Taking a look at my complete blog stats from the least viewed end, I decided to highlight here a few older posts which didn’t get the clicks which some of my more popular posts have, yet nonetheless provide interesting, important or otherwise worthy links/information. I’ll divide this post into rough topics and descriptions and you can see whether you think any of them merit a visit.
The Panopticon Singularity - a link/exerpt of an important article on how surveillance technology has developed and is developing towards a total surveillance society in the developed world with estimated dates for the technologies described to be fully operational. You can visit the article itself directly via this link.
Google street view can provide alibis if necessary - using shadows, newspaper headlines and Google street view to establish when who was where. True, it’s fairly uncommon to be able to do so now, but I suspect that won’t always be the case.
on Sibel Edmonds (find out all you can about her- the most gagged person in US history according to the ACLU and then pass it on, b/c the media won’t and it’s important)
Dallas Morning News breaks US MSM silence on Sibel Edmonds (only 9 blog views on a story I sumitted to digg which has gotten 1749 diggs so far). Sure it’s old news to some now, but it’s still news to most due to the continuing US MSM blackout on her recent revelations. Spread it around and digg it up some more.
Despite the impression which this brand new post might give, this blog isn’t really intended to be about “naked YouTube where I can her boobs”. So, I’ll provide some helpful hints and clues to the confused people who visit this blog who aren’t really looking for blog posts, links and videos about things like politics, activism, sustainability, solutions, privacy issues, etc. I’m fairly sure that whoever arrived here using those search words above in a string a couple of days ago didn’t find what they were looking for here.
But, just in case you come back again anyway (or others do) here is a clue. If you are not 18 years old, wait until you are 18 years old. Then, if you don’t already have an account on YouTube, you can create one. I suggest you read their privacy and TOS agreements and perhaps some of my blog posts here (or elsewhere) on privacy, datamining, etc. before you proceed. Okay, now if you still want to proceed, then search YouTube for what you are looking for…
Meanwhile, those of you who continue to come here looking for the lyrics to one or more songs with the title “We Can Change The World”, I’m a bit more sympathetic, so I’ll help you out a bit more.
The Graham Nash song- you want something like this link.
Though your brother’s bound and gagged
And they’ve chained him to a chair
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Just to sing
In a land that’s known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won’t you plaese come to Chicago
For the help we can bring
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It’s dying – to get better
Politicians sit yourself down,
There’s nothing for you here
Won’t you please come to Chicago
For a ride
Don’t ask Jack to help you
Cause he’ll turn the other ear
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other side
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It’s dying – if you believe in justice
It’s dying – and if you believe in freedom
It’s dying – let a man live it’s own life
It’s dying – rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Show your face
From the bottom to the ocean
To the mountains of the moon
Won’t you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It’s dying – if you believe in justice
It’s dying – and if you believe in freedom
It’s dying – let a man live it’s own life
It’s dying – rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
We can change the world
For The Eggmen song, you want something like this link.
We Can Change The World
Everywhere the wind blows, you can see me rustlin’ like the leaves
Everywhere the sky flows, you might see me climbin’ with the trees
Everywhere the sun will shine, you will find me dancin’ with the breeze
Is there anybody out there who doesn’t know we’re all a part of this?
Children in the playground, lilting laughter, searing stardust eyes
Old man in the courtyard, wipes away the tears he never cried
People in a daydream wonder why they live this life of lies
It’s the same old story but in this song we sing a song of life
(3x) We can change the world
But it’s up to you, no more sinner-man blues
People running crying for help for so many years
Step inside their footprints and realize their fears
Big government sitting with their buttons posed
Just look at them glow, do you think they know
We’re all a part of this ocean
Ten thousand people are happy, another million or so are so blue
Another billion or more are just sorry and all the rest are untrue
Caesar said I’ll save your money for a rainy day
Jesus said can’t take it with you to the grave
Jesus said please don’t you wake me from my bed
King Herod said well then I’ll just have to take your brother’s head
I was driving in my car, going nowhere, going nowhere fast
Staring through an old fruit jar, my mojo risin’, but I’m runnin’ out of gas
You can’t believe in the things you read, just listen children, listen children
It’s all a stingy little world of greed with vagrant wandering vagabonds against the wall
So wrap this dead fish in a funny paper, leave it in the doorjamb down the hall
If I said that I would see you later, I was lyin’, I will never even call
Please don’t tell me what’s on your mind, no I’ll go first and I’ll be kind
It’s the same old story of virgin conquest, misery, stress and strife
Grab this message by your money maker, I’m comin’ down fast
but don’t let me break you
Cause this is the time to realize that the world that’s out there still is deep inside
But it’s so hard to notice this when their bliss is burning freedom
And I try so hard to resist my blood lust fist, just give me a reason
We can change the world….
