Telecommunications and FBI in bed together. WTF?

This morning I read two articles on the bus that simply shocked me to the core about the intertwined nature of the security organizations and the telecommunications companies. Here is a link to the first article.

FBI, Telecoms Teamed to Breach Wiretap Laws

This is simply scary as fuck and I can't believe the line that states that regardless of how the evidence was claimed, illegally, it still can be used against the defendant. As well that they are utilizing a social network mode of acquiring who their targets are calling.

What freaked me out the most was the case of reporters numbers being traced and their connection calls with their contacts. It seems that the tactic that is being used to find out who the reporters informants are and thereby DIRECTLY breaking the laws of freedom of speech and a reporter/informant protection.

But, the actual practice being used does not in the least surprise me. By bedding with the telecom companies directly with the FBI it gives obvious benefits. I wonder what the Ruskies are up to in the EU and only God and Buddha have a true insight into the Chinese practices that oh so carelessly deny their citizens any rights of digital privacy.

May the tech's see the light and save us all.

FBI Broke Law Spying on Americans’ Phone Records, Post Reports

This second article can be tied into the previous one on the vast practice of telecom and security organizations deeply tied and merging together. Hell, even the telecom employees had short cuts on their desktop for ILLEGAL forms to allow quick printing an signing away any of our privacy rights. I found it odd how this information was published by a reporter working for the Post, while the Post was one of the focuses of the FBI and their investigation into reporters phone records.

Hitler and Stalin must be laughing in hell about how the nations of freedom that fought and gave so much to stop them now have surpassed all their wildest dreams of control.

If Money = Debt, What do we do?

After watching Zeitgiest: Addendum, many things spring to mind.

The US has learned how to use invisible money, “the principle”, and interest to control the poor into giving up their labor and tangible work. This allows controlling them into slavery where they feed and house themselves into debt. Again the Global Corporations, 40% which originated from the US have taken this debt/bullying/death tactics into the Global Market.

As a student in debt and struggling to better myself by achieving that BA which society claims to hold as a way to establish myself in this emergent society I can feel the grip of the system playing its role. Since my social skills are low compared to those who can use their abilities to communicate and convince those in ‘business’ that can aid them as being a valuable investment, I must go the route of educational investment.

This though costs money, which is really just debt. Therefore it seems that I have positioned my self to attain an imaginary level of convenience by creating that debt load to be paid off once my credentials are in place and I can attain a job/career where they will receive their payments, but really they don’t want their payments sooner, interest is where they can place me in their grip longer, like the tobacco companies and their success on that habit of mine. A whole life to pay rather than killing me quickly and ending my contributions.

This though has ramifications even backwards towards my parents. I couldn’t get a loan at first without someone to back me. All for the banks ability to collect their ‘donations’ and interest. Where is their backer though? Don’t they just make the money up digitally once they’ve given it to me? Why should my parents have to potentially become foreclosed, or threatened to take more mortgages out on property that has had the toil and labor and time and love that my parents have put into it.

These questions plague me, but are common as water and bread. It is by far a terrible system that is in place. Thoughts of changing it all and making a new form of society that allows for equality, freedom (as hard as that may be to define), life and health, happiness and safety from ‘evil’. These are easy to image but close to impossible to achieve unless with a wide source of disposible income and political connections.


“Profit” is something that sticks out and crawls along the skin like a flesh eating disease the most when applied to attempting these changes towards a political societies focus and goals for a competitive future. Scarcity has brought to birth the concept of ‘value’.What a shame.

2012 Concepts Gone Awry

It has been shown that our Changing Sun is tied to our changing weather and climate patterns on earth, the sun is the forefront of energy supply on earth. These flares are tied into such a larger galactic system. The Mayan calendar suggests that on December 21st 2012 when the winter solstice begins and our solar system will align for a major interplanetary eclipse and an unpredictable synchronicistic transfer of energy and gravity will bring upon true change. Be it the end of the world, an alien invasion, a jump in evolution on the biological, technological, psychological, and spiritual scale, or simple cosmic destruction.

