"It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland.
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story.
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!"

-Tool 'Rosetta Stoned'

Well this will probably be my last entry for the year of 2006. And of coarse we always look upon a new year with optimism and new beginnings.
I am doing that myself as well. Well the last entry i had written in here before i deleted it just now was about my purchasing the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine along with the Solis Miestro Plus grinder, along with some cappuccino cups, a frothing pitcher and thermometer and an extra La Marzocco filter basket.
But later on that day after i had ordered it and wrote on here all gleefully about my purchase, the salesperson from the site i bought the machine on called me to tell me the Solis Miestro Plus grinder that came with the package i had ordered was sold out. So he would replace it with the Baratza Vertuoso grinder with no extra charge.
So the very next day i get an e-mail from the same guy telling me that the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine is COMPLETELY sold out in all of North America and they didn't expect to get more in for another month.
So i had him cancel my order.

So i did more research on CoffeeGeek.com (the mega site for consumer reviews on all coffee related products) and decided on the Solis Crema SL 70 machine along side with the Baratza Vertuoso grinder.
The next day i call the sales person from the site to cancel the tamper i had ordered with my machine and the grinder because i found out i ordered the wrong size tamper. So the chick over the phone is looking over my order and finds out the Solis Crema SL 70 is backstocked too and they didn't know when they'd get more in.
DAMNIT!! Strike two! So i cancel my espresso machine order with them but keep the order for the grinder.
So i go on Amazon.com to look up my Solis espresso machine, i really had my heart set on it now cuz it was voted best budget machine for 2006 on CoffeeGeek.com. Anyhow, so i find it on Amazon.com selling it through a private seller.
So i place my order. The very next day i find out from the seller that the Solis is sold out with them too!!
AGGGHHH!!! So I go back to CoffeeGeek.com and look at where they had recommended you buy it. So they point me in the direction of SeattleCoffeeGear.com and i find my Solis machine and place ANOTHER order with them. This time i did it at around 11 o'clock at night and the customer service line was closed for the night.
The next morning i call up the customer service line and ask them to look to see if the Solis Crema SL 70 is in stock. Sure enough, it was out of stock. So they guy over the phone offered to sell me the up graded version of the Solis Crema SL 70, the Solis Crema SL 90 (which i made sure they look to see if it was in fact in stock) and he offered to sell it to me at a discounted price.
Fuck yeah!!
So it ships on Tuesday. Probably won't get it for a week or two cuz since i spent so much (about $419) the shipping was free.
The Solis Crema SL 90 comes with a free can of Lavazza coffee (which is real cool, its coffee imported from Italy, very popular in Italy and "Coffee Angels" on Wadsworth uses Lavazza coffee, very good coffee), a frothing pitcher, a thermometer, and espresso machine cleaner all for free. Pretty cool!

My grinder was supposed to ship a few days ago, but it hasn't yet. So on Monday i'll check my status on the site and if it isn't ready to ship yet i'm just going to cancel the order and go get a burr grinder from Starbucks. The Starbucks burr grinder is actually the Solis grinder i had wanted at first to pair up with the Rancilio Silvia. Starbucks just renamed to grinder to "Starbucks Barista".
I dunno we'll see. I'm pretty excited about it though. I'm finally getting my machine! It may not be the Silvia, the one i had my heart set on but this one i got sounds really cool. It's pretty much an automatic machine, the only thing i don't like is the portafilter basket size is really small, it's 53 mm when the average size for a portafilter basket on any other espresso machine is 58 mm.
Oh well, beggars can't be choosers i guess.

David Lynch Goes Public On 9/11

Oh my god! I have just discovered the greatest news i have heard in a while!
Maynard's wine is now available to order on line! Apparently it's been available to order on line since November 13th.
DAMNIT!! I wish i would of found out about this then! He had 3 of his very first wines available for sale and now 2 of them are sold out and now the $88 wine is the only one still available!
SHIT!! Why the fuck does it have to be the holidays, other wise i'd buy it!
Ahhh!!

It Tickled Me Pink....


So this week Justin has been on vacation, which has been nice having at home so much. He's been getting in a lot of poker time on line while Adara watches her cartoons in the mornings and i sleep.
But this week i've involved Justin in on my "Coffee House Hunting."
I've been mapping out all the different coffee houses around the city and going to em. Just yesterday i stumbled across a website called Delocator.net and you type in your area code and it pulls up all the addresses and phone numbers of all the independent coffee houses around you.
Last night we tried to find two i found on that site that are in Old Littleton but Justin's food was getting cold and we were kind of having trouble finding them so we just went to Sister's Espresso instead. Sure enough though we spotting the place when we were leaving, it's right by the light rail station, and it's called Romancing The Bean. Apparently the building has been there for 130 years. Today i'll probably venture out there and try their coffee.
Yesterday i went to Blueberries Cafe coffee up the street from old Littleton too while Justin was napping. It was good, i had a French Vanilla Mocha.
But what i'm really most excited about was earlier in the week when we ventured out to Stellas CoffeeHaus. The barista there gave me my latte with a rosetta leaf at the top!!
For those who don't know a rosetta leaf (displayed above) is a form of latte art!!
I was so tickled pink that i got to see my first latte art!! It wasn't as good as the picture about, but shit man i admire the barista for at least giving it some effort, latte art is hard to do.
Calder's Coffee in Littleton does latte art too, i've only been there once and didn't get to have any art on top on my coffee.

