The stigmas that have been attached to such terms as "republicans" and "conservatives" by the "liberals" are, in my opinion, inaccurate and undeserved. Such blanket statements serve to shed a negative light on all who hold certain virtues at a high regard. However, to be clear, not all who are considered to be "conservative" necessarily fall under this inaccurate category. There are certain standards and core beliefs that are upheld by the right wing faction that are not only completely valid but, also, just as American as Thomas Jefferson or Martin Luther King, Jr. The segregation that exist between liberals and conservatives or democrats and republicans today is too reminiscent of the conflict between democracy and autocracy. And when high profile and influential republicans who are labeled as conservative and consider themselves to be spout outlandish rhetoric and propositions that are beyond the spectrum of "conservative", the implications unfairly give a bad name to all those who hold these core beliefs at a high regard.
Though I myself am not conservative nor do I think it possible for me to be misconstrued as such, I certainty don't see anything wrong with the basic values that any so-called conservative holds dear. Although I don't believe that it is the responsibility of the nation's populous to pay for the clean up of a mess that was caused by it's government, I also do not believe it is the nation's government's responsibility to ensure prosperity for all who reside within its borders. It is every man's own personal responsibility to provide for himself and his family. Certainly I do believe in basic protections afforded by the nation's government. Weather through fault of his own or through the fault of extenuating circumstances it is a universal truth that every man will fall on hard times throughout the tenure of his lifetime; some harder than others. I do believe that a man in the throws of a crisis should be able to turn to his government for reasonable access to resources and a helping hand. I do not, however, think that a man should rely on his government as a means to sustain his own standard of living. The reliability on the government of a man must be one of temporary and short lived terms. However, the likelihood of completely eliminating long term government reliance by all citizen's for the purposes of welfare is non-existent; and understandably so. There will always be unforeseen contingencies that will cripple the ability of a citizen to conventionally provide for self; and so goes life as we know it. There will always be those whom, for one reason or another, are not able to enter or re-enter the work force so welfare and social security become the primary means of survival. But there will always be people who recognize and wish to exploit the opportunity to gain finance with as minimal of effort as possible.
Essentially speaking, however, the term conservative can be defined as traditional in manner, avoiding novelty or showiness and cautiously moderate. In other words, modest, humble, conventional, proper and reserved. I certainly don't see anything wrong with any of these adjectives. Though I myself can hardly be described using any of them, I definitely respect them as virtues, and can respect anyone who holds them as such. But for a word with such respectable origins, it's connotation has become almost a cause for conflict amongst an entire subculture. I see no reason for the term “conservative” to be synonymous with “fascist”, “conformist”, “authoritarian”, “totalitarian” or “asshole”.

This year in the US alone over 17,500 people will be trafficked for the purposes of forced labor. More than half of them will be forced into sexual servitude through coercion, drug & alcohol addiction, physical violence, threats towards family and loved ones, blackmail, isolation or other means captivity. Though not all pimps are involved in the practice of sex trafficking, the most common types of people engaged in human trafficking are pimps. Pimps are typically the predators that are preying on and subsequently trading, buying, selling, importing, exporting, coercing and forcing unwilling participation of their victims in the sex industry. In today's society the term "pimp" has managed to carry a positive connotation. In actuality, the majority of pimps are nothing more that slave owners. That being said, if you hear or are in anyway of the understanding that I have referred to myself as or in any other way projected the word "pimp" to somehow be complimentary or self affirming, please call me on it. After all, how can I fight for liberty while advocating slavery? Hypocrisy is the strongest tool any oppressor has in order to maintain oppression. I do not wish to oppress, I wish liberate.

