Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë | The Human Predicament

Posted on March 9, 2012 by Rio

The main reason that classics are classics is because they delve deep into the human soul. They expose the human predicament.

I had postponed reading Wuthering Heights because I considered it a gloomy, dark tale. It is! The only sane characters in the book are the narrators. But as a superb classic (it has plot and prose that makes the book hard to put down, and even love after death) it shows  the scourge of humanity at work, a psychotic egomania controls most of the characters. 

Let me tell you, as far as vengeance is concerned, Heathcliff can make The Count of Monte Cristo look like a toddler. And Catherine is such a selfish, spoiled bitch that she betrays Heathcliff to keep her status, but intends to keep both men. Ah! the right recipe for tragedy, the ego at work; there is not a single character (except for Nelly, the main narrator and Earnshaw, who adopts Heathcliff) who has anybody but themselves in mind. To defend the book you can say that the characters are strong―such heights of passion in them . . . and such is life, isn’t it? Precisely, such is the predicament of humankind: as long as the ego holds the baton such is life, our dream becomes a nightmare. 

And the collective ego impels the human race to follow its dictums, its program—the matrix. Once that program is implemented it is quite easy for a few to control the rest as long as they know how the program works. When we lose our virtue we are easy prey for vipers. Be aware!

Unexpectedly, the book has a happy ending, for Catherine’s daughter (Cathy), and Hareton (who had been wronged and diminished by Heathcliff) excel to restore sanity to Wuthering Heights.

San Diego 9/11 Truth Movement

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Rio

The San Diego group for 9/11 truth is going strong. You can join at: HOME PAGE

They meet every second Sunday of the month:

Dwain Deets: Flight 93: A tale of two planes?

They also spread the truth by the USS Midway once a month.

“This is no ordinary band of street activists. San Diegans for 9/11 Truth includes an impressive group of experts who give one Sunday per month to freely share their collective knowledge on the subject. On hand were Dwain Deets, former NASA Chief of Aerospace Projects Director; Ret. Air Force Lt. Col. David Gapp, former crash site investigator; Ted Muga, former Naval aviator, retired Commander and retired Pan Am pilot; Jerry Bischoff, retired architect; and Ginger Gainer, retired American Airlines flight attendant and purser. Members of Veterans for Peace also provided support – including Vietnam and Iraq War vets.”

Senator Maria Cantwell and the AE9/11 Truth | Thrive Movement

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Rio

I just came across an interesting post at AE 9/11 Truth about Senator Maria Cantwell.  And I quote: “Despite acknowledging AE911Truth as experts, and sitting in jurisdiction over NIST,  Senator Cantwell has avoided taking any action on the explosive evidence.”

I do understand the position in which  Senator Cantwell finds herself. The 1% is definitely behind the controlled demolition that obviously brought the three buildings down, and the 1% is an immoral entity with great wealth and power. And they kill. They will kill  whoever will dare to expose them or interfere with their plans. Every president after JFK has heed their warning: “You interfere with our plans, you die.” Is it any wonder that Senator Caldwell is avoiding taking action?

Let’s face it, we the people have to take responsibility for changing the course of events; the government does not work for us anymore; elections are a sham. We the people have to occupy the country and issue the arrest warrants. Our government will not do it; our government is either afraid or has been bought.

It is time to occupy. It is time to occupy in mass, occupy and boycott. Then, when they show their fangs, their mask will fall off; they will be exposed for what they are.

New Sources of Energy are Available!

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Rio

New energy sources are available, but the 1% blocks them.

“The New Energy Movement acts to promote the rapid widespread deployment of advanced, clean, and sustainable energy sources across our imperiled planet. This transformation in the way our civilization generates and uses energy provides the best physical means to protect the biosphere, remediate ecological damage, and enhance the health and well-being of the global human family.

The New Energy Movement’s major priority is to educate the public, policymakers, and investors about the need to support research, development, and use of zero-point energy, magnetic generators, advanced hydrogen processes, and other little-known powerful energy technologies now emerging from inventors and scientists all over the world. . .” http://www.newenergymovement.org/

Owl | Travel

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Rio

I “saw” an owl yesterday. I guess I am traveling soon. It was a grand owl with bluish-green feathers, bright—a spirit- owl.  There was a bright sky too, a sunny day.

I do need to do a book tour . . . soon!

