The Day of the Subgenius

2010-11-25T10:20:00.005-06:00

The Day Of The Subgenius, inspired by Rev. Ivan Stang's The Brag Of The SubGenius, the manifesto for the legendary "anti-cult cult" The Church Of The Subgenius, is a fascinating mix of live action and extraordinary animation set in a metropolis under attack from a variety of UFOs and B-movie monsters. Who can save the city from destruction? Only Slack master and Sex God J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, who discovered the Conspiracy and an invasion by UFOs, and founded The Church of the SubGenius, an adults-only religion for mutants, misfits, weirdos. Produced by The Bolex Brothers, directed by Chris Hopewell. No sex or nudity.

Is The Federal Reserve Afraid Of Little Compitition?

The Feds Make A Desperate Move:

By Ronnie LoBello

The Feds show their insecurity when they raided the Liberty Dollar headquarters recently.

Ron Paul is the candidate that frightens the Neo Conservatives in Washington more than they would ever let on. Even though you’ll hardly hear a peep about Ron Paul on the Fox or CNN news networks and many Americans still don’t know who he is, he is raising a surprising amount of money from small contributions . This shows the amount of support he gets from his growing popularity. Beware of the negative spins we will encounter from the corporate controlled media. Bill O’Rilliey and the likes of, will be connecting Ron Paul with counterfeiters, gun nuts and every thing else they could dream up. Don’t you believe it! These are misleading accusations and should be recognized as such.

The truth is that Liberty Dollars are not counterfeit, They are backed by gold and silver which makes them silver or gold certificates, therefore their value is tangible. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes more commonly known as the Dollar Bill.

Dollar bills are backed by NOTHING; there is no gold, silver nothing but a growing national dept .

There is definitely is problem here. The Economy is not going to hold up much longer the Euro is gaining in popularity around the world and the; New World Order Globalist types are talking about joining Mexico, Canada and The United Sates forming the North American Union and issuing new currency called the Amero. In other words remove the borders and creating a new country controlled by international corporations, the end of Mexico, Canada and The USA.

This transfer won’t happen without opposition, which would be a disaster but wouldn’t it be a bigger disaster if we just let this happen? People who believe in and respect the US Constitution would never stand for such a thing to happen. The sooner America wakes up and learns the truth the sooner we can turn our country into a better direction.

The Presidential Elections are coming up. Ron Paul’s message is spreading like wild fire

And he is raising a lot of money on his campaign, which worries the Washington DC. Mafia. So when Liberty Dollar’s where about to release the Ron Paul Dollar, they freaked.

Like gangsters enforcing territorial boundaries, the Federal Marshals busted into the Evansville Indiana headquarters and quite literally stole all the gold, silver bank accounts records and computers.

They fear any one who challenges the Federal Reserve Note

The Ron Paul might have very popular.

Bernard von NotHaus is identified by the Evansville Courier Press, as "the group’s monetary architect." NotHaus says he expects to be indicted on charges of
money laundering and wire fraud.” I see this as a golden opportunity to go into court and
vindicate the Liberty Dollar as being legal and being the solution to our great country’s monetary problems,” von NotHaus said. “This is going to be a big trial. We’re going
to be putting Evansville on the map. Because money is going to be on trial right there in Evansville.”

Well let’s hope for the best more will be added soon.

Giving Your Cars Controls to Big Brother?

2007-10-13T10:51:00.001-05:00

On the good side, General Motors is planning to take the joy out of joy riding, by giving OnStar operators the ability to remotely slow a car to a crawl just as they can now unlock the doors. How nice, on the bad side your local police authority also has this ability. You see in the 2009 model year, G.M. will sell about a million Tahoes, Yukons, Impalas and other vehicles with OnStar service that includes Stolen Vehicle Slowdown, the company said last week. OnStar, which will activate the vehicles flashers to confirm it is the right vehicle. When the officers command, OnStar can set off the slow-down. In a recent demonstration here, the flashers went on and a message appeared on the control panel Engine power is reduced. Then OnStars narrator, a woman with a no-nonsense tone, announced Attention driver, this vehicle is being slowed down at the request of a law enforcement agency. Safely steer the vehicle to the side of the road and place it in park. Law enforcement will soon arrive! She added, for your safety, stay in the vehicle. Yea right' as if a thief would just give in and obey a robot. The vehicles steering wheel, brakes and power windows will continue to work. We’re basically removing the horsepower from the control of your car said Chet Huber, president of OnStar. According to the company, 300 people are killed annually in irresponsible reckless police chases, and this has the capacity to reduce that. Even though cars are just material things, the police insist on jeopardizing people’s lives by engaging in a high-speed chase. This system also can be abused. The down side is this can also be used against you too. Perhaps you have some unpaid parking tickets. Or suing a powerful corporation, or pointing out crooked politicians. Or you’re a disinter speaking out about bad or unfair government policies nationally or locally. Political tension is growing more and more each year. If things turn out badly in the 08 elections or the "Bush Gangsters" leads us into Iran. Or the dollar collapses, or we end up in marshal law. Can this be used as a tool for government to control the peoples freedom? These are all things to be very concerned about. Then would you want the police state, law enforcement to have control of your car?
I didn't think so.....You should be the one controlling your car. ......You should be in control of your life,
Not the government...Think Freedom............Thanks for reading my rant, Ronnie LoBello,

A Brave New Energy

2007-10-06T20:19:00.001-05:00

Give up the idea of burning stuff to propel our cars. Oil Is obsolete!

