The “profit motive” should be considered perverse, anti-human and a crime against humanity.
Let me preface this piece by stating that; “A human should not have to pay to exist on the planet where they were born.”
“Profit,” or “Usury” are both the same, and a horrible thing to be perpetrated against a fellow human being. If you are a believer in God, you should know this. If you don’t believe in God, you have bigger issues to deal with.
Let’s have a look at “Profit:” let’s say that I have apples that cost me $0.10 cents per pound to grow and deliver to market. At market, I tell you that if you want to eat apples, you need to pay me $0.15 cents per pound to buy my apples. At this point, I make a 50% “profit.”
Let’s have a look at “Usury:” let’s say that I have an ounce of gold that cost me $20.00 (20 dollars) per ounce to obtain. At the bank, I tell you that if you want to borrow my gold to use any way you want, you need to pay me $22.00 (22 dollars and 00 cents) per ounce to use my gold. At this point, I make a 10% “profit.”
In either case, you want what I have, and I am going to make you pay me a “profit” to get it!
Let’s think about that or a second…are either of these circumstances “fair” to the human beings that want to eat or use capital funds? Think hard. Would it be more “fair’ for the apple seller to sell his apples at $0.11 cents per pound and take a lesser 10% profit? Or would it be more “fair” for a banker to loan out his gold at a rate of 0.10%? The question is what is “Fair” and to whom is it fair? What is an acceptable “Profit?”
The question is: “Is it fair, or “just” for one human on the planet to profit from another human on the planet?” If so, is there a “Fair & Just” amount of “profit” that one human on the planet charges from another human on the planet? I think there is….
Unfortunately, some humans on this planet don’t, they think that whatever profit they want, or whatever profit they can get, is good. It is not.
Now lets say that even if there was a “fair” profit for whatever, you, as the profiteer, could say; “well, apples are in short supply, so I am justified in charging more profit for my apples.” Maybe that is so and maybe you chose to only pick half of your apple crop so as to make apples scarce, then are you justified in charging more profit for your apples?
What if you picked all of your apple crop and had plenty to sell, but you paid people to go into the street and cry out; “Oh help us, apples are in short supply!” so as to make people believe that apples were scarce, so you could charge more for your apples? Would that be Fair & Just for you to do?
How about if you were a banker and you bought gold that cost $20.00 an ounce, but you got together with other bankers and all agreed that gold was now worth $30.00 dollars an ounce? Then you told your customers that you would loan them your gold at the same old low 10% rate as before? Would that be fair? You bought the gold for $20.00 an ounce, said it was worth $30.00 an ounce at 10% interest and collected $33.00 per ounce in repayment? Would that be fair & just of you to do?
Well sorry! None of the above would be fair or just of you to do to your fellow human beings.
The only reason that any of us human beings think this is fair and just is that the profiteers have conned us into believing so. You have been conned into thinking that profiteers are OK making 10%, 20%, 30% or 100% from you, a human being who lives on this planet and was even born here!
When you figure out that your leaders are part of the con game, that media is part of the con game, that your hope of making such profits are part of the con game, and then shun the profiteers for what they are; perverse users of fellow human beings, who profit at your expense, who are anti-human beasts who care more for profit than for their fellow humans, then you might realize what is to be human. Which, by the way, is to care for your fellow human beings who were born on this planet.
Don’t leave me comments about returns on capital, or markets, or free enterprise of any of that other lying crap, if you do it just means you bought the lie. You are deluded, you are inhuman, you are perverse and you should be tried for crimes against humanity.
“A human should not have to pay to exist on the planet where they were born.” You should have to work at it, but never to pay another human profit or usury.

Shall we call a Wrong thing "Right?"
Classifying out of public view your war crimes is a war crime on top of a war crime... like touture of prisoners, detaining journalists, depleted uraium amunition, targeted drone assasinations, etc...etc.... why are three war criminals (or four if you add the blood queen: hillary clinton to) clinton/bush/obama war criminals on the loose?. Where is the international community? Where are the true americans who still have a conscience?
We let war criminals roam free while we lock up such as the patriot, Bradley Manning as a terrorist for leaking the thruth about the war criminals? Really??
Some day, you will stand befor God and he'll have a right to ask you... why did you accept wrong as right, and right as wrong?
What is your answer???