This has been predicted, worshipped, and prophesized in ancient cultural works such as; The I Ching, the writings of Nostrodomus, The Bible, The Book of Ra, the Mayan calendar, the Wheel of the zodiac from 6th Century Greece, and The Vedas of Indian. All of which represent mythological explanations for the humanities experience of astrological time and earthly events.

The start of the age of Aquarius revels a hidden sign, the age of Ophiuchus, the snake holder. This is the thirteenth Zodaic sign. It coincides with the 2012 alignment and is located along the dark rift of the milky way galaxy.


These cosmic activities will more likely occur during the era of 2012 with a +/- of 50 years.. Astrophysics and astronomy have a thing about their calculations and hypothesizes, they can be like any other stab at probabilities’ and predictions, there is no 100% guarantee on anything. Quantum mechanics is currently enlightening us with that piece of the cosmic puzzle.

For example quantum mechanics has been used to theorize how it might be possible for John Hutchison’s claims that utilizing energy can be done to lift cannonballs and tap into zero-point energy. These are said to not be possible because they would be breaking the rules of thermodynamics. With quantum mechanics and string theory it is possible that the rules of physics can not always truly apply. All rules can be bent. Look at what Nikola Tesla did in 1888, his polyphase systems that would transfer alternate current across vast distances was destroyed by those that profited instead by using copper wire that would cost much more than wireless stations. This wireless expression of electrical power is currently being explored for contemporary use.


UFO’s are out there. The frequency of sightings is increasing. The governments of Mexico, France, and Turkey have released information of mass sightings. When we as a species of intelligent apes acknowledge that we are not alone in the universe and share with each other the information shared, stolen, or integrated from extraterrestrial beings will we be able to save ourselves at the least, our planet with all hope the best.

How does all this tie together though is what keeps me up and has me thinking. Maybe there will be a integration of all these events, an understanding of our realm of existence. A Singularity when galactic human achievement occurs by publicly working together to survive what is a major universal event in our shared galaxy.

The Recession is my Fault!

As a student I’ve come to realize that to achieve a Bachelor Degree based solely on loans and credit I shall come out at least $100,000 in debt. This I have found across North America to be the norm. Debt ridden students are not hard to come by and even plays a role in many satirical jokes around family tables.

I’ve also found that class structure in the academic pursuit pathway is still as rampant as ever. Coming across a few good websites for how to aid those in the lower class spectrum, the Coalition for Student Loan Fairness is one that seems to provide the most information and chances for change and becoming informed on the situation and process that Canada follows in its Student Loan Programs.

Alas but what does this have to do with the recession being my fault? That insight comes from the fact presented to me from my debt collectors FAQ. After explaining how peace of mind from profession debt collection services providing services to the consumer and the credit grantors and explaining how people from all walks of life end up on their lists, they give the wonderful advice to stay calm and realize just as consumers depend on their income to survive so do credit grantors depend on their loans being paid to continue their business as a successful practice.

This I can agree upon as a state of how the economy works. Ignoring the fact that monetary funds and credit card companies fueling the problem of throwing people (like myself) access to funds that they have no real means to achieve. Keeping us in debt for years to come.

What really sparked my emotions was the last question and response which is stated as follows.

How does bad debt affect the economy?

Because businesses need to cut losses, the cost of bad debt is often deflected by raising consumer prices. Since there is a limit to how high prices can be increased before business begin losing customers, bad debt also results in business failures and job loss.

To me this implies that the backlash from my bad debt and lacking a moral will to pay off that which was foolishly given to me in the first place by the MasterCard is a contributing factor in the recent degradation of our global economy and the resulting recession. To those that have lost their jobs and businesses I apologize. Not to you individually but to the system as a whole that functions in this backwards idea that to make everything fluid and productive we need to facilitate the money lenders and allow them to raise more digital dollars.

