20080509-All Lies

Fri., 9-May-2008

Oh, I have a tooth ache! I can’t talk to you now. Oh, I’ll call you back later. I have a meeting to attend. Oh, everything is going good. I know you’ll believe me after eight years. Oh, it’s is going to happen. Your ‘finders’ won’t tell another soul. Oh, let’s make this year good and that was back in March 2008!

You demon-seeds bastards, deceivers, liars, traitors, scumbags — need to show us interested parties the money! I’m sick and tired of playing your games! I know about that mortgage meltdown stuff ties in nicely with the recent ploy by TPTB to get more ‘CASH’ to install domestic oil here in the United States. Now China is drilling off the coast of Florida.

The ‘mortgage bill’ to help out the consumer won’t work because of your ongoing practice of USURY! Your debt to me is coming to full circle by those same hard working people you keep fooling via your presidential candidates, the voice pieces of more lies beyond imagination. Noone could possible pay off what you have been reaping from the ignorant, who continue to pay high gas prices and illegal taxes.

Instead of feeding starving people with corn y’all are coming up with ethanol to fuel the economy. There are technology to convert water and vegetable oil that could be easily installed by a mechanic into the existed petroleum-dependent vehicles. Instead of healing the sick with 100% government paid healthcare y’all are forcing the poor to pay for something monthly that may or may not be used until later on in life or until some freak accident that leads to hospitalization and worse, disability.

Instead of telling us the truth y’all are using the media to program the minds of the public into believing we are at war with some outside force with nuclear arms. You know what? I’m sick and tired of hearing those stories about terrors. The terrors are the same people ‘in the know’ — TPTB.

They are the ones that pull the strings of this world. They are the ones that are now installing socialism and martial laws to control our awakenings. They are the ones that will continue to suffer more because we are many, outnumbering them not by fleshy bodies but by the fighting spirit.

All lies! Liars! Liars! Liars! You’ll pay. I’ve got my secrets. And some entities ‘out there’ have already been informed. Or rather ‘they’ already know what will happen. Ciao!

20080505-Anything New?

Mon., 5-May-2008

Summary: NO! NO! NO! There is nothing new! Otherwise, I’d be on a long vacation by now visiting ‘friends’ and religious sites, away from my computer of my parent’s home and out of the lives of ungrateful relatives. All I have are countless hours of sleep time, which I take to full advantage while boosting areas and people with my own energies, which I have yet to replenish based on some articles I’ve read from long, long ago.

Open-forums: I’ve been participating with this dis-info site debunking chemtrails and the flat earth theory from above and below. I get a kick out of messing around with the threads over there and already received a few U2U’s from some faceless forum members. Some represent experts from meteorology to pilots. Most are skeptical and however intelligent they appear, my posting entries don’t mean much when certain posters stick to their guns about their world views.

Business: There is nothing new except more delays, hold-up and snags by TPTB. These are business folks who work with their fellow brothers. They know how to cover each other and in order not to loose their own lives continue doing their jobs, even though their deeds appear ’good’. For almost eight years, I have a few legal terms that I’ve avoided mentioning for good reasons. I am still observing how these ‘nasty’ people have progressed beyond their betrayals, deceits and lies.

Politics: My rant as usual is primarily that of people behind the scenes and those people who utilize the ASL (American Sign Language) hand gestures of ‘L-O-V-E’, which looks strikingly similar to the gesture of long horns. In one of the forum thread, a photo shows Hillary Clinton doing this ‘Satanic’ hand gestures. In another photo Obama Barack used the middle-finger. I’d do the same when pissed off. As for John McCain, he is still a fossil. And although I mentioned my vote going in that general direction, I changed my mind.

Twosome: The twosome (as y’all already know) is trying to be ‘nice’ to my parental units and me. I am still observing how futile their efforts are in spite of previous bickering that I will never forget. Forgiveness is nonsense, too. I have no friends other than being my own friend. Even the fat bastard claims I’m his ‘best friends’. The nit-wit claims to be lucky to have a best friend. The old-soul has friends to call his own. I am still not impressed but tolerating their relationship a bit longer.

