union of soviet states & union of american states making same miss-takes - bailing out aparatchik cornies & phoneys -the future is watching.

we in the west celebrated the fall of communism and now we are experiencing the fall of capitalism - socialism, capitalism, communism, theism the isms of schism - we think these isms protect us and bring us together but in the end they tear us apart as we have seen the union of soviet states down fall was because of supporting the aparatchik the aristocracy much like the french in the french revolution was about equality and fraternity whereas the american revolution was about independence - but alas and alac we need to re-invent the future as we see the same thing happening now - and what brought down communism was a financial melt down and what is bringing down capitalism and the union of american states which can now be called the union of american miss-takes - we were so full of ourselves in the west we didn’t learn the lessons from the communist fall that we were next - and that you can’t believe in your own propaganda - you can fool yourself and others for only so long - and after a while the future will catch up and fall out from under you and as we look at the fall of the union of soviet states and the experiment of communism we know its system was fatally flawed and it was too late to save it from itself - in hind sight at the time they realized they need to be more balanced and include more self initiated options of the individual to make a difference and to reap the rewards - but as we see now in russia they still haven’t learned their lesson as russia is becoming more like a totalitarian mis-stake - which never last but we also see our leaders never learn there job is to stay in power at all cost and war is the most efficient was of staying in power - i recently wrote that we are not selfish enough and that if we took selfishness to its end it would simply mean what i want for me i want for you so we can all live in peace and harmony with out fear - so we see the failed bail out of western the corporations which are the 20th and 21st century cathedrals of worship and the union of american states government presenting bailouts but is that not a form of communist solutions i ask myself in you - we already have examples in capitalism of communism in the form of the public sector of government where fire, police, military, sanitation workers are not subject to the daily fluctuations like we see in the private sector -

the union of soviet states had their wake up call years ago after realizing that bailing out broken systems and bailing out aparatchik cornies & phoneys was putting a Band-Aid on a dead person - we need to find a balance and call it by any other name we the people need to stop pretending we are zombies and we the people need to take back our future and we the people need to stop repeating the same mistakes over and over since the beginning of recorded time and we need to stop wars, violence, fear, greed, and going along to get along even though we know it’s wrong - and most of all we the people need to rethink and re-invent our selves and the flawed and failed system we keep hoping will save us but doesn’t we need to stop top down management by fear - we live in a global world of social communications and the our internet family nation needs to stand up for itself and the next time our leaders decide to have a war because that is what leaders do and have been doing since before forever - why haven’t we learned our lesson - that todays revolutionaries are often tomorrows tyrants too and we the people need to come together as individuals and next time they call a war nobody show up

we are faced with some interesting challenges and opportunities in the near future - are we going to survive ourselves or are we going to deteriorate into a self-consumed humanity that eats itself up in the process - the future not only wants to know the future is watching
be well

commentary: vitamin deficiency - response nytimes - News Keeps Getting Worse for Vitamins

vitamin deficiency–who protects us from those who say they are protecting us - this is amazing vitamin scandal story - who do we believe the vitamin pharmaceutical industrial military government media complex of global incompetent companies who keep feeding us their propaganda and their take this and leave the driving to us -

we are shocked when we find out we have ben betrayed by our protectors, government, food and drug administration etc - but then again as Saul Bellow says, we are shock resistant maybe the only thing that can touch us is poetry (art) - we are shocked when we hear things like the food and drug administration allowing hazardous food and things out of China and into our mouths and homes and FDA only recently opened up offices in China - but lest we forget who we are trusting to protect us - the Chinese don’t have a history of oversight like we like to believe we have and yet here in the west our western definition of over-sight often means we the people are blind-sighted and blind-sided - we have seen this idiotcracy in all aspects of government oversight that they are blind deaf and dumb to what they don’t want to hear and have a blind eye too - our present government of we the business first have done another excellent job of wearing the emperor’s new clothes and deceiving us all coming on top of the present economic meltdown - the point is we can’t trust what comes out of the mouths of people who keep telling us they are protecting us and who have agendas and protecting their position at we the peoples imposition and expense - but the real mea culpa belongs to the media for being weak and fearful and saying one thing and not reporting on things we the people need to know but are more afraid of unintended consequences of their own agenda which is not protecting the people as much as we would like to think - the vitamin story is something we wanted to believe in and for decades all the research which was often funded by the corporations themselves to get the desired results has been misleading us down the garden path - as Thomas Jefferson said “he would rather see a strong press rather then a strong government” - the future is watching and wondering too - geo geller

