Loose the Demons Within

Loose the demons within ye,
Fear not while they encircle thee,
For if you don’t you’ll never know
What truly lives inside your soul.

You’ve let them loose and soon you’ll see
What it is that you can be;
Indeed you’ll need to sort things out
and live your life without a doubt.
There’s no changing what we’ve done,
We must learn from where we’ve gone;
Who we are and what we’ve become.
The only life necessity
Is choosing our own destiny;
Setting out to overcome,
We can become anyone.

Truth you learn about yourself
Can’t be found on any shelf.
The power deep within your soul
Can take you where you want to go;
The only way to further growth
Is to take a stand and give an oath
that you’ll move with certainty
and you can change who you will be.
It’s not easy, that’s for sure
but you will indeed mature.
If you’re seeking happiness
Alas, with this: rest your stress.
There is nothing you can see
or buy or touch to set you free.
There is but one truth required
Self satisfaction must be acquired.
Discover this and you will see
Just how happy you can be.

Take it further and you will know
Just how much the world can grow.
Instead of bickering in petty quarrels
We can stop killing and live with good morals.
Let us protect our sovereignty
Did you know you’ve lost civil liberty?
You see while you’ve argued about Abortions,
Scandals, Drugs, and Religious Forces.
In terror you’ve missed what’s most important, see
you’ve failed to protect what makes us free.
Tagged “Patriot” during a media war,
A bill once declined can pass on The Floor
Completely abolishing what we hold dear
while idiots, confused and consumed with fear,
Will force their opinions instead of just fact
With meaningless laws that we should retract.

Completely preoccupied in a screen of smoke,
We’ve forced our opinions, now our system is broke.
We’ve sacrificed all our fathers have left us
And traded it all for war, debt and taxes.
We leave important stuff like accountability,
to a biased and lying “research” committee.
The distortion, fear and covered up importance,
Truly comes from inside this body of governance.
There’s plenty of details you didn’t see,
As they hushed them and rushed them and said “trust me.”
You can’t pay attention while you run and hide,
You’ve been deceived by your own side.
Even if there was an attacker, you see,
Lying to your people is unnecessary.
Now look at it all in retrospect,
We all messed up but, with respect,
We can still research a good portion,
Not the whole truth, but at least some distortion.
Then ask yourself, in all honesty,
“Do I really think those leaders care about me?”
It’s probable that some really do support us,
But their will alone can’t destroy this circus.

If the country were still run constitutionally,
We would actually still be free.
Instead we vote for satanic “Christian” posers
and let baseless wars start right under our noses.
With loaded terms like “Conspiracy”
We’re told these things are simply crazy!
Why do you think elections are hard to decide,
If you act day-to-day like our politicians don’t lie.
It’s talking to each other, that is the key
I’ll listen to you, you listen to me,
Don’t claim It insane if you won’t check and see,
You should admit: that’s just plain blasphemy.

A system designed to move “money” to the top,
While you’re getting robbed for all that you’ve got.
Private companies managing worth of our own sixpence,
But money no longer has value, besides “confidence.”
Economy is rated by spending, you see,
and we’re the ones spending, while they save with greed.
While we spend 100% of our earnings,
They sing and praise our mindless subservience.
Hughes, Rockefeller and Bushes resting above us,
draining our pockets and singing in chorus.
Spending a fraction of what we deliver,
while watching society’s pockets perpetually get slimmer.
Next the fake economy withers and crumbles,
So we print more money “to save the masses”
cycles everlasting in a system of shambles.

Poverty and misery and all that’s distorted,
are illusions from history when man stumbled and horded.
But we’ve progressed far—really far since then,
there is chance to recover, but our minds must bend.
There’s plenty of resources for us all to survive,
And even have homes, water and food for all people alive.
We’re going to have to work hard and strive.
It will take research and unlearning,
departure from this hive,
but satiation of yearning
can still arrive.
Even for trinkets and “meaningless” obsessions,
we have enough tools to destroy this oppression.
We will still work, and still live daily lives,
But we will be honest, without false inflation,
We will distribute goods amongst every nation.
Living in real world economy,
where we no longer think of an enemy.
We can even still live very comfortably,
With items of convenience shared for free.

We just can’t support this stupid economy,
unless we’re wealthy, stupid or we enjoy slavery.
There’s so much more that you deserve,
But they’re holding us back and making us serve.
Even spending money, to push good research under,
Just to prolong this world encompassing blunder.
The reach of those “elite” few has grown to be ubiquitous,
But our founding fathers are counting on us,
To protect their design which, to this day, remains tremendous.
The system they made was designed to protect us,
Our ignorance in using it is just plain sacrilegious.
The “lesser of evils” is the one that destroyed it,
along with me and you when we let them deform it.
Pay attention to congress and the hierarchy,
and start demanding better transparency.
It’s our fuckin’ country, made by you and me,
so stop looking for answers from FOX and NBC.
Those choices are ensuring our slavery.
Get off your ass and make a stand, it’s free,
And maybe we’ll retake our liberty.