Parties: I’ve been attending parties from our local church. I already mentioned the Seder dinner. The other two also required me dressing up and wearing high heels, too! The second party was a bunch of Filipinos dancing. The third party from yesterday was a retirement party in Santa Clara, CA. The priest served 22 years out of 50 years in our local church. The new replacement (so I’ve heard) is a 40-year old Filipino. He is around my age. I am thinking about a sad movie: ’The Thorn Birds’.

Weather: The weather has been mostly crispy blue skies. As mentioned in some of the forum threads, there were times of brown mucky haze above the hills in the distance. The temperature has been freezing cold at night and sometimes the centralized heater would turn on. Today was very pleasant with a slightly breeze.

Animals: A few small birds would take a shower in the bird bath. I’d hear the mocking bird sing in the morning and see one jump and down on top of the antenna of the next door neighbor. A couple of robins would come by near the two garbage cans at our backyard. I’ve left a few crumbs of seeds and bread leftover from the parakeet food but those have been left untouched in the gutter.

Family: My parental units are keeping busy with their doctor’s appointments and daily activities. ‘Maw’ has been sewing with leftover material from years ago. There were lots of alterations to old clothes, too. She doesn’t use patterns but calculates the yards for the materials she needs to get her projects done. Gabardine is a good material for pantsuits, by the way.

Employment: To hell with y’all! I’m not lifting my fingers or working my butt off until TPTB shows me justice — they owe me big time. Please do the research as I’ve left my stinky, smelly trail mixes somewhere all over this here weblog of mine. There are too many weird things happening. I will continue observing and accessing the situations as they unfold.

Synchronicity: These continue everyday — from double digit code of time to some hidden messages off the ticker running across the bottom of some cable news. Recently, I see codes from Microsoft (Steve Ballmer) withdraws offer of $33 per share from Yahoo! looking for $37 per share as well as two more based on my nickname, ‘Flynn‘, on previous cable news.

Agents: By the way, one black sedan with very dark, tinted glass waited on my long stretched road after I phoned in my complaint about the poor garbage service of containers left on its side instead of upright, haphazardly on the street. I ‘fingered my gun’ at that undercover tool and ‘mooned’ that lousy loser, too. This is my territory! Its says so based on the name of this road.

20080407-Go Figure

Mon., 7-Apr-2008

On Saturday while watching CNN news, I saw Hillary Clinton give here speech at Hillsboro, Oregon. She mentioned something about votes in Michigan and Florida and the disenfranchised voters of 2.3 million, which is about right for me and a little bit more of which seemed to have gone nowhere. Like this and so many others of her speeches, so she does know my stuff in some way regarding transparency oversees.

We now know that the Clintons earned $120 million in eight years, paid taxes and donated to their OWN charity (of which they are not obliged to use more than 5%) after the release of tax documents by Hillary on April 5, 2008 to the public for scrutiny. But how much of it show who contributed to their millions is still not disclosed and I too wonder how many more government officials or higher levels are really hiding from us sheople.

Speaking of levels, I read an article from one of my favorite open discussion forums about how Obama Barack is a 32nd degree Mason. To me, this explains why the media seems to push for more popularity with Obama because (besides him being part white) he will continue the Founding Fathers’ ideals among their fraternal brothers of Freemasons while bringing in their side kick or the female counterpart, Hillary, as Vice President for the Democratic party (if this is the plan of the TPTB).

A few minutes ago again on CNN news I heard that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeezzzaaahhh Rice is talking about being John McCain’s Vice Presidential hopeful for the Republican party. This other, ‘dream team’ seems okay by me; since Condi definitely does have experience in foreign policy. Plus her current form happens to be female and black. Now how cool is that to have someone who works for our current president of the United States, George W. Bush and to become VP for the same party.

20080331-Pikocchio San

Mon., 31-Mar-2008

Hey, ‘Smooches’! Your ‘Paw’ is pissing me off!
Yes! Eight ‘slong’ years like Pinocchio’s swoon!
Shits by ‘Uncle PM’, my hard work - scoff!
Sticking and trolling; you fat, purple prune!
Godless men praying to government trough,
Shots by CIA from a dentist goon.

