Prejudice and Ignorance, these are two of the most misused and misunderstood words in the English language today. With the Trayvon Martin shooting death dominating the nightly news, these two words keep popping up with ever increasing frequency. Unfortunately the Media continues to purposely incite the ignorant masses by using the word prejudice incorrectly.
We must "break the cycles of Prejudice and Ignorance" is the rally cry of Professional Agitators like the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson Therefore, I would like to spend a few minutes clarifying both the definitions and the proper use of these words in an effort to answer this commonly misunderstood command. Let's start with a simple definition of both of these words.
prej·u·dice (noun)
1. an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
2. unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, especially of a hostile nature, regarding a racial, religious, or national group.
ig·no·rance (noun)
the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.
Now take the word prejudice. Based on the definition above, it stands to reason, if a person has an opinion that is based on proven facts, well thought out and reasonable, then he is not guilty of being PREJUDICED. This person would have a condition commonly known as discernment. (see definition below)
dis·cern·ment (noun)
1. the faculty of discerning; discrimination; acuteness of judgment and understanding.
Now don't let that other "naughty" misused word "discrimination" throw you off. Discrimination is a good thing when used properly, when you discriminate on the basis on facts, it is similar to discernment.
A person who can not tell the difference between fact and fiction would be IGNORANT. A person who lets their television set form their opinion would be IGNORANT. A person who does not independently verify information before reaching a conclusion, would be IGNORANT.
With these definitions in mind, let's move on. In light of the Trayvon Martin case, the Mainstream Media and the IGNORANT masses are continuing to misuse the word PREJUDICE. Recently, I watched a video of black college kids wearing hoodies saying "Do we look threatening" This silly demonstration has also disturbingly been mimicked in the United States Senate by Senators. This is a coordinated effort to make it appear that the masses of "white folk" are racially profiling "blacks" because they wear hoodies. These people are the epitome of the word IGNORANT.
NEWS FLASH!! The general population does not feel threatened because a black man is wearing a hoodie. The general population is simply aware of a well known fact. YOUNG BLACK MALES COMMIT A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF THE CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY. THE ODDS OF A YOUNG BLACK MALE COMMITTING A VIOLENT CRIME ARE MORE THAN 6 TIMES GREATER THAN THE ODDS OF A WHITE MAN COMMITTING ONE. IN SOME STATES, THE ODDS ARE 10 TO 1. THIS IS NOT RACISM AND THIS IS NOT BEING PREJUDICE, IT IS SIMPLY A WELL KNOWN, WELL DOCUMENTED FACT.
Here are some more interesting facts:
http://www.colorofcrime.com/colorofcrime2005.pdf
Interracial Crime
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
• Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Fortyfive percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
Gangs
• Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
• Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs.
Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration
• Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139
to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39
million.
• Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS OR DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORANT!!!

Trayvon Martin, Racism, Media Manipulation and the Ignorant Masses
I am sick and tired of the ignorant masses crying RACISM every time something unfavorable happens to someone within their particular race. There are two groups of people that are guilty of this much more often than any other group or groups of people on this planet. They are blacks and jews. This is not a blanket comdemnation of these two groups,or any individual within these groups it is just a FACT.
The most recent example that proves my statement is the reaction of the IGNORANT MASSES of people that are reacting to the MEDIA HYPE of the Travon Martin case. This is a perfect example of just how easily people are manipulated by the Media.
This case is indeed a tradgedy. But the tradgedy is not that a "racist" is getting away with "murder." Yes it is a tradgedy when a young life ends prematurely. A far worse tradgedy is the effect that this young man's death is having on thousands of ignorant people all over this country who are being manipulated by the media and whpped up into a frenzy. The violence and lawlessness that will occur and has occured already due to media hype over this case and others like it is reminiscent of "lynch mobs" of the distant past.
The fact is that in this country, like it or not, EVERY MAN IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!! I would not choose to have it any other way. The fact that you would, only proves that you are an ignorant, predjudiced fool. The term "predjudiced" is defined as "an opinion formed without adequate reasons." Ask yourself honestly, who the predjudiced one really is. Is it the man claiming self defence because he feared for his life, or it it the thousands of people acting indignant because a member of their race has been killed. Do you really think that all these people have examined all the facts of this case and drawn a conclusion based on the facts? Of course they haven't because all the facts have not been disclosed yet.
The FACT is that this man, George Zimmerman was attacked and defended himself.
The fact is that there was enough evidence to support George Zimmerman's claim that he was acting in self defense. Do you really think that the cops are RACISTS? Really? If the cops were racists, wouldn't it be logical to arrest George Zimmerman since the FACT is, that he is HISPANIC. The FACT is that the Police Chief reviewed the actions of his officers and concluded that they acted accordingly (to the law). Is the Police Chief a racist or predjudiced? Really? What proof do you have for this assumption? The Police Chief is a white supremist and hates all black people that is why George Zimmerman (Hispanic) wasn't arrested. Do you realize how silly that sounds?
Here is another perfect example of the IGNORANT MASSES crying RACISM because they are so easily manipulated by the Media. This picture circulated around facebook. It claims that all people who do not like Obama as President of the United States are RACISTS. It got thousands of "likes" and "shares" by the dumbed down population of television junkies who have no independent thought process of their own.
The "Jews" are another group of people who like to cry "RACISM" whenever someone speaks negatively about any group of people within thier race. They have an entire organization that does this for them called the ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE. For instance when it is pointed out that the Jews own a majority of the mainstream media, you are labeled ANTI-SEMETIC in an attempt to deter you from your position. It makes no difference that this statement is a proven fact.
THE CRY OF "RACISM" is designed to deter you from your educated opinion and make you react "EMOTIONALLY" based on your fear of a being labelled with a negative connotation such as "RACISM". Unfortunately this technique is very effective with the IGNORANT MASSES of people who have not spent ten minutes researching anything. Most peoples "OPINIONS" are formed for them by their television sets because they are too lazy or indifferent to independantly verify anything on their own!!!
I urge people not to jump to conclusions over any issue and thoroughly examine the facts before forming an opinion. I also urge people to seek outside sources of information. It is a PROVEN FACT that the mainstream media is not only biased but they have their own agenda that does not have your best interests in mind.
Below is some information about "The Jewish Conspiracy" in this country being discussed by some of the founding fathers. Were the founding fathers all "RACISTS" because they were able to analyze information available to them and draw an accurate conclusion?
The implementation of the Talmudic New World Order was clearly seen and accurately predicted in the 18th Century by Benjamin Franklin: "I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. The menace, gentlemen, is the Jews."
"In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation is founded, by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within the state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal."
"For over 1,700 years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only among themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other people not of their race."
"If you do not exclude them from these United States, in their Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives our substance and jeopardized our liberty."
"If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves."
"Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will nor how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise. Their ideas do not conform to an American's, and will not even though they live among us ten generations. A leopard cannot change its spots. Jews are Asiatics, are a menace to this country if permitted entrance, and should be excluded by this Constitutional Convention. (Statement made in a "Chit chat around the table during intermission", at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention of 1787. This statement was recorded in the dairy of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a delegate from South Carolina

