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?

Purple Rain in Alaska?


Purple Rain in Alaska?
So, trolling down the main avenues of the Alaskan social media realm. Occasionally darting back and forth from side to side before safely returning to the center line, I have noticed an remarked increase in the crying and whining and suffrage that the folks on either side have begun voicing in the last several days since the outcome of both the US Senate race and the Alaska Governor's race finally settled in, unlike this year's Winter.
Usually there's snow across a great portion of Alaska and people are able to get out. They can engage in skiing, snow machining and ice fishing. But not this year, the abnormally high temperatures and the strafing of Typhoon remnants has bathed Alaska in rain. Is this the new weather pattern for Alaska?
But there's another rain that is falling as well and I'd like to dedicate the following video to those that feel like Alaska lost when she voted to Oust Sean Parnell from Juneau and Mark Begich from DC. No, Dan Sullivan may not have been the best choice, but I believe that We The People of Alaska are going to spend a bit more time watching what's going on. With the advent of social media, people can more quickly and effectively communicate and organize.
BTW... Purple Rain turned 30 this year, So let's take a look back at AK History from 1984. Ted Stevens won his US Senate race against John Havelock with a whopping 71.17% of the vote. Wow!
http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php…
The PFD amount was $331.29 which equates to $762.15 @ a 2.82% annual inflation rate. This years dividend of $1884.00 would be worth $818.92. What this all works out to is that with inflation, the Permanent Fund payout is only worth about 7% more than it was 30 years ago. Wow!
Serial killer Robert Hanson was convicted of his heinous crimes.
And finally, this tidbit of trivia. Former Governor Palin competed in the Miss Alaska Pageant.

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.

GMO Fish: From Panama to DC...





Currently there are two version of legislation on Capitol Hill regarding the creation and marketing of Genetically Modified Salmon.  Both of these were Originally Sponsored by Alaskan DC Delegation Members Mark Begich (D) US Senate and Don Young (R) US House of Representatives. I decided to see who out there was trying to influence Our Congress on this issue…

Congressional Lobbying 2013:
On the Pro-Side of the senate bill We find The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission spending $20,000 in the first quarter of 2013 for: Issues related to FY 2013 and FY 2014 fisheries management funding; FY 2013 Appropriations; FY 2014 Appropriations; Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act Reauthorization; S.246 Prevention of Escapement of Genetically Altered Salmon; Coast Guard Reauthorization Act; Atlantic Coastal Act Reauthorization with a firm called Blank Rome.  There is also Friends of The Earth filing to have spent less than $5000.00 in lobbying various issues that also included this one. 

On the Anti side of the Senate and House bills we find the company trying to develop and market this technology, Aqua Bounty and The American Renderers Association (ARA).  The ARA is an 80-year-old meat production and packing industry association that focuses on producing products with animal by-waste.  One of the products is fish food, which they have already seen great success with in providing to the Chilean fish farming industry.

Let’s look at who Aqua Bounty is:

Significant Shareholders:

                    - Intrexon Corporation
53.75%
                    - Alejandro Weinstein (1)
17.66%
             

Alejandro Weinstein is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CFR Pharmaceuticals. ß A Chilean Foreign National



Intrexon Ownership:
Intrexon is a developing and growing bio-genetic engineering company aiming at creating synthetic life. 

Intrexon just went public not long ago and a majority of the purchased stocks are controlled by a fund run by a group known as Third Security.  The public offering was underwritten by J.P. Morgan and raised over a billion dollars.  The stock value from this company has also enjoyed a 25%+ growth since it’s IPO.   Their founder and CEO is Randal J. Kirk.  He just happens to the CEO and Founder of Intrexon. Forbes lists Mr. Kirk at #143 of their Top 400 Wealthiest People in America.  Also on the Board of Intrexon are former CEOs of both Monsanto and Pfizer. 







Aqua Bounty and Washington D.C.


