They doesn't let them get a word in! I bet it will be a while before the mainstream media makes this mistake again.
Is the future bright?
Well it depends I guess. I don't think the future is set in stone. And I think the future will be bright for some and not so bright for others. I definitely don't think there's such thing as predetermination, meaning God called all the shots a long time ago and we're just playing out what's already been decided. In fact I think that was the Luciferian proposal. Old scratch promised us that he would make the future certain in exchange for our giving up our freedom to choose. Much like communism. Let us be in charge and we'll make sure you have everything you need. Though the future is not set, the quick and dirty version of my view of the future is a cynical one. I have great respect for the opinions of Joel Skousen, another Mormon. I think he's what we all wish Mitt Romney was. He is terribly realistic, and that is a quality that gets results. I think that his realism is inspiring. The truth is this...if things are ever going to change, really going to change, it has to be done in reality. We always have to start with and in reality. So I think Joel Skousen is terribly advanced in his thinking because he is so realistic. Reality is my religion. I worship reality. I rely on reality, I only believe in reality. If you are to have anything, do anything, be anything, it must be done, had, and been in reality. It's a pretty simple concept, but one that strikes at the heart of everything. I'm actually working on a book right now called Truth and Propoganda that is about this very simple concept. You see I think most people are to terrified to actually look at reality. We don't want to know the truth because what if the truth isn't good? There's a lot to say about this simple idea and the human experience. I'm not sure what the future will bring, but I like a lot of Joel Skousen's thoughts. They are not bright for all people, or most people really. Here's the quick and dirty: Joel believes World War III is coming with a surprise attack from China. In the aftermath, if us conspiracy theorists are prepared, we can gather and salvage a free republic. If you watch the most recent Infowars interview with Chuck Baldwin, you'll note that he ends the interview by discussing his plans to move to Montana. I think Joel has gotten to him as well. The current struggle is worth the struggle, but Skousen doesn't think we will be successful. He has some very compelling arguments for why not. However he believes, supported by a lot of history, that God will always throw good people a bone, and our bone will come after the nuclear holocaust if we are prepared. Not something I discuss with my children, or my wife for that matter, but I believe it's terribly realistic and horribly plausible. So I feel a little mixed about the current struggle. I don't think our struggle will be successful in turning the tide, but I get really angry about everything going on and feel like I need to do something, so I keep writing. Spouting to anyone I can get to listen to me. Spouting is plan A, but in reality, my money is on plan B.
A Warped Nation
Our Country has so perverted what it was meant to be. We have left our greatness. We have moved from our foundation. We have begun an idle worship of our exceptionalism. We are not exceptional. The same things that happened to others will also happen to us. We are youth that never believe they will get old. We are fools. Children with no experience. Our day is coming and it is coming quickly.
It's hard to compete with a plantation of a billion slaves!
This crap should not be tolerated by the rest of the world...

I Hate Conspiracy Theories
You know what, more than anything else in the entire world, I want life and the world to go on just as it has for the first 30 years of my life. I'm sick and tired of uncertainty, I'm sick and tired of bad news, I'm sick and tired of predicting the future. I have beautiful children. I've worked hard for a long time to have a promising future and I feel like I'm watching all of it get washed into the toilet without any signs of hope. I'm really getting fed up with it all. I'm not trying to focus on the negative. I don't like looking at the ugly any more than anybody else. I don't like the present circumstances, but that doesn't mean I can ignore them. Facts are facts. I didn't create them, they terrify me, I hate thinking about them, but they are not going away and each day I wake up and more and more all these stupid conspiracy theories are coming true. I wish Alex Jones was a salesman taking advantage of us all. I wish our country was really just run by a bunch of stupid politicians. I wish Al Queda was our greatest enemy, but more and more every day it seems like there's something really really bad going on and I just really don't see many solutions. I feel like we're all about to get run over by a train and all we can do is comment about it to one another and hope something miraculous happens before this loud roaring train we can see 50 yards down the track reaches us. I read Ishmael, or most of it once and there's this allegory about a person who wants to fly so he jumps off the highest cliff he can find and thinks he's flying, but all the while he's really just falling and hasn't hit the ground yet. We're like that guy. The last century has felt like a pretty good flight, except now we're close enough to see the ground rushing up at us and I think some people think if we ignore it enough or call it something else, what we think is about to happen won't.
