20080417-Childrens’ Cries

Thu., 17-Apr-2008

I grow weary of the recent news portraying children as abused victims by their possessed handlers, some of which are loving and doting parents (such as Members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a renegade offshoot of the Mormon religion) and even the respected authoritative figureheads (such as priests of the Catholic religion).

Prior to the worldwide broadcast of newsworthy sensationalism, there seemed to have been little notice or any care of anything considered as ‘bad’, ‘wrong’ or unimaginable to the minds of simple folks living out in the country. Now the multi-billion media is capable of bringing to our attention how distracting these out of the ordinary events sway the opinions of the public.

With the technology of television and radio evolving into internet as a good source of up-to-date news, the only history in the making are the cries of many more abused children that go unanswered by the likes of groups (made up of old men and tolerating women) that hide behind the guise of religion, not the Pope’s visit for the very first time on the soil of ‘America’ on Tuesday, April 15, 2008, which is ‘Income Tax Day’ in the United States.

I especially do not appreciate the growing trend of different, tax-free denominations (especially the kinds that cite from various interpretations of the Bible) and how these organizations appear to embody a safe haven for salvation to people who follow blindly without understanding the truth behind donation in the first place.

These donations are supposed to go to those in the most need, like the poor, the hungry and especially the victims of the sexual abuses within the vile clutches of religious entities and not into the constructing of mansions for reverends or the renovating of old buildings and the developing of real estate. One could surmise the possibility that the Vatican is bankrupt, if not financially but spiritually as well.

And the very nature of the Pope’s visit to the U.S. (besides the celebration of his 84th birthday on April 16, 2008 away from his family) could influence the sheer number of votes by Catholics (by almost half the population) in the upcoming Pennsylvania election on April 22, 2008.

His timing could not have been a better from touching down at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to coming out of the Alitalia airlines, waving to the faithful below, walking down the steps rather quickly and shaking hands with George W. Bush on a symbolic double-digit time of around 1:11:45PM.

The Catholic Church and its unification of various religions may be a powerful entity representing the fulfillment of this alleged NWO agenda. And once again media has shown a Muslim convert being blessed on March 22, 2008 at Easter Mass by the Pope as an example to the whole world which religious ’side’ is taken by the United States.

I am suggesting that perhaps this powerful message is a clue as to where the world is headed — order out of chaos, the removal (and possible jail time) of abusive entities to innocent lives and firm believers in an invisible, flesh eating, blood thirsty ‘God’ — their god, not ours. As a result, the children could never go back to pain of former family units but should look forward to hope of freedom loving kinds.

20080417-Safely Sorry

Thu., 17-Apr-2008

I am thinking of blogging safely than being sorry later, of boring than sensational and of practical than unpredictable. Then again I do have useful data that noone seems to notice or take a hint. I will then refrain from pointing fingers or labeling others and will leave the juicy details buried within my blogs for the intelligence community to decode, decipher or decrypt because there are some sensitive readers that do not understand the nature of my blogging in the first place. Noone else outside the circle of strangers should have discovered my whereabouts.

But last night the second bomb (or truthful revelation) was by a kindred brat with the first one by another male brat who was a temporary worker at the place where I left last year around June 2006. That particular event was a personal wake up call (not just to me but for the other people as well) that all out honesty isn’t always the best policy.

And, yes, those with the lack of understanding (no matter how old the soul may be) would truly receive some hurt (a form of karma, really) and hopefully would not return great harm by making a big deal in light of when even the tiniest bit of truth is misconstrued or laid bare for the naked and unaided eyes of everyone to view publically.

I’ve painstakingly renamed some of the characters in my blog and there has to be a better way to get around the hundreds of pages that needs modifying. I may need to learn SQL and PHP to do a mass update of key words and names under WordPress.org, for example. But since my blog is free via WordPress. com, I would have to open up each post entry, modify the details and press the ‘Save’ button each time.

For those who have overlooked the disclaimer in this website: ‘All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental’. So for the easily offended or nit wits, it’s too bad because there are higher levels that I will have to deal with in due time. Some of it is personal; some of it is for everyone else’s sake.