My boss is on vacation next week so i'll be really tired all week long, but on my day off i'm going to go out to CapuVino Coffee and Wine. Apparently it's a coffee AND wine place!

JFK Speech on Secret Societies and Freedom of the Press

43 years ago tomorrow will be the anniversary of when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas in front of the whole world.
This speech in particular is very telling for what a gigantic loss we all as Americans should feel. Kennedy in my opinion was our last great president.
He moved to abolish The Federal Reserve which is at the heart of the problems in America today. Kennedy signed a not very well known Executive Order, no 11110 in June of 1963, four months before the assassination (also, click here to read ALL Executive Orders JFK wrote throughout his Presidency, ordered by numbers). This Order returned to the Government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve Bank. Kennedy gave the Treasury the power to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury. In plain language this means that for every ounce of silver in the US Treasury vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. JFK brought nearly $4.3 billion U.S. notes into circulation. So by signing this Executive Order, he was about to put the Federal Reserve Bank (and with them all the International Bankers) out of business. The Federal Reserve Notes would eventually not be in demand anymore, and by doing so, Mr. Kennedy probably also signed his own death warrant. Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S. the ability to create its own money backed up by silver.
Another thing Kennedy wanted to do was to re-organize the CIA from within, because he considered the Agency being a Government within the Government, with too much power. Allen Dulles, who was the head of the CIA at the time did not like the idea of course, and this alone could have been the reason for the assassination.
But for more on different theories (and no they are not 'conspiracy theories') tune into Coast To Coast tomorrow night for a round table discussion about the JFK assassination. My boy Jim Marrs will be on of coarse, he wrote the famous book, "Crossfire" which Oliver Stone's movie "JFK" was based on.
It's a day of mourning for all patriots who love America and the Bill Of Rights, John Kennedy, had he lived, would of changed our country for the better. Listening to this speech and looking at the government we have today, and governments we have around the world, brings me to tears frankly.

My Bad Ass Mother Fucker


So after long research on line and much thought over the situation i have finally decided on what espresso machine and grinder i'm going to buy when i get my tax refund. The Rancilio Silvia espresso machine paired with the Rancilio Rocky doserless grinder. (Both the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine and the Rancilio Rocky grinder pictured above.) Both of these pared up will run me a cool $800. Yeah, that aspect of it sucks, and that's initially why i first decided i couldn't afford it. But after a lot of reading on CoffeeGeek.com and other coffee sites, The Rancilio Silvia is THE best consumer espresso machine you can buy for your home under $700, and it has a cult like following. From what i've read on line its a machine that's perfect for people who want to learn cafe style barista skills which is exactly what i want. I have come across some great deals on 3 different sites with the Silvia where for the same price of $800 you get the machine, the Rocky grinder, a tamper, a knockbox, frothing pitcher, and espresso cups with saucers. This one site though i found replaces the Silvia filter basket with a La Marzocco filter basket, which made my mouth water! I dunno we'll see when i actually have the $800 to really decide what package i wanna go with.
I've found some really great deals with the Rancilio Silvia. I can't wait, even when i fuck up my espresso drinks i think it's still gonna be fun to learn! :-)
From the looks of it, my espresso machine and grinder will take up a lot of our kitchen counter space, but at this point i don't care!

I came across another great little (and when i say little, i mean literally LITTLE!) coffee shop on my way to my doctors this morning.
It's right by the Conoco on Morrison Rd, and Bear Creek Blvd. It's a TINY coffee shop named "Simply The Best Coffee". I was pretty impressed. They had a La Marzocco espresso machine, a tiny one, i think it's the machine CoffeeKid did a story about that is actually a home machine. Anyway, i had a Caramel Locha and it was awesome!! They use Silver Canyon beans which is roasted here in Colorado. We sell Silver Canyon at Safeway so i was kind of pleasantly surprised to see they use those beans.
This coffee shop was really tiny, i mean you walk in and to your left is one table with 2 chairs and right in front of you is the cash register, the barista and the god machine, the La Marzocco. And above the cash register is a chalk board of the menu. Apparently they sell breakfast burritos too. Which is kind of funny cuz Sisters Espresso in Old Littleton sold breakfast burritos too.
It was a pleasant surprise to discover, i'll definitely be going back to that little coffee shop when i'm in that area of town again :-)

I'm not a Starbucks hater in the least, but the more i read about how unfair coffee farmers are treated and how they get pennies for their coffee while we spend $4 on a latte. Not to mention spend thousands on espresso machines and coffee grinders.

Now i read this about Starbucks and the Ethiopian coffee farmers and i can't help but get pissed.
I just bought my first bag of Fair Trade Coffee today too from Mile High Coffee :)
(yeah, pat myself on the back!)

Starbucks Corporate Coffee Bully

President Bush leads me to great coffee....

