Stressin'

Stress is all around, and it is a major concern in the majority of people today. Besides unhealthy food, which physically depreciates, causing psychological effects, there are numerous stress generating sources. The biggest that I've seen, and also felt recently, is money. Money, quite simply, is a hassle. I'm not saying money is a bad thing, it's purpose and intent are constructive and efficient in structurally maintaining prosperous economies.

It is the use, distribution, and value of money that has become a problem. We, the people, are trained to first learn how to walk, then communicate, then we go through a corporate..., err, federally implemented education system (in which our minds are closed to the theories and information we are taught) and then it is up to us to work our asses off, forty hours a week, and with wages that are, in a lot of cases (especially today), nearly impossible to live off of (especially if debt is taken into consideration). If you are one who decides to get a higher level of education (I made that choice) you are offered higher paying jobs. Once you spend your few thousand to few hundred thousand on educational fees, you graduate so many years into your adulthood, forced to find any job to pay back the loans from school. We work until the age of 65, in which we retire, feeble and rundown, unable to fully grasp the joys of life, especially since so many people have been forced to stress on surviving, rather than living. Not to mention, all the wear and tear from food, fluoridated water, and unhealthy living conditions.

While millions, billions of people slave away, every day, all day, just to make ends meet, there are thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of individuals, organizations, corrupt "Authority officials" reaping the benefits, become billionaires, and no sharing a dime with the needy. In fact, in most cases, these "organizations" and "Authority figures" have caused mass death, or allowed it to take place. They have even occupied, or sponsored occupations, in mineral and oil rich nations. The problem isn't necessarily money, its where it is, who has it, and how much they have. All of it has to do with corruption and greed. Money isn't the only reason I've been stressing, but its been a big contribution. Logically, I think there's something wrong with what the definition of money is today, simply, it should be worth more than it is. It's value should actual have meaning, real definitive importance.

The Food Deceit

Recently, while stumbling around on YouTube and GoogleVideo, I came across and interesting video that discussed the imagery of food. There is a simple difference between nutritious, healthy food and that of unhealthy, even nauseating, junk that most of us, on a rather constant basis, fill our body with. The problem doesn't fully lay on the amount that is consumed, although the majority of people eat way too much of it. The problem is more logically involved in the portrayal, availability and in retrospect demand of both.

"Junk food" is everywhere, at every corner, in every direction. Where ever you gaze there is a McDonalds, Wendy's, or some form of fast food joint located in the vicinity. Not only is it such an available option for meals or snacks, the media , and especially lately, has always featured the biggest, richest of the fast food chains. Not only are they featured on the most watched programs and events, they are also given appealing images, including sexuality, to feed their addictiveness (and they are, quite literally, addictive).

One of my favorite moments in the following documentary is when the term "Soul Food" is used to describe healthy, wholesome food. It make sense. And there's a reason why one group is referring to the Soul, while the other is called Junk. Each food group gives our body different reactions. There is a reason why fresh vegetables and fruit are so full of vitamins and minerals, important to our body. Just like, for centuries, people have made mention of a rather "lighter, small" consumption of meat. Religion, throughout history, have shown corresponding messages. Now, think about processed foods, literally, food is being "processed." It becomes semi(in some cases fully)-artificial, simulated nourishment. There is simply and logically a difference between the negative reactions from unhealthy, Junk food, and the positive reactions from healthy, Soul food.

The Deception

Recently, the newly elected President passed a $700 billion dollar bail-out plan to fix the financial distress of America, using tax money from it's hardworking citizens. The American economy is currently facing a crisis, some are saying its effects are comparable or even worse than the Great Depression and that it is the fault of former President, George W. Bush. The thing is, it is not technically his fault, it is though in the reasoning of him being the "elected official which represents the best interests of the American people." George W. Bush did lie to the people of America, but he is most known for his stupidity. All of it, an act. Sean Penn, Daniel Day-Lewis, Forest Whitaker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jamie Foxx, and Adrien Brody don't deserve the Oscars, even though they did some amazing performances. No, the Best Actor award should have continuously been given to George W. Bush. The more dumb he appeared, the more forgiving people were for his mistakes. Sure, people have limits with their toleration, but someone known for making mistakes is usually given more leeway in the mistakes they make, since it is a common aspect of that individual.

