Today
I'm feeling sort of off .... always hard to describe feelings, part of the fun :)
In my own bubble, completely insulated, i feel like i need to lash out at something. Of course WHAT is something i need to consider BEFORE lashing out .... but all things in their place. Lord, please send me a telemarketer today *grin* ...
SO i'm chatting with my kids last night, as we do. And the question was posed, "Dad, why don't we have a tv?" ... Now this is ground we've covered before, and obviously something made this return to the fore, so i asked why she ask. Teasing was the unexpected answer, she gets teased because she didn't see this, or doesn't watch that. I pointed out something which re-affirms my decision every time.
TV is a simple choice, yes or no. Either you have one or not. Neither answer should be particularly strange.
However, the reaction of someone to hearing that you don't have one is ALWAYS incredulity. They don't believe you. They can't bend their minds to that. THAT, to me, is odd. The kids agree btw.
SO we've identified that there in indeed something odd about TV, especially by people who watch it, and the "blankness" they display. We discussed soap operas, and how sad it is that so many people all over the world are so totally tuned in to these fictional adrenalin highs (it's always so over excited), that when you visit with them, they pay more attention to the fake lives than your own real life. Again, the kids confirmed seeing all this for themselves, it IS self evident.
They added that the kids at school were very violent minded, and swore a lot, and my kids even put forward that sw that it was violence on tv, amongst other things that pushed the other kids to bad behaviour.
Of course my role as parent and teacher came up, and how seeing as tv is as we discussed above, it was my decision to keep that from them. All of this comes together in the role of the parent to protect, and even asking the kids directly whether they agreed with my decision, they did so. Again, this IS self evident.
I make no pretence to be a perfect parent, and i tell my kids this. However, we all know what our roles and duties should be. For me, to provide the healthiest environment for my family. For them, to learn and follow the rules, while having as much freedom to grow as possible. Accepting that it doesn't always work is good, because then when it DOESN'T, you then have a framework of understanding to fall back on.
Teasing is part of that, when the home life conflicts in some way with the outside world. Something that they have had a lot of already, and will have to endure much more of. Another snippet that came out last night hurt.
"Daddy,they called me white cockroach today, because i'm the only white in my class".
Um, verbatim. Fortunately we are better than that, and i explained how all this nonsense was fear based, INDIVIDUALS who are afraid, and become part of a group to allay those fears, and how from within that group, any stupid or hurtful idea takes flight, and becomes reality, usually to the detriment of someone completely innocent.
However, racism in sa is not dead, it's apparently alive and well, just, well politically correct. It hurts, knowing as i do the real history of sa, and how this one problem has haunted every racial group that has ever tried to live peacefully here.

Rest in peace
After Sunday's accident, the outsurance marshalls did not want to return to the streets. No suprises there. Losing a comrade is hard, and from what i saw this morning, this is a very close group of people.
The idea was simple, a wreath laying ceremony at the scene of the crash. So we started at their offices in Kelvin, and escorted them to the crash scene on the M1 highway, under the grayston bridge.
About 20 bikes, plus the staff van and 2 or 3 cars, including 702 eyewitness news. We did what we do best, we stopped traffic. Each intersection in turn in morning peak hour. The pointsmen rode through Sandton like the kings they are.
The memorial was as memorials are. On the side of the highway, i couldn't even hear what was said, drowned out by the constant roar of traffic. But the emotion were real. The loss and grief mixing wih the dirt and broken bike still lying scattered around. The team held hands while they prayed, a long line of support for each other.
It was a very ... poignant moment. Full of meaning and things unsaid. It was fitting on the side of the road. I have always loved the road. In the words of Jethro Tull "... and the motorway stretches, right up to us all, isn't just, too damn real?"
But this love is two edged. It's mankinds answer to the river. Except instead of bringing life and calm, it brings death, noise, dirt and decay. Rivers of death. I have spent much time on these rivers. Walking, cycling, cars, trucks, bikes, and some others too. To become too close to this river is to invite disaster, with sceaming death flying past every second, be sure to have your wits about you. This is their office, their trade, their workbench. In the dust streets full of metal madness, their duty is to remain calm, and to save these mad men-machines from destrying each other.
And again, even during a "funeral procession" you feel the arrogance, annoyance, impatience of the drivrs. HURRY UP! GET OUT MY WAY! is the mantra they chant in petrol fumes and spinning metal. I gave one guy the finger. Leaned over his bonnet and shoved it in his face. He deserved it too.
I sincerely hope those i met today continue for many years, avoiding the death their work space brings. And if you see one on the road, be nice to them. They deserve our respect, for their bravery and tenacity in doing what needs to be done.