So over the weekend i heard in the news Bush was in town and did his weekly radio address from a local coffee house.
So right away my interest peaked, and i searched the web to find this coffee house Bush was at.
Cuz shit if the president of the united states goes to this coffee house, they have to have great coffee.
The coffee house was a little place called,"Mile High Coffee". Googleing the name also lead me to a very useful Denver Blogger called "Mile High Buzz" which is a blog completely dedicated to writing about all the Denver area coffee houses. To me this blog is really a treasure chest cuz i've been dying to visit some local coffee houses.

Last week i stopped by "Sisters Espresso" in Old Littleton, i was in the neighborhood cuz i had to take my UA. I remembered seeing the place last time i took my UA, so this time after i was done i stopped by.
I loved the atmosphere of the place, it really reminded me of a coffee house we went to in Amsterdam, the only difference being is of coarse they don't sell pot. The coffee (especially compaired to the coffee i got today at Mile High Coffee) was so-so, but the purple house they're running their coffee house out of i fell in love with! For one, i love the old houses in Old Littleton to begin with, so running a coffee house out of one of em really impressed me and brought back memories of Amsterdam.
Anyhow, over the weekend i looked over this blog "Mile High Buzz" and looked over all the coffee houses they have listed and sure enough, "Sisters Espresso" was listed on there. Some of the people who commented about that place didn't have too many kind things to say about it.
I didn't have a bad experience when i went there, i even bought Adara one of their cookies. But from some of the comments apparently the girls that own it are kind of mean. I dunno i talked to one of em and she was nice to me, but i just bought my coffee and Adara's cookie and left.

I found some gems on this blog though. I discovered a coffee house down the street from my DUI/DWAI classes that teaches barista classes and Coffee 101 classes. They also do latte art there as well, which tickled me pink. Calder's Coffee is the name of it, and from what the other bloggers said they have really good espresso. So i'm excited about going there on Thursday when i go to my last DUI/DWAI class (yeah, i'm really excited about that!! I've been in these stupid classes for 3 months now, i really can't wait for Thursday to come so i can get this shit over with and never think about it again.)
I got really excited about the Barista classes they teach until i saw on their website that you have to bring your own grinder and espresso machine. :-(

Anyhow i'm babbling. So today i ventured out to Mile High Coffee to taste what our fearless leader tasted over the weekend. OH MY GOD!! Mile High Coffee is the shit!! I got an Avalanche, which is a white mocha (they use Ghirardelli chocolate, super yummy!) topped with caramel sauce. It was awesome! The espresso was the best i have ever tasted!
And the icing on the cake for me was seeing that they were using a La Marzocco espresso machine, which is one of THE BEST espresso machines you can buy for a cafe. I fell in love! Just the joy of finally for my first time getting to taste espresso out of a La Marzocco that i've read and have heard so much about was awesome for me! (I know i'm such a coffee geek, i've come to terms with that.)
The sleeve they put on my coffee was kind of cute too, it came attached with a packet of Trident gum. :) They also use my syrups i want to use, DaVinci Gormet syrups. Added bonus.
I'm so happy though that i heard about Bush visiting Mile High Coffee or i probably would of never discovered Mile High Buzz blog and all these local coffee houses so i can finally stop going to Starbucks.
Which in all honesty, i did like Starbucks a lot, they are the soul reason why i got into coffee so much, but trying other espresso that isn't Starbucks, they're really ripping people off by serving them so-so espresso. It's like buying a hamburger at a McDonalds when the hamburger doesn't even taste like real meat!

Mile High Coffee gets their coffee beans from another local coffee house, which i'll probably go to tomorrow and try, but it's called "Kaladi Brothers Coffee", this place roasts their own beans. So on payday i'll most likely be going and buying some beans from them. The Kaladi Brothers Coffee from what i have read from other people serve the best coffee in town. They also use a La Marzocco espresso machine too.
Ahh, so many coffee houses so little money :-( Going to all of these coffee houses has really just expanded my wish to own my own coffee house.
I think i'd do what Sisters Espresso did and do it out of an old house for that Amsterdam, cozy feeling instead of some building in a shopping area.
One step at time Cristal, first you gotta buy your grinder and espresso machine :)

A Little Support Please....


I have to have a short little rant here. My brother and I use to be real close, almost like best friends. But the past few years since i've moved out we haven't been as close. I always looked up to him, looked to him for support in all my ups and downs in life.
Now i'm really to the point where i don't want to tell him anything about my life and how i feel about things. Last night he came over to play games with Justin, and he was on the computer and saw my coffee podcasts and right away was like,"What the fuck?" and Justin told him that i want to be a professional barista, and just like every other thing i've decided to do with my life, he laughed at me and just criticized me. That's exactly why i didn't even want to tell him. It feels like everything i've decided to do with my life ever since i've been old enough to make decisions for myself, he's always disagreed with me and just laughed at me.
This really hurt me because this is something i've really been excited about and he took that and just squashed it like a bug.
I'm really at the point where when Justin invites Aaron over, i'm just gonna leave. I'm tired of my own brother criticizing me for everything i think and feel. Aaron has been real annoying lately and i feel like i'm constantly at odds with him, and he keeps just poking his nose into my life, and laughing at what he sees. Now i see why a lot of people think he's annoying and don't want to be around him.

