blogging – Becoming American

This is war

It is clear that the media cannot be trusted. This includes the mainstream media channels such as CNN, but also alternative channels such as the Blaze. They have shown their colors, and they have no interest in America as we know it.

You have the most corrupt candidate to ever seek the presidency, and all the media does is trash Trump. Now they are even fabricating groping stories to try and catch up to Bill and Hillary’s long list of affairs, rapes and cover-ups.

The hypocrisy is palpable.

The media is in full on attack mode as they trash Trump for any hint of lewd remarks, while giving a pass to other candidates past and present.

There is a video of Obama flashing an erection.

George Bush flipping off a camera.

John McCain cussing out a reporter.

And there are multiple accounts of Hillary cussing out law enforcement and secret service members.

The media is doing everything in its power to destroy trump. They are using anything and everything they can to trash him, while protecting Hillary from a bursting dam of lies and corruption.

Make no mistake about it, this is now war. We have a war going on right now to elect either a law and order president who will shake up the establishment and restore prosperity to this nation. And on the other side we have a corrupt to the core establishment candidate who will ensure this nation’s demise. In her own words she wants open borders.

Hillary Clinton is completely owned by the elites. She is totally controlled be special interests. She does not follow nor respect the law.

There is a war going on this election period. it is between the established globalists and free thinking Americans.

I find it sad and ironic that the UN human rights chief would weigh in on this election. His name is Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein and he is from Jordan, a nation not exactly known for Human rights. Which shows the ineptitude of the UN itself that it would have a human rights chief from a country which struggles with it. This election is for Americans to decide, not a hypocritical globalist.

If it wasn’t for the internet itself, the media might be able to paint Trump into a corner, but with wiki-leaks releasing Hillary’s emails daily, and videos and evidence surfacing daily on the Clintons many scandals, a balance has at least been struck.

On one side you have the corrupt media holding Hillary up. On the other you have regular Americans exposing her for what she truly is. A fraud.

The closer you get to defeating a beast, the more viscous it gets. Expect Hillary and her media to get more and more viscous in their attacks on Trump, with more and more desperate and obscure ‘evidence’ of him being some sort of womanizer or sexist. The bitter irony being that she is married to one of the most famous womanizers on the planet, and indeed that she allowed and enabled it all to happen.

This war will make careers and end careers in media. It will make and end careers in politics. It will mark the rebirth and continuation of western civilization, or mark the end of it as it potentially slips into anarchy and war.

This war is one for the ages. It is an intellectual war. It is between free thinkers and free loaders. It is between the establishment and those who believe in liberty and the rule of law.

Will you believe the lies about Trump or the truths about Hillary?

This election is for you to decide. Choose wisely.

Thoughts on self empowerment and blogging

There are times in your life when you become completely swamped. Be it with work, family, projects, or whatever else you fill your life with. Through it all, its important to stay happy.

I started this blog to express my points of view of the world, this country, freedom, and what it means to be an American. I have gone through spans of time where I have updated this site daily, and periods where I haven’t written for months.

It takes time to write out a blog, it takes longer to re-read it and make sure that not only are there no spelling mistakes, but that the darn thing actually makes sense. It’s hard to make it completely unflawed, especially in dealing with opinions on a wide variety of subjects.

This year peaked for me during spring and into early summer. I was working 50 – 60 hours during the weekdays at my job, and supporting my wife for 12 – 24 hours a weekend with her company. In the middle of all that I was trying to keep up with going to the gym four times a week, and we had multiple out of state family functions interwoven between all that too. During this time I was also questioning libertarianism, and the way the world is changing. I didn’t have time to write, and even if I did, I doubt it would have been anything worth reading.

What is important, most important in your life, is you. You front and center. You must put your happiness above all else. In the event of a plane malfunction, you’re supposed to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others. This is true. If you can’t help yourself, you will be useless to others.

Since I couldn’t find the time for this blog, I felt it was useless to try writing anything, since it would seriously lack substance.

Since the 4th July holidays, things have calmed down considerably for me. Work has stabilized, and my wife is able to more effectively run her business without as much need for my assist.

What this all comes back to is; do I really feel like writing each day? Do I really feel like writing out my thoughts and opinions for the world to see? Is it really worth my time?

Another problem with writing is critics. Everyone’s a critic. I found myself trying to defend my points of view a lot, and this distracted me from other things I needed to get done. But, after thinking about it for some time, why should I care what others think? If I’ve done my research, if I’ve laid out thoughts and ideas for others to think about, should I really care about their opinions? Perhaps. If it’s a nice opinion, or a thoughtful critique, sure. If it’s simply a nasty response, it should be ignored.

