Limits

By Love, Art & Fear

I contemplate the idea of money probably more than I should.  It just seems like the one Earthly thing that affects everyone and everything.  While it’s obvious that it co-facilitates feelings of greed or scarcity within an emotional environment where “enough” hasn’t been made a priority, one reality alludes most…

Money is a fiction.

I will do my best to refrain from my usual ranting about banking systems.  You are welcome:)  I contemplate why we, as potentially unlimited creative beings would honor such a limiting concept.  I wonder how we can bring money back to its original intent of facilitating the goods and services between human beings as a neutral medium.

 

On my home planet, money and great ideas are one.  There are no politicians, only people who are screened, interviewed and hired to facilitate the manifestation of the great ideas.  We see what needs to be done and we do it as opposed to Earth where most see what needs to be done and then make excuses for it.  It is a simple way of being but I believe it could actually work on planet Earth.

 

 

The next time someone tells you of a great idea, refrain from immediately commenting that the idea would cost a fortune and just listen.  Just because the limiting idea of money is at large in this world doesn’t mean that we as creative beings have to play host to it.  Stretch and expand your brain as opposed to encasing in concrete.

 

 

 

Hope your day is great!

Make poverty history

By Love, Art & Fear

This was a nice bumper sticker sentiment on the back of the vehicle in front of me.  Curious, I looked into what the campaign behind this nice suggestion was.  In the province I live in, it is basically a lobby to increase rental allowances to those on social assistance and to adjust appropriately for future inflation increases.  I suppose this is a good idea in a society that desires to perpetuate poverty for the long-term rather than deal with educational deficits that cause the problem in the first place.

Make poverty history by increasing welfare thereby keeping people poor and dependent on a dysfunctional system?  Makes perfect sense to me.

My vote would be geared toward making all government positions a flat tax-free rate of $50 000 with a performance review every year.  This way we could put the newly freed funds toward improving education, wellness and infrastructure.  In Canada, we pay politicians a very healthy salary to steal from the commons.  Paul Martin (former Prime Minister) will continue to receive over $200,000 per year in Canadian pension and he is the man who signed the North American Union Act which effectively dissolved the trade borders between Canada, U.S. and Mexico.

If we look at this world of ours as a business, OUR BUSINESS, then we can quickly find out why it is in the shape its in by having it audited.  For the most part, individuals are kept occupied with jobs and television to be bothered.  As long as there are food pellets when we push the food pellet button we will put up with the condition of our cage system.

rat-in-cage

 

The trouble comes when we start asking real questions and truly think about what needs to be done.

By the way, no one making $250 000 per year from the problem will be willing to honestly seek out proper solutions and…

I wish people promoting band-aid causes would stop marketing them with absolute statements about ‘making poverty history’ when the very system they lobby creates the poverty in the first place.  Poverty is not an accident.

There is only hungry bellies and storehouses of wheat said the Buddha dude.  After this rant, you would think I could end it with a clever way to end poverty but I cannot.  The problem involves all of us and what we allow for ourselves and others.

The problem starts when the people who labored to make the stuff have 30% of the earnings stolen from them and a 300% profit margin added to the stuff they now have to buy back.  Then it spreads to the banks that ‘loan’ the difference with interest.  Now, everyone who created the stuff with their labor is busy working more to pay back fake loans from the banking illusion to buy the very stuff they made in the first place.  Those who fall through the cracks of this broken system can go fuck themselves because they are seen as less than those who are barely making it by with a $100 000 per year but up to their neck in debt.

My clever solution to this ridiculousness is that we all just stop.  Stop for one year.  Abandon the sinking ship and start helping each other build a better world based on a common vision.

First, we’d have to start a dialog about what that vision is while asking why we are so afraid of losing stuff in the form of material goods and antiquated ideas that imprison us.

Perhaps, it is how we define who we are.