As y’all can see hardly anyone comments on my post entries because I’ve checked on the ‘Membership’ via Settings>General to ‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment’. This means ‘outsiders of WordPress.com’ cannot make stray comments.  I believe I’ve only received at least four comments over the course of two years. The rest of my comments are former versions of my original blog from Yahoo! 360 and Blogger and some additional stories.

There is also another vehicle for public ranting and outcry towards my weblog site and that tracking mechanism happens to be via my email at flynnsblogs [at] gmail [dot] com. But noone uses that except for spammers of male enhancement drugs and computer related support. I hate those types of emails and have to keep logging in to manually delete those even though they will be done automatically by the email provider.

Further, no amount of copyrighting could possibly prevent the robots or ‘real’ people from stealing content here. I viewed the [en.wordpress.forums.com] and learned that emailing the blogger to stop copying content is the first step. Then there is reporting the website as ’spam’ for any violators of the DMCA. The Askimet program helps the blogger to delete these annoyances once is while, too. The WordPress.com support is another place for reporting mature content, for example.

Anyway I think there are way too many opinions online from professional writers to amateur bloggers like myself. And if there is enough enforcement worldwide, then the freedom of speech will grind to a halt, ‘communism’ at best will take over the free will of people and the ‘truthiness’ will resort to keeping their mouths shut or be locked up in prison or silence in some other way, like a sniper’s bullet, which I have thankfully avoided due to my spiritual ‘clearance’ with these nice ‘aliens’. Damn y’all! I will continue ranting so beware! Hahaha!

20080410-Housing Bulls

Fri., 11-Apr-2008

I will remind y’all that noone owes anything of this world. ‘Homeowners’ are owned by the ‘banks’; they do not own homes but mort-gages (death-challenges), which in essence are a very, very, very large loans that in a lifetime no one person could possibly pay off the principal balance no matter what hype in today’s news about the Senate passing this Housing Bill is suppose to do for the consumer, nay, really it’s meant to protect the investors, the developers, the home builders, the construction workers, etc.

Those that do pay-off their mort-gages still do not outright own the land upon which the house structure made of wood and sticks resides. The ‘homeowners’ of these paid off single residences are in essence as well paying ‘rent’ in the form of property tax. In order to live comfortably in the Americanized dream to ‘own’ a dwelling, the ‘homeowners’ must pay their dues, including monthly utility bills of gas, electric, water, garbage and recycling. There is no escape from the clutches of these bullish bills.

Even the recent hype of the stock market won’t mask the reality about a recession, nay, or depression in the United States. There is no way jobless people (like me) could afford health insurance, ‘put away’ money for our retirement or invest (or gamble, really) in stocks and bonds of an already failing market backed by securities (i.e. sub-prime mort-gages) that have no real cash value, which is pretty much worthless chattel paper. Even precious metals like gold and silver mean nothing and loose its shiny value when people are starving and turn to cannibalism just to survive.

There is no surviving in this world where people like me get the wool pulled over our eyes daily. For the past eight years, I’ve been lied to, betrayed and caught in the middle of alien wars about being happy and well taken cared of. To this day, I’ve not seen the manifestation of these empty promises, originally secured by the likes of those holding my black pearls that in acid become nothing but sand, which in time runs out like the hour glass containing the patience of exercising my right to pursue the path less taken - justice, just like a brave soul who reported the stupidity of child abusers at the Eldorado, Texas compound of Mormons.

Anyway, those that know how to take advantage of the system do not care if the ‘New United States of China’ is really holding the Americanized people hostage. Instead of killing and murdering its people in communist China (i.e. Tibet), the unaware Americanized people are forced to work more with less purchasing power (by the coughing up of over fifty cents for every dollar earned if comparing Euros to US Dollars, for example).

Without the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar or the ability to stay in a house (which should no longer be considered ‘home sweet home’), there is no way the taxpayers will be able to foot the bill and clean up the mess cause by the United States for starting the war in Iraq and breaking the socio-economic infrastructure in the first place.

The Senate was publically dissatisfied after today’s speech given by George W. Bush, who said withdrawing troops in July 2008 will freeze. They didn’t get their answers about the conditions on why the Iraq war continues either from the testimony by General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 8, 2007.