The problem with being passionate about what you write, is that you tend to get defensive over your work, because any negative feedback is judged as a personal attack. It’s important to understand that there are probably more people out there who disagree with you, than agree with you.

It’s important to simply lay out your argument, and let the comments be whatever they will be. Critiques are healthy because it helps sharpen your view point, but negativity should be ignored.

When dealing with politics in particular, its important to stay positive. It’s important to look for the good in people, and to point out the innovations in the world, and not the multitudes of faults and despair.

If you’re lucky enough to live in a western nation, particularly the United States of America, be thankful. Enjoy your freedoms, your internet, your creature comforts. Spend time with your husband or wife, watch a TV show, relax, enjoy the fruits of your labor. Sites like this are designed to spark thoughts and revelations, to help maintain and grow the freedoms that we enjoy. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt, and time should be made to laugh and be joyful in the world.

Empower yourself to do better, to defend freedom, but to enjoy life along the way. Liberty starts at the individual level, and humor saves us when the world feels dark all around us. To be able to laugh away danger will make all the evil in the world shake in its boots. Get out there, be strong, and enjoy life!

This just in from Ben Swann WXIX:

MAJOR UPDATE: I told you last night about U.S. Marine Brandon Raub who was being held against his will in a mental hospital in Virigina… without having been served with an arrest warrant or charged with any crime. Today, a U.S. District judge agreed with the points we made last night, that Brandon’s constitutional rights had been violated. Today, Brandon Raub has been released.

“In court Thursday, the judge said that the petition was blank and didn’t list a single allegation against him. The judge said Raub suffered a “deprivation of his liberty” by being held without a clear claim.”- WWBT TV

There’s no news like bad news

In the movie Tomorrow Never Dies, Elliot Carver says that ‘there’s no news like bad news’

In the movie Carver is a billionaire international media mogul of the German-based mass media company, the Carver Media Group. He frequently uses his influence to gain an advantage for his firm or wreak havoc on opponents. Moreover, CMG doesn’t merely report the news – it creates it; CMGN is the first to report on scandals and disasters because it causes them to happen.

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) is the eighteenth spy film in the James Bond series. It follows Bond as he tries to stop a media mogul from engineering world events and starting World War III.

During the film: Media baron Elliot Carver, head of the Carver Media Group Network (CMGN), begins his plans to use the encoder to provoke war between China and the United Kingdom, which would replace the Chinese government with one more supportive to Carver’s plans of exclusive broadcast rights.

Think about the actions going on in the media right now, and how bias is used to shape our current world events. From the invasion of Iraq, to the current presidential nominations in the republican party. Also consider where we are today from the late 90’s, how many movies depict corruption today?

To illustrate how politicians and media groups get you to go along with their agendas, watch this video:

Think about a major event, I remember how many newspapers were sold on the day Princess Diana died, the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the beginning of the Iraq war. Think about how much money the news channels make in advertising during crises such as these, with more people tuning in to find out about the ensuing carnage.

Just take a look at an article from the BBC this past weekend http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16564789 Although it is tragic that there was loss of life aboard this ship, many lives were saved, and yet all the major news channels create talking points and debates on ‘who is to blame’. I highly doubt it was much more than an accident. What about all the other issues in the world right now? The US economy is sinking, Europe is in meltdown, there are revolutions all over the middle east. Which issue do you care about right now?

I read sites such as What Really Happened because they cover stories that corporate media covers up. I do not solely believe any one new source, but I do take snippets of information, and figure out the truth for myself.

The bias and manipulation in the media is so fervent, that I cannot watch them anymore.

The media has their own agendas, and are not interested in the will of the people, and neither what is good for them. Only the special interests and sponsors that come from the top. The corporate special interest media, is terrified of Ron Paul, because he speaks the truth, and they know he will cut out the special interests and war profiteering, and they will say anything to discredit him, no matter how absurd and untrue.

The only way these media groups, sponsored by corrupt politicians and special interested corporations which have ceased to produce in the name of a quality product and service, and earned profit, but which seek to make a quick buck by some disastrous piece of legislation; is if we continue to watch them. Like I said I’ve given up on them.

Unless we allow the current ruling elite to completely change this country into a police state, the blogging community, now including myself, will take over as the ‘mainstream media’. There are many more articles out there in the internet, that are fair, balanced, and objective, than the bias of the corporate news industry.

People are once again beginning to be skeptical of the world around them, and concerning themselves with their own individual liberty again.

What would you prefer? Shocking stories on the news channel, or the peace of sitting at your computer reading objective articles online. I’m guessing by reading this, you’re choosing the latter. And that is where online blogging communities gain their strength.

Freedom is only lost, and evil only triumphs when good men do nothing.

There’s no news like bad news, but good news will find a way.
