Keith Olbermann rips Hillary a new one

After Hillary invoked the image of assassination while discussing why she's staying in the race, Keith Olbermann did what he does best and shows why he's the best newsman on television.

The Matrix

An amazing poem I found. Speaking the truth we all need to wise up to, but more importantly the truth we need to have to courage to listen to.

Musicians

Musicians are the Jesters and Muses of the modern age. Where before they were suth seers and seeresses, or clown like Jesters meant to please King's and their court; today, musicians fill that position, and they have two paths to chose. They can both make good music for all and have it provide them entertainment and joy. And there are those who use their music to enhance ones view of the world and to spread messages using the mainstream media to the people instead of through the leaders.

Music is one of the purest forms of inspiration. It is about one man or one group sharing their political, social, and spiritual beliefs with the world. Not only is it a form of therapy and artistic expression, but whether they know it or not, musicians today are the ones who inspire us the most. Every movement, every political conference has music. Campaigns have musical supporters. Concerts give musicians the forum to express their beliefs and give people direction and hope. Every leader in every forum of life has definitely had musicians and groups who they listened to that inspired them to do more with their life. They hear messages in songs about truth and reality. Hidden secrets, problems people ignore, and the feelings and emotions of current society and the state of the world.

Music rebels, Music screams, Music stands alone in the crowd. Youth blasts their music down the street saying that they won't stand for injustices, or just saying that they're having a good time and just feeling a good groove, trying to let everyone else know what they could be missing. The revolution of the 21st Century will definitely have music at the forefront. As musicians become more inclined to spread the word of the people and shove it in the face of the government, the youth will always have a place not only to have their voice heard, but to have it shoved down the throats of public officials and be able to yell across the stars, "I am here, I count, this is my fuel, this is my passion, your days are numbered. We are the future and we will not follow your tradition of corruption, bigotry, and hypocrisy. We will gather together in one loud voice and proclaim that we are one united people."

We are the generation of Rap music, we are the generation of Punk music, and we are the generation of hip hop, techno, soul, rock, and roll. And while our tastes may differ, they all share one common message. "This is our time, our place, we are the future, and you can not stop us!"

One More Great Example of Why I Love Keith Olbermann

Here is another one of Keith Olbermann's great commentaries. A prime example of why I love watching his show, and why you should watch it too.
P.S. For those who don't know, Keith used to be and still does do some part time sports broadcasting. Just goes to show, don't judge a book by its cover!

Here ya go!

Why I Support Obama

There are many policy reasons why I support Barack Obama, and I could definitely get into a long discussion about all of them. But I recently stumbled upon this video clip of an address Obama gave at the DNC meeting, and after you watch this, I think you'll get a pretty good idea of why I support Barack Obama to be The President of the United States...

Humanity

So today I watched the movie "Powder", actually it's still on but just about over. A great film if you've never seen it; Sean Patrick Flannery (Young Indiana Jones, Boondock Saints) and Jeff Goldblum among others. Basically, for those who haven't seen it, it's about a teenage kid who as a child was struck by lightning in the womb, which then gave him a kind of superhuman ability where he could manipulate metal things, attract electricity and lightning to him, and he also had an IQ far beyond anyone who had ever lived. It's a great story, and toward the very end, Jeff Goldblum quotes Albert Einstein and says,

"It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity."

He then says that after seeing Powder and all he can do, he now thinks that someday our humanity might actually surpass our technology.

This is something I hope to be true, but currently, things don't seem to be going on that track. What really gets me about Einstein's comment on society is that he made the comment back in the `50's! There was no NASA back then, no artificial sattelites in space, no personal computers, no cell phones, no internet, no cable t.v., no cloning, no stem-cells, no mechanical limbs or mechanical organs... none of that stuff was around then and yet Einstein still saw that our technology of the 1950's was surpassing our humanity.

This really worries me, because we haven't seemed to have improved upon our humanity at all in the past 60 years or so, but we have drastically improved upon our technology. In the years 1990-2000 alone, there were more technological inventions and innovations that in the years 1890-1990. It seems so backward that we will sup-up our cars to make them go faster, but not take the time to train our own bodies to run for faster or longer. That we spend so much money increasing the memory and disk space of our computers, yet don't spend the time to read and exercise our own brain to retain more knowledge and take in information faster. How we spend money on cell phones with advanced texting abilities to guess what want to write and learn the words we use most often, but when was the last time we learned a new language or increased our grammar of the one we speak?

There are some people though, who do not spend their time or their money on the advancement of technology, but rather on the advancement of themselves. For the most part, the vast majority of these people are holymen or clergymen. They focus on themselves, on their interior, on the one constant in their lives which is themselves. One of the most notable examples of these are the ShaoLin Monks of China. They basically follow the lifestyle of Jedi and were actually George Lucas' main inspiration when developing the idea of Jedi.

Here's a video of their incredible abilities and use of Chi:




The ShaoLin Monks begin their training from the age of 5 or 6 and devote their entire lives to harnessing all the powers of their body. They train from a young age to be in peak physical condition, they read and study all day to make themselves wise and strong in mind, and they meditate in order to find their deeper meaning in life and to harness what they call "Chi", basically energy which flows through all things and can be manipulated; equal to "The Force" in Star Wars.

This may seem strange and not real because most people relate it to the fictional "Force", but actually George Lucas took this real concept of Chi and turned that into "The Force". It is actually quite amazing what they can do with this. They can harness the Chi and create "force-fields" around their body, which make it possible for other men to hit them with blunt objects, give them roundhouse kicks which can usually break through concrete ... and allow the man harnessing his Chi to be able to take it all and not feel a thing and not even move. They have even actually monitored people while doing this with various scientific instruments and have actually seen a change in their energy flow and in their heat signatures while harnessing Chi.

Here's another video displaying their incredible talents:





If in the movie "Powder", Goldblum says Powder is his hope that our humanity might actually surpass our technology. Then in the real world, the ShaoLin Monks are my hope that our humanity might actually surpass our technology. But we have a long way to go...

My First Post

Well there are many things about me, I'm sure I'll share on here. And I'm sure that many of those things will be political in nature, as I am very politically inclined. So since I have some things to do right now, and because I don't feel like writing a lot, I'll put two of some of my favorite videos having to do with politics.

The first is one that I think every single American, especially every Bush supporter needs to see. It seems to me that America is once again proving we have the shortest memory of any nation, and perhaps we need to be reminded of the atrocities the Bush administration has perpetrated and of the fact that absolutely no one has been held responsible, and they need to be. Here I give you: How to Make an Angry American...







Here is the next video. This is a video from Countdown with Keith Olbermann. For those of you who don't know Keith Olbermann is a popular newsman and used to be a sportscaster. I use the term Newsman in the truest sense of the word. While there are many popular and well-liked figures on network news these days, Keith Olbermann is the only one who is a true Newsman. He does not just simply present the news to the people, but adds eloquent and insightful social commentary. He does not hesitate to let his opinion be known, and he is not worried about calling out the government on their many blatant blunders and crimes. Here in a special ending to his show, Olbermann comments on Bush and his blatant lies about the war in Iraq. One great thing I love about Keith and his show is that at the end of every newscast he gives an update on the end of the war by saying, as he did tonight for example, "That's all for today, the 1,764th day since the declaration of "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq" He is quite possibly one of the greatest, if not the greatest Newsman since Edward R. Murrow. And in this closing of the show, Olbermann reflects this trait as he does not give his daily update on the days since Mission Accomplished, but instead ends his show with the famous line Edward R. Murrow said when denouncing Joseph McCarthy, "Goodnight and Goodluck." Here you go...




That's all for now...
