ALBANY -- Rochelle Nason has been named to the Albany City Council to finish out the term of Peggy Thomsen.
The vacancy was created when Thomsen, who was serving her fourth term as mayor, died June 8 at age 74.
Nason, who has lived most of her life in Albany, was selected by the City Council at its July 7 meeting, beating out Nick Pilch and Peggy McQuaid, the other two who applied to fill the seat.
Her environmental experience with the League to Save Lake Tahoe was cited by one council member as a reason for the choice.
"I'm happy, I'm looking forward to the challenges, I'm flattered because the other two candidates were both extremely strong and I share Mayor (Joanne) Wile's view that they would be strong candidates in November," Nason said. "I'm looking forward to serving on the council."
The choice was made through a process that included nominations by all sitting council members and multiple rounds of voting. Nason received four votes during the first round of voting, when each sitting council member was allowed to vote for two candidates in an attempt to reduce the field to a final two. Pilch and McQuaid each received two votes. It then took three rounds of voting to select Pilch as the other finalist, the tie being broken when Wile switched her vote from McQuaid to Pilch. The last contested vote went 3-1, with Peter Maass voting for Pilch, and the council then unanimously passed a resolution appointing Nason to the seat.
"Of course I'm disappointed," Pilch said, but added, "Rochelle is great. She shares my values. I think she's going to be wonderful."
McQuaid likewise said that "I think it's fair to say disappointed because it's something that I wanted to do. But it's certainly not the end of the world. I was really honored and humbled by how many people wrote me letters (of support) and came tonight and were supportive. That's just amazing to me."
McQuaid said she will run for a seat in the fall. Pilch has run twice previously and hinted that he would seek a seat this fall as well.
Nason's appointment will last through the November election. At that time, three seats will be up for election -- the remainder of Thomsen's term, which runs through 2016, and two full four-year terms.
McQuaid clearly had the overwhelming support of the public that weighed in -- both in terms of letters and emails of support sent to the city and public speakers at this week's meeting. Pilch also had some support, while Nason had no one speak on her behalf.
However, Wile said during the voting process that, "the strongest issue before us is going to be the transition plan for the Albany waterfront, so I'm going to be voting for the person with the strongest environmental record." Nason served as executive director of the League to Save Lake Tahoe for 18 years. Pilch cofounded Albany Strollers and Rollers and McQuaid has served on several committees for the city.
Second units, traffic measures
The council also approved amendments to the city's Municipal Code regarding "secondary dwelling" units, sometimes known as "in-laws."
The amendments are intended to legalize already existing units and permit and facilitate the construction of more to help expand the city's housing stock. The changes included eliminating the 12-foot height limit for detached second units, allowing the reduction of setback standards and clarified parking requirements.
The council also approved a traffic calming plan for the 800 block of Washington Avenue. Among its other aspects, the plan institutes a parking ban with a red zone on Washington between Pierce and Cerrito streets. The street is too narrow to allow parking on both sides while leaving enough room for emergency vehicles to pass.
Some residents currently park their cars halfway on the sidewalk to allow enough room for emergency vehicles, but that blocks the sidewalk.
Other changes will install bulbouts at Gateway Avenue and a raised crosswalk.

Early maincrop.
A popular variety within the potato crisp industry for its dry texture and flavoursome flesh. Potato 'Chicago' is equally useful in the kitchen as a general purpose potato for roasting, chipping, mashing and wonderfully fluffy baked potatoes. Tubers also have good storage potential due to their long-term sugar stability. This versatile British bred early maincrop has performed well in trials, showing Golden eelworm resistance and partial White eelworm resistance, as well as heat and drought tolerance. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

How to grow potatoes in bags How to stop blight
Plant early maincrop potatoes from March. Prior to planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (10C/ 50F) to allow them to sprout.
When growing early maincrop potatoes in the ground avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position in full sun on moist well drained soil. Dig in plenty of well rotted manure. Plant potatoes in rows at a spacing of 45cm (18"). Rows should be set out 75cm (2', 6") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. When shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound up soil around the shoots leaving just a few cm showing. Repeat this process after a further 3 weeks.
Where space is limited, try growing potatoes in potato bags on the patio. Fill an 8 litre potato bag to just below the top of the bag with good quality compost mixed with some well rotted manure. Carefully plunge a single chitted potato tuber into the compost with the shoots pointing upwards at a depth of 12cm (5") from the soil surface. Place the bags in a sunny position and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
Weed between rows and keep potato plants well watered throughout the growing season. If the risk of frost threatens, draw some soil up around the stems to protect them, or move potato bags to a frost free position in a shed or greenhouse. Early maincrop varieties can be harvested approximately 15 weeks from planting when the foliage begins to turn yellow and die back.

In the process of digging - great crop. Unfortunately had just one short drill of them. Grew them last year also with great success. Will plant more DV next year. It is a great maincrop potato and suitable for all uses, though those who like a 'waxy' potato will not appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I am glad to hear that you have been happy with your order. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.
By Michael Haslip 02-01-2015
Grew them in 2014 and had a good harvest from bags. Stored till December, great for roasting, chipping and baking. Plan to grow again this year 2015.
Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your comments. I hope we can continue to be of service.

V8 moment
I had a V8 moment. You know what it is. A man is exercising, and a woman says: "Have you been getting your vegetables?" He says, "I try." She hits him in the forehead, "You could have had a V8."
During the Jolly/Sink campaign, we were continuously exposed to negative ads to the point I was having an emotional response, especially since I couldn't even vote in that district. I was so glad the election was over.
Now, the governor is starting negative ads about a previous governor. I started having the same emotional response, when I looked at my remote and saw a yellow button, I hit it and immediately felt better. The TV went silent. I had my V8 moment, all as the result of a yellow button: Mute.

Foreign aid
We hope that all Americans are upset and opposed to the announcement, or maybe the news media doesn't want us to know, that in addition to our already committed foreign aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden just awarded them $50 million in new foreign aid.
We have seen the palatial palaces these leaders build with our foreign aid, and we can't balance our budget, yet we go to their shores with an open wallet saying, "Here, take more." Where are the checks and balances that Congress or the Senate has to approve of these cash layouts? Yet they want to cut back on Social Security and Medicare, calling them "entitlements."
There are 190 countries in the world and we are supplying 150 of those countries with foreign aid, including Russia. A lot of those countries don't even like us. Wake up, America. Let's help America first.