The recession is not my fault. It’s the systems of stocks and bonds, and loans and debt that are the cause. Please don’t humor me. I may be young and brash, against the status quo, but I am not a man made of magical money. I do not have family with buckets of stored information of money made. I, like millions out there in the world, am striving to better myself and my future, at least cut me some slack on insulting my intelligence.

Movable Workforces.

Today I heard The Honorable Jean Charest, the Premier of Quebec, speak a little news blurb on CTV after the Premiers all gathered in Quebec City and had discussed the various business and public agendas of the topics at hand. For majority of the issues they seemed to be pulled together and agreed with each other on what direction is to be taken, oh but wait. There is a conflict that arises among them. Climate change. Of coarse, the most up front ‘green’ issue that is present in today’s collective mind happens to be the one where directions are differed.
Yet, an excellent point was made in that blurb, almost in an irrelevant passing. He mentions the workforce and that citizens should “fulfill their lives to very meaningful work.” He points to the ability to move around to where work is needs to be simplified Federally, for it takes 13 municipal, provincial and federal permits for one to be an undertaker.

On the other end of the spectrum though, the Supreme Court has found that companies can enforce mandatory retirement as long as an adequate pension plan is supplied. So it stands that those who are more than willing to “fulfill their lives to very meaningful work” and continue on past their healthy 65 to add into their pension simply can do it at a new job.

Militant Haloesque and MaidBots?

Measure of power is that by how many people you can make work for you.
That was then.
Now not so much.
How many peoples life's you can crush and the amount of production that you control, regardless of what that production entails seems more industrially appropriate.
Better than bad, good = no production costs that still brings out a profit. All economy for dummies know this, even their friends.
Digital bubbles form, creating digital money, transferred across a sea of informational servers and protected firewall barriers. That was only the beginning.
Forgetting it without people, that's never a good thing.
Manufactured machines, bacterial food production plants, cloned pets, designer babies, and MaidBots with optional SexSlave2.8 programming and parts.

Too far ahead, step back a moment, before Halo became real.
Universal political action anywhere nearer then before? Aren’t we supposed to be globally connected?
Connected to whom and for what again?
Purposes and motivations are relevant.
Conclusion, measure of power is how many networks you control, both the analog and digital.

Directionality of choice.

I personally feel that modern technology has, and is, an extremely large effect on our brains. From the individual influences of searching the internet for personal interests, to the global society and the new geometry of power that is present throughout all global networks.

Information technologies are an advancing field with new aspects emerging every day. This has caused the choices that we are thrown into to go up exponentially, no other generation before us has had to deal with such a thing. A new form of global civil society is allowing people to become self organized around the world, for both the good and the bad. A new creative class has been created and jobs in digital manipulation is another growing field.

On the individual cognitive level, many new forms and patterns are being seen. One is the new way we handle and store our information. There is less emphasis in knowing all the details, there is always Google and spell check to back you up. A holistic view is becoming more and more present in western thought as the internet gives a first hand experience of the complex connections between ideas and people through out space and time.

I was once told that the best thing to emerge out of the internet is the ability to acquire information, theory's, and conclusions that can take lifetimes to gather the data and ponder over. Once someone has presented their thoughts to a digital medium it can last as long as the satellites keep orbiting.

Then there is the biotechnologies that are creating more cures, more options, and more issues then the legal policies can keep up with. It can make the head spin sometimes.
As individuals we now have access to the evolution of the universe. The future direction of this evolution depends on the choices we, as individuals, communities, and the collective whole, are going to have to make and are making every day.

What you say during an election is not legally binding.

Leadership is that step above meditation. Similarly using the same methods. Turning the inward attention outwards and actively shaping the collective attention, to a tune which is deemed important by the leader. His aims towards the control and influence upon the publics lifestyles.