Happy Halloween!

Yet another Halloween comes and i yet again have to work :-( I think this is the 4th year in a row i've had to work on Halloween and miss out on my kids trick or treating cuz i'm sleeping. :-(
At least i have a bunch of Coast To Coast shows to listen to tonight that will scare the shit out of me, that i'm really excited about. :-) An EVP one, lots and lots of ghost stories and urban legends shows as well. Tonight is Art Bells annual "Ghost To Ghost" on Coast To Coast that he does every year. I won't get to listen to that show till i podcast it tomorrow though, should be good as always though :)
I've really been soaking in the ghost stories and urban legend shows that have been on T.V. along with a shit load of horror movies i've been recording. The Exorcist, Hellraiser, tonight i'm recording the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre :-) I was watching a really good show the other day about the Jersey Devil. I haven't seen too many shows covering The Mothman though, that urban legend i think is scary as shit. I really like the ones about haunted houses, i have one recording tonight about The Ammityville Horror house.
I wish there was one about the Bell Witch. The new movie An American Haunting is about the Bell Witch, but they totally butcher the real story and don't really tell what actually happened. As they always do in the movies though.
I love Halloween, without a doubt my favorite holiday!

America: From Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo - 14 min trailer

If you discovered that the income tax was voluntary, would you continue to volunteer?

I had what alcoholics refer to as, "a moment of clarity"....


So the the nerd in me has always been there but over the past week or two it has blossomed into a full blown GEEK! Like i was talking about in my last blog entry my desire to learn how to be a barista has grown more and more. Well, i've really been reading up on coffee, espresso, and frothing and pulling shots, etc. and i have come to the conclusion that this is my calling.This is what i would like to try to do with my life. I love it, the entire coffee world just fasinates me.
It's kind of ironic that i'm discovering this at the same time Justin is finding his calling to be a professional poker player (which i really should be more supportive about it than i have been.)
But did you know that...

-Coffee is the second-most traded commodity in the world economy, after oil.
The global coffee industry $60 billion annually. Coffee farmers earn as little as 4 cents a pound for the coffee they pick by hand.
-Most of the world's coffee is grown by small-scale coffee farming families.
25 million families around the world work in the coffee-fields and totally depend on the coffee crop as their only source of income.
-One coffee tree yields slightly less than 1 pound of coffee per year.
For every pound of gourmet coffee sold, small-coffee farmers receive between 12 cents and 25 cents.
-In Guatemala, 70 children out of every 1,000 die before age 5;
51 of those children will not live to reach their first birthdays.
-There is only 1 doctor for every 85,000 people in the Western Highlands of Guatemala.

That's fucking crazy! That some shit i never knew about coffee until i started reading up on it recently.
But i also found The American Barista and Coffee School that i would LOVE to go to. Unfortuantly it's costs a shit load of money i can not afford. And what sucks even more, is ya know how most schools are like 4 years long at most. This school, for the barista traininng and business course, it takes 6 days at most to complete! They even have coffee excursions you can go on, and go to Guatemala and visit the coffee plantation and see first hand how it's grown. I would love that, but even that for just me would cost $2,250. :-(
I would love to go but right now it would just cost too much than what i have, plus it's out in Maine and i'd also have to save money for a hotel for my 6 day stay, and when you apply you have to pay a $500 deposite. That doesn't even include the price of the class. But really compaired to most colleges it's a hell of a lot cheaper and definatly a lot less time.
I could get it done with one week of vacation from work.

If Starbucks wasn't 50% customer service i would definatly consider getting a part time job with them for practice. But i did customer service with Safeway for 4 years and it just made me hate the general population!

But in the end my ultimate desire would to be a barista and open a cafe in Amsterdam. Sell coffee and pot at the same time... ahh, THAT is my ultimate dream. Unless of coarse they completely legalize it here in America then the Amsterdam part would be erased, but i don't think that will happen anytime soon. But stranger things have happened.

South Park 9/11 Episode Equates Truthers with Anti-Semitism, Numerology and Cartman Cartoon jabs at 'retarded' public, Charlie Sheen, citing Bush incompetence


"You make those who voice a different view, version of the 'truth' and lifestyle, stand out like black sheep in the human herd. You have already conditioned the herd to accept your norms as its reality and, through arrogance and ignorance, they ridicule or condemn those with a different spin on life."- David Icke

Comedy Central has run a hit piece on the 9/11 Truth Movement apparently. I haven't seen the episode yet, and i use to have a leaste a little respect left over for the creators of South Park. Haven't really enjoyed their show since i was still in high school and still thought fart jokes were funny. I think the only episodes i've liked in recent years have been The Casa Bonita one and The Ginger Kids one.
But every time i've watched it with Justin the show really just annoys the shit out of me more than anything else.
I guess i still have to see the episode for myself before i do a personal boycott of the show, but from what i have heard about it, really pisses me off!
The piece Aaron Dykes wrote about it on JonesReport.com really has me wondering.
Granted yes i know that South Park is a comedy show and maybe they're just trying to make light of a very serious subject, but on the other hand, is it really in good taste to make fun of the people and call them "retards" who are trying to tell the other people the facts?!?! I mean the FACTS, we're not just pulling this shit out of our ass!
This just fucking blows my mind! Maybe i'm not taking it lightly when I'm on the butt end of a joke.
Yes South Park it's really funny and cute that our government killed it's own people, just like when the Nazi's did it in Germany, that was really fucking funny and cute too.
I really think you guys need to stick to what you're good at, which is making fun of celebrities. Stick to what you know.



