The Truth can't be Refuted nor Censored


The case of the shooting is a horrendous situation. There are some people who say that it's a conspiracy. Yet, we don't have all of the critical facts in this case. All forms of information should be exposed before a comprehensive picture is manufactured about the evil events inside of Aurora, Colorado. James Holmes called himself "The Joker." His actions denote his tendency to possess alter personas and believing that he was in inner worlds. That is why some experts believe that Holmes could possess symptoms of schizophrenia or being programmed to act a certain way. When the police finally apprehended Holmes, he told them that he was the Joker (or the famous character from Batman). He wanted to look similar to the Joker character from "The Dark Knight" movie with his dyed red hair. He told the detectives that he had taken 100 mg of the prescription painkiller Vicodin. Vicodin is a powerful drug that can create morphine like effects and it's used in mind control in order to dull out victims. The Joker in the Dark Knight was involved in mass murder and James Holmes in a sick fashion committed mass  murder in Aurora, Colorado. That is the same drug found in the body of the actor Heath Ledger when he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in 2008. The video footage of Holmes was taken at Miramar College in San Diego and showed him explaining that “temporal illusions” are “an illusion that allows you to change the past”. Holmes said he had been working on “subjective experience, which is what takes place inside the mind as oppose to the external world." This philosophy is similar to the religious tenet of Gnosticism since he wants to oppose the external world. Holmes wanted to finish up a neuroscience doctoral program in the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus. According to the Examiner, he displayed erratic behavior when he was in jail. He spit at guards and everything. His words about illusions and subjective experience are similar to the MK alter personas found in history. Still, there are a lot of questions about this case. How can a struggling student afford thousands of dollars of weapons, bullet proof vests, and explosives. Subsequent reports confirmed Holmes had received a $26,000 federal grant as a stipend for his work in the neuroscience program at the University of Colorado in Denver. However, how much of this money remained after Holmes had already been in the program for over a year is unknown. Even with an semiautomatic weapon, you need approval from the BATFE (or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Explosives) to get such a weapon. His public appearances show him as a possibly extremely drugged individual. Why did Holmes go to the expense and trouble of rigging his apartment with an array of deadly explosives and then immediately tell police about the bombs when he was arrested? If Holmes wanted to kill as many people as possible, why warn the cops ahead of time? Numerous witnesses speak about accomplices in the shooting. This information should be investigated thoroughly in order for the truth to be known. The authoritarian and anti-liberty advocate Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that cops should go on strike until citizens enact some gun control measures. This is ironic since cops don't have an obligation to protect citizens anyway (as said by the Supreme Court). Citizens that are well armed and trained in firearm training (who are law abiding) can protect human beings, family, and property in many cases better than the police. The police has harmed the lives of citizens in Anaheim, CA. Again, the police attacked citizens who were legally protesting the murder of 2 people by cops. The Anaheim police shot rubber bullets and unleashed dogs on the protesters. Cell phones recorded the whole incident. The police wanted to buy the video, but footage is all over the Internet. Following the attack in Anaheim, activists posted images of the “non-lethal” munitions used by the cops. The police used eXact iMpact 40mm Sponge rounds developed by the U.S. Army Research laboratory. “The eXact iMpactTM 40 mm Sponge Round will prove most successful for incapacitation when used within its optimal energy range of approximately 5 – 36 meters,” a document issued by the manufacturer, Safariland, explains. It induces “sufficient pain stimulus” and is designed to “enhance chemical munitions, or targeting specific agitators and organizers of the crowd” exercising their First Amendment right to protest against police violence. I don't believe in vandalizing property, but I do believe in protesting injustice.  Ironically, if the police followed Bloomberg's advice, the Anaheim incident wouldn't transpire in the first place. This doesn't mean that all police are terrorists, but some are. A human's right to self defense is real and ought to be protected.