Day after day, night after night Americans are bombarded with advertisements. These seemingly harmless, attractive, emotion evoking tools of enticement are everywhere. From TV ads telling us what to eat to magazine ads telling us what to drive. Billboards telling us what to wear and radio commercials telling us what to think. Movies with suggestive uses of whatever brand name happens to be fashionable at the time. Catch phrases and slogans that are associated with a certain product being repeated over and over again to the point of embedment in the minds of its "victims" that upon purchasing the product, the lifestyle being revered in the slogan is, more or less, inevitable. Egos and self respect are under a constant state of scrutiny by the one-up-manship of status symbols. Alas, all of this is just the obvious forms of mind control; the more evident of the measures that America's elitists go to in order to circumvent the Constitution for personal gain. Be assured, however, that the extent of these measures does not stop at tireless marketing campaigns and continuous onslaughts against the American public's social class standing. In fact, quite the contrary; that's only where it starts. It continues with our children.
The message that children all over America receive from the 1st day they walk into school is that if they don't excel, and stand out in elementary school and high school then they won't get into a good college, they won't get a good job and will, subsequently, have to struggle they're whole lives. Throughout the tenure of every single child's school career the emphasis placed on getting into college takes precedence above all other of life's goals. The so called "American Dream" seems to hinge, largely in part, on whether or not a person goes to and finishes college. Now before I continue I'd like to make one thing unequivocally clear. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, against hard work or the constant and infinite pursuit of knowledge and truth. I fully advocate, support and practice both concepts. The improvement of one's self worth and quality of life is indeed inevitable through the utilization of both. Unfortunately, however, there exist persons whom possess an over abundance of wealth, power, control and worst of all, greed who are also aware of this universal truth. Why is this unfortunate? Because it is greed that motivates these insidious powers to exploit this universal truth in a futile attempt to satisfy such a provocative lust for capital gain. But with such an intense desire comes the need for provisions in order for the greed to be able to continue to thrive. And what could better provide for greed than power and control. The tools provided by the puppet master for the puppet's use in the ultimate quest for that, quite literally, all mighty dollar. But what of proof? Are these accusations merely the rantings of a scorned, lower class peon who was unfortunate enough to be dealt another one of life's unforgiving hands? Hardly. These are the observations, contemplation and thusly, revelations of America's "pride and joy". A white, blonde haired, blue eyed male from the Minnesota heartland. The proof, although extensive, is quite simple. Following the ring of logic and , of course, the money, one can't help but come to this same conclusion. I submit for your consideration yet another one of America's elitist conspiracies.
In order for a dynasty to thrive it must secure successors, the ultimate heirs to ensure the continuity of sovereignty. The easiest and most impressionable target to this end is quite obviously children. Once children reach a certain age their required by law to be enrolled in school, no matter if public or private. Once enrolled in school children are taught that the ultimate educational goal is college by teachers, faculty, tutors, mentors, role models and even their parents. Why? Is society that concerned with the success of the child? Maybe... But why? Because the majority of students who attend college are only able to do so with financial assistance i.e. a loan from the bank. Loans are only given because banks make money on them through interest. So the higher the loan the more money the bank makes. And while the cost of college sky rockets so does the profit the banks are making. So why not just stop cementing this notion into the minds of children and instead merely make suggestions that the option is available to them should they choose it? Well because the capital gain to be made from suggestive reasoning is a fraction of what's to be made from cognitive programming, conditioning and mind control. However, cognitive conditioning only works if its sustained throughout a substantial period of time, say 12 years, but there in lies a conundrum. Since the man behind the curtain must remain behind the curtain the question of how to achieve this still stands to be answered. But its so simple. The answer is to control the institutions in which the children's minds are formed. But the majority of these institutions are controlled by the government and run thusly. So the answer is to ultimately control that which controls the institutions and that way, the man behind the curtain is able to achieve and maintain the desired effect without exposing himself.
