Can civil unrest happen in America? It has in the past, "The Civil War", probably was the largest. A few riots here and there from Labor strikes; oh, the Native American massacres! Then during the Vietnam War, hippies and draft-dodging, anti-war protesters caused some mischief. Let's not forget the African-American riots in 1968, etc.
So there has been unrest, a little violence, but no real Government response or put down of the insurrection by armed force, like in Libya and the other Middle East countries at the current time. Can it happen?
The military takes an oath to protect America from all forces, both foreign and domestic...which may include 'you'! The USA has obviously lots of guns in the hands of civilians...but the military has 'stuff'...intelligence, tanks, fighter jets, the NSA, CIA, & FBI. I doubt a bunch of 20 something's would get very far in armed rebellion against the Federal Government.
But discuss among yourselves, what US President in the last 100 years, would most likely resort to armed military response to a massive civilian armed protest?

Some Thoughts
OK, the world is going to hell.
What if: What if the entire world events are exactly as the Bible, Koran, and Talmud explains and writes?
Dogma slobbers all over your rug!
2012 is the End and there is no replay or escape!
WTF?
What the hell is up with Liberals? Since 1970 they have been clueless and dumb fucks, asshole hippies and anarchists! I say, just shoot them like rats & mad dogs...oh wait, that would be Qaddafi!
I feel sorry for the 4 Billion humans that will die in the next 18 months! Oops!

The Middle East Unrest...Armageddon in Training?
Since Egypt's ouster of Mubarak, the Middle East has continued to self-detruct. Country after country are having unrest, protests, and yes, even deaths.
In a supreme move of utter stupidity, Iran has sent two navel warships through the Suez Canal to prop up Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria. Israel does not like this. Well, duh!
Where is this going in the next few days or months? Can this be Armageddon in training?

Beggars Evidently Can Be Choosers!
Portland has hundreds of young, 17-25 year old "street people". Many are hyped on Meth or other drugs, bouncing around like preschoolers! They'll sit on sidewalks for hours with their little cardboard signs, begging for money, supposedly for food. Portland, however has dozens of "Soup Kitchens", all over the city serving from breakfast to dinner!
So one asks me yesterday for money so he can eat I say back to him, "Dude, there is free food all over the city!" His reply? "Not right here!" Lazy little asshole!
If these were my kids, I'd kick their ass for begging and being slackers (watch "Portlandia", it's all true). And yes, most have Pitt Bulls. If they can't take care of themselves, how can they maintain a dog (unlicensed & probably no shots).

World Collapse Continues Since Last Post:
I Tweet so much, I no longer blog. My bad. My recent bout with the evil "Flu' had me glued to the TV watching violence in Egypt and killer snow storms. Of course the average layman has not noticed this has gotten steadily worse over the last 18 months, getting even worse at 2012 approaches. I am not making this up...please Google stuff...read, research...events in the world are at all time highs of violence, and natural disasters of historical proportions.
What can you do? Nothing...it is ordained, part of prophecy... as it is written, it shall be done. But you can't bury your head in the sand or ignore it either. Ignorance is not bliss. Who knows, knowledge may be power, it may matter after all.

2011...The Chaos Continues!
"Biblical Sized Floods in Australia; epic winter storms in the US and Europe; earthquakes; mysterious bird and fish deaths; diseases like "bird flu" and "hoof & mouth" in Korea; murder/suicides abound; war and rumors of war....these are all signs of "The Warning"

"What Happens when all Hope is Gone?"
The dictionary defines hope thus: 1. To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment. 2. Archaic To have confidence; trust. It is this almost fundamental desire or wish that keeps mankind on the road to civilization. No batter how bad one's circumstances are at any given moment in time, one looks with hope at a better future. But what happens when all hope is gone? A better future is not only out of the question, but also perhaps even impossible to achieve? Hope is then replaced with anguish, despair, depression, and hope-less-ness! The road to civilization, instead of being paved with asphalt, is paved with blood and tears. That road is a dead end. Without hope, there is only death!

"The Warning" and the Calendar
A few months back I made the film, "The Warning", after thinking that the dates of 10-10-10 and 11-11-11 may be significant in regards to the End Days date of 12-21-12, which signifies the end of the Myan Calendar or as some believe, the End of Time.
The other night I realized that Western Civilisation has messed with Calendars since the Mayan timeline was made. The Gregorian Calendar and the Julian Calendar are not the same. There is 10-13 days difference between the dates of the two calendars.
So the possibly significant date of 10-10-10 and 11-11-11 could be in a 13 day range. Hence the Cholera outbreak in Haiti, tsunami-earthquake-volcanic eruption, massive Midwest storms, etc could fall within this range. In effect, "The Warning" may still be valid, Perhaps everyone should take another look!