So this is a remote backup then? In that case, you should take a look
at the network as this is the most likely cause of the bottleneck. You
should check NIC/switch/hub duplex settings and make sure they are all
the same (i.e. 100MB/full). Also, TSATEST will give you a good idea of
what you should be able to achieve:

ANNEX F Common Solution/Concept List (U)
Air Force Mission Area Plan (MAP)
Targeting Systems
TRGT701A -- Precision Targeting Radars for Fighters/Bombers
DESCRIPTION:Provide attack platforms with a high resolution (1-3') synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with a moving target indicator (MTI) mode, augmented with automatic target recognition (ATR), and tightly coupled with a GPS reference system to provide GPS reference coordinates to JDAM/JSOW weapons or companion weapon platforms. Capable of recognizing stationary and moving (tank size) targets at ranges from 40-70 NM, in day/night/adverse weather.
TRGT701B -- Combined Sensor Integrated Targeting, Fire Control System with IFF
DESCRIPTON:A combination of technologies can significantly reduce the inability to locate and track enemy mobile targets and successfully engage the enemy in a timely and accurate manner without fratricide. The combined system includes a GPS/INS tied to a Synthetic Aperture Radar (or other targeting aid) tied to a command and control system. The GPS/INS SAR targeting systems detects and precisely locates a target. The information is passed to C2 nodes, for further dissemination. The C2 node also tracks GPS positions of friendlies to negate friendly fire. The C2 node can also pass cueing information and offset target received from forward observers. Target coordinates are passed to aircraft with GPS aided munitions who then bomb on the coordinates. This is applicable to a JSTARS type platform.
TRGT701C -- All Weather High Speed Target Acquisition/Navigation System
DESCRIPTION:This concept provides all weather precision targeting and strike capability of multiple targets by employing a wide area scanner, high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with a ground moving target indicator/tracking (GMTI/T) mode, GPS/INS reference system augmented with automatic target recognition (ATR), a high resolution targeting forward looking infrared radar (FLIR), a data link connectivity to a C2 node and a helmet mounted cueing system (HMCS). In order to reduce GPS errors, GPS relative targeting is used. By utilizing newly developed targeting algorithms and employing radar modes for measuring the aircraft's height above target, the system will be able to generate precise GPS target coordinates. By using GPS weapons, some of the absolute GPS errors will cancel out, greatly increasing weapon accuracy. A two way data link to a C2 node will provide updated information of the GPS locations of friendlies and enemies, as well as receive targeting and C4I information.
TRGT702 -- Integrated Reconnaissance and Precision Strike
DESCRIPTION:This concept uses one aircraft to perform the reconnaissance, precision targeting and precision strike by the use of a GPS-aided, multi-spectra sensor pod and GPS-guided munitions. The aircraft communicates with the central intelligence and mission planning organization over a satellite communication link to afford a timely strike. The placement of a multi-spectra pod on a precision strike aircraft transforms it into a strike/reconnaissance aircraft. The pod would have the capability to image a given threat area in any of several frequencies to exploit the benefits of each (i.e. infrared, laser radar, synthetic aperture radar, etc.). The imagery, which is not necessarily interpretable by the pilot, can be sent via a satellite communication link to the central intelligence and mission planning organization where the imagery is evaluated by experts that have access to collateral information. Or, it can be stored on board the aircraft for retrieval and evaluation on landing. At either facility (e.g., Air or Wing Operations Center or Intelligence C4I node) targets are confirmed and a strike mission is planned. With fielding of real time information in the cockpit (RTIC) capability, the pertinent "snapshots" can immediately be sent back to the same aircraft that collected the original imagery or to another aircraft in flight. The target is identified and a planned attack is communicated to the pilot. Since the aircraft that collected the imagery with the benefit of GPS, the designated target coordinates are acccuratly known and downloaded to the weapons. At the appropriate time during the execution of the mission, the weapons are dispensed and guided by GPS to the target.
TRGT703 -- Laser Designation for Laser Guided Munitions
DESCRIPTION:UAV concept provides search, acquisition, identification, illumination and kill assessment. Could be used to engage armored mobile targets. An electro-optical targeting system with long range laser designation capability could be mounted on a UAV, such as "Predator", to provide target designation for semi-active laser (SAL) guided munitions from a safe altitude with no risk of human life. Can be controlled from a ground station within line of sight or over the horizon via satellite. Or, an airborne control station could be employed with line of sight communications to the Predator(s) and the attacking aircraft (e.g. F-15 or F-16 w/ LGBs). Predator currently provides greater than 24 hours loiter time with a 500 nm range from its operations base. Target hand-off to the shooter, and initial weapon guidance, would be ensured by providing the target's GPS coordinates. The SAL guided munitions which are currently available include AGM-114 Hellfire and AGM-65E Maverick missiles, the 155 mm Copperhead artillery round and GBU-15 and Paveway II and III laser guided bombs. Additionally, a SAL guided version of SLAM-ER or Tomahawk could be developed to provide greater stand-off range, a lower cost per kill and improved ability to engage mobile targets. A growth version system could incorporate a micro Doppler Ladar (MDL), which could classify and identify targets by their unique MDL signature.