Response to "Evolution - Organic Vs. Satanic"
Original article: http://rateofdissent.blogspot.com/2011/02/evolution-organic-vs-satanic.html
Howdy D, I read your other post on Infowars also. Good posts.
Transhumanism is an interesting enchilada. I think I've mentioned this before. I was reading a book by Ken Wilbur and I must say he probably is the type that drinks tea with Kurzweil, you'll note that I have a link to Kurzweil to the right on my blogpage. I'll explain later. Anyways Wilbur was talking about evolution and technology, and I think I mentioned this to you before, but he shared this analogy about monkeys and guns. This idea he shared actually opened me back up to the idea that there is in fact a God. You see there's so much space and so many planets, that statistically what's happening on our planet (meaning evolution, intelligence, technology, etc.) must be happening or has happened in a million other places. And likely all planetary evolution reaches a phase like ours where we begin to become so intelligent that technology explodes exponentially (to our detriment as we shall see). Then we're faced with this terrible predicament. We are so advanced that we become like a monkey with a gun. We have these geniuses like Einstein who are able to understand profound secrets or the universe and they unlock things like quantum mechanics which holds many beautiful truths, but also provides us with nuclear weapons. Here's the conundrum: A man like Einstein could be trusted with nuclear weapons, because he was as morally advanced as he was intellectually advanced. His advanced maturity made him morally mature enough to ensure that he would never use something as abominable as a nuclear weapon. The problem is the "monkeys" (people not as mature as Einstein) are left in possession with his "gun" or his intellectual achievements embodied in new technologies, but we are not left with his moral achievements, they are much more difficult to capture and pass on. So as technology continues to advance you end up inevitably with a few gun wielding monkeys running around, until eventually as you so astutely point out, some monkey blows us all up or even worse subjects us to slavery for the rest of who knows how long. But Wilbur's point was this. If advanced evolution always reaches this point, in order to continue evolving, or maybe I should say, in order for the status quo (i.e. human beings) to continue evolving, there comes a point where we have to find a solution to this problem. The obvious solution he points out is that morals must become as advanced as intellects and technology. Otherwise an evolving intelligent race is always faced with extinction. So he essentially gives a plug to old Moses claiming that it is essential for man to learn to follow an advanced moral code or otherwise we are, in archaic terms, damned to hell (as a species or civilization). Further, the holy grail, for Kurzweil, is technology that will give an intelligence eternal existence, or eternal life. It's all starting to loop back around and sound like religion. Perhaps there's someplace a race of beings with the ultimate "technology" who only grant it to people who've developed enough morally to not go on perpetuating an immoral reign of power shown by most intelligences who have power. It all quickly turns from science and futurism to the issues of old theology. It's interesting as well to note that Kurzweil likens technology to magic (more archaic superstition) in the introduction to his book, The The Singularity is Near. He states that Harry Potter, although perhaps in an obtuse Freudian way, is an allegory for what is taking place with technology. Very interesting how things loop back to old themes. Another interesting thing about Kurzweil is that he believes in an innate goodness in intelligence and that is why he cheerleads the Singularity. Or maybe he's getting kickbacks from the Rockefellers. But it raises the question of why some intelligences are good and other's are not? What makes some people good and others not. I think if i understand correctly Kurzweil seems to think it's all a function of intelligence and so the bad of the world are less intelligent and the good of the world are more intelligent to put it simply. So his assumption is that if something is more intelligent than humans it will also have more "innate goodness" I think. Meaning there's no reason to fear the computer gods of the future because they will be all loving. That may be terribly niave. As you mentioned in response to my last blog comment, what if that computer god becomes the next Lucifer? Of course we know there are in fact very intelligent people who have done very bad things. So I don't know that he's exactly correct in his logic. Anyway, very thought provoking.
As mentioned before I link Kurzweil on my blog. I also link Ken Wilbur. Ever since reading Wilbur I've been focused and interested in this idea of evolution of technology which of course leads directly to Kurzweil and friends. I make no supposition of whether Kurzweil is good or bad. I do agree that the possibilities are terrifying. But I link the both of them because I think they are discussing very relevant issues that we should all be more than casually aware of.
To continue running on, there is an interesting film series called Koyaanisquatsi (I'm not even going to pretend that's spelled correctly) that explores some of these idea. It's also the film that turned me on to conspiracy theories, mainly 911, in an indirect way.
Hope you are getting to see the northern lights. Conversations with you are never dull.