R.I.P. Outsurance Pointsmen
IOL
July 26 2009 at 03:35PM
Two pointsmen driving scooters were killed on the N1 near the Grayston offramp while travelling to the 702 Walk the Talk on Sunday, Johannesburg emergency services said.
"They were on their way to the 702 Walk the Talk starting point in Marks Park when they were hit by a car from behind," said spokesperson Percy Morokane.
A Toyota Yaris driving in the fast lane had moved into the left lane and allegedly crashed into them at 4am Sunday. The two, aged 26 and 35, were part of a convey of 11 pointsmen travelling to the fun walk.
Both men died on the scene. The driver of the Yaris and his passenger escaped with minor bruises.
Police spokesperson Constable Neria Malefetse said the 26-year-old driver had his blood alcohol level tested at the scene and was allegedly four times over the legal limit.
______________________________________________________________________
R.I.P. to both. In the line of duty.
Michael and Stanly
I'm devastated. 11 bikes in convoy, with high vis vests, and some worthless piece of shit killed 2 of them. When are we as a nation going to start taking acvtion against drunk drivers. This judge fucking motata, lynch him! People who behave in such a way have no place in our society.
If you know someone who drives when drunk, break his car! Give him punctures!! Fuckit, slap him with a baseball bat i don't give a fuck.
ENOUGH OF THIS SENSELESSNESS!!!!!!!

Have you ever ...
Have you ever stood
On the edge
Of nothing?
Vast emptiness
Pulling you in
Vacuum in space
Hole in time
Light behind
Close your eyes
Jump
No scream
No end
Falling, tumbling
Awake?
No…dream?
Terror inside
Try to rise
Thick black darkness
Covers the mind
Tranquil whispers
Call your name
Willing, lulling
You to sleep
Not yet
Fear forbids
Floating, sideways
Upside down
Where where
Everywhere
Not at all
I ask
Implore
Teasing answers
Caress and stroke
Eluding touch
But sigh
Felt within
Forever without
Where is light?
Air to breathe
Songs to hear
Another place
Long ago
Forever far
Further than thought
Closer than ever
Out of reach
Tempting teasing
Fate will out
Where to now?
Away away away
From this …
Place?
Animal passion
Enfolds
Surrounds
Consumes
Me.

Charlie
I broke no laws, not god's laws, not man's law. What I preached is beyond the court's understanding.
I am my own god, I am my own government, I am my own court, I am my own world.
The gist is stick your parole. I'm not interested. I could have your parole, and have no soul, but i will shirk your parole and keep my soul.
I'm a con man. I don't need money. Sure I'm rich, I've got resources, and they're all within my heart.

Mandela asked for 67 minutes
In a society where corruption is rife, Mandela has no meaning! In a society where leaders have no moral integrity, Mandela means nothing! In a society where the love of material wealth takes precedence over social progress, the celebration of Mandela is nothing more than good or bad performance in a theatre. Are these ills not ubiquitous in South Africa today?

Simple Twist of Fate
Bob Dylan
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
It was then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.
They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.
A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a-beat-up shade where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
He woke up the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again how long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate.
People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring
She was born in spring but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

Bread and circuses
iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses.
translation:
Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses (Juvenal, Satire 10.77–8)
What does it mean?
"Bread and circuses" (or Bread and games) (from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metaphor for handouts and petty amusements that politicians use to gain popular support, instead of gaining it through sound policy. The phrase is invoked not only to criticize politicians, but also to criticize their supporters for giving up their civic duty.