The Myth of Democracy
When, if ever, will the American people wake up from their ‘drunken stupor’ like thinking that they live in a democracy? America is a republic, where people get usually only two choices in which to pick from an elite scorecard of characters.
What is democratic about unlimited terms of service, appointed officials, or an untenable recall system?
To call a choice between the better of two evils democracy is close to labeling it the same as faith or hope; a myth both in reality and in the minds of the hapless voters!

10-11-10 We're Still Here!
Well my "vibe"...passing thought, etc. that 10-10-10- or 11-11-11 would be a significant date in the count down to Armageddon on 12-21-12 was a miss. Good news for thousand of potential fatalities. It was after all, just a random thought while watching TV.
It was fun to put together "The Warning", a film from "Revision 13 Productions" another of my blog and hobby site. Of course no one..me..wanted anything BAD to happen. Wink, wink.
Now the next potential disaster.the mid-term elections of 2010, in about 3 weeks. Vote Republican, and vote often!

Random Thoughts for October 2010
It's been a month of so since I posted my short film "The Warning". As time tics down on 10-10-10, there is now a terror alert for Europe, several volcano's in Indonesia have erupted, and many Earthquakes of 5.0+ have been recorded. It is interesting to watch, something that was a minor thought one day, come to be.
I am amazed at the number of people on the right who are focused on living the Constitution of the US to the letter. Is this much different than living the words and laws of the Bible to the letter? Should there not be an "Update" for a document written over 200+ years ago? ...and no, Amendments are not that update.
The world is plummeting further into the abyss of financial and economic disaster, the problem as I've said many years ago, is too big to fix. God, nature, and human depravity will fix it. There are just 4Billion too many people.
Many times in the past, I have said that the only thing holding the US and most of the western world together is "HOPE". When that is gone, kiss the rest goodbye to race riots, class wars, food riots, etc.
Well those are Octobers thoughts for now...but then again, it's only October 4th.

"The Warning"
The Warning
I have often Blogged about 2012, The End Times, The Apocalypse, The Return of The Feathered Serpent, The Change, Earth Shift, etc. It is something I believe in, and like to warn people about, if only to have them think about the possibility that it may happen.
Today’s Headlines include vast forest fires in Russia, floods and landslides in Pakistan, India, and China, shortages of wheat and rice in the near future, and record heat waves throughout the world are only part of the warning signs that the majority of people have ignored so far.
The ancient civilizations that existed before the last ice age, and the science created by the Aztecs, Mayans, Egyptians and other more recent civilizations have all predicted the current climate with relative mathematical precision. Star and planetary alignments in 2012 are a fact. However, to get people’s attention, perhaps a more significant warning may be necessary.
Many predictions of the last days involve a comet or asteroid. An impact by a one-mile in diameter iron/nickel rock in the ocean would perhaps get every one’s attention. A comet that appears very bright and perhaps “green” in color may also come to pass. These signs herald the end time’s folks. Pay attention.
“What can I do to prevent this?”, you may ask. Nothing, but you can prepare. You have life insurance, car insurance, etc. Why not be prepared for these calamities? As the time approaches, get out of major cities, away from any seacoast, earthquake faults, dormant volcanoes, etc. Get a “72 Hr Kit” for each person in your family. You’ve had since Y2K to do this. I’ve had one since then. Supplies will get short and more expensive as the clock strikes down. Did you try to buy batteries on December 31, 1999? There weren’t any!
I suggest that these “obvious” warnings would occur during the last quarter of 2010 and again in 2011. The degrees of disaster will increase until the winter solstice of 2012 (12-21-12).
Hello out there? Are you paying attention?

