Favorite remarks from site user:

"Good job on keeping things cool and well spoken. Your website exhibits quite a bit of control - your adjectives could include evil bastards every now and again without being extreme."

and, regarding a piece I wrote for another purpose called

"The Privilege & Honor of Serving A Commitment"

"...statement is right on and could have been written by me, I have always felt this passionately about justice and equality! The sentiment expressed there is the only viable goal for humanity I think.

I'm going to do one more explanation about me... then I may shut down this site and just work on the books and other necessary materials. First, I don't know who at the FEC decided to allow for salaries.. I didagree with what it allows for salary leveles.. nonetheless, we've made a joke at my house that it's a sign George wants me to run. :} Whatever empowers. I could even pay the rest of my taxes :}

This morning, after thinking about the protesters, I wrote what I thought was a pretty clever piece defending CNN. It's funny, all this time, reporters have been concerned about associating with me, and at the same time, they don't get that I worry about who I associate with. The people my site appeals to don't trust mainstream.

I started this site with the focus on boycotting MSNBC, and people were really eager about it... someone to take it out on... in most ways, I liked MSNBC, but they used their skills in a completely inobjective manner to skew the information. Like I always say, I don't demand that everyone agree with me. I just look for people who are willing to be fair.

When I work my own schedule, I typically get up around 10 or 11, and go to bed around 4 or 5 am. This morning, I watched Paula and the crew... I had noticed their slight sway to the right before, but that was cool, because they still presented all the facts for people to decide for themselves. This morning, however, was propaganda, pure and simple. I know the difference, so even in your own minds, it wouldn't work to try to rationalize it.

I am no fan of Saddam Hussein. I am no fan of the Saudis. I'm just not against them. I believe there are ways to work things out. Like with the Saudis, if our conduct toward them had been honorable and non-coercive over the years, they would not be taking the actions they've been taking. Of course most of Al Qaeda is Saudi... it was the root of Bin Laden. If we have some direct attacks or support from the Saudi's of terrorism, by all means, it should stop or we should break off relations or just be satisfied with buying oil. I don' trequire my grocery store to agree with my politics, either.

But what's really going oon is the demonization of Arabs. I reject it. I will not support people who promote that. Facts are one thing, purposeful inflammatory remarks to generate support for war is unacceptable. Remember, I'm not categorically against war. I'm against bigotry. And I don't care what your ratings are.

When I started this site, it was fairly subversive compared to what most people think they could get away with. We changed that, but that's how it was when I started. I was afraid for my life, and things happened that warranted that concern. But that has changed too. I don't even think my phones are tapped anymore.

Like I told Rumsfeld: Idid what I needed to do to get their attention. I had my moment, and I firmly believe I made a difference. From that point of view, I accomplished a primary goal. And my apologies to James Woolsey:} I was tough on him.

I did not intentionally set out to use anyone, gain favors... none of that.I was seeking truth, and people who could be trusted. I viewed what I am doing as part of a loosely knit team. And if I offended anyone with my shameless, sometimes desperate attempts to do everything I could possibly do to accomplish a goal, oh well. I guarantee you though, if we were in a war on the battlefield, you'd want me there covering your back. Just as there are a number of people who say they're coming to my house in case of bio-attack and such.. because I know what to do. And I'm not all that worried about looking good.

I clearly have a different commitment in today's conditions than you. I really love working in partnership. I try to trust what otheres are doing, as if they have more experience and wisdom than me. But I don't have to have other people's support or approval. It's more fun. But it's not required.

I have no clue what you think of me. Except to the extent of what I know could be accomplished if anyone in this world was trying to work together on common causes that actually break through and make a difference. What I know is we can't get things in order without treating the disease. I'm going to work on the disease. I don't know what you all are going to work on. All I know is that if I have to buy a horse and beg on street corners to have the opportunity to speak the truth, then that's what I'll do. I know how to do all that too. But I love the canoe commercial.

But, no matter what, I will not support propaganda. And excuse my religion, but if you had read your Bible like I have been lately, you would know without much doubt at all that we're on the 4th seal in this particular historical repetition, and it won't be much longer til there's no turning back. I just hope it doesn't go all the way. We have a choice. If you can't find it in the Bible yourself, I'll be putting out a study guide n a few weeks for the people I'll be teaching. The course will not be about the end of the world. Just the facts.

Everything, including certain leading Democratic contenders represent logical progressions of prophecy. Including someone else taking over, and doing even worse things in the name of humanity. Because noone is stepping out of the paradigm. Think of us as being stuck in one of those endless time loops on Star Trek,and what they did to break the loop.. That's what we have to do. If you study the past in order to see the future, then you can also see the past to see the resolution. It's all there. Still in the paradigm, but quite capable.