Aaron Dykes/JonesReport.com October 11, 2006


The popular cartoon South Park launched a 9/11 hit piece, claiming that the "one-fourth" of Americans who believe the attacks were an inside job are "retards." The episode equates the 9/11 truth movement with anti-semitism, a pointless and insignificant investigation into the misuse of a bathroom, numerology, and the selfish, racist, spoiled and more-or-less evil show character Cartman, who frequently attacks the character Kyle for transgressions he blames on Jews.
By the end, though, the 9/11 conspiracy that the government perpetrated 9/11 is itself a government conspiracy. In the episode, Bush and his administration want people to believe that the government is all-powerful and could achieve absolutely anything. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone let the scene go over-the-top on purpose to play up the irony of Bush's known incompetence.
Here's a brief summation of the distorted and simplified view that South Park portrayed about the 9/11 truth movement:
- Cartman (and subsequently the episode) refer to a poll where "one-fourth" of Americans suspect the government did 9/11. However, the Scripps-Howard poll taken in late July 2006 reflects that MORE THAN ONE THIRD of voting-age Americans believe that the US government either perpetrated the September 11th attack or purposefully took no action to prevent it.
Additionally, the Zogby Poll conducted in May 2006 showed that 70 million American adults support a new investigation of 9/11. South Park not only under represented the polling numbers, but labeled that population representation as "retarded."
-The show did not challenge any of the claims made by various members of the 9/11 truth movement (though they did present various elements in an mixed, but un clarified blanket theory which poorly represented serious points and research explored). It mentioned that steel couldn't be melted by the jet fuel fires, but connected it with blame for the Jews, allowing for a continuation of Cartman attacking Kyle and the Jewish faith.
The attempt to link 9/11 Truth with anti-semitism is fallacious, as most people who believe 9/11 was an inside job blame the Bush administration. Alex Jones estimates that approximately 10-15% of that group "blames the Jews." The media continually tries to link 9/11 Truth with anti-semitism without basis.
-During the segment featuring a 911truth.org researcher, the show portrays the political dissident as a crazed, paranoid person who would even possess anthrax-- 9/11 Truthers are "nut jobs" nearly equivalent with terrorists.
-But the overriding message here is a continuation of the Bush incompetence theory. South Park makes clear that 9/11 was perpetrated by "pissed off Arabs" and that only a "retard" would think the government is capable of carrying this out.
Excuse me? Nineteen people in a cave could make NORAD stand-down, fly Cessna planes and otherwise catch an elaborate and leading intelligence network off-guard, but the government could not because Bush is a moron?
Clearly, this case, however valid, does not address the Norman Mineta testimony from the 9/11 Commission hearings that has an aide asking Dick Cheney if the "order still stands" as the planes approach their targets. According to testimony, Cheney tells the aide, "Of course the order still stands. Have you heard any different?"




9/11 Blogger October 12, 2006

Tonight Southpark focused on 9/11 conspiracy in their latest episode. I say 'focused on' quite loosely in that 9/11 conspiracy was really a sort of side show to the episode, and not the entire focus. While the episode covered some of the more common 'conspiracy theories', it didn't go into much detail on anything substantial in relation to the growing movement of those that question 9/11. Looking back on the last 2 years of my personal involvement in this subject I would have to say this is probably the largest, but definitely not the most even-handed, coverage given so far to 9/11 skeptics.
I would feel remiss if I didn't make at least a few suggestions to those that will happen upon this site for the first time and then totally forget about it, and write off everyone who questions 9/11 as crazy. I hope if this is your first time to hear of 9/11 'conspiracies' that you might spend a few minutes of your time to look over a few things
Click here to see a large number of credible patriots who openly question 9/11 Click here to watch a new documentary focused on the family members who are disgusted by the coverup of 9/11 ( official website ) Click here for the most complete timeline on 9/11 before, during, and after
If anything positive comes out of this Southpark episode I hope it is a desire for individuals to do some research on 9/11. I also hope that these individuals will realize that while some that question 9/11 may be 'crazy' (like in any grouping), it would be absurd to think that everyone who questions 9/11 is (or even a large percentage of the 40%+ who think there is a coverup are), and equally as absurd to think that our current government's corruption and willingness to lie somehow don't apply to 9/11.

Was Hunter S. Thompson Murdered?

