I was thinking about our discussion at the bar last night (10/25) and I feel like all of this is so huge and depressing that I wonder how people who know this stuff keep going on with life. Think about it...

These forces are so huge and powerful that it seems like there's no hope. I've got a couple of kids and I want them to have a lovely life, but the world around them is completely fucked.

I know one thing, I need to stop drinking and talking about this stuff because adding a depressent to a depressing subject is a sure way to drink your life away.

Dude, how do you deal with all of this? I imagine that it takes a toll on your emotional health too...

Sorry

I play video games and drink. escapism and drugs...lol
but seriously talking about it helps because it is nice to know you are not crazy. And I do feel for your kids, there is a Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times"...these are most certainly interesting times. but they have a strong father and will be alright.

I had the fun the other night, I do enjoy our conversations. you can either drug yourself up with pharmaceuticals and pretend that the world doesn't exist, or you can cowboy up to the bar and take it like a man. I think the elite may have overplayed their hand and people are wising up. I don't think this is the end but a transition. When the soccer moms realize what we know...the jig is up. we outnumber these people 10,000 to 1. Once we realize it, things will change for the better.

Remember hope was all that was left in Pandora's box...

Uki-san, I'm thinking about

Uki-san, I'm thinking about embracing temperance for a while. I feel like the last thing that I need to do to myself is add a depressent to depression. Also, my dad was a raging alcoholic and I'm thinking that all of this is looking like the perfect storm. I'm not sure what to do or how to fix any of this, but until I figure something out, I think I need to make some healthier choices.

This has been a tough weekend for me. I've felt pretty low and trapped. Drinking feels like gravedigging. I'm not into that.

I never thought that the

I never thought that the whole thing would come crumbling down...and I still hope it won't, but when Bush and all of these people start talking about WWIII and nukes, I start to get a little nervous. I'd like to find somewhere safe for my family, but I'm not sure if anywhere is going to be safe. NZ might be a good bet as far as WWIII goes, but there is the whole Tama Iti debacle. I've read a crapload on that and its been disheartening.

Good side is that most Kiwis aren't buyin' that shit.

Fight the Future

Family and friend network cannot be discounted either. not to mention we are in the center of the continent next to 10% of the worlds supply of fresh water, and not on an Island where a HAARP inspired hurricane or an underwater nuke tsunami could wreak havoc.

Put a link about this incident for me , I just read a blurb about some terrorist arrests. NZ will go the way of the US and England unfortunately, the same powers control there that control here. but the good thing is that everyone is wising up...I really notice it. Trust me I been doing this for years and for many people thought I was literally insane, now they think I'm a visionary....lol well maybe still insane.

Out of the point of greatest chaos come the point of greatest balance.
Its always darkest before the dawn.
Fight the Future.