We are in a new age and new level of technology. there are a number of ways of tapping the forces of nature, with wind, solar, and the motion of water, are just a few.
These alternative pollution free forms of energy can be used to power the grid, therefor reducing the use of coal and reduce the need of nuclear power plants too. Thus supplying our homes and our electric cars with a clean source of electric energy.
Electric cars are silent and faster than gasoline cars and have far fewer part to wear out than gas and they don't pollute.
This dream is not impossible
if we can focus our scientific efforts in this direction. We can be the world leader in technology once again. Remember America went to the moon and back.
Instead of spending massive amounts of money conquering oil rich countries with military force.
I think the world would benefit greatly by getting rid of all internal combustion engines and coal burning power plants world wide.

No Chips Please!

2007-09-15T00:27:00.002-05:00

RIFD CHIP IN MY BODY? NO WAY!

I like my privacy thank you; I’ve heard all the hype about how implanted RFID chips can save your life by making your medical records available to who ever need to know. If I had a life threatening health problem that an emergency doctor should know about, I would carry a card with that information and who to contact. In fact you should carry a card with emergency information anyway. The problem with chipping people is that they can be used in many different ways and be read from a distance without you being aware of it. This means your identity is read by virtually anyone with a scanner without your consent. Marketing companies to target sales advertisement at you, and to keep tract of every thing you buy can use this information, and everywhere you go, and what time you go there. The future is very unstable. The danger of fascism is always looming. America has enjoyed many years of freedom, but is now being threatened by The New World Order, a world I do not want to be part of. With every one chipped it would be easy for the government to heard us and separate us and put us in our categories such as religion race gender and so on. Warning every thing is done in increments and usually is not noticed the first steps have already been taken. Putting your picture on your driver’s license was the first step.

This doesn’t seem like a bad idea it was done with a Polaroid picture, and makes it hard to use your driver’s license unless they look like you. But later in the late 1980’s the driver’s license have been nationalized. This means drivers license in every state are uniform and share the same digital database, and your picture is now digitally stored in that database accessible with the scanner bar code on the back of your license by any law enforcement officer with a computer. And they all have them in every patrol car. President Bush signed a bill as part of the Patriot Act, starting in 2008 drivers license will have a RFID chip in it so you can be scanned without you being aware this is the step before implanting a chip in your arm. The technology is expanding at an alarming rate and the chip will be able to read from a passing patrol car and processed in the onboard computer checking your criminal record including parking violations there fore they will be able to come into your house and arrest you because the Patriot Act allows search and seizure without a search warrant. And someday will be able to do more than reading basic information, it may someday be used in mind control. This is not just science fiction or ramblings of paranoid tin hat wearing kook. The New World Order is real and was announced to the world by George H. W. Bush Sr. in his speech. I know this all sounds scary, it frightens me to no end. But I don’t believe it has to be this way, no matter how powerful these people are the common people out number them and we educate ourselves pay close attention and vote intelligently, join watch dog groups and challenge our political leaders to be honest or impeach them. We the people can do it.

9/11 TRUTH

2007-09-14T23:43:00.001-05:00

Our leaders without any investigation, blamed Osama Bin Laden for this attack, then shifted blame to Saddam Hussein and started a war with Iraq, killed thousand of innocent people,and lost thousands of our young men. All based on lies!
For many Americans it's hard to except the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. Please don't laugh it off as if this is just some tin hat kook theory. There has been about six years of intense research and investigations by thousands of researchers collage Professors and journalist, and they have come up with allot of evidence that strongly supports the fact that 9/11 was an inside job, and also is part of a larger conspiracy. IT"S TRUE! Don't take my word for it,
do the research. Thank You..............................

Giuliani For President?

2007-07-01T23:04:00.001-05:00

Rudolf Giuliani has got to be one of the sleaziest politicians alive.
He says things like “terrorists hate us and not because of anything bad we have done; it has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. They hate us for the freedoms we have and the freedoms we want to share with the world.”

What a bunch of bull, this man is totally out of touch with reality. Or is he?

That aint nothin'!

Maybe he is so deep in the big lie that he can only spew out misinformation like that to cover up the Neocon agenda of the New World Order.

This man is also deep in business with some of the best of the worst in the business, hit men and mechanics. And he is obviously has prior and inside knowledge of the 9/11 conspiracy which brings us to this stupid thing he said.

“If a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001. But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him, terrorist attacks can be anticipated and stopped.

