So this is In The Name of Love, like Robert say,
Before you ask me, to go get a job today,
Can I at least get a raise, on the minimum wage?


And I know the government, administer AIDS,
So I guess we just pray, like the minister say,

Allahu Akbar, and throw 'em some hot cars,
Things we see on the screen, is not ours,
But these niggas from the hood,
So these dreams not far,
Where I'm from, the dope boys,
Is, the rock stars,
But they can't cop cars,
Without seein', cop cars,

I guess they want us all behind bars...

They say people in your life, are seasons,
And anything that happen, is for a reason,
And niggas gun' clappin', and keep to squeezin',
And Gran keep prayin', and keep believin',
In Jesus, and one day, that ya see him,
'Til they walk in his footsteps, and try to be him,
The devil is alive, I feel him breathin',
Claimin' money is the key, so keep on dreamin',

And put them lottery tickets, just to tease us,
My aunt Pam, can't put those cigarettes down,
Now my lil' cousin smokin' them cigarettes now,
His job trying to claim, that he too niggerish now,
Is it 'cause his skin, blacker than licorice now?

I can't figure it out..

I'm stickin' it out..

House panel votes $844 mln cut in food stamps

By Charles Abbott 26 minutes ago


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - On a party-line vote, a Republican-run U.

S. House of Representatives committee voted to cut food stamps by $844 million on Friday, just hours after a new government report showed more Americans are struggling to put food on the table.

About 300,000 Americans would lose benefits due to tighter eligibility rules for food stamps, the major U.

S. antihunger program, under the House plan. The cuts would be part of $3.

7 billion pared from Agriculture Department programs over five years as part of government-wide spending reductions.

Agriculture Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte defended the decision, saying only a sliver of food stamp spending was affected and, for the most part, the cuts would eliminate people not truly eligible.

"This is not a giveaway program that results in windfall profits," said North Carolina Democrat G.

K. Butterfield in opposing the cuts. "That is not moral.

That is not American."

Antihunger activists said hunger rates were up for the fifth year in a row, so the cuts were a mistake.

"It is hard to imagine any congressional action that is more detached from reality," said James Weill of the Food Research and Action Center.



"Cutting food stamps now is a scandal," said David Beckman of Bread for the World, pointing to losses from hurricanes.

Approved 25-20, the committee package now will become part of an omnibus budget-cutting bill.

The House plan would also cut U.

S. crop supports by $1 billion, land stewardship by $760 million, research by $620 million and rural development by $446 million.

The Senate's budget reduction plan would not touch food stamps, but would cut $3 billion from other USDA programs.



On food stamps, the House committee agreed to require immigrants to wait seven years, instead of the current five, to apply for aid. That would affect an estimated 70,000 people.

It also would deny food stamps to people who automatically get food stamps because they receive help through other welfare programs but whose income is above food stamp levels.

About 225,000 people fall in that category.

North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy complained that 40,000 children would lose free meals at school because of that provision.

"You have not even come clean that kids are going to lose school breakfast and school lunch under this," he said.



Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, said states unfairly "have taken the opportunity to expand food stamp eligibility" beyond what the federal government intended. Democrat John Barrow of Georgia said Goodlatte was punishing states for using welfare reform laws to respond to local needs.

A new Agriculture Department report found 38.

2 million Americans "were food insecure" in 2004, an increase of nearly 2 million from the previous year. Tufts University food economist Parke Wilde food insecurity "now equals the worst levels" since recordkeeping began a decade ago.

USDA said 11.

9 percent of households, "at some time during the year, had difficulty providing enough food for all their members due to a lack of resources."

Food stamps help poor Americans buy food. About 25 million people get food stamps monthly.



The USDA had an overall budget of about $85 billion in fiscal 2005. Food stamps and other nutrition programs for the poor accounted for about $51 billion, with the remainder going to crop subsidies for farmers, food aid to foreign countries, farmland conservation, meat plant inspections and other farm-related programs.

Sisyphus (SIS-i-fus)

Sinner condemned in Tartarus to an eternity of rolling a boulder uphill then watching it roll back down again.

Sisyphus was founder and king of Corinth, or Ephyra as it was called in those days. He was notorious as the most cunning knave on earth. His greatest triumph came at the end of his life, when the god Hades came to claim him personally for the kingdom of the dead.

Hades had brought along a pair of handcuffs, a comparative novelty, and Sisyphus expressed such an interest that Hades was persuaded to demonstrate their use - on himself.

And so it came about that the high lord of the Underworld was kept locked up in a closet at Sisyphus's house for many a day, a circumstance which put the great chain of being seriously out of whack. Nobody could die.

A soldier might be chopped to bits in battle and still show up at camp for dinner. Finally Hades was released and Sisyphus was ordered summarily to report to the Underworld for his eternal assignment. But the wily one had another trick up his sleeve.



He simply told his wife not to bury him and then complained to Persephone, Queen of the Dead, that he had not been accorded the proper funeral honors. What's more, as an unburied corpse he had no business on the far side of the river Styx at all - his wife hadn't placed a coin under his tongue to secure passage with Charon the ferryman. Surely her highness could see that Sisyphus must be given leave to journey back topside and put things right.



Kindly Persephone assented, and Sisyphus made his way back to the sunshine, where he promptly forgot all about funerals and such drab affairs and lived on in dissipation for another good stretch of time. But even this paramount trickster could only postpone the inevitable. Eventually he was hauled down to Hades, where his indiscretions caught up with him.

