I have found and compiled a few interesting websites and articles that can probably open a few eyes. (Assuming they are willing to look...) The picture above links to an illustration that describes an actual suggested plan called Operation Northwoods that would blame government sponsored terror on Cuba as a pretext for an invasion of the island nation. Now, however much I hate communists, it is simply disgusting to think that our countries own Chief of Staff, Lyman L. Lemnitzer, would suggest killing innocent Americans in order to stage a war against them.

This is real, people!

Also, if you click HERE you will find an article written in 2002 (after the invasion of Afghanistan, but before the invasion of Iraq) that describes the current administrations plan to wage war on various countries and to broaden the US military presence in the Middle East. I consider this article to be extremely insightful, considering its context, and simply amazing when you recall recent events. Everything that we have seen unfold in the last 5 years was planned well before hand, and the fact that our own Vice President, Dick Cheney, and his cronies were already planning a Northwoods style event in order to allow their plan to unfold is truly disturbing.

Please take the time to read the aformentioned articles, as well as the documents that are referred to (The Project for the New American Century and Rebuilding America's Defenses), in order to better understand the nature of the current situation that we all inhabit. We no longer have honorable men, who we can intrust with our freedoms, like the assasinated President John F. Kennedy. We are reaching a point of no return and there is a war on for you mind.

They say that hindsight is 20/20. I guess this is why we are able to be so critical of the German people allowing Hitler to rise to power, as well as there inability to see the tyranny that eventually overtook them, and how they seemed so willing to accept it. How will the future see the people of the United States in the beginning of the 21st century?

Hey, all you dedicated readers (cause I can tell by the hit counter that I have at least a few), I'm truly sorry that I haven't updated recently. There are a few reasons for this and they are listed below:

1. My monitor died suddenly. I woke up one day a few weeks ago and my monitor simply wasn't working. Fortunately, my good friend Chuck let me borrow his monitor for awhile while he was out of town, but now he is back in town because....
2. Both Chuck and I have been working on a new short film called "Script Cops." It is a parody on the TV show COPS, but they arrest bad screenwriters. Hopefully this project will become a collection of trailers for the Austin Film Festival. It's is being directed by on of my former professors, Scott Rice, and forged from the labor of an incredible cast and crew. The shoot has been taking place during the last 2 days and it ends on Sunday. Anyone who knows anything about the film business knows that shooting days can be long and tiring. Friday was over 12 hours and Saturday was about 10 or so. Tomorrow will probably be something of the same. (In case anyone cares, I'm the U-Haul truck driver and Production Assitant on this project)

So, anyway, this is part of the reason that I haven't been on the net recently (or updating my blog.) There are actually tons of things I would like to be talking about. I hope everyone is keeping an eye on the Middle East and the possible looming threat of World War 3. I wish that I could spend a little more time reading the news, but I'll have to save it until the shoot is over. I find myself indulging in the ignorance that seems to consume most americans, but it's a false sense of security. The world is changing right before our eyes!

I will be finished on Monday with a few things to do:

1. Go back to work (even though my boss is on Vaction...so I guess, really, I'm on vacation)
2. Plan my trip to Colorado to visit my Grandfather and my Aunt (..and the VIP Coors Tour!) I'll be gone from July 27th - 31st.
   
3. Get ready to move to motherfucking Los Angeles, California.

I will post more in the coming week!

While we certainly aren't in the thick of the war at this moment, I'd say we are near the beginning of what could very well become a large scale global conflict.

The image above shows you the nations involved in the last global conflict, World War II, which was over 60 years ago. As you can see, not all of these countries were involved in fighting, but the effects of global conflict are just that, global.

As americans we have been lucky. For the last two generations we have suffered no social hardship. Unfortunately, I am of the belief that this is going to be the reason that the coming crisis will be a shock and most likely unbelievable for most americans.

War is not something that we as humans have out grown. In fact, it is one of the more evident characteristics of our species. We have been waring with each other since the beginning of recorded history and it would be ignorant to think that it won't continue.

While this is certainly not something to excited about, or look forward to, it is better to be informed than ignorant. We are inhabitants of a society, a society that is reliant on a global infrastructure. This infrastructure is at risk and that is something that should interest everyone.

I have avoided talking too much about politics and global events in the beginning stages of this blog because it is summer time, soccer has been going on, and overall nothing TOO exciting or has been in the news lately. Well, that sure has changed. If you have been reading or watching the news at all in the last few weeks, or especially in the last few days, you have seen that there is a major escalation in the Isreali-Arab conflict in the Middle East. This is a huge development in the world, which is so closely hinging on global conflict. Seems unimaginalbe that we could see another World War, I know, but wait...does it really? The last one was only 60 years ago, that's what's incredible.