He also said…..

“If any Republican is elected president and I think obviously I would be the best at this we will remain on offense and will anticipate what [the terrorists] will do and try to stop them before they do it,”

That sounds more like a threat to me.
Giuliani is a fascist. He dose not believe in true freedom, he likes to control with fear and intimidation there are many examples on the internet There also is a lot of evidence that he had prior knowledge of 9/11. That makes him accessory to the crime. The New York Police have high incident rate of abuse and brutality. Guiliani was the worst Mayor and now is the worst candidate running for president in 2008
If Giuliani is elected, he will only give us more of what Bush has been giving us, or should we say taking from us.

A Disease of Our Time

2007-02-19T18:25:00.001-06:00

Computer Addiction;

I don’t think the AMA has done any studies on this subject yet. But if they did please let me know. It can be as addictive as gambling or even our little white powder friends. Yes its true because I have come to realize that I am a “Computerholic.”

Since I have overcome my state of denial I have noticed a lot of my friends are addicts too. At work some of my coworkers are constantly drawn to the flickering light, hooked on Myspace or Youtube and Ebay. Another coworker is drawn to the shops point of sales system as if it were a video game and stays up all night glued to the keys and screen. Some of my closest friends are so addicted that their household is as dysfunctional as a couple of alcoholics. Another good friend runs his entire business on the Internet and is totally hooked on reading conspiracy sites. Conspiracy sites yes! I love all the conspiracy sites myself weather I believe them or not, that’s only part of my computer addiction. Lets go back to the beginning. A few years ago I knew very little about computers I thought I had no use for computers. And then it all started when one of my computer geek friends gave an old hand me down Mac. It played cd’s very well and had a word processor and I could go on the web with it. It was slow as molasses only having a 56k modem and all. That was the hook! I love surfing. And I’m totally hooked on Photoshop. So I up graded a few times, with DSL faster processor and stuff. I started four websites within two years, and a blog, my blog is still running obviously or you wouldn’t be reading it now. Two of my sites are still up and running www.rinkadinkproductions.com and www.ronnielobello.com .

Sorry I got off the subject. Addiction to computers! Do you stay up late at night surfing the web or playing games like grand theft auto for more than an hour a day? Or write and read blogs ‘till the wee hours of the morning? Do hang out in virtual chat rooms? Ich! Be careful, or buy tons of crap off Ebay and sell too. Are you often late for appointments or work because you are checking you e-mail or checking a bid on Ebay?
Or perhaps you blew off an errand or two or neglected some choir you should have done, because you doing something on the computer?

Well my friend you are hopelessly addicted to computers.

You are a “COMPUTERHOLIC”!!!!

This disease is in epidemic proportions, our society is totally enslaved by the “computer revolution”. We cant imagine living without our connection to the web much like a junkie can’t imagine living without dope. We must all be aware of the E-monster. It’s almost impossible to escape with out making a change in you life. Being aware of computerholism is the first step in controlling your sickness. Starting chat groups on line or surfing the web by typing the words “computer addiction” on Google, and staying up all night searching for a cure. (Just kidding) Or read a book, ride a bike, watch a movie,paint a picture or take a walk somewhere.

Ps. if you don’t think you’re a computerholic then why are you reading this blog?

Thanx for reading my rant. “Ronnie”

Liar Liar Pants On Fire

2007-02-08T09:33:00.002-06:00

By Ronnie Lobello
Wouldn’t it be great if the old rhyme, "Liar liar pants on fire pants on fire your nose is as long as a telephone wire” Where true? George bush would need a team of fire men to stand around him with fire extinguishers pointed on him, because his pants would obviously burst into flames every time he opens his mouth.

A Gay Homophobic?

Ted Haggard
Busted, for Paying for Gay Sex
By Ronnie LoBello

As the old saying about "those living in glass houses" goes, It just amazes me how many people who cry about morality and judge people about their sexuality can be so gay themselves. I truly feel sorry for him.
A lifetime of religious brainwashing and fear obviously mentally twisted this poor dude.
Who will be the next ‘right wing fruitcake’ to get busted, and get pulled out of the closet?
Just like a gay basher, being gay him self and can’t deal with it. Self hating and lives in so much fear of any one knowing about his gayness, he lashes out at other gays to cover up his own gay urges.
At least Ted Haggard wasn’t going around beating up gays in the street or so we hope. There are a large number of police files of gays being physically attacked by this type of gay hater. So I guess he got what he had coming.
All I can say is, a lot of Christians should be glad to know that there is no Hell.
Or perhaps maybe Christianity is Hell.