If there are other songs currently entitled “We Can Change The World”, I’m not aware of them. Call up the radio station (or whatever) and ask who the artist is and the title of the song. Or put a memorable phrase or two which you can recall exactly from the song within quotes. Good luck.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot- “Sibel Can“. Putting quotes around things is always helpful in searches. Otherwise, you find and hit blogs about “Sibel Edmonds” instead. Which I don’t mind, personally, but you may find that it saves you a bit of time and effort in searching.
I’ve decided to create a new category for this blog- File 13- which will contain various things. A few examples of things which may end up in this category might be-
1.) things I think are interesting or worth a link for some reason but I don’t really see how they fit in within the larger context of the informative/activism/solutions type orientations of this blog.
2.) Things which may fit in in some way, but don’t necessarily merit a blog post all to themselves.
3.) a random escape valve outlet for thoughts, ideas, rants, whatever.
So, despite the implications of the category’s name don’t dismiss it out of hand. Also, I’ll be posting other relevant tags and categories specific to the individual posts within this category.
I recently found out about a word- enantiodromia- which when I looked up the definition reminded me of another word- widdershins. So I looked them both up together. One result which I found was this one, which I’ll quote from:
In his 1989 book Crazy English (Pocket Books, ISBN 0-671-68907-X), Richard Lederer calls such words and phrases “contronyms” and lists 41. This phenomenon has been a curiosity to users of language for
as long as there has been language and has many names
addad (Arabic) antilogy antiphrasis auto-antonymy didh (Arabic) enantiodromia (Greek) enantiosemy (Greek) enantiosis (Greek) gegensinn (German) Janus words l’shon hefech (Hebrew) mirror words oysterisms polarity self-antonymy turncoat words
in this case, enantiodromia basically can refer to words which come to mean their opposite over the course of time. Of course, widdershins can mean either clockwise or counterclockwise depending where and when on the planet Earth one happens to be at a particular moment. Residing at or near the Equator over the course of a few seasons, one can observe the word widdershins coming to mean its opposite over the course of time. Given this, I would suggest another possible name for words which come to mean their own opposite over time would be widdershins.
Of course, that would mean that widdershins would be an autological word describing a class of words which mean the opposite of themselves. Moving up a level, widdershins could then replace both autological and heterological, since it is a good example of an autological word and also means the opposite of itself. Maybe. Who shaves the barber?
Are you more right brained, left brained or ambicerebral? Try this test… can you get her to swing back and forth like a pendulum? How about so it appears she is facing away from you while swinging back and forth like a pendulum?
Whoever “they” are, they have committed crimes against peace, humanity and the entire ecosphere to stuff themselves while the planet starves. They would incinerate you and your whole town alive as easily as they would fart through silk. Ask the citizens of Fallujah. So, why not help them out by yammering about “lower taxes,” “less government” and their favorite: “free-market competition?” They’re bringing an A-bomb to an axe fight, so naturally they think “competition” is swell. What’s in your wallet?
“Voting” and “elections” are like the steering wheel on Maggie Simpson’s car seat. So what… armed rebellion? “They” already thought of that, kid, and if you think “they” are “the government,” you still don’t get it and neither does Ron Paul. We have to invent a new way to dodge the psychopaths, and it isn’t “voting” for Ron Paul or even Dennis Kucinich, god-love-‘im. Paul/ Kucinich each speak of reform, but the “political system” (a collective, by the way) isn’t broken… it’s gone. You’re “voting” for the Prom Queen. Deal with it. Otherwise, where do we go but nowhere?