Within this broad political landscape we have become expectant that those that assume the role of representation have our best interests involved. Truthfully though, how many genuine philanthropists are actually out there, let alone running for office. Going forward with regulated eyes towards the forces of intrinsic dignity and nobility (not in the blood sense) is lacking within this society, maybe all western and developed societies.

There are a few who campaign for the betterment of all, those leaders maybe are on the right path, but what they follow and establish is only just still their beliefs, their map of their goals. A map though is not really how things are, the only true exact map is the 'plane' which it is based off.

Take this graph for example.

Focused on A and B (like the skeptics of global warming's existence most often do) it seems that natural and anthropogenic factors as individuals do not explain the results we are experiencing within the global climate. Yet when one blends the two together the points seem to connect. For another clear example check out the Inconvinent Truth, it may be political but damn Gore has some good focused issues that he tends to shape quite well collectively. Or in hindsight, it was that he realized what the collective focus was and fed upon that to utilize the populations attention.

It is more definitive. But again, only a map. Professionals within all the diverse topics involved admit that there is still much missing from the overall picture. That is because the full picture is truly not attainable. The main objective should be to the effects of choosing a direction that we are going to take and follow through with it. As long as we are attempting something full of dignity and nobility.

"Head up my boy, Look forward."

The Wilmot Clan Loves Dildos

The world seems to be getting smaller and more interesting every day. As an English student, I have the lovely honour of sitting in a small classroom in the basement of a building built around the turn of the 19th century...chalk board and drafty windows still intact. This would be the site of the 4th year seminar I must endure every Friday at the ungodly early hour of 9:30am.

Anyway, we were all discussing the Earl of Rochester's satiric poem, "Satyr Against Reason and Mankind", when out of the blue a friend of mine exclaimed "Oh yeah! I'm related to him!". This sparked a lengthy debate as to the validity of such a claim...but as Brandon explained his impressive lineage, I became convinced that he was telling the truth. Imagine! A descendant to the Earl of Rochester!

For all those who don't know this historically quirky courtier, here is a brief synopsis: He was thrown out of the English court a number of times in the late 17th and early 18th century, yet was always ushered back in since he was oh! so charming and charismatic. He was notoriously promiscuous, a regular Casanova of his time, bedding both men and women (he was a nobleman after all). His poems were as expressive and quirky as his antics in court, and he was quite outspoken with issues relating to religion, literature (pose), mankind's place in the universe, government, and of course...sex. One poem in particular, entitled "Signor Dildo" was first written in 1673, and published in 1703. I have copied it here for your enjoyment:

Signior Dildo
John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester
Edited by Jack Lynch