About Religion, Fear and Politics

2006-09-23T01:27:00.010-05:00

About Religion, Fear and Politics
By Ronnie LoBello

I’m proud to say that I am not a member of any religious organization. I’m not a Christian a Jew or Muslim. However Christianity is the religion that probably influenced my life the most, being Italian descent and all.
My father was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church after he devorecd his first wife, church rules you know, The catholic church has been a major part of the LoBello families faith for generations, It seems very cold hearted to ostracize someone for discovering that they don’t love the one they are married to, or vice versa. I grew up in a family that had been divided into several parts over Religious Idealism. My mother came from an Irish protestant background, which caused a lot of conflict because of; predigest narrow mindedness on both sides of the family. Soon my mother and father separated. (Not for religious reasons.) During this time I experienced life in two foster homes the first one was fairly institutional, run by a Lutheran Christian organization it was strongly recommended that I attended church and Sunday school. As a good seven years old, I generally did what I was told. By the time I was in the second foster home, the people who ran it were some other kind of Christian thing. By this time it’s just a lot of the same, just said in different languages. After this I lived with my oldest half sister who was Baptist convert from catholic, and was really going over the top with it. Don’t get me wrong I still think she one of the best people you’ll ever find.
Ok it didn’t stop there; later on when I was about eleven years old I’m now living with my dad who believes that all religion is a bunch of voodoo hoha. But he now has a Jewish girl friend that would let me stay at her house after school until my dad would get home. Often she would help me with my homework. She also thought me a lot of Jewish values and took me to temple now and then too. This was a refreshing look at religion and life, and by this time I have just started to get the meaning of it all and putting in perspective a better understanding of the world. Later still when I was about nineteen years of age I had a friend who was a member of the Church of Scientology.
She told me a lot of great things about L. Ron Hubbard, so attended some classes there and read some books by L. Ron such as Dianetics and a few others. Scientology seems to be on the borderline of being a business cult and or fraternity, but I felt that it didn’t have too much to do with spirituality although it still has a lot of good philosophy and knowledge of the human psyche.
I do not have much knowledge of the Muslim world although I live on Chicago’s north side near Loyola University where large populations of Muslim people live. One thing I have observed is that they are respectable people who do not seem to judge others for their religious background but by the person they are. Not like the hateful angry people portrayed on the TV news.
The Islamic fundamentalist I keep hearing about who want to kill all those who are Christian or Jewish either are not in Chicago or really don’t exist except in the twisted minds of the mislead and misinformed. Politicians use the dividing line between the religions to create the fear of the unknown in order to divide and conquer, there is another religion that is a virus to many of the world religions these are the Neocons. Neocons pretend they are, or support Christians or Jews when it is necessary to gain financial support for their political campaigns, by kissing up to different religious or interest groups and placing wedges between these groups by dividing people with fear and by building hatred of each other. By doing this the now can set the stage for war and by using false flag operations
This has been done in the attacks on September the eleventh and the London subway bombings and if you do your research you will find hundreds of examples. Why do they do this? Because there is a great deal of profit made on the business of war. For example Dick Cheney has ties to Halliburton corporation, Gorge Bush comes from a long line of Oil men and close ties to foreign oil families and so on.
The Neocons have infiltrated the governments of United States, United Kingdom, and Israel, this why they do the unspeakable acts of war such as the US invasion of Iraq and UK who just seems to go with any thing the US says, or the Israeli attacks on the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
Most all people are intelligent enough to see that, except for about thirty percent, mostly Americans, can’t see how wrong this is and how corporate driven all this killing is. Why can't Americans see the corruption is because of the corporations run news media? Because the majority of Americans get their news from Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN. These network news sources are all paid for and owned by the largest corporations and its supporters, and the very same people that make profit off of war. And be aware of all the people like you and me that hold small jobs such as retailers and factory workers are the worker bees of the great machine and must learn to make better decisions in our lifestyles.
What I am trying to say is that we have to listen to all points of view and beliefs of all faiths. The one thing that I truly believe is that all people come from the same source or god or whatever you believe and know body really knows what that is no one knows what or who god is. What we do know is that we can get along a lot better with tolerance and expectance of each other as long as people preach hatred and fear we are on a downward spiral. It scares me when I here words of hatred coming out of religious leaders mouths such as Pat Robertson’s remark about killing Hugo Chavez or the leader of Hamas talking about complete destruction of Isreal, the pope reciting ancient text from hate mongers of the past and the Neocons feeding into all this so they can sell there weapons to both sides George Bush kisses up to all sides he claims to be a Christian but work with Israel against the Arab States and then makes business deals with the rich Arabs while they shit on the poor Arabs. Obviously religion and Corporations should stay separate and stay out of government and visa versa. Government must work for the people I mean all people.