The sentinel
Protesters disrupt illegal sale
Fuck them, no really. Whoever came up with the retarded idea to flog the heritage of south africa to the highest bidder should be left for vultures and wild dogs.
I have memories of the Sentinel fom childhood. It IS a sentinel, guarding the Hout Bay harbour It's beautiful, pristene, proud and immensely reassuring.
Good for whoever threw stones and faced the police ... oh and fuck the pigs too.
But hey, they won. Nobody bought it. Most likely scared of being lynched the moment they left the building. Good. Let that be notice.
What is wrong with another wildlife park where they can leave it the fuck alone please? I think they think that too. :D

Who is the Maitreya?
So this word keeps popping up: Maitreya. Who or what? And i find the following site, which has all the info you could wish for:
http://share-international.org/maitreya/Ma_main.htm
"He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah.
Although the names are different, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya (pronounced my-tray-ah)."
Oh really?
"The Great Invocation, used by the Christ for the first time in June 1945, "
So he's old right?
No.
The June 1945 invocation was by Alice Bailey, of the Luciferian Press ... yo know, the UN officail printing press? (now renamed to Lucis Trust, for obvious reasons)
And thanks to wiki we have this:
"Maitreya’s overshadowing of Jesus
The followers of Benjamin Creme and Alice A. Bailey believe in the Nestorian/Gnostic Christology promulgated by C.W. Leadbeater which asserts that Maitreya overshadowed the Master Jesus during the Ministry of Jesus, such that there were two beings (two souls) in one body--Maitreya was Christ and the Master Jesus was Jesus of Nazareth; the combination of the two beings--two entities in one body--functioned as Jesus Christ. [8][9]Those adherent to the Ascended Master Teachings, a group of religions based on Theosophy, believe in the existence of the Maitreya; however, they believe that although he encouraged the mission of Jesus, he did not actually overshadow Jesus. [10]"
SO we have: Theosophy, a new messiah, (who is the old one only better) and peace and love a happiness to all the good children of the world.
As per his handler "benjamin creme":
"Maitreya materialized a physical body for himself in early 1977 in the Himalayas and then on Friday, 8 July 1977 he booked an airplane flight from Pakistan to London.[16] When he landed in London, this was the esoteric Second Coming of Christ (since Maitreya had not yet revealed himself to the world). He then took up residence in secret in the Brick Lane neighborhood of that city."
So not only is all that, he's just a regular guy. Here is something else that pokes my "wtf" buttons: (wrt the great invocation)
"It can be made even more potent. Used in triangular formation it becomes very potent. If you wish to work this way, arrange with two friends to use the Invocation, aloud, daily. You need not be in the same town, or country, or say it at the same time of day. Simply say it when convenient for each one, and, linking-up mentally with the two other members, visualize a triangle of white light circulating above your heads and see it linked to a network of such triangles covering the world."
Jesus Christ said, "I am come in my father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43).
This maitreya is coming in his own name, can also guess he'll produce miracles and wonders on demand. All very happy new age and all that, saying the right things. The warning bell comes from a few things, most notably the "forecasting" of his appearance. Whatever you or i think, there are people who both believe in lucifer's supremacy, and this blokes necessity.
Fortunately, he's not the only, there are by my count 4 people so claim messianity, that have material assistance to back up that claim, these aren't crazy men, the have the backing of the UN, and other influential organisations.
And the fact that the bible said so. I'm not following the "bible script", they are. Even if you wish to trash the entire bible as fiction, THESE PEOPLE believe very much in it. They also believe they're right and it's wrong. That's what scares me the most. Self fulfilling prophecy anyone?
http://share-international.org/maitreya/Ma_main.htm
"He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah.
Although the names are different, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya (pronounced my-tray-ah)."
Oh really?
"The Great Invocation, used by the Christ for the first time in June 1945, "
So he's old right?
No.
The June 1945 invocation was by Alice Bailey, of the Luciferian Press ... yo know, the UN officail printing press? (now renamed to Lucis Trust, for obvious reasons)
And thanks to wiki we have this:
"Maitreya’s overshadowing of Jesus
The followers of Benjamin Creme and Alice A. Bailey believe in the Nestorian/Gnostic Christology promulgated by C.W. Leadbeater which asserts that Maitreya overshadowed the Master Jesus during the Ministry of Jesus, such that there were two beings (two souls) in one body--Maitreya was Christ and the Master Jesus was Jesus of Nazareth; the combination of the two beings--two entities in one body--functioned as Jesus Christ. [8][9]Those adherent to the Ascended Master Teachings, a group of religions based on Theosophy, believe in the existence of the Maitreya; however, they believe that although he encouraged the mission of Jesus, he did not actually overshadow Jesus. [10]"
SO we have: Theosophy, a new messiah, (who is the old one only better) and peace and love a happiness to all the good children of the world.
As per his handler "benjamin creme":
"Maitreya materialized a physical body for himself in early 1977 in the Himalayas and then on Friday, 8 July 1977 he booked an airplane flight from Pakistan to London.[16] When he landed in London, this was the esoteric Second Coming of Christ (since Maitreya had not yet revealed himself to the world). He then took up residence in secret in the Brick Lane neighborhood of that city."
So not only is all that, he's just a regular guy. Here is something else that pokes my "wtf" buttons: (wrt the great invocation)
"It can be made even more potent. Used in triangular formation it becomes very potent. If you wish to work this way, arrange with two friends to use the Invocation, aloud, daily. You need not be in the same town, or country, or say it at the same time of day. Simply say it when convenient for each one, and, linking-up mentally with the two other members, visualize a triangle of white light circulating above your heads and see it linked to a network of such triangles covering the world."
Jesus Christ said, "I am come in my father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43).
This maitreya is coming in his own name, can also guess he'll produce miracles and wonders on demand. All very happy new age and all that, saying the right things. The warning bell comes from a few things, most notably the "forecasting" of his appearance. Whatever you or i think, there are people who both believe in lucifer's supremacy, and this blokes necessity.
Fortunately, he's not the only, there are by my count 4 people so claim messianity, that have material assistance to back up that claim, these aren't crazy men, the have the backing of the UN, and other influential organisations.