Wegman's Grand Illegal Invasion of Privacy
I would like to start out by saying that I have been employed by Wegmans, working in the warehouse for 29 years. I truly appreciate the opportunity that I have been given to provide for my family over the years and especially in today's economy. But... providing someone with a job does not automatically entitle that employer to collect personal information about the employee unless it is directly job related. MY PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION does not belong to Wegmans and they have no right asking me personal medical questions. Nor do they have the right to blackmail me into answering personal questions by charging me more for my health care if I refuse to answer the questions.
Unfortunately that is exactly what they (Wegmans) are doing. Why? The number one reason why, is that our union, Teamsters Local 118, is weak, uneducated and corrupt. They have not even attempted to prevent the Company from committing these illegal, contractual violations.
Back in the beginning of the year Wegmans passed out a survey to the warehouse employees about smoking. One question is on the survey, Do you smoke? If you answered yes, you were charged $5 more per week for health insurance. If you refuse to answer, you were charged $5 more per week for health insurance. I answered this survey because I had quit smoking a couple of years ago. I was still unhappy about the fact that Wegmans thought they could ask that type of thing anyway. I voiced my concerns to my union rep but to no avail.
Now we are being forced to take another survey about our blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Refusal to take the survey will result in another extra $5 per week charge for health care. So it was time to take a stand. I refused to take the survey. I told my Union Steward that if I was charged another $5 for health insurance that I would have someone charged with theft for unauthorized deductions from my paycheck. There will also be discrimination charges filed if I do not receive the same level of benefits as ALL other employees. I would file a grievance, but I can't waste my time.
In our last contract, the grievance procedure was purposely decimated. We used to have explicit language in our contract that gave the company only ten days to answer a grievance or they must pay it. Now, the length of time that the company has to answer a grievance, was extended by 50% to 15 days and the penalty for not answering was removed. So the Company does not answer the tough ones and there is no penalty. Yea Teamsters!!
A couple of contracts before that, our Union President and his underling, who is now our current President gave up the right to negotiate health care altogether and agreed to accept whatever level of benefits that the Company offered to the non-union employees. This concession was made without getting anything in return. It makes me sick just talking about it. It is no wonder that Wegmans thinks that they can do whatever they want.
Where is this all going to end? What's next?, asking me how many girlfriends I have and if I refuse to answer another $5 charge? Personally if questions are going to be asked, I think some questions about deviant sexual behavior should be asked. People at a higher risk of Aids should be forced to pay more too. Why just pick on fat people and smokers?

