What Would You Do If American Dollar Became Worthless?
According to the latest Gerald Celente video, and the United Nations report, the U.S. dollar is on its way to being worthless. I was thinking what I would do in that situation. I think the only thing people will be able to do is barter.
If this following video of gay workers in San Francisco is any indicator, people are going to be doing a lot of protesting over worker wages, health care and other issues a bad economy raises:
I seriously doubt any of the people in this viral Westin St. Francis hotel video will ever be able to find jobs in the hotel industry ever again! They've also most likely have been reported to the local Littler Mendelson pro employer law firm, and all of them await restraining orders if any pattern of such visits continues. The hotel may have already changed its policy disallowing future disruptive protests on its property. They may call the police next time and have them all arrested for trespassing on a business property. That's just my guess.
They all may think they're protest is creative and positive, but I'm sure the hotel and local legal professionals have strategies in place on how to deal with creative protesters in the future.

ID Tokens Proposed by U.S. Government to Access Internet
The U.S. government is in the process of passing new laws while preparing to implement a new system for identifying Internet users. In essence what this means is, under the appearance of cybersecurity, the government wants a reborn Internet with new infrastructure favoring a more centralized, regulated world wide web.
Senator Joe Lieberman's proposed new legislation is modeled after China's but is considered by many to be even more stringent in its methods of regulating Internet access.
Additionally, FCC has rolled a censorship plan into its Net Neutrality scheme in a stealth attempt to impose Internet regulation.
My prediction is, after these new regulations are imposed, there will be an uprising of angry people. This regulation of the Internet is going to severely affect the flow of money and ideas. I predict it will cripple the U.S. economy even more.
No one's going to have free access to the Internet anymore because of these old Senators who have no real future in America, seeking to impose their laws on the nation's future to make their mark. In one respect, there will no longer be evil cyberstalkers but the cost of getting rid of vermin is far too high.
My main question is will this drastic attack on the Internet and freedom by the U.S. Government itself, and that is exactly what it is in my opinion, cause the people to rise to make changes? Only time will tell.
Senator Joe Lieberman's proposed new legislation is modeled after China's but is considered by many to be even more stringent in its methods of regulating Internet access.
"The true nature of the cybersecurity agenda was revealed when Lieberman told CNN’s Candy Crowley that his 197-page Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PDF) legislation was part of an effort to mimic China’s control of the Internet.
'Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need to have that here too,' said Lieberman." - Cybersecurity Measures Will Mandate Government ID Tokens to Use the Internet - InfoWars.comMany are predicting a temporary shut down of the Internet in the future based on a false flag cyber security threat. Essentially, this would mean the government would manufacture a cyber security threat in order to implement its new infrastructure.
Additionally, FCC has rolled a censorship plan into its Net Neutrality scheme in a stealth attempt to impose Internet regulation.
Under the FCC’s regulatory control consumers would be forced to buy an Internet/TV/Phone connectivity box that the government approves. “Everyone will pay rates for service that the government sets. And everything passing through your Internet, TV, or phone would become subject to the FCC’s consistent regulatory whim,” writes Americans for Tax Reform’s Kelly William Cobb. -ArticleThose who own web sites would be required to sign up with the government to be allowed one. I guess my question is where is the ACLU in all this? The ACLU was at the San Francisco gay parade last weekend, but thus far is unable to defend Americans freedoms in this most dire situation.
My prediction is, after these new regulations are imposed, there will be an uprising of angry people. This regulation of the Internet is going to severely affect the flow of money and ideas. I predict it will cripple the U.S. economy even more.

