An article from The Atlantic.

I pretty much felt the emotions described on the last page of the article the whole time I was reading it: "What an old-timer. Newsflash Broseph - The internet isn't going anywhere." Even while I feel his point is true (which is what makes the article interesting in the first place) and it probably does change the way we think...I'm pretty sure evolution will go on. Maybe it'll even lessen everyone's (read: the author's) fear of change.

Also...I found it pretty funny that for the first three to four paragraphs I noticed myself wanting to hyperlink the fuck out of reading the whole article. It wasn't till page 2 of 4 that I really settled in. It was funny to be living in the brain circuitry he's talking about for that first page. Go internet. ADHD my ass.

Worldmapper

I internet a lot about Africa these days and it led me to this cool website, Worldmapper.

There is a good demonstration of how it can be used in that video starting a third of the way through the video (9:30).  Basically, it creates inflated world maps based on information such as population, GDP, disease, income, education, etc.  In that demo you can see Africa sucking and China blowing up like crazy, but either way, just clicking around the website is fun too.  "Thumbnail Index" is a good place to start.

Also, on that TedTalks website, the Dave Eggers TED Prize Wish presentation is really entertaining.  What a crackhead Dave Eggers is.  It's about writing centers...so Mariz and JK it obviously made me think of you two.

A More Perfect Union

I know this happened a week ago, but now that I've watched it three times I think it's worth posting. I don't really know anything about Obama, but there is no doubt this is an incredibly refreshing speech. If you've only heard about it, to me it was definitely worth the 37 minutes it takes to watch the real thing. Again, I don't really know anything about him...so if for some reason there is some major hatred going his way amongst our crew...just uhm, pretend it's someone else talking. Pretend it's me, with blackface.

Also as a side note, I wanted to show Nance this clip, but she only has Zurich e-mail.  Therefore, to get it to her so she could watch at home where YouTube is not blocked, I had to send it to my dad.  So, to preempt his bullshit, I pulled up Hannity on Fox News to see his response to the speech and found this gem.  Antisemite?  When did Jews even get involved in this?  Oh wait, it was at 7:20 when Obama defends Israel.  That Nazi.

A day in the life...

Was scouring YouTube, thought these were kind of cool:

That road the red car is on is the road I take from my apartment to school everyday!  For a cooler view, but not as action packed, there is this video:

My place is at the end of the peninsula on the right.  It goes out of view right around 00:59.

Edit:  Also, I found my apartment online too.  I live in the 1st floor/basement (it's one of those half above half below ground floors) of this vacation rental.  In the picture with the front view you can see the entrance to MY part of the house; it is a door below the little blue triangle of a roof on the far left side.  I'm the "there all the time" person for the rich dude that owns/rents it.  Although, now that I've seen the rental I feel so neglected.  I wish I had access to all that nice stuff.  If the picture was closer you could make out the family of foot long lizards and the pot plant that live in harmony in the garden next to my door.  When I saw the place I took the plant as a sign that you guys should rent the shit out of it sometime.

More Government Bullshit

If you've never read any of my posts, or read some of them partially and found their content to be objectionable or "loony" and then proceeded to ignore the rest of them, just do me this one favor and read the information that this post links to. I think it speaks very loudly to the sort of behind the scenes orchestration (involving the same key people over and over again...the Rockefeller family, I'm looking in your general direction, though I'm blinded by the foggy aura of faux charitability that emanates from the family compound like the sickening stench of an open landfill in Mexico City) that I've been decrying for the past two years, largely as a result of learning that there was and is a 9/11 cover-up.

The words of a filthy, dovish, unhinged Far-Leftist...according to Bill O'Reilly

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it? . . . . .

In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave.

It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests.

The nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations, has been the victim.

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.

It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.

As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public council? Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

USS Liberty: Attacked by Israel in 1967 during the Six Day War

This article in the Chicago Tribune on Oct. 2 is by John Crewdson, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter. He's uncovered new information and interviewed witnesses, some of whom for the first time.

I would like to know if his reporting on this event changes your perspective on any other "terrorist attacks." There's really just one question that needs to be answered: Did they cover it up because they were embarrased at the depths of their incompetence, or did they cover it up because "they" were involved in making it happen to begin with?

Just know that if Israel had been successful in sinking this ship, there would have been no survivors and there would have been no obstacles to the dissemination of the fabricated story that the Liberty was attacked by Arab enemies of Israel and the US in order to be used as justification for a wider Middle East war.

Rapid skull growth, another indicator of heavy steroids use, had placed undue strain on the slugger's neck, resulting in hairline fractures in three upper vertebrae. According to Leftwich, Anderson disclosed that, as a remedy, doctors implanted a small titanium brace at the base of Bonds' skull to keep his abnormally large head upright. The procedure was an unqualified success: He hit 73 home runs that season, breaking McGwire's record by three.

Tom Cruise Furious With Gassy Crew Member

Tom Cruise was left furious after a crew member on his latest film set passed wind during a minute's silence.

The Hollywood actor - who is currently shooting World War II drama Valkyrie in Berlin - had paused filming to honour the anti-Nazi heroes portrayed in the movie when one employee decided to use the tribute to break wind.

Fellow star Christian Berkel - who plays anti-Hitler plotter Albrecht Mertz von Quirbheim - said, "The film's director Bryan Singer, the screenplay writer Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise asked us all to observe a moment's silence shortly before we started filming."

A source on the set told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "Fortunately the mystery gassy man didn't completely ruin the touching gesture.

"Quite rightly, Tom is furious. We were filming at the Bendler Block in Germany where the anti-Nazis were executed."

The source said Cruise decided to ask for the minute's silence to show respect for the deceased and appease the German government, who only allowed the movie to be filmed if post-war Germany was shown in a positive light.

The source added, "So for somebody to pass wind in a situation like that is unforgivable."

The silence was filmed and now Cruise and the producers will go through the footage to identify the culprit, who is likely to be fired.

There is such a thing as too much money.

For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents, such as my encounter with Castro, to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

On a different note, is the curriculum for history classes in some American states restricted to learning about Hitler and the Nazis and 1938 and Hitler and Germany? It must be, because there are many right-wing fanatics whose entire understanding of the world is reduced in every instance to that sole historical event -- as though the world began in 1937, ended in 1945, and we just re-live that moment in time over and over and over:

Love war? You are Churchill, a noble warrior. Oppose war? You're Chamberlain, a vile appeaser. And everyone else is Hitler. That, more or less, composes the full scope of "thought" among this strain on the right.