Another victory (in my mind)

By Love, Art & Fear

slavery [ˈsleɪvərɪ]

n

1. (Law) the state or condition of being a slave; a civil relationship whereby one person has absolute power over another and controls his life, liberty, and fortune
2. the subjection of a person to another person, esp in being forced into work
3. the condition of being subject to some influence or habit

4. (Business / Industrial Relations & HR Terms) work done in harsh conditions for low pay

 

The director of Provincial Summary Court, Sherry Lyons in Manitoba says that she does not have the time to argue what “law” is.  Despite sending 4 notices to her stating that I have no desire to do business or consent to any unspoken contract that would compel me to pay or perform, they will steal my car if I don’t.

 

She is on record stating that people just have to pay despite there being no signed contract.  By definition, this is slavery.  While it is still ‘illegal’ for me or my corporation to sign charges in your name without providing a product or service and with no contract, these corporations that we call states/provinces continue to do so.

 

To be clear I am not speaking about law.  Law requires an injured party.  Law is for our mutual protection and liberty.  There is absolutely no injured party when someone drives 63 kmh in a 50 zone.  I’m not condoning speeding or unsafe driving.  I’m just saying that law requires an injured party.  Statutes, are financial impositions in order for the state/province to raise funds from the people it is supposed to serve and protect.  100% money grab.

 

The truth of this is that YOU are the injured party.  Sherry Lyons said, “I guess you are the injured party”.  I believe she was misunderstanding the context but, now I think she is right.  If you are driving 63 in a 50 because you didn’t see the sign, then this is a mistake.  If someone in a costume pulls you over and charges $320 to an account in your name, then who is the injured party?  The invisible no one or nothing that was affected by your speed or the one who now has to come up with $320 before Christmas?

 

I hear echoes of others saying “just pay the ticket and shut up”.  These people are responsible for permitting the continuing and ever-increasing corruption/abuse of power.  To them I say, don’t act surprised when a regime comes to take you as a slave because you have been conditioned as one from the very beginning and your silence perpetually seals this deal.  Those that don’t speak up, deserve what they get.

 

 

In the meantime, be safe and slow down, stop talking on cell phones while driving, stop at all stop signs and wear your seat belt!  Stop giving these people money.  They are using it against you.

 

Have a good day!

Small victory

By Love, Art & Fear

I answered the “collection agency” phone call today.  They had left me a message that this was an important “business” call and that I should contact them promptly.  They are CBV collections and they are calling about traffic tickets.  One where I was allegedly talking on a cell phone and the other where I was traveling 63 km in a 50 zone.  oops.

Under common law the accuser would have to present an injured party.  In the case of statutory jurisdiction, no injured party ever exists.  I didn’t harm anyone.  The province of Manitoba is a registered corporation and I am an independent business man.  Men, representing the corporation of Manitoba charged an account in my name.  I denied consent and sent registered mail to confirm that I absolutely had no desire to do business with them.  I also ask for them to show me the contract that I sign that would obligate me to pay or perform.  I gave them 21 days to provide such contract or provide evidence that I work for said corporation.  They ignore this and sent it to a collection agency.

I asked the collection agent a question:  If the Sears corporation charged an account in my name without me ever receiving a product or service, then demanded that I pay or perform and sent it to a collection agency what would this mean?  He said, “they cannot do that, that is fraud.  Did you sign a contract with them?”  I said “no, not that I am aware of.”  He then re-iterated, “no, that is fraud”.  The province of Manitoba is a registered corporation and an agent representing them charge an account in my name to which I explicitly denied consent to.  So why is this different?

He began to stammer in his speech and said that I needed to speak with them.  I told him that I had already sent 6 registered mail notices to them and they ignore it and sent the “account” to a collection agency called CBV.  I asked him if he had a driver’s license and if he thought that this somehow implied an unspoken contract that I had unwittingly signed.  He said he had a driver’s license and that he did not know.  Then he tried to say that the province could fine me regarding me “breaking the law”.  I informed him that this was statutory jurisdiction and was the policy and procedures of a corporation that I do not work for.  Law requires an injured party!!!!