I sorta stumbled upon this story while looking through David Icke's links he has as footnotes at the end of his chapters in "Alice In Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster Why the Official Story of 9/11 Is A Monumental Lie" that i'm currently reading at the moment.
(Fasinating book by the way!)
I was listening to The Alex Jones show the other day too, and they kind of brushed on this a bit but didn't go directly into the whole thing. Apparently Hunter S. Thompson was working on 2 major stories right up before he died.
One was about a gay prostitution ring inside the White House, and the other about the WTC collapse being done by controlled demoliton.
Quoted for a Toronto Globe and Mail article on Feburary 25, 2005:

"Hunter telephoned me on Feb. 19, the night before his death. He sounded scared. It wasn't always easy to understand what he said, particularly over the phone, he mumbled, yet when there was something he really wanted you to understand, you did. He'd been working on a story about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations. Now he thought someone was out to stop him publishing it: "They're gonna make it look like suicide," he said. "I know how these bastards think . . ."
Hunter S. Thompson ... was indeed working on such a story."

There's also the radio interview that's most famously played at the beginning of "Loose Change" where Hunter says that he believes 9/11 was an inside job.


Then there's the conflicting stories of what actually happened the night of his death.
I had originally heard the first story that he had shot himself in his kitchen. But apparently weeks later another story came out that was completely different.

"ASPEN, Colo. -- Hunter S. Thompson's body was found in a chair in the kitchen in front of his typewriter with the word "counselor" typed in the center of the page, according to sheriff's reports.
The word was typed on stationery from the Fourth Amendment Foundation, which was started to defend victims of unwarranted search and seizure, according to reports released Tuesday.
It was not immediately known what, if any, significance the word had to the founder of "gonzo" journalism or to his family.
Juan Thompson found his father dead Feb. 20 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. After reporting the death, Juan Thompson walked outside the Woody Creek home and fired three shotgun blasts into the air.
"Juan told me he had shot a shotgun into the air to mark the passing of his father," Pitkin County Deputy Sheriff John Armstrong said in his report.
Juan Thompson was allowed to go into the kitchen alone to drape a golden orange scarf over his father's shoulders, according to Armstrong. Jennifer Winkel Thompson, Juan Thompson's wife, said the family had purchased the silk scarf in Florence, Italy, and gave it to Hunter Thompson the night before.
The couple and their 6-year-old son were in the house when Thompson, 67, took a handgun, put it to his mouth and fired.
A soft-sided gun case was found at Thompson's feet along with a spent shell casing, according to reports.
The family has canceled plans for a public gathering in favor of a private service. A public event will be held at a later date. Plans also are in the works to blast Thompson's ashes from a cannon, which was one of the author's wishes."

Not only the WTC story he was working on that some people would want to supress but there's also the gay prostition sex ring story that he was working on as well.
With the whole Foleygate coming into light this past week, it's not too far fetched to imagine that this is true Hunter was breaking such a story.
And anyone who's been paying attention to the Bushies and their crimes has noticed a little known book called,"Trance Formation Of America" where the author Cathy O'Brian talks of the MK Ultra files (mind control) and talks about her and her daughter were White House sex slaves and how George H. W. Bush raped her daughter. Not to mention the front page news story on The Washington Times back in 1989 about a prostition ring inside the White House with ties all the way up to George H. W. Bush.
And of coarse in recent years the most notorious of homosexual prostitues in the White House has been Jeff Gannon.

So the question of weither Hunter commited suicide or not is definatly in question as far as i'm concerned now.

Ok let's review the past week and it's events.... hmm, can anyone find something not right? People being arrested for thought crime, torture, Big Brother, being forced to love government or you'll be sent off to the Ministry Of Love.

Oh yeah, i got my Nano today too! It's so cute, it's SO little! So sence my big Ipod is called "My Third Eye", i called my Nano "Little Eye".
Hee, hee, i love it! I've been playing with it all day!

I Love Big Brother!

Why does this not surprise me? :sigh:

Wal-Mart Expands Use Of RFID Tracking

Yeah Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas!!!

So after an entire morning of seeing Bush at ground zero and Cheney and Rumsfeld at The Pentagon, my brain was screaming for some sort of relief. I got it alright. The debate i've been waiting for all weekend! Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas, two of the guys that made the web documentary "Loose Change", the piece that was solely responsible for me going out and doing my own digging into 9/11, and discovering some shocking things along the way. A lot of it they didn't even touch on in "Loose Change". Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas debating James Meigas and David Dunbar, two sick fucks responsible for the Popular Mechanics hit piece on the 9/11 Truth movement. Total government propoganda, Micheal Chertoff's cousin did the investigative work into the hit piece.

By far the best episode of Democracy Now i've ever seen! Amy Goodman use to be a real hero of mine but after learning a lot of what i've learned in the last two months or so, i couldn't bare to watch her show anymore because she never touched 9/11. So frankly, i was very surprised that she even allowed this debate to happen on her show.

