The Mere thought of...
See, for decades Big business and Governments have been trying to get rid of the middle class and over the past decade they have been succeeding very quickly and dramatically. It seems they only want to have two classes of people. The High Class and The Low Class. What is my definition of Middle Class? The thought of middle class is being able to work full time, a 40 hour week without having to put in overtime. That's right, just your regular 40 hour week, and with that pay be able to pay all of your bills, put food on your table for you and your family, maybe donate a small percentage to your local church or religion, and then stash some away in your bank account to save up for a rainy day and build a nest egg with a proper retirement.
Those days have long gone, almost unheard of. Health care costs are ridiculous; one trip to the hospital could have you paying a medical bill for the rest of your life. As a full time worker, treated as a clock number only, my health insurance is in my eyes pretty good compared to a lot of others today; but it could be much better. It used to be working for companies they paid for your health insurance. We didn't have to pay part of our own insurance, we didn't have to pay co-pays for doctor visits, or co-pays for prescription medicines; our company who we made millions for had the courtesy to show us that we are the ones making them money and take care of us in return. No longer do they believe that the workforce is their bread and butter. If you talk to them, they think of you as nothing, as someone who can be replaced in a second even if, even if you've busted your hump for them for decades showing loyalty.
There is no more loyalty these days between companies and workers and vice-versa. With such the poor handling of employees, unions forming to protect themselves of unfair labor laws why should the working man have loyalty to their company from how they are viewed and treated like the dirt under your finger nail? They wonder why I always update my resume' when I have something to add and keep it posted online for others to view. They wonder why I always look for the next best thing to come along. It's because in my opinion my company is trying to ruin their employees will, soul, and courtesy to one another. Could it be the place I work is union? Yes, because this multi-billion dollar corporation purchased our place and we are the 2nd place to only be union. So my schedule shifts from week to week; third to second and second to third shift because of production needs; rather lack there of and layoffs from week to week.
If we take a look back in history, throughout the centuries at the empires who once ruled; we can see that they all fell. Why? After so long, an empire, more commonly known as countries today have been torn down by their own citizens because of corrupt governments, corrupt rulers, and the oppression of their citizens. You can only tear down your countrymen so long before people take drastic measures and the proof is there.
This is why I believe that learning or taking "social studies/history" in your grade schools (k-12) is useless. They say that we all have to take history so history does not repeat itself. Obviously the people who are big business leaders, CEOs, CFOs, and Politicians must have failed these classes or not have taken them. Because history obviously repeats itself and nobody learns their lessons. WWI, bloody mess and we didn't learn from that because we ended up with a second world war. Revolutions in the countries over in Europe continue to exist and have existed to take place because the new "leaders" do the exact same thing as the last, making no changes.
We are headed down the path to destruction very quickly. I fear it, and it is coming true more and more everyday. There are a few quotes from some of our influential leaders in the United States that I'd like to share that are even more true today.
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by sword. The other is by debt.
- John Adams 1735-1826
To be born free is an accident. To live free is a privilege. To die free is a responsibility.

USA Taliban working together....again
Why, you ask would we be working with the Afghan-Taliban once again? Especially after the war we've had with them for over a decade, after their treachery done to the American people and our so-called allies? With the opposition gaining more and more violent in Syria, the world knows that the fighting there will not stop as the current regime in charge (Assad), is hitting them harder each day as well. The bad part; innocent casualties taking place where they are caught right in the middle of the crossfire.
The Taliban are looking for regime change, we are looking for regime change, and so we arm the opposition with more weapons and some training. Why do we want regime change? To play the man behind the curtain, but yet it doesn't make sense why we are working with the Taliban on this? Simply put, we both want regime change and both want to control the powers there and we both think we are playing each other. And once the change comes, we both believe we'll hold the power. And then comes another fight in the country of Syria, not by Assad or the Opposition, but then by the Taliban and the US warring with each other over power showing the rest of the European Countries our true intentions.
And once this happens, it will only make things and tensions worse in the Middle East. Iran will go back on the offensive as they've previously stated that if they feel threatened about a preemptive strike against the Western Powers and it's allies. What is this saying to me is that their nuclear research for power is not for the power of energy, but the power of mass weaponry and destruction. A way to tell others to back off, and that we control our own fate and that we are now a world power on it's own. Welcome to the New World Order. Welcome to the next Cold War, welcome...to the end.

The Absence of my Being
Dear Friends, Readers, Curious Minds let me apologize for the past few days of my absence. While some of my politics and staying caught up in the Global News has taken someone of a side seat, it does not mean my thoughts of concern have faded away. The realization that we are going further and further down a one way street still exists. The bad thing, is that even thought we are one that one way street, the one way street to peace is that we are going the wrong away. We are fighting traffic, and even though millions watch and protest for human rights, freedom, the will to live without oppression, it still does not matter.
The "One Voice" we were taught when we were younger, telling us you are only one person, but it is that one person who can make a difference has died. It may have worked decades ago, but with every country having it's own problems, it shows that hundreds of thousands, let alone one voice does not make a difference. Look at Scott Walker, having thousands upon thousands protesting him, and he has his own agenda. Look at our representatives, that are supposed to be representing the people. Yet they represent themselves and their "values" that they see fit for them. Look who backs them, major corporations, i.e. Koch Brothers. Why not protect their investment of letting big businesses take over while they get paybacks. It doesn't matter for the small under the table deals, the nation crumbling, as long as they get theirs then they are fine with it.
So, my absence. While I did get a little sidetracked, I have to explain where I have been. I have been adjusting to different sleep patterns as the job that I currently have is dwindling itself therefore puts me on different shifts from week to week going from my usual third shift to second shift. Upon that I have been studying and building my library on what I put aside for a while. In the past I have studied Religion, Spirituality, Angels, Demons, and the history on Witchcraft, the history on paganism. And if we look at it, it plays a big role today, it just has taken a back seat to a lot of people. Does this mean I am a worshiper of evil entities? NO. It means that I stay knowledgeable about my enemies, because even though I study the demonology, and the folklore and myths we must all remember that just like lies, they all have a bit of truth to them in some sort of manner. No matter how old, how some stories have changed, some details added, some taken away, they all came from a form of truth.
So I leave you with keep your mind open. Look at the things going on you in the world today, look at the prophecies, the myths, the legends, and then look how the world is spinning and the events that are worldwide. Also I've added a picture below of my current collection.
