By 7pm, I was quite hammered on cheap booze (i.e., Fox Brook® Sauvignon Blanc). Why did it come to this? Could it be the fact that I was able to peruse the hottie gym trainer for a couple of hours today? At one point, baby was just inches away from the ol' lavahead. Then, when I was departing the gym, I saw baby wearing a bright blue top which was both tight and skimpy. Ho boy! To say that baby is gorgeous would be an understatement.
There are no legitimate readers of the "blog," so I can express pretty much anything that I want without regret. No, I am not going to wax poetic about the hottie gym trainer. Yes, baby is a hottie. However, my situation seems to be a byproduct of my emancipation from intellectual slavery. I am no longer burdened by so-called "mainstream" scientific or religious beliefs. However, my emancipation has made me an even greater social outcast than before.
Of course, the hottie gym trainer indirectly made me aware of my plight. Society, or civilization, is comprised of a number of arbitrary rules which determine the course of our lives which in turn is really a series of games. In order to reap the benefits of society, we must play the game by the rules. Not doing so only results in alienation.
I have already figured out that I am going to live out the rest of my life in the most squalid manner. I won't be living the "American Dream." Neither will I hook up with a babe like the hottie gym trainer. I will be living in poverty and obscurity by myself. No one will know who I am, nor will they care. I will grow old and decrepit as a stranger in a strange land. And, one day I will simply cease to exist, but no one will discover that fact for several weeks or months. All because I refuse to play the game.
Why don't I just give in and "pay the piper"? As tempting as the "good life" may seem, I just cannot bring myself to crawl back to that crap. I cannot even fathom the thought of returning to wage slavery. And, frankly, if I don't return to wage slavery, I cannot be a part of "mainstream" society. I would have to reconstruct all that I deconstructed and more. Even then, "success" is not guaranteed. Sorry, no thanks.
I really don't know where I am going or what I am doing. I feel as though I have reached the pinnacle of knowledge, that is, a knowledge of nothing. I have essentially debunked all of the acceptable knowledge of society and civilization. All of it is a sham. Thus, either I know the truth, or I know nothing at all. The truth may, after all, be nothing.