Túpac Amaru II
From Perupedia
|don Amaru II
|Alternate name(s):
| José Gabriel Túpac Amaru
José Gabriel Condorcanqui Noguera
|Date of birth:
|March 19, 1742
|Place of birth:
|Tinta, Cusco, Perú
|Date of death:
|May 18, 1781(aged 39)
|Place of death:
|Cuzco, Perú
Túpac Amaru II (José Gabriel Túpac Amaru b. March 19, 1742 in Tinta, Cusco, Peru – executed in Cusco May 18, 1781) was the leader of an indigenous uprising in 1780 against the Spanish occupation of Peru. Although unsuccessful, he later became a mythical figure in the Peruvian struggle for independence and indigenous rights movement and an inspiration to a myriad of causes in Peru. He should not be confused with Túpac Katari who led a similar uprising in the region now called Bolivia at the same time.
Tupac Amaru II was born José Gabriel Condorcanqui in Tinta, in the province of Cusco, and received a Jesuit education at the San Francisco de Borja School, although he maintained a strong identification with the indian population. He was a mestizo who, through his mother's side, was a direct descendent of the last Incan ruler Felipe Tupac Amaru. [1] He had been honored by the Spanish authorities of Peru with the title of Marquis of Oropesa, a position that allowed him some voice and political leverage during Spanish rule. In 1760, he married Micaela Bastidas Puyucahua of Afro-Peruvian and Indigenous descent. Condorcanqui inherited the caciqueship, or hereditary chiefdom of Tungasuca and Pampamarca from his older brother, governing on behalf of the Spanish governor.
The Corregidores and the Exploitation of the Natives
While the Spanish trusteeship labor system, or encomienda had been abolished in 1720, most Indians at the time living in the Andean region of what is now Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, who made up nine tenths of the population at the time, were still pushed into forced labor for what was legally labeled as public work projects[2]. However, most natives worked under the supervision of a master either tilling soil, mining or working in textile mills. What little wage that was acquired by workers was heavily taxed and cemented Indian indebtedness to Spanish masters. The Catholic Church also had a hand in extorting these natives through collections for saints, masses for the dead, domestic and parochial work on certain days, forced gifts, etc. [3]Those fortunate enough not to be subjugated to forced labor were subject to the Spanish provincial governors, or corregidores who also heavily taxed any free natives, similarly ensuring their financial instability[4].
Condorcanqui interest in the Indian cause had been spurred by the re-reading of one the Royal Commentaries of the Incas, a romantic and heroic account of the history and culture of the ancient Incas. The book was outlawed at the time by the Lima viceroy for fear of it inspiring renewed interest in the lost Inca culture and inciting rebellion[5]. The marquis' native pride coupled with his hate for the oppressors of his people, caused José Gabriel to sympathize and frequently petition for the improvement of Indian labor in the mills, farms and mines; even using his own wealth to help alleviate the taxes and burdens of the natives. After many of his requests for the alleviation of the native Indian's condtions fell to deaf ears, Condorcanqui decided to organize a rebellion. He began to stall on collecting reparto debts and tribute payments, for which the Tintan corregidor and governor Antonio de Arriaga threatened him with death. Feeling that his time was ripe, Condorcanqui changed his name to Tupac Amaru II and declared his lineage to the last Incan ruler Felipe Tupac Amaru. [6]
Tupac Amaru II's Rebellion
Túpac Amaru II's rebellion was one of many indigenous Peruvian uprisings in the last fifty years of Bourbon control, and it's birth was marked by the capturing and killing of Tintan corregidor and governor Antonio de Arriaga on November 4, 1780. The event unfolded after both Tupac Amaru II and the governor Arriaga attended a banquet hosted by a priest. [7] When governor Arriaga left the party in a drunken state, Tupac Amaru II and several of his allies captured him and forced him to write letters to a large number of Hispanics and curacas. When about 200 of them gathered within the next few days, Tupac Amaru II surrounded them with approximately 4000 Indians. Claiming that he was acting under direct Spanish royal orders, Amaru II gave Arriaga's slave Antonio Oblitas the priviledge of executing him. [8] A platform in the middle of a local town plaza was erected, and the initial attempt at hanging the corregidor failed after the noose had snapped. He then ran for his life to try and reach a nearby church, but was not quick enough to escape being successfully hanged on the second try. [9]
After the execution of the corregidor, Amaru II began his insurrection. He organized an army of six thousand Indians who had abandoned their work to join the revolt. As they marched towards Cuzco, the rebels occupied the provinces of Quispicanchis, Tinta, Cotabambas, Calca, and Chumbivilcas. After years of living under oppression, the rebels looted the Hispanic houses and killed their Spanish oppressors.[10].
In November 18, 1780, Cuzco dispatched over 1,300 Hispanic and Indian loyalist troops. The two opposing forces clashed in the town of Sangarara. (This battle would be recorded later as the Battle of Sangara.) It was an absolute victory for Amaru II and his native Indian rebels; all of the 578 Hispanic soldiers were killed and the rebels took possession of their weapons and supplies. The victory however, also came with a price. The battle revealed that Amaru II was unable to fully control his rebel followers, as they viciously slaughtered without direct orders. Reports of such violence and the rebels' insistence on the death of Hispanics eliminated any chances for a support by the Creole class. [11] Unfortunately, the victory achieved at Sangarara would be followed by a string of defeats. The most critical defeat came in Amaru II's failure to capture Cuzco, which was fortified by a combined troop of loyalist Indians and reinforcements from Lima. After subsequent skirmishes around the surrounding region, Amaru II and his rebels became surrounded between Tinta and Sangarara. A betrayal by two of his officers, colonel Ventura Landaeta and captain Francisco Cruz, sealed Amaru II's defeat and capture. [12]
Amaru II was sentenced to a cruel execution. He was forced to bear witness to the execution of his wife, his eldest son Hipólito, his uncle Francisco, his brother-in-law Antonio Bastidas, and some of his captains before his own death. He was sentenced to be tortured and beheaded. Preceding his own beheading, Túpac Amaru II (José Gabriel Condorcanqui) had his tongue cut out and his limbs tied to four horses (as part of a failed attempt to quarter him) on the main plaza in Cusco, in the same place his great-grandfather had been beheaded. When the revolt continued, the Spaniards executed the remainder of his family, except his 12-year-old son Fernando, who had been condemned to die with him, but was instead imprisoned in Spain for the rest of his life. It is not known if any members of the Inca royal family survived this final purge. Amaru's body parts were strewn across the towns loyal to him, his houses were demolished, their sites strewn with salt, his goods confiscated, his relatives declared infamous, and all documents relating to his descent burnt. [13] At the same time, on May 18, 1781, Incan clothing and cultural traditions, and self-identification as "Inca" were outlawed, along with other measures to convert the population to Spanish culture and government until Peru's independence as a republic. However, even after the death of Amaru, Indian revolt still overtook much of Southern Peru , Bolivia and Argentina, as Indian revolutionaries captured Spanish towns and beheaded many inhabitants. In one instance, an Indian army under rebel leader Túpac Katari overtook the city of La Paz for one hundred and nine days before Argentinean troops stepped in to relieve the city. While Tupac Amaru II's rebellion was not a success, it marked the first large-scale rebellion in the Spanish colonies and inspired the revolt of many native Indians and mestizos in the surrounding area. The rebellion gave the Natives a new state of mind, and set the stage for their support of Bolivar forty years later. They were now willing to join forces with anyone who opposed the hated Spanish. For all his sacrifice he was proclamated King of America.
Later, the rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur would be named after him.[14]
Querrán volarlo y no podrán volarlo ("They will want to blow him up and won't be able to blow him up").
Querrán romperlo y no podrán romperlo ("They will want to break him and won't be able to break him").
Querrán matarlo y no podrán matarlo ("They will want to kill him and won't be able to kill him").
Al tercer día de los sufrimientos, cuando se crea todo consumado, gritando: ¡LIBERTAD! sobre la tierra, ha de volver. ¡Y no podrán matarlo! ("On the third day of suffering, when it was believed he was finished, screaming: FREEDOM! over the earth, he shall be back. And they won't be able to kill him!")
— Alejandro Romualdo

1. In the case that you have somehow merged studies of the same
modality together (and the patient's images are visually
indistinguishable by a tech or Radiologist based upon the patient's
priors), you may be able to distinguish by image acquisition time on
these 3 tags ((0008,0022) Acquisition Date ; (0008,002A) Acquisition
Datetime ; (0008,0032) Acquistion Time. You should be able to use the
Tech's log as a study start - end guide and put them in chronological
2. Patient Orientation is DICOM TAG 0020,0020
Slice Location is 0020,1041
3. There is a hierarchy to storing patient information using the
DICOM standard. One Patient may have one or more studies. The study
is the exam that is being performed, and it may consist of one or more
series (different patient orientation or imaging techniques applied to
accentuate different anatomy), each series may contain one or more

