There's a television in the lunchroom here at Resolve. When you are granted a break, or lunch, you needn't fear the horror of free mental activity. Freed from our headsets, and the scripted conversations of our programs, removed from our 17 inch monitors for a brief relief and once more vacuumed into the vortex of technology. Instead of freely conversing with colleagues, or simply enjoying the panoramic view afforded by the windowed walls, you are deluged by a constant torrent of noise and flittering images. This is information, self-important in its delivery. These programs designed to retain your attention, these commercials with compressed sound blasting, and ridiculous scenerios captivating, drawing you into a false sense of knowing, trusting, passively inducing you to consume. A ravenging consumption of time and attention.

I turned the employee TV off today when I went for my first break. This would have been a much bolder move had the lunchroom been filled with casual gawkers. Imagine the consternation, the brutal awakening... Melodramatic? We have soap operas for that. In our own lives we often have very little self importance. These characters on TV with their entangled lives of power, fantasy and vice, this irrelevant reality, is a brilliant distraction from our own self-induced boredom.

Holy stream-of-consciousness rant batman.

Let me be clear on my statement: communication whether with another being, or within your own mind is absolutely imperative. Continuously plugging yourself into any technological medium is a passive and developmentally thwarting behaviour.

When you get together with friends, turn off the TV, turn down the music. Use this time to converse, talk, interact, communicate, learn and develop friendships.

When you are alone, instead of escaping begin contemplating, planning, visualizing, dreaming; mull over concepts, develop ideas, do not worry about approaching a conclusion, understand all understanding as merely an abstraction from the wave and waft of universal energy. For most people, doing nothing, with no focus, is the best start to breaking free from this crazy information domain. And while we may never be truly free, approaching lucidity from whichever direction possible is the best method to living on your own terms and understanding your true purpose.

I went back to the lunchroom for my thirty minute break. The place was empty, the TV had been turned back on... blaring insignificant sports factoids to the deserted tables. I turned it off again, this time taking the care to trace the power cable back to where it met with an extension cord. After finding the source outlet, I vanquished the cold cathodes.

This time when some desperate person attempts to turn on their boob tube, they'll have to troubleshoot why it isn't working. The act of solving this problem may: 1) annoy them to tears 2) reward them with a grand sense of accomplishment 3) lead them to forgo this passive brain drain.

Alright, it's been a while since I served up a fantastical post. So coming atcha over the phone lines, across the digital divide and through the inconvenience of billions of electrons... once more ladies and gentlemen... I present your humble author, Chufre.

Last night Robert returned from his conquest of Moncton with alcoholic spoils a plenty. The original plan had called for more twisted thrashing at Sarah's, however when we arrived on site the whole scene had been turned into a geriatric ward. It appeared that our previous weekends synchronized thrashing had opened a rift in the space-time continuum which had then morphed all our female friends into conservative seniors. Horrified we retreated to Rbots mansion of misogynistic misdeeds.

At Rbots we proceeded to empty 11 cans of beer, 1 quart of raspberry liquor, 4 cans of caffeinated sports drinks, 1 can of chunky New England clam chowder, and 3 ice cubes into a garbage bag. Using an available broom we stirred our slurry, and tied the bag off securely. I cut a corner out of the bottom out of the bag, and quickly affixed a vacuum cleaner hose to the hole. The hose was tied on with duct tape and the whole contraption was strung from the kitchen's ceiling fan. Using this device we broke the alcoholic speed record, formerly held by some dead guy up the street.

The rest of the night was a blur. Great subbages were ingested, cannibinols were inhaled, and malted liquors were requited. Good times all round.

I’ve been investigating some different flash options for beefing up this site. Hopefully I’ll finish my new template by the end of the summer.

Pearl Jam has released their Canadian Tour dates and venues: Thu-Sep-22 Halifax @ the Metro Center. Apparently Audioslave will be their tour mates. This however is yet to be confirmed.

Shout out to my main smeezer Simon DeCat! He’s graduated to walking sans lead. He’ll explore to his hearts content, and then follow me back without any auditory prompts.

Note to Elle “the mewler” DeCat: Enough with the mewling.

Props to lil Janie for staying cute in the face of danger.

Props to Rbot for kicking the JF habit.