This is Genocide

2006-06-30T21:52:00.001-05:00

Report from Associated Press
War Crime:
As Israel surrounds Gaza with troops, tanks lined up and helicopter gunships on standby, ready for an 'extensive operation',
Their supporters call for a massacre of the Palestinian people - "Knock them off one by one until they relent" as one puts it on the BBC News comments pages. The world can see how strong Israel is with their hardcore military weaponry gleaming in the heat waiting to be put into action. The catalogue of weapons at their disposal is impressive, and chilling: fighter aircraft, missiles: air-to-surface, surface-to-surface..., tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, attack helicopters, submarines and missile craft (we've already seen what they can do to a Palestinian family on a Gaza beach) - and we mustn't forget the nuclear warheads, biological and chemical weapons & atom bombs.
While the media focus on Olmert's words warning that "a large-scale military operation is approaching", With no comment about what the consequences of such action will be for the Palestinian people, And as they relate the concern for the Israeli soldier being held prisoner by Palestinian fighters - the media expresses no concern about the thousands of Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel. The actions of the racist Israeli state and that of their supporters, which includes the BBC, illustrate their total disregard and contempt for Palestinian lives. Rabbi Moshe Levinger, the worst kind of Zionist extremist, founder of the settlements in Hebron, could be the spokesperson for Olmert, Bush, the BBC and our very own government and great leader Tony Blair when, in response to a question about the massacre of Palestinians carried out by one of his followers in Hebron 1994, He says he is "sorry not only about dead Arabs but also about dead flies". It is nothing new that Israel prefers the word 'operation' to massacre as a poll carried out by Israeli TV showed following the massacre of Palestinians in 1994. The poll "established that at least 50% of Israeli Jews would approve of the massacre, provided that it was not referred to as a massacre but rather a 'Patriach's Cave Operation'".
In Hebron today there is a monument to the mass murderer 'Saint Baruch Goldstein'. Whether carried out by a far right extremist settler or by the Israeli government, massacre of Palestinians seems to be acceptable through the eyes of the media and by the 'British values' our government wishes us all to adopt.Our media will not speak of Palestinians and certainly not about the men, women and children being held as political prisoners by Israel, they will not speak about the humiliation, continued dispossession and ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel on a daily basis against Palestinians, never mind the torture of Palestinian prisoners - no matter that they include women and children.
Contact the Bureau Chief's of BBC and CNN in Palestine to tell them to cover what is going on right now in Gaza as fully as possible, so that the millions of people they reach see the ongoing violence of Israeli missile strikes.
Demand also that they break their silence on the story of thousands of Palestinians detained and tortured by Israel. Watch Movie1 Movie 2

The Maintenance of Freedom

2006-04-15T11:20:00.001-05:00

by Ronnie LoBello
The impeachment or censuring of George Bush will make a very little difference on the way the way the US bullies third world countries throughout the world. There are many other Neocon wing nuts in our government driven by corporate greed and religious fanaticism. How ever it is a start. Like a forest, cutting one tree does not get rid of the forest but to get rid of the forest you must start with a tree. Not that I advocate getting rid of forest but you know what I mean. There are a lot of trees in the proverbial forest of Neocons and right wing religious mad men creating a dysfunctional world to fit their illusions. We must be vigilant and proactive or these people I talk about will slowly take the freedom we all enjoy away. To get America on course to the ideals of freedom and liberty the "American dream" will take work, America has never realized the full potential of these ideas but we have tasted it. The freedoms we take for granted such as free speech right to religion of choice did not come without a struggle. To get to the freedoms we do have came from clear thinking citizens who wanted a better world. They saw that the reasons for poverty and oppression where politically driven. And the people in power werenÂ’t about to give in to the peopleÂ’s demands without a fight. So the struggle still continues today. ItÂ’s a continuous maintenance program and improvement is always needed Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that.

Iran a Nuclear Threat?

2006-02-19T22:08:00.001-06:00

Iran and Nuclear Power.
There is a lot of fear that Iran is developing nuclear capabilities to attack Israel.
This may be partly true. So you should ask why Iran would want to do such a thing. Because if Iran did attack the retaliation from Israel and allies such as the United States and the United Kingdom would be there demise. Maybe the reason would be this. If Iran had the ability to strike with a nuclear weapon it would be hard if not impossible to invade or attack Iran.
Isn’t that why the US and Israel rationalizes having weapons of mass destructions themselves as a defense against an attack? And isn’t it to stabilize peace by detouring any invasion of a foreign army?
It’s no secret that George Bush wants to occupy Iran with a strong military presents ,and it’s very obvious that this idea is supported by Israel and will also be supported by Tony Blair of the UK.
There is a propaganda war going on with the spread of fear and hatred this war is being lead by lies put into our news media. Who runs this media? The dominant name on this list is Rupert Murdock an Australian newsman worth billions of dollars he owns and controls over ¾ of the news agencies around the world. Including the Twentieth Century Fox movie studio, Fox News Channel, TV stations and a number newspapers and the HarperCollins book publisher, Being a Zionist his news network will generally give a very favorable view of Israel and a negative view of the Islamic world, often provoking hatred toward Muslims. For example the coverage of the protest going on over the Mohamed cartoons it is not as wide spread as the news makes it seem, and there seems to be an outside influence in sighting the riots. This is a very minuscule part of the whole Muslim population.
Now wait a minute. Now lets not forget about the Zionist best friend and partner in crime the Christian Coalition of America Headed by Pat Robertson. Pat has a lot of bigoted ideas of the world and is a strong contributor to the Republican Party and has a lot of influences over the Neocons who are in power of the United States, you know the ones with the most powerful army with the most nuclear weapons of mass destruction ever seen in the history of the world. This is why Iraq looks like a threat its made to look like a society of violence crazed lunatics bent on destroying the free world because they don’t like our freedom bla bla bla.
This is the message coming over the mainstream news network. Who are the Neocons? Historically, neoconservatives supported a militant anticommunism, tolerated more social welfare spending than was sometimes acceptable to libertarians and mainstream conservatives, and sympathized with a non-traditional foreign policy agenda that was less deferential to traditional conceptions of diplomacy and international law and less inclined to compromise principles even if that meant unilateral action. Indeed, domestic policy does not define neoconservatism — it is a movement founded on, and perpetuated by an aggressive approach to foreign policy, free trade, opposition to communism during the Cold War, support for Israel and Taiwan and opposition to Middle Eastern and other states that are perceived to aledgedly support terrorism.Broadly sympathetic to Woodrow Wilson's idealistic goals to spread American ideals of government, economics, and culture abroad, they grew to reject his reliance on international organizations and treaties to accomplish these objectives.Compared to other U.S. conservatives, neoconservatives may be characterized by an aggressive moralist stance on foreign policy, a lesser social conservatism, and a much weaker dedication to a policy of minimal government.
So you ask who should we fear?