A ’Harrisham Rhyme’ poem about unfinished business of ‘ten syllables’ with rhyming scheme of ‘ababab’.

Author’s note: This teeny, weenie, short poem is inspired by a photo showing his fat boy in a purple and white checkered shirt and another phone call about his ongoing dental problems around 04:30PM.

20080314-Want Change?

Fri., 14-Mar-2008

You want change?

I’ve changed not by much but have learned how to get my modified heart clipart image from Microsoft positioned where I want it - on the top left hand corner. Earlier I thought a ‘floating left’ html code would to the trick. But after learning the difference between ‘padding’ and ‘margin’, both the ’sitename’ and its description were moved to the ‘right’ side of this ‘background image’.

This is my rave for today beside the fluffy, puffy white clouds the whole day and the warm sun filtering through the wooden blinds in the afternoon upstairs again, all alone while modifying my weblog and pretty much wasting my time wondering if Pete will pull through for everyone. We know we ‘deserve it’ symbolically too. I don’t believe in karma and spit in its face! Below is my rant for those who want change in light of the political theme of the presidential race for the United States

You want change?

Stop buying unnecessary, high-priced junk (like furs made out of dead animals) and shiny blings (like diamonds mined by African children) that only people with good eyesight could appreciate. Y’all will be too old to care, loose your mind, forget your family and friends and will end up in the nursing homes. So y’all might as well donate what you got to those who really need help and not to those ungrateful relatives, for example.

You want change?

Stop gambling your money away in the stock and bonds market. Today, the fifth largest investment bank — Bear Stearns, for example, had to be rescued by the FEDs so we high-brow ‘investors’ won’t lose the liquidity on the cash (which is backed by nothing and is rendered as worthless chattel paper) when time comes for withdrawals en masse to cover monthly expenses and various expensive lifestyles for some people.

You want change?

Stop kidding yourselves about ‘owning’ a home, which really belongs to us lenders! Y’all have to accept reality and admit that a lifetime of mortgage debt is like committing yourselves to prison-like conditions as not only you ‘lock in’ at lower interest rates but your freedom for the life of this largest loan, which you will never ever, ever pay back in a lifetime until you die from work hard sixteen hours of at least five days a week to the lenders.

You want change?

Stop buying gasoline for your smog producing cars and start riding bicycles to rid the fat from your rear-end instead. There is no need to get all worked up and excited over the stupid rebate check of $300.00 from George W. Bush as an incentive to stimulate the economy by spending: In one month that same amount is gone by buying their stupid, high-priced GASOLINE, which in turn goes straight into the pockets of one of George W. Bush’s oil rich friend, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia!

The rebate check, like the voting system for this upcoming general election in November 2008, is yet another tracking mechanism to see who is in the database of the IRS and FBI and which of sheep is willing compliant to file their tax returns by April 15, 2008. This means in order to ‘qualify’ for this rebate check for a measly $300.00, each hard working Americanized citizen must have a Social Security Number (SSN) and at least have worked and earned over $3,000.00 in the tax year of 2007.

You want change?

Okay, for example, there is no technology to make one gender become the other gender perfectly, with female to male harder than the two operations. Y’all have to settle being happy in your current form and deal with life’s situations for now. Not all the medication, therapy, counseling or genetic splicing could possibly remove the gender identification of your soul’s purpose. It’s really a test to see how today’s society treats those persons labeled as ‘sin’ as per a condemning ‘God’, who is supposed to be all loving, mind you but via the old farts outdated writings found in the Bible.

You want change?

Pick a presidential candidate who knows how to deal with the likes of Bush’s regime from the oil countries of ‘Nigeria and Saudi Arabia’ (which are two countries mentioned in one of Hillary’s speech). There is no way Obama could represent change when he is virtually surrounded by the lots of reptilians, who are running the GOP, Congress and Senate, all of who have not really changed all that much while in office. And they never will change because they too need to be part of the payroll by TPTB and pay (or hide their taxes like Hillary) like every Americanized citizens.

You want change?

