No 🇺🇸 Flags In Philly?

*EDITED... In the spirit of providing accurate information, I am reposting this with an image sent to me by someone attending the DNC Convention in Philadelphia ->

So, Philadelphia is the one city that is pretty much considered to be the Birthplace of America where the Founding Fathers gathered to draft and sign the Declaration of Independence.  However, as the Democrats gather this week to select and celebrate their Nominee for the 2016 Presidential Election, something is notably absent... the American Flag 🇺🇸.  

In scanning through video and images of the floor fracas one can see the Palestinian and even Soviet-era flags being brandished.  In considering this, I dropped messages to several media types that are in Philadelphia covering the convention and were also in Cleveland last week for the Republican Convention.  Keep in mind that these reporters/journalists come from both ends of the media spectrum.  Here's what I've figured out...

The 'flags' behind Donald Trump at the RNC were digital renditions.

Neither Party is being particularly patriotic as they are really just tools of their corporate sponsors.  The DNC and GOP are both run by elitists that hold themselves above Us and believe that they are entitled to tell We The People who We can 'choose' as Our elected representatives.  This merely goes to show what a disaster We The People have allowed to happen to Our government... the real issue being; 

What will We The People do about this?

Trolled...Fish, Food and Freedom

That's pretty much what I write about folks. I love Fish and consider myself quite the knowledgable advocate for the protection of the fish. I love Food and also consider myself quite the knowledgable advocate for healthy foods. I love Freedom and once again I consider myself quite the knowledgable advocate for the preservation of liberty in America.

Now let's break that down for a minute here... Of those three general topics, which would be considered as something controversial; The Fish, The Food or The Freedom? To me the Fish and the Food are fairly non-controversial. Sure people can get pretty riled up about polluting the waters and food supplies with chemicals and genetically modified organisms, but not like they do when it comes to Freedom. When You start promoting the preservation of the Freedoms secured by We The People in the US Constitution, the tones change. The passions become deeper and the emotions higher.

In today's American society, electronic communications has become a really intricate part of almost everyone's daily lives. It is used to plan and organized events and share funny pictures of cats. People rely upon being able to google something quickly or buy that just right gift almost instantaneously. I use it to stay alert on the topics of Fish, Food and Freedom with a mainly Alaska centric focus. On this blog and social media platforms, I rant and rave about these things quite a bit.

So... what the point of this particular posting? This posting is addressed to a reader, Mr. Jeff Peters the 'editor' for HackSurfer.com. This website touts itself as Social Cyber Intelligence by SurfWatch Labs. That company is a private threat assessment and security solutions provider founded by "former US Government Intelligence analysts to go beyond the low-level threat intelligence approach that can drown organizations in data". So, I'd like to know why these guys are trolling me? Any Ideas? Maybe they'll let me know huh?

What is a Revolution?

There has to be a changing of the mindsets of We The People before 'revolution' can be achieved. Now in seeing that term, does it invoke images of George Washington crossing the icy Delaware or Colonists sniping at Brits through the trees? If it does, then the idea of revolution has been soiled.

In the following video from Alternative Media TV, the commentator does an excellent job of explaining this by using the words of John Adams. This most committed and prolific of the Founding Fathers explained that 'revolution' was the realization by those Colonists that they did not have to abide by the tyrannical rulings of an out of touch government. It was an awakening to the simple fact that human lives and liberty trump the greed of a godless state and it's business masters.

In the simplistic definition of the term, it means to turn around or change a social structure. This doesn't necessarily mean 'rebellion' and violence, although in the realm of societal politics, it often becomes that. This occurs when the establishment that is being challenged deems it appropriate to either ignore the will of People or to use direct action to squelch that will.

In America, revolution became the resolve of the early Colonists that felt that their will and voices were being ignored by the King and his compatriots that ran the colonies. Those brave folks decided that they couldn't live under the edicts of a ruler and they stood up and spoke out. But that wasn't enough, as resistance to the crown was met with often dire consequences. Eventually, people committed themselves to re-establishing a state of liberty in the colonies.

All across America, people gather annually to 'celebrate' the actions of the colonists, but the memory of those great men and women is all that remains. America has become a shell of itself and is failing in it's Constitution. Now that the oppression is paid for and enforced by We The People, standing up and speaking out is looked upon as traitorous, when in fact is is the most Patriotic thing that can be done.