You Ladyes all of Merry England
Who have been to kisse the Dutchesse's hand,
Pray did you lately observe in the Show
A Noble Italian call'd Signior Dildo?
The Signior was one of her Highness's Train [5]
And helpt to Conduct her over the Main,
But now she Crys out to the Duke I will go,
I have no more need for Seignior Dildo.
At the Signe of the Crosse in Saint James's Street,
When next you go thither to make your Selfes Sweet, [10]
By Buying of Powder, Gloves, Essence, or Soe
You may Chance get a Sight of Signior Dildo.
You'l take him at first for no Person of Note
Because he appears in a plain Leather Coat:
But when you his virtuous Abilities know [15]
You'll fall down and Worship Signior Dildo.
My Lady Southesk, Heav'ns prosper her for't,
First Cloath'd him in Satten, then brought him to Court;
But his Head in the Circle, he Scarcely durst Show,
So modest a Youth was Signior Dildo. [20]
The good Lady Suffolk thinking no harm,
Had got this poor Stranger hid under her Arm:
Lady Betty by Chance came the Secret to know,
And from her own Mother, Stole Signior Dildo:
The Countesse of Falmouth, of whom People tell [25]
Her Footmen wear Shirts of a Guinea an Ell:
Might Save the Expence, if she did but know
How Lusty a Swinger is Signior Dildo.
By the Help of this Gallant the Countesse of Rafe
Against the feirce Harris preserv'd her Self Safe: [30]
She Stifl'd him almost beneath her Pillow,
So Closely she imbrac'd Signior Dildo.
Our dainty fine Dutchesse's have got a Trick
To Doat on a Fool, for the Sake of his Prick,
The Fopps were undone, did their Graces but know [35]
The Discretion and vigor of Signior Dildo.
That Pattern of Virtue, her Grace of Cleaveland,
Has Swallow'd more Pricks, then the Ocean has Sand,
But by Rubbing and Scrubbing, so large it do's grow,
It is fit for just nothing but Signior Dildo. [40]
The Dutchesse of Modena, tho' she looks high,
With such a Gallant is contented to Lye:
And for fear the English her Secrets shou'd know,
For a Gentleman Usher took Signior Dildo.
The countess of the Cockpit (who knows not her Name) [45]
She's famous in Story, for a Killing Dame:
When all her old Lovers forsake her I Trow
She'l then be contented with Signior Dildo.
Red Howard, Red Sheldon, and Temple so tall
Complain of his absence so long from Whitehall: [50]
Signior Barnard has promis'd a Journy to goe,
And bring back his Countryman Signior Dildo.
Doll Howard no longer with his Highness must Range,
And therefore is profer'd this Civill Exchange:
Her Teeth being rotten, she Smells best below, [55]
And needs must be fitted for Signior Dildo.
St Albans with Wrinkles and Smiles in his Face
Whose kindnesse to Strangers, becomes his high Place,
In his Coach and Six Horses is gone to Pergo,
To take the fresh Air with Signior Dildo. [60]
Were this Signior but known to the Citizen Fopps
He'd keep their fine Wives from the Foremen of Shops,
But the Rascalls deserve their Horns shou'd Still grow,
For Burning the Pope, and his Nephew Dildo.
Tom Killigrews wife, North Hollands fine Flower, [65]
At the Sight of this Signior, did fart, and Belch Sow'r,
And her Dutch Breeding farther to Show,
Says welcome to England, myn Heer Van Dildo.
He civilly came to the Cockpitt one night,
And profer'd his Service to fair Madam Knight, [70]
Quoth she, I intrigue with Captain Cazzo
Your Nose in myne Arse good Seignior Dildo.
This Signior is sound, safe, ready, and Dumb,
As ever was Candle, Carret, or Thumb:
Then away with these nasty devices, and Show [75]
How you rate the just merits of Signior Dildo.
Count Cazzo who carryes his Nose very high,
In Passion he Swore, his Rivall shou'd Dye,
Then Shutt up himself, to let the world know,
Flesh and Blood cou'd not bear it from Signior Dildo. [80]
A Rabble of Pricks, who were welcome before,
Now finding the Porter deny'd 'em the Door,
Maliciously waited his coming below,
And inhumanely fell on Signior Dildo.
Nigh weary'd out, the poor Stranger did fly [85]
And along the Pallmall, they follow'd full Cry,
The Women concern'd from every Window,
Cry'd, Oh! for Heavn's sake save Signior Dildo.
The good Lady Sandys, burst into a Laughter
To see how the Ballocks came wobbling after, [90]
And had not their weight retarded the Fo
Indeed 't had gone hard with Signior Dildo.

Ron Paul’s missed function.

According to Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek, the most important aspect of Hugo Chavez's political legacy is his inclusion of Venezuela's enormous, poor, displaced, slum-dwelling population into the political realm. Regardless of one's opinions on the policies championed by the Chavez administration this fact cannot be downplayed. Millions of people who previously had no political voice are now an enormous factor in Venezuela's democratic process. During the first three years of the Chavez administration the government created a new constitution that was put out to popular vote. In Venezuela's poorest communities an unprecedented degree of political consciousness erupted. Chapters and clubs started popping up everywhere called "Bolivarian circles." The meet-ups and groups are run by citizens of Venezuela with the purpose of informing and educating people about their rights and their constitution.