Old lies sometimes are still among. One of the biggest lies of some Republicans and reactionaries is that they believe that Hitler was a socialist. Some of these Tea Party extremists want to promote the lie that Hitler, Mussolini, etc. were socialists. They are out of the mainstream. This lie can be refuted in many levels. I refuted this lie before too. Extremists use this lie as a means to fight against progressive efforts to promote human rights for all human beings (without exceptions). The extremists want to equate their dissenters with the ideological views of the Nazis, which is a slander. Now, socialism is when the public or the people owns the means of production in society. Similar semi-socialist nations exist today in Northern Europe and Asia. Today, such nations have high levels of productivity and growth. There are strong social welfare benefits and other public goods in those nations as well. The government in those nations dictate the price for goods and services, but they allow the market to serve this function. We in America have a mixed economy and that has worked well for us too. In America, it's so taboo to talk about socialism publicly, but we should evaluate economic systems via in a mature fashion. Now, the Nazis started in 1919 as a reactionary, right wing, militaristic organization. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that wanted to confuse members of the German Socialist, Marxist, and Communist parties or at least steal members of them. Before Hitler was in power, the progressives were in power with the Weimar Republic. Universal health care was in Germany during this time period before the arrival of the Nazis. The Nazis didn't have political power. Even the reactionary state Bavaria temporarily became a Soviet Republic in 1919. Hitler's support came from the aristocrats, reactionaries (like Luddendorff, Von Pappen, Hindenburg, etc.), and radical German nationalist movements, etc. not socialists. Nazi Germany privatized industry and banking. They weren't nationalized or placed into the collective ownership of workers' groups. That's the smoking gun that Hitler wasn't a socialist. See, socialism teaches that the economy is heavily controlled by public ownership of goods and services not by corporations. Hitler said that he would retain private control of the economy. Hitler abolished all labor unions to make sure that his regime's interests would be preserved. Nazis were totalitarians where they ruled from the top down (or the establishment centralized power and dominated the lives of the people). Hitler restricted the German workers from collectively bargaining with industry. This was the right won in certain German states and cities during the progressive Wiemar Republic era (or what we call the Second Reich). The Nazis didn't want peace, but ethnic warfare. The Nazis banned the writings of Marx, Engles, Lenin, and Trotsky. If Hitler was a socialist, then why would he ban and burn these words.  Racism and antisemitism is part of Nazism, which is antithetical to socialism, conservatism, liberalism, etc. The Nazis didn't redistribute the wealth of the German aristocracy. He stole wealth and property from Jewish people and other minorities to fund the Nazi empire. The Nazis exterminated members of the SA or the Strumabteilung, because the SA acted more socialistic than the SS. The Nazis executed socialists, Social-Democrats, and Communists, therefore Hitler was never a socialist. Hitler regretted having used the word "socialist" in the party name. Mussolini attacks socialists and like minded people in his own autobiography. In regard to a tax on inheritance, he says:  "Giolitti himself hoped to be able to appease the Socialists with the project of general confiscation of war profits and still more with a plan to institute a strong tax on hereditary succession. This latter measure, wholly socialistic, whould have annihilated the family conception of a patrimonial line. It would have threatened the rights of an owner to bequeath to his heirs his riches with his name. It had condconsequences which were not only economic but also moral and social. Capital as an institution is only in its infancy; the right of disposal is necessary to foster the functioning and development of this instrument of ambition, of human welfare and civilization." (My Rise and Fall, Benito Mussolini, p. 111(1928)). Mussolini was a fascist.


Poverty is a serious problem in America. It is a national epidemic today. In America, are about 100 million Americans who are either poor or near poor. This could be the highest number of percent of people in poverty in almost 50 years. About 57 percent of all children in America are living in homes that are either considered low income or impoverished. Today, one in four workers in America brings home wages that are at or below the poverty level. The Wall Street Journal reported that 49.1 percent of all Americans live in a home where at least one person receives financial benefits from the government. Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent. There are about 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing. This represents a 46 percent increase from 2001. During 2010, 2.6 million more Americans are in poverty. This was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959. There are similar stats all around in America. There are about 1.5 million American families living on less than 2 dollars a day (before counting government benefits). Federal housing assistance outlays have increased by a whopping 42 percent between 2006 and 2010. It's obvious that the corporate oligarchy is having a war on the poor. Some folks have promoted the bad polices of forced welfare drug testing against the suffering. That means that you can't get welfare if you have drugs in your system. Mandatory drug testing for public assistance recipients “has everything to do with an ongoing war against the poor in this country,” said Sara Totonchi, executive director of the Southern Center for Human Rights, in Atlanta. The Center is preparing potential legal action to thwart Georgia from imposing the tests, which courts have ruled unconstitutional. “Georgia politicians know that the way to win elections is to throw around this red meat, rhetoric-filled legislation,” said Totonchi. “Two years ago, the target was immigrants.” This war also includes the corporate media lacking real coverage of income inequality and corporate greed. They are not reporting heavily on this reality since these media operations are for one thing corporations. They benefit from this system. This nation, the United States, have so shifted to the right on issues of poverty in the past 30 that tons of American demonize the poor collectively as undeserving people with character flaws (and they deserve ridicule without compassion). The culture of rugged, selfish individualism is one reason why we have the serious poverty issues in America now. The truth is that the poor are magnificent people with great dignity and great worth. The Reagan era caused more of Americans to have an obsession with the rich and famous. Some folks even today have a contempt for the poor and working people. There are many solutions to battle against poverty. One of them isn't about austerity though. Our situation came about from bad corporate and governmental policies that benefit the super rich elite at the expense of the 99 percent. Now, to fight back, we should reduce wage inequality by raising the minim wage. This can give needed wealth to those especially starving to death. The war on terror should end completely, which can save resources to rebuild our damaged infrastructure. If trillions of dollars can be sent into the military/prison industrial complex, then billions or trillions of dollars should be spent on helping our health care, quality educational system, and other parts of our public services. As human beings, we can't be silent on poverty. We have moral imperative and spiritual imperative to fight for solutions. There is nothing new about poverty. Yet, in our generation, we have the techniques that can utilized (both in the public and private sector) that can eradicate poverty from the face of the Earth. When you have 1 percent of the world owning almost half of the world's wealth, then you have a problem here.