Freedom of Speech Cartoons and Insults

2006-02-02T19:34:00.001-06:00

There is a lot of brouhaha in the news today about a cartoon that was published in some of the newspapers around Denmark a few months ago. It’s the publication of caricatures of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. This is what the Palestinian and many Islamic people are protesting about lately. This protest is hurting the Danish export business by having a boycott on all Danish products in the Islamic states. The issue was made worse by a basic misunderstanding on the part of the protesters. Arab nations demanded an apology from the Danish government and also asked Copenhagen to punish the authors of the drawings. However, neither act is possible for a western democracy. I’m a true believer in reporting the news as accurately as possible and that should never be censored. But when when your making fun of somebody even in good humor you should back off if your upsetting the people your making fun of. Because now they are being insulted and this is how many fights began. I personally believe that they are over reacting and behaving very immature. However we must be mature about this and more responsible and have a little sensitivity. Insults are not necessary. On the other hand Islam must lighten up a bit. Its just a cartoon. There are far more important issues to focus on. And Denmark should grow up and stop insulting and antagonizing its world neighbors. It dose not accomplish anything.
By the way,I have not seen these cartoons for myself and would surly like to. If you know where I could see them I would be grateful. Please send links or attachments to ronnie@rinkadinkproductions.com

9/11 The Bottom Line

2006-01-19T09:10:00.001-06:00

With all the lies that the Bush Administration has given us,We cannot take any thing they say or do at face value. Since this tragedy was used to rally America into a war based on lies and deception we must all ask questions. As good patriots who love our country we must question our leaders when they have consistently failed us in as many ways as Bush and his team of gangsters have.

Big Brother

2005-03-24T14:28:00.001-06:00

Know Your Enemy
If you have ever read George Orwell’s 1984, your all ready aware of the Big Brother is watching you concept. George Orwell was pretty accurate considering the time he wrote the story in 1949 the World Wide Web was not in existence yet. But television was new and becoming very popular at the time. Television was the cutting edge of communication technology. Computers and the Internet have not even been thought of yet. Years later the home computer has become the way Big Brother watches us by keeping records of every thing you click on to and all that you send out this is not only stored on your computer but on the many servers you use every day with E-mail accounts and what ever you interact with this only part of the way you are watched .If you have credit cards there is a records of every thing you use it for. When ever you go any ware you will be recorded on the many cameras all around your town such as the Quickie Mart or super market or malls, and now traffic cams are becoming commonly used at many intersections and if you ride on public transportation your picture is taken every few seconds. Dose this make you paranoid? It’s generally not the government who is watching you but marketing gurus working for large corporations such as J.P.Morgan
Seral Drugs, General Motors, American Express, Dupont, A.C.Nielson, Fox Communications Visa, Master Card, the list can go on and on. This is a small part of the real Big Brother
Television still plays a large part of the control imposed on us all. If you ever notice that the network news hardly ever covers the news about the war in Iraq like it’s not very important even though over 1500 of Americas finest young men where sent to slaughter thousands of Iraq citizens are killed in a war for profit wile the news covers Terry Schiavo who got a lot of attention from congress and Mr. Bush acting like he has moral concern for humanity by trying to keep this poor terminally sick woman alive. Why? I don’t know, I say let her go we all must die someday, Mean wile terrorism is growing and spreading like wild fire. The major networks are avoiding the real issues and feeding the public tabloid style news. The average American knows more about sports, TV and movie celebrities than the members of Congress. This is not an accident the Republican Party wants it that way. This is how they can get away with all the bad bills and legislature that gets passed. It’s not just conspiracy theories. Just look around, where have all the hi tech manufacturing gone? What’s happening to welfare program that help the poor and disadvantaged? Thayer passing a bill preventing people from making class action law suits so the large corporations can avoid responsibly when people are injured or killed by defective products. The minimum wage is going to stay the same substandard rate at $5.15 per hour and the breaking of organized labor unions, privatization of public drinking water. Profits are made by corporations from the war in Iraq. When the war is covered by the media they usually make it seem like everything’s going well. While politicians spew their pro-life crap. Television plays a large part in the propaganda, because it is also owned by large corporations and are supported by other corporations or Big Brother. Poverty is growing in an alarming rate with unemployment and under employment. But that’s OK as long as the baseball season starts on time to take Americas mind off these awful things going on. America is being sold off and nobody seem alarmed network news is keeping Americans sedated.
It's Not Hopeless!
There are alterative news sources and I’m not talking about the crazy ultra far left web sites that can find conspiracies in everything but the more established and reliable Internet news sources such as Democracy Now.com, Washington Post.com,
What Really Happened.com, American Progress.com and Bush watch.com.
Democracy Now has streaming video. And a first rate news broadcast. It works on Real Player
I recommend it highly, they are real journalist looking for the truth and are not owned by the corporations.