Sharia Law: Already In The United States?
by: Rob Stanley
Remember this little nugget of genius from Hollywood scholar Cameron Diaz during the 2004 election cycle? : "We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies…if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote."
This was part of a rambling and obviously inane monologue Diaz gave on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2004 as she plugged both Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and John Kerry for POTUS. Pundits tried to defend her diatribe by saying she was expressing her support for Kerry's pro-abortion views. How that translates into "legal rape," I do not know. She should probably just stick to film scripts.
Well, Bush won after all that and rape still isn't legal. In truth, it's closer to being legal under Hollywood's darling Obama six years later than it ever was under W.
In New Jersey last year, family court judge Joseph Charles ruled against a woman's request for a restraining order against her ex-husband who she claimed sexually abused her. Judge Charles said he believed the man was behaving according to his Muslim beliefs, and that he didn't have "the criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault" her.
The woman testified that her husband repeatedly forced her to have sex with him, telling her he could do anything he wanted to her because she was his wife and, as such, forced to submit. Judge Charles ruled that the husband's behavior "was something that was consistent with his practices and…not prohibited."
Here, Judge Charles indirectly referred to Sharia law, the sacred law of Islam and, Muslims believe, the direct will of Allah. According to Sharia, women are considered inferior to men, and as such have fewer rights. In fact, a woman counts as half a man in giving evidence in a court of law. A husband has the right and the duty, both morally and religiously, to beat his wives (yes, they practice polygamy) for disobedience or misbehavior, however weak the evidence may be. A woman does not have the right to choose her husband, where she will live, or the clothes she will wear. She also cannot travel freely unless accompanied by a male relative.
Under this law, women are never independent from the fathers, brothers, husbands, and other men in their families. One of the most common punishments for women for adultery or other misconduct is the horrific and primitive practice of public stoning, sometimes at the hands of family members. In short, Sharia maintains the extreme patriarchy of the Islamic world.
However, the feminist voices have been practically silent on this issue. It seems "legal rape" disappears as soon as a Democrat is in office. But as Judge Charles has demonstrated, this is not so.
While judges try to respect various belief systems, as Judge Charles did here, they risk condoning Sharia law in the United States. In fact, a law proposed in Oklahoma, which will be on the November ballot there, would ban judges from considering international or Sharia law in their rulings. The fact that the issue is even being considered should scare everyone. We can only hope that Oklahomans have the good sense to uphold this ban, because without it, Sharia law would be allowed in America's courts.
Our autonomous justice system should not be considering international and Sharia law. That's a sure first step to losing our sovereignty and becoming part of a global community with amorphous boundaries, which the left and Obama would enjoy more than we proud Americans can imagine or believe. If immigrants want to take advantage of all the God-given rights and freedoms we Americans enjoy, defended through the decades by brave men and women, they must accept that they are under the jurisdiction of our justice system based on equal rights. In fact, the primary catalyst of the liberation of Muslim women as well as the safeguarding of American sovereignty will be the obliteration of Sharia wherever it is practiced.

How many of us are sick and tired of hearing the same news week after week, a media orgasmic frenzy on the missing child, the oil spill, the economy, etc.?
I see the weather change over the years, but do others? Are people idiots who can’t remember the weather of 40 years ago is different than today? Why aren’t they worried?
I don’t like smelly people.
I don’t like fat, disgusting people.
I don’t like people who spit.
I don’t like pampas, yuppie pukes!
Toddler children make me laugh!
I get a kick out of watching animals.
I saw an advertisement for an African Hunt to shoot male Lions. It cost $20,000 to $37,000, but didn’t include airfare to Africa. Why would anyone want to shoot a Lion?
According to my personal survey, 7/10 Luxury cars contain a blonde on a cell phone or putting on makeup at a red light. Trophy wives?

