A few days ago, I took my cousin's dog out for a little walk. Somewhere in between the short stints of urination, I began to wonder what it is like to be a domestic animal. The dog I was controlling by way of tugs on a leash lives in an apartment. He has as much food as he wants to eat and is protected from the elements. Without effort, he has everything he needs to survive.

But, the dog is missing so much. The dog is not free. The dog is held captive by a species claiming to be the most intelligent of all earthlings. So, human supremacy gives us the idea that this dog is inferior. We see no problem in confining him in an area of only a few hundred square feet; only allowed to leave for short periods to expel waste as so not to ruin his owner's living quarters. Periods of play are scheduled for the dog around the work schedule of the owner, and the play area is even bound by limitations. This denial of freedom for the dog shows man's complex of "superiority dictates acceptance". The imprisonment of the dog is accepted because man feels he is superior, and the superior naturally rules the inferior (i.e. God reigns over mankind).

Luckily, I did not stop my pondering there. My next thoughts went something like this: Supervisors are superior to proletariat. Managers are superior to supervisors. And, executives are superior to managers. Being a member of the proletariat, I began to see myself as the dog; but not only within the limits of the workplace--in society. Much like the dog running to retrieve the newspaper or performing some new trick, the proletariat answers telephones, buys supplies, catches the ball, and sings the song for the superior (elite). The elite knows that the proletariat (commoner) does not know what true freedom truly is much in the way the dog being raised sub-servant to the man since birth doesn't know the freedom of the wild.

The idea of the elite/commoner does not solely exist in two parts. The roles exist in many varieties in the hierarchy mentioned above... manager/supervisor; manager/proletariat, executive/supervisor etc. The more one climbs the hierarchical ladder, the more "dogs" he is capable of controlling. Each of us have been preconditioned to believe their are lesser beings on the planet. In your youth, you were given ant farms, hampsters, goldfish, cats, and dogs whom lives you manipulated and controlled. Much like the animal abuser who becomes the serial killer, the "God" of the ant farm sets out on his quest to manipulate and control actual people for his own self-satisfaction only to be inadvertently subjected to the very power he seeks to obtain.

I am getting the feeling that if you do not completely immerse yourself in Haiti by giving your prayers or your money (or lack thereof), then you are a godless American and do not deserve to be in this "Christian" nation. While I do feel sadness and sorrow for the lives lost and destroyed, I would like to try and pry your attention to our friends in the Middle East.

Their lives have been lost and destroyed by our hands and tax dollars for nearly a decade, and the only coverage they seem to gather is that a few of them are planing to attack us. I am not even going to mention the "terrorists" anymore; they get enough attention. I want all of you to know about the innocent children and civilians who lose there lives to a man-made disaster everyday. I want you to watch any sort of video of the pain and suffering that THEY have to go through. Where is the all-star cast of celebrities lining up to do a national TV event for the families in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and any other country our military or defense contracted military is "occupying"? Do you want to know where they are? In Haiti, grabbing your attention so they can grab your wallet! I thought we were in a recession anyway? That's another topic for another day coming very soon!

A lot of people consider what we do here conspiracy theory, and I can never understand why. I can never understand why we would put a price on one group of people's lives and completely ignore another, especially when WE are the ones who put them in that group. I never can understand why people don't want to get out of their shell of virtual reality and understand that life isn't so simple and the world isn't so small. I never can understand why we are deemed the crazy ones because we are willing to look outside the box and care for humanity, instead of watching Three Sixes News (this is what we will be calling Fox News from now on!) to form their opinion on the world. It's time to care, it's time to wake up, it's time to:

The Fed just reported record profits in 2009. About a year ago this wouldn't have meant anything to me. About 9 months ago, I would have thought that the recession was nearly over. Now, I know better, and this set off a BS alarm in my head. Without sounding "nutty", the aboved linked article mentioned that a few hundred people just made off with all of your hard work and savings last year. While others and I struggle for jobs in this downed "economy", those few elitist made more money in one quarter than we could imagine in our entire lifetimes. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a "conspiracy nut" to figure this out.

How a bank works is simple. You make a deposit and the bank creates almost 10 times that amount out of thin air and gives that out in loans that are paid with interest attached. That's right. You're paying interest on something your bank never had. Doing this over and over again to millions of people is going to make a few rich and almost everyone else poor. There is no way to pay all the interest back with the actual money currently in circulation (the money in our wallets and purses). What does this have to do with the Federal Reserve?

If you can grasp the basic understanding of how a regular bank works, think of the Fed or the "central bank" as the mothership of all the other banks and the bank that Congress gave the power to print our money. So when I say that money is created out of thin air, I mean the Fed literally creates money out of thin air. Just as we go to the nearest bank and ask for a loan, whenever the government needs money to do anything, it has come from the central bank--AT INTEREST. When I say the government, I mean your federal tax dollars. Putting this all together, that headline reads: "You gave Ben Bernanke (pay close attention to this video) and all of his cronies, 47 billion dollars and they gave it back to the government (you) at interest. So next year, if we can start another war or get you to like a big, huge government deal that will hurt you in the long run, that number can almost double, at your expense." That's too long of a headline, so the one you read will have to do.

Our money is debt and our deficit is caused by our necessity for that money. There is no way to balance it or pay it off; because if we did, there would be no money at all. The only way to free ourselves from this debt slave trade we call capitalism is to research all of this ourselves, speak out in some way, and tell others. Oh yeah...

Since the failed Christmas day plane bombing, I've heard it said that we should profile every Muslim man between the ages of 18-28. In a time when fear is the most common emotion in people, that would seem to be the correct course of action. In the past few years since 9/11, we've been told about countless terror attempts from disgruntled "Muslim men", many with "ties" to Al-Qaeda. On the surface, it's safe to say: "Profile them all" in the name of national security, but what would be the point? If profiling in the name of national security is the new fad, then let's inconvenience and harass YOU!

J.R. Junior made some great points about the questions that we should ask ourselves and others about what happened that day. I, for one, believe wholeheartedly that this was all set up to scare you into supporting the invasion of another sovereign nation in the name of terror. Only this time, support is based on speculation and the idea of lives lost, which is obviously scarier. Of course, this is going to run 24-7 all over the news channels and across the web. The problem is: the rhetoric which prompts profiling is much more heavily covered than all of the childish inconsistencies of the "story" we are being told.

Have we not learned anything from history? Do we even know history? Well, history has shown that profiling has very damaging effects especially when there is no reason for it--or in our case, reasons are made up for it. Who gets effected by this? Do you even care? Of course not. It's not you whom they are after. Most of us Americans don't fit that profile. But, what if you do? I actually kind of look like Mr. Abdulmutallab, and I'm a Marine Corps veteran. So, should I go through the same scrutiny even though I signed up to defend our country? There are so many scenarios against profiling that eventually it will not make sense.

But, the biggest point I want to make is that when--and I mean WHEN--profiling happens to every person in this country, you will finally realize that no one wants to take our freedoms away except for you. No one wants to bomb a plane because of two reasons: First, it's inconvenient to everyone including the "bombers". Secondly, once the investigation is complete, their families will be bombed themselves which defeats the whole purpose of and is not even the definition of terrorism.

The only bomb attempt that occurred on Christmas day was the one that went off in the minds of the American people. Profiling seems like a good idea when you aren't the target group. Once you realize that you actually are the target group, then maybe, you will understand that this is a war to make and take money from you; not a war on half-assed wanna-be terrorists.