Michael Jackson's Masterful Transition Into Eternity
It's hard to believe, but an entire year has passed since Michael Jackson left our world. Since that time, his name has been been reported to have generated $1,000,000,000! That's right ONE BILLION DOLLARS!
The last time we've all witnessed such worldwide mourning over someone was Princess Di's funeral. I personally think Jackson generated even more attention but I could be wrong. Prior to his passing, I was unaware of how huge Michael Jackson was worldwide because the media was always downplaying his popularity as if everyone viewed him as a guilty pedophile. The media made me think Michael Jackson was so despised he was driven out of the United States.
Perhaps there were many people who hated Michael Jackson. When you're so well known, I tend to think this is common. People look for scapegoats for their own personal inadequacies and become jealous of all the attention and love heaped on one person, especially among women fans.
When I was a kid, I took Michael Jackson for granted because in the Motown era there were many talented singers and performers. In fact, I practically took it for granted the day the Jackson 5 walked passed me singing ABC at my local grocery store in Baldwin Hills California in 1971. I was too young to think it was a rare opportunity since I lived near Hollywood where celebrities were plentiful.
Over the years I came to understand the depth of Jackson's talents far exceeded them all, even Diana Ross who was at one time a huge star. It really was the creative dancing that took Michael Jackson to new plateaus few reach. Jackson's signature moon walk dance during his infamous Billie Jean performance at the Motown Anniversary Special in the 1980's was a huge launching pad enabling him to reach new heights.
Many of us remember Michael Jackson in our childhoods and in the early 80's for his moonwalk and Thriller album and nothing more. If that's so, there's nothing wrong with that at all. Those times were when his talents shined most because the music was greatly produced, the musicians top notch. After the early 80's many of us felt the music industry began to falter and hasn't recovered since. In a recent post, I disclosed the music industry is on the verge of collapse because most agree the quality of talent and music just isn't there anymore. Maybe the talent is there, but it's not being captured in an appealing way to most. It's now all corporate garbage music on a large scale.
There will never be another like Michael Jackson ever again. Anyone who tries to reach such a high plateau as a performer, will never make it to that level ever again. I guarantee it! Any attempt to do so will be contrived and only perhaps a television sensation unworthy of such notoriety. One of the reasons for this, is our culture is rapidly changing and there is no real money to promote and springboard such a superstar as was before. Our entire world economic system is on the verge of collapse. In the early 1980s Jackson had the support of the entire music industry machine. In other words, Jackson was considered to be "the one" like in the Matrix movie. Jackson worked hard and was well lodged in music history prior to the second stage of his young adult career.
It's too bad and tragic Jackson had to suffer through such a horrific times when the public as focused on him for something other than his being one of the greatest entertainers ever. Regardless, it's clear he overcame it all quite masterfully.
Hollywood trade paper Billboard estimated Jackson's earnings in the past year have hit $1 billion, including album sales generating about $383 million and revenue from the film "This Is It" hitting nearly $400 million.
"The Official Charts Company, which compiles record sales in Britain, said Jackson sold more records than any other artist in the last 12 months.
I think Michael Jackson left our world as masterfully as anyone ever has in entertainment's history. His planned "This is It" concert and timing of coming back and rebounding so strongly in his career and all the attention it generated was masterful in its timing prior to Jackson's passing. He had garnered much attention with his pending concert series, and left behind a wealth of rehearsal footage that became the movie.His sales of 2.77 million albums outstripped Michael Buble's 2.0 million. Including singles, Jackson's sales in Britain reached 4.31 million for the year since his death. "Man in the Mirror" topped singles sales, followed by "Billie Jean." - Michael Jackson Fans Pay Tribute to One Billion Dollar Man - ABC News

A Corrupt San Diego Superior Court Awarded Edmond Wollmann Legal Fees At Secret Hearing