A pill a day ... kills you
From: The BBC
Taking a pill to treat depression is widely believed to work by reversing a chemical imbalance.
If you've seen a doctor with emotional problems some time over the last 20 years, you may have been told that you had a chemical imbalance, and that you needed tablets to correct it.
It's not just doctors that think this way, either.
Magazines, newspapers, patients' organisations and internet sites have all publicised the idea that conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can be treated by drugs that help to rectify an underlying brain problem.
People with schizophrenia and other conditions are frequently told that they need to take psychiatric medication for the rest of their lives to stabilise their brain chemicals, just like a diabetic needs to take insulin.
The trouble is there is little justification for this view of psychiatric drugs.

Licenses
And they still cannot get it right!
See the bit in bold. This is after having installed millions worth of cameras and other special technology to fraud proof the system.
What is never accurately portrayed are the innocent people, who paid for and earned the licenses, who will now have to re-apply.
As per NEWS24:
Driver licence papers seized
2009-07-13 22:05
Johannesburg - Documents of driver and learner licences issued between January and April by the Meyerton Testing Centre have been confiscated by the Gauteng department of community safety.
Department spokesperson Thapelo Moiloa said on Monday the documents were confiscated by the department's anti-fraud and corruption unit.
They would be taken for forensic audit as part of rooting out fraud and corruption.
"This exercise should not be seen as an isolated case but will be rolled-out to other centres [in Gauteng] in due course."
Moiloa said the public was urged to report any fraudulent and corrupt activities linked to issuing of drivers and learner licences on the 24-hour toll-free line 0800-701701. - SAPA