For a crime against the gods - the specifics of which are variously reported - he was condemned to an eternity at hard labor. And frustrating labor at that. For his assignment was to roll a great boulder to the top of a hill.

Only every time Sisyphus, by the greatest of exertion and toil, attained the summit, the darn thing rolled back down again.

"We are not being, we are doing..

."

- Black Krishna

To quote the Great Fred Flintstone: "WILMAAA!

!!"




I had a discussion with a friend today on what was "real", and she said that while my (only hinted-at - don't need her world made of Jell-O since I like visiting world's that are not) theories may be valuable, I couldn't deny the images we were seeing on TV.

She also said that she just couldn't take the suffering and death and destruction, and thus has to tune out nearly everything but the headlines.

I countered with a yes..

. but.

Stepping back for a minute, I made the simple point that if something you do is making you feel "worse", then perhaps you should stop it.

If that's the "news", then perhaps you should stop watching it, especially when there are other options for information besides Magic 8-Ball's and sheep entrails.

Stepping up for a minute, I also suggested that ALL information is based on editorial decisions, from what we wear to what we say, and that obviously includes the news. The images we see are meant to make us feel terrible and powerless, and don't include a tonne of context.



Though we've seen a half-dozen hurricanes recently, I don't know a damn thing about them - and neither does anybody I know despite their authoritative repetition of the banalities of evil that pass for analysis on TV. Experts are invited on shows to merely say that "it's coming and may hit here", and discuss the basics such as the speed of the winds and category of hurricane and how we should do what the government tells us.

There is no push for "science", no reason for why this is happening now, and no reason they can't be predicted or stopped in some fashion.



I mean, we (may have - oops, that there may be pushing it) put a man on the moon, and yet, we can't send a big ol' balloon full of hot air (like Rush Limbaugh) up to chill out a cloud or two?

Okay, I'm just theorizing; really, I'm not saying I have any answers, but I'm damn sure somebody who knows a thing or two-thousand about this does.

So, before you tell me I'm crazy, tell me you're right.



No, "really" right.

Not "we gotta kill 'em over there before they kill us over here" right.

There's a huge difference.

In fact, the best source of "news" I've ever seen has someone who's been professionally contradicting the official garbage for a hell of a long time now, so why not give him a chance to explain for all our sakes...

Government Weather Control Won't Stop Hurricane Wilma

40-year-old proven technology lies dormant as lives and livelihoods are wrecked

Infowars Network | October 21, 2005
By Paul Joseph Watson Alex Jones


Buried under the constantly updated reports of Hurricane Wilma, its increasing or decreasing strength and where it will make landfall, is the reality that the government already has developed technology enabling control and reduction of hurricanes.

However, unsurprisingly they have no shown no willingness to use it to save lives or businesses as we come to the conclusion of what many are calling the most unprecedented hurricane season in history.



Former Naval physicist Ben Livingston briefed President Lyndon B. Johnson on hurricane control technology 40 years ago and continues to try to educate the public on its potential effectiveness today.

During a recent appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Livingston outlined the basics of the technology.



"A hurricane is made up of energy sails and each of those sails adds to the ferocity of it. It was proven in 1974 by an international project that these energy sails exist and that they are the reason that hurricanes can develop and grow move and cause damages. So there's no reason to attack the hurricane in total but just to fly in to the right front quadrant primarily relative to the direction the storm is moving in and seed those energy sails that are converging and making the rain and wind velocity increase in the front part of a hurricane.

" Livingston asserted.

He went on to explain exactly how to minimize and control the hurricane:

"We would be trying to destroy or at least grossly reduce the velocity in these individual energy sails by seeding the clouds with silver iodide in the top part of the cloud..

. and those tops would then have so many small droplets in them that the prevailing wind just blows them away and so an energy sail would be neutralized until it can regroup which may be several hours later."

The seeding process may sound complicated but it is not at all.

There would be no need for more than two small aircraft at a time to safely fly upwards into the hurricane.

"We're carrying more cloud seeding material on one airplane now, over 800% more on each plane than we had during Project Storm Fury" (The project set up by the US Government to discover how to control hurricanes in the 60s). Livingston added.



Alex put the question to Livingston, if it is so simple to do and the government knows how to do it and has been doing it since the 60s then why did they not attempt to minimize hurricane Katrina?

"This is a long story with a deep history. Back in the mid 50s, 1954 or so, the government allotted the first amount of money for weather modification and weather control practices to the US weather Bureau to the tune of about 30 million dollars.

" Livingston said.

"Their charge was to employ the most brilliant scientists around the world, and meteorologists and physicists, to work out a concept for reducing damages from hurricanes. What brought that on was that we had three tremendous hurricanes in 1953 and '54 that affected the twelve northeastern states.

.. Basically The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was formed to take that responsibility.

" He went on to say.



With Florida residents now being urged to evacuate and weather experts still unsure of Hurricane Wilma's exact path, how long will it be before public interest peaks in weather control technologies and real pressure is applied to force the government into using them?

We won't be holding our breath.



The deliberate sabotage of relief efforts during Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent exploitation of chaos used to enact police state measures and gun confiscations reminds us of the fact that, despite having tools at its disposal to make the situation better, government always steps in to turn a bad dream into a nightmare.

There.

Feel better or worse?



A bit of both I reckon.

But, at least you know.

And, to quote the Great G.

I. Joe:

"Knowing is half the battle!"

Unfortunately, there is the other half to worry about.









So, I guess we'd better...