In my opinion, there's something seriously wrong with the San Diego Superior Court system. My experience was they are highly political, sexist and don't necessarily follow statutory law or procedures. I'm referring particularly to Judge Robert C. Longstreth, who looks as gay as any gay man in San Francisco I've ever worked with. Notice the rather inhuman glazed look in this Judge's eyes (the photo was since taken down on the site I linked to and is unavailable)? These are the eyes that aided and abetted Edmond Wollmann while seeking to severely punish me for filing a lawsuit in pro per. I had plenty of corroborating evidence to back up my claims. Judge Longstreth was appointed to the bench by Terminator actor, Governor Arnold Schwarznegger in 2008.
Like the Terminator, this judge was predatory of my future in his statements at a hearing and was brutal and sadistic in his intent to punish me for filing my lawsuit he asked me to withdraw on record. He stated he believed I had the "wrong man". Yet this judge wasn't even overseeing the lawsuit though he seemed desperate to have it moved to his jurisdiction in the East County court. This judge's hearing was for another case Mr. Wollmann filed in another county of San Diego. It was filed in pro per by Mr. Wollmann due to my contacting the La Mesa Police over a gun related death threat. The judge issued statements "on record" for the Central court to follow in my case. Prior to my contacting the police, I also contacted the SFPD and the San Diego District Attorney's office. I was working through the system and not harassing Mr. Wollmann of my own accord whatsoever.
This Judge Longstreth is a total bully who acted as if he was Mr. Wollmann's attorney at a hearing, arguing over petty issues of a few miles of driving to the Central Court rather then the East Court. This judge disregarded all of my response motions and didn't appear to read or acknowledge any of them in my defense of fraudulent claims I had harassed Edmond Wollmann. Judge Longstreth is typical of judges these days who abuse their discretion and overlook statutes due to overt sexism and gender bias against women falsely accused by their predators.
A Little Background on How It All Started
I sent two cease and desist letters to Mr. Wollmann prior to filing my lawsuit that went unanswered. I had good reason to believe he was involved in sending me obscene messages and posting defamation on a blog, including having me in handcuffs and behind bars accusing me of a multitude of crimes. The judge didn't care what evidence I had. He issued a statement at the hearing that was forwarded by Mr. Wollmann to the Central court judge. The Central court judge Charles R. Hayes then became very hard on me and my case.
I ultimately dismissed the case but they called a secret hearing to issue Mr. Wollmann his legal fees for the case. The secret meeting wasn't on calendar because the case was dismissed. Yet the judge made sure to use the opportunity to benefit Mr. Wollmann at what is called the discovery hearing a few days prior to trial. There was no trial scheduled, so there should not have been such a hearing. They created the hearing from thin air to accommodate Mr. Wollmann's request for legal fees.
Cyber Stalkers' Activities Have Drained My Savings Account & Affected My Income Considerably
Unfortunately, due to the cyber stalker's activities, my finances have dwindled considerably and there is not any money I can provide to Mr. Wollmann. He will not be successful in obtaining money from me because I have limited income thanks to he and his sidekick's phantom's on-line activities. I have little assets as well. There is really nothing Mr. Wollmann can do to successfully collect on his judgment, as there is nothing I can do to collect $25,000 I was awarded for another cyber stalker's activities. They're broke and so am I. When people have no money, there's nothing you can do to collect it. Most lawsuit judgments go uncollected simply for the fact people have no money.
Cruel Judges in San Diego Sought to Punish Me For My Valid Lawsuit! Ordered Me To Pay!
I spoke with an attorney familiar with my case, a Cathy Kazemi in San Diego who said the sanctions issued against me for my discovery of "Ewollmann@aol.com" was highly abnormal. Not only were they abnormal, the judge violated the Discovery Act. I did not abuse the discovery process to obtain the identity of a man through AOL who clearly harassed me with emails and posted defamation on the Internet. Attorney Kazemi told me she had never heard of a judge ever sanctioning a pro per over a discovery request before. This clearly happened due to the politics involved between two judges. Judge Longstreth was making some serious statements against me in the court room that indicated to me he fully believed a public nuisance, trespass convicted individual who admitted at a court hearing he spent all of his time on the Internet. He believed Mr. Wollmann and disregarded me all together indicating prejudice and bias.
When a court is overtly political and doesn't consider two sides of an issue, it is clear it is corrupt. The Court of Judge Longstreth, who was since transferred to the Family Court in San Diego, should be highly scrutinized by the public and those who appear before him for any overtly sexist political decisions that are extreme. Apparently Judge Longstreth has had issues with women in his personal life that he's looking to dump on them whenever he is able. From my and other female experiences, gay men especially seem to have much underlying hostility and anger towards the opposite sex for obvious reasons. It's not like it is on Will & Grace, a highly fictional sitcom.
Judge Charles R. Hayes who took over where Judge Longstreth left off with his statement, carried out his intent and issued harsh penalties against me, though I withdrew my lawsuit. Judge Hayes had supported Judge Longstreths campaign and is listed as an endorser. I maintain Edmond Wollmann's on-line reputation, admissions of frivolous complaints to the FBI over Google rankings, admission to being on the Internet all the time, and criminal convictions, all supported good reason for my lawsuit, not to mention his ignoring my cease and desist letters and even evading my process server.
California's Imminent Bankruptcy & Collapse
When the State of California collapses, not to mention America, the good part of it will be it won't be able to afford these corrupt judge's salaries and bloated pensions. These male judges a oppressive to women particularly. All I wanted to do originally was be a singer on a cruise ship. It all started when a cyber stalker wanted to mock me for my video singing with my back to a camera in my studio converted from a walk-in closet. It was all so ridiculous how these closet gay men made an issue of my singing video. A previous cyber stalker's work (I was awarded a judgment for) provided impetus for momentum of a gay men's gang up mentality on a woman. They should go watch Boy George and George Michael's videos and leave me the hell alone!
After seeing a photograph of Judge Longstreth, and experiencing his overt sexism, I honestly question his sexuality. Is he one of those guys in the closet who uses women? He sided with Mr. Wollmann and entirely disregarded my motions and statement of facts, because he most likely favors men. Of course, that's just my opinion. I certainly wouldn't want to be accused of defaming Judge Longstreth, whose a public figure.