At BP Oil, Brilliance and Insanity are indeed close cousins!
sounds like a marketing tag Line...
Have lately been fascinated by the Louisiana Sinkhole. At first, it seemed to be just another sinkhole story, but with bad photos. Then, as the details came out, the story has been nagging the back of my mind in an kind of “this means more, or means something else…” mind tickling way that has been happening lately.
If you don’t know the story, it started when a shitload of bubbles bubbled up from a swamp and walls rattled in Assumption Parish Louisiana. It was a miniscule story at first, Then, in Bayou Corne, in Assumption Parish Louisiana, a sinkhole opened up. OK! Bubbles in a swamp, walls rattling and a 357 ft round by 422 ft deep sinkhole is growing and that is big news.
Then the details: It seems that this corporation, “Texas Brine Inc.” got the bright idea to use ancient geological structure known as “Salt Domes” - these geological structures of salt are like mile(s) wide and miles deep, and are apparently (or not) thought to be good places to store dangerous stuff like nuclear waste or volatile butane gas.
It seems that Texas Brine Inc. used two adjacent salt domes to store radioactive waste in one, and a huge amount of butane gas in the other. Unfortunately for Assumption Parish Louisiana and more specifically, Bayou Corne, The cap of one or the other Salt Dome is caving in. Texas Brine Inc. isn’t stating which. Yet, there is a great honkin’ sinkhole and everyone in Assumption Parish Louisiana is waiting to find out which is coming out; radioactive waste, or a butt-load of flammable butane gas.
While I am on the edge of my seat to discover the answer as well as the residents of Assumption Parish Louisiana, something else has been nettling the back of my mind…it is the “Salt Dome” and the crazy idea that you could use them to store something in one.
Bear with me a second… In all my life I only heard the ‘salt dome’ phrase once before, and that was in the BP Oil Spill disaster wherein BP oil drilled through a salt dome on their way, 4 miles down, to striking abiotic oil that was at such a high pressure that 25000psi blew an oil rig all to hell and caused the worst environmental disaster in my lifetime (well worst until Fukushima Japan lost 4 nuclear reactors to an earthquake and tsunami and radiated the northern hemisphere).
When I read that BP oil drilled through a salt dome, I keep getting a picture of what happens to a sugar cub when you drop a drop of water on it (a favorite pass-time of mine as a child). I thought, at the time, that BP was just stupid for such an error in judgment for drilling through a salt dome. At the time, I thought it was just BP Oil’s hubris and greed that lead them to believe that they could control 25000psi with a rig designed to handle 6000psi flows of oil.
I mean really, I’m sure that BP Oil must have known about the Russian’s experience with this super deep, super high pressure, abiotic oil. How the Russian’s had to fail many times, even to the point of having to nuke a well to close it after it got away from them. How the Russians had to spend a bunch of money to master the equipment needed to dril for this oil.
Then tonight I had an epiphany… BP Oil never, ever thought that they could control the Macando well complex, with standard oil well equipment, when they hit oil at 4 miles deep… No, they were not concerned with the consequences, they never planned to control that well. They had something else in mind. Oh and it might be brilliance boarding on insanity.
BP Oil drilled through the salt dome in hopes that the salt dome would fill with abiotic high pressure oil. The pressure would eventually drop, or equalize, then BP could tap into the salt dome with cheap, low pressure standard drilling equipment and suck out a bunch of oil at a low cost. The BP Oil disaster is a great big experiment using salt domes for oil storage.
Whether this was a brilliant plan by BP oil, or a reckless gamble is yet to be seen, but if we are taking Texas Brine Inc.’s recent sinkhole experience as a guide, I suspect that BP oil’s experiment will not end well.

When I hear the phrase “Gun Control” I think of three things
1. Keep it handy – Know where it is and practice getting it. Keep your weapon in an easy to reach spot where you are most likely to need it. In an interior cabinet or closet, 20 or more feet from the front door is best, hanging above the door with a spare clip. Out of reach of children, but within the reach of an adult. If you really need to have a trigger lock, keep that key on your person, on a chain around your neck.
2. Use an appropriate caliber - big guns and “stopping power” are a fallacy… a controllable weapon is an effective weapon. 44 caliber, 357 caliber and even 45 caliber handguns require a bit of training to handle effectively. Stick with, 22, 25 or 38 caliber handguns, semi-automatic or revolvers… big guns are hard to aim after the first shot unless you drill with them often. Remember, any shooter’s aim goes off when they are experiencing “return fire,” no matter what the caliber. That, and a hit with even a 22 caliber bullet is going to fuck up your assailant’s whole day.
3. Aiming under stress – go to the range and take a wife, husband, child or friend and have them yell & scream a bunch of crazy shit at you while shooting target practice. Have them pitch tennis balls at your head while firing target practice. When the time comes to use your gun, it ain’t going to be some sterile calm environment. It’ll be the most chaotic event imaginable, train for that chaotic event.
Remember, guns don’t kill people, good aim does! God forbid it ever comes to that, but the 2nd amendment was incorporated into the US constitution to keep the individual, their families, their communities and the nation as a whole, safe. Safe from foreign and/or domestic enemies. Control your weapon, control your life.
“Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The other reason that the 2nd amendment was incorporated into the US constitution was to give out of control (out of civilian control / voter control) governments pause before disobeying they will of the people, that our constitution not only gives us the right, but also the responsibility, to remove any government who is not protecting and defending all of the constitution and the lives, liberty and welfare of our own citizens.
Every American should read and understand the founding document of this country, i.e. the Constitution of the United States of America http://www.usconstitution.net/const.pdf
That all being said, I am all for reasonable “gun controls” in as much as there is a need to keep guns out of the hands of violent convicted felons, or medically/ psychologically certifiable people with mental illnesses, or even people with a professed and/or demonstrable predilection to harm individual persons, or the society as a whole.
Yet the fact remains that in comparison, traffic accidents, medical malpractice, and pharmaceutical drug reactions kill far more persons in the USA than does gun violence. Gun violence is just more shocking than are traffic accidents, medical malpractice, and pharmaceutical drug reactions. It is important to keep our perceptions in perspective when we think of “Gun Control.”
Do not be swayed by the “Shock Value” of any unfortunate gun related incidents. Could all of these things; traffic accidents, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical drug reactions and gun violence benefit from closer scrutiny and thoughtful regulations? Sure, you bet, as long as it is done with sane, non-knee-jerk reactions.