Within a Landing Page view you can apply a change to the records in the view by using the Bulk Actions functionality. This can be all records or a sub-set of them, which have been defined by applying filters. The actions that can be carried out are:
- Reassign - reassign all the identified records to a specific Workbooks user;
- Delete - deletes all the records;
- Update - you can choose to update one or more field on all the identified records, giving them all the same value;
- Add to Campaign - you can choose to add one or more Records from a Landing Page (People/Organisations/Sales Leads) to a Marketing Campaign and apply a Member Status to those records.
Bulk Actions are performed in the background and the user will be notified when the action is complete. Pending and Completed Bulk Actions can be viewed on the Bulk Actions Landing Page (Start > Bulk Actions). Bulk Actions can be undone for a period of up to 30 days after they've been carried out.
Performing Bulk Actions
The ability to perform Bulk Actions is controlled by the following Capabilities:
- Bulk Reassign records
- Bulk Delete records
- Bulk Update records
- Bulk add Campaign Members
- Bulk Recalculate Permissions
If required, your System Administrator can grant you any or all of these Capabilities.
To carry out a Bulk Action, navigate to the Landing Page for the appropriate record type. Here you can use filtering to identify the records you want to change / delete / add to a Campaign. When the grid shows the record(s) you want to change/delete, click Bulk Actions and choose the appropriate option.
REMEMBER: Depending on the filter you've applied, your records might span more than one page.
NOTE: If you want to use bulk functionality with Activities, you need to deal with Tasks and Meetings separately. To carry out changes to Tasks, first navigate to the all Tasks Landing Page. Similarly, if you want to carry out changes to Meetings, first navigate to the All Meetings Landing Page.
The options available depend on the Record Type that you are working with and the Capabilities that you have been granted. The options will be some or all of the following:
- Add to Campaign: You can use the dropdown next to Marketing Campaign to specify which Campaign to add the records to and specify the Member Status to apply to the records for that Campaign. Then click Add Marketing Campaign Members;
- Delete: You'll be asked if you're sure you want to Delete the record(s) and you can choose Yes or No, as appropriate;
- Reassign: You'll be provided with a dropdown picklist of all the users to whom you can reassign the record(s). You can then click Reassign People;
- Update: You'll be provided with a greyed out list of all the fields for the record type you want to update. Clicking on one of the options allows you to set the new value you want your identified records to have. You can click on multiple options to update multiple fields.
- Recalculate Permissions: You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to change the permissions on the selected records. Any records that have been shared with individual users and are not specified in that Record Type's Sharing Policy will be removed and set back to that of the Permissions configuration. For more information on setting up Permissions, see here. You may also be interested in this forum article.
Whichever option you choose, you'll see a message saying that your Bulk Action has been scheduled and you'll be notified when it's complete. You can carry on working in Workbooks while the records are being updated.
You'll be notified when the Bulk Action has finished. You can click Open to see information on how many records have been updated and whether or not there are any errors or warnings.
NOTE: Clicking on Delete does not undo your change but will prevent you from being able to undo the change in the future.
Proceed with caution before bulk deleting data - think about the effect on other records in your database. For example, deleting records will also delete their links to other records on Workbooks. So if you delete Organisation records you will delete their relationships with any People records so you could end up with People records that don't contain employer information. Similarly, if you delete People records you may end up with Activity records that show no Primary Contact information.
Consider too that the records you delete might be used in Dynamic Linked Items/Picklists so deleting these could affect existing data on your system.
IMPORTANT: Any Notes records linked to the records you delete will be deleted at the same time.
Workbooks will not allow you to delete People or Organisation records that are related to transaction records.
Undoing Bulk Actions
Bulk Actions can be undone for a period of up to 30 days after they've been performed. To undo an action navigate to the Bulk Actions Landing Page (Start > Bulk Actions) and choose the row from the grid that you want to undo and click the Undo button. The Undo request will be queued up and you'll receive a notification when it's complete.
Your records will be returned to the state they were in before you took the Bulk Action. In the case of undoing a delete, any Notes relating to the reinstated record and links to other records will be recreated.

It's been a few months since I've last checked up on this thread.
I and a few other writers who I work with are still very interested in contributing materials for up coming issues, would it be at all possible to have one of the editors from pain magazine post an update of some kind.

No. I tend to write and keep or write and show a few, sell a few, but nothing ever free in the public domain, I'm greedy and too poor to care about how others feel about my way of showcasing my works. I'm one of those writer's writer. The kind that checks the change slots of payphones in malls while I'm doing banking stuff and in hospitals while visiting my mum. I steal napkins from tim hortons and I don't buy a fucking thing, instead I ask for a hand full of creamos and shotgun those on my way to the bustop. I used to buy zigzags rollies and a pack of smokes, break my smokes and roll two little smokes giving me 40 smokes for the price of twenty...so now mate, no free cyberpunk stories.

They interviewed Obama's grandmother and she said she was there when he was born in KENYA. There is a large group of people simply asking for ANY valid copy of his birth cert. Its not out there because it doesn't exist. I need more documentation to get on a plane than he had to become PRESIDENT.
051r15 is saying that
If we have a foreign born dictator at the helm, it has everything to do with the fact that our sovereignty and liberty is being traded for corporate profit and gain, especially when it pertains to globalization.
I'm talking about the actual body that is filling the position of "president in chief". Where you guys see and say, He's kenyan there fore "this" and "that" I'm saying, the "person's place of birth" or skin color doesn't mean jack and what a better way to throw people off their movement than by propping up these false visual distractions. Let's say, the person in the big seat was from Australia and female, but steering the country down the same bumpy ass road..would you still be focused on the colour and birth certificate or at how bad the driving is or at what going on outside of the windows?
My point is that, it could of well been a blind guy from the mid-west who was hand picked to be the puppet head, but the focus shouldn't be on the puppet, but the stage and the hand it self. I don't know how else to really simplify my point. I'm sure you guys know what I mean though, there's no way I can make it any clearer. We all agree that the guy in the big seat is a puppet nay? so what's the point of shedding any further light of where the puppet was created, made or country it came from? It's wasted energy, wasted discussion..it matters, sure. Of course it does matter, but not as big of an importance as we're being lead to believe. Disagree w/ me or not, I'm just making it clear to everyone that there's too much emphasis being put in the wrong kettle.
It's a "hey look at this guy" everyone look over here at this guy and don't worry about so much about the group of guys around him, just keep looking at this guy we got. That's my take on the whole birth angle. Like I said, I'm not saying it's not a part of the equation, nor am I saying that it should be pointed out...I'm saying it's a sucker punch to stun everyone for a long ass time, and so far it seems to be working..well at least from my perch up here in cozy cold Canada.
Another thing, I'm not pointing it out to fight about w/ you guys, I'm pointing out because I don't think anyone has brought that angle up or if it turns out that I'm the only one who sees like that, then let me know. I'm fully aware that one has to be born within the states to hold the big seat, but at this juncture....it's incredibly apparent that no one w/ any real clout can do anything about it. They've passed go and collected the 200 bucks as it were.
I think that most people outside of the states see it the same too, it became a transparent fact that location of birth in regards to being able to hold the big seat made little noise 12 months into the 4 year gig. So..you know, why still sing that same song,"oh no fair, no fair", when they're clobbering you w/ lefts and rights?
That's all I'm saying.