I keep a very close eye on current events and I have some strong opinions about the goings on in the world. Believe me, as the old cliche says," not everything is as it seems". I will continuely post links to websites and news stories online that are of interest.

This fantastic country we live in is being destroyed by rouge elements of our government and foreign governments. We are being lied to and manipulated. Below are a few links that should help to inform anyone that is curious to learn more about the reality that we inhabit.

- Infowars.com - This website helped open my eyes to what is going on in the world and the people who are behind it. It may seem crazy to believe some of the things you will read on this site, but if you take time to free your mind, and just try to look at it objectively, I promise you will learn something.

Also, if you are intersted in seeing an amazing new movie about the history of government sponsored terrorism (like that commited on Sept. 11th, 2001) then you should watch Terrorstorm by Alex Jones.

Some other interesting websites and blogs that I normally read for news include:
1. WindsofChange.net
2. CNN.com
3. BBCnews.com
4. PortalofEvil.com
5. WhatReallyHappened.com

This country was founded by our forefathers who openly admitted that governments should be feared. We are living in a world where those in power have learned techniques to control mass populations in order to secure their own wealth, power, and control. We have an opportunity to prevent that and save our freedoms, save our rights, and save our country.

WAKE UP!

Well, it's been a few days since I have updated, and I obviously haven't posted my reactions to the World Cup Final. Well...here it is..

Early tonight (Friday) I went with my good friend Pam to see the new installation in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise "Dead Man's Chest." These movies are originally drawn from a ride at a Disney theme park and have now become a major blockbuster attraction. I for one think that Disney is doing a great favor to themselves by expanding this franchise (and a great favor to me, because I love Depp and Pirates.) While these movies don't do much to expand the mind, explore the soul, or service society, they certainly are entertaining. This movie has an excellent combination of humor and action that keeps you entertained through 2 and a half hours. The CGI in this movie is incredible and I can't wait for the DVD to come out so I can see the special features.

Granted, this movie isn't a cultural masterpiece, but it isn't trying to be. Pirates of the Carribean, the entire franchise, is an exciting ride through a make believe world of pirates, booty, sword fights and rum. Right now, I'm wondering "why is the rum is always gone?"

Sunday July 9th at 1pm CST the 2006 World Cup Final Match will take place. This match will certianly be exciting and unpredictable because it includes two very different, classic, and excellent squads, France and Italy. I hope that the game is an excellent one, and I really really really hope that if it comes down to penalty kicks that there were at least some goals scored in regular time.

Prediction:
Italy 3-2


The match to decide 3rd place, between Germany and Portugal, is on Saturday July 8th at 2pm CST.

Prediction:
Germany 2-0

All over the country a new flavor of radio station has been setting up shop on the airwaves. Bob FM (103.5 in Austin, TX) claims to play ANYTHING, and the name BOB is derived from Best of the Best. I recommend that anyone who likes to have a little variety in their music try out Bob for awhile. When I'm listening I always just think about how awesome it is when a song I really love comes on, and then I think about how awesome it is for other people that really love a song when that one comes on, but I don't really care for it that much. I can just enjoy it vicariously through them, wherever they are.

So take a minute and listen to this wonderful cross section* of music.

*cross section also cross-sec·tion (krôsskshn, krs-)
n.

1. 1. A section formed by a plane cutting through an object, usually at right angles to an axis.
   2. A piece so cut or a graphic representation of such a piece.
2. Physics. A measure of the probability that an encounter between particles will result in the occurrence of a particular atomic or nuclear reaction. Also called collision cross section.
3. Statistics. A sample meant to be representative of a whole population.
4. Informal. A variety; a diversity.

Man, oh Man, what an interesting and exciting July 4th! Not only was it a great summer day (it rained at night), but there was just a handful of events taking place around the world yesterday.

First of all, the shuttle launch was successful and WE'RE BACK IN SPACE!

Also, even though it was a day to celebrate America's independence, there was still World Cup 2006 semi-finals goin' on. The USA team is of course no longer in the cup, but it was still entertaining watching the Italian team defeat Germany on their own soil.

Finally, North Korea seems to think that firing off missles is a good way to celebrate the 4th. Apparently they got confused by all the fireworks. (I think.) Anyway, North Korea, seriously, what are you doing?

Sure, there were plenty of other aspects to the day that were really only witnessed by me (and the people around me) that also made my July 4th, 2006 a great one, but I won't bore you with those details here. IM me at gobuffs10 on AIM and ask me how my 4th went!