Barrack Obama was the new face, representing change and security to the American people. He promised to pull the troops out of Iraq within six months, promised to save the ailing economy and restore the foundation of Patriotism and the Constitution by abolishing the Patriot Act. Since his inauguration Obama has continuously changed his statements about pull troops from Iraq, the time raising to 16 then to 23 months. Following that, he stated not all the troops would be taken out and there would be more troops being placed into Afghanistan. There goes a promise of Peace in the Middle East but instead further occupation.

Obama's next promise, saving the economy, is quite the deceiving situation. He is, after all, quite the public speaker, able to move the masses with his words and charisma. People believe everything he says, as a beacon of hope. His entire administration consists of Wall Street executives and other individuals closely tied to the Federal Reserve, including his Presidential Advisor, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve. On national television Alan Greenspan publicly stated that the Federal Reserve is literally above the law and that they control the flow of the money and the economy according to however they perceive is the best method. Ben Bernanke, chairman of the F.R., is considered the 4th most powerful figure in the world.

The Presidency is the greatest deception created, and the people who play the role are the greatest actors. Now, I'm not saying every single President that has been in power has been corrupted, but I'd say the majority of their administration and involvement, whether conscious or not, was corrupted. The Federal Reserve caused America to be bankrupt since the 1930s and has since only been making Wall Street and companies such as AIG, JPMorgan Chase and all the major banks and financial companies protected and prosperous, leaving the American people to slave away for their benefit. Think about it: Military Industrial Complex, Social Security Numbers, Wall Street running the White House. The new Best Actor award should be handed from George to Obama. Watch the following movie

Ignorance is Bliss?

I have been wondering lately if ignorance truly is bliss, or if that is a term that was created, such as the term terrorism. Simply put; people who are ignorant believe to be in a blissful state because of their inability to become fully aware of the facts. The little information, which is usually preferred by the ignorant, that is given is sufficient, regardless of the biased or illogical aspects of what is being presented. People who are ignorant lose a lot about themselves, as I have found, because they have closed their minds so tightly that they are unable to see reality. Therefore, they become enclosed in a false world of lies and deceit.

How can someone who lies to them self ever be truly in a state of bliss? Logically and simply put, they can't. It is even worse once the entire concept of ignorance is incorporated and collaborated with lack of education, or rather, stupidity. Now, much of the "stupidity" or people can be put to blame on the knowledge we are taught and the education system itself. People are unable to open their minds to anything other than what they are told, because that is what we in the western world are taught and told to become. It appears to me that everything that is right is wrong, everything in society is backwards. Justice is blind (and I don't mean it in the terms it is meant to be in, rather it is literally blinded by corruption), ignorance is bliss, and fluoride is in our water.

Here is a video portraying the stupidity of people.

Americans are NOT stupid - WITH SUBTITLES.

Here is a list of the ten most corrupt politicians.

Israel's West Bank Mines Are Illegal

Israel's oil mines in West Bank are illegal and that they are breaking more International Laws with their operations in Palestinian territory. Of course, and as always, the Israeli government denied the accusations claiming they were within International Law boundaries. The accusations also include exploiting the occupied territory for its own gain. More illegal activity on an International scale by Israel and more denial on Israel's part.

Historical Terrorism Part 2

My next point is a person, Osama bin Laden. This is, literally, the face of Terrorism. One man, symbolizing an entire entity. The term terrorist has been used over the course of our history, but until 9/11, it has never had the significance that it does today, thanks to the United States of America and its media/entertainment. There are several ironic events and facts that seem to conflict with this terrorist and his terrorist acts against the United States that I would like to address.