Since deregulation and reducing oversight have worked out so well, Dr. Paul says you can take care of yourself and you don’t need any commie-pinko welfare-nanny-state collectivism to go head-on with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. So go for it, young “libertarian.” Your Ayn-Rand Objective is to draw a “for us or against us” line in the sand between individualism and collectivism. It has to be either-or, doesn’t it, so toss away that other oar and row in circles. So go ahead and “create your own reality.” While you’re at it, you may as well drive a stake through your own heart.
So, yeah. Zeitgeist what can we do? Fear or Love or something else entirely (like apathy maybe)? What’s it going to be?
Will it be dog eat dog when TSHTF (which everyone seems to be predicting it will)? Or will you perhaps choose to entertain the possibility that you might have some control over how the story of your life turns out? Will you write a happily ever after ending despite not being able to see exactly how you will get there from here? Or are you all individually too hunkered down in the bunker of your individual mind already? Dick Cheney et al. have bigger bunkers than my blog readers, I can pretty much guarantee ya that.
Fear or Love or…
Do you create your reality? Not REALITY, that would be the collective, but a large part of what you personally experience and how you choose respond/react to those experiences.
Some theories of Quantum Physics point towards that.
What, at root, was the difference between Bohr and Einstein? Bohr’s view has been well summarized by the Princeton physicist John Wheeler: ‘no elementary phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon’. Wheeler illustrated what he meant by recounting a dinner party he once attended which degenerated into a game of twenty questions. The aim of the game was to identify an object, selected by the other guests, through a series of 20 ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers to questions posed. Wheeler’s fellow diners obviously knew him well enough not to think of anything at all, and instead decided simply to give answers consistent with those previously given. At the end of his series of questions, Wheeler believed that they had chosen ‘cloud’.Wheeler argues that ‘in the game, no word is a word until that word is promoted to reality by the choice of questions asked and answers given’. This is the central point for Wheeler; but he also acknowledges the part played by the other guests. If they had responded differently, he would not have come up with ‘cloud’. He believes his role in the game was the same as the role of the experimenter with electrons. Such an observer, Wheeler maintains, has a ’substantial influence on what will happen to the electron by the choice of experiments he will do on it, “questions he will put to nature”.’ But the experimenter also knows that ‘there is a certain unpredictability about what any given one of his measurements will disclose, about what “answers nature will give”.’
Wheeler believes that it is only within the confines of a particular experimental situation that reality, phenomenal reality, can be specified. Moreover, he takes this belief to its logical conclusion: ‘There is a sense in which what the observer will do in the future defines what happens in the past – even in a past so remote that life did not exist, and shows even more, that observership is a prerequisite for any meaningful version of reality.’ What Wheeler means is that the observer literally creates the universe by his observations.

What if all your “life” has been spent within some virtual reality program which we have been conditioned to believe is REALITY. How would you be able to tell the difference?
Ready to envision something new yet?
It’s like you’re dreaming and someone is talking to you and they make a point to you about how the table in front of you both is actually mostly empty space (inside the molecules). They rap their knuckles on the table and comment- “looks and sounds solid, doesn’t it?” You nod. Then you wake up. Where’s the table? It’s in your mind. Wake up.
If you don’t like the table, then make a new one. Or hit the snooze button and stay asleep for awhile longer. While the alarm clock continues to tell you it’s time to wake up.
Reprogram Armageddon-
I’ve heard that the only way a player can win as a certain “side” while playing one of the Left Behind video games is by rewriting the program. Something to consider. Don’t like the way your “Choose Your Own Adventure” is headed? Write a new page and insert it… or…
One book, Inside UFO 54-40, revolved around the search for a paradise that no one can actively reach; one of the pages in the book describes the player finding the paradise and living happily ever after, although none of the choices in the book led to that page. The ending could only be found by disregarding the rules and going through the book at random. Upon finding the ending, the reader is congratulated for realizing how to find paradise.
Now I can’t use my search engine of choice, instead getting a generic domain spam site when I go there. My best hope is that it is a fixable malicious hack and will return soon. My second best hope is that I’ll get word back that I can still search using it, bu instead at URL xyz..whatever. I seem to recall there being an allsearch or somesuch. It somehow didn’t seem as good. But, I’d settle for that right now. I won’t even discuss my fear ATM
