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

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.