I don't know, even the dictionary.com definition seems to fit pretty closely to what we have now. Sure we may be 2 years off from actually fitting every aspect publicly but in writing, its done.
Oh no there's doubt that it's getting bad, and perhaps worse and worse..but he's more of a CEO...he may hold the seat, he may be able to do things, but w/ the blessing and strictest of permissions of those who hold the purse strings right?
It's a job just like any other job, do your best, don't step on any toes, feed and support your family
at all costs
, it would almost be unamerican to do otherwise.
To me, I feel sorry for the guy, that's one life I wouldn't want to live.
Quote from: Loopster on February 03, 2011, 11:27:41 am
Just an employee? Luck of the draw? WTF? Did you have any clue what so ever about anything?
You agree with it but dont care? Really? Thats so nice that you share this shit with everyone on a board where we ALL care.
Saying and doing...two whole different things. Free will or take orders? what will it be? I personally, have yet to come to that cross roads...by the way a lot of you guys reply to my posts it's apparent you guys have walked that long road and came out a changed person. As w/ me...my gut tells me I can do it, face what challenges it takes to secure my freedoms and rights, even though I'm up here in cozy cold Canada, but that's my journey, for me alone and I don't expect anyone from the forums to say otherwise. So I guess w/ me being able to admit that to a bunch of online strangers, some of you take my unsure, fence sitting as an personal insult when it's 100% not and that's no bullshit. I'm here to ask questions, find answers and to make up my own mind when it's time for me to walk the crossroads. I got a little ticked off about disinfo comment from 051r5 but I'm not going to hold it against him, how can I? right? I mean shit, I'm a 30yr book worm who writes about cyborgs and futuristic cities..endless possibilities....but when I look up from my keyboard and ashtray full of cigarettes, it's a totally unreal reality. Unreal in that, it's as if some one wrote the script to it. So we have a part to play, some die, some live..and I don't want to come off sounding like movements don't count or that they don't matter, but..throughout history. time after time..I just don't know. So make my replies, my comments and if it steps on toes, so what? I can't sell myself short now can I? would you?
Quote from: Loopster on February 03, 2011, 11:27:41 am
The movement is growing. The war is already being waged against the American people and most don't even know it, or worse, purposefully ignore it if you can believe that. My buddy who is a freedom fighter in Wisconsin, just got his office raided "off the record" by the IRS. They threatened, intimidated, and stole computers from his place of business while he wasn't there and there is no record of it in any public office. They were sent by the governor and in the last week his website went down, his youtube is down, and he is not responding to email and messages. Yeah there's a war going on right now.
I'm fine w/ being able to write and sell fiction and my biggest responsibility is to pay my bills, say my piece w/out hurting anyone or myself for the most part. Live and let live. At the same time, and I know many of you would be more than happy to remind me about how much the founding fathers, the veterans of all wars, the countless of heros who sacrificed their lives to gain and secure all of the freedoms bestowed upon the men and women of the USA...but you got to ask yourself, at least once in the duration of your personal struggle..just how much fight is within you. I'm in Canada, living in a Condo, pet cat, drink coffee, smoke ciggies, live off noodles and grilled cheeses. Is that what I want for the rest of my life?
No, fuck no. I want to enjoy being a successful writer of fiction, I want to travel in peace in peaceful countries...and I'm not naive to think that all of that is going to come to me for free, but at the same time..what liberties I currently do have, aren't that, that bad for the most part. When does the struggle to live become a life of nothing but a struggle? It's like we've been placed in this 24/7 states of hate and mistrust of the neighbors, mistrust of skin color, mistrust of this and that...when's it going to be ok to just fucking relax and enjoy what little we got..in another 200 years? fuck another 200 years after that? I really doubt that the founding fathers would of left the republic up to it's citizens knowing that a 100 years later it would of been sold, why I say that? well..because I think at some point of their lives they had the guts to admit that their dream and ideas for the near perfect and free republic wouldn't be reached within 200 years. I don't think they saw the perfect republic existing in a world like the world we're living in today and what about 500 years from now? I don't know, maybe I believe too much in the world and stories I write, but in my fictional worlds each story starts and ends the same. I'm not writing this to make you guys rethink of what you're all about, but man...this uphill struggle is a trip. That's for sure.

Listen. We have had a dictatorship since 1933, that's a fact. We still have a constitutional republic at its core, even if it has been sidelined.
I agree w/ you 100% and I think that's true to a certain extent here in Canada, although maybe not as visible as it is in the USA. Perhaps that's even more of a concern, who knows? If the USA had not fought for it's independence from british rule as it did, the historical outcome would resemble that of Canada or one of the other nations within the Royal dominion.

First, your opinion means exactly jack shit. Next, I don't care about your acquaintance with Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.
Finally, the United States has been controlled from behind the scenes by private banking interests since nearly its inception, and we have defeated the banks before (see Andrew Jackson), and we can do it again.
You have all rights to say what you want about my statements or myself and as such I have all rights to counter your slurs but I'm hardly convinced that this is way to treat one another mate, I'm not here to make enemies or to make troubles 051r15. I've been clear about my intentions from day one. So cut me some slack as I'm only seeking answers.
Does common decency go out the window towards people who see things differently?, or who might not have the full picture? So instead of being below yourself in your replies to some of my posts how about extending some common courtesy to others who simply might not have the full picture? The whole " aarrgh..fuck you, it's my way or nothing arrgh" routine is old and genuinely boring to come across, especially when I'm in agreement w/ your posts up to 80% of the time. I'm having conversations, not confrontations nay?.
Re: Andrew Jackson: Yeah, I'm aware of the man's accomplishments, but we're now living in times where the world is a lot smaller and a hell of a lot more selfish. The system is, by now I imagine, set up so that leaders like Jackson, Adams, Lincoln are scarce. They must be spinning in their graves. I don't think that defeating the bankers can be done head on like it was done all those years ago,
not all,
but a majority of today's politicians world wide are in the bankers pockets and that's the truth. Can the banks be defeated again? Sure, but the bankers of today's world are one giant team who don't see borders or flags. The strategies of yesteryear's will not simply not work.

