STILL think I’m nuts with this takeover stuff?
Read this and see if what I wrote here starts making more sense to you.
“One business owner in the United States tells me that InfraGard members are being advised on how to prepare for a martial law situation—and what their role might be,” writes Matthew Rothschild in the Feb. 7 report, quoting an anonymous whistleblower on the program. “‘Then they said when—not if—martial law is declared, it was our responsibility to protect our portion of the infrastructure, and if we had to use deadly force to protect it, we couldn’t be prosecuted,’ he says.”
**My bolding**
When looking at these type of things, I don’t look at them by themselves, I think they must be looked at as part of an overall pattern, and that pattern is getting pretty clear at this point….and ultimately, I always go back to “What would I do in THEIR shoes?”, and odd decisions start making perfect sense…
Christian Music?!?!?! What?!?!?
Ok, this bugs me…..here and there on the World Wide Internet, I get slagged because people are thinking that what I do is Christian Music. Now I have nothing against Christian Music per se (except that many of the “artists” doing it aren’t real Christians, just greedy and desperate), but I couldn’t be further from it.
First of all, I’m not a Christian…there I said it.
In fact I’m kinda REALLY far from it….believing as I do that most organized religion is pretty bad for people in general, and also believing that most religions are based in the very human conceit that we matter much in the context of the cosmos, which the science shows pretty clearly we DON’T. Which I don’t find bothersome at all, in fact it’s not only ok, it’s liberating and refreshing to know that what I do actually CAN’T make the sky fall….so really let’s just be happy etc etc etc…
Anyways…..IT’S NOT CHRISTIAN MUSIC…..to ME anyways….
I DO believe that music should be whatever the listener wants it to be, so if some of my stuff has that kind of meaning to you, then run with that….music isn’t about me telling YOU what it is, it’s about some nebulous place in between us that is it’s own thing that the two of us create when I provide some music for you to use as the soundtrack of your life for those minutes that you’re listening to it.
I will admit to being spiritual, but not in any organized sense…it’s more like just really being amazed by the complexity and beauty inherent in the simplest things in life that are happening all around all the time….. and some of my stuff certainly reflects that I’m sure….awe and wonder is appropriate in the context of the human experience.
Anyways, it’s NOT Christian music to me….

A REAL threat to America…..
While we hear about tiny little Iranian boats harassing our giant monolithic skyscraper-like battleships as though it signaled Armageddon, and we shuffle along with hundreds of other airline victims in lines that take forever holding our shoes and wrestling with the logic of not getting to bring our own water with us, and allowing ourselves to be taped and eavesdropped upon like prison inmates…etc etc….the list goes on forever – the real problems start to surface….
Through the quarter-century in which China has been opening to world trade, Chinese leaders have deliberately held down living standards for their own people and propped them up in the United States. This is the real meaning of the vast trade surplus—$1.4 trillion and counting, going up by about $1 billion per day—that the Chinese government has mostly parked in U.S. Treasury notes. In effect, every person in the (rich) United States has over the past 10 years or so borrowed about $4,000 from someone in the (poor) People’s Republic of China. Like so many imbalances in economics, this one can’t go on indefinitely, and therefore won’t. But the way it ends—suddenly versus gradually, for predictable reasons versus during a panic—will make an enormous difference to the U.S. and Chinese economies over the next few years, to say nothing of bystanders in Europe and elsewhere.
This isn’t a joke, and I’m not making those numbers up…..one must wonder….if we are SOOOOO in debt to a country that has very real needs that will very shortly be coming into direct conflict with our own in possibly catastrophic ways, what kinda shape will we be in? And who can possibly think THAT isn’t a huge problem on our horizon? Why are we doing this on one hand and yet giving away every freedom in the name of safety while committing suicide with the other hand?
A rational person begins to wonder how it could be possible that we aren’t talking about these things all the time in every media, and begins to wonder about their own sanity when it seems like everyone else is suffering from some sort of mass-insanity….it feels like living in the movie “Idiocracy”….