Before you label and ignore me,
Remember the importance of speech that is free.
I’m not yet worried about UFOs
I’m much more concerned about what the facts expose
Right here and now in our own country
Awful things have happened; it’s up to you and me
To set this straight and do things right
We can’t be too indifferent or lazy to fight.
We must stand strong and gather our might
And never give up on repairing the blight
The road will be tough but we’ll do it despite
All obstacles are nothing, and this may sound trite,
But, we can restore our nation and the world’s delight.
I know it probably seems like I’m being forthright,
But it’s absolutely essential, you start caring tonight!

I wrote this poem some time ago and I feel like I probably didn't post it because I wanted to edit it, but I threw an excerpt of it online recently and so I've decided to post the whole thing. Another possibility is that I wasn't intending to link a long-time anonymous pseudonym to my publicly known profile, but I don't think I ever published any of the other stuff written under it so it seems like a moot point.

Implosively exploding, magnetically eroding, and eventually foreboding.

TheXenocide unloading encoding goading

Sleep is for the week
and blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth,
though once I’m done with her,
I’m not sure what she’ll be worth.
But don’t mind me,
I’m more of a tripper than a flipper,
seeking truth through insanity
over temporary remedy to reality.

The extremes of regimes suppressing
are in conflict with progressing
so let’s do the next best thing
while they’re in committee digressing
we can focus on collecting
and with others grow means for affecting
the world and more people projecting
peace and happiness connecting
the populace and infecting
with all those rejecting
greed and politics and expecting
inspecting, ejecting, respecting and erecting
discussing who they're electing
rather than deflecting
for fear of someone objecting
effecting intersecting subjecting
inflecting rather than neglecting.

Be weary however
we don’t have forever
we must get together
to push through whatever
may stand in our way.
Stand up this day
and be proud to say
you party and play
but you will not stray
from the NINJA way.

Wasting Time Explaining a Waste of Time

The views expressed here forth are a response to an article posted on American Thinker and assuming, like the many comments already visible therein, that it is not rejected during moderation, this will also be viewable there.

Let it be known, first and foremost, that I do not believe either party candidate to be of any *real* value to the citizens of this country. That said, this entire "controversy" is a waste of time; the prerequisites for presidential candidacy are checked in most states, if not all. Additionally, many US citizens maintain citizenship in other countries that do not provide for Dual Citizenship and the United States has not overturned their citizenship. I know people who *work for the US government* that maintain citizenship in Italy, Japan and Egypt personally and, while their citizenship in those countries is not recognized while they're in the United States (meaning they can not seek harbor in an embassy to require extradition for prosecution), this has not nullified their citizenship (in fact the US *only* recognizes their US citizenship). Also, once you are a natural born US citizen the citizenship status or changes of your parents does not affect your own unless it can be proven that they never were US citizens in the first place. Simply put, citizenship gives the US legal system more capability and, as such, they use it whenever convenient. Even if Obama *had* shown a birth certificate to an unfriendly source in person we would still be depending on the words of someone else rather than deciding for ourselves; is it now the responsibility of every political candidate to carry their birth certificate on their person so as to show it to everyone? What happens if/when it gets stolen? I know I don't carry mine with me just to prove I'm a citizen, I just show it to the appropriate government office when they require it and put it back in a safe place.

Additionally, Obama's health records, while not complete and detailed, or no less reliable than the exposure McCain has provided (effectively very limited access by few people for a limited time) and the analysis of these limited views still show Obama to be in significantly higher health. If you're going to require health records, which I completely agree with, require complete disclosure from all candidates.

Molotov also makes bold claims when stating that they released information before "anybody knew," clearly showing exaggeration since they obviously weren't part of the movement and likely had to take their information from somebody. Also, conspiracy is defined as "an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons" amongst other similar derivatives, which this video is (not that I mind, it's important to consider the possibilities of these things, the term has been loaded with a negative "foil hat" image), keeping in mind that a search for "Illuminati" will return results almost entirely consisting of conspiracy theories.

This article serves as nothing more than smoke-screen in an ever-filled political atmosphere through which too many people are depending on the unproven words of "smart people" instead of looking the information up and deciding for themselves. If this is supposed to be published for an "American Thinker" why not *think* before disseminating it?

