Welcome

Being unemployed gives you time to think. It is a rare opportunity to reflect on who you are, and who you plan to become. Financial difficulty is a life defining experience when faced with homelessness. I have a belief that everything happens for a reason. Having a chance to live outside of and observe a system we strive to be a part of, which will eventually destroy us gives life a new perspective. At times deep in thought I remind myself that the test of success is graded in your ability to face failure. As a young man aspiring to be a rapper I often wrote of my fear of failure, and my desire to succeed. It wasn't until age 30 on a windy October day that I embraced the idea; stagnation is like dying, all successes in life, love, and finance involve risk and accountability for your actions. The fear of failure is the same as the fear of success.

War for the Wrong Reasons



The Federal Reserve is a corporation the same as Standards and Poor’s who operate within the United States of America. I am amazed that a private company has been allowed to gain and maintain so much control over the lives of the citizens our government was created to protect. We have invaded countless countries and stolen innumerable amounts of wealth under the guise of democracy and freedom for the oppressed.

Standard and Poor’s was wrong about the housing market in the 90’s they were wrong about a recession coming to an end in late 2007, they are wrong about lowering the credit rating of the US right now. We are the greatest lender of aid, the largest consumer, and the greatest country in the world (despite our inherent flaws). What no one seems to grasp is downing the credit score of America severely impacts the entire world.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->We cannot buy/ import as much as we could because interest rates will increase
<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->If the interest rates of the government must increase because of poor credit so must all rates that fall under its umbrella. Housing, commercial, private
<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->It also means if we are the highest lender of aid and consumer of exports all other markets are devalued by default
<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Commerce mimics markets, if the markets are down, spending and consumption will decrease. Businesses will struggle, inflation will skyrocket to maintain profit margins, people will lose jobs (has no one considered payroll is the single greatest controllable expense of any company)

There are sections of Detroit that look like Tripoli and even more that look like bombed out corners of Islamabad. When will there ever be a time that we as a people demand we defend our borders, from ourselves. Defend us from these banks, which shackle us with cash, slave us for our labor, and lynch us with the very rights that should ensure our God given freedoms. We are sharecroppers trying to farm progress with ancient tools overly dull and rusting away. The touch of hope comes from blistered hands, dripping blood and sweat trying to till a mountain side. Life has become hard as stone. Granite only has use as tombs for our self worth. What will we leave our children?

Disease and famine are the offspring of foreign aid. There are so many similarities behind the eyes of a Somali child and a student of Detroit Public Schools. America has become the world’s immune deficiency. We cannot afford the cure, we are wasting away our veins are collapsing like infrastructures. I wonder what you dream of when you are on your death bed? You probably pray for your children, in Detroit prayer stopped working long ago.

We must do something, before it is too late. You kill cancer by cutting it off, we can rebuild an economy through bartering; feed the hungry by urban farming, and live without killing everything around us. If we can go to war with foreign countries, we can most certainly go to war with those who do not carry our best interests in their hearts. Kill your enemies before they destroy everything you love, like yourself.

Light of the World pt 1

We see light without understanding as a people grasping the outcome without knowledge of its creation or function. We have truly become children of the machine. We have become children of the light, never understanding or appreciating the darkness from which the light springs forth. Light is celebrated as the birth of life. The darkness which creates light is lost somewhere between the origin of man and his dreams what arrogant beings we have become.
Secret sects and clandestine factions have risen to prominence in the 21st century. Those who seek knowledge and power are cast as demonic heretics set to destroy the world. Perhaps they are. They teach to listen without question, follow the masses, live up to expectation. All the while before our very eyes defying their own rules, we look to them as gods defying our own logic.
Logic may be the answer to our plight, it is learned behavior. It is the animal in man that allows him to survive. Instinct and reflex are the greatest tools of humanity; intuition is a gift from God. Yet we learn to ignore them, we are taught to scorn them, to believe in a God but not in the gifts he has bestowed upon us. Ungrateful.
Then there are the children of the light. Illuminati, Catholic, government, banking, business, entertainment we curse them, like God. But we follow them, like many of us would God; we see their darkness and seek only to destroy it with our own light. We are good, for when there is evil there must be good.



There will always be a duality, light and dark, good and evil, hot and cold. My brother often spoke of duality and is importance. It was not until now that I realized duality may exist in all things like the Chinese belief in Yin and Yang, however there is no guarantee balance and duality with have the same meaning as the Yin and Yang principal implies. For in this world there is no duality in perfect balance, merely many forces working in unison for their individual goals. This principal is more akin to life.
It is for that reason I hold no fear or reverence for the Illuminati or religion. They are deeply rooted within each other, pursuing that which is only a small part of the universe. When you look to the night sky and pray to God do you focus on light, do you stare into the sun, and is there not blackness when you close your eyes?
You grasp light because it is tangible for your mind even if you cannot hold it. But power and life stem from the darkness from the void. We have learned to pursue by-products of greatness rather than go to the source. God lay in a void, in darkness. Long before the heavens and earth, before the faces of the oceans, days before he created light we are living a fundamental folly.
Perhaps it is this error that allows those who believe they have or are in power to make such mistakes and create misunderstandings. Perhaps the masses have become victims to the ignorance of the few. Perhaps we are voids and we have lost the ability to cast light from our souls. Do you fear walking your own path, perhaps you cannot see your own light until you stand in a shadow?
