day or at a completely different time in our lives without us ever consciously understanding their origins. The subliminal message in this image starts between the first and second flower from roughly half way up the flower to the grass level which shapes the letter “S”; in between the second and third flowers to the direct right of the “S” the leaves point out on the third flower to create the letter “E”, then of course the third and fourth flowers form the letter “X” to create the subliminal message of “SEX”. And now what was once only picked up subconsciously is bold-faced staring directly at you; if you were ever to see this image again, your eyes like magnets will go directly to the subliminal message.

Disney is infamous for their subliminal messages in movies like The Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and their subliminal messages most certainly have continued up to today.

The sun glasses could also be seen as someone having a conscious awakening. Going from having no idea of the extent of control all around, to suddenly having an event in life that opens the eyes to see how the cage of tyranny is being built and we are its prisoners. For example, on the hypnotic sleep level it would seem to people that George W. Bush and Barack Obama could not be more different, and they certainly campaigned themselves as such. But then we look at what these people do while in office. As one of his first acts, Barack Obama extended Bush’s Patriot Act four years, which destroys our 4^th Amendment rights. At the dead of night on New Year’s he signed the National Defense Authorization Act I mentioned earlier, which furthers the impositions of the Patriot Act. More recently Obama enacted the National Defense Resource Preparedness Act which allows him to enact Martial Law in times of “crisis” with no definition of the term. The point isn’t to rag on Barack Obama here, the point is he has no power; he does what he’s told and says what’s written for him. This is how he’s able to fill out his NCAA Tournament Brackets on ESPN, take 50+ golfing trips in a year, campaign, coach girls basketball leagues, meet every championship team in the four major sports, and party every Wednesday in the White House all while “running a country”. As portrayed in They Live similar conscious awakening is happening all over the world to all sorts of people and the façade is wearing thin. They are beginning to see things like the fact that both likely presidential candidates, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, are funded by big business wall street-types like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, etc.

The final metaphor and certainly most controversial takes the movie and possibly the world that we live in to a new level of amazement and seemingly ridiculous. The glasses give Nada, his friend Frank, and any others who wear them not only the ability to see subliminal messages and the scale to which those in control track and suppress humanity’s awareness from cradle to grave. It also gives them the ability to see that many of those in power, such as police, politicians, newsreader, the wealthy and presumably powerful, are not human but rather some kind of alien race. Now, take a breath...and consider any possible evidence for this claim. All over the ancient world there are stories of “Gods” descending from the sky, in South Africa the Zulu shamans call them the Chitahuri, the Aztecs worshipped a reptilian “god” called Quetzalcoatl, o=in the Sumerian Tablet, which almost all of the Bible is based off of, they give a detailed story of the Annunaki, this word literally translates to “those who came from heaven to Earth”. Then look in the Bible in Genesis Chapter 6 Verses 1-4 “When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of Gods saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of Gods went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.” Not to mention, there’s the story of Adam and Eve where a talking snake tempts the couple into bringing about the “fall of man”. And all over the world there are similar stories of these flying reptilian “Gods”. More food for thought comes in the form of what psychologists refer to as the R-complex in our brain or reptilian brain. This R-complex is fundamentally intertwined with our fight or flight response we get from the amygdala. In 1977 Carl Sagan the famous astronomer and natural science researcher looked in depth on the progressions of human consciousness in his book Dragons of Eden and noted massive leaps in consciousness that can be correlated to the times of these “Gods” arriving on Earth. These “Gods” we know gave the Mayans their advanced knowledge of astronomy that we are only now beginning to confirm and understand and gave the Egyptians and Mayans knowledge of pyramid building that are directly aligned with solar phenomena like solstices and equinoxes. Overall, in the movie these non-human entities controlling society are malevolent. Then taking an in-depth critical look at the state of the world today, whether one believes there are non-human species manipulating these events or not, it is certainly clear that the force of Love is not leading our world.

This movie, They Live, is a fantastic piece of dystopian society art. It has clear easily provable parallels to the plight of humanity today in 2012. Then if one is willing to go beyond the limits of what is propagated as possible by both science and religion; we possibly get a view into the true nature of this reality we are living, with how and to what ends it is being manipulated. As Mark Twain once wisely said “Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction is obliged to remain within one’s perception of possibilities. Truth is not”. When our perception is opened to infinity there are no limits to where information and truth will lead us.

The Political Diversion of Contraception

In recent weeks the biggest controversy in the American public unfortunately isn't massacres in Libya or Palestine instead it is the HHS mandate of President Obama's healthcare plan. Bleeding-heart Christians make their argument for the freedom of religious beliefs in the first amendment. While their opposition site their freedom to as Rush Limbaugh, in his mass bigotry, would characterize "to be a slut".

In protest of this mandate, people from over 140 cities around the country with a strong female representation have taken to the streets to express their disapproval. The mainstream media has been all over coverage of this issue from all sides. Whether it be MSNBC and their predictable "pro-contraception liberal" spin or Fox News and their expected "anti-whore conservative" view; It's laughable to see Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and their male cronies make these grandiose proclamations against this issue regardless of the fact they themselves will never have to take birth control. But they need to make sure they don't pay the extra five cents out of their multimillion salaries for contraception. Meanwhile, in Israel we are sending billions in taxpayers' money to fight a war that we have no business in, and any reasonable person wouldn't want.

Of course the single group with probably the largest outrage at this issue are the people of the Roman Catholic faith. Myself being Catholic, I am subjected to weekly sermons (rants) of how we need to protect the "sanctity of life" how this issue goes against "God's will" and further fear-mongering of how this is the sign of "the fall of our great Nation". It is interesting though that they have never said much about corruption of children within the confines of our own religion. The Priest incites upheaval over the thought of our tax dollars going to pay for "murdering children", while certain churches collect thousands every mass that funds sexually abusing children. The hypocrisy within the Catholic churches and organized religions in general is quite staggering indeed.

To get a pulse on the viewpoints of fellow classmates I spoke with Ms. Natasha Wilson. In our conversation Natasha tried to shed light on what she believes are the motives for our President in the wake of this mandate. "I don't necessarily think President Obama intended to insult Catholic and other religious institutions with his proposal. One of Barack's key political platforms is nationalizing healthcare, and in doing so gives women their own choice and furthers his healthcare agenda."

Given the mass amount of media attention this particular mandate and issue in general receives; one thing that is for sure is that this debate will continue to rage on for the foreseeable future. But it is hard to see this issue as anything more than a distraction; we carry on with this inconsequential debate while Barack Obama signs executive orders like the National Defense Authorization Act. This legislation acts as a follow up to George Bush's "Patriot Act" and suspends the writ of Habeas Corpus for any "suspected terrorists". Or more recently his signing of the National Defense Resource Preparedness Order, which in effect gives him the power to declare Martial Law. But don't worry about that, gays are getting married, girls want the right to choose what they do with their body, a new episode of Jersey Shore is on tonight, Whitney Houston's autopsy just came out, and the Elite 8 starts tonight. These are just a few among the endless supply of distractions from the prison being built around us and the suspension of freedoms. But don't worry ours is the land of the free and home of the brave, where you are free...to do as we tell you!!!
