Ladies and Gentlemen... I am back. I know you've all probably bit half your lip off waiting for my next post, well here it is. Turns out I've been in Europe for the last 3 months. But, now I'm back.
Soooo.... ummmm.... what do you guys think about this?
Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything
about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular
scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away. From traces of drugs or
gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the
adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information
they want without even touching you.
And without you knowing it.
Hey guys, sorry for not posting recently, I've been very busy! I hope everyone's having a happy and productive 2012 so far. I just wanted to discuss something very sad that's been happening in the U.S. media for months. GOP candidate for President has been routinely and shamefully ignored by all of the mainstream media outlets, left, right and center. Even the usually balanced CNN has been quite guilty of this.
The sad thing is, the ignoring of a unique and well-supported candidate that actually has a chance to win his party's nomination is indicative of what many people have already suspected, but probably didn't expect to see so blatantly in the media, and that is the media having such a bias against a certain candidate. This is evidence that his openly-stated views are a major threat to many big players and they are using their influence to censor him. It's too bad that the media has lost its soul. When the media loses its soul, then so does the United States and our supposedly democratic republic.
Instances of Ron Paul being ignored...
Ron Paul strikes me as the best of the GOP candidates because he is very honest, thoughtful and consistent, and has been that way for years. He is not interested in getting elected, if it means he has to do it at the expense of what he believes to be right. You have to admire that. I also admire that he wants to end the expensive/unwinnable "war on drugs", and he wants us to get out of foreign wars and stop policing the world. If we do this, we will save trillions of dollars. Also, he is very much against SOPA and the NDAA bills that are poised to strip Americans of the rights to due process and censor-free internet. These laws are about as un-American as you can get.
Ron Paul talks about what matters and seems like he can actually be trusted... weird for a politician, right? Here's footage of a Fox news guest (Bush/Cheney political strategist) discussing how Cong. Ron Paul cannot be bought...
Very refreshing to hear. Everyone should do more to hear this candidate's message, because he is the exact opposite of the dishonest, professional politician that Americans have grown to loathe. He also has a lot of common sense solutions to fixing the economy and making Americans more "free."
Agree or disagree? Thoughts? Leave them in the comment section!
For those of you who missed Rick Perry's most recent and controversial political ad, here it is:
"I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.
As President, I'll end Obama's war on religion. And I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage.
Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again.
I'm Rick Perry and I approve this message."
Political GOLD. What was he thinking? He may actually be dumber than George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. It's actually impressive! And conservatives wonder why the Republican Party cannot be taken seriously anymore, even with a relatively unpopular Democrat as President. They're lost.
This video begs the questions... what is actually wrong with gays serving in the military? Literally, what is wrong with that?
Secondly, why the hell should kids be able to openly pray in public schools? Do these neoconservatives have any respect for the separation of Church and State? What about the kids that don't share their faith? Why can't people worship on their own time? Besides, it's not like kids actually want to pray in school. 95% of the time they're being forced to, and have no idea why they're doing it.
Leave any answers to these questions in the comment section, please!
Anyways, I came across this hilarious parody of the Rick Perry ad which really underscores everything ridiculous about the ad, Perry, and the Jesus-freak Party as it is today:
Very, very funny. Trust me on this. Enjoy and tell me what you think, world!
As always, I have the honor to be your faithful servant,
Disregard the corporate-influenced Conservative and Media spin-off of these protestors "Not knowing what they're protesting about", "being dirty, smelly hippies", or "lazy whiners". They would have you believe that Occupy Wall Street (and their counterparts from cities around the world) protestors are enduring police beatings, pepper spray to the face, tasings, arrests, nights in jail, acquiring criminal records, cold nights in crammed encampments, giving up the comforts of their homes for days/weeks, and other sacrifices just to hear themselves "whine" and because they are too lazy to work. Really? I've never heard of someone being so dedicated to laziness.
Was this really necessary? Is this freedom of speech? Has the U.S. become a "Police State"?
We can't compete with Corporate America on their terms in the current political system. Our lawyers aren't as good, our pockets not deep enough to have our politicians actually work for us. All we have is our numbers and our votes, and our votes only get us so far since 99% of politicians only seem to answer to their biggest donors. So, all we have is our numbers. We dissolve that, at this crucial moment, and we will only enbolden those who use their influence to quite literally squeeze us like sponges.
Here's a prime example of the type of corporate corruption allowed to take place in our country by which the OWS movement are so enraged. A number of Corporations have coalesced with Congress to dishonestly horde the pension/retirement money promised to their workers through legal loopholes, and then later complain that it is "too expensive" to take care of their retired employees.
This interview on The Daily Show with investigative journalist Ellen Schultz explains this outrageous, dishonest greed, and the way that the super-rich are able to use their resources to manipulate the system:

What are your thoughts? How do you feel about the Occupy Wall Street movement, whether it be here. or the demonstrations outside of the U.S.? What are your reactions to the videos I've posted?
I appreciate your feedback and continued support!
I have the honor to be your obedient servant, Publius
On this Thanksgiving, I can't help but wonder if that fateful Turkey couple would have ever got on board Noah's Ark if they knew what awaited their species in the future....
Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers, even if you're not from the States, as I'm sure we all have something to be thankful for!
I have honor to be yours truly, Booblius... ahem, I mean Publius