Stop using that gang or mobster mentality of the big bosses looking out for your backs. Learn how you could better adapt in a fast changing world by crossing training yourselves in computer related jobs or at least get a GED for heaven’s sake! The unions will phase out because, for example, Chrysler cannot afford to pay the wages and retirement benefits of the old timers and have already shut down most of its operation worldwide since Thursday, March 13, 2008 for two weeks. We want hovercrafts, not some oil-dependant machine made out of rubber and steel and by people in the U.S.A.

You want change?

Don’t expect a free ride. Anything that sounds too good to be true has a price. The price is being fooled by the same politicians who were elected to represent the Americanized citizens of the United States. The politicians can always change their agendas due to their ‘secret meetings behind the doors’, like the United States Congress did on Thursday, March 13, 2008 on a spy (wiretapping, anti-terror) bill.

Addendum 11:40PM: Later on tonight around 06:55PM, I answered the main phone and got a wrong number from a guy, who feels like one of those spy agents, which pulled from a parked position off this long stretch of road of ours upon our intersection at his green colored sedan. We were coming home from Eastridge. I wonder if that broken down, dark colored truck behind us noticed this event. The events have been frequent with people getting into their parked vehicles and pulling off HWY 101 or other locations and upon our arrivals.

Anyway, y’all know this is true because anyone could change their minds about what to wear for the day or what to eat for dinner. Further, anyone could change one’s religion just to belong somewhere but get nowhere fast with ten percent going into the pockets of crazed charismatic personalities, like Obama’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the rest (in peace).

This guy is part white from the looks of his pale skin coloration. Rev. Wright has put his white ancestors to shame by saying those things in public and using the name of ‘God’ in vain. He should apologize to his black people of mixed ancestry. I know the blacks don’t like their skin color. Tiger Woods married his Swedish or white woman. This golfer had a choice to marry a black woman instead, duh.

I am disappointed that Obama’s mentor has dealings with Louis Farakhan and Mu’ammar al-Qadhafiof Libya, which is another MUSLIM country. Muslims are by far the most religious for praying many times throughout the day and they should not be considered ‘head hunters’ as they are known for in parts of the once docile islands of the Philippines.

Obama’s shady past is something to be considered — whose biological father has left the boy all alone with his single white mother and whose other important father figure — Rev. Wright — has betrayed his fellow black brother who trying to connect with fellow ‘Christians’, only to find a harsh world ready to hurt this little boy who has grown up into what could be the next president of the United States. I see potential in Obama as a bridge between whites and blacks, despite his alleged connections with the Muslim community [wink].

You want change?

Stop pursuing life’s pleasures with these material ‘goods’ imported and exported among poorer countries in this temporal world of plastic illusions. Nothing is ‘good’ when noone is being paid the fair value like those of us who are already in the government’s databases or whatever nefarious system (like chip implantations by the Beast) happens to be employed by TPTB.

You want change?

Stop thinking that working like an honest, hard working cubicle slave (or wage earner) is not as degrading as getting the faster buck for selling your bodies and minds. One type of service pays less and is safer than the other. But both jobs are not pleasurable: The body becomes useless and the mind is rendered into putty.

You want change?

Leave everything you have behind and follow me. Now that’s change. This sounds familiar from the Bible, eh?

Addendum 12:08AM 03/15/2008: I had to go downstairs in a hurry after this last paragraph to do some exercise with my parental units earlier this evening and prior to dinner. The goal is to loose some pounds and go on a diet, which looks like the word ‘die’ and a crucifix.

20080310-Sorry Dude

Tue., 11-Mar-2008

Obasanjo and Bush

Sorry dude, can’t help you know
Dealing with fat bastards’ cow
Oil rich from Africa drug dealing dope
No food for oil but stealing hope
Lying and cheating for over a year
Seven in total, drafts expired clear
Until the end of the month again
Transparent transactions, the mighty pen

Another short poem in rant about unfinished business by TPTB. Here is one of many news link of happenstance related to petroleum (oil and gas): http://allafrica.com/stories/200703310008.html .

20080308-Voting Fraud

Sat., 8-Mar-2008

Voting in the United States is just another fraud. Our voting system is implemented by TPTB to find out who is an illegal immigrant or not. Those Americanized citizens who are already in this slave system know better - popularity voting doesn’t count. Anyone who has been following the televised programmings of a possible re-voting know that if Hillary’s popularity vote had gotten her delegates for the states of Michigan and Florida as well, Obama would have been out of the picture by now.