This is a corporation charging the account of a private business man who explicitly denied authorization of the charges and then demanding payment or performance.  The collection agent said “that is illegal”.  I said, “thank you for understanding what the fuck I am talking about”.  He laughed and suggested that I call Manitoba justice and then told me to have a good weekend.

The problem with all of this is that the same corporation that is doing this is also the corporation that is called the courts where I would end up arguing this.  I believe this is a losing situation.

Regardless, he got what I was talking about.

Erection time again!!!

By Love, Art & Fear

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the news is in!!!!

 

Candidate ‘doesn’t matter’ just beat out ‘completely irrelevant’ in the poles!  Congratulations!! Your new president is ‘completely irrelevant’!!!

 

 

Woo hoo!!!  Time for change again?

 

 

 

Did you know that Obama transferred 800 billion Ameros to China in 2008 to secure against a pending default on American debt currently owned by China?  No?  I think Michael Jackson was busy molesting another child for anyone to actually pay attention.  Well, he did promise ‘change’.  Here is one reference:  http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f5_1223308293

 

A little research will show what has happened since 2005.  The North American Union Act was signed between Mexico, Canada and the States under a guise of security and prosperity.  Again, I wish I was making this up.

 

The question on my mind tonight regarding American politics and voting isn’t who won or who lost.  Republican or democratic?  The question on my mind regarding American voting is…

 

Have you learned to speak Mandarin yet?

Circulating Mediums

By Love, Art & Fear

 

I imagine that the title of this post invokes thoughts of psychics in a canoe on a body of water that someone has recently pulled the drain plug to but this is not the case…

 

 

Sometimes, blogging about our current banking system amuses me.  It used to be a mission of mine to get “the truth” out to people until I realized that most people don’t actually care because it upsets their precious status quo or selfish endeavors, so now I just do it for fun.  I’m less stressed, people get to continue as if nothing is wrong and the banks continue to rape – win/win/win.

 

 

I believe that everyone reading this post can do some basic math.

 

 

Let’s start at zero.  You have zero.  The bank has zero.  Seems like a fair way to start a game no?

 

You and the bank sit at the game table staring each other in the eyes, vulnerable, both in need of something.  You, a new car.  The bank, something else.  You render your signature via pen upon a piece of paper that reads the following:

 

 

We, the bank do hereby loan $10 000 to you, the borrower.   Signed:  YOU.

 

The next day you awake to see your account:

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have the car plus this figure in your account.  How could this happen when you were both at the table with zero?  If you have minus, who has the plus?  The biggest trick the banks on Earth pull is that they have you believing that you have the plus and they have the minus.  This is good, because then you go and labor to pay back the minus.  After all, you do have the car, which was paid for by the plus right?

 

The reality is however, that the bank has in its possession, something called a security which they trade on the securities market.  A security is an asset.  It is a plus.  YOU received the minus and every 10-year-old on Earth knows that plus 10,000 and minus 10,000 equals zero.

 

 

The securities market is like a bet that people who don’t think things through will keep working to pay back something that never existed in the first place.  As long as they do… you win.

***********

 

 

I’m a big fan of bubbles!  As a child, I enjoyed they mystery of bubbles.  While on LSD, they reminded me of universes birthed of a child’s breath, ready to collapse in a flickering speck or a passing breeze.  As I endure with time, I see clearer and clearer what clever human beings have established here on Earth and I anticipate and fear the moment that it explodes.

 

How long can banks continue to create assets out of the people’s signature and expect the people to pay back something that the people actually loaned to the bank in the form of a security deposit?

 

How long can corporate greed pimps expect their whores to perform more and more for less and less?

 

How long can government budgets of 15 million over-extend to 20 million so that they can receive 20 million next year?

 

 

How much longer can everyone reading this allow it to continue?

