It is raining. I am looking forward to sunnier skies and pleasant days off, but I will hunker down and ride it out. Will drink my coffee and surf the web some before I get to my reading. I just have to keep in mind that I have a job that pays well enough for me to keep the bull dog off my back. I hate the situation I find myself in, but I am the only power on the face of this earth that can change my station. It matters not if the economy will implode this summer as predicted by many economic experts. I still believe martial law is a done deal; it is only a matter of when ... not if.
Mexico has been in the news lately because of the rocketing organized crime killings in the country, as well as here in the US. The blame for the increasing violence has been attributed to the drug trade. That is part of it. Here are the latest facts on the global drug situation. Even though this report may have an agenda (what doesn't?) it is a good source of data.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime produced this yearly report that "presents comprehensive information on the illicit drug situation. It provides detailed estimates and trends on production, trafficking and consumption in the opium/heroin, coca/cocaine, cannabis and amphetamine-type stimulants markets. Here is the report that was published in June 2008 - Drugs 2008
What isn't being widely reported is that when one area of crime's cash flow is squeezed, other means of obtaining a secure cash flow emerge. Monies from human trafficking are replacing lost drug revenue, and the present rise in violent crime in Mexico most definitely can be attributed to this.

Green tea is seeping so I will add an entry while it is being prepared for my morning sip. I believe Joel Biroco is correct; it is best to keep magickal workings secret. (see Kaos #14) This working will encompass what will most likely be the remainder of my life. I have been in desperate need of direction and sorely been lacking anything that resembles a foundation. I have often remarked in this Blog that I have the tools. But, having them does not ensure proper use. My statement that the book must be completed by year's end was a true one, but the real work will never end.
It is cold, dark, and pouring rain. I went to check my PO Box this morning. My right front wheel was slightly off the pavement as I made a turn out of the parking lot. This wheel slid off onto what had been freshly worked earth. This construction work turned the ground into virtual quicksand. My front tire sank quickly into the morass! In fact, my van sunk so deeply into the muck my left rear tire actually lifted right off the ground. What a crock of shit. It cost me $70 to get pulled out. Luckily, I have insurance to cover the cost. Glad to be back home out of the elements. I have some fantastic books to read I found searching for materials for the book I am writing. I will be reading today. This work must be completed by the year's end.

Here is a real eye opener. It comes as no surprise as to the great lenghts being taken to "protect" AIG, Goldman Sachs, and a host of other financial scumbag organizations. AIG isn't just "too big to fail." It is a scam to big to disclose. For The Record - AIG
I have a storm of ideas circulating in my brain. I have to organize these thoughts so I can convey and transfer them to a written form. Personal satisfaction is the only true reward. If I am lucky, a few crumbs of wealth may come my way. If I fight long and hard enough, I won't have to expect the offering; I will take that which is mine.
I include this video presentation because it features The Church of Set founder Michael Aquino. I have done a great deal of research on him, and the Church of Set. I have a large collection of the Church of Set publications as well as documents Col. Aquino produced for the US Army. A fascinating individual.

I was watching a technology/business cable program that featured a guest by the name of Nouriel Roubini, a professor of economics at the Stern School of Business, New York University and chairman of RGE Monitor, an economic consultant firm. After receiving his doctorate in international economics from Harvard University, he began academic research and policy-making by teaching at Yale while also spending time at the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve, World Bank and Bank of Israel. Much of his early studies were focused on emerging-market countries. During President Bill Clinton’s administration he was a senior economist for the Council of Economic Advisers later moving to the Treasury Department as a senior adviser to Timothy Geithner who is now Treasury Secretary. He participated in the following debate recently: Intelligence Squared debate on whether Washington should be blamed more than Wall Street for the financial crisis.

Blame Washington more than Wall Street for the financial crisis.
Moderator: John Donvan
Speaking for the motion: Niall Ferguson, John Steele Gordon and Nouriel Roubini
Speaking against the motion: Alex Berenson, Jim Chanos and Nell Minow
Here is a transcript of that debate. It is definitely worth reading. Intelligence Squared Debate I have tomorrow off. Not much relaxation is planed.

