Bombing or Art?

I ran into a young friend of mine recently. He's been living in Massachusetts for the last several years. Recently he was arrested for bombing all over the little towns near him. I've known him for years and he's been tagging for at least 10 of the years I've known him, first as a kid and then as a young man. His "work" is on train cars, under bridges and on walls. If you follow graffiti you will know his tag, "Limer". The local blogger where they caught him stated "We've been trying to get this guy for years...", erroneously assuming that my friend did all the big graffiti pieces in that town. Then the rest of the towns people speculated on gang affiliations, appropriate punishments and the insidious nature of graffiti itself.

This all reminded me that in the ancient city of Teotihuacan in what is now Mexico that murals were everywhere. The largest city in the Americas from 100 AD to 700 AD, while the Romans were perishing from lead in the water and all of western european culture was sliding into the dark ages this city of 8 square miles thrived and grew. Often called "The City of The Gods" it was built of volcanic rocks and every exposed surface was painted with brightly colored murals and drawings. The Pyramid of the Sun and The Pyramid of the Moon were no exceptions. To please the Gods, these early Americans, created images of animals and birds and flowers and even the gods themselves. What a sight to walk up the Avenue of the Dead and see the reds, blues, greens, yellows, etc...not a dull or boring wall in sight.

In Puerto Rico, especially in and around San Juan, there are many examples of public art. You can't walk half of a block without seeing a sculpture or mural. 500 years of history is revealed in the architecture and art that is so much a part of daily life there. No, PR doesn't have it's independence and maybe never will, but the culture of the people is kept alive through these artifacts.

My friend in Mass., is a talented artist. I have always thought that he was born to be that. Tagging is what appeals to him creatively, making public art for no fee, just to please the gods and hold on to his own culture.

April Fools, the joke's on us

$9,414,104,802,847...48..49..etc is our national debt, toting up faster than either you or I can count. This is the money we owe the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the World Bank which they in turn use to make all the war in the world. Now your government wants to give the Federal Reserve more power in the economy. Sure things are screwed up, but the Federal Reserve is controlled by a group of international banks that have effectively brought us to the current crisis, why give them more power to manipulate the marketplace?

I don't claim to understand the subtlety of big finance, but I do know that as long as we do not control the monetary system, the minting and distribution of money, that we have very little hope to turn that massive debt around.

The problem is...

Disinformation. When looking for truth it's easy to be thwarted and sidetracked by those who would intentionally mislead. Fox news is a prime example, of course. As many people who are trying to uncover the reality, there are twice as many trying to obfusticate the real information with UFO's, etc...there are documents to back up that research, but as William Cooper came to believe, those documents are probably fake.

This brings up the question, why? I guess it's to give us mere mortals the possibility of someone else coming to save the day. Unfortunately that's not going to happen, even if there are aliens. We're on our own with a government run by "thieves and crooks". Short of toppling the whole thing, we should pursue legal action against them whenever possible. Support the bill in congress to impeach Dick Cheney, then ask for restitution from Halliburton. When the new administration takes office lobby to do away with the National Security Council and the CIA, both offices were created in 1947 and have served no purpose except to involve us in one illegal war after another. Support a strict interpretation of the Constitution where there is no place for covert agencies like these.

Be proactive, not reactive

I know that you can't believe everything you read. There are always multiple sides to the story. However the more you look at an event, the more you can rule out what's not true from the highly probable. When I tell people about the ludicris amount of connections between nefarious government officials (from all governments, not just here in the U.S.) and bankers leading to over 60 million deaths in the last century alone...they say "Oh.. don't tell me about your conspiracy theories."

It is a time honored method of continuing the disimformation of the system designed by the Rockerfellers, Schiffs, Warburgs, etc...Shoot the messenger. So, that's not what this is about. I would like to suggest to anyone that thinks that any statements tying the powers that be to the mass murders of the past and present is just theory, check it out for yourself. Don't let FOX news, or CNN, or ABC, etc... tell you that its' all just theory. All of the mainstream media outlets in this country are owned by the same 6 corporations, and all of their CEO's have ties to the intelligence community. Their job is to misinform and mislead, that's what they get paid for.

Sure, the graphics are flashy and their teeth are all gleaming. Their rhetoric is simple and repetitious, and they all tell the same stories...it's an illusion and in no way reflects the truth of what's going on. I realize that anything outside of our own heads is difficult to truly understand and in many ways frustrating. Even if one has a thousand facts, the reality of an event can never be known without firsthand experience of the moment as it occurred. That being said, unless individuals attempt to understand then the corruption that is rampant in all walks of life will continue to determine all of our futures.

It's not about religion, it's about taking personal responsibility; using the tools that are out there to pursue information yourself without being spoonfed the party line. Basically, use the little freedom left to you and stop being a pawn.
