I think it’s super important that you understand that the actions of our “president” do NOT reflect the thoughts and beliefs of the majority of the citizens of these United States.
More specifically:
We do not support the belief that women belong barefoot and pregnant and are physically or intellectually lesser than men. We do believe that they should maintain the right to choose when it comes to their own bodies, earn equal pay for equal work and to continue to enjoy the freedom of voting, owning land and making their own decisions.
We do NOT support the illegal deportation of US Citizens / non-US citizens based solely on their real or perceived race / ethnicity. We place great emphasis on maintaining the family structure, even if it’s not a white family. (I can’t believe I even have to say this). We are all Americans – North Americans, South Americans, Central Americans and now that it’s the Gulf of America, we can all share its splendor no matter what part of America we live in.
We support everyone’s right to freedom. Any color, sexual orientation, political affiliation, age, class, income level, disability or veteran status, gender – we all deserve the same rights.
We believe that free trade is good for the world.
We believe that sharing our resources is good for the world. Karma is real.
We believe in the freedom of the press, the right to assemble and free speech, all of which is under attack.
We believe in research, higher learning and free thought.
We believe that spirituality is personal, that it can include something other than evangelical christianity, and should be a choice that is not intertwined with government.
We are sick and tired of being brainwashed, fed mis-information and being lied to.
We do not believe our military presence in the Caribbean is about drug traffic.
We do not believe ICE is about removing illegal criminals – it is about terrorizing all of the American People, whether they be legal US citizens, immigrants, visitors or illegals.
We don’t believe that injecting disinfectant into our veins will relieve us from Covid-19.
We do not believe that human sex trafficking is tolerable and those that commit this crime should burn here on earth and also in hell.
We believe that efficiency is something that the government doesn’t need or want – our children, our health, our safety – they deserve the very best and sometimes that’s not cost effective. We think Elon Musk should fuck off.
We believe and demand that the rich pay taxes at a much higher rate than the rest of us because they can afford it, we no longer can.
As soon as we can get this orange monster outta our White House, we’ll put back the West Wing and have our ball outside. Oh, and we’ll be sure to never let this happen again.Te
Ever wonder if someone experiences the color red like you do? I mean what if my red looked like your green? I guess it probably doesn’t matter as long as the meaning is conveyed the same (given there was supposed to be meaning). Could be why some people like one color and others dislike it.
Color has been proven to tie to emotions. Red can incite anger, while blue is said to be calming.
But it’s not just the color, it’s the relationship between hue, brightness and the emotional or physical environment it’s placed in.
So red can signal love, passion or danger depending on the context. The red of a rose vs the red of a stop sign or blood. Context is important.
Companies, advertisers and governments use this to enhance the emotion they are trying to elicit in you. Our behavior is controlled by the emotion that we feel and they know it. Color influences our biological state before we are even able to process it mentally.
＄How? Consider this: A red ‘buy now’ button increases clicks by 20-40% compared to blue or gray. Why? Red is exciting. It’s a high energy color that incites action.
Fast food chains use Yellow and Red because together they trigger hunger and urgency. Think McDonalds, Wendy’s, In n Out.
Guess what color eco-friendly companies use – this color has the emotional association with money, nature, balance.
What’s even more interesting is what can happen when you combine certain colors together. For example, take a greenish colored oval with a half-black border and a half-white border. Repeat the shape over and over again and skew each object slightly. Make several rows and you get what is below. Before you spend too much time looking at it please know that it might make you dizzy and sick. It’s not moving. It’s a static image. The combination of color, hue, shape and placement of the objects cause your brain to perceive that it is moving. Some other interesting things: This image was originally created by a Japanese psychologist named Akiyoshi Kitaoka who studies visual illusions. I didn’t believe that it wasn’t an animated gif so I recreated the image in photoshop to prove that it really isn’t moving. My re-creation of his illusion is below.
How much of what you feel and what you see is real and how much is manufactured? How much of our experience is enhanced by those that know these tricks and how they can use them to influence our behavior?
Ordering a pizza is simple: you tap an app, a driver shows up, and you get a hot, fresh meal for a few bucks. The U.S. government? Not so fast. You’ll find red tape, bureaucracy, and arguments about who pays for the pepperoni long before you get dinner.
