Video of the Week

Ok, I'm a day late posting and so I have two videos for you all to check out. At right is a video I came across a while ago that I only just remembered because of this video below that my brother Jesse passed along to me.



I've been a bit busy at home doing some research for one of several top secret projects I have going. These two videos and this previous post are a bit of a hint as to what the project is about.

More soon...

The Police State?





I found this video surfing the news today. Yikes. Fortunately, this police officer is now suspended.


I also found this article about a recent interview in which Antonin Scalia says he thinks torture is probably ok. Unfortunately, Scalia is still a Supreme Court Justice for LIFE.

And then I find out that Congress voted to ok the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens and to give retroactive immunity to corporations that contributed to this spying on the American people.

Great, just great. Unfortunately, we just voted most of those guys into office last winter.

This kind of stuff is in the news every single day. Incidently, I stumbled across an article that discussed the 14 characteristics of Fascism. The parallels with the current state of the U.S. is uncanny.

Click the Image below to see the same points from that article with specific examples.

Futurespeak

Ok, THIS is just wrong! If I ever had to get a regular j-o-b, they would never have this kind of stuff and if they did I sure wouldn't work there. Yikes.

This does remind me of the power of writing and a quote from the movie, The Secret... "Thoughts become things." I forget who said that but it sure is true. If you dream it up, it will be. Even the most outlandish idea can become reality. Take, for example, the holodeck from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Here's a pic...




Now, if you've ever watched the show you know what this does. One big fancy virtual reality "game" controller basically. The user(s) go into this room and load a program up and interact with a virtual environment. Pretty cool if you ask me. Back when Star Trek:TNG was on there was virtual reality but nothing like this. Fastforward to the present day in the real world and there is this. Look at this picture below and read this article.


"Thoughts become things." Something to think about.