I am talking about the patriots themselves, the gun owners, the growing number of liberty supporters as being the strength of this nation. It's not as much as it needs to be, but it's a lot more than what the Canadians have going at the moment.
Many, many, many Canadians support the patriotic movements and ideas that help create the USA and it's no secret that those same Canadians are easily discouraged to lift a finger for their own freedoms and rights as it's matter of trust.
We trust our government a lot more than Americans trust theirs and for the most part our government does put it's citizens

, that isn't to say they don't or are not wanting to, or trying to fuck us over when ever they see fit to.
I admit, I'm a bit naive in thinking that Canada has made my life a lot better than had I remained in Central Am or had my parents tried to gain citizenship in the USA. I'm sure, you too would say, think and feel the same about Canada if you were to live here and again you know...I'm not totally politically active so that's why I'm on these forums you know, to see, read, to learn.
I'm open to gaining more insight, to see all the angles and perhaps at times share what I know to others, even if it's a small but at least it's a step in the positive direction right? or am I an idiot? haha if you think I'm an idiot for wanting to learn more about the world, then yeah, that's your right to feel, think that way. I'm not going to say not to, just know that w/ that type of mentality others won't bother to be open minded and prejudge you and then the whole discussion will lose value.

Yeah, you need to find another forum to peddle your bullshit, fella. Nobody is buying it.
Nations come and go. Societies spring up and wilt away. Civilizations rise and fall. We can agree to disagree man. If you say that 200 years is a fine amount of time to reach the republic the founding fathers had in mind, I can only give you what I've so far learned from historical facts and from different schools of philosophy brother.

Racism exists everywhere. If you doubt this, move to Africa or China or Mexico. Africa is for Africans, China is for Chinese, Mexico for Mexicans..
.you don't see large numbers of whites being flooded into their society, but every white society MUST accept every other race moving into theirs. That's called a contradiction, and it is the only true racism I have ever known.
I don't doubt that racism exists, nor did I say anything like that, but that it exists doesn't prove anything more than it's a silly concept held by those who some how fail to remember that no one has control of where they will be born making the whole argument of these people belong here and those people belong there pointless. Not yet at least, in a perfect Cyberpunk world though.
On the topic of "Cultural differences", is perhaps where I would agree that on some level would make sense to use as a valid platform for discussion, not skin color though.
When you say,
you don't see large numbers of whites being flooded into their society, but every white society MUST accept every other race moving into theirs. That's called a contradiction, and it is the only true racism I have ever known.
I understand that you're referring to modern day and age and I agree w/ you 100% but you know that that has not always been the historical case. Right? I mean one doesn't have to look that far into history to find moments in time where European/"whites" moved here and there for what ever reasons.
Conquered nations is an example of the opposite point I'm trying to make, yet again, if you're of a mind that thinks that even in these modern times immigration is a new form of conquering a nation, I would even agree w/ you on that point too but only to a certain level as in people come to Canada or America to seek a better life. That's the right of everyone on earth though, would you agree or disagree with me?

If you cannot keep from spouting bullshit remarks in support of Obama, I have to say that you and I are simply not going to see eye to eye, so in the true spirit of things, I declare that we each leave one another alone. After most of the others around here also shun you and call you out for being either a confused young boy or a disinfo agent, you may find your true calling elsewhere. Kindly back the fuck off.

that retards are out there rolling their faces on the keyboards.
Well as w/ any message board of this caliber and that caters to political views of many.......there's the high sense of mistrust that is inseparable from not being able to see a persons face or knowing their background.
You may think what ever pleases you to think about me and my statements, comments, questions etc,....what each and every single members idea about me is completely a: None of my business b: None of my concern c: If it does not infringe on my rights or freedoms as stipulated within the rules of conduct put forth by the forum admins and vice versa..then brother, we're of an equal understanding at least on that right?
Yet, to continuously make the suggestion that a member of the forums could be a disinfo agent is something that should be looked into by the admins of these forums because it only gives way to setting a tone that eventually becomes toxic on forums like these where the politics is the main staple. Finger pointing in this kind of atmosphere? have at it hos.
Everyone here is potentially a disinfo agent nay?
I'm not circumcised. There....proof that I'm not a disinfo agent.
Where's your proof man?
My afterthought on your "disinfo" comment is that I could of not answered and ignored it, then perhaps by not answering that would leave the question mark that much brighter for those reading...so we can go back and forth, back and forth or is anyone who registers on these forums and does not tote a m16, an american flag tattoo on the ball sack and think freshly deep fried pork cracklings smothered in real Louisiana hot sauce is haute cuisine not a disfinfo agent fourth reich psy op plant?
Ooooh how's that for a mind job eh? Oooh, it's like I'm inside your brain brooOoOOoO.

If we have a foreign born dictator at the helm, it has everything to do with the fact that our sovereignty and liberty is being traded for corporate profit and gain, especially when it pertains to globalization.
Good thing you started the statement off w/ "if"
we have a foreign born dictator at the helm
051r15 because that's not what you guys down in the states really got, ya think?. True that your guys head office is packed full of people making a buck how ever possible and at the cost of the freedoms of the many they were sworn to protect, but that's just "the American way" since the mid 1930's. It's almost "unamerican" not to be the fittest in order to survive in politics, in business etc..etc..
I don't see America as being under "dictatorship", not like how it's defined in any dictionary, although it is being directed/steered/maintained indirectly by a many upon many interest groups....not just one single kenyan.
If anything, he's just an employee doing his 9 to 5 to stay alive, got to have pity for anyone in that situation man, no matter what country they were born in. That's just luck of the draw.
It really doesn't matter what country he is from or what color his skin is. I wouldn't think it would matter if he were a blond haired female who was once married to a former main office holder, but I do agree w/ you in that sovereignty and liberty is being traded for corporate profit and gain, no doubt about that and that's been the case..again..most likely since the 1930's? more or less?
Quote from: 051r15 on February 01, 2011, 02:50:38 am
America isn't weak, make no such assumption.
It's weak in a lot of places, like in it's media, it's dominance over the worlds financial markets...yeah, I'd say it's been weakened. If you're only referring about it's military...I would give the nod to the USA, but that's simply because it's military has been kept active in theater for the past 10 years w/ seemingly back to back bullshit campaigns. Like I was saying, it appears weak in some aspects and in others it's still top dog..but for the most part man..it's pretty weak ass.
Quote from: 051r15 on February 01, 2011, 02:50:38 am
The American republic is an idea which has spanned several generations, and it is far from being lost entirely, even if it has been carefully dismantled from the inside. Don't make the error of assuming that we, the people are also weak...not all of us anyway.
Yeah I get the idea of all the rhetoric but every nation since nations first became outlined patches of dirt and flags always fail, always fall on it's own foundations making way for new nations, etc..etc..don't really need to dole out history. The idea of a republic isn't enough, it can't be enough and that's by no fault of the nation but of it's leaders and the people, it's citizens lack of pushing forward. Once a nation is set into it's conservative ways, it takes many generations to make positive change. America is around what? 200 years old? That's peanuts compared to the rise and falls of past great nations. All in all, you think that after 200 years America is even close to it's ideal republic state? I don't think the founding fathers of the USA were naive in thinking that the republic would be shaped in so little of time. Hell, racism still exists in the USA and that's no one's fault but of the citizens of the republic not the government.
Quote from: 051r15 on February 01, 2011, 02:50:38 am
The corporate media will continue to spin lies into fancy rhetoric designed to captivate you. As for China, it's economy is mostly dependent upon the consumer hordes of America -a situation not created by accident. The very best way to force the global empire into being is to manifest its strengths through the interdependency of simple economics.
Yeah, I agree 100%. The struggle for a near perfect republic is slim, very slim, the momentum has been derailed with so many pity issues. Imagine North America in another 200 years...and something as silly as racism still being around? There's not much to hope for if that ends up being the case.
Quote from: 051r15 on February 01, 2011, 02:50:38 am
Yeah, it doesn't look good. As long as we can dispel the myths surrounding what is happening, I think we still have a fighting chance to claim victory over the globalist horde. But, time is running out.
Yeah true man, although time is running out, but it is on our side though I think. 200 years is very short, who's to say that in less than another 50 years it all won't go to hell and what's is left is where you will find the founder's republic?