Nice Day for a Tsunami
The sirens went off at about 6am this morning. They sound like the old air raid sirens from the Cold War days because that's what they are. However, the sirens are now being used to alert the public about an impending tsunami or hurricane. I was very groggy because the Chinaman and his ho' returned to Slob Manor (read: rental housing) at 1:30am and were talking at the top of their lungs.
The Indian guy was apparently the first one out of the house. I was up shortly afterward. I went downstairs to check the news coverage on CNN and the local stations on the small tube that had installed previously. There was a lot of coverage about the earthquake that hit Chilé, but there was no local coverage. Normally, once the sirens are activated, the Emergency Broadcast Network interrupts all local programming. Nada.
The Chinaman departed with his ho' just before Alan was up and around. I walked outside to chat with the landlord. Apparently, Slob Manor is in the emergency evacuation zone, so we would all have to leave. The estimated time of arrival for the tsunami was 11am. The landlord cordially offered to let me stay up at the nursery. The landlord also mentioned that the petrol stations and supermarkets were completely overwhelmed with people. Both Alan and I began to pack our vehicles with whatever we deemed important. Even with my minimal life-style, I found that I still have way too much junk. The Chinaman returned in the interim. He thought I was joking when I told him that we had to leave the premises. Of course, little did I know that the roads were all closed off a couple of hours later.
I drove to the petrol station in the Aina Haina Shopping Center to see if I could obtain some petrol. The lines were way to long. So, I drove to Hawai'i Kai. My intention was to obtain petrol and a cup of coffee before ending up at the landlord's nursery. All three petrol stations in Hawai'i Kai were overwhelmed. My Nissan® Frontier truck was already below a quarter-of-a-tank. So, I made the decision to head to Kahala Mall because it is not in the evacuation zone. All three petrol stations in the vicinity of the mall were also jammed-packed with clowns. Why?
I decided to forgo the petrol and just park at the mall. When I walked into the mall at 8:20am, I discovered that none of the stores were open except for Longs®. I had to walk to Mickey Dee's® to purchase a cup of coffee. The lines were extremely long.
Surprisingly, none of the other stores opened at 9am (the usual time). So, I just sat around with my cup of coffee. In fact, I had to go back to Mickey Dee's® for a second cup. There were a few other people using the mall as an evacuation center. And, there were a lot of disappointed shoppers coming and going.
At 11:20am, I walked back to my Nissan® Frontier truck to listen to the radio and eat a few snack items that I had stashed away. The reports indicated that the initial waves that hit the shores of the Big Island and Mau'i were way smaller than expected. However, no "all clear" message had been given. I then made the foolish decision to ride the bus to town to check my mail at the Post Office and go to the gym. The buses were completely empty. The driver told me that there were no buses heading to Hawai'i Kai at the moment. That's when I realized that all of the roads near the coastline were closed. When I return, I thought to myself, I would be stuck at Kahala Mall until who-knows-when.
There were absolutely no cars on the freeway when we passed by it. Traffic on the surface streets was extremely light. Very few stores or restaurants were open. I had a feeling that downtown would be the same. I alighted at Thomas Square in order to use the restroom there just in case. There were a few homeless people with tents set up in the park. The hedge adjacent to the restroom had myriad laundry heaped over it to dry. Quite a few filled shopping carts (i.e., homeless mobile homes) were parked next to the restroom as well.
When I finally arrived in town, I was able to see that my assumption was correct. Not even the gym was open. Thus, I was toting my gym bag for no apparent reason. I rode the bus back to Kahala Mall. When I arrived at 1:20pm, the place was a little more crowded, but only a handful of stores were open. A few more stores opened at 2pm. I listened to the radio again and heard that the roads were open again. I wanted to stop by Barnes & Noble®, but it wasn't slated to open until 3:30pm.
I waited about 20 more minutes before departing. Traffic was moderately heavy. I stopped off at Slob Manor to unpack my stuff. Then, I continued on to Koko Marina. Only one petrol station was open. I put $5 worth of petrol in the tank. The gym was also open, thank goodness. I was able to perform my usual workout and take a long hot shower. All during the workout, I debated about where I would eat dinner. I was too tired to even think about making panini.
When I strolled around Koko Marina, I observed that Loco Moco and Zippy's were both closed. So, that only left Taco Bell®. Well, I really enjoyed my fast food meal. I made one last stop at Safeway® in Kuapa Kai before returning to Slob Manor. I was glad to be back at the dump, if you can believe it.
Yes, another wasted and expensive day. I am, of course, relieved that tragedy did not strike. I was also able to see just how well we will not cope when the "Big One" hits. People were all on their cell phones even though the emergency advisories warned that such nonsense would overload the phone coverage. Same with the Net. Hoarding was so out of hand this morning that the supermarket shelves were cleaned out. Too much stupidity. Sheesh!
Always count on the ol' lavahead to provide the most comprehensive coverage of useless nonsense during emergencies. Just look back at the "blog" of October 15, 2006 for the blow-by-blow of the earthquake that hit the islands. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Gestalt (Reprise)
Another visit to Hawai'i Kai went as planned. Moms and I ate lunch at Zippy's. The same two ducks paid us a visit while we were eating, but one of the Zippy's employees chased them away. I also divested a few more of my useless tools.
Well, some strange crap is going on, eh? In testimony, Ben "Handjob" Bernanke told the empire's useless politicians that the Fed is not going to "print" money to finance the empire's debt. In a new game of brinkmanship, Bernanke want to force them to cut the most sacred of empire's remaining social programs. However, let's face the facts. What we are seeing is simply bad theater and equally bad histrionics. It's the same "good cop, bad cop" plot, but with both sides clearly working together for the same ends. After all, didn't Obama just reappoint that clown?
The empire's useless politicians also goosestepped in almost perfect unity to extend the USA PATRIOT Act without revision. Why, pray tell? I suspect that the Fascist empire is on the verge of social agitation. If that were the case, one must ask, "What would Mussolini do?"
In a surprise move, Paul Craig Roberts has penned a controversial article that focuses upon the "September 11th" farce. I was totally taken aback by, "The Road to Armageddon," which appeared first on the Information Clearinghouse site. Of course, what he discusses is something that we "conspiracy theorists" have known for a long time. The entire article is a good read. However, his conclusion really caught my attention:
Roberts cites the "insane drive for American hegemony" as the reason. A while back, I might have been quick to add the desire of the so-called "Christian" dispensationalists to trigger Armageddon, the wrath of God (of Judaism, Christianity, Paulinity, and Islam). Now, I am not so certain.
What it all boils down to is the modified "Hegelian Dialectic":
Well, the mindless masses need not worry. There's always Chat Roulette to keep them entertained and distracted.