In fact i'm having real difficulty watching the old political shows i use to watch and really like. Bill Maher is one for example besides Democracy Now.
His last show on Friday he did a real cheap shot to the 9/11 Truth movement by pretty much just making fun of it. And i'm willing to bet Bill Maher has never even looked into it. It was a total cheap shot, he said,"Scholars like Charlie Sheen have joined this crowd," or something to that extent. No mention of the REAL scientists and professors and engineers and ex government officials who do say 9/11 was an inside job. It was totally unfair, he was asking P.J. O'Rourke and some dumb bitch, Joan Walsh from Slate.com, who by the way banned on their website ANY discussion of 9/11 "conspiracy theories", and the fucking lead singer of Matchbox 20, he asked THEM their opion about the 9/11 Truth movement!!! I wanted to yell and scream! Not one single person on there to defend it. Bill Maher just isn't even funny to me anymore, and his celebrity jokes he spews out every week is enough to make me wanna rip off my skin.

Ok, i'm ranting. Anyway back to the Democracy Now debate.

It was fucking GREAT! I think the Loose Change guys did a good job, they just hit these fuckers with facts and all they could spew out was they're fucking lies.
The Popular Mechanic guys mostly lied and just attacked the Loose Change guys, calling all of their facts "conspiracy theories".
There were two parts that i thought were the best. One was when they were debating the controlled demolitons of the WTC towers (which obviously was controlled demoliton, like Jim Garrison said during the JFK trail,"use your eyes, your common sence") and one of the Popular Mechanic guys says,"We are talking about human lives here," and Jason Bermas shoots back with,"Yes we are talking about human lives and you need to respect them with the truth."
Ah, it was great! But the best part was when the same Popular Mechanics guy said to Jason,"Why do you keep calling people liars?" (cuz the Popular Mechanics guys were TOTALLY lying their asses off) and Jason looked right at the guy and said,"I'm not calling anyone a liar, i'm calling YOU a liar because you are!"
Ah, fucking great shit! So click here if you'd like to watch it, it was definatly the highlight of my day!

Ya know after everything i've read and the videos i've seen of that day, especially after reading Jim Marrs new book (which for researches is like the 9/11 bible with massive on line sources and links to millions of articles and statements from government offficials.) and now i'm reading David Ray Griffen's "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions", i haven't come to a conclusion in my mind what i think happened that day, weither the Administration directly or indirectly had a hand in it. What i do know is, they KNEW the attacks were coming and when they were coming, and they let it happen. Weither they helped the terrorists hit their targets more accurately is up for debate. I just have trouble believing that people in a cave made NORAD stand down. And the strange coincidence (and i firmly don't believe in coincidences) that the military was staging war games of planes being hijacked and flown into buildings that same day, Operation Vigilant Guardian, which the 9/11 Commission barely mentions. There are just too many unanswered questions and too many coverups for me to believe the governments offical story of what happened today 5 years ago.

"The oppressed should rebel, and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them and all partial distictions, exclusions and incapacitations are removed" -Thomas Jefferson

So did ya'll hear on Tuesday that me and my brother and everyone else who questions the official story of 9/11 are terrorist recruiters now? Yes, i am a terrorist recruiter. In Bush's speech on Tuesday at the Capital Hilton Hotel he cited a document on "how to win the war on terror" in it it cites that conspiracies as one of the wellsprings of terrorism and threatens to "address" and "diminish" the problems they are causing the government in fulfilling their agenda.
Bush referred to the stategy paper as "an unclassified version of the stategy we've been pursuing since September 11, 2001," that takes into account "the changing nature of the enemy."
WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Where the fuck do i live anymore?!?!
The document (click to see the actual document on The White House's own webpage) says that terrorism springs from "subcultures of conpiracy and misinformation," and that "terrorists recruit more effectively from populations corrupted by conspiracy theories. The distortions keep alive grievances and filter out our facts that would challenge popular prejudices and self-serving propaganda."
Again, WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Oh my god, i read this shit in the news and i about blew a fucking vein in my brain it made me so fucking mad! Not only this document and Bush's speech, but 2 senators, 2 republicans said it should be illegal to question the official 9/11 story, saying that it was like Holocaust denial!
I can't remember the two senators names right now, but Alex Jones had talked about them a few days ago. On Meet The Press i think it was they went on national t.v. and said it should be illegal to deny the offical story of 9/11.
First Mike Malloy gets fired, now this shit! My week is just turning out to be FUCKING PEACHY!
If i had any doubt WHATSOEVER that the government had a hand in 9/11, i don't now. They are trying to cover up something and now calling "conpiracy theorists" (i really loathe that term now) terrorist recruiters, is just appauling.
I feel so lost right now, the more i read the news, the more i pay attention to what the White House is doing and saying, the more i feel like Winston in 1984 i swear to god!
Bush's speech on Tuesday really reminded me of the speech he had made shortly after 9/11 and which i think was very telling of the adminstration trying to cover something up. In the November 10, 2001 speech to the UN General Assembly, Bush says,"Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks on September 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift blame away from the terrorist themselves, away from the guilty."
The fact that we can't take pictures of downtown Denver while Dick Cheney is in a nearby hotel, we can't even say the term "Burning Bush" without being thrown in prison, fuck we can't even pay off our fucking credit cards without being reported to Homeland Security! And i could seriously go on and on, adding link after link of people who have been directly affected by the PATRIOT ACT.
A couple months ago i thought people were kind of over doing it when they said we we're living in an Orwellian nightmare, but almost finishing my Jim Marrs book and now with a direct threat to the 9/11 Truth Movement directly from the White House, i can agree that 1984 is alive and well in the United States.
The people that founded this country warned us that government was bad, and to always stand up to government and fight government. We seemed to have forgotten that, we have all rolled over and fell asleep and have forgotten what the founders of this country died trying to warn us. jesus christ i'm pissed today!