Are We Up for the Challenges Ahead?
by: Scott F Paradis
Stagnant economy, burgeoning debt, environmental catastrophe, stretched military, declining resources, aging population, threatening foreign powers, vested internal political interests competing for self-serving ends - the challenges we face are daunting. We stand on the edge of a precipice. We can stare down into the great abyss - the graveyard of empires, the necropolis of dreams, or we can fix our gaze to the heavens, shoulder the load and launch the adventure of a generation. The time of indecision is past, the time to chart a new course is now. Are we up for the challenges ahead?
What do we know about human nature? A person's fundamental purpose is to relate and create. Now the energy employed to this purpose can easily be turned to destruction. A clash of intentions is but an exploitation of humanity's fundamental weakness - ego.
Ego is the yearning to be separate, secure and exalted - the need to control - the desire for ultimate power. On a grand scale - ego is the most destructive force on earth. As we close in on a population of seven billion souls stripping the planet of every easily accessible resource we must evaluate our status as a species and inquire at the most profound level - Can we, are we to survive? And if we are to survive, how can we flourish?
Human beings as individuals or a society are misguided by ego believing we are above nature. We are fundamentally attached to, dependent upon, one with - nature; the environment; the world around us. Every resource we exploit, every enemy we vanquish is in fact another aspect of ourselves, albeit one we do not recognize or appreciate. In the final analysis, we pay a price for our brashness, our insolence, our avarice. By way of excess and selfishness we hurt the planet, others and ultimately ourselves.
Now at a cross-roads, our species can die a slow and painful death disintegrating into competing elements fighting over every last scrap on a human time horizon of centuries, while the planet seeks to rid itself of this cancer and refashion itself on a time horizon of eons, or we can refocus on our fundamental purpose - relate and create.
We can begin anew. We can be in harmony with our world. We can begin to relate to one another, to nature, to the world and universe around us and create a new reality - a reality of high adventure. We can realize a unifying purpose. We can each create a world richer when we leave it - better off for having had us here.
The choices before us individually, as a nation, as a world community are: Will we consume or contribute? Will we compete or cooperate?
The answers to these questions do not lie with political bodies - they are not the stuff of presidents, or legislatures, or corporate bodies of any sort. They are answered by ordinary people, in everyday circumstances - in families, in communities. These are questions for you and me. We succeed and achieve together or we fail and fall apart.
The wealthy, the powerful, the privileged elite can lead. But, as has been since the beginning, their aim is to feed ego. Seeking their own aggrandizement, their motives have been an accelerator on the road to disaster. Don't look for leadership to them.
Until it dawns on us, the great unwashed masses, that the precipice is near - we will not act. The choice for the salvation of this world is an individual one.
Enough with the petty games. Enough feeding the egos of the advantaged elite. Enough manipulating the masses to benefit a few at the expense of the many. We must see with new vision, hear with new discernment, and act with new determination to remake ourselves and our world.
The answer to the question, "Are we up to the challenges ahead?" can only be determined by you and the choices you make.
Choose to contribute not to consume. Choose to cooperate, not to compete. Choose on behalf of unity, of harmony, of peace. Choose wisely. For your choices affect us all. Are you up to the challenges ahead?

Are You Paying Attention?
I wonder if anyone, besides me, has noticed it yet; the increase in active volcano’s, earthquakes, tornados, flash floods, weather changes, disasters, killings; the number of anti-depressant ads on TV and in magazines, some very grim. Have you noticed?
If you have noticed, do you think it strange or alarming that these “events” are more frequent? Have you heard about 2012, read the “Book of Revelations”, or know of the hundreds of other “End Time” prophecies in most cultures? Are you concerned of the possible connection, or will you ignore it all as mere “coincidence”?
They say ignorance is bliss, perhaps it could be death!

Every year, we are inundated with "pink" for Breast Cancer awareness. Run for the Cure is beated to death on TV, advertising, and bumper stickers. Prostate Cancer or other cancers have various colors of wrist bracelets. Yes, they are very serious. My grandparents, uncles, and both parents died of various types of cancers, due mostly by environmental factors and heavy smoking.
However there is an epidemic of STD infection that exceeds cancer like a virtual plague! Syphilis and Herpes infections, "The Gifts that Keep on Giving", exceed cancer rates a hundred fold! It's time to stamp out VD! No, it's not pretty to network or march for Syphilis, the agenda won't be a brunch or golfers wearing "pink".
Work with your local or county STD Clinic, accept donations on their behalf and help stop the spread of these diseases.
Thanks, for your support!

Random Thoughts for May 2010
Is John Travolta, age 56, and his wife Kelly Preston, age 47, friggen nuts? Having a baby...they'll be in their late 60's when the kid is in High School!
Economic Recovery? Stock market down 300+ points, unemployment rises, world economy in shambles, riots, strikes! Wake up people, today is the best day of the rest of your life!
Today is snowed 1/4" in Portland, OR.....could this place suck any more than it does?
Why yes it can. Portland, OR or as Dan Rather calls it "Pornland" due to its large numbers of whores, strip joints etc. Now, Oregon falls furthest in CEO survey of best states for business. It is dirty, backward, and full of Liberals!
Playing my on-line "stock market game" I am up $4000+ today by "shorting the market"...no wonder Goldman Sachs made so much money! What fun!
I told a contractor yesterday, that was being paid to clean the buildings vents, how to do their job! I hate it when that happens.
I saw several insane people acting out today. There sure are a lot of them around.