Not motivated to write as of late, but the fire still burns. Here is an interesting set of documents: Big Brother This is what it is all about ...
"Orwellian Solution" to the Great Depression: Curbing Civil Unrest
At this particular juncture, there is no economic recovery program in sight. The Washington-Wall Street consensus prevails. There are no policies, no alternatives formulated from within the political and economic system.
What is the way out? How will the US government face an impending social catastrophe?
The solution is to curb social unrest. The chosen avenue, inherited from the outgoing Bush administration is the reinforcement of the Homeland Security apparatus and the militarization of civilian State institutions.
The outgoing administration has laid the groundwork. Various pieces of "anti-terrorist" legislation (including the Patriot Acts) and presidential directives have been put in place since 2001, largely using the pretext of the "Global War on Terrorism."
When I was searching for these documents, which are freely available through legitimate/open sources, my computer screen blinked. I must say, this leads me to believe I was being monitored. Maybe I am just being paranoid ... maybe not.

Coming up with the slogan and accompanying logo - which shows a silhouetted figure doing a cartwheel across letters spelling out Wisconsin - cost $50,000. The money came from the department's annual $10 million marketing budget. This "campaign" is a joke. I thought our state quarter was outragous. Now this?
This is a good video. I hate to be the bearer of continual bad news, but unfortunately, there isn't any good news. I am keeping my job for what it is worth. I continue to look to the future and realize the only person who can save me from the madness is myself; the blind leading the blind. From what I have gathered, the final economic collapse will manifest itself sometime in the coming months. This is going to be one bloody summer. If anything, the arrival of the anti-Christ and the peace that follows is welcome.

I believe this is Venus Satanas. She is an incredible artist, and most likely the most sensual and intelligent Satanist I have ever run across here in cyberspace. I plan on reading her material she has published on her web site.

The news is all too familiar; 700 apply for one janitorial position. That sums up the state of the American economy. My level of optimism of my future has not been adequate for longer than I am comfortable with. The way things look, I will have to stay at the grocery store for the duration of this economic downturn. That could very well be the remainder of my life. The only option I have is to educate myself and acquire skills that will be viable. I am at a loss to where I turn. I know what to do. I just don't care anymore. That is the first hurdle to overcome. I have to snap out of this depression.
The economic situation is not what is eating me. I saw this collapse coming, and I didn't do shit to prepare. I just quit caring. I let others interfere. Because of this blunder, I sit here in a place I deserve better to be, but a place of my own creation. I am feeling regret. Fuck, I'm circling the drain.
Went for a short ride to buy some lottery tickets for tonight. The Badger 5 is $150,000. That would do it. I drank some coffee and tried to get a grip on the turmoil eating my grey matter. I can make things right. Since my return to Wisconsin, things have not been right. I am responsible. My mantra has to remain ... one year to change things once and for all.
I find this news story amusing from a LHP (Left Hand Path) slant:
A gunman strode down the aisle of the sprawling First Baptist Church shortly after 8 a.m. and briefly spoke with The Rev. Fred Winters before pulling out a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol and shooting at the pastor, Illinois State Police Director Larry Trent said.
"Our great God is not surprised by this, or anything," Nate Adams, executive director of the Illinois Baptist State Association, said in a statement. "That He allows evil and free will to have their way in tragedies like this is a mystery in many ways."
I like the graphics. End today on a positive note.

I haven't felt like writing. I may be taking a break here soon. With all the projects, I am spent. One year. I give myself one year. I should have done this years ago, but what else is new?

Saw a super band last night at Club Inferno. The name of the group is called All The Pretty Horses. This band certainly has gone through a number of changes. From what I had learned about this band, Venus DeMars was the bass player. This band came out of Minneapolis 10 - 12 years ago. DeMars was also playing bass for a couple other bands, so she was busy. Anyway, the band I saw last night has changed. DeMars is playing lead guitar and this other dude is playing bass. He was a master. The lead style DeMars has developed is raw. I enjoyed the show. I will never play bass like this member of the band. His fingers were so smooth and nimble, it was sheer mastery at work. Should that convince me not to play? No. I saw in his presence a will to succeed. I saw this in Venus DeMars. They drew their circles and from there staked their claim. That is all that matters. We are being told that in order to be a success in this world, you have to be the best. That is a divide and conquer ploy that sadly is the most effective tool of control ever devised. Those who master it master the world. I have been telling myself all along to narrow my focus. I never listen to myself. This is the single greatest error of my life.