Vietnam was hit with an unprecedented amounts of bombs and artillery. The Pentagon detonated about 15,500,000 tons of ground and air munitions on the three countries of Indochina. There were 12,000,000 tons of explosives exploded in South Vietnam in order for them to try to defeat the National Liberation Front (backed by the North Vietnamese army). They didn't defeat the National Liberation Front. The Pentagon dumped 18,000,000 gallons of herbicides to defoliate several million acres of farmland and forests. Millions of Vietnamese suffered illness, birth defects, and deaths from these poisonous chemicals. The AP even recently reported that millions of Vietnamese suffered illnesses, birth defects, and deaths from these poisonous chemicals. Land mines and abandoned explosives since the Vietnam War killed more than 100,000 Vietnamese people. So, the Vietnam War was brutal and it involved a lot of destruction. According to Marshall Douglas Smith's Black Gold Hot Gold from 2001, the Vietnam area had oil resources. Standard Oil began a 10 year survey of the seabed off of Vietnam to see if it had extensive oil resources decades ago. The American taxpayers had to pay for such an action. Now, I understand why the anti-war movement acted so vehemently against the Vietnam War. It involved the total destruction of a nation and a people without a firm negotiated settlement into existence (until years later). Now, today, we have issues. The progressive movement are all over the Third World and the Western world too. We are certainly tied up together in advocating a fighting for environmental reform, social reforms, and developing a culture of civil liberties. Now, being anti-war is also being anti-imperialism too. For imperialism uses war as one out of many instruments in dominating basically the world population. The actions of evil are multifaceted. Yet, the good news is that people are still fighting against injustice. There are those who believe in Black Power and power for the human race in general. There is nothing wrong with Black Power. There are those who are in charities and public programs doing their best in helping individuals to achieve a better existence. 


Many people unequivocally support Ronald Reagan. I knew about Ronald Reagan for years. In this new generation, it's time to show facts about the man. The reason is that Tea Party types are still here attempting to praise him to the heavens. Now, we should show the truth about the former President Ronald Reagan without a smear job. The truth is that Ronald Reagan represented the conservative movement even when he didn't totally act conservative in all of his political policies. One person from YouTube wrote to me about Reagan being nearly some superhero, but I know the truth. The truth is that Reagan once was a Democrat and then he transformed himself into being a Goldwater Republican by the 1960's. During that time period, he issued a speech that described his opposition to the philosophy of Communism. Now, Reagan was allied by the establishment (on the Right hand of the Left/Right paradigm). For example, he was a member of the Bohemian Grove (where an idolatrous, occult Cremation of Care ritual occurs), he was a honorary 33rd Degree Freemason, and he supported the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was a blatantly unjust war, because Vietnam was no threat to America (plus a negotiated settlement could quickly end the war). Reagan in the late1960's even demonized sincere anti-war protesters. He tried to become President on numerous occasions. He failed until 1980's, because Jimmy Carter was exceedingly unpopular. The policies of Reaganomics didn't work to massively cut down poverty. In his first term, the poverty rate increased rather than decreased. It's a historical fact that cuts taxes for the rich, slashing welfare for the poor and other policies don't equate into massive economic improvements. The economic boon of 1945 to 1975 occurred because of legitimate spending, a progressive tax system, and the growth of economic (including political and social) reforms in American society. So, Ronald Reagan was wrong to attack labor when he fired the striking air traffic controllers and dissolved their union in 1981. He was wrong to have 138 Reagan administration officials to be convicted or indicted or subject to investigations (over misconduct or criminal violations). He was wrong to call the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as humiliating to the South in 1980. He was wrong to praise the Afghan Mujaheddin in 1985. He was wrong to fund the brutal Contra rebels in Nicaragua when they indiscriminately attacked civilians. Ronald Reagan slashed money from domestic program and radically increased military spending. This caused the wage gap to increase, wage levels to drop among the people, and the rich to increase into record profits during his two terms. I lived through that Reagan era of time, so I know what I am talking about.