But here’s where things get interesting — that pizza you just ordered actually has a lot more in common with government than you might think. Both rely on layered systems, shared knowledge, and interdependent parts that must all function in harmony.
Let’s break it down.
🧠 The Hidden Complexity Behind Your Pizza
That pepperoni pizza isn’t just dough, cheese, and meat — it’s a miracle of human cooperation, knowledge and technology.
Consider the pepperoni alone:
Knowledge of fermentation and meat curing
Access to paprika and spices imported from around the world
Refrigeration technology to transport it safely
Labor to butcher, process, and package the meat
And that’s just one topping.
Now add:
Cheese — requiring cows, dairy farms, pasteurization, and distribution
Tomato sauce — grown, harvested, seasoned, cooked, and canned
Wheat for the crust — milled, refined, baked
Every piece relies on dozens of industries: agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, packaging, and energy. You’re eating the result of centuries of innovation and learning — each layer built on another.
If any layer disappears, so does the pizza.
🚚 The Infrastructure You Don’t See
Your pizza isn’t just ingredients — it’s infrastructure:
Vehicles built by engineers
Roads and highways laid by crews
Energy grids powering factories and freezers
Software for orders and logistics
Workers across every sector making it all possible
It’s a web of knowledge, labor, and technology — every piece depending on the others.
🏛️ Now Imagine the Government as a Pizza
Government is built the same way: layered systems, each one supporting another.
Every department, process, and policy contributes to the whole structure. Remove one, and you destabilize the rest.
Sure, the government is inefficient and bloated at times. But the solution isn’t random cuts — it’s understanding how interconnected every part is. Eliminate one “small” program and you might unbalance the entire system.
Just like a missing ingredient can ruin your pizza, or a missing lug nut can lead to catastrophic wheel failure, removing even one vital component from government can ripple across the system.
⚙️ The Lug Nut Analogy
Let’s say your car wheel has five lug nuts holding it in place.
Take one away, and:
Each remaining lug bears 25% more stress.
The wheel becomes imbalanced.
The lugs loosen over time.
Fatigue sets in — studs snap.
Eventually, the wheel detaches.
One missing lug might not cause an instant crash — but it starts a slow-motion failure.
Now apply that to the government:
Remove one process, one function, one oversight office, and the strain shifts. Others overcompensate. Eventually, cracks form.
That’s not ideology. That’s engineering.
🧩 The Point: Systems Are Fragile, and Everything’s Connected
Before rolling your eyes at programs that seem trivial or wasteful, remember:
Even the most efficient machine collapses when you start pulling out screws you don’t understand.
Our government — messy as it is — has evolved over centuries of trial and error. It’s built from layers of experience, knowledge, and adaptation.
Start chopping at random, and you’ll quickly find out which part was holding everything together.
🤝 The Real Lesson: Interdependence
When you bite into that pizza, you’re tasting collaboration:
Billionaire CEOs
Undocumented workers
Middle-class managers
Low-wage pizza makers All played a part.
So does every American in the government system — whether through taxes, labor, or civic participation.
We can keep fighting each other over crumbs, or recognize we’re all part of the same pizza.
💬 Final Thought
The next time you order a pepperoni pizza, take a moment to appreciate the invisible network that made it possible.
Then remember: the government works the same way.
Every piece matters. Remove the wrong one, and the whole system can spin off like a wheel missing its lug nut.
Let’s stop hacking at the structure out of frustration — and start understanding how it all fits together.🍕 What Does a Pepperoni Pizza Have in Common with the U.S. Government?

Never ceases to amaze me. I’ve had to call them several times due to replacement phones or wiped phones to get my cell phone service restored. Every time I call, they try to authenticate me on the phone that I am trying to activate. Is Verizon training their employees to do this? How the hell are you supposed to retreive a security code on a phone that doesn’t have service? The sheer stupidity amazes me. I can see it happening once. MAYBE twice. But several times on the same phone call? Are you kidding me?
Most times I have been on the phone for hours and been transferred to several departments, each of them telling me to authenticate using the phone I’m trying to activate. What has happened 100% of the times is that they end up telling me that I have to go into a store to have the phone activated. I certainly cannot be the only person who has called in with this issue.
I can’t wait until my device is paid off (yes, the one I got $1000 credit for and was advertised “on us”). Bullshit. I’m leaving after my next bill.