 

 

LOL.  I’m kidding.  Before you go and “occupy” the world and create another stupid, absolutely pointless revolution, realize that this is destined to crash.  With or without you.

Please stand by……………..

Semantics and other forms of retardation

By Love, Art & Fear

Hi.

I was recently in a strange debate about the United States constitutional amendment #2 regarding the right to bear arms.  The debate involved a conspiratorial element that the population was being disarmed to render them helpless against the inevitable new world order.  It wasn’t a heated debate because I really don’t care and didn’t have a point.  I agree however that the problem is not uncle Joe protecting his family from intruders or cougar attacks.  The issue is more about the illegal gun trade that kills people everyday while the ‘protecting’ government makes a small mint off of it.

There seemed to be a lot of confusion regarding what the 2nd amendment means as per the wording of it.  Some say it’s vague.  Here are some of my thoughts that made the arguing counterpart leave.  Thank God.

Perhaps the writers of the constitution were referring to actual bear arms?  If bear arms were a hot commodity back in the day, then why shouldn’t you have the right to them?  This is way better than killing the entire bear is it not?  I mean, yes the bear would lose its arms but he would still have hind legs and be able to live a fairly productive bear life of eating berries/shitting every ten minutes.

Or maybe it was a misspelling by the scribe?  I know for a fact that people back then wore long sleeves.  Possibly because they had small white arms due to Joe Weider not being born yet and hence… no weight lifting.  Nevertheless, I would have supported their right to bare arms because I can’t stand long sleeves.  They are annoying and make my wrists uncomfortable.

Now, if you thought you had a right to other people’s bare arms you’d be mistaken because that crosses the line of personal property.  It would be they same if someone tried to steal the bear arms I recently acquire from a Grizzly.  You can’t have them!!! It’s my right!!!

I can hear it now.  ”hey those bears have a right to their own arms”!!!  Sure, but if I want them, I’m going to go get them because of the whole animal to human hierarchy thing that makes me the more intelligent species.

Bear arms come in handy.  I like to go camping and used them to scratch sleeping campers tents.  Further, it’s fun to unzip the tent and just reach around inside with the bear arms while snorting.  Or if I don’t feel like that kind of entertainment, I could just stay home and snuggle with them.  Much better than the bear arms that snuggled me during time in prison but that is a different story entirely.

They could also come in handy at public forms, like say, a debate about the constitution.  All of those human arms in the air awaiting the chance to expound stupid opinions and ideas would be no match to the grizzly arm waving to the sound of “ooh ooh ooh, me next”!!!!

Here is a picture that I just drew to illustrate my point:

Yes it is for sale.

First world problems

By Love, Art & Fear

 

I hear a lot of people bitching.  I live in Canada.  My brother in sister in the U.S.  I have friends in England and New Zealand.  They hear this bitching echo as well.  It is a strange phenomenon stemming from a culture of spoiled fucking brats.

 

 

Here are some comparisons between real problems and first world problems:

 

First world; A transgender man is bitching because he is not allowed to be a leader of a breastfeeding group.  The organization defines a breastfeeding leader as a woman and “he” wants to change the definition.  Is this a case of “buyers remorse”?

 

Third world; you are hiding in a boat in Somalia watching your brothers being beheaded hoping they don’t see you.

 

First world; your Starbucks coffee is cold.

 

Third world; your 11-year-old son just came home from a 12 hour shift and hands you the $0.14 he made.

 

First world;  you can’t shower this morning because the utility company is fixing a water main break and your water is brown.

 

Third world; no water and you are surrounded by vultures waiting in the trees.

 

First world; your car ran out of gas and you grumble about paying $65 dollars to fill the tank.

 

Third world; A bunch of people from the U.S., Canada and Britain just stole your country’s oil reserves and killed your people.

 

First world;   “oh no!!!  Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be splitting up”!!!

 

Third world;  ”oh no!!!  My newborn daughter was just adopted by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie”!!!