Swine Flu URGENT
OK, so maybe i'm a bit of a fearmonger ... but this is real, and coming to a UN country near you.
See on my blogroll BIRDFLU666 ... go there, read. Jane Burgemeister, who has filed charges against WHO.
For my local friends: See point 4.
For everyone else a simple question. AIDS has been prevalent for several years now, and frankly, we're expected to behave as if nothing is wrong. (people get sued for everything for firing a HIV pos child minder, for exmple).
Yet a handful of people die from flu, which happens every year, and PANIC!!! We my get sick? These vaccines are moving in the millions, it's all public record.
Holland just bought 2 for every person in the country!! Plus, this epidemic is about to hit code 6, the highest WHO threat code. Which means that TAMIFLU, which has been PROVEN dangerous, and past it's sell by, is now able to be "brought out" and used on the population, by gunpoint.
This is africa, they won't get far, except for kids.
DO NOT LET THEM VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN.
If you want to know any more,look into the 196 flu outbreak in america, and the subsequant fuck up.
DATA SET 1 1. An “informal” [e.g., illegal] clinical trial of the Avian Flu vaccine on about 200 Polish vagrants resulted in 11 immediate deaths and an additional set of 20 later deaths (approximately 15% of the test population). The doctors and nurses involved were charged with murder. (Fact. 2008)
2. Approximately 3500 Chinese children died in an Avian Flu vaccine experiment. (Rumor, 2008)
3. The Philippine High Court convicted WHO (The World Health Organization) of involuntarily sterilizing over 3 million Philippina women through the use of vaccines. (Fact)
4. The WHO in 1985 documented that one of its’ primary goals for the use of a sterility vaccine disguised as a smallpox vaccine was to “eliminate 150 million excess Sub Saharan Africans”. (Fact, 1985-ongoing)
5. The WHO 5-shot vaccine programs for tetanus in third world countries in South and Central America caused the involuntary sterilization of millions of women. (Fact, ongoing)
6. Monsanto’s MON 810 corn causes sterility according to studies published by the Austrian Government. (Fact, 2009)
7. Monsanto’s MON 810 corn contains the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus which, when ingested, lowers the bodies CD 4 cells to a point which, on immune tests, indicate that a person has HIV/AIDS. The lowered CD 4 cells results from eating GMO corn, the staple of the diet in many parts of Black Africa. MON 810 is grown in Europe for animal feed and in many places, including the US, around the world for human food. (Fact, ongoing)
8. Merck’s Gardasil vaccine causes death, collapse and chronic illness in young woman and girls, including a new, never-before described “disease” called Juvenile ALS, a fatal condition in which the nervous system is slowly destroyed while consciousness remains unimpaired. This vaccine increases cervical cancer by 44.7% in women and girls who already have Human Papilloma Virus. Cervical Cancer is easily detected and cured in early stages and is not a major killer of women. Gardasil contains substances which may cause sterility in women receiving it and any protection lasts only a few years, so 9 year olds will probably not be sexually active by the time this protection has worn off. (Fact, ongoing)
9. Baxter International Inc. was in the process of applying for a contract to provide Avian Flu vaccines to European countries in the event of an Avian Flu epidemic. Its Austrian laboratory shipped Seasonal Flu vaccines to 18 countries in Europe. A laboratory technician tested the Baxter Seasonal Flu vaccines sent to the Czech Republic and discovered that they were contaminated with a highly pathogenic version of the Avian Flu, 72 Kilograms of it, although Level 3 precautions were in place and such contamination “could not have happened accidentally” according to experts in the field. No documentation of the destruction of this highly infective material has been provided although the Austrian Health Ministry insists that the deadly viral material was destroyed. (Fact, 2008, 2009)
10. A WHO investigation into the Baxter contaminated vaccine issue resulted in NO findings and in NO disciplinary actions. An Austrian investigation into the same events yielded the same results. (Fact, 2009)
11. Baxter has been rewarded with a lead role in developing, producing and disseminating the Swine Flu vaccine for the upcoming pandemic. (Fact, 2009)
12. Swine Flu was first identified to the public as a serious problem in April/May 2009 when 168 persons in Mexico were confirmed by CDC and WHO to have died from the Swine Flu. This number was later revised downward to only 16 deaths. (Fact, 2009)
13. It normally takes a minimum of 12 to 18 months to create a vaccine after a specific virus has been identified. (Fact)
14. The US Government has spent more than a billion dollars to develop and to make available the Swine flu vaccine for a disease which poses no significant health threat. (Fact, 2009)
15. The “Seed Culture” for the Swine Flu virus was provided to vaccine companies in May, 2009. Baxter International Inc. announced in June, 2009 that they would have their vaccine ready in July, 2009 . (Fact, 2009)
16. A WHO container of Swine Flu virus from Mexico City exploded on a passenger train in Luzon, Switzerland. All of the current Swiss cases of Swine Flu are from the area where the explosion took place. It is illegal to ship pathogenic viruses in this way. (Fact, 2009)
17. A significant number of virologists and other scientists are on record stating that the Swine Flu was created in a laboratory and could not evolve naturally. (Fact, 2009)