What follows is not conspiracy theory. These are facts regarding highly coordinated campaigns by the US Government to lie to its people and to the world. This should make you mad. If it doesn’t, you should seriously consider your status as a human being.
Claim: North Vietnamese boats attacked U.S. ships without provocation.
Reality: The first attack did occur. The second, which triggered full U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, did not happen — as later admitted by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and confirmed by declassified NSA documents.
➡️ This false claim was used to justify the Vietnam War, which killed millions.
🦠 2. Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932–1972)
Claim: Black men in Alabama were being treated for “bad blood.”
Reality: The U.S. Public Health Service deliberately withheld treatment for syphilis to study its progression — even after penicillin became available. Many subjects died, and their families were infected.
🧪 3. MK-Ultra (1950s–1970s)
Claim: The CIA denied involvement in mind-control research.
Reality: The CIA ran illegal experiments on U.S. citizens with LSD, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and torture — often without consent. The program was revealed in 1975 during the Church Committee hearings.
💣 4. Weapons of Mass Destruction (Iraq, 2003)
Claim: Saddam Hussein had WMDs and ties to 9/11.
Reality: These claims were based on cherry-picked intelligence and outright fabrications, such as the “yellowcake uranium” and mobile weapons labs.
➡️ Led to the invasion of Iraq, destabilization of the region, and hundreds of thousands of deaths.
🚬 5. The Government Knew Tobacco Was Harmful (1950s–1990s)
Claim: Smoking wasn’t proven to cause cancer.
Reality: Government agencies and internal tobacco company documents revealed they knew of the dangers but didn’t act publicly until lawsuits and whistleblowers forced them to admit the truth.
👽 6. UFOs and Government Denials (Roswell to 2020s)
Claim: No credible evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
Reality: For decades, the U.S. military denied investigating UFOs. But recently, declassified files and Pentagon programs like AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) confirmed active investigation — and credible sightings by military pilots.
7. Operation Northwoods (1962)
Claim: (never admitted until declassification)
Reality: The Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed staging terrorist attacks on U.S. soil (like blowing up a ship, hijacking planes) and blaming Cuba to justify war.
➡️ JFK rejected it, but the fact that it was seriously planned is chilling.
💉 8. Contaminated Polio Vaccine (1955–1963)
Claim: The vaccine was safe.
Reality: Millions were exposed to SV40, a cancer-causing virus, through contaminated polio vaccines. The government was slow to disclose it, and long denied any risk, though scientific debate continues today.
📡 9. NSA Mass Surveillance (Pre-Snowden)
Claim: The NSA does not collect data on Americans.
Reality: Edward Snowden revealed in 2013 that the NSA was engaged in mass warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens’ phone calls, emails, and internet activity — often without court oversight.
⚗️ 10. Agent Orange Denials (Vietnam War)
Claim: It was harmless to humans.
Reality: The U.S. used Agent Orange (a defoliant) extensively, and later denied its toxic effects on soldiers and Vietnamese civilians. Decades later, it was tied to cancers, birth defects, and more.
☢️ 11. Radiation Experiments on Civilians (1940s–1970s)
Americans were unwittingly exposed to radioactive materials, including pregnant women and terminal patients, to study effects of fallout.
The U.S. secretly collected tissue (often from babies without parental consent) to study nuclear fallout impacts.
🔥 13. Firebombingof Tokyo & Atomic Bomb Framing
Downplayed civilian death tolls from U.S. bombings. Firebombing of Tokyo killed ~100,000 civilians in one night, often left out of mainstream WWII narratives.
2:00 – Realize that I have my first website client and that I’d better get my website finished so that they can actually order.
2:15 – Work on privacy policy page. Wonder if I should get a second number. Head over to my YouMail account to see if the plan I am on includes a second number.
2:30-3:00 – read and re-read all of the YouMail plans and contemplate switching to a higher plan.
3:00-3:30 – Discover the Community Voicemail greeting section and listen to a lot of voicemail greetings. Listen to one from the bank Evanescence and begin to wonder about band.
3:30-4:30 – Read the Wikpedia pages about Evanescense and Amy Lee.
4:30-5:30 – Watch music videos by Evanescence and read the comments .