"The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse."- James Madison

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is just putting on its shoes. - Mark Twain


"Not only did government informants provide money and a meeting place for Batiste and his followers, but they also gave them video cameras for conducting surveillance, as well as cellphones, and suggested that their first target be a Miami FBI office, court records show."


Here i am religiously reading Jim Marrs's new book "Terror Conpiracy: Deception, 9/11 and The Loss Of Liberty" since it was delivered (thanx Infowars.com for releasing early before it hits stores on 9/11, you guys are awesome!), and what do i see on the front page of the on-line Washington Post?

Government sponsered false flag terrorism? Nah, that's just conpiracy theory.. ;-)

Alex Jones


Terror Storm "Alex Jones' latest film covers in detail the proven history of government sponsored terrorism, and focuses on the 7/7 London bombings and 9/11."

Ok, i know i've been all documentary and lecture video crazy lately, but i'm gonna post this one as well. This will be my last documentary i'm gonna post. (Until i find another good one :>)
It's Alex Jones's new "Terror Storm" that just recently came out. I was even gonna buy it off of Infowars.com cuz i wanted to see it so bad, but i did a google video search for it and found it, so last night i watched it for free! I really liked it though, when he says it's his best documentary he's ever made he's right. I've seen some other ones that he's made, and some of them are kind of boring, but unlike other documentary film makers Alex is really good at making his point. (I'm talking to you Michael Moore! You had such a good oportunity to expose 9/11 for what it really was in your 9/11 documentary and you DIDN'T!) Terror Storm is really good, he goes to London and talks to the locals about the 7/7 bombings in London. He bullhorns Parlament! It's great! He also goes to the Crawford Ranch when Cindy Sheehan was there protesting last year, and he talks to the Bush supporters.
What i really like was his compairing our modern day society to George Orwell's 1984. Mike Malloy got me to read that book, and i have to say, scariest fucking book i've ever read in my life, but it became hands down my favorite book.
Anyway...
I've been podcasting Alex Jones's radio show lately, i'm really becoming a big fan of his. Alex Jones is definately up there with Mike Malloy, Jim Marrs and David Icke on people i have a huge crush on at this point. (Not like a physical attraction! God, Mike Malloy is an old man with gray hair and Jim Marrs looks like Santa on drugs) But something my brother told me that just adds to my admoration of Alex Jones is that he was good friends with Bill Hicks. And when you listen to Alex you can tell him and Bill Hicks were friends.
Mike Malloy was on his radio show, that's how i started listening to his show. I've always known about Alex, he is a regular guest on Coast To Coast, in fact him and Jim Marrs were apart of The Illuminati round table discussion on Coast To Coast back in June.
He was also apart of the 9/11 round table discussion on Coast To Coast last year. He pissed off a lot of people on that panel, it was great!
Alex predicted 9/11 on July 25, 2001, 2 months before it happened. He knew it was gonna happen, he said they'd attack the world trade center and blame it on Osama Bin Laden. Alex isn't a psychic or anything he just knew from paying attention to the news that's all. That's why its so important to pay attention. Ironiclly the same day i listened to his show for the first time when Mike Malloy was on, he made his second prediction. He's taking as seriously as he did when he predicted 9/11. He says they gonna do another government staged terror attack sometime between now and October.
I dunno, it'll be a pretty interesting 3 months to watch.

New evidence in JFK assassination!

. . . if you put the murdered President of the United States on one side of a scale and that wretched waif Oswald on the other side, it doesn't balance. You want to add something weightier to Oswald. It would invest the President's death with meaning, endowing him with martyrdom. He would have died for something. . . . A conspiracy would, of course, do the job nicely. — William Manchester.

wow, great news for all who follow the JFK assassination. A new key piece of evidence came out yesterday that could throw out the bullshit lone gunman theory. Here's a link to the article.
Kind of strange that this is came out the same day Jim Marrs, the author of "Crossfire The Men Who Killed Kennedy" which the movie JFK was based on, was on Alex Jone's radio show promoting his new book "Terror Conpiracy", which i have patiently been waiting for in the mail :)

"It basically shatters what some people call the best physical evidence around," said chemist Pat Grant, director of the lab's Forensic Science Center.

Grant and Livermore Lab metallurgist Erik Randich found that the chemical "fingerprints" used to identify which bullets the fragments came from are actually more like run-of-the-mill tire tracks than one-of-a-kind fingerprints.

"I've spoken with people on both sides of the conspiracy divide and there's no question but that (Randich and Grant's) work is going to be very difficult, if not outright impossible, to refute," said Gary Aguilar, a San Francisco ophthalmologist and single-bullet skeptic who has studied the Kennedy assassination for more than a decade. "It looks impregnable."