Are You as an American fearful of what the Corporacratic beast will do to You for being a Patriot? If you answered 'Yes', then you are correct. It has already happened that the US Government's mass quagmire of security agencies has been used to alienate, imprison and even kill Americans that stood up and spoke out. How many people should suffer for their voices before We The People demand a change?

On Ferguson...

On Ferguson...

Folks, I surely hope that the Grand Jury had the wisdom of Solomon as they made their final vote.  The law enforcement officers and fellow Americans that are standing in the streets around America are in for some difficult times ahead.  There chosen profession has now put them at the focal point of a whole helluva' lot of public resentment towards the government.  The movements that have co-opted this tragic event to further destructive and non-productive agendas should be ashamed... but they're not.

I feel for the young man's family on a human level.  No parent should ever have to hear the news of their child's death.  It's in humane... but that doesn't justify the calls for violence and vigilantism that are being echoed across the public response to this issue.  Fighting Fire with Fire is a tactic best left to professionals.

Right now, there is a plethora of LEO's congregating on and around Ferguson, with all sorts of toys and tactics.  But, the hard thing to figure out is this, What is their goal?  Are they there to protect of provoke?  I sincerely hope it is the former, because if their actions are for the latter, America is going to lose in the end.

#StaySafeFerguson!

Happy Easter Folks...

**I began writing this last December...

Next year Alaskans will be choosing several candidates to represent them in Juneau and Washington DC.  The 2014 cycle will prove to be a critical election for our state.  The outcome is totally up to We The People...

We have already seen the influences of outside interests rear their ugly heads in the already crowded US Senate race.  Incumbent Mark Begich (D) has already begun complaining about outside spending for advertising, despite the fact that something 66% of his campaign funding comes from "outside".  The GOP opposition field is quite well stacked too.  This race will be pivotal in deciding if the process is truly representative of We The People or yet another pacifying action by the corporate interests.

As the US Senate race is currently in the spotlight... the race for Alaska's sole seat in the US House of Representatives is also another important contest.  The incumbent, Don Young has been serving in DC for 40 years and vows to serve until he feels like someone worthy comes along.  Obviously this goes right along with the voters of Alaska's intentions, because they keep in electing him.  Despite federal investigations of campaign finance fraud and kickbacks... "The Don" of Alaska politics pretty much is assured re-election in 2014. 

But... We The People also have the opportunity to take back our State government from the big corporate interests that have been in control for the last 50 years.  Currently the sitting Governor is facing a top-down appointed candidate from the Democratic Party and no one else.  This position is the one that true conservative Alaskans should be concerned with. 

Sean Parnell has consistently proven to be representing the best interests of outside and foreign corporations over those of Alaska time and time again.  Sure he has used the battle cry of federal over reach and state sovereignty time and time again, but reality shows something  altogether different happening in Juneau.

... 

April 2014 update:

As expected the elections in Alaska are running both the left and right tracks straight down the rails of the corporcorruphypocripolitical train straight back around again and again as big media and outside interests have hijacked the process from We The People.  But let's not be vague and put out what's really happening.

The culture in Alaska itself has become so dependant upon the resource extraction industry and the federal government that We might as well say most people in Alaska are on some form of welfare.  Whether from the government or the big foreign/outside corporations, they dole out just enough to make it work for their benefit, not Ours.  Unfortunately this has become business as usual in Alaska and the Voters seem content as kong as they can hit up a Wal-Mart on the way home from whatever adventure or task they may have been on.  But how many even think about the future of Alaska of what they see now? 

So enough ranting for now...

Recently Senator Begich came out publicly in support of the EPA's decision to initiate the 404c Clean Water Act process to deny permits to a foreign interest wishing to develop the prospect known as Pebble.  Folks, let's be honest with ourselves and admit that he did this purely to gain political points with Alaska Natives and Environmentalists.  This same thing was done by Murkowski in 2010 as she used her position to get the AKGOP to abandon it's own and to garner support within the Alaska Natives.  The biggest supporters of the Alaskans Standing Together PAC were Bob Gilliam and BBNC...the No Pebble lobby.  That didn't work out so well for them as Senator Murkowski continued business as usual upon her return to her home in DC.  This is exactly what Begich is playing at now...he knew he was vulnerable and has secured that sector and probably the election. 