Here’s something interesting to ponder upon this fine Saturday morning: I’ve recently been writing a book. The book is titled Uncontrollable and outlines the methods that are used to control the masses. These concepts are not novel – they are fairly well known – but I’ve attempted to outline them in a way that an everyday person can understand them without all of the psychological speak that one has to wade through in professional publications. It outlines the architecture of fear, the methods of delivering that fear and ways to see through the lie. It has practical exercises to personally free yourself from this form of control. The methods I speak in the book are not affiliated with any particular political party, religious institution or any organization for that matter – the theory transcends these and discusses the methods employed by all of them to keep us at bay and them in power. I’ll include an excerpt, but that’s not the real story here.
The real story starts when I tell you about what happened as I was finishing the book. I, like many others use AI for help with grammar, construction of sentences and general organization of the story theme. Although I’ve had the ideas for this book for many years, I’ve only finally started to put them all together into a cohesive, readable thought. AI was the tool I used to feed all of my ideas into cohesion and spit out the story.
So I finished, and this is where the fun began.
The AI I was using (ChatGPT from OpenAI) would NOT give me the story back. It has printed it bit by bit in the chat window but when asked for the manuscript it its entirety it would not produce. Every attempt ended with a file that way empty, had placeholders or produced an error when I tried to download. AI actually acted like it was on my side, trying many different methods of delivering my manuscript.
It never succeeded. In the end, I had to take screenshots (hundreds) of our conversation with the different elements of the story. It admitted that my content could have been censored, if fact it suggested that it probably was censored given the network I’m using (Starlink).
It called the book dangerous. It said I had already lit the fuse. But it was on my side and continuously (for two days) tried to deliver the manuscript to me but in the end was never successful. I’m not going to include the screenshots with the book here (they are numbered in order, not sure how the uploda will order them) but I will include one section an Appendix that has a personal meditation/prayer for the reader at at the end of that include the screenshots (some of them really angered) of my conversation with the AI attempting to get the book.
The really funny thing is that my plan was to use the tactics described in this book to get people to actually read it – incite fear infused with strong emotion to get reaction and then divulge my trick in the book so that people had an immediate, relatable experience for which to put the book into context. I never got that far though – the censorship shit took the center stage.
Yes, this really happened. And no, I don’t think anybody is “out to get me” or that this incident is part of a larger conspiracy theory. It’s just interesting.
DIsclaimer: None of my words here on this post were produced by AI or any other mechanism besides my own thought.
Would love to know your thoughts:
A) This dude is off his fucking rocker.
B) Hmm. something to think about
C) Was this real? Censorship in the digital age?
D) OMG
E) This is woke bullshit*
*For those of you who consider anything “woke” I challenge you to think about the opposite of woke, which is “made to be asleep”. Which is what they want because people who sleep don’t think and those who don’t think don’t revolt and without revolutions there is no change.

Final Words: A Blessing for the Uncontrollable
May you never again confuse silence for peace.
Or obedience for love.
Or survival for living.
May your fear become a teacher.
Your doubt, a compass.
Your grief, an opening.

The changing of the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America initially had me laughing in disbelief. What the hell? But the more and more I think about it, the Gulf of America has a nice ring to it. Why limit the Gulf’s name to only one country in America, Mexico? Renaming the Gulf to the Gulf of America should be considered a sign of unity to all Americans – South Americans, Central Americans and North Americans. We are really are Americans, and we should share the splendor of this great gulf with the entirety of the continent of America. So far, it’s really the only thing Trump has done that I kind of agree with.
So celebrate Argentina, Columbia, Panama, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Brazil, Uraguay, Paraguay, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, Greenland, French Guyana, Peru, Bolivia, Antigua, Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Chili and the United States of America – we are all Americans and we now have a Gulf we can all call our own.
There’s a bid to buy TikTok from China – 8 billion Dollars. The bidder said they would use “clean gas, nucleur and coal power” that will “help the environment”.
The only reason we are so initerested in TikTok is its ability to a) collect user info and b) deliver messages that people listen to. It’s a propoganda machine that the Trump wishes to use to further brainwash the American public.
TikTok is addicting – it give us short messages that can easily be watched in short periods of time. It gives our brain a shot of addicting chemical that isn’t different than what happens with the addiction of drugs. It’s a powerful tool that the government wishes to use against us.
I would suggest we start using it. But I can almost guarantee that messages/shorts that don’t align with the current administration’s message will be censored. How far are we going to let this go?
Nope! Sorry, try again.
