It used to be in the 60's that young people were exposing the Military Industrial scam - the Vietnam "War".  To the point that young people through their effort, brought that war to an end way before the weapons dealers wanted it to end.  Now young people, brainwashed by the media, are out protesting guns when they should be working against the real villains in the U.S. Public School system - psychiatric drugs.  Once those are under control and largely eliminated - the violence will lessen dramatically.  This will NOT occur with more restrictions on guns.  But the pharmaceutical companies want no interference in their profits, no matter how many students are killed because of the drugs they peddle. THAT is what students should be up in arms about and protesting, instead of working against themselves!

Hi.  I am NOT talking about the fictional characters in the Men in Black movies, I am talking about real individuals who it has been documented have visited a variety of individuals since the 40's in this country, when any individuals get close to exposing the truth about off world aliens and UFO's.  I just watched a History Channel documentary where individuals who were visited by men dressed in black suits threatened them after they either wrote a book about aliens and UFO's or were speaking in the media about UFO's they had seen personally.  In a few cases the individuals who were met by theses men in black stopped speaking publicly about what they had seen.  In three cases, suspicious deaths of UFO researchers were discussed as well. There have been at least two photographs of supposed Men in Black and I encourage you to watch the videos and decide for yourself.  Also reading any or all of the following books by authors researching the Men in Black is advised."Case Book - Men in Black" by Joe Keith or Key, who died mysteriously; "The Case for the UFO's", by Mars K. Jessup, who was threatened and then also died mysteriously; "Flying Saucers - Serious Business" by Frank Edwards, who also died mysteriously.  Dave Rosenfeld had information on his computer given to him by a military person at an army base and then was visited by two men dressed in black clothing in an unmarked car.  One man came into his house and stayed until he witnessed the removal from his computer, of the information placed there by Rosenfeld. Myth, fiction, lies, truth?  I will do more postings on this subject after I read the aforementioned books myself. And if I get any visits by The Men in Black, I will write about it right here and anywhere else I choose to.  I respect the right for our government to withhold some secrets - but NOT to intimidate American citizens, including me!  Maybe that will keep them away - I hear they don't like publicity!

I think it is way past the time when we should be rational regarding guns of course...but more importantly, we should be VERY investigative into the ramifications of psychiatric drugs in our school children and our citizens in general. I do not believe that enough psychiatrists know the real reason for mental problems and mental aberrations, though I believe that the source for these maladies has been found. I believe in the findings in the best selling mental health book of all time, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, which was written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1950. I have personally experienced and seen the betterment in myself and individuals who have applied the material in this book to their lives. Unfortunately with a pharmaceutical industry making billions off of psychiatric medications, naturally the work-ability found in Dianetics for spotlighting the real cause of mental aberrations and mental problems and then Mr. Hubbard writing this book in a handbook form - making it possible for ANYONE to do this type of counseling on a family member or friend - - totally safely, has caused certain ill intentioned individuals within the pharmaceutical companies and psychiatry to see Dianetics as a threat to their profit, power and influence. And so they covertly support attacks against Mr. Hubbard and Dianetics. I believe the strongest method for evaluating anything one may be interested in or something one knows nothing about - - is evaluating it for oneself. The only reason we believe in whatever we believe in...the reason we purchase a same product over and over, do the same activities again for health or weight loss etc., is that any of these have proven to be workable to self. I truly care about people and their well being. I invite you to evaluate Dianetics for yourself and to use it to better yourself...to make yourself MORE able, intelligent and happy..but that only comes from YOUR investigation into it, to see if it makes sense to YOU! THAT is really the only test of the worth or work-ability of anything. I wish you success!

Though the two issues in the subject of this blog may seem non-related, actually they are more closely related than one might realize. First a new "price tag" came out regarding our participation in the Afghan war which has been set by the Pentagon at 45 BILLION dollars. And with no end in sight, taxpayers may have to keep on footing that bill for many years to come. This undeclared war has already been going on for 17 years so far.  Thankfully the price has gone down, as a few years ago when more U.S. troops were on the ground, it was costing $100 billion a year. But with this level of money being spent, there is simply NO inducement to end it anytime quickly, as munition dealers and anyone else earning profit form that war simply want it to continue for the profit that can be made from its continuance and the profit powerful entities and their lobbyists are reaping from its continuance.  We have a dire situation that monies which could be used to build up, restore and improve this country and this world are being wasted by those simply seeking a profit from continual wars somewhere in the world. Now how does this tie-in with the lack of initiative by students in our schools?  Simply this - while legislators who should be renamed "Public Servants" to better remind them who they work for are screaming for more gun laws because of the shootings at our schools, going unnoticed is the ever present psychiatric drugging of many of our students. By the way every child shooter had one form or another of these psych drugs in their systems which provides profit for the pharmaceutical companies, but with deadly consequences for those killed by student shooters. However there is another costly, deadly and covert problem as well.  During the Vietnam War with most students NOT on psych medication, young people, then bright enough to see a scam when it was presented to them, started to protest the War in Vietnam to the point that they finally convinced most Americans that we needed to get out of that country.  Which happened - because of the protests by young people.  That war was ended way before the munitions dealers wanted it ended - they lost profit with it ending when it did. Now they have a war going on a world away - with a basic news blackout and psych drugged up student population and mis-directed ( "global warming" is the greatest threat to America and this world) students and populations so the military-Industrial Complex can keep the Afghan War going for 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 years with all the profit safely in tact from that war without those pesky young people protesting it because the kids are on psych drugs, or pot or the x-rated material that is too widely available on the Web...all misdirection so...you guessed it...so that the power brokers making money off wars can keep reaping their profits with NO interruption in sight. Solution:  We MUST invest in our young people - not drug them. POT is not good for healthy individuals.  And we MUST gain control of the Military Industrial Complex or we are doomed to more and more of our assets being wasted on...endless wars!