Aqua Bounty has contracted with a leading Food and Drug lobbyist firm called Policy Directions Inc.  The lead lobbyists for Aqua Bounty are Jill Homer Stewart and Stephen L. Kopperud.  Let’s look at Mrs. Stewart’s employment history:  


Prior to professional government emplyment she had also interned for Rep. Gary Condit.  Both Visclosky and Condit are listed in lobbyist filings as having had been contacted by Policy Directions concerning the GMO Salmon legislation representing both the American Renderers Association and Aqua Bounty. 





Naturally the FDA was the federal agency most listed in the rather vague filings… but the congressional staffers and such are listed as well.  Congressional Contacts on behalf of Aqua Bounty in 2013 on : FDA approval of transgenic salmon eggs including S. 246.
 Labeling of foods from biotech animals including HR 584, S. 248 and S. Amendment to S. Con Res. 8.

2013 First Quarter:
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U.S. SENATE, Agriculture - Dept of (USDA), Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS)

2013 Second Quarter:
 Rep. Peter Visclosky
Rep. Robert Weygand
Sen. Dianne Feinstein
Rep. Gary Condit

2013 Third Quarter:
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U.S. SENATE, Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Agriculture - Dept of (USDA), U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)


Third Security campaign contributions aren’t too shabby either:
Randal Kirk was one a few Americans that donated $50000 to President Obama’s Inauguration Fund in 2009.  That’s ten times the amount allowed as a personal contribution during the election cycle. 


They tend to bounce back and forth from Republican to Democrat, but it is interesting to know that Mr. Krk not only donated to the Inauguration, but he also gave $16000 to Obama’s Victory Fund and another $2300 to Obama for America.








Life Cycle of the GMO Salmon:

The GMO Salmon begins as eggs in a lab located in Massachusetts…then goes to ditch’s in Panama.  These eggs have been genetically modified and combined with an Atlantic fish called the Ocean Pout.

The Battle For Bristol Bay

Here is the trailer for a project I have been working on for quite sometime now... sort of a culmination of several years of effort and a few new things.

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.

The Affordable Care Act


This isn't a Republican or Democratic issue, it's an ALL AMERICAN issue.  Our Congress has enacted a set of laws that provides them exemptions to something that is mandated upon We The People.

It's plain and simple folks. . . The Affordable Care Act is a disaster form the first word to the last and must be repealed.  American's deserve affordable healthcare, but not mandated like this.  There are sections in the ACA (Which I have read most of.) that aren't even related to Healthcare and all this Act does is basically nationalize the medical services industry workers as quasi-government employees/contractors.

In order to address the issues that ACA was supposed to fix, they have to be properly identified:

1.  Why  does it cost so much for a person to go see the Doctor?

     (A) Liability Insurance for practitioners has become both mandated by law and needs as the ambulance chasers have driven the basic costs of doing business sky high.

     (B)  A constantly variable regulatory environment requiring perpetual upgrades and modifications to everything required by increasing laws and administrative codes implemented by governing entities.


2.  Why has the usage rate of medical care risen so much in the last 50 years?

     (A)  The dramatic increase in people "needing" to go see the Doctor in the last 50 years created a new marketplace for industry.  The Pharmaceutical industry focused on addressing symptoms and ignored causes in order to push their drugs upon consumers in a sustainable way.  It's only good business to extend the life of a disease or issue if it makes you money in the long run.  Why cure Cancer if you aren't going to get paid for it anymore...unless you create a new health issue altogether.

     (B)  The entire food chain in the last 50 Years has been attacked by chemicals and genetically modified organisms that have by fact attributed to the general decline in health across the globe.  Generational consumption of polluted foods has contributed heavily to the healthcare dilemma. With all the chemicals used to try and keep people from dying of natural causes and interference with the order of things...it's no wonder the entire World is sick.



It's really that simple folks... those two questions are the core of the problems.  Granted the answers are a bit more complicated, but not so much so that the common citizen can't understand.  When the government has to pass a law making a person go and spend money to see the Doctor... then there's obviously a breakdown along the line. The Federal Government is to be the emissary for We The People... not the Master.

Thanks for standing up to this task Senator Rand Paul... It's a start, but there are a few other things about the HOW government and Congress are conducting themselves that must be addressed, and soon.

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!