Concrete proof that political consciousness and activism had reached a historic high was displayed in 2002 when a U.S. backed coup briefly threw Chavez out of power. As the self-proclaimed interim government took power and announced to Venezuelan's that their institutions where being dissolved, hundreds of thousands of people poured out of the Caracas slums and stormed upon the capital. People demanded that their president be put back in power. Film of the event showed people, from sects of society that were previously excluded from political activity, telling camera men that the president could only be taken out of office with a referendum. What more proof is needed to show that the most important aspect to maintaining a free and fair society is education and awareness?

As the 2008 U.S. presidential race approaches we should keep this in mind. Knowledge of our constitutional rights and our founding principles are at a seemingly all time low. The current mainstream national discourse is the only thing that needs to be examined to know that today's most disastrous trends will continue regardless of which “front-runner" ends up in the White House. The key issues that are affecting America and the world as we know it are not being discussed by any of the candidates. The inflationary spending and massive debt that is destroying the U.S. dollar and economy is not something that the mainstream candidates will address. State sovereignty is all but disappearing and being replaced by centralized federal policy. America's foreign policy has become more openly hostile and unprincipled than ever before and American citizens are not nearly as safe today as they feel because of it.

The American constitution is truly a revolutionary historical document. It is truly the only thing that binds Americans together. We do not share a common cultural or ethnic identity/history, we share the constitution and a belief in the principles it puts forth. Unfortunately the American constitution has been forgotten for all practical purposes. Today it functions in a similar fashion to that of Britain's Queen; People love to pay lip service to it but for political purposes it has become irrelevant. The size and power of the current federal government would be an impossible nightmare to the architects of the constitution. The constitution provides a system of checks and balances to keep any one branch of government from becoming too powerful but today we no longer have de-centralized state and local power, we have an unconstitutional income tax, we have unconstitutional undeclared wars that have thousands and thousands of innocent victims. We have a monetary and economic system that makes life harder on Americans every year. The founders of the constitution stated that the dollar must be backed by gold and silver so that the money supply could not be inflated and manipulated and today inflation is wiping out America's middle class and making the price of living skyrocket. I could keep going.

This brings me to Ron Paul. This presidential candidate is honest, principled, and still believes that the constitution should guide policy making in America. For these reasons as well as others, the 72 year old representative from Texas has no chance of being America's next president. The constitution was put in place to guarantee that no person or class of people have more influence on exercising power in America than the next one of us. Since the constitution went out the window years ago a power structure has taken control of American policy making that remains invisible to most Americans. This class of people benefit hugely by controlling American foreign and domestic policy. The same group of people also controls media and communications so that this takeover of our government remains unknown to most of us even though it’s been going on for years. Ron Paul challenges this fact not by accusations and rhetoric but by asking people to read our constitution and by pointing out the blatant and obvious contradictions of power that may have not have always been so obvious to us. Ron Paul will not be in the White House next year but his campaign is still of the upmost importance. As demonstrated in Venezuela, the only thing that can save the democratic process is knowledge and education.

A huge movement has come under way with the Ron Paul campaign. He is drawing crowds by the thousands all over the country despite being shunned by the mainstream media and people are waking up everywhere. People who had no intention of voting in America's sham elections have all of the sudden found a voice, Democrats and Republicans are uniting behind Ron Paul. America will continue down its disastrous path but finally there are seeds of hope. He is gaining popularity by the second as people discover him and his message and the consciousness that is so desperately needed to save America from oblivion is spreading. This will be Ron Paul's political legacy and hopefully one day historians will look at what is happening right now as the start of a huge and important movement that developed into a national phenomenon of Americans re-asserting their political legacy of freedom and responsibility.

Every nation is currently seeing sects of its society resisting globalization in favor or reasserting national sovereignty. This can be seen as the beginning of America's movement against the erasing of our borders and the erosion of our freedoms and when things get really bad, which they will, it will be the ideas that we remembered from now that will act as a platform for the resistance.