And I’m Ronnie LoBello

War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. George Orwell 1984

To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle. George Orwell

Privatizing Social Security

Think about it.
Privatizing Social Security
Who would this be good for?
Will it be good for the worker who always worked for a substandard wage all his or her life? Or will it be good for the middle class citizen, who may have a nest egg put aside,
Like a property or stocks?
Or will it be good for the rich. This would be people with an annual income of more than a million dollars per year?
Would you trust a man who has lied to the American people time and time again?
Would you trust someone who has had business ties with the Enron corp.?

Don't You Feel Safer Now ?
By Ronnie LoBello, March 4,2005
What's with the conservatives and right-wingers scaring us all the time?
I grew up in the sixties and seventies and back then it was fear the communist, ICBM weapons and the angry blacks. That is what polititions told the American public to fear in order to sell the Viet Nam war, and other bad policies, and things are no deferent today.
Bush and his henchmen like Carl Rove, Dick Cheney and religious phonies like Pat Robertson and his 700 club of con artist, babbling about how holy they are and judging all others, who don't go along with there way of thinking or not thinking. We are told that we are in danger of terrorist
And were told that Saddem Hussein and Iraq is our enemy, and that he had ties to Osama Bin Laden. When in fact the Bush family and Bin Laden families
Have been good friends and business partners for decades. By the way what ever happened to Osama?
Saddem Hussein Never were friends with any Bin Ladin family members. He also did not have any weapons of mass destruction or chemical or bio weapons ether. It's now obvious he was used as a scapegoat to sell the invasion of Iraq to the American Public, Sure he was a mean and nasty guy but the US supports a lot of those types of leaders and we seem to fall for it over and over. They even are trying to make us fear Sponge Bob Square pants. Watch Out He's gay!
The real fear is not the terrorist or the gays, but the bigots that are running the country right now; there policies put us in jeopardy every day. Their policies and corruption threatens your freedom in many ways. Why condemning people for there many deferent beliefs can only divide us . And attacking countries with no good reasons can only increase the chances of terrorist attacks on US soil and our allies around the world, and now that our military is so over extended and if a real danger arises. Will we have the strength to handle it? I don't know but the real enemy we should fear, Like FDR said, is fear itself. We must always question authority; the politicians in our government have a deferent agenda in mind these days. And it is based on there own interest, not the good and welfare of the average American like you. You must look farther than the mainstream media for news info. Since the major news organizations are generally owned by right wing thinking corporations who sensor the news and only let you know only what they want you to know. So whom should you fear?
The New World Order that's who.
Have a nice day I'm Ronnie Lobello www.rinkadinkproductions.com/newslink.html

Is it a Scientific Phenomena or What?

2005-02-27T09:04:00.001-06:00

By Ronnie LoBello
There is a phenomenon that science is over looking. Maybe mathematicians could figure out the formula. Perhaps some one out there can apply for a government grant of hundreds of thousands of dollars to study this. Please let me know if you do.
I'm sure that you have noticed these laws too. I just don't know if they have ever been documented yet they're very similar to Murphy's laws but I don't think there in the exact same category. The first law is. (Law #1) When ever you wait for a bus or train one or two will go in the opposite direction first. Maybe this dosen't happen every time, I'm sure you can get lucky sometimes, but in the most part the rule applies. (Law #2) Here's another one when you break a law, I mean a small one, like improper left turn or something, there is always a cop there to give a ticket but when you need a cop you can never find one. (Law #3) When you are in a hurry or late for an important appointment the elevator slows down or makes a lot more stops than usual. (Law #4) Or when you order some food at a restaurant and are waiting for your food for what seems to be for ever then you light up a cigarette that's when the waitress suddenly brings your order to you. (Law #5) Or how about seeing something laying around for months and when you finally need it now you cant find it anywhere, my keys do that to me all the time. (Law #6) Your waiting for an important phone call and the moment you step out of the room for a moment the phone rings and you miss that call. (Law #7) There are more laws I just can't think of them right now. If you can think of more please post them on the comments bulletin and maybe we can bring this science phenomenon to an explainable textbook conclusion.