Now, with great money comes great evil. And so the cycle begins again. The mind that was brainwashed through elementary school has become a slave to that brainwashing in college through the loans that provisioned the possibility of a "higher education". So what exactly is the institution in which this "higher education" afforded, benefiting from the brainwashing and slavery of the mind? The answer to that lies with those whom were enslaved before and, in fact, still are enslaved. The only difference between the first generation of slavery and the second is that the first generation has jumped through every hoop his master laid before him and thus proved himself an obedient slave enough so that the ties that bind him are given a little more slack than his fellow and following slaves and subsequently he is given rank over them. In other words, middle management. Middle management are the alumni of these post secondary institutions and their generous donations to their alma mater will continue as long as the institutions continue to inflate costs.
So as it now stands we can see where the cycle begins. A young mind is required by federal law to go to school for a minimum of 12 years. Throughout the duration of said 12 years the mind is conditioned to believe that college is key to succeeding in life.
In fact, the conditioning is so effective that in 2010, of the 3.2 million high school youth that graduated in the 2010 year only 1 million did not register for or enroll in some kind of post secondary education program. That's not including the ones who decided to take some time off and attend a year or so later. And due to the outrageous and ever rising cost of post secondary education virtually 99% of the American families that have children enrolled in college cannot possibly afford to pay its entirety out of their own pockets. So now that over half of the minds that were brainwashed for 12 years have voluntarily clasped the shackles of student loans to their own wrists, the financial conservatory to which the other end of these shackles are attached have now secured their reign and are starting to see the return on their "investment", right? Right! But it doesn't stop there. Remember, the thirst of greed is an inquenchable harpee. After this once innocent and impressionable young mind is molded to the image that is mirrored by its predecessor and he is deemed worthy to walk across a stage, receive an arbitrary, rolled up piece of paper and shake the dean's hand, the mind is no longer considered a yearling one and is finally awarded the freedom for which he's worked so hard, isn't he? Well now this is generally where that young impressionable mind realizes it had struck a deal with the devil and it is now the mind's turn to hold up his end of the bargain. He must return all dividends previously afforded to him and also pay the devil for affording it to him in the first place. But how? Well thank goodness for that arbitrary piece of paper. Now he can go out and show it to someone and they'll pay him the money tomorrow for work that he'll gladly do today. However, the math from the wage he's promised and the math from the wage he receives do not match. This is because the people that control the institution from which the mind was initially brainwashed are now telling him that he must pay a second master from whence he is allowed the privilege to labor for the means to repay his debt to his first master, the government. But wait, if the government controls the institution in which the mind was brainwashed, and the man who is behind the curtain and who must remain behind the curtain is in control of that which controls the brainwashing institution as a means to that end, one is left to wonder how the man behind the curtain is able to control the government. Well that, my fellow conspiracy theorists, is the easiest answer so far. The money. The capital that is gained from the enslavement of the American people is used to bribe those who hold the pens that write the laws. The bribes are made so that the pens write laws to favor and benefit those who made the bribes and allow them to engage in scrupulous behavior (usually with outcome of attaining more money) without suffering any consequences. So now stands the question of what does government puppeteering have to do with conditioning the minds of American youth.
Once a mind is shaped by a certain concept the expansion possibilities of said concept are nearly infinite and therefore a mere exercise in simplicity. So, if a mind has been being shaped to the approval of its upper echelons since childhood, the task of convincing this mind of any other related concepts is halved and yet another exercise in simplicity. In other words, getting a slave to follow his master's command is much easier if he has already been taught to obey his master, but enough of stating the obvious. So the manipulation of the master convinces the mind that he, too, can be master and the mind is instantly so stimulated by the perception of escaping the oppression of its current master's thumb that immediately the mind is lured into a state of ownership over its successors. Now that the false sense of superiority over the next generation of slaves has bolstered this mind's ego, it feels a responsibility to guide the following generation's future towards the preservation of a concept so intricately planned that, if publicized, it could only be deemed as a conspiracy... hence its preservation. And so restarts the cycle of the world's only sovereign democracy, the American government.