This shows how much further into debt the United States has gotten itself into both domestically and internationally. More freak accidents (like cranes falling down) and usual weather patterns (like freezing temperatures in the Bay Area) will occur as the Senate continues to pass its futile bills to help themselves out of same agenda as the President. In the meantime ordinary folks like you and me will burp and pass more gas in higher prices close to $4.00 per gallon.

20080407-Poor Pariah

Mon., 7-Apr-2008

On Saturday evening, my parental units and I ate dinner together with Ben and Myrna, who usually attend the afternoon mass at 05:00PM.  ‘Maw’ and Myrna decided to chat together while ‘Paw’ and I sat in the pew next to them, waiting for the twosome to finish their conversation. Our local church was already cleared of people upon the lights turning off and being locked up for the night by Ben when we saw the smiling priest come and greet us.

Father Vu will be missed. And later on during the course of our dinner, which was mixed vegetable on top of chow fun drowning in sauce, one whole sole fish, deep fried pork and house fried rice, we learned from Ben why Father Vu sounded so very sad on the 05:00PM mass on Saturday, March 29, 2008. When I heard the priest sing the ‘In Praise of God’ section at the time, his voice was very low and melancholy.

According to Ben, Father Perata gave Father Vu a recommendation similar to Ben’s gesture of a thumb pointing downward. This meant Father Vu would be transferred out of St. Victor’s Church in San Jose, CA and to another Catholic church locate in Campbell, CA, which is a very old town and mostly white. Father Vu is Vietnamese by the way. I mumbled under my breath full of chow mein: ’I didn’t know that the white priest is prejudice’.

I believe politics played a role in this religious organization and blatant discrimination between the whites and Asians has reared it ugly head in our own church. I heard something about the same white priest mentioning to some person(s) about that Asian priest eating from a rice bowl and how that white priest would ’summon’ another with his right index finger as if the other person was a dog. (The old timers prior to Dr. King’s efforts know what this fingering gesture signifies, I’m sure).

As mentioned somewhere in my previous blog, Father Perata seems ‘alien’ to me. He would rub his ear and head at times as if tuning in to what I had to ’say’ while I blasted him during my prayerful moments. One time I slightly startled him as if he recognized me: He winked at me knowingly with his left eye as he handed me the Eucharist one time.

During the ‘Preparation of the Eucharist’, one disturbing action I sometimes notice is his single jerking motion of the empty cup (prior to the pouring of the wine or water) to remove that napkin thing covering the top of the cup. I would assume he knows something about that ritual with blood drinking for the reptoids from ‘fruit of the vine and work of human hands’ deal.

I will mention also that he does have barely visible ‘horns’ located on either side of his forehead and just above his eyebrows. I am assuming but noticed on cable programming these features on government officials, television personalities and celebrities alike. (’Maw’ and I noticed the same ‘horn’s popping out from some of the panels during the Thursday, April 3, 2008 Senate Banking Committee on Capitol Hill).

Some of us are planning to take Father Vu out for dinner but somehow that would be much later and probably after he is transferred out to his new church. I heard the Vicar called out to me ‘Lyn’ twice while I waited in the lobby for my parental units and a couple, Fred and Rose. I turned around to see him smiling in his white garment.

I had already visualized this happening earlier this morning as he opened out both his arms to greet me and another moment of time has passed between two souls. To me this symbolizes how some nicer people are booted out for their own good and probably sent far away because some ‘aliens’ cannot stand the energy from good hearted folks, like Father Vu.

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.

20080326-McCain’s Able

Wed., 26-Mar-2008

I like John McCain’s speech at the ‘Los Angeles World Council Affairs’ a few minutes ago, which was finished this morning at around 09:45AM. He mentioned not liking war because he has been through hell as a POW (or prisoner of war) for five years while serving in the Vietnam War. He knows what it is like to be all alone and lonely in a strange land, while being tortured by ‘enemies’ all around him.

His example of torture is analogous to the United State and its unpopular president’s pre-emptive strike in an illegal war, which killed many Iraqi civilians compared to the American military casualty of 4,000 as presented by recent televised mind programmings. The pain and suffering is not only felt by those who lost family members to the war but by the hard working people and the financial impact on the American economy.