Digital TV ... 1984
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/soundsofsilence11dec08.shtml
The sounds of silence.
Does anyone recall the first Gulf War? When the US were driving into Iraq the battle hardened soldiers were surrendering en masse. It was very odd, in every way, but i believed it was choice (?).
Not so. It would seem that it was the first test of Accoustic Weaponry. Now i've been playing with mood enhancing tone generators, linked to various effects listed on a sepea compilation from a number of soures. From musical tones, to planetary frequncies, to various oils, the alleged effects on the human body has been pretty well catalogued. Not really gospel, but cle enough to have an idea of how frequencies affect us.
So this is exactly the same thing. Almost. Worse. Since it would appear that they have a very good idea of what frequency does what, and also how to deliver the message. This is not subtly enhancing moods. This is breaking into your brain with dynamite. They have it and know how to use it.
Which brings us to how. I have for a long time feared cell phone towers. I believe wholeheartedly that they have the ability to resonate at set frequencies, that can be controlled from a central point, and made to interact. IE setting 2 towers at 2 different frequencies to obtain a new wave pattern.
I certainly don't trust the sheer VOLUME of towers, look, count them. Within 1 km of my house there are about 4. Including a HUGE array at the local shopping centre. So powerful that when you are in a shop you fel the buzz. Yup, cancer causing, cell killing buzz. Almost as good as a nicotene rush, except without the pleasantness.
Anyhow, they have used this, but its a very general, almost vague tool. It affects whole suburbs, but only secondarily. It's been useful for creating anger, notice how many cell towers are in townships (!) like alexandria with last years xenophobia.
However, how much better would it be, if they had a unit in every house. Not a vague buzz, but a direct, peer to peer communication device, almost certainly always on and accepted, allowing broadcast of anything, subliminal or as in your face as wrestling .... now there is something whose time to die has come.
Not only would this unit be accepted, along with anything else beemed, but it would be a video camera too. Sci fi perhaps, but it' already been legislated. South Africa is to go DIGITAL ...yay. The reason is of course the world cup, as has been the reason for every travesty for the last 5 years. (as an aside, people ask me why i don't "support" the world cup in SA, and the reason, simply, is that it's rape. It's raping SA of badly needed resources, and pissing it away on a bunch of stupid soccer hooligans. Our children will be most upset when they work this out).
Anyhow. So the US is given away billions to there people. SA is doing the same (!) giving away money so that poor people can have a nice picture. For the international audience: the SABC is bankrupt, in debt to something like 860 million rands. Scandal after scandal, what was another prize possesin in the state's crown has become a sickly white elephant, that threatens to destroy everything around it. With this background, where the SABC is asserting it's RIGHT to charge people as much as they want, and are suiing pensioners for their pint of flesh, they cannot pay bills, cannot even keep on screen continuity, they're going to mount this massive campaign to shove these things into every house in the country.
Everyhouse. How many people do not have tv? I am 1. I am the only one i know. And when i tell people i have no tv, their first reaction is disbelief. THAT is when something tells me something is miss.
If i ask you if you smoke, or drink wine, your answer may be yay or nay, and i'll accept it gladly. Your CHOICE. Yet with tv, it's almost like there isn't a choice, you have it. Most people i know have several. Even my maid has more than 1.
Once this is in, they can listen to your every conversation. They know what you're watching. How you are reactingto it. And even worse, when you switch offthe set, they could still monitor you.
This is so bizarre, sick, freaked, wierd, crazy, and everything else, but it's hat they are doing. Now. To us. And our families.
Seriously chuck your tv. Out. You don't want it. No really. You think you want it. But you don't.

Follow the money
An old(ish) story ... but one that keeps popping up, and is very significant.
2 (allegedly) Japanese men arrested in Italy with $134 billion in bonds.
Nobody has been arrested, those 2 had diplomatic passports and were released, "goods" confiscated and absolutely nothing said. wtf?
So aside from the news reports, there are many, i found the story below that dissects the incident quite well.