In 2004, model homemaker, domestic arts aficionado, TV personality and business mogul Martha Stewart was indicted and sentenced to 5 months in prison for insider trading. Insider trading is the trading of corporate stocks by individuals possessing knowledge regarding the corporation's financial standing, projected business ventures, growth and development, etc. that is not readily available to the public. Insider trading, as the Martha Stewart incident suggests, is also very illegal; unless you happen to belong to congress. On November 13, 2011 60 Minutes did a report on congress, insider trading and the profits that are being made by this practice that would otherwise land citizens like you or me in prison. The time that is meant for legislators to spend working towards making this country better is actually being spent towards making the afore mentioned legislators' pocket books fatter. The people who make the law are the people who, not only do not need to abide by it but, set specific laws in place that favor them over the "average working man" for actions that are considered illegal, but if only if done by the "average working man". That's right...you heard me, insider trading by congress according to the laws they've set in place, is perfectly legal. In fact, as of today, the average net worth for any given member of congress is about $3.8 million. At a time when the stock market is at its lowest point since the depression, congress' collective net worth has risen by 25% and by law it is perfectly legit. The truth is simple, the American political system just doesn't work anymore; it trades stock. When it comes to the American government, title doesn't just dictate behavior, it dictates consequences, benefits and double standards.

Who or what do you think about when hear the word "dependence"? Is your mind suddenly drawn to someone with severe mental disabilities who needs to be spoon fed every meal and can't even wipe their own ass? Or how about a young child who has to have his mom dress him in the morning and tell him when its time to go to bed? What or who do you think about when you hear the word "slavery"? I bet some people instantly picture Lavar Burton getting his foot cut off while others are imagining the scorching hot plantations filled with men, women and children of all ages and shades of black pick cotton off the thorny, unforgiving stem while massuh lays in the shade with a lemonade in one hand and whip in the other. Or maybe some of you have even had the presence of mind to wake up and realize that slavery didn't end in 1863 and still exists to this day so you picture a giant, tin freight container on a loading dock filled with Filipino women of all ages with a look of confusion mixed with panic spread across their collective faces. Well I'm not here to tell any of you that you're wrong or misguided or even ignorant. Everyone of these images that I just illustrated are very real and very accurate. However, allow me, if you will, to illustrate some alternative yet still very real scenarios and in the process draw some comparisons to the former ones and...well...the rest I'll leave up to you to figure out.
Think for a minute what would happen to you, your welfare and your family if you one day decided to stop working. You wouldn't eat, your family wouldn't eat, you wouldn't have shelter from the elements and nothing to cover your naked body. You would have no social status, no respect (self or otherwise) and no dignity. Conversely, you could do exactly what massuh, society or the government dictates that you must and you'll be permitted to"live". But what defines "living"? Is it spending time with friends and family, buying a big house, lots of fun toys, going on vacations, and getting to retire with a fat pension, 401K and IRA that you're still obligated to hand over part of to the government and the rest to the bank for all those loans you got when you wanted to start your "American Dream"? And you could choose to just not pay it off but what are ramifications of that? Bad credit, phone calls day and night from creditors, any number of revocations and suspensions, garnished wages even jail. Is it working at the same job for 40 years with no advancement and the minimum yearly raise only to be in the same tax racket you were in the first year of the job and being forced to retire with a minimum pension and social security that's barely enough to cover the bills and STILL having to pay taxes on it? Well none of that would be a reason to worry if you just had more money, right? It just seems you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. Either way, they got you. The government has their hand in one of your pockets and the bank has their hand in the other. So no longer do they needs chains to hold you down. Capitalism becomes the ultimate tool of enslavement and embodies the very essence of dependence. Slavery by way of whips, chains, plantations and trades may have been outlawed in 1863 but the act of enslavement is still very legal and very alive in this country. They've merely substituted sizing up your physical attributes to determine your monetary worth with sizing up the attributes of you credit to determine the very same. Bank and governments are not concerned with personality or content of character. The hand life dealt you or your ability to play it accounts for exactly zero. In other words, your word is no good and means nothing to the ear of another master. The story must come from the mouth of your current master in order for it to be considered valid. Your so called "sob story" has no bearing on any decision they make regarding your worth. But does your current master know you as an individual? He only knows you as well as he could know any of his millions of other slaves; by what the piece of paper in front of him tells him. So how do they keep us locked in these chains of capitalism once we've figured it out? Well that's easy, the answer is a recession, a war and a multi-billion dollar bail out for companies who's CEOs give themselves double bonuses and create thousands of job and pay cuts in order to do so. Then come the loans and the sub prime rate crimes taking advantage of the public's widespread desperation that was intentionally created to instill a sense of fear, panic and necessary reliance on the chains that bind you. They become a security blanket, a comfort zone, a deep sigh of relief. And all of this is only supported and confirmed by the economic practices of the government when your fears are confirmed by the knowledge of the only way new capital is introduced into the economy; through loans. Loans from your new master with rates determined by you previous master. The independence of the American people was not declared in 1776. Their dependence was merely transferred from the ownership of the British government to that of the American government.

The UN's convention against torture defines torture as: "Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions." Dictionary.com defines it as: "1. extreme pain 2. the infliction of great pain, especially. for punishment or coercion 3. Extreme anguish of body or mind.
The UN's Convention on Torture also specifically mentions "waterboarding" as a form of torture. A practice in which the US hung Japanese soldiers for employing on POWs during WWII. So why is it ok for the US to employ the same "enhanced interrogation" tactics on suspected terrorists in order to gain information on the whereabouts of a US trained terrorist group leader? The answer is simple... Its not. Torture is a crime no matter who tries to justify it and for whatever reason. Former VP Dick Chaney openly admitted to using "waterboarding" on national television in order to "to obtain important information" on Osama Bin Laden. A feat that proved futile in the end as the information that was obtained was gathered through more "conventional interrogation" tactics. Please either follow or copy and paste the link below and tell the world to hold the Bush on trial before the ICC for committing crimes of torture.