I would say perhaps 10% is explained. Alex jones makes some pretty solid observations that are more or less cookie cut to suit his show, he reports the doom gloom better than anyone else in his corner of the media and is good at what he does but he also is not to be skimmed over for judgment.
He and film maker Micheal Moore.
back to topic though..
What is happening through out North Africa won't likely happen here in North America for a lot of reasons, the obvious one that I can think of is that we as North Americans, we're just too occupied w/ being on the side lines and would rather watch the world tear it self apart than participate in making the world a just place. Canada is the fat kid picked last to join the team, and will always be that fat kid imo.
America used to be top dog...but now is too soft, too squishy and are picky about where we lend direct help, unless of course it's Israel, which in that case, we're there in no time with handouts both financially, morally, ethically and militarily. America Anyone agree?

Obama is the new Chinese ambassador. He is more on their side than he is on the US side. But what the hell do you expect from someone born in KENYA?
I think that the location of the presidents birth has very little to do w/ what is going on w/ China today. That's a little silly haha, but any way, I think that link you posted says a lot about how weak america has allowed itself to become or at least allowed itself to be seen by it's own citizens.
Strategically, it makes sense for america to appear weak in the business world, but if the USA is actually that weak to the point of making China the most productive/industrial country that is leading the world in new innovations etc..etc.., then shit, that's a case of poor management of a nations interests imo. I think since the loss of JFK, america has lost any real fight within herself, not much backbone remained. Of course, my views come from the point of view of one who is on the outside looking in.
Will there be the return of the once great nation of the USA? Who knows man, who knows. What I do know is that having hope doesn't account for much, now a days.

The gut feeling I got about Russia, China, hell even a few other countries that are in that corner of the world is an unsettling gut feeling to say the least. My gut feeling tells me that "the West" is in for a lot of trouble folks, the direction our present history is steering towards is very unsettling because I'm not hearing about or seeing a lot of minor or major changes in steering us out and away from the trouble.
It's almost as if the whole scheme is to lead the west into further trouble and in the mean time, the west is given these distractions, the slight of hand information outlets (TV news, newspapers, internet news, military news, forms of entertainment... all of it)
You're just figuring this out? You really need to get with the program. This is reeeeally old news.
Well to be very honest, I live a pretty quiet life. I don't keep to many circles of friends. No affiliation w/ any political groups what so ever, unless you consider my membership to Science Fiction & Writing forums. I wouldn't say my membership to these rant forums as a serious one as I'm only looking for answers and to participate in what few topics of discussion I find to be of any real use w/in my personal life. Such as this China thread.
What I'm figuring out is that, "this reeeeeeally old news", is happening in real time. As if we've caught up to all those many predictions experts have been warning about. I'm w/ the program, there's no question about that. Although, I think it's more of a deprogramming issue w/ some of you here. Baiting one another w/ idiotic remarks, patronizing new forum members for what purpose?
I'm fairly certain that reeeeeally wasn't your intent though.
So what are your thoughts on China in reference to my post and video clip.

Re: China helps bad standing Europe

I'm currently studying the Russian Language and have been for the past several months. Initially I started learning Russian as a hobby and to retool my mind w/ a third language. Over time this hobby soon gave way to me actively searching out for a better grasp of Russia as a country. "Russophilia" as it's widely known, is not a new phenomenon here in the west. I'm comfortable w/ saying that I'm pro-Russia despite what others might say, but Russia is one of the most formidable power houses just waiting to spring out of it's long slumber, and they're not alone and it's no real big news that they never have been.
At my most recent language class, our instructor who happens to be a citizen of China and of Canada was commenting about the historical relationship between Russia & China and how it's virtually two peas in a pod when it comes down to how "the West",
(which when that term is used I more or less refer to the United States)
is viewed by both nations.
Before I begin to write my stories, I always spend a few weeks doing research for my characters, the stories outline, the plot etc, etc... My current Science Fiction story is about China, Russia...that's a little besides the point. So here's the meat and potatoes of my post.
I find China to be very fascinating, their culture, their history in becoming a nation. I'm not pro-China, not yet at least. The gut feeling I got about Russia, China, hell even a few other countries that are in that corner of the world is an unsettling gut feeling to say the least. My gut feeling tells me that "the West" is in for a lot of trouble folks, the direction our present history is steering towards is very unsettling because I'm not hearing about or seeing a lot of minor or major changes in steering us out and away from the trouble.
It's almost as if the whole scheme is to lead the west into further trouble and in the mean time, the west is given these distractions, the slight of hand information outlets (TV news, newspapers, internet news, military news, forms of entertainment... all of it)
This video clip I added to my post is to more or less revisit the old discussion of how Russia/China have practically redesigned
cold war. I suppose that Russia is on the sidelines as where China no longer sees the west as an enemy, but rather as an investment.
I'm learning how to speak Russian, and once I'm comfortable at commanding that language I do not doubt that I will soon after pick up another hobby language, either Cantonese
It's not at all a far fetched, fictional possibility that within 10/15 years from now...the West as you know it and have known it will be a mirage of what it once was.
Here's another little piece of news I think would fit into this thread.
China is raising the, "Super City"
and most of these newer "Super Cities" are found in Asian countries. The west will fall either in line, or fall behind..worse yet.....simply fall.