The U.S. intends to ring Russia with U.S. missile bases from Poland through central Europe and Kosovo to Georgia, Azerbaijan and central Asia. [see Global Research article] U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke declared on February 20 that al Qaida is moving into former central Asian constituent parts of the Soviet Union, such as Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. Holbrooke is soliciting U.S. bases in these former Soviet republics under the guise of the ever-expanding "war on terror."I've offered my own analysis as late as February 6th in the "blog." My thesis centered upon the idea of global conventional warfare. However, the game plan appears to have changed. There really is no reason to ring both Russia and China with military bases and interceptor missiles unless there are plans to provoke either or both nations to utilize offensive (i.e., first strike) weaponry. What kind of incident could provoke either Russia or China to launch nuclear-armed missiles?
The U.S. has already encircled Iran with military bases. The U.S. government intends to neutralize China by seizing control over the Middle East and cutting China off from oil.
This plan assumes that Russia and China, nuclear armed states, will be intimidated by U.S. anti-missile defenses and acquiesce to U.S. hegemony and that China will lack oil for its industries and military.
The U.S. government is delusional. Russian military and political leaders have responded to the obvious threat by declaring NATO a direct threat to the security of Russia and by announcing a change in Russian war doctrine to the pre-emptive launch of nuclear weapons. The Chinese are too confident to be bullied by a washed up American "superpower."
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelop of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of "their" government, are facilitating this outcome.
Roberts cites the "insane drive for American hegemony" as the reason. A while back, I might have been quick to add the desire of the so-called "Christian" dispensationalists to trigger Armageddon, the wrath of God (of Judaism, Christianity, Paulinity, and Islam). Now, I am not so certain.
What it all boils down to is the modified "Hegelian Dialectic":
Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis ==> GestaltThus, the root of the problem is the pedigreed elite. Yes, the moneychangers and powers-that-be (i.e., "reptilians," if one is a follower of David Icke) have apparently decided that a major global conflagration is necessary to meet their objectives, whatever that may be at this time. Apparently, the situation is so out of control that nuclear war, the last resort, is now "on the table."
Well, the mindless masses need not worry. There's always Chat Roulette to keep them entertained and distracted.

Land of Mu
I have officially run out of material to discuss in the "blog." Not that it matters. The Feedjit® Live Feed recorded no legitimate readers of the "blog" in who-knows-how-long. The visitors who arrive in droves looking for babe pictures have used up a considerable amount of the allotted "bandwidth" for both the "blog" and its associated Photobucket® image hosting.
One solution may be the removal of all of the babe images embedded in the "blog." That would solve the "bandwidth" problem immediately. I have already vowed to not embed any new (or repeat) babe images from this point forward (with only a couple of minor exceptions, if necessary).
Well, another day of marginal existence has passed. I've become more confused by my actions (or inaction), although the alternative is simply not palatable. Sans references to reptilians, the words of David Icke make too sense to be ignored. The elite moneychangers and powers-that-be are not meeting in secrecy just to exchange secret handshakes.

The real problem, of course, is that humanity is on its own to solve its problems. The God of Judaism, Christianity, Paulinity, and Islam will not be making an appearance. No Jesus. No Armageddon. There might have been the possibility of an uprising of the masses, but too many of them are resting their hopes on Divine Intervention. Or, they are too distracted by the "mainstream" life-style. I suppose that I can only get on with the business of the exodus. I am essentially powerless to do anything else.