food for thought on reading The Social Reformer - philosophy of history

interesting how you take us on a voyage of science and art of history - when i believe as a documentary filmmaker that everybody has a point of view - and also in doing a documentary called - Who’s Wearing the Emperor’s New Clothes - if so many people believe in something how can it be wrong - exploring the media, propaganda, the power of fear and the fear of power the point in reference is everybody has their own truth as they see it - ie. the Palestinian people have their truth and the Israelis have theirs - to me truth is a convenient lie we want to believe in - or more to the point we all change the facts to fit our needs and history is a fiction of facts or a faction - we tend to believe because we want to desperately believe in something even if it is in our own propaganda - it is said that the hunter tells the his side of the story and the lion has his side which is often never told - so we only get half the story anyway the truth of the matter is that matters of truth are often seen as matters of fact but in fact they are often going along to get along even if its wrong - some food for thought - g-oh

hi jeff interesting point - i believe social media is a social sculpture that is learning how to walk and is like the frog in boiling water metaphor - put a frog in slow boiling water and it will boil to death put a frog in boiling water and it will jump out fast - the point in reference is that social media has an incredible potential to change the world and the way we inter-act and how we approach being “we” and communicate but its so subtle and encompassing that we don’t even know what we don’t know nor what it is or what is really happening too - one thought that percolates to the top is “god” we think we know what it/he/she/god is or isn’t and every body has their own interpretation - we have similar analogy with social media - so maybe instead of “is social media an industry” the question should be “is social media the new god” well that some food for the imagination - and i am sure the god of social media would have something to say if we could only find him and if he would stand up and reveal himself - anyway my point here is that its not technology that changes the world it’s the way people use it that revolutionized the future and that social media is unique in that it has no gods no leaders and most of all not driven by our traditional model of top down management by fear that we keep repeating since before forever and recorded time and why it just might save us from our leaders and ourselves too - so what will the future say about us i ask myself in you

commentary: anonymous sources - in response to ask ny times

my email response

as a documentary filmmaker working on a doc called Who’s
Wearing the Emperor’s New Clothes - if so many people
believe in something how can it be wrong - i also wonder
about the question of anonymous sources as a weapon of mass
deception and how easy it is to make up propaganda in the
name of anonymous sources -

through out history we have been repeating the same
anonymous sources weapons of mass deception to hide behind -
we have been having the same wars violence and fear since
before forever

we call this a democracy but maybe it’s becoming more and
more of an idiotcracy where the news spews out fear and has
become the views and is seen by many as the co-conspirators
with business and government in their war on truth justice
and the American way or is it a war on we the people - do
you, as the media think we are so naive that we the people
don’t know what is going on, you might think we are zombies
but actually we are pretending we are zombies and we all
know inside ourselves that the media, gov, business
and religion has its own agenda and that the owners of media
use the media for their own agenda

do you/i/we really think that media conglomerates aren’t
intimidated or intimidating propaganda machine - anonymous
sources are so easy to quote - the traditional media is has and
always will be the mistress to the king and queen business
and government - the media and religion are the mistress and
heaven forbid the thought and wash my mind out that the
owners of the media, government, business, religion all
share the power of fear and fear of power in common -
anonymous sources have their own propaganda points of view -
even though we often change the facts to fit our need give
us the information the facts as they occur and let us decide
it, is best case scenario - everybody has a point of view
but the news is not supposed to be the views but just the
facts and nothing but the facts so help us and let us decide
what to think don’t tell us what and how to think -

food for thought - the wake up call for traditional media is
you are losing audiences because of credibility issues and
we are tired of pretending we are zombies
lways will be the mistress to the king and queen business
and government - the media and religion are the mistress and
heaven forbid the thought and wash my mind out that the
owners of the media, government, business, religion all
share the power of fear and fear of power in common -

we are tired of pretending we are zombies

commentary: jeff pulver note on facebook - Avoid the Temptation to Join the Status Quo

in response to jeff pulver note on facebook

we are born with fearless passion as young children we are scientist born to be curious in awe with our big eyes curious about everything and nothing and everything in between - a fearless passion where everything is a journey adventure but as we get older we tend to be driven by fear not fearlessness and so we come to the end of the line end of life where many of us not only have joined the status-quo but forgot not only to live but how to live - food for thought - we are who we dream we are
g-oh

What happens now for Zimbabwe?

wake up people we are living in an idiotcracy - we need to stop pretending we are zombies and don’t know what is going on in Zimbabwe, many places in africa, around the world, the USofA are heading for melt down - our leaders of the world care only about staying in power at any cost. We the people are addicted to fear and afraid of not belonging so we go along to get along - whats going to happen in zimbabwe is predictable just like kenya, rwanda, darfur - more propaganda mixed with blood - gg
