Jack Johnson - It's All Understood

This is a phenomenal song by Jack Johnson. It is amazing how he can put together songs that are relatively simple, but yet so powerful. He is a perfect example of "less is more". There was no official video so I found this one on youtube instead...



Lyrics -

Everyone laughed at her joke
As if they'd never even heard it before
And maybe they were truly amused
But every word that she spoke was a bore
And maybe it's because they had seen
The previews on the TV screen
Well this part is good and that's well understood
So you should laugh if you know what I mean

But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

Everyone knows what went down
Because the news was spread all over town
And fact is only what you believe
And fact and fiction work as a team
It's almost always fiction in the end
That content begins to bend
When context is never the same

And it's all relative
Even if we don't understand
And it's all understood
Especially when we don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

I was reading a book
Or maybe it was a magazine
Suggestions on where to place faith
Suggestions on what to believe
But I read somewhere
That you've got to beware
You can't believe anything you read
But the good Book is good
And it's all understood
So don't even question
If you know what I mean

But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
And it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

But there you go once again
You missed the point and then you point
Your fingers at me
And say that I said not to believe
I believe
I guess
I guess it's all relative

Fwd: A Wasted Vote


I just wanted to share this with anyone who is willing to read it. I definitely recommend everyone take a few minutes to read through this to see what Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party is all about, especially if you are currently undecided on who to vote for.

Thanks,

Kevan




A Wasted Vote

by Chuck Baldwin
October 10, 2008

When asked why they will not vote for a third party candidate, many people will respond by saying something like, "He cannot win." Or, "I don't want to waste my vote." It is true: America has not elected a third party candidate since 1860. Does that automatically mean, however, that every vote cast for one of the two major party candidates is not a wasted vote? I don't think so.

In the first place, a wasted vote is a vote for someone you know does not represent your own beliefs and principles. A wasted vote is a vote for someone you know will not lead the country in the way it should go. A wasted vote is a vote for the "lesser of two evils." Or, in the case of John McCain and Barack Obama, what we have is a choice between the "evil of two lessers."

Albert Einstein is credited with saying that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. For years now, Republicans and Democrats have been leading the country in the same basic direction: toward bigger and bigger government; more and more socialism, globalism, corporatism, and foreign interventionism; and the dismantling of constitutional liberties. Yet, voters continue to think that they are voting for "change" when they vote for a Republican or Democrat. This is truly insane!

Take a look at the recent $700 billion Wall Street bailout: both John McCain and Barack Obama endorsed and lobbied for it. Both McCain and Obama will continue to bail out these international banksters on the backs of the American taxpayers. Both McCain and Obama support giving illegal aliens amnesty and a path to citizenship. In the debate this past Tuesday night, both McCain and Obama expressed support for sending U.S. forces around the world for "peacekeeping" purposes. They also expressed support for sending combat forces against foreign countries even if those countries do not pose a threat to the United States. Neither Obama nor McCain will do anything to stem the tide of a burgeoning police state or a mushrooming New World Order. Both Obama and McCain support NAFTA and similar "free trade" deals. Neither candidate will do anything to rid America of the Federal Reserve, or work to eliminate the personal income tax, or disband the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Both Obama and McCain support the United Nations. So, pray tell, how is a vote for either McCain or Obama not a wasted vote?

But, back to the "he cannot win" argument: to vote for John McCain is to vote for a man who cannot win. Yes, I am saying it here and now: John McCain cannot win this election. The handwriting is on the wall. The Fat Lady is singing. It is all over. Finished. John McCain cannot win.

With only three weeks before the election, Barack Obama is pulling away. McCain has already pulled his campaign out of Michigan. In other key battleground states, McCain is slipping fast. He was ahead in Missouri; now it is a toss-up or leaning to Obama. A couple of weeks ago, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida were all leaning towards McCain, or at least toss-up states. Now, they are all leaning to Obama. Even the longtime GOP bellwether state of Indiana is moving toward Obama. In addition, new voter registrations are at an all-time high, and few of them are registering as Republicans. In fact, the Republican Party now claims only around 25% of the electorate, and Independents are increasingly leaning toward Obama.

Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama is headed for an electoral landslide victory over John McCain. John McCain can no more beat Barack Obama than Bob Dole could beat Bill Clinton.

I ask, therefore, Are not conservatives and Christians who vote for John McCain guilty of the same thing that they accuse people who vote for third party candidates of doing? Are they not voting for someone who cannot win? Indeed, they are. In fact, conservatives and Christians who vote for John McCain are not only voting for a man who cannot win, they are voting for a man who does not share their own beliefs and principles. If this is not insanity, nothing is!