Now... back to what We The People can do; first is to unregister as a R or D.  Staying in those corporate parties is idiotic thinking and really quite traitorous.  Secondly...We The People must begin physically involving ourselves in how our communities and state are run.  American Apathy must be abandoned and Citizen control restored or else all is for naught.

OFA + GOP = SNAFU X 4EVER 4 WTP

    The President's State of the Union Address this week confirmed that the supposed elected representatives in Washington DC do not +Represent.Us anymore and that they through their actions and inactions have become the anti-thesis of what the Founding Fathers and Framers of the US Constitution set-up for Our Nation.

President Obama confirms with his #1 Ally on Capitol Hill

Politicians & Strippers . .. ...

The only thing I can say for certain about the ACA... it's a disaster. Nothing specific about it...it's overall a badly thought out over encompassing catastrophic mess that has helped to feed into the media driven, corporately promoted for their own benefit quagmire of corrupted crap!

The Affordable Care Act has fed into the division of We The People and allowed the government to impose rules that allow almost absolute control over many important aspects of Our lives.  Yes...it is the  "law" of the land, but it can be repealed.  The first step to doing so is to #Defund DC by impeaching EVERY elected representative in Washington DC.  We The People must replace them with people sworn to the Oath and the Service of We The People.

Currently there is a organization attempting to gain some strength back for Us..the Citizens of the United States of America.  The organization is called Represent.Us and they are banding together Citizen Co-Sponsors of The American Anti-Corruption Act.  Folks...I suggest you read it through and share it along.  It's definitely worth the time.  If I wasn't so remote, I'd devote some time to promoting it.

So... you all know I like a bit of levity with my politics, So check out this video from Represent.Us:

We Don't Need No Water . .. ...

Oh Boy Folks...
    The US Government has supposedly been "shutdown" for a Week or so now according to the mainstream corporate press outlets and of course NPR.  But I beg to differ, the mere fact that this is being used as a means to hijack Our Government proves that OUR Government has been ShutDown to US for a long, long time.  They stopped listening and caring and looking out for the one's providing their resources...We The People.

    What's your take on this "shutdown" of a duplicitous system that robs the citizenry under false pretense for the benefit of a few corporate masters?  If your offended by "dirty" language then you might not wanna watch this video which sort of sums up my current feelings about the corrupted and rotten federal government quagmire -->

The MoneyMaze Game...#DefundDC

It's ALL broken folks and there's no denying it.  All the trillions in debt that We The People are supposedly on the hook for are ALL made up.

Time to #DefundDC

Foreign entities own 34.2% of all U.S. government-issued debt, with the following nations' individuals and institutions representing the five biggest holders of that debt, again ranked from low to high:

• United Kingdom: 0.9%
• Brazil: 1.6%
• "Oil Exporters", which includes Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait,Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Gabon, Libya, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates: 1.7%
• Japan: 7.0%
• China (including Hong Kong): 8.1%

All other nations hold approximately 15% of the U.S. outstanding national debt.

Quit blaming the Republicans and the Democrats...it's ALL of them.  The system has failed and is in need of restoration.  It' ain't rocket science or brain surgery folks, it good ole' common sense.

#DefundDC... what's really needed is a great big ole' time out...no program or spending expansion for a minimum of a year. Then roll back the duplicitous and wasteful programs... retire the federal government's regulatory control over everything.

A Warning To Congress...

To the Congress of the

United States of America

From We The People 

#NoMoreWarForOil!

I have never nor will I ever advocate for violent confrontation with the US Government over it's corrupted policies and actions.  However...this video makes a few excellent points that I feel Our elected representatives in Washington DC and ALL of the State Capitols should heed.  We The People oppose this action being considered by President Obama that is based on 1/2Lies and Greed for the resource extraction industry.  

It's high time that Our government begin representing the will of #WeThePeople and focusing the efforts of Our Resources on the betterment of America and not on the bank accounts and lavish lives of a privileged few.  If you are reading this after watching the video and you still support the Obama Administration in it's desire to strike out against the rest of the World... then I pray for you and yours because you are ignorant and foolish!  IF that offended you...GOOD!  That means it's #TRUTH!

June 7 . . .

"Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances. That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.”

The Lees Resolution was introduced to the Continental Congress on this day in 1776.This began a frantic month of writing and politicking amongst the men of the Continental Congress.  The sharing of these writings happened through what were called Committees of Correspondence (CoC). Mr. Lee was one of the founders of the CoC in colonial America.