Reptilian Ruse (Continued)
Well, I have partially renewed my faith in David Icke. If I carefully ignore (temporarily) the references to the shape-shifting reptilian extraterrestrials (SSREs), then Icke presents an eye-opening view of history (i.e., post-Atlantis) and a very realistic framework of what we call "civilization." So much of what he says makes sense that I can overlook his mention of SSREs without guilt.
Icke's unique ability to "connect the dots" makes the reading of his material quite interesting. I thoroughly recommend his books to anyone. And, I would recommend shelving the infamous SSRE thesis until later. In fact, I will entertain the SSRE thesis once I have completed my readings.
I am approaching the subject of Atlantis in a secular (read: boring) manner. Icke postulated that Atlantis was populated by extraterrestrials with blond hair and blue eyes. Lemuria, on the other hand, was the home base for the SSREs. Although I find the idea of a prehistoric advanced society quite plausible, I cannot attribute its advancement to extraterrestrials at this point in time.
I am being very careful not to discredit Ignatius Donnelly's book, "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World," with the same type of claims as the author of its preface, JB Hare. Donnelly makes many assertions and correlations that Hare claims has been disputed by recent scientific research. I no longer accept such nonsense because scientific research is extremely politicized. Researchers clearly go on record refuting previous findings often to further their own agendas. In addition, I simply do not wish to automatically trust anyone labeled an "expert."
One other curious note about Icke: He tends to quote a lot from "mainstream" music lyrics and movie scripts ("The Matrix" being a favorite). For someone who is warning us about the deadly traps that have been laid before us by the pedigreed elite, he carelessly makes too many references to the very media that he denigrates.
Incidentally, there have finally been a few voices, albeit weak, calling out the nature of the propaganda behind the recent Toyota®-bashing by the empire's politicians. Yes, it's all purely political. However, the real truth is that the point of contention lies with Japan's new reform government and its stance on the empire's military bases in Okinawa.

Reptilian Ruse
Ever since I adopted the Brevity Policy (see "blog" of January 17th), I have had difficulty in finding material to discuss in the "blog." Even potentially new topics are simply a rehash of material previously covered in the "blog" or journal. I have also grown very tired of the current affairs genre. If the damned empire is going to collapse, then collapse already! Sheesh!
At the library, I have been reading more of David Icke's books as I find them. Sadly, I am growing disillusioned with his works. In all of his books, Icke attempts to explain the physics of the universe. His thesis is interesting, but he uses quasi-scientific vocabulary that makes no sense. In attempting to use technical jargon, he simply confuses the issue with the wrong words.
Icke also appears to believe in the immortality of the soul. He often asserts that we humans are part of an "infinite awareness" of the universe that transcends our physical bodies and short lifespans. Yet, he postulates that humans are the genetic creation of shape-shifting reptilian extraterrestrials (SSREs). A slave class of humans was genetically modified using our alleged ape-like "ancestors." The ruling elite were created as a separate class of genetically modified apes whose genes were directly spliced with the SSREs. Hence, they are the "chosen." Oddly, if we humans are the genetically modified products of the SSREs, then how could we be part of the "infinite awareness"? We would be artificial souls that have no bearing with natural occurrences in the universe.
Icke believes that there were advanced civilizations such as Atlantis and Lemuria which existed in prehistory. However, he believes that those civilizations were populated by SSREs and their genetically modified spawn. Further, the origin of deities is directly related to the SSREs. What I find truly puzzling is why the SSREs bothered with apes in the first place. Why didn't the SSREs genetically modify or mate with the various reptiles on earth? Would that not have been easier and more to their liking?
Well, the third Alpha release of Ubuntu "Lucid Lynx" is due in two days. I will not be downloading and burning the ISO to CD-ROM, although I will monitor its progress in the forums.

Antediluvian Dreams
Another visit to Hawai'i Kai went well. After the gruelling rounds in the 'hood, moms served lamp-baked chicken, ahi sashime, maki sushi, tofu, fresh vegetables, and rice for lunch. For dessert, moms served carrot cake with Foremost® coffee ice cream.
Well, I am compelled to continue my research about Atlantis, even though the book that I was reading had disappeared from the library. I have managed to discover that Ignatius Donnelly's book, "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World," is available on-line in entirety at the Sacred Texts and Biblioteca Pléyades sites. I am specifically interested in prehistoric civilization, not just Atlantis per se. Donnelly's work is perhaps the first serious (i.e., not mystical, New Age, or "channeled") about the subject of Atlantis. Hence, it is a good starting point.
Why even bother with such mumbo-jumbo when we are in the midst of what some may say is the end of history (or civilization)? Well, the existence of much earlier semi-advanced civilizations, albeit lost in time, gives credence to the thesis that the entire original legacy of humans has been buried forever. In addition, the concept of religion as we know it can be debunked for good. My only regret is that we will never know who and what the true Creator is.