As I said another way, it's always nice to be in the presence of people who treat you with respect. And I have no clue what ya'll think of me. I certainly am not the starstruck type, and I'm not worried about making a fool of myself to accomplish a greater goal. Given the way people interact, that's probably what I'll need to do, and what would be the very thing that would give me the possibility of winning. And I have lots of people who support me. And I have backers who sit in on some of those "we're the richest people in the world and we're going to decide the fate of the world" meetings that occur from time to time. The ones news people are given access to in return for their silence.

What I perceive is that I'm viewed as something of a focus group... but not worth much else. At this point, because I feel like I'm working with people who'll sell me out or turn their backs on me in a flash, I'm not too keen on the idea of giving blind trust to people who don't understand unity.

I understand the constraints of professional broadcasting. I would never say many of the things on air as I do on this site. I was working with a particular demographic that wanted a leader willing to speak out on their behalf (because they were too scared too). That's why anarchists like me. Not because I agree with them, but because I'm willing to speak for what's right and fair on any subject. Any subject. Some of the weird stuff I put on this site is done so that when I announce bext year, I'll be giving people fodder on some untocuhable subjects that will not only free-up the discussions in this country, as well as make other people vulnerable should they dare to confront me. And I don't even mind saying it publicly, because, as I'll say, I'm honest enough to be honest about.it. Since I'm not counting on mass media, nobody will come after me until just before the conventions. I'm one hell of a promoter. And I motivate and inspire people with transformational thinking and logic all day long. It's what I do best.

So here's the bottom line: this site's reputation is for 2 things: presenting news in a format that reveals patterens, in a more or less objective way. and 2nd, my personal commentaries, in which I reserve the right to say anything I want. Incidentally, I thought my number would go down after the elections... they're going up. Should tell you something.

I'm a player. And I'm a true believer. Feel free to make up your own minds about me. If I don't become President, I will become a Senator in the next Wa election. Remember, I believe everything is possible. And I'm crazy enough to believe I have God on my side. I really do.

By now, you know I'm a Democrat, but conservative in many ways. This website is no longer considered subversive because other people have received permission to go farther, so now I get to concentrate on analysis and policy. And, to make it all better, a number of people who I share For the Love of the World with say they're having great personal breakthroughs. Even in the first drafts. And no, I don't think it's a masterpiece. As far as I can tell, everything's setting up for success.

I'll be honest. I truly believe I'm owed some apologies every bit as much as I owe a few... if I haven't already delivered them, and I believe I have. That's the kind of person I am. Ever heard of Cyber Cafe's and cell phones? Remember email. Nonetheless, one day, like I say, I'll chew a few people out and get on with business. But I won't forget. I see the ad... and think... what exactly is it I'm supposed to trust? What should I reach out for? Deception? Expediency?

I'm no brown nose, and I don't like brown noses. I didn't set ut to make enemies in doing all this, but I don't mind if I do. You're either part of the problem or the solution. My dad's favorite: lead, follow or get out of the way. And all the people who thought I was crazy? They are starving for info now. That's the lesson of Mark 3:22 thru 4:29 I trusted that. It was correct. That's my advisor doing his work. That's what I believe in.

I can listen to broadcasters and people in general all day long... I can see through their words and into their intents and more... One of the games I used to play with women is to observe them for 5 minutes, and then tell them a general psychological profile of themselves, as well as their attitudes and opinions. Got a lot of dates that way. And it wasn't about reading their minds.

I don't claim to be in perfect form on any skills right now... But I think I'm beginning to get past pretty good... I apply and develop skills as needed.. and I will.

All of this was to say this: if you were dealing with a regular person, I'd probably be writhing in joy just to get noticed. But I'm not one of those star struck people. Nor do I claim to be or want to be orthodox. And if you can't deal with that, I really don't care. I'll have just as much indifference to you as you show you me. But that's the condition of the world, isn't it? classism. And it isn't about money. It's about everything that divides us in the name of survival.. or whatever name you give it.

I'm not a wealthy person, but I could be if I wanted to be. I just value other things more. And I don't expect anyone to adopt my attitudes or the paths I've chosen to learn what I wanted and needed to learn.. But I don't view myself as beneath or above anyone... I just refuse to be treated as a lesser...

But when it comes to referring people to news.. I won't support propaganda.. and I won't lend my name to it. And I will go after those shows and stations that do propaganda. I'm talking about people who claim they are speaking news... That's why I went after MSNBC. I actually respect them for making the adjustments they made, whether it was because of my site or not.