Props to big business tobacco companies for enslaving the following people: Matt L. Coranna H. Geoff M. Ian D. Gabrielle M. Sharlene K. 0 comments

Don’t believe the world you live in is a simple place.

Don’t trust technology to improve your comfort.

Don’t rely on science to explain your world.

Big money = Big Power

Big Power owns the world.

- Owns the military.

- Owns the media.

- Owns the vote tabulators.

- Owns the drug companies who keep you sick.

= Healthy people don’t buy drugs.

- Owns the food distribution channels.

= Healthy people don’t shape themselves into static blobs.

Money = Power = Reality

Your reality.

Don’t believe that political personalities just “die by accident”.

Kennedy, Luther, Lennon, Diana… how come the bad guys never die in this movie?

Nick Berg was dead when they sawed his head off. No arterial gushing, no autonomic spasmic thrashing… Either he was dead or he was a robot. Either way his death had purpose in desensitizing the American populace to the coming stories of real torture.

Do you think terrorism is an unfortunate occurrence?

Who has profited the most from the fear of 9/11? ...The War in Iraq?

Why did Nero burn down Rome?

The Bush Regime doesn't play the fiddle, they plays the media. They play with your heart strings. They play with your comfort level.

Do you actually think democracy is alive in the USA?

Do you actually think that Bush won a fair election/re-election?

What do you actually know about Pearl Harbour? US Foreign Policy? US foreign interests? The collusion between the Bin Laden family and the Bush’s?

What have you heard of the Skull and Bones? Bohemian Grove? The Bilderbergers? The Illuminati? The New World Order?

Somehow, somewhere do you think the dark powers of the world have disappeared? Do you think good is winning?

Are you comfortable selling out for a world of objects? For a reality of soft media? When was the last time you took any serious consideration of how fucked up this world has become?

There is nowhere to run, there is nowhere to hide. This is your world, this is your community.

Sit up and turn off the television.

Our problem as a borderless culture is not that we don’t have information; mass media is a constant in our everyday lives. The internet and television are replete with information: local events, national or international news, weather, humour, history, sports, music, culture, religion... The problem with all this information is that it is packaged commercially. Demographics and statistics of varying viewer bases force material to consist mainly of easily consumed soft news and just the bare facts. The entertainment industry caters to this shallow mindset, preaching consumerism and marketable morality.

We as a culture are abusing ourselves. We are neglecting the intuitive and creative energies that have so long fuelled the human race. Instead we stagnate like ostridges with our heads buried in a bubble gum world of insignificant distraction. Time is money, money is stress, and stress is overwhelming. Most people will never break out of the habituation of working class life. Others will never see beyond thin social structures. Our culture has taken ethnocentricity to the next level: pure unabashed egocentricity.

Community and group action need to be fostered, true national spirit has to be created. The concept of a national identity has to represent the higher values of human existence…

We the people are submitting our minds and awareness to the manipulation by dark powers.

One of the worlds greatest war criminals and mass murderers is being allowed to continue his dark administration against the peoples of this world. The evidence is conclusive, in the year 2000 George Bush with the help of his brother and fraudulent vote tabulation stole the election. This information was made readily available to the electorate through Michael Moore’s documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Yet Bush still managed to become re-elected by tampering and disguising voter records. Bush’s ties to the Bin Laden’s, to the Skull and Bones secret society, his prior knowledge of 9/11, the obvious motives for unnecessary war, glossed over with paper thin lies… and that’s just the tip of this vicious iceberg.

Why? Why despite all these crimes of public record do the people of the United States still appear so complacent in allowing this administration to destroy their civil rights and liberties, eviscerate the protective constitution, and send their children to war?

Fear.

Fear is the most primal of emotions, the most powerful form of self preservation. Governments have used fear to control their populace since the reign of Nero and his burning of Rome (which he blamed on the Christians).

Bush allowed the WTC attacks, Clinton allowed the WTC attacks (though they failed due to incompetence), Clinton also allowed the Oklahoma Bombing, and even the history channel reports that the government had weeks of prior knowledge before Pearl Harbour. I would urge you to do your own investigation into these acts.

You have a choice; either watch CNN and try and draw your own conclusions from their fluffy facts or be your own reporter and dig through the thousands of articles and documentaries compiled in the sites I will list below.