So to continue, there is simply too much money in politics and it cost too much to run for and have any realistic change of getting elected - especially when running for a Congressional, Senatorial or Presidential position.  The only way to get back to achieving a system where Public Servants ( my suggested new name for politicians), are working for our interests, is to make us the ones that provide them the money to run for office and to dramatically, drastically LOWER the amount which can be spent on any election, by tying that in with what the population of any given State could conceivably raise for the candidate they want to represent them.  This coupled with a limit on how much any given person, group, organization or business can donate to any candidate would achieve this - for the good of the country and the owners of this country - American citizens.  UNTIL we institute some version of what I have stated here - special interests will continue to control our Public Servants and they will NOT be working for us!

So to continue the line of thought regarding our elected officials, especially those that work in Washington as either a member of Congress or the Senate, they basically, most fundamentally...are supposed to be working for us!  In actual fact - we in essence are their bosses.  However the sad reality for some time and certainly today, is that, although they should get respect for the office they hold, Congress members and Senators, it seems specifically, seem to think that they are above the "common masses".  They seem to give off an "air", that they know better than American citizens do, regarding what's needed to both fix this country through a return to decency, manners, doing the right thing, responsibility and safe and productive communities, cities, States and this country as a whole. I am afraid that too many of them have been for too long working for others "masters".  This is easy to determine, given the fantastically high amounts of money it takes to run for and have any real hope of winning a Congressional or Senate seat in Washington. So we have two main  problems currently with our elected officials in Washington, that need to be fixed just as soon as we can...IF...we care about the kind of country we will live in and the kind of country our children and their children and their children and their children will live in.  Before I get back to this main point, perhaps you feel that as yet unborn generations twice or three times in the future, might not be your responsibility.  I leave that to you and the level of responsibility YOU feel is right to take.  But when one believes in and is 100% sure that reincarnation ( living in human form again and again) is a reality, as I and many millions of individuals around the world do, then one begins to take a larger degree of responsibility, as it just might be YOU coming back to this world after your current life ends and then YOU will be susceptible to, hampered by, effected by, whatever kind of world you are born into, in the future. Food for thought and discussion and the reason why I give a damn about what is going on here because I do not want to be born into a decayed, radiation polluted, police state, polluted, crime ridden society in ANY future life I have. Now back to the two main problems we have with our elected officials...right now...today...that must be addressed! The first is finding someway to remind them that they work for us...every time we address them....every time we send them a letter, call them...send them a fax, an e-mail, a text...any way and any time we communicate with them. My proposal is for a name change!  Our elected officials should be called by what they are supposed to be doing. (Which I think too many of them have forgotten or turned away from). Their new name should be changed from politician to...Public Servant.  I mean with a whoosh of a magic wand it is obvious that the terms "Senator" and "Congress member" and even "politician" are not going to disappear overnight. But did you know that the Kleenex company was told to start protecting their copyright of their name "Kleenex" which was starting to be a word used for every facial product item, no matter what company was making them.  So they had to add, to the name of their facial product - "Kleenex BRAND" facial tissues. So names in society on a Nationwide basis CAN change when the right motivation is applied.  And there is a rather humorous and VERY telling effect in starting to call elected officials ( at any level), politely, by this new name: "Public Servants."  Because the ones that recoil when they are called by their new ( proper I might add) name, gives us a glimpse past the "show" and we get to see a bit of what's really going on behind their smiles and words they think we want to hear.  You see the ones that re-coil at being called a "Public Servant", probably, most likely, dare I say "assuredly", are NOT working for those that elected them, us, but other "masters", who are providing the money needed for them to keep being re-elected and for this they will owe favors to the money brokers and not us! So please ALL who read this simply make it rule from here on out that you will address our elected officials properly, whenever you communicate with them in any form, as we owe them the respect they have earned (?), so call them by their new and proper name - "Public Servants".  And then be sure to watch their facial expressions or pay attention to their verbal response or written response when communicating in a letter or electronically. As this will tell you who they really are working for, depending on the response you see, hear or read from them.  This could be fun and it's safe and respectable and proper...after all WE ARE their bosses.  And they have to listen to us and do what we want them to do! Tomorrow: Handling the second problem with our elected officials...I mean Public Servants: Too much money in politics and too much money controlling our Public Servants. Do something good everyday...