But in order to prevent a public outcry or dancing chaos by those tied to the old sentiments brought about by racial tension, Obama is still put as a very close contender to Hillary. And if y’all remember, George W. Bush was not merely installed as president back in the year 2000 by the Supreme Court due to the hanging chads issues. Bush was chosen as the lesser of the two evils with John Kerry as an endorser of his ‘relative’ — Barack Obama. So if Kerry lost then, I’m sure Obama will loose also.

And the face of Ted Kennedy is nothing close to holy or pretty. There is something oddly shaped or malformed about that particular senator’s face. And Kennedy too has endorsed Obama, by the way. And I hardly hear lots of endorsement for Hillary. So maybe Hillary is indeed a ‘monster’ and an ‘evil reptilian whore’ despite the ugliness surrounding Obama and his high level supporters. I do not fully understand what is really going on here but there are stories about a very angry woman not keeping better control over the natural urges of her man.

And speaking of another woman, McCain’s drug addicted wife, Cindy, has had her tail investigated by the FEDS. It has something to do with stealing drugs to alleviate pain. And her eyes are scary - almost as if the pair of iris is invisible due to their light coloration. We will all be damned to have a first lady with that kind of background, not to mention someone who is married to a veteran who is known for his hot temper. Even George W. Bush got a piece of McCain’s mouth back in 2000 and recently this year had a hot dog lunch together (as if everything is swell, fine and dandy, for now).

So vote for whomever you want as your next president. The delegates’ votes don’t count either because there is room for fraud here. One of the reporters from CNN showed the piece of paper where the delegates of Wyoming could mark off their selections. She said more copies were needed from Kinko’s because there were not enough of these little pieces of paper to go around. In another news segment there was another report about how a ‘team captain’ almost ran off with the sign off sheets for the delegates, who would enter their information (with at least a form of identification). If it weren’t for other concerned ‘citizen’ running after this crazed person, fraud would have occurred here too.

I could mention how schmoozing by monetary payoff with the right people could put whomever they want into office. And this is nothing new in the political arena. Instead of voting we should pool our money together and make a bet on who is next president. I think this is similar to guessing on the winning football team where one would put a name inside those little squares in hopes of getting some money out of having fun.

20080308-Scam Controlls

Sat., 8-Mar-2008

Like most scams, the sheeple is caught unawares. The unthinking sheeple are gullible enough to believe almost anything that’s ‘too good to be true’. Take for example, the Christian’s Bible, which is nothing more than a bunch of outmoded stories foretelling of the coming of this alleged ‘Messiah’, who after 2,000 years later not showed up to the faithful.

Scammers don’t give the ‘true believers’ a ‘true date’ but continue to feed them lies of full of eloquence and emptiness of hope, the promise of a fair and balanced justice system where peace reigns supreme all over the world but the deceptions leading them to nowhere — a nothingness that does have some meaning yet undefined.

On Thursday’s morning sermon, Father Perata (an ‘alien’) was talking to the school children about what he had in his right hand - a white envelope folded into a equidistant-sized square containing the magic, the answer to all prayers of not having to study. The children sitting in the three front most rows to his right all raised their hands to guess as to what was the surprise:

THE ANSWER IS NOTHING!

He opened the envelope and showed the children the content was nothing. He mentioned the Easter symbol of a cross and how people will have to continue to WORK hard to find these answers. I knew from all his sermons these religious followers will continue to believe in the nothingness presented by the ‘CatHoleLick’ organization.

Thus, the prayers will go unanswered by a deaf ‘God’. I know my prayers go unanswered because certain fat scammers continue to SHOW ME nothing as proof of these alleged good news from what is basically a defraud in business investments. I am talking about high level scams (like religions) that control the whole world and thereby leaving little or no hint of their nefarious activities.

Anything close to heaven on earth will continue to be among the wolves in sheep clothing. The fodders come in the form of goodness and helpfulness to the few who have been assigned the dirty jobs as poor, homeless and the lame – the unheard voices that noone cares to listen. The point is to treat each other with respect here and now and to the best possible way by avoiding confrontation and war.