P.S. McCain has a similar case brought up and, rightly so, both have been dismissed on similar terms. I suppose its only fair to question the citizenship of every candidate, but don't you think the process would have booted them by now?

24 Hour Idea Soup

The following is a brief recipe of disaster known as the information swirling about in this thin-walled cranium of mine. Today it'll be divided into sections since my interests and ideas are a little all over the place :p.

Voting Concerns


OMG! I have recently been made aware of the voting travesty that has been taking place in our country. I'll let you do your own research because I'm not a fan of pushing "Conspiracy Theory" agendas, but the voting process in our country is diluted by an insecure, closed door system where commercial funding and part representation may play a huge factor in the reliability of voting machines or counts in precincts. One site that you might look at for some background information is BlackBoxVoting.com though i strongly urge you to look at more points of view (please, please, please! don't ever sit on one resource and assume it to be true) there is a plethora of information out there and unfortunately, it is the responsibility of each of us to review this information in our own process and come to our own conclusions.

I do not tread lightly on the subject of voting, I've been a big fan and supporter of Democracy for some time now and to find that our system just plain isn't good enough truly frightens me. If our voting process doesn't represent who we are then what is it that truly makes us American? Over-stimulated economy? Corporately backed law-makers? Ego-centric America knows-best attitudes in world affairs that allow us to inject ourselves into any global politics without any true rhyme or reason? None of these things are American; if anything they go against the general premise of America, which was to keep everything fair and provide open opportunity to all.

Now complaining of course, will do nothing to solve the problem. We are to formulate ideas of solutions and act accordingly as good American citizens. It is this process that frequently gets overlooked as very rarely does anybody feel like they alone will make a difference. Well I'm here to share my idea for a solution with you and I would be very interested in your ideas for solutions as well. This is what our country is supposed to be about.

Personally, I propose that we establish (bare with me) an Open Source project designed, directed, written, managed, tested, reviewed and accepted by the American people. We have the technology to provide significantly more secure systems. I know it seems odd to propose openly publishing something that could be so severely exploited, but I feel that public review and analysis is the only way for us to establish the fact that we, the American people, are satisfied with our voting system. If we're not satisfied with our voting process we should be able to do something about it. I submit that we are perfectly capable of developing the necessary software, hardware, and processes all in an openly reviewable process that would consist of thorough secure design with full logging, secure data transfer, tamper/intrusion detection. I propose that we require more than one person to use a secure and uniquely identifiable data transfer medium in which all of the data distributed across multiple storage mediums cared for by separate people to transfer data from each polling machine to each tabulation machine. Furthermore, I submit that, since the entire design would be open to public review, the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of all voting related materials should be viewable on video by the American people all the time. If we can keep constant surveillance of the devices and know matter-of-factly that there is no way somebody has tampered with our votes then we can be reassured that we have the power to prevent a travesty like this from ever happening again. If anybody is supportive of this proposal please let me know so that we might begin to formulate a plan of action (As interested as I am in it, I'm pretty awful at this Government stuff, too much confusion legal terminology and enigmatic processes wind up leaving me a little lost on the official paperwork side).

Too Much to Do, Never Enough Time

As of late I've had such a diverse interest in topics and I've wanted to know more and more about these topics. My general interests have always been diverse, but typically in diversity you find a lack of specialization (the "Jack of All Trades" syndrome) and so I invest the majority of my time in Computer Science because I thoroughly enjoy engineering new systems and have always had a knack for it. Well I've been more and more interested about what happens when I'm sleeping (I wake up with a lot of answers, not knowing how I postulated them) and my subconscious processes. Along my travels studying said interest I've also stumbled upon several resources about "Lucid Dreaming" and now I'm starting to think... could this be a solution to my lack of thinking time? Might I begin to utilize this construct of my mind while my body rests to continue where I left off? I'm definitely interested in what people have to say on the topic, especially if they have had any experiences being lucid, though I consider myself too inexperienced to share more than the wikipedia entryI've found for lack of being able to verify the validity of information. At least with wikipedia they provide the necessary resources for you to verify the information yourselves.

AJAX with Java Made Easy

On the development note I noticed a neat NetBeans module DWR NetBeans plugin Seems to demonstrate a pretty easy to use AJAX model with Java; good to see active competition here. I'm wondering, has anybody done a compare and contrast against the Java and .NET AJAX implementations? Perhaps I'll find some time to look into it later.

I'm running low on time (I invested a little extra time in the voting segment because I feel it is absolutely essential we iron this out) so I'll have to cut things a little short, but there's enough here to mull over :).

Thanks and TTFN,
