Lying VS Laying | Grammar Lesson

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Rio

The website below is the brain child of Rich Turner, above. 

I thought I had the lay of the land with lie and lay, but a while ago I was stuck in a particular sentence and couldn’t figure out what was correct: lying or laying. The dictionary and grammar books were not quite clarifying the matter. So I went to google search and found an enlightening sentence: “If you see something lying on the ground, it is just resting there; if you see something laying on the ground, it must be doing something else, such as laying eggs.” Bingo! Laying requires an action. Lying does not. As soon as I lay the book on the table, it is lying on the table.  

Has everyone got this laid? Oops! Anyway here is the link for more on lie, lay, lain and laid: Word and Usage FAQs

The Christ chasing the usurers out

The presidential candidates are giving you a good show. They know that our economy is not recovering until we get rid of them, so they have to put on a good show. Get the facts here: A Central Bank’s Scheme 

” The film presents an option for a different kind of monetary policy for the United States of America.”

9/11 Anniversary | In Memory

Posted on September 10, 2011 by Rio

It is the tenth anniversary of 9/11. The investigation performed by National Institute of Standards and Technology was a travesty of justice.

“After 10 years, literally millions of lives have been destroyed in the wars and occupations that have also bankrupted our nation and have been based solely on the U.S. government’s untenable theory of the conspiracy of September 11, 2001. It is time for the American people to come together as a whole and demand an actual criminal investigation into one of the greatest and most costly crimes in U.S. history. We owe it to our dead, our sick and our dying, and we owe it to ourselves and to our children’s future. Investigate 9/11 now!”— AE 9/11 Truth

“Deep, positive changes could begin to reshape our world as a result of a real 9/11 investigation that accounts for the abundant physical and forensic evidence. We may not reach that tipping point with this opportunity, but we do know that it will come, as sure as the dawn, and we will continue to do all we can to bring it about.” Also see: RememberBuilding7.org

George Orwell | 1984 | Doublethink

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Rio

1984 is here at last

I subscribe to a few blogs of really nice people; a lady comes to mind. She is a writer, which is one of the reasons I subscribed to her blog.  Sometimes I tweet her posts because they have stories I consider worth reading, human interest stories. In every way I can think of she is fine lady; she very much represents the average American citizen. 

But if I ever make a comment on her posts, pertinent to the post but regarding the moral lacking in our government (for instance AE 9/11 Truth), she will completely ignore it, as if our government couldn’t do wrong. She refuses to see it. Any other comment she will respond to. Isn’t that scary; all these “nice” people are helping ruthless tyrants and assassins. 1984 is late but it is here. 

George Orwell coined the word doublethink: “The acceptance of contrary beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrination.” The indoctrination have been so effective that people will refuse to believe evidence right in front of their very eyes; they refuse to believe that they are being deceived. And worse they are incapable of doing anything about it. Our “shadow” government has done such a great job.

Big Brother is watching, please welcome 1984. It is late but it is here.  Brace yourselves!

What to do:

  • Don’t do business with the mega banks (Citibank, Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo etcetera) that is doing business with the enemy. Too big to fail means they are above the law; nobody should be above the law. They are getting away with murder. Stay away from these: tapeworm twenty
  • Don’t buy “made in China (or somewhere else)” stuff. It comes from sweat shops; you are supporting corporate gangsters when you do. If you are pressed for cash get your clothing at the thrift store, so you don’t encourage the clothing giants and support small business. Go to American Apparel.
  • Don’t join the army. You are fighting for the corporations that comprise the military industrial complex (they are making money on war, blood money) not for democracy. If we bring our troops home the crisis ends.
  • Buy an electric car. The oil companies are a great part of the problem.
  • Stay away from the mainstream media; it’s misleading. 
  • Do your homework, so you can understand what is going on, and accept your own responsibility in the matter. Your inaction will keep the tyrants in power and they are extremely dangerous.