So you thought it was over….
“It” is nowhere near “over.’ The Fukushima radioactive event, or “It” is far from over. Let that sink in… There are four (4) melted down nuclear reactors just a short (DAYS) jet-stream upwind of the USA, and all the euphemistic terms such as “Cold Shut-down” are lies. These melted down nuclear reactors are spewing radioactive isotopes into the air and into the Pacific Ocean at a pretty good clip.
It would be a good bit worse for America if “someone” were not steering the jet-stream up north hard over northern Canada, an uninhabited (mostly) wild-land where the radioactive fall-out / rain-out will do less damage to humans (Humans in the US of A). However, there is a cost to be paid for this jet-stream steering… It is Iceland and the Iceland Ice sheet, which is melting fast. As well, the drought in the US. Go Look at the jet-stream, it is flying about seven or eight hundred miles north of where it should be this time of year (or more), causing droughts & heat waves in the US and melting Ice in Iceland.
Don’t get me wrong, I am glad “someone” had the presence of mind to steer the jet-stream northwards and spare me (at 39 degrees north latitude) the rain-out and metallic taste in my mouth. Hell, I can go out in the rain and no get sick! As for the Icelandic Ice sheet, all that will do is dilute the Atlantic conveyer belt currents and eventually freeze the f**k out of Northern European countries and Eastern European countries. Since I don’t live there, Oh well! I’m good.
I will be a little put out by the rise in food prices brought on by the drought though (eggs went up 30% this last week, & beef is up 25% in the last 60 days), but again, I have taken measures to mitigate that inevitability (preparations of a gardening / farming nature and food storage foresight). Alas, if it were only Fukushima and food prices, I would be glad… but not so fast, there are 144 Fukushima like reactors waiting to happen here in the US, and 40 or so are upwind of me.
24 hours without electricity is all it takes to turn your friendly neighborhood nuclear reactor into a Fukushima-like melted pile of radioactivity spewing slag corium melting into a “China Syndrome” like death. Oh! I can hear the comments now… Alarmist, Where’s my data? Fear monger…. Come on! Is there any “safe” dose of radiation? I don’t think so, and neither do many experts that are pretty easy to find in popular alternative media and YouTube for God’s sake.
Yet somehow, the Mainstream News media, the NRC and the EPA are all ‘Mum’ on the subject? Could it be that there are a few dollars of Nuclear Industry Corporate moneys at play here? Say it ain’t so! Would Corporations involved in The Nuclear Industry really put their own profits above the Public Health Good? In a word ‘yes’ they would. So you go on buying what they are selling and when you or your children fall ill with Leukemia, or your Thyroid cancer migrates to your brain, then you can look back on this piece and yet deny what I have said again and blame it on your ‘lifestyle” or ‘fate” or increased chance of cancer from low dose radiation from radon gas in your basement.

Likewise, the architects of the destruction of America are also up to no-good at the 2012 Zion Olympics as a prelude and run up to WW3 (or really WW4) wherein China and Russia are fixin’ t’ kick the Dog-Snot outta’ the Evil Empire (NATO, America & Israel) for running amok in their African, Arab and Persian neighbors’ sovereign territories with no good reason. It’ll likely start of with pestilence followed by the flash-bang dazzling of nuclear bombardment, or maybe the other way ‘round, but whatever, they got it in the hopper…
