What The Heck???

There I was. Eating lunch at the park. It was a sack lunch, the usual, a sandwich, chips and some other little snacks. There was yet another protest going on across the square. I wasn't even really paying attention to what they were protesting. There was some yelling, chanting some political thing. There were a few cops around. The mounted cops looked bored; their horses chewing there cud and the cops chatting. No one seemed really all that interested.

I took a second bite out of my chicken sandwich and noticed a some kind've bug flying around the tree beside the bench I was sitting on. I noticed that it was a dragonfly. I took special note, because dragonflies are my favorite. They come in such beautiful colors, they fly like nothing else and they seem very intelligent. They're cool! But this one looked funny for some reason. It didn't fly like any dragonfly I had ever seen. It seemed to fly real smooth and even. The dragonflies that I had always seen jerked this way and that way, like they were looking for prey or looking for a fight with another dragonfly. This one would fly a few feet and hover in one spot for what seemed like a long time. I couldn't figure out what it was doing.

The guy sitting at the other end of the bench saw me watching the dragonfly. I could tell that he was curious as to what I found so interesting about this bug. Suddenly it flew pretty close to him and he reached out and took a swat at it! I was shocked that he was able to actually hit it. There's no way you can even ever get close to a dragonfly, unless he's sick or something. They're just too smart. This one hit the ground and buzzed a few seconds and went dead as a doornail!There it lay between us on the ground. We looked at each other and then at the dragonfly in surprise. We almost knocked heads as we went down to the ground to get a closer look.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. this wasn't at all a dragonfly. It was't even a bug. It was mechanical! You could see the man made wings and body and the electronics. Yes it was tiny, but it was a machine! As we inspected it, I could see on the underside that it hadsomething that was surely a lens. It was so small it was almost indefinable. But it was there. We both shot our heads up quickly, looking for the owner of this cool little flying machine! Surely there's some geeky guy standing around holding one of those hand controls with the toggle switches. But there was no one. It then became very creepy. What the heck was going on here? Who was controlling this thing. I was afraid to bring it home. I did some research on the Internet and was shocked at all of the things I saw. These kind of clandestine devices have been around for years. They are used to fool and spy on folks. I would have never have noticed it if it hadn't been for my interest in dragonflies. And I would have never had a second thought if that other guy hadn't knocked it down!

I still wonder... who was controlling it. And what were they looking at? Was it the protesters across the square, was it the guy sitting on the bench with me. Or maybe it was me???

Can We Still Trust America?

What the heck is going on here?

Tonight I sat down for a nice Sunday dinner with my family. I cooked a brisket all day until it was tender and mouth watering. Not unlike most Americans, I sat down in front of the television with a plate of sliced brisket, ready to dig in. Then on the television came the story. Maybe you saw it where ever you live. Some beef company in Chino California has the biggest beef recall in the history of the country. Apparently they got greedy and were using cattle that were sick and not meeting standards. About a week ago there was a story on this very same plant that showed the workers abusing the cattle, using forklifts to push them around, using water spray, kicking and hitting them and really, any means necessary to get them into the killing stall. It was sickening.

I lost my appetite. Now I'm a meat eater, not a vegetarian. Nothing against the veggies out there, but I do have a soft spot for animals in my heart. Let's don't even go there, I'm not going to argue with you about using animals for food. The fact of the matter is, that getting it done, can be done humanely. My point, that I'm so very slowly getting to, is who can we trust anymore? You can't trust the beef industry, you can't trust the pig farmers, poultry farmers, nor can we trust Monsanto and the vegetables that we eat. Just this last year we've had a number of Ecoli breakouts from good old leafy green vegetables. Did you know that Monsanto uses Ecoli to modify the genes of soy and other food plants? All of a sudden soy doesn't sound so healthy or tasty does it? Afterall, Ecoli is predominantly found in feces.

So the food resources are trash. What about the pharmaceutical corporations? What do you think they're putting in your meds? And then there's the healthcare industry - what a joke it is. It's an oxymoron to call it the Healthcare Industry! If you have health insurance have you tried to use it lately? What about the fuel supply - fossil fuels, etc.. What's going on there, with the price at the pump? Why don't we have alternative fuels now?

When you start thinking about all of these things, you begin to believe that it can all be marked down to greed. Sure it's greed. But I think that somewhere, someone is more greedy than we have never realized. At first, one might be tempted to think that it's the beef company, the other food companies, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, car and oil companies, and all the rest. Maybe you think that capitalism has gotten carried away with itself. The American way... you know?

No, I think that it's more than that.

My experience with a "brain cloud" tells me that WE are the cattle. WE are the product. WE as the human race are being pacified, allowed to own a home, a car and have the illusion of freedom and liberty, when we really have no such thing! WE are a crawling mass of slaves, producing the GNP and taxes at the cost of real honest liberty. I tend to agree with Stephen Greer, from the Disclosure Project. I saw him recently at a talk in Hunignton Beach. He stated that there is no reason that we couldn't be 50 years ahead of where we are now, technologically speaking. I have no doubt that we could have cures for cancer, clean fuel, most of our social ills cured and on and on.

But why? Why do we not have these accomplishments on record? Why would we be kept as slaves and cattle? Honestly I don't know. I do have some ideas about it. Is there a clandestine group of super rich people shaping and controlling our world? Is there a contract between our government and evil extraterrestrials? I don't really think that our government has the resources to do all of this on its own. But I do think that certain people in the government do know these facts.

What are your feelings and thoughts about this?