Independence Day-The Tea Party
What does Independence Day mean to you? To most people the 4th of July conjures up plans for partying, whether a family picnic, parade or local small town event such as fireworks. Sure there are the token references to "Independence" and freedom from "tyranny", but very few people actually understand what those words really mean.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
There are three main principles here that the majority of people tend to overlook or never understood to begin with.
1) Your "unalienable rights" come from God, not your government
2) governments derive their power from the "consent of the governed"
3) when any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, "IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR ABOLISH IT"
How many people today realize that the exact same conditions that our forefathers revolted against, "governmental tyranny", exist today. There is corruption at all levels of government, the government is currently in the process of revoking numerous freedoms that range from the freedom of speech, to the right to bear arms, all in the name of freedom. Remember that your rights come from God and are not the Governments to give or rescind.
The government relinquished its rights to monetary policy to a private corporation, The Federal Reserve, a century ago. The result of this monetary policy is something like indebted servitude. Unfortunately most people don't know what this means. Look it up! The Federal Reserve has bankrupted this country. Your life savings are being stolen right before your eyes. For those of you that have no life savings, think of your children's' and grand children's futures. They too are being stolen right before your eyes.
The sovereignty of this nation is being systematically turned over to a world governing body. The CFR, The Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers along with the Federal Reserve and other International Bankers as well as many other "prestigious" organizations all are working together to undermine your freedoms.
The good news is that more and more people each day are getting fed up with the abuses of "big government". Several of these groups from the Rochester area came together yesterday at Charlotte Beach to network with each other, expand their ranks and to generally protest their dissatisfaction with their government. Our group The Campaign for Liberty was there in full force distributing information, movies and petitions.
The many signs reflecting the people's sentiments.

There were literally hundreds of people at this event. Perhaps somewhere between 500 and 1.000 participated.
Libertarians...
And "End the Fed" groups
Unfortunately, there is a long way to go. Not every group is understood, even by some of the "more informed" people that were in attendance. I personally witnessed the gentleman below being shoved and hit in the face by another person who did not agree with his "message". This occurred while a guest speaker was at the podium giving a speech about "free speech"! He was called "un-American" for having the audacity to carry a sign that implicated our government in the 9/11 tragedy, which only proves to me that the majority of people still do not realize the full extent of the problems this country currently faces or WHO THE REAL ENEMIES ARE!!
For the most part the event was a success. Predictably, the media failed to cover this event. So much for "freedom of the press." Understandably there were many much more interesting things taking place. In the Local section of this morning's Democrat and Chronicle, the astute reader was able to learn about important news items such as traffic delays for concert goers and the repaving of route 98. Apparently 1,000 people gathered together to show their dissatisfaction with "government" is not really newsworthy!
Oh Well! HAPPY 4th of JULY

How Much Is A Trillion Dollars?
Recently, my friends and I were discussing what a trillion dollars would look like. We were talking about how much interest was being paid on our national debt. Way back when the national debt was "only" six trillion dollars, our interest payments on that debt were one trillion dollars per year. Today, our national debt is rapidly approaching 12 trillion dollars, so the interest payment would have to be at least two trillion dollars. Today I got an E-mail that put it all in perspective.
This pack of 100 dollar bills is 1/2 of an inch thick = $10,000
If you had a million dollars in one hundred dollar bills, it would look like this.
One Hundred million dollars worth of one hundred dollar bills looks like this.
One billion dollars in hundred dollar bills, looks like this.
(that is 10 pallets of $100 bills)
ARE YOU READY? THIS IS ONE TRILLION DOLLARS, IN $100 BILLS. THAT LITTLE RED DOT ON THE LEFT IS A PERSON. THESE ARE DOUBLE STACKED PALLETS OF $100 BILLS. THAT IS HOW MUCH MONEY WE USED TO PAY IN INTEREST ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT EVERY YEAR.
WE NOW PAY CLOSE TO DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT (2 TRILLION $) IN INTEREST ALONE ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE GOVERNMENT TAKES IN A TOTAL OF 3 TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. WHEN THE INTEREST ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT CONSUMES ALL OF THE GOVERNMENTS REVENUE, WHICH WILL BE SOON, LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT WILL BE OVER.
DOESN'T ANYONE CARE WHY WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? ISN'T ANYONE CURIOUS WHO WE PAY THIS INTEREST TO? THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. WE (THE GOVERNMENT OF THE U.S.) COULD AND SHOULD BE PRINTING OUR OWN MONEY, INTEREST FREE, ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. IF WE DID, WE WOULD NEVER OWE 10 CENTS TO ANY INTERNATIONAL BANKERS LIKE THE FEDERAL RESERVE. THEN, ALL THAT MONEY THAT YOU SEE ABOVE (THOSE ARE $100 BILLS) COULD BE SPENT IN AMERICA ON AMERICANS AND FOR AMERICANS. THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF JOBS AND THERE WOULD BE NO FINANCIAL CRISIS.
WAKE UP AMERICA!! WHO DO YOU THINK IS COLLECTING THIS INTEREST EACH AND EVERY YEAR? WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE DOING WITH IT?
GET OFF THE PROZAC, PUT THE BEER DOWN, TURN OFF YOUR TV AND TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!!!

Durand Beach Voodoo ??
I went for a drive today with my girlfriend and we ended up at Durand Beach. We were sitting in my jeep looking out at the water when we both noticed some weird colorful objects in the snow about 20 feet in from the parking lot. So we get out to take a look.
It looked like some kind of VOODOO paraphernalia.
WEIRD STUFF!!!
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS STUFF IS OR
WHY IT WOULD BE OUT IN THE SNOW?? VERY CURIOUS!!