Well a lot of us don't feel that way. Are you aware that a Tamil Tiger refufuckingG gets more $ from the Gov than a WWII Veteran or Canadian born Senior Citizen? We're far too welcoming to strangers when we can't even keep our own house in order. It's like letting your brother starve to feed the new neighbor who often refuses to learn my language, appreciate my culture, wear a helmet and expects me to look the other way when he beats his fully masked wife or his kid carries a "ceremonial dagger" to high school. Don't even think of pulling the race card on me - the best part of me is Native North American Indian, my best 3 friends are Bosnian, Chinese and Clusterfuck Heinz 57 redneck.
What do you mean those tigers are getting fed money??? Where are you getting this from? links, hook up a link, links...
Canada's not too welcoming, the number of decent immigrants far out weigh the useless ones (criminals, stow away, walk overs, smuggled.. etc..). My family is a perfect example, we came here legally w/ a few hundred bucks, some clothes, all 5 of us from a war torn country. My dad is really into hockey, so we came to Canada. Long story short.....we're proud Canadians. If anything, I think Canada just has poor regulations set up for those wanting to barge their way into the country, but those who come here legal beagle...you can't group them up in the same batch.
No race card here mate haha, I see where you're coming from but I'm hard pressed to agree w/ you in that all new comers should be automatically written off as being bad apples, that's simply not the case in the real world.
In regards to those who come here and don't "get" Canadian enough for you...I don't think there's much reason to quip about it since I'm fairly certain a good percentage of them are here to perhaps provide a better life for their kids, much like my parents did. There's a difference between learning the language and speaking the language w/ an accent, as long as you're able to understand one another.
What exactly is a Native North American Indian, you a card carrying member on a reserve or what?

The further you drive North in any province the more likely a home will have a rifle.
The primary exception being immigrants who treat a 4 bedroom house like "high density housing" in Vancouver.
(ie - family of 10+). Foreigners are far more willing to live without the ability to defend themselves I suspect in part
due to how "appreciative" they are towards our government.
Yeah, considering that in what ever country their leaving is mostly likely pretty shitty and terrible governments doing a lot of nasty shit to it's people, yeah not sure of really what other culture other than middle eastern that pack their houses to the gills w/ fellow countrymen..but...they do have the best intentions about doing that though. Canadian 2 story homes are palaces compared to a tin roof hut. In regards to relying on the Canadian gov to defend themselves..I dunno man, speaking for a majority of Central American Latinos...we're keen on vendettas and reprisals rather than relying on official intervention and drawn out forms of justice.

This is the most enlightened thing I've seen you write. Turn off your TV and work on your Karma. Almost everyone I've exchanged ideas with on this forum is at least partially awake and fighting like hell to free their minds. I never really noticed who you were on here until someone called you out for self-promotion and lack of relevant participation.
Yes, I'm a business minded individual, fairly new to wanting to be enlightened I guess, still not sure, it's not like there's a deadline in changing ones frame of mind. Everyone self promotes in way or the other. I don't even own a TV. These ideas you guys exchange are pretty extreme on the surface, little hard for me to say, "yes, these guys are right and have it all planned out" cause to be honest, how do I know that I'm not the one getting taken for a ride? I'm street smart and that's how I've been playing this game of life for the past 30 yrs so, has it failed me? sure, at times it has, of course, but no more than the next fucker. Is Gator an opportunist, fucking A I am. That's ok, I like to fly under the radar when I first join new forums, besides, I only came on here to find fellow writers of fiction because I was told there were Science fiction and cyberpunks on these forums. Turns out, you guys are more like survivalists and that type of folks, so who knows, maybe I'll stick around and learn something, maybe you guys will learn something from me, or maybe I'm a member of some dark and secret fucking organization steadily implanting myself amidst a bunch of walking, talking and typing numbers. I'm here to infiltrate this little circle jerk session you guys got set up, then again who knows, maybe it's you guys who are running an operation on me. Either way, I wanna see what good being here will do or not do to my writing career. It's all for grabs man, all of it.
What is relevant participation? Peeping out of window blinds hahaha? No but seriously, I'm not here to debate anyone on anything I have no stake in, and so far I've only been discussing, chatting with kind strangers on the internet. I'd be and act and am much the way as you read my words as I am say if this was at your local pub or legion hall.

Well that's the pickle of it isn't it? You don't. But you can fucking guarantee that those are my rights too, I've earned them. Gave up one war torn country for this sweet green behind the ear one you got here, born with full Canadian rights because those before you fought for it and you're going to perhaps one day fight to now maintain them and the shitty part is, you're still not even "free". You might very well "feel" more free than me, "the immigrant" but I got you beat when it comes to seeing the world for what it's worth. Sure, Canada is worth losing your life to keep, but is it worth losing your life if the country is rotted from the top down? The even harsher reality is that, it could of been any country that my dad picked to move to, Canada probably 'seemed' safer and far away from all that corruption and civil war.
Like I told buddy in the previous replies, I'm lucky to be in Canada and that's how far I can see into the future, but rest assured us Central Americans like a good old fashion vendetta, we don't forget any slight or bullies for that matter. There's a difference between turning tail and running when the battle is going south and swearing on what ever you need to swear on and surviving to fight another day. So yeah, I wouldn't place trust in me at this point of my life. That's just me though, second generation Canadian. So let's all hope it doesn't come down to that Grinder, cause I sure do like well water.

Nothing is more irritating than having to spend a lot of extra work going to Youtube to find a video that really isn't in the context of the topic.
The Foxnews clip I just posted isn't a hyperlink, I simply copy/pasted the url into my post. I'll go ahead and fix that. If that's what you meant?

Getting back on topic...
John Wheeler got whacked.
I haven't been able to find any updates about the death of Mr. Wheeler that offers any new findings or insights. What I'm coming across are just week old reports that are nothing too new to me personally. I won't bother linking them, they're available through you're regular media outlets.
I find the whole situation disturbing. I've written about Mr. Wheeler back in college. There were other odd ball incidents happening in and around the days leading up to the discovery of his remains. Fish and birds being found dead in a couple of states... which is a whole other ball game.
So I guess this thread is about those dead animals too, who knows, maybe it's all one in the same, who's to say? Never the less, all too disturbing imo.
Anyone else been tracking this John Wheeler story? What I know of him is just from the 2 months of me studying his life and career, he seemed as a behind the scenes type of guy. Little bit of a nerd you know. So as you could perhaps imagine, I was taken back a bit when I heard about the loss of his life.