To begin, Osama was trained and paid by the United States, specifically the CIA (Central Intelligent Agency). It was estimated that his yearly salary was $10 million. Quite the paycheck for anyone, especially if you take into consideration he comes from one of the richest and most influential families in the oil industry, which is also tied closely to the Bush family.

Osama was created by America to use as an image to illustrate fear, to taint the world's perspective on a culture and religion, and to give America reason to invade the countries that they have. I have written about Osama previously, the facts are all visible. There are logical questions that the United States avoids answering, such as; Why were they able to catch Saddam Hussein so quickly, yet they are unable to locate their biggest threat, Osama? Why would a man who was so closely tied, trained by their CIA (also, the training grounds in Afghanistan for the Al-Queda were created and funded by the U.S.), and also payed for ten years, suddenly decide to blow up two towers (and call all of the Jewish employees to not go into work, the day of the "attack") ? What was his logical motive?

The biggest problem that I have with what has happened is the outcome, the deception. Since this terrorist attack took place the United States has occupied three (Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine through Israel) nations, all which are high in oil production, which we all know produces mass amounts of wealth for only a few people. During the occupation the death rate in Iraq has increased (they took Saddam Hussein partially because the violence he caused), and if you add Afghanistan and Palestine, hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have died at the hands of an injust war. The worst problem the world is currently facing, especially involving deceit, is the image that media and entertainment has given towards Islam, Muslims and people who reside in the Middle East. Today, an entire religion and people have been given a false depiction, a false relation towards Terrorism, because of the apparent actions of ONE man and a few handfuls of followers. What American and the Western World has done is falsely tainted the image of what Islam truly is in order to justify their actions and properly control the situations they are attempting to handle overseas. What is logical about that? The only logical thing behind this illusive and misleading repesentation is simple: If people believe Islam and all Muslims are terrorists than they will support the War on Terror.

The only thing this war has done is caused terror on both the religion and it's followers. It has created fear amongst the Western World and allowed the United States to pursue and occupy the nations it desires. They have talked about stopping this war since it began, yet currently Obama Administration stated that they are looking at both Iran and Pakistan at being threats. The real and true threat is America, even to its own people. Look at the history, flouridated water, AIDs, Religion, Patriot Act, etc.

Historical Terrorism Part 1

There's a few people and terrorizing moments in the history of humanity that I'd like to address. And since there's some recent discussion on nuclear weaponry, I'll begin with that.

America, the largest producing nation of Nuclear and White Phosphorus (highly controversial, yet used by Israel [From U.S.] against Lebanon and Palestine) weapons, is the only nation to use Nuclear weaponry, in which they did so, killing approximately 250,000 civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The exact number of deaths is hard to estimate due to the post-bombing effects that take place, including cancer from the radiation. This was a very terrorizing moment in the history of humanity, and the American government let the Japanese people know of how terrifying it would be, and still followed through. This is what they sent to the Japanese civilians, sending chills through each of their spins before they were dropped another bomb on Nagasaki.

"We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2,000 of our giant B-29s can carry on a single mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you it is grimly accurate. We have just begun to to use this weapon against your homeland. If you still have any doubt, make inquiry as to what happened to Hiroshima when just one atomic bomb fell on that city."

Now, I understand that this was a part of a retaliation on the Pearl Harbor bombings. But what I don't understand is the only times America has been attacked, they, the superpower, were made to look like impotent, defenseless idiots. The nation, with the best air radar, detection and security has each time been unable to do anything about their attacks. First, some thousand airplanes, maybe a hundred ships or more, are moving over the ocean, and America is unable to detect them and defend themselves. Then, two hijacked planes crash into two towers in America's largest city, and they are both unable to defend themselves. At each point in time America was able to gain the peoples support in fighting a war. The Nazi's were considered horrible, terrorizing people, America's enemy. America terrorized Japan by being the only nation to use not one but two nuclear weapons.