Food Phobia
At the gym, I was able to discreetly peruse the hottie gym trainer for almost two hours as she worked with a couple of clients. Baby was looking mighty fine. Baby was still there when I departed at 1pm. She was busy rummaging through a pile of stuff in the make-shift office area that was slapped together during the current renovation work.
This afternoon, I stopped off at Foodland Farms in the Aina Haina Shopping Center again. The place wasn't nearly as crowded as it was yesterday. I had also stopped by Foodland in Ala Moana Center earlier. Well, I took my own advice and purchased about 5 ounces of sliced Boar's Head® Roast Beef from the deli counter (at $10.99 per pound). I also purchased a big-ass blueberry muffin and a banana for a snack. Later, I made delicious Roast Beef and Provolone Panini for dinner. Why buy crappy prepared food (e.g., Spam® Musubi) when I can make something better myself?
Obviously, I am fooling myself to some extent. The sliced cold cuts are laced with preservatives. The cheese is most likely produced from rGBH-laced milk. The wheat bread is probably saturated with gluten. I suppose that the real object of the game now is to reduce the amount of poison intake. There's just no way to eliminate it, at least not on my budget.

I had also stopped by Foodland in Ala Moana Center earlier. Well, I took my own advice and purchased about 5 ounces of sliced Boar's Head® Roast Beef from the deli counter (at $10.99 per pound). I also purchased a big-ass blueberry muffin and a banana for a snack. Later, I made delicious Roast Beef and Provolone Panini for dinner. Why buy crappy prepared food (e.g., Spam® Musubi) when I can make something better myself?
Obviously, I am fooling myself to some extent. The sliced cold cuts are laced with preservatives. The cheese is most likely produced from rGBH-laced milk. The wheat bread is probably saturated with gluten. I suppose that the real object of the game now is to reduce the amount of poison intake. There's just no way to eliminate it, at least not on my budget.

Foraging for Food
"Ohh well ... since no one else wants to say it!! Here goes ... Joseph Stack in his own unique way is trying to tell everyone ... he ain't about eating cat food." -- thirdworlder (commenting on Information Clearinghouse site)I was finally able to complete Jim Marrs' book, "The Rise of the Fourth Reich." The book was finally returned to the library. Charles Berlitz's book about Atlantis disappeared the day after I commenced reading it. Not to worry. There are a few more titles that I will be reading in the interim.
I stopped off at the Aina Haina Shopping Center on the way back from the gym in town. I specifically did so to check out the new Foodland Farms store (i.e., renovated Foodland). What a mistake! The place was completely packed with self-important imbeciles. I observed that I was the only one there who was dressed like a homeless guy. The whole experience reminded me of Whole Foods® in Kahala Mall. Frankly, although the Aina Haina store has been redesigned, it is still a Foodland through and through. The upscale crowd just had to make an appearance nonetheless. And, quite a few of the tactless Hawai'i Kai crew transferred to Aina Haina. I noticed that they were too busy to be rude. In fact, the store managers were making sure that customer service was a priority. All in all, I would suggest avoiding the dump until the novelty wears off.
Why was I at Foodland Farms anyway? Well, I thought that I would find something novel to eat for dinner. The prepared food was essentially the same crap offered at the other stores only in classier display cases. I opted to grill my usual panini on my beloved DeLonghi® "retro" contact grill and panini press when I returned to Slob Manor (read: rental housing). I am not sure why I continue to make the same squished little panini (although they are delicious). With better ingredients and a little more effort, I could actually produce top-notch panini. I certainly would not have to be foraging around Foodland Farms for something to eat.

Wake-Up Call (Reprise)
A cold and rainy day did not deter my visit to Hawai'i Kai. Moms and I ate lunch at Panda Express® while making the usual rounds. Later, moms served Foremost® coffee and vanilla ice cream for dessert.
I have been divesting a few of my cheap tools from my pathetic tool set. My bro has invested a fortune in tools. Believe me, he has everything. So, I have been simply leaving a tool here or there in his various stashes of tools. He will probably notice that the divested tools are of inferior quality to his liking, but he most likely won't throw them out. Soon, all I'll have left is my vast hurdy-gurdy library. Perhaps I could augment the latter with a Fleshlight® collection, eh?
Well, the so-called "mainstream media" has been painting Joe Stack as a "nutjob" or a "terrorist." The on-line note that he left has been taken down by the "authorities." However, a copy exists on the Information Clearinghouse site. An excerpt:

I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn't so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.The entire note is worthy of a read. Stack has sent us all a chilling message and wake-up call.