Go Ahead, Burn Oil Lots Of It.
by Ronnie Lobello'
Over the years since the seventies after the big oil shortage
Remember the long lines and the sharp rise in prices?
This was the beginning of the search for the fuel-efficient cars.
People were discovering small import cars, such rice burners as Toyota, Datsun, Subaru, and Hondas these cars where suddenly very popular and sent the U.S. Auto makers scrambling for new small car models such as Chevette, Pinto and a few other poorly built cars most of which you hardly see on the streets anymore.
Well as trends go and with the short memory of the average Joe American.
Big gas-guzzlers where back with a vengeance. Four-wheel drive was the ticket pretty soon there where bigger trucks, and cars where becoming trucks.
This is the birth of the SUV. This trend dose not make much sense, with the price of gasoline at almost $3.00 a gallon.
What seems to be fueling this trend? "no pun intended"
One of many reasons is centered around the auto industry. There is a part of the population that can afford it and they want it the auto industry gives incentives, like rebates on trucks and on larger SUV's like Navigator and then they market the heck out of it. Why is this?
Lets look at Washington where G, W.Bush and his oil company family and cronies are working to suppress any attempt to burn less oil. In other words saving fuel is bad for business.
Look at it this way, if you had a business selling something that people needed, and you had no sense of fairness because greed has taken over your mind, you might do anything to prevent a new technology from making your product obsolete. They're brain washing the general public to think automobile. This nothing new its been going on since the 1940s
The oil barrens are running the United States and planet earth into the ground.
In California the Republicans are trying to pass a bill to abolish the sales tax on gasoline but then taxing every one by the miles they drive instead. The reason this is being proposed is because there has been a rise in high mileage cars like hybrids. This has caused a decline in tax revenue that pays for maintains of the highway infrastructure in that state. It seems to me that this would cause a lack of incentive to purchase high mileage cars. Also in California the ford motor company is taking the Ford Think City and Ranger EV out of circulation claiming that they are not safe and now must be recalled.
Now let me ask you. When has Ford ever voluntarily recall cars for being unsafe? Remember the fight they gave when the safety commission declared that the Ford Pinto was unsafe?
BS I say.
This may seem harsh, but I say raise the taxes on the gallon. This would create a need to get even more miles per gallon and put pressure on the manufactures to produce high mileage cars
Eventually we may reach the point of not using any fossil fuels at all. And even slow down the green house affect.
But this would change the balance of powers. "The powers that be" wouldn't want that to happen.
They will lie, cheat and even murder innocent people, to keep their wealth and power. As long as the republican Texas oil gangsters are in the white house conservation doesn't seem to be happening .The other end of the candle is the war in Iraq and the destruction of the environment, such as wild life refuges.
I fear the next four years. We must not sit on our hand lets do some thing like leaving your car at home and ride a bicycle, and/or speaking out like writing to Congress.

Leaving The Crime Scene

2005-02-18T16:30:00.001-06:00

By Ronnie LoBello,
I am one of the many Americans who feel we as the United States must pull our troops out of Iraq .
This sounds like an easy thing to do. It's not.
You know the repercussion would be very hard.
Kind of like robbing a bank and then changing your mind in the middle and walking away. It just doesn’t work like that.
The crime has all ready happened. Thousands of Iraq citizens have been killed and millions of people’s lives are in turmoil and chaos and are feeling grief and feeling anger towards Americans ,
President Bush calls it liberation.
So how dose America pull out gracefully?
I don't have an answer for that, and I think about it all the time.
We all have to understand there are great cultural differences in many of the things we do and take for granted, they may seem strange and sometimes immoral to the Iraqi people. Just as some of the Iraqi customs may seem strange and sometimes immoral to many well meaning Bible thumping Americans.
But who are we to judge?
Take a close look at ourselves as a nation,
yes who are we to judge?
The truth is that its not the people to blame we are the victims just as the Iraqi people are even though the war is being fought over there.
We have been lied to. Our good natured well meaning ness has been taken advantage of , We’ve been 'duped, flimflamed, hogwashed, fooled,' and
just plain bull shitted.

Meet the Neocons..........Who's plane was not to remove Sadom Hassan
from power to liberate the people, but rather to take control of all of the wealth of that country. George Bush and his gangster’s have deceived the American people with lies about terrorist ties ,weapons of mass destruction, chemacal warfare the list goes on. They even lie about the election , which is an sacred American heritage but then stepped all over that too. There’s so much lying I cannot cover it in one article .

Ronnie LoBello 2/18/05

I'll be writing more on this later.
thanks for reading this please feel free to comment