The Simple Facts | 9/11 | Why the Official Story can’t Possibly be True

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Rio
It never ceases to amaze me that some groups are still trying to convince us that the events of 9/11 were a terrorist attack. It is tantamount to me, after hiding the logos, taking you to the parking lot outside and telling you that my Chevy Cavalier is a BMW. You will refuse to believe me, and I would proceed to explain that the car has wheels, doors, a trunk and a motor, therefore; it is a BMW. Would you be convinced?
      By the same token, regardless of what anybody might tell me, buildings don’t collapse in free fall acceleration due to fires or plane impact; it is impossible. Fires or planes can’t destroy all the supporting columns at the same time to produce such a fall. Only controlled demolition can do that. And what happened to the columns anyway? Disappeared! No! Controlled demolition! WTC 7 wasn’t even hit by an airplane.
      Small fragments of bone, still being found in rooftops of adjacent buildings, are being used to identify the victims. How did those bones got blasted to pieces smaller than an inch? The fire? Impossible! Controlled Demolition!
      And how did they travel so far? The wind? Again, impossible! Explosions! I saw, in one of the videos, an object as big or bigger than a door, flying out of one of the main towers like a speeding bullet. Dozens of people heard the explosions.
      WTC 7 wasn’t hit by a plane and its fires were small, and it still went down in free fall acceleration. Why?
Would you please believe that my Chevy Cavalier is a BMW?
      I could say more but I recommend you to read the book: 9/11: The Simple facts, Why the Official Story Can’t Possibly be True. It will tell you all you need to know to realize that 9/11 was an inside job. You can also check:  AE 9/11 Truth
      And by the way, between you and me, my car is not a BMW, is a Chevy Cavalier. Shhhh.

A Message for the Occupy Movement . . . Everywhere!

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Rio

It occurred to me recently that reform is impossible with the people we have elected; obviously our government works for the 1%. One of the best candidates we have for president is Buddy Roemer (http://buddyroemer.com), but the system is so corrupt that they don’t allow him in the debates with one pretext or another; besides, the elections could be rigged. 

Therefore, I propose organizing a massive walk to Washington to ask for Obama’s  resignation. We elected him to work for us and instead he is working for the corporate oligarchy; it is our constitutional right to replace him at any time. They did it in Egypt. We can do it here!

We choose a date and depart from New York, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego to meet in Washington DC at another set date (we can use vehicles part of the way if necessary). By the time we get there, enlisting occupiers along the way, we should number on the thousands. And we occupy until we install a new president and replace the Federal Reserve System (a banking cartel that stole our government in 1913 – it is unconstitutional) See: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal … Reserve, by G Edward Grifffin.

It is paramount to do this because there is overwhelming evidence that 9/11 was an inside job (AE 9/11 Truth ) which means that our political system is so corrupt that it would be impossible to start our new country without cleaning house and bringing the guilty to justice. No system can exist long without justice . . . justice for all!

Besides, without a clean-up, an honest president would be thrown into a nest of vipers and his chances to survive would be slim. If you have any doubt that JFK was assassinated by the 1%, I suggest reading: JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters By James Douglass.

Native Americans should be invited to participate in this march as they have been immorally ignored and marginalized for too long. It is time for them to claim their right place in our society. We can learn much from their culture.

And we must keep in mind that the reason the 1% is in power is the apathy and lack of caring of the 99%. When we loose our virtue we are easy prey for vipers. It is a must to realize that everything is interconnected and we are all part of a Whole, and when we help others we help ourselves. What would the world be like if when we get up in the morning our first thought would be to help others. . . do unto others what is best for them?

That said, for the occupy movement failure is not an option, for if the movement fails the future is bleak indeed; what the corporate oligarchy is doing is not only serious, it is e v i l. We live under an ominous cloud at the moment.

Let’s get it done!

Bed Bugs | Federal Reserve | Occupy Movement

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Rio

Several months ago I was invaded by bed bugs.

Now, these little vampires are a real pest and extremely resilient, and I live on a small camper. That meant that I couldn’t spray insecticide in many of their hiding places due to the wiring  and other stuff that could be damaged. I contacted Orkin and they were helpless as far as vehicles were concerned. I was in a bind.

Then I found http://www.bed-bug.net, Retail-Locations.html and they recommended fossil shell dust. Forget Dorkin or Orkin or what you may call them; bed-bug.net know their stuff. Spraying that fossil dust around my sleeping quarters, I was rid of  bed bugs in about a week and a half, after two months of relentless guerrilla warfare.

The fossil dust doesn’t kill them instantly; it breaks through their shell, they dehydrate in a few hours, and die. For instant death you can get one of their sprays (bed bug patrol).

Required reading: A Second look at the Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin

Just like bed bugs, the Feds are parasites who need their victims for their survival, that is their main weakness. They suck our blood, so they need us . . . and secrecy. Once we know who they are and where they are, they are vulnerable. In the case of bed bugs, as they crawled over the fossil dust to get to me they were doomed. 

In the case of the Federal Reserve, spreading Fossil Shell Dust will not work because it is harmless to humans or “human vampires.” To combat the Federal Reserve we spread the word. When most people come to realize the evil lurking behind A Central Bank’s Scheme they will refrain from doing business with them (The big banks, the banking cartel that forms the Federal Reserve), and that will be their doom. It is almost as simple as killing bed bugs: do your home work, spread the word and move your money to a local bank or a credit union. Let’s fix our economy now. http://bigmethod.com/bmp/54/62/10052011.html 

In 2012 one of the buildings to be occupied permanently, or at least relentlessly, should be the Federal Reserve. Moving our money, however, is paramount. Of course, we can always look the other way, but that will be helping them and it would mean our doom; eventually, we always reap what we sow.
