Respect for Heath Anyone?

We all know Heath Ledger died the other day, but I’m really sickened that the details of his death that are being repeatedly shared on the news, internet, talk shows, etc.  Is nothing sacred?  Can’t they just say he died, and when the autopsy comes back tell us either yes or no to the drug overdose suspicions?  Why are they sharing information about how they found him, who found him, what was found in his room, etc.?!  Does that strike anyone else as wrong and disrespectful to him and his family?  I wont even bother repeating all the details, because I’m sure everyone has heard them already.  I just think that some things are personal, and your physical state and placement when you are found dead is one of them. 

Interesting Interview

If you’re tired of E!News being interrupted by commercials for artificial knees, might I recommend watching the following…

On YouTube there is a 5 part interview with historian Antony Sutton that is really worth checking out.  I would have pasted the actual video here but I’m an idiot- so I’ll have to trust that you are smart enough to go to YouTube and type in Antony Sutton.

 Note:  Antony Sutton was (he’s dead) a British-born economist, historian, and writer. He was a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution from 1968 to 1973. He is a former economics professor at California State University Los Angeles. He was educated at the universities of London, Goettingen and California with a D.Sc. degree from University of Southampton, England. (Source)

The interview is a little old but is about Yale’s secret Order of Skull and Bones, and looking at Sutton’s credentials I think it’s really worth listening to.  I know I’m really into conspiracies, but this is something that is important and interesting.

Media Sluts

Censored Stories of 2007

This website tells you about the stories your favorite news programs decided to omit.  I guess Paris Hilton going to jail, fires in Malibu, and popular YouTube videos were deemed more important. 

Television is OWNED by a handful of corporations, thanks to the hushed Telecommunications Act of 1996.  Because of this act, big companies like Disney, Viacom, General Electric, and Turner Broadcasting were able to buy up EVERY network.  Every channel is coming from one of eight sources.  This is fact.  This maybe would not be a big deal, except that these large corporations have decided to play politics, and filter out stories that might cast a bad light on what they support.  I don’t have a problem with real Republicans, but many of the people running these huge Media Corporations have ties to ‘neo-cons’ and crooket officials (I won’t bother listing names, you know who they are). 

So if you want to hear REAL news… stories that should concern us, check out the above site.  The news is supposed to be unbiased and objective, and politically neutral.  We should not have “conservative” and “liberal” stations.  We should have unfiltered true news.  Not the handpicked fluff these broadcasters are deciding to show us.

Another good site for real news is The Centerfor Public Integrity.  This news source is run by an ex CNN boss… who got tired of all the censorship and left CNN.

This is not conspiracy theory… these are real stories that we just didn’t hear about. 

Current Status and Hypothesis for the Future

I don’t know if world issues seem to be getting scarier because I am getting older and paying attention more or what, but I have a feeling that the world is going to reach its boiling point soon, and that will not be good.

After hearing Condoleezza Rice’s (link goes to npr article) annoucement about what is currently being done about Iran, my initial hypothesis is that our current “diplomatic” attempts to halt nuclear advancements will fail, we will go to war with Iran, perhaps another terrorist attack will occur on US soil, and martial law will be declared… thwarting my dreams of Ron Paul taking over and fixing our boo boos.  This would suck, but I’m a pessimist so hopefully that wont happen.

Hopefully the Iran “embargo” will work, but I just have a feeling that this is about more than nuclear power.  It does not make sense for any country to consider bombing the US (ESPECIALLY with nuclear weapons) because retalliation would be devastating, there is no way a country like Iran could survive our counterattack should the decide to strike!  So what is the threat?  What do they have against us?  What do we have against them?

Going to war with Iran would be an even bigger mistake than Iraq. 

Has anyone ever had a wasp nest in their back yard?  The occassional wasp will circle your pop can, and the nest hangs ominously from your favorite elm tree.  Something must be done about the nest, you can’t have hundreds of wasps in your back yard!  What happens if they all come out at once and sting you!?  So what do you do?  You go get your tennis racket and decide the only way to get rid of the nest is to knock it down and crush it.  What happens after you successfully disconnect nest from tree branch?  I hope you aren’t allergic.

This is what the US is doing to Iran, and vice versa.  The powers that be are obviously antagonizing each other, and this will not result in anything short of a disaster.

If anyone has any insight or would like to start a discussion about what the future may hold… please share.

Thanks!