If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, What Is A Video Worth?
What "In Plane Site" accomplishes that no other video expose' on September 11th has to date, is it exposes the viewer to a barrage of news clips from a majority of the mainstream news outlets. The official story of that day was told on live TV by reporters, policemen, firefighters, and other on-the-scene eyewitnesses, however, that footage was shown only once on live television broadcasts in the first hours of the attacks and then... it was never repeated. The stories changed, information was enigmatically omitted, and what can only be described as officially prescribed propaganda took the place of indisputable reality.
THE PENTAGON: Some of the most damning evidence surrounding the attack on the Pentagon centers about substantial and incontrovertible video and photographic evidence which insights viewers to ask crucial and essential questions. After all, the laws of physics cannot be suspended or can they?

One question many viewers ask is, "why was America and the rest of the world not shown the video footage and the photographs of the Pentagon, BEFORE the outer wall had collapsed?" Many people do not realize that the outer wall of the Pentagon did not collapse until 20 minutes after the initial impact of what we were told was a Boeing 757.

Upon examining these photographs, one can clearly see a hole, which is only 16 feet in diameter. This begs the question: "How can a Boeing 757 which is over 44 feet in height and 124 feet in width simply disappear without a trace into a hole that is only 16 ft. in diameter? Also, why is there no external damage to the Pentagon where the wings and the tail section would have impacted with the outer wall?
Contrary to the video footage shown to the American public, photographs taken only moments after the impact show no wreckage on the lawn of the Pentagon. Where is the plane? Where are the wings, the tail, the luggage, the seats, the landing gear, and the engines? Most importantly, what happened to the passengers who were aboard that plane?

America remembers the photographs that they were shown of tiny, indiscernible fragments, which were described as pieces of a Boeing 757. Were these fragments of a Boeing 757? Internal photographs of the Pentagon taken by Jocelyn Augustino, a FEMA photographer, do not show engine parts matching the description of a 757's engine turbofan according to John W. Brown, a spokesperson for Rolls Royce. Both Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce manufacture the engines used on these jetliners. The turbofans themselves are approximately 7 feet in diameter. The FEMA photos show what appears to be a single turbofan that is approximately 3 feet in diameter. This better fits the descriptions of eyewitnesses who claim that they saw what could only be described as a commuter plane capable of holding only 8 to 12 passengers. This single piece of evidence also helps support other reports from witnesses such as Lon Rains, editor for "Space News," who was quoted as saying "I heard a very loud, quick whooshing sound.

I was convinced it was a missile. It came in so fast -- it sounded nothing like an airplane." Don Parkal said, "A bomb had gone off. I could smell the cordite. I knew explosives had been set off somewhere." Tom Seibert said, "We heard what sounded like a missile."

37 year old Kelly Thomas was homeless and mentally ill. On July 5, 2011 6 Fullerton police officers beat Thomas within an inch of his life. 5 days later Kelly Thomas lost that inch. Eye witnesses state that Thomas had been tasered 5 times and beaten for 10-15 minutes by the half dozen police officers. Now Chief Michael Sellers and the 6 officers are on leave pending the investigation. However, key footage of the that was captured during this blatant disregard for human rights is being held by Orange County D.A. Tony Rackauchas until the investigation is complete. Fullerton Councilman Bruce Whitaker deems this move objectionable and; fully supports and urges any effort that will result in a clear explanation of the events that led to Thomas' death. He also insisted that any other evidence relating to the incident including audio and any other video be made public
Edward Singh who is a resident of Orange County launched a petition to release the video after the audio of the beating left him heartbroken. "I can still, to this day, hear his voice screaming for his dad while he's being beaten to death."
Please help Kelly Thomas' find justice. Go to www.change.org/petitions/the-ca-state-senate-release-footage-of-kelly-thomas-beating-by-fullerton-police#sign and sign the petition to release the video.

On July 15, 2009 Natalia Estemirova disapeared from outside her home in Chechnya. Later that day her body was found with gun shot wounds. Natalia was one of the leading human rights activists in Russia and exposed numerous human rights violations committed during the second Chechnian conflict. Natalia documented extrajudicial executions, enforced disapearances, torture along with many other human rights violations committed by law-enforcment and other government officials in post-conflict Chechnya. More than 2 years after Natalia's abduction and murder the Russian government has yet to conduct an investigation and her assailents have yet to be brought to justice

if poverty isn't about money, what is it about? Its about human rights. An estimated 1.4 million people will reside in enpoverished neighborhoods by the year 2020. How do we prevent this? By treating all people with equal rights regardless of race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, social class, disability or color

Fair trial for Hosni Mubarak!!!​! It is necessary for the progressio​n of Human Rights. If you are in support of human rights go to Amnesty.or​g and take a stand against injustice