Charlie Chaplin's Famous Speech From The Great Dictator - Good Try Dude!
A famous scene from the 1940's classic The Great Dictator -
Charlie Chaplin's answer to Hitler's rise to power.
I recently came across an incredible classic video of Charlie Chaplin I'd never seen before. Unfortunately, no one apparently had ever conveyed to Mr. Chaplin humanity didn't survive on idealism alone. The ultimate truth is this world is brutal by nature and always has been. Whatever pockets of peace and harmony human cultures have found are only temporary. It's just the nature of cyclical patterns of life and death.
All hominids throughout the earth's history have become extinct. There is evidence certain species even caused the other's extinction such as Cro Magnons vs. Neanderthals. If there's any further evidence one needs to confirm humanity doesn't thrive on peace and harmony, one need only look so far as how Columbus discovered America while senselessly torturing and slaughtering gentle Indian tribes that were not prepared for such a betrayal of their trust.
Regardless, this little Chaplin movie speech in the film The Great Dictator is a brilliant attempt to counter Hilter's presence back then. I've come to the conclusion this idealism isn't meant for our world, but another. There is another world beyond this one. Great artists like Chaplin have merely channeled that world into this one and nothing more. This world we all live in is destined for destruction and upheaval. In fact, there's currently an emerging new industry at work trying to predict the ways humanity will end.
For instance, check out this ridiculous video on a television program called Mega Disasters about methane gas and our oceans and what the scientist says
"This methane eruption in the oceans has happened repeatedly over the past half BILLION years without fail and there's no question in my mind it will happen again."Lots of laughs!!
If wild animals could talk and rise above their own limited condition as humans strive to, this is an example of how ridiculous Charlie Chaplin's speech is in reality of the nature of world we live in:
An elderly lion that hasn't eaten in days is closing in on a fawn for its meal. The lion doesn't have much time left, but the fawn has an entire lifetime of grazing and enjoyment ahead of it. The lion is tired, old and miserable. As the lion approaches its meal, a particular species that is free from being hunted by predators, being always at peace in the wild without any fear, climbs up a high tree above the chaos below to proclaim:
"Let us not live in misery and kill one another, let us live in peace and harmony in this animal kingdom of ours. We are here to help, not destroy, one another."

Sorry Mr. Chaplin, though a wonderful idealism you had and strong conviction of what the world could be, it's not anywhere near the nature of the world we live in. Your idealism exists in the world of dreams and imagination. It all comes down to the human brain. The brain is flawed because it sits on the reptilian brain stem as its foundation. Our brain was formed from reptilian brains in evolution time.
I love Charlie Chaplin's fruits for sure, but any enemy would die of laughter over his attempt in The Great Dictator to address the dark realities of the world we live in. It's the human brain that's the problem, not the solution. Dictators brainwash like the Borg in Star Trek took over Captain Pickard. The human brain is the problem.

I think Charlie Chaplin would be horrified at what is facing humanity right now. If he lived today he certainly wouldn't be writing a song called "Smile". In the 1970's at the age of 85, the Queen of England knighted Chaplin. The fact is, Chaplin reached the end of his life apparently naive to the fact he was knighted by one of the most hideously evil royal families of all time. The English royals are among the darkest, most hideously corrupt souls on the planet that is currently plotting mass murder and population reduction. For instance, the Queen of England is joint owner of BP.
The Queen wanted a piece of Chaplin near the end of his life for sure.

Proposed Biggest Demolition in San Francisco History In My Neighborhood
San Francisco appears to be moving forward with a plan to demolish a large tower built in 1961 as part of the Fairmont Hotel. The Fairmont's a historic monument in many respects especially since it survived the 1906 earthquake, though barely. In fact, the Fairmont's construction had just been completed shortly before the earthquake hit. One would think they would have learned a lesson from back then to wait for another large earthquake prior to building a major structure of that magnitude.
They say the project would be the largest demolition of any building in San Francisco's entire history. Since I live within two blocks it will undoubtedly cause a tremendous amount of upheaval, noise and construction activity for up to four years. It will also block transportation and cause significant inconvenience.
This demolition should be the least of my concerns however since there's a growing industry of fear mongering letting everyone know of the impending dangers up ahead. Earlier this month scientists warned the sun is currently awakening from a deep slumber of no sunspot activity that could trigger electrically based damages on earth. That scary story in itself wasn't enough for the Huffington Post however, that thought it was important to go further in exploring the consequences of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) bombs. Here's a blurb from the article which quotes National Geographic.