Sunspot Cycle 24
The sun is awakening, with sunspot 1024 of cycle 24, we finally have a normal sunspot. It has been a very quiet period so far, with almost nothing in the last 2 years.
This suggests that there has been nothing wrong, and even the very quiet which will probably continue, is not alarming in any way.
Although, many people believe a major solar storm is on the way, hey, who knows?

Circle makers
So everyone who knows me knows my fascination with crop circles. This interest is sparked PRIMARILY because it seems like a bit of a stretch that they are man made. So imagine my surprise whe i found this site: http://www.circlemakers.org/
Thy claim to have created most of the crop circles currently being noticed. Curious.
Hidden in plain site, they have their website etc, and claim big money is being paid on producing these artworks. If they are indeed genuine, BLOODY HELL, that would be IMHO master craftsmanship of the highest order. Crop circles rely are well done, even the poorer examples, produced over night, in a field of crops.
But something doesn't seem right. Maybe i'm TOO paranoid, or maybe .... i don't know. The designs, and manner of production, as well many other anomolies, like frequently high radiation, and the manner of the "bending" of the crop has led me to believe it's an electromagnetically produced resonance. Using hidden technology (not public) yet the science for such technology does exist.
Another "fact" regarding crop circles is that they are almost always on fields where there is a high water content, and usually iron too. Ley lines are often guides to finding these too. The last is easy enough to adhere to, but why only specific crops?
It's still a mystery, and unfortunately, as much as i think these guys have something, it doesn't answer the qestion for me. Theoretically possiblewith rope and boards, yes, but likely? In the dark? Without leaving footprints?

Bill Hicks
“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.”
“I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are.”
You know all that money we spend on the military ever year - trillions of dollars? Instead, if we use this money to feed and clothe the poor of this world, which it would do many times over, then we can explore space, inner and outer, together, as one race.
I was told when I grew up I could be anything I wanted: a fireman, a policeman, a doctor - even president, it seemed. And for the first time in the history of mankind, something new, called an astronaut. But like so many kids brought up on a steady diet of westerns, I always wanted to be the avenging cowboy hero - that lone voice in the wilderness, fighting corruption and evil wherever I fount it, and standing for freedom, truth, and justice. And in my heart of hearts I still track the remnants of that dream wherever I go, in my endless ride into the setting sun.
Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is mearly energy condensed through a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream and we are the imaginations of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.

The Spirit of Humanity Hijacked
No really, the boat, Spirit of Humanity" was hijacked. This boat, carrying humanitarian goods, such as olive trees and toys, and medical supplies, was hijacked forcefully in international waters. Those aboard the ship have been kidnapped, and the boat and contents stolen.
Why is this not seen as the crime it is? Somalians are pirates, and get shot in the head. The israelis are too, but they get given money.
Except i feel for the somalis, the isrealis, they'll get theirs.
From: Information Clearing House
On June 30, the government of Israel committed an act of piracy when the Israeli Navy in international waters illegally boarded the “Spirit of Humanity,” kidnapped its 21-person crew from 11 countries, including former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Laureate Mairead MaGuire, and confiscated the cargo of medical supplies, olive trees, reconstruction materials, and children’s toys that were on the way to the Mediterranean coast of Gaza. The “Spirit of Humanity,” along with the kidnapped 21 persons, is being towed to Israel as I write.
Gaza has been described as the “world’s largest concentration camp.” It is home to 1.5 million Palestinians who were driven by force of American-supplied Israeli arms out of their homes, off their farms, and out of their villages so that Israel could steal their land and make the Palestinian land available to Israeli settlers.
...
I wouldn’t be surprised if a Nobel Laureate and a former member of the US House of Representatives, along with the rest of the crew, are handed over to the Americans for indefinite detention and for torturing and waterboarding in the American torture facility at Bagram. I am certain that “Homeland Security” and the US Government are desperate to be rid of all of critics, and knocking off a Nobel Laureate and a member of the House sets a precedent for getting rid of the rest of us.
...
The same week that “our” government in Washington told the Governor of California “not one red cent,” President Barak Obama handed over $2.775 billion to Israel.

