"America by Bradley Manning" (God bless the whistle blowers)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5vYFl0z9g0




You ready? Here we go...down into the rabbit hole...

I know this chick named America,
she's married to a man who's been scaring her,
he protects her, but he lies and steals,
and cheats...while swearing upon her seal.

She's heard rumors of clandestine, backroom deals,
and getting off on enemies losses in the field,
but lately, someone's making 'em squeal, and
now she's nervous, about how it's making him feel.

She's seen things, but it's more than that,
she's been clothed and adored and worn the hats,
she's been housed and fed and adorned in tats,
and enjoyed being an accessory, before his acts.

So now, she's as guilty as him, and
if she doesn't fix it, so will be her kin,
and that WILL be a sin, when her
man makes his move, will she too or blow in the wind?

Remain status quo, accept the life,
become an accomplice, and let it slide.
Is it worth her time, to keep her turf and pride?
Were it up to him, would she live or die?

You can fool some people some of the time, but you
can't fool yourself forever, so stop lying.
Can she, find enough backbone to climb,
out of this pit of despair, where the water's fine?

Can it be time for some amnesty,
and come clean, and trust her man to be
the man he claimed to be before transparency, and
stop withholding rights of fellow humanity?

She'll forgive him if he can, but if he can't,
the Apocalypse of Truth will divorce their hand,
only to reveal a greater land...
rock will stand where the secrets wash away with the sand.

Let's Stop Playing Their Game

Anyone out there ever read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand? She suggests that the creators of this world will realize their visions and accomplishments are being perverted and bastardized by those with lots of power and little standards...so they retreat from the mainstream and disappear with like-minded people into their own reality...away from the power hungry, the fear mongers and those who conspire to control creators for their own twisted ends.

I would suggest that's what's happening to USA's version of democracy. Our great vision of equal opportunity and "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" has been replaced with "the American dream," brought to you by big businesses who tempt the masses with credit lines to fund your dream...until 90% of you default on your loans, and then your dream is absorbed by the big business who sold it to you in the first place.

Weird? No, it's just BIG BUSINESS. Why would they dangle the carrot in front of the consumer? Because consumers pull the plow with little gain in return.

How would we combat this? By NOT PLAYING. We have an infinite amount of opportunities and options within our own social circles and families to make our lives satisfying and abundant. When big business or government or military sees the People as "masses of numbers" instead of individual lives who matter, the temptation is to treat them as numbers in an amoral perspective that leads to an uncaring nature revolving around gain at whatever the cost, meaning: if we play their game, we will be treated as cattle, moving from pen to pen, being milked and prodded all the way to the slaughter house.

Let's stop playing their game, and let's begin our own.

What do you want to play?

The People's Power

With all the conspiracy theory out there about what the "powers that be" are up to, I think it's important to remember the People's Power.

We are individual beings of living light. Science has been proving that little by little, and many religions have come to that conclusion as well.




That's pretty radical.




As beings of light, we are energy (or even angels) and have the power to use prayer/meditation/positivity/affirmation to change our reality. Right now, the world is waking up, and regardless of religious or scientific belief, we KNOW how powerful we are when we THINK together.

While we live our out normal lives, let's also affirm or pray these kinds of concepts to further the creative perception of our planet:

1. We, human beings, are united on our Earth.
2. We are harmonizing the Love of ourselves and each other to find harmony in our actions with each other.
3. We are affecting our physical world with positive change.
4. We are finding WIN-WIN solutions for all humanity to live in peace and enable each other's "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness."
5. Our personal differences are embraced by our singular purpose of respect and empathy for one another.




Will you guys add some to this thread, and I'll make a HUGE list of beautiful ideas for the World to read? Then we can translate them into all of our languages, and send them to the rest of our planet.

Open Letter to anyone in Government, Military or Big Business who has witnessed corruption

Please let the People know...I would recommend WikiLeaks.



You are people like us, and we understand. You are not guilty of being an accomplice unless you keep hiding any abuse of the system. Drop all fears of retribution and simply come clean. If you are benefiting to the extent that it feels as if you are trapped...we understand...we would probably feel similarly if we were walking in your shoes.



The times have changed, and the tide has turned...people want the truth.



Please...blow the whistle. The sooner we get clean, the faster the dominoes will fall...and we will rise from the ashes and make real evolution happen. Let's get free...because we shall know the Truth...then that's all we can be.



Transparency...it's the apocalypse...but that's a good thing.

Sharing the vision of WikiLeaks to people who aren't online?

WHOA...

I spent an hour talking to a fellow business entrepreneur named Kevin, who owns one of the last remaining video tape/dvd rental shops in St. Louis.

I asked him if he knew about WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. He said yeah, and I asked him what?
"He published a bunch of US military secrets right?"

Well, sort of...I added to that, bringing up US cables between ambassadors and video of human rights violations.

"But he did some kind of espionage to get them right?"

(Sigh) No, and I explained how all media is submitted to WikiLeaks via the internet, and then I asked him if watches FOX NEWS.

"Well sure, but that's because when they get their facts, they'll show you a book where they got it from and say, 'if you don't believe me, read it here,' so I usually like hearing what they have to say, trusting that they are doing good fact finding."

It turns out he get his news from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch too (which he considered the "liberal" newspaper) and occasionally listens to NPR, but they are often more "socialist" than he likes.

Anywho, I let him know more about the facts behind WikiLeaks, including Julians' history of breaking into the US DoJ computers a decade ago (which he had read about, but did not know it was Julian) and then evolving into a people driven, whistle blowing, multi-media publishing organization that specialized in "Free Press activism" (suggesting it was a decision based on all the secrets he had found out about, but was unable to do anything about...by himself anyways).

After that, Kevin had some interesting questions:

"Why am I not hearing about that in the papers or the magazines I read?"
"Why don't the news programs I watch include anything on WikiLeaks?"
"Why do I feel as if my political views (conservative) aren't spoken about or considered by the Republicans?"
"How come I don't get much information from the media I pay attention to?

That question was the overall gist of what we talked about for the last half hour. He felt as if all sorts of shit was going down around the world, and every time he searched for it, he could only find out in a library or from friends "in the know".

HE COULDN'T GET MUCH FROM THE REGULAR MAINSTREAM MEDIA...and that was obvious and frustrating to him.

I told him to get online and just go to youtube and start searching topics that interested him (especially since he's a movie guy...who's NEVER BEEN ONLINE). I mentioned he would find lots of propaganda from the right wing and the left wing, but if he kept looking, he would also find TONS of documented info that was true and valid and incredibly apropos to what's going on. I also implied he might find out why he's experiencing such an underwhelming feeling of being left in the dark.




I would ask everyone who's volunteering for WikiLeaks to remember to talk to EVERYONE about the importance of getting online and seeing for themselves what they believe. Mainstream media is too contrived now with too little information for anyone to feel satiated, especially for many of these older generations who have come to trust their usual routine of doing things.




I really enjoy asking people, "so what do you know about WikiLeaks?"
The rest is...an apocalypse.

INFO WARS...who'd a thunk our governments would end up in a war where they have to hide information or lose power?

These are WAR GAMES...and here are the players:


1. WikiLeaks and whistle blower media outlets-"Freedom of the Press" activists
2. Whiste Blowers-Bradley Manning, Adam Winfield and Rudolph Elmer (in jail)
3. Anonymous-a faceless group actively seeking to disrupt organizations opposed to "Freedom of Speech" and whistle blowers


They represent Transparency
-------------------------
Those against Transparency:


1. Some big government
2. Some big military
3. Some big business



The winner will convince the public they are right...who do you think will win?

Transparency is the Apocalypse.