I know I've alienated a number of people.. believe it or not, alienation can be a tool of transformation. I've coached people.. sometimes for days.. and at the breakthrough point, they throw books at me, water, you name it.. whatever's handy. And I just sit there and let them do it, not liking it, but understanding, because I know they only do it in the struggle to surrender. But the thing is, there's 2 way communication going on, and a commitment to break through. That's why it works. I don't always, but I can get in people's faces in gentle or very tough ways... whatever will get the job done.

So, getting to the bottom line, understand, I will not support propaganda. I'm glad to have seen the bulk of the day was objective. But remember, I got protesters about you before you did. I'll stand for you, right or wrong, but not if you intentionally go off track and participate in inflammatory detrimental practices. And for unwanted readers, I promote what I want, without compensation or influence. I need to see a canoe to know you understand this communication. And I won't endorse another thing unless I do. I know you guys are big.. I don't care. Principles are important to me. That's the only reason I've bene knocking myself out ot do what I've bene doing. If you can't respect and understand that, then we really have nothing in common.

I'm going to watch tomorrow morning... if the same thing occurs, I won't be able to support that program anymore. I'm not trying to control, I'm trying to come to an understanding. I can see haing having alot of fun doing good in the world with certain associations.. I won't do that with people I can't trust. I've benen ripped off and screwed too many times by that one.

Capiche?

PS Things do get around the internet... oh well. I didn't select this forum for this

11/26 - The most trusted are often the most deceptive, at least that's my experience. Like I said, I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me anything. Except you do. But you won't because you're too important. Serfs are people too.

11/25/2002 - Todd Rundgren: Once burned, twice removed.

Insanity is believing that peole who benefit so much from the status quo would actually want to change it.

Uncommon wisdom is accepting that which you hoped you would never have to believe.

4:30 pm Mark 3:22 thru 4:29 explains the protesters. :} Don't worry, they'll hear it, run and flee, and return to the sower of seeds :} Don't get sucked into it. It's all just another manifestation of what I wrote below. Those poll questions: be careful of what you generate, or speak into existence.

There's something I just can't seem to ignore... did you notice that in the discussions today, they talked about George Bush in terms of use of power, and with great deal of respect for authority, and a sort of aire about them like "of course we're going to war" in order to generate thepublic perception of inevitability thereby causing an attitude of public acceptance... it's straight out of Goering... but when talking about Gore, or any political opponent, including Canada and Germany, there's always a dissection of motives and strategies in order to cause an aura of confusion and lack of focus... anything to mis-direct the conversation from the issues. And to diminish the stature and expertise of the person they're doing it to. This can either be done in return, or, nullified. This is where watching tapes of what's her name Coulter would be very useful. She doesn't execute it well, but the structure of her responses and the way she mis-directs is textbook... absolute textbook... and you have to give up being polite about people butting in... say what they're doing on the air... expose the tactic... that's what they do. That's what you need to do. We know that "extreme discussion" causes extreme reaction... what extreme discussion can you cause generate that nullifies the verbal assaults?

What worked about Costner in the Postman was in the thing Holn says at the end of the movie when he and the Postman were about to fight one and one for leadership of the clan of the circle of 8. Holn said, "You can't win because you have nothing to fight for". What empowers you to do what is required, to be at your best, is determined by your estimation of the threat you face. In a "business as usual" environment, what's occurring on the airwaves is entertainment. The news is good, but limited by formatics and such... just as the number of my webcasts is better less often because... like the Repubs... I am trying to communicate how to recognize the tactics and trends... and web traffic turns over slower... and people are looking for real answers, the ability to distinguish trends from the headlines and public facades.

But it has to relate to people's lives... not poll results and statistics... what made Perot's charts effective is the clear demonstration of trends. Remember, they made fun of his charts, and he just kept showing them. And he dared people to laugh at him. He understood that their enemy was the truth, it wasn't personal. He knew that his audience was not fellow politicians, but the people he was communicating to, the voters. And he treated those voters like intelligent partners. As does Jesse Ventura, whether you agreee with him or not. Ronald Reagan said always hit the ground running, and do something... something. People like Ventura because they don't have to wonder if he's really saying what he thinks. Agree with him or not, people know they can trust him to say what he really thinks. In its essence, it's nothing but quantifiable.

Peace by oppression is not peace.

10:30pm -

I look at what's happening in the world and it saddens me every bit as much as it makes me more committed. I told you what was going on in Africa.. and finally someone had the courage to say it in public.

You look at the numbers on consumer confidence, and the numbers on confidence in the media, and then confidence in Bush, and you can't help but notice that the numbers are not consistent with the profile of a unified nation, or one satisfied in its leadership. I really do mean all that as an observation. You do see the profile of one that's scared and confused.

So far, I've identified 7 distinct historical and sociological patterns occurring at this juncture, and 2 more I hope I'm wrong about... it's amazing. And that's all based on reputable authors and historians. What a tangled web we weave.

We press forward. :}