An EMP bomb, National Geographic explains is,
"a bomb that's designed to go above the atmosphere and release huge amounts of energy," some of which in the form of gamma rays. Such a weapon would cripple electronics, but not kill people.
In less than a billionth of a second, the electrical intensity on Earth's surface would become so hot that microchips would fry, power lines would overload and the electric grid would collapse," says National Geographic, describing . "Everything with microelectronics in it would stop: your car, your computer, the subway. There would be no electricity."I imagine those who would survive the horrifying mass death would ultimately harness electricity from the sun through solar panels. Regardless, we are way behind with any solar based electrical infrastructure to support our electric based culture. The world would be like the dark ages for probably hundreds of years.

Evidence of Ghostly Apparition at Habitat for Humanity Triggers Burglar Alarm!
This is a fairly convincing video of a ghost who is theorized to be attached to his or her belongings donated to the Habitat for Humanity. It actually triggered a burglar alarm! A paranormal specialist was called in who said it was some of the best footage he's ever seen. I don't normally go for these kind of stories but this one is very intriguing.
I guess my main question is how can this be possible? How can there be a world in between ours and another? Why would any alleged ghost want to hang around in a world where they can't experience anything? This is so bizarre.

My Point Lobos Monterey Hiking Videos. Sea Life! Snake Traps!
I finally discovered the technique in Final Cut Pro film editing software to create higher quality videos for YouTube. It took a lot of experimentation. I have a HD camera so there's no excuse for poor quality videos.
Here's my videos from a spectacular Point Lobos State Park hike last Sunday including a whaling museum, otters, seals and a rare snake.

Want a Great Hike? Try Point Lobos State Park in Monterey California
Point Lobos Hike - 6/13/10
These are just few of my best shots (last I checked the photo album didn't play after the video, but maybe it's just a server issue) from the Point Lobos State Park hike. The couple on the distant rocks wasn't a planned shot. I don't know who they are. I have a great video of otters too.
One of the most breathtaking beach hikes in the United States is within 2.5 hours of where I live so I just had to go to Point Lobos State Park to check it out. The weather was beautiful, if not perfect, and I caught a ride from someone with a convertible VW. It was a total blast. Next time I go I want to bring some wine and hang out a while.
I found it very difficult to get back in the work mode after this one day excursion to paradise to say the least. I'll have video soon of the trip after I figure out how to get better quality. I have an HD camera so there's no excuse for my videos not to be crystal clear quality. If I only knew how.

Charity Lawyers Aggressively Demand Deceased Donor Funds
Am I ever grateful a customer shared his experiences today as a will and trust attorney. What he shared really shocked me. Here's the scoop, are you ready? Some charities hire attorneys to demand their money when the donor's body is still warm! Of course, this is a figure of speech but it's highly accurate in many cases. Charities begin their collection process by having high powered lawyers look over the donor's trust who name them among many beneficiaries. He mentioned the ACLU and environmental groups as examples.
Over My Dead Body Greedy Pigs!
What the attorney told me influenced my decision to never place any charity as a beneficiary in my will. When I had far more money in my retirement account prior to the stock market decline of 2008, I've had such beneficiaries as The Humane Society, ACLU and ASPCA over the years. Not anymore, and especially the ACLU I'm no longer a member of for their inadequate aid to political prisoner former attorney Richard Fine who I blogged about earlier. (The poor fellow is still locked away in solitary confinement not being charged with any crime!)
According to the trust attorney, the way to prevent charities from this activity is the language placed in the trust or will. It must be clear all primary beneficiaries and/or debts get paid off prior to the residuals (i.e., left overs) being distributed. Apparently the charities feel a trust or person's will is like a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone gets a cut of the bird leaving them with the crumbs. That's why they're becoming bullies using attorneys to get at the money ASAP by exploiting loopholes in people's trusts.
The nerve of these strangers who think they have a right to a dead person's money shortly after they die that they hire lawyers to bully people to get to their money! These charities often spend most of their funds on administrative costs and are wasteful. The only charity I'd ever trust is the ASPCA at this point.