Anyway, I think you get my point.  This list could be endless.  My hope is to make you think about what you have today and don’t take it for granted.  Having worked with refugees intensively, I know for a fact that they appreciate this new land and new privileges they have.  Some still have a hard time believing that they can walk freely across Canada without being arrested or shot.

Oppositional Defiance Disorder

By Love, Art & Fear

The best way to ensure that I will do or attempt to do something is to tell me not to…

“They” call it oppositional defiance disorder, but who are they?  Why do they get to call the shots?  I mean, if you put up things to climb on, kids that love climbing on things like monkeys will do so regardless of your attempts to protect yourself from an insurance perspective.  Why can’t I climb or hang on the goals?  I might fall?  Or is it because some kid climbed on them, as kids do, and fell, breaking his arm and then some over-protective idiot parent took time out of their busy schedule of watching soap operas to contact the city forcing them to put up a sign.

I never had this kind of ridiculous fear surrounding me when I was a kid.  Climbing on things was expected.  Remember the kid that once was you?  Next time you see something climbable….

Climb it.

If you fall, get up and climb something else.

The youth at risk

By Love, Art & Fear

Sometimes, I work with youth at risk.  Sometimes, I laugh at that label while I wonder what youth on Earth isn’t at risk?

I recently attended a training that reminded me that I need to meet the adolescents where they are at without projecting my world view upon them in attempt to manipulate change.  This is all fine and good, but where are these youth at so that I may meet them?  And more importantly, what personal biases stand in my way of greeting them.

In one of our meetings the main program developer reminded us that these youth will always revert to what is familiar when their structure is threatened.  In these cases that familiarity is crisis, chaos and fear.  This means that everything can be going perfectly with your program and the moment that the shit hits the proverbial fan in any way, the youth revert to what is familiar.  Crisis, chaos and fear.

Most of these kids are kind and want to participate but because all that they have known is crisis, chaos and fear, they will react from that place when change occurs or security is threatened.  This is really simple to see but the response to it is the challenge because sometimes they just seem like mean sociopaths.

The challenge for the mentor is to be the opposite of that familiarity.  If crisis is the environmental norm from their upbringing, then you must be the calm and secure.  If chaos is the familiar habitat, then you must represent order in the form of consistency.  If fear is what they are imprinted with, then you must be love in the form of support and encouragement.  And you must be consistent in all of these, all of the time.  That is your challenge as a mentor!

What does this have to do with those of you who don’t work with adolescents at risk?

The world we occupy is an adolescent at risk.  We have to meet the world where it is at and release our attempts at controlling it or enforce change.  Let the world be what it is and you take care of being the opposite of that.  The world is conditioned through crisis, chaos and fear.  That is our pop-media that beams our collective 3rd eye day in and day out.

We have a choice; become the crisis, chaos and fear or become the calm, ordered, consistent love that encourages and supports.  I choose this for myself and for others.  I recognize that when I am confronted with a financial challenge, my bias is to panic because this is what I was conditioned to do.  Now, I breathe, stay calm and meet it with love.  At first, it didn’t work but now I am developing a new conditioning.

My own personal revelation in this is that I have for years tried to mold or manipulate the world into what I thought it should, could or world be and I was so frustrated in this action.  The reality was that I never felt complete because I was projecting incompletion onto the world.  The world is crisis, chaos and fear.  I must accept the world for where it is and be the calm, consistent love.  Sometimes this is simple.  Sometimes, I have a challenge on my hands.  It is becoming easier though.

If you believe that you are exempt from this truth, then you are deluded.

The social engineers know very well about Ocular and Associative conditioning on our Autonomic Nervous System, we would all be wise to wake up to this but most of us our just comfortable accepting our habitual bias as fact.  It is not, of this I assure you.

Our self-image is created 100% by what we accept to believe about ourselves and the world is what it is.  In fact, the reality is neutral and we charge it with our account.  So to speak.
