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

NYC Council Votes, 29 to 22, to Extend Term Limits

below is my comment in nytimes article

so the question is who’s wearing the emperor’s new clothes - we are - “we the people” this smells like so much self interest and believing in their own propaganda - what do we expect for the foxes who are guarding the chicken koop - the reality is who protects us from those who say they are protecting us - we have to wake up and stop pretending we are zombies these politicians always tell us when its election time that they are for us “we the people” and these types of acts are only another nail in the coffin fo democracy which is more and more looking like an idiotcracy

commentary: on WSJ - PEGGY NOONAN - Palin’s Failin’ What is it she stands for?

my response to peggy noonan wsj article received this response so i put it up on my blog

i ask myself in you - what are people of the future going to say about us today

well needless to say you seemed to have nailed not only the mind set but the mindless set that goes along to get along - you made some impressive observations and i think anybody with a brain would have to think twice no matter what side of the fence or aisle the think they are on - but then again mark twain said it best to miss quote him -  if i was a fool and a politician - oh there i go repeating myself again - politician believe in their own propaganda - and we the people are the ones who are also wearing the emperor’s new clothes too - because we believe in their propaganda - the problem is we have been going along to get along so long that we have become or more like pretending we are zombies - but we all deep inside know better that some is not right - today political asylum is an insane asylum -

we live in an idiotcracy and what brilliant stroke of genius picked this woman out of the rat pack of running mates - who could imagine this woman, this absurdity being a heart beat away from the president in what use to be the dream of people around the world and what use to be the guiding light experiment of freedom loving people and country in the planet -

she might win the miss America-ah pageant but as you say she ain’t one who can think aloud with out a script and short snippets of cliches - and her working man’s joe six pack charm only goes so far but then again george w won over gore because he had charm - so maybe we are missing something -

and her interviews as you mentioned are like putting her in a padded cell a corral of trainers (handlers) who are the same ones who trained our fearless el presidente to answer questions from those who know she already knows the answers too -

in any case we are in trouble as a country and as a planet and we keep repeating the same mistakes the same wars the same violence the same fears since before forever and each time it gets more expensive - we need to re-invent oursleves and we keep on this revolving door of top down management by fear - what are people of the future going to say about us today

politics of distraction the war on reality

reality is like history a fiction of the facts and or more accurately called faction - but i digress the war on reality has been going on since before forever and its still going on and its getting worse and more expensive - look at all the wars and sophisticated military weapons that we send all over the world and then they turn them on our very own people - something wrong with this picture - anyway we are in the middle of manufactured chaos and greed that spiraled out of control and the latest bail out of the richest by we the people - has got to be a stretch of reality and the imagination who ever imagined it and who is going to bail us/me/you/we out -

hmmm oh… we (we the people) are the ones doing the rowing and the bailing and this idiotcracy of a democracy i mean media-ah-ocracy is all around us with media being the mistress and minister of propaganda for the government, big biz, religion - so where are the leaders of the future who are going to save the future and save us from ourselves are they going to be any different then the past (lets hope so but we were once the future hope too) - so often i ask my self in you what will people of the future say about us today? - it seems all our leaders of the world especially politician keep hammering their point of view, their propaganda and we the people are just so lost and confused and pretending that we are not too.. but we all know something is not right -  we are afraid to not belong - so we are going along to get along and i think we have to abandon reality and transparency and all these mirages and mixed up metaphors and spin doctors and word whores are just the language of the politics of distraction

maybe what we need to do just get back to being human to getting along because we have too and realize this top down management by fear is killing us - and all these so called capitalism, socialism, communism, theism, culuturalism are the isms of schism - keep us torn apart by division and fear -

we the people know what to do - politics has no conscience but we do and understand family, friends and working relationships with each other and the environment - as a an old italian organic farmer once told me - my grand kids play in the field i can’t poison them

we have been care-taker and care-giver since forever - we have to re-invent ourselves but the powers that be job is to stay in power at all cost and they know the power of poverty and fear and fear of power

we don’t need people who lead us astray and into war and to killing ourselves and each other - we need ourselves as individuals we can do a lot, we can make a difference, we can as individuals challenge the status-quo, ourselves and each other to be better - we the people can’t do/be any worse then people we have now - the politicians job is to tell us one thing and do another and with their all consuming self interest and power hungry top down mentality we have let the inmates of the asylum rule the world - and despite all this we deep inside ourselves know what we need - we need to just be we/you/me/us we need to do the next responsibility thing as one of my friends keeps telling me and whatever that means to you as long as it doesn’t impose on another - we have to act as if and what if and well i find myself in this revolving door every 4 years thinking what am i missing and what is this cycle really about and taking a step back and looking at the systemic problems that we seem to be constantly swimming in and what is real and what is manufactured and who gains and what is it about - this our fear of not belonging that controls and leads us to do the most unimaginable incredible things not only to other but to ourselves -

so i ask myself in you and wonder who gains from all this pain, suffering, war, violence, poverty - not we the people

we have been in this revolving door believing and addicted to our own propaganda long enough and yet we don’t know what else to do so we continue along the not so yellow brick road to where we don’t know but we are committed believing in this manufactured real-it-ty (chaos) while people around the world are stuck in reverse

i don’t know about you but its sad state of humanity when everything you were brought up to believe in is a mirage and nothing is what it appears to be and we keep changing the facts to fit our needs - we aren’t learning the lessons we need to teach - otherwise we wouldn’t be repeating the same mistakes - time to wake up and realize we are not only in a economic crisis but in a systemic crisis that has put us on the top of the endangered species list too

 don’t you just love it - i call it the politics of poverty - the poor have to bail out the rich - and the guy who ran one of the largest brooookerages is the guy who wanted 700 billion to play with no strings attached (3 page proposal) to bail out his cronies - the latest sweetened bailout is now 450 pages pure electioneering spin for the public soap opera - these guys in congress and big business and media are poor looooosers who want a bail out or else they will take the rest of us with them on their bumpy road to humpty dumpty meltdown land anyway - and just to refresh your memory these were the very same guys a few years ago who made it hard for the working folks to file for bankruptcy - there is more to this then meets the eye and why is this happening around election time i ask myself in you -  so who res-skews the rescueeeer

on the Politics of Poverty - there is a reason why there is so much poverty - “We the People” who make up this IdiotCracy/DemoCracy/Media-oh-Cracy on the backs of  the poor people the workers, the soldiers, the drones - we are like toilet paper - they use us up and throw us away - look at the people coming back from wars - the poor don’t want to be poor they not lazy they are some of the hardest workers around - they often work themselves to death and when i lived in brasil in 1992 people would work hard and at the end of the day would still not have made enough to feed their families - and with the price of this manufactured chaos of oil, food prices, banking meltdown its the poor around the world who feel it the most - this 700 billion buy out is also on the backs of the poor and the middle class if you haven’t figured out who the tax payers are - but the point is somebody benefits from poverty, war, violence, fear and its not “We the People” - it is said that the trade of kings was in war and propaganda - we have to stop pretending we are zombies and stop going along to get along -  and flap our mouths and wings and say what we know in our hearts - the power of one person is more then the power of none -

Thomas Jefferson knew very well that this was going to happen and wrote and spoke about it even on his death bed - he worried for us the children of the future

” We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable - Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse 1822 ”

“I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on steady advance.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1821

“We are bound, you, I, and every one to make common cause e even with error itself, to maintain the common right of freedom of conscience,” Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse, 1803

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