From Session magazine
There's been a lot of it recently. Beautiful.
I had a leaking tap, so i put a hose nozzle attachment on it. Figuring that i had saved water, it would be ok to let it drip, just a little. So i have a constantly dripping water flow into th birdbath. About a drop every second or two. Keeps adding fresh water, the dogs like that water. I also noticed that when the birdbath froze over, where it kept dripping was stilnot frozen over, allowing the birds to have their morning drink. The arum lilies love the dampness, and have really grown, and the negative ion flow is noticeable in that part of the garden. So it all works out :)
The cars and trampoline were covered this morning, yet the birdbath as ice free. The structure on the tarpaulin of the trapoline was phenomenal. For the first time i saw the ice crystals standing, and understood how fractal they were. Infinity on my doorstep.

Money rant
Bit of a personal tangent here, but feel i need to share. Just point and look really. I'm an average IT guy, good job, and am fortunate in having all the basics, house food etc.
But i'm losing. Month after month it's just getting too much to live. I do it for my kids. They need: security, education, love, food, shelter, playtime and all else besides. This means that i have to provide as best i can, and in my mind, doing the 7-4 daily grind is the only way.
If i were alone i can assure you i would live very differently. For starters i wouldn't ever come to the big city, except to maybe visit family. Tried that though, living in a rural town, and i couldn't hardly provide for myself, never mind a family.
So i go to work everyday. A round trip of 60 km. Despite having bought a bike, for petrol and maintenance saving. It still costs me over a quarter of my salary to get to work and back. About R2500 per month, including insurance, although NOT including maintenance, like tyres, brakes, etc.
Medical aid is somwhere around R2000 a month. Also a NECESSITY. You cannot allow a loved one to descend the hell of the public health system. I've seen enough people walk in and die through neglect.
School fees are high, around R1500 for 2 kids in primary shool, again, not negatiable, despite it being a government school, and the closest to us. This excludes uniforms, stationary, and other stuff.
Elecricity is the killer, and honestly i can no longer afford to use heaters. So i have heaters i cannot afford to use, security lights i cannot afford to use, a pool i never run. Despite this, electricity is to increase a staggering 31%.
Taxes, all shapes and sizes.
Through the high petrol price, i cannot really travel. Seldom can i visit friends in the evenings, as it's a calculable cost, which tends to sober any "spur of the moment" decisions.
I don't do breakfast runs on the bike. And never eat out. And never go to bars.
Despite this, the pressure is incereasing exponentially. Soon i will be required to pay 50cents per kilometre on my route to work, something that will immediately add R30 PER DAY. Or R600 per month. For something that i, as citizen have already paid for. It currently costs more in toll fees than petrol to travel to durban.
This is not going away. I cannot DO anything, and even simple hobbies seem like too much money. Daily life keeps me in debt. Any time we have ever broken even with our accounts, we are beset with repairs, car, bike, house or medical. Or receive a stupidly large electricity bill, say R5000, which must be paid or else. You query, get messed around, get angry, depressed, and poor.
So i stay home mostly, tinker with whatever i can, read books on my c, because even buying books is out of my range. Look, i read, i read well, but isn't it alarming when BOOKS are too expensive?
And then comes christmas, and SERIOUSLY fucks everyting up again. An annual fuck you from society. When i suggest that we drop the solar festival that has FUCKALL to do with JESUS CHRIST, or GOD, or us even, i get told: "but the children, you can't do that". Why not? My kids break anything you give them. Within hours usually. Even, ESPECIALLY the expensive stuff. They become the most horrid caricatures of greedy, thoughtless, selfish children. ANd i must smile and sell my soul for THAT?
I have my son "opportunistically taking" money to prove to his schoolmates that he isn't poor. It's all wrong. I have been mulling a post called: I am the problem.
I am. My life, my habits, needs and wants are what is killing society. And i am someone who is aware, and actively works towards creating a better now.
I believe in changing your world by starting at home. But i am so limited in choices that free will seems absurd.
Ok, i'm done, i think. Please hear me, this isn't a pity party. My life is not bad, nor unusual, and i know i'm better off than most. It's not enough. you fight all your life, and still get nowhere. This blog, and the window on the web is a life saver, for my mind. It's my soul that concerns me.