His speech strikes me as believable — the military (realistically) cannot be pulled out from the Middle East due to ’security interest’ of the real estate value of Iraq and Iran. The region has been unstable historically for the longest time and once again the people of the Middle East must be the ones to change ultimately and mature away from their ancestor’s religious dogmas.

[While on the topic of religion, I don't see why religion must be used to scare the people into fearful, group-thinking sheep -- from those extreme Islamic fundamentalists to Reverend Jeremiah Wright's bigoted and racial comments about whites and the vain usage of 'God'. His speech is by far not appropriate to children and should not be rated 'G' either.]

This brings me to why I am not too sure about Barack Obama and is association with those who continue to harbor racial sentiments by generations of the past, which is long gone. And like old wounds that should heal over time, the seven year war with Iraq has to be over and out, too, and soon. Guilt may be shared but blood is thicker than water.

The United States lost not only the war but the support of the international community. If McCain is ‘able’ to bring the troops home, I’ll vote for him instead of Obama (whose policies still remains quite ambiguous to me) if he is nominated as the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.

At least in today’s speech, McCain makes more sense about his role as the presumptive nominee for president with the Republican Party. Either way, TPTB will almost always use their ‘chosen’ puppet to achieve their agendas. And that, my friend, will be a long war to battle if people continue to rely on ONE person, a president, for resolutions to the planet’s ever-changing global economy.

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-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!

20080302-Black Sheep

Sun., 2-Mar-2008

I have been observing group-thinking lambs everywhere and hearing their cult-like chanting: ‘Yes, we can! Ohhh-Baaa-Maaa!’ The fact Obama is related as a distant eight cousin to Dick Cheney, who is related to George W. Bush who in turn is related to John Kerry has been recently discovered by Lynne Cheney, the wife of Dick Cheney.

No wonder the media has given Obama so much media attention, while putting the likes of Ron Paul and the rest behind the pack for the wolves to be consumed with gusto. People seem to ingest whatever ambiguous statements as the voice of hope by Obama, who happens to regurgitate (like a parrot) during the debates from his only Democratic competitor, Hillary Clinton, who has yet to show her tax forms to the public when and if she is nominated for the Democratic party.

The Democratic Party has the potential to form a dream team between Obama and Hillary. With the likes of the Bilderberg Group and Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski backing up these two, the alleged Messiah has been formed in the minds of the sheeple. In one of Jay Leno’s comedic skit, Jay jokes about Obama being ‘born in a manger’, like the Lord Jesus Christ (or Son of God or Son of Man).

Obama and his message of unity and peace both ring true for most people. He is young and charismatic and appeals to a wide audience who don’t know that his inexperience in the political arena makes him a useful tool by the puppet masters. Change won’t happen here because he is just like any politician, ready to fill the vacant seat as president of a bankrupt country — the United States.

The only change seems to be the NWO’s agenda to control the populace of the United States with chip implants (the size of a grain of rice). This means humans are to be treated no better like animals. With this biometric chip, the FBI can track everyone’s statistics from scars and behavior to anyone who is considered a menace and threat to the public safety.

These implants are already in use medically. For example, ”Maw’ has a metallic implant in her left breast area (which is the side where the heart is located). This is to make tracking easier to locate a BENIGN breast cancer, which has NEVER appeared in our family history. ‘Maw’ also has both ocular eye implants for both eyes to ‘cure’ her cataracts. Yet noone would dispute the moral implications behind the chip implantations on people.

The black sheep of the family is indeed the wolf in sheep clothing. Obama will continue to do whatever ‘they’ want with us sheeple - to fatten up with cloned and GMO food, inject with mercury-laced vaccinations and program with consistent lies through the media in relative oblivion by the shepherd who will lead us to greener pastures.

If Obama is nominated to represent the Democratic Party, then my parental units will not vote. As a matter of fact, my parental units will vote for John McCain instead. Since there is war going on in the Middle East, Obama is less qualified to inherit a ‘war of the world’ than McCain, who is veteran of over two decades in politics. We might as well install this Republican, who really sounds like a Democratic Liberal.