So, why not (for once in your life, perhaps) cast a vote purely for principle! Vote for someone who is truly pro-life. Someone who would quickly secure our nation's borders, and end the invasion of our country by illegal aliens. Someone who would, on his first day in office, release Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean and fire U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. Someone who would immediately, upon assuming office, begin leading the charge to dismantle the Federal Reserve, overturn the 16th Amendment, expunge the IRS, and return America to sound money principles. Someone who would get the US out of the UN. Someone who would stop spending billions and trillions of dollars for foreign aid. Someone who would prosecute the Wall Street bankers who defrauded the American people out of billions of dollars. Someone who would work to repeal NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, the WTO, and stop the NAFTA superhighway. Someone who would say a resounding "No" to the New World Order. Someone who would stop using our brave men and women in uniform as global cops for the United Nations. Someone who would stop America's global adventurism and interventionism. Someone who would steadfastly support and defend the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

"Who is this person?" you ask. Go here to find out:

BALDWIN '08

As John Quincy Adams said, "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."

Fwd: Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks was way ahead of his time (he died in 1994). His material was funny, philosophical and over the top at times. He has been right on about a lot of things pertaining to politics, government and really life in general. Here are some highlights...

Fwd: North American Union

This is my attempt at informing everyone I know that we are going to be losing our national sovereignty by being combined with Mexico and Canada along with what is going to be our new currency after that happens.

---------- Forwarded message ----------


All,

I wanted to bring something to your attention and get your feedback on it. There are currently plans in place to combine the USA with Canada and Mexico into 1 "North American Union". Included in that would be the introduction of a new currency for all 3 countries called the Amero. I am going to include some links to some information I have watched and read recently at the bottom of this email and I encourage everyone to go out and do the research themselves to form your own opinion.

Personally, I am worried about the future of the Unites States of America and I wanted to share this information with everyone I can because it is happening right now without our consent. Please take some time to check out these links and make an opinion for yourself. I would love to hear your feedback and opinions on this so feel free to email me back and let me know what your thoughts are.

Fwd: Before you vote


This is an email I recently sent out via the forbidden "Reply To All" button. After getting a political email I didn't quite agree with that seemed to possibly support John McCain I decided not to remain silent or passive. So far I have had exactly 0 responses on it. I believe the bumper sticker that reads "If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention" fits here. I would have expected to make someone angry enough to write me back, whether in agreement or not I didn't really care. Personally I think people in general have just become so desensitized by the media that feeling anger, passion and emotion towards a topic like this is too hard to muster any more. Now if for some reason the season premier of American Idol or Desperate Housewives was interrupted, that would be a different story, that might incite a riot! People don't really seem to care that we are losing our national sovereignty and the president has the power to claim dictatorship control over this country though. Go figure...

Hello all.

I don't know who wrote this since it was anonymous and I don't normally reply to things like this, however after reading through it I feel motivated to do so. I do not intend to offend anyone either so please feel free to investigate things for yourself and come to your own conclusions as I have done.

Whoever wrote this is correct, we do not live in the same world as we did around WWII or even Vietnam. Things are very different now. We live in a world controlled by fear and deception. Just look around, car accidents kill more Americans each year than terrorists. Why don't we wage wars on automobiles?

It is the same tactic Hitler used. Provide a false enemy and control the people with fear. Trick them into giving up their rights voluntarily in the interest of "security". The Patriot Act, "Homeland" Security, the National ID card and Presidential Directive NSPD-51 which gives the president the authority to declare martial law in the event of a self declared (no congressional approval) national emergency are all examples of methods being used to take our freedoms away.

Though many don't know it there are candidates other than Obama and McCain. There are third party candidates out there and I recommend checking them out. Personally I am voting for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution party. He stands for the beliefs of the founding fathers and the Constitution. He has also vowed to appoint Ron Paul as Secretary Of Treasury if he were elected. If you have been lucky enough to catch Ron Paul talking about our economy you might have realized he is the only one who makes any sense in regards to putting our economy back together.

And oh yeah, we are about to be merged with Mexico and Canada into a North American Union under the Security and Prosperity Partnership. We will all be spending Ameros instead of dollars before you know it.

Quote

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, 'Hey – don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride ...' And we ... kill those people. Ha ha, 'Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because – it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."
 
Bill Hicks - 1990

Introduction...

When I watch the news I have this nagging feeling that what I am watching is surreal. Like it is all part of a dream so I can disregard it and when I wake up everything will be ok so I don't need to worry about what I am observing. Well recently I woke up and everything is not ok. Until recently I was content not knowing about what was happening in the world, but I have done a complete 180 on that. I used to fall into the category of "ignorance is bliss", but today I am done with being ignorant. I want to know what kind of world I brought my children into so I can do what I need to do to try to ensure that they have some kind of future. The purpose of this blog will be to help inform as many people as possible about what is going on in the government today that is not heavily reported on, if at all. I am not a politician and I am not a historian. I am an American citizen who is watching The Constitution and The Bill Of Rights whither away before my eyes. I feel like I need to do something about it so this is my attempt at informing as many people as I can about where we are headed.