After some personal changes, realizations and betterment through some work on myself through a number of methods, I found myself feeling pretty good.  Having that as a foundation, I desired to reach out beyond my own needs and desires for my self and family, to an even stronger desire to be among those helping to improve this world and those that live in it.  Now before I proceed further an important statement must be made: I do not think that I am any better than any other inhabitant of this world FOR caring to be part of those helping to improve it.  It is simply my personal goal to try and leave this world in somewhat better shape than when I arrived in this life in 1952. At first, dealing with this strong desire to help, I thought I might be interested in going into politics.  Luckily, before taking any steps down that path very far at all, I realized that given the unethical agreements unfortunately in control of most of our Senators and Congress members and in Washington, I with a strong set of values from my up-bringing by a Father who had been a Boy Scout leader for over 50 years and a Mother with equally "old-school" values - I would be like a "drop of chocolate syrup in an ocean of milk" and the values I would bring to Washington, if I even ever got the chance to be a Senator or Congress member, would quickly be "homogenized" and my efforts to help would, well...disappear. That scenario, all may not agree with, but that is the reality I felt and feel is truth. But then what to do with this still present desire to help?  I came to the realization that writing a book would be the path which might allow me to help a large number of people and to play a role in correcting the improper course this world is heading in, on a number of fronts and in reference to a number of issues, we as a society are dealing with currently.  And I would be totally free to write about what I feel ARE the most dangerous and destructive problems that need to be addressed immediately.  In writing a book, I would also be free of the pressure of any vested interests, as too many of our elected officials are currently under and monitored by and controlled by. So that is what I did in writing my first book titled: Plan for America and the World.  And in it I detail what I believe to be one of the most destructive elements to the Freedoms and Liberties we all cherish in this country.  That is the amount of money which swirls around and controls, for the most part, who gets to the position where we can vote for these "chosen" individuals and then afterwards, the same huge amounts of money control and influence those that got elected.  And this situation, right here in Las Vegas.  The amount of campaign funding which will be needed for anyone who would like to replace Nevada Governor Sandoval, will be in the millions. And with that "price tag" , ONLY those candidates who can raise that sort of money, make deals with the special interests they will have to make in order to get that amount of cash and promises to who knows who else...those will be the candidates that we will have to pick from.  Basically, for the most part...controlled "zombies" that are NOT working for our interests...BECAUSE...the amount to run and win offices at the higher levels is grossly...obscenely...bloated, only as a means to serve vested interests and special interests groups - and mostly NOT in alignment with what we the public need and not, most probably, what our society needs to fix the array of problems our communities are facing. In my book, I address both the need for a name change for our elected officials, as a way to remind them EVERY TIME WE ADDRESS THEM, that they are supposed to be working for us!  And a way to address the problem of huge amounts of money in politics today.  I will detail this tomorrow in my next blog...

I will be speaking about my book and reading from it today at the Pen and Palette monthly event at the Corner Gallery, 107 E. Charleston Blvd. #220, Las Vegas.  The entire event runs from 2:30 to 4:30.  All the authors ( 6 including me) will read an excerpt from their books and then will answer questions and sign and sell books. Call 702-501-9219 for more information regarding this event. I will be reading from the chapter titled, "Renaming Our Politicians." I will be forwarding the idea that our politicians do not currently work for us and that needs to change in order to better the country.  What should they be renamed?  Read the chapter in my book or come to this event to find out!  I will also be covering that the high cost of running for public office, with the huge sums of money available to them, which the public does not have, virtually guarantees that special interests will continue to "own" our elected officials, barring them from really doing for the public, as they should be!

I believe strongly, as many others do, that there is a lot of corruption on both sides of the isles in Washington, specifically in the Senate and Congress.  I also see the Democratic party as a "wounded animal": very dangerous.  I believe this because they have lost the White House; lost the Senate and Congress and are losing Governor-ships all over the country.  I think this is occurring because the general public is fed-up with the self-serving nature that has become all too common with our elected officials (our Public Servants - my new name for ALL politicians), and the public wants REAL CHANGE - NOW!  The reason for the specific concern about the Democratic party and what they may try and do, what with it being as I assert a "wounded animal", is that I believe the party and their members and operatives may do close to anything to make the Republicans look bad.  The last thing they want is to experience the Republican plans and efforts looking good to Americans and actually improving Americans wages, communities and the state of Americans in general.  If this occurs, though it would be good for the bulk of Americans, it might spell continued doom for the Democratic party.  Under this kind of pressure, the Democratic leadership and Democratic Public Servants might take all sorts of drastic actions and spew all sorts of falsehoods, simply to try and make the Republicans look bad, to salvage their party in the eyes of the general public.  However if they follow this course of action, it may be the worst plan they could ever come up with.  Because if they position themselves against real beneficial change implemented by the Republicans, only for the sake of re-gaining seats in the Senate, Congress and perhaps the White House, forgoing their proper role of working for the American people, those Americans seeing and realizing this, may turn further against them.