However, when the scam is revealed at the government level and as we have been observing with the negative campaigning by the presidential candidates for the political seat, there will be lots of upheaval and unrest. I am guessing people are waking up that paying their stupid gasoline prices and their principal balances (excluding property taxes, home insurance and monthly bills) that noone could possible payoff in a lifetime is sheer nonsense.

I will mention that by coincidence George W. Bush visited Benin and Ghana recently but has not made headlines with regards to visiting Nigeria of late — the second largest oil producing country of Africa. I will also mention the likes of oil contractors who have done lots to make money behind the scenes in those African countries. I believe this is why TPTB want to install Obama as the next president of the United States. Y’all will see.

So there you have it: Food for oil is a scam. Donation for salvation is a scam, too. I know this is true because so far the trolls continue to laugh behind the backs of us hard working sheep with $104 per barrel of oil. And there is nothing waiting for the likes of us but the processing of our hides to be fed to the very wolves who give us love and light, blinding us to the truth — we are slaves.

20080308-Router Rant

Sat., 8-Mar-2008

In ten minutes, I was able to reset my router. Around 09:30AM, I couldn’t log into my internet, AGAIN! So I sat there and thought maybe my internet connection doesn’t work because I deleted a ’Comment’ to my previous article on router reset as spam. Or perhaps it’s because the CIA wanted to annoy me again about stuff from abroad I might know and they are afraid of us whistleblowers. Or maybe it’s that fat bastard, Pete, who hasn’t called me on Thursday per his voicemail message left on Wednesday. He has refused to answer calls on Friday and Saturday.

Anyway, I proceeded to re-set my router but couldn’t locate a small pen or pencil to push in the reset button located in the back of my router. I tried this fake gold, heart-shaped earring but the stud was too small. Then I dug around some more to look for this fat green clicker pencil and stuck that into the reset button. And I waited until the router lights blinked and then released the pencil.

I waited and then got the a router website at ’http://www.routerlogin.com/’. It asked for my Internet IP Address and Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. It’s a good thing I saved both information and plugged the data into the appropriate fields and then I waited some more. The internet connection still didn’t work. So I decided to completely turn of my computer. After a couple of minutes, I turned on the router and DSL unit, which had to show three of the four lights properly and prior to turning on my computer again.

Without the arm twisting made possible because of the paid walk-through with the Yahoo! AT&T support on January 28, 2008, I wouldn’t have been able to log into my internet service. AT&T is also noted for twisting the arms of the consumer by making the owner of the land line pay a monthly fee as an ‘insurance’ for services in case the disconnect was the fault of the wiring inside the property and not the green relay boxes located on the streets blocks away!

So there you have it: The telecommunications industry is refusing to allow the government from obtaining data on its consumers – to eavesdrop on us old folks ranting about nonsense ranging from ungrateful relatives to interracial relationships, to invade our rights to privacy and to protect us from these alleged terrorists.

The only real terror is right under your nose CHERTOFF: You work for him and his family! I know this is true because y’all are in the same boat and people like me are pissed off at your delays for justice and peace in the whole world! You had your chance to listen to intelligence reports prior to 9/11.

The 9/11 event was really a controlled demolition because y’all symbolically ’deserved it’. Yet you players turned a deaf ear to the truth and failed miserably. And now use whatever means to scare the public in to submission, including George W. Bush’s refusal to ban water boarding, thus allowing the CIA to ‘torture’ people for information.

The information you require is within you own kinds causing fear-mongering to the sheeple. And there is no reason to believe that the American citizens are terrorist — the same hard working people who is unable to keep up with mortgage payments, to pay your stupid high gasoline prices or to find decent work that is being outsourced to children for lower labor costs!

20080228-Pete’s Moronic

Thu., 28-Feb-2008

To ‘Shrimpsei’ and his disingenuous forums:
It’s about those Moronic quorums.
Google ‘Pete’ and his last name of kin –
The Fiji author of my video, upload grin.
TPTB are pissing me off!
Laughing and spitting with their cough
Related to each other, interbreeding kinds
He too is responsible for reading our minds.

Hey! It’s a short poem ranting about unfinished business.
