"The Matrix" the Presidency of Barack Obama, Rod Blagojevich and your choice- the Red Pill or the Blue Pill

As you my readers may know, other than a post I wrote 2 years ago about militant Islam, I am a neophyte to blogging. I have already learned serious lessons- one of which is the need to double check my spelling, the second one of course is to not get in such a hurry to throw my thoughts out onto the blogosphere. The third lesson I am learning is brevity and sentence length. I must apologize to anyone that suffered through my previous blogs. My first few blogs were mostly for me, a few of my friends and to my extended family. All of a sudden my wife noticed I was getting hundreds of hits per day so now I have to be a bit careful about my spelling habits! Most of my posts the past few weeks have been my railing on the election and my comments on the "qualifications" regarding our Presumed President Elect.

Now for a post with just my thoughts about this election, the media coverage, the Obama-mania, and the general population of this great country.

I was listening to Hannity on the radio a couple of months ago when I heard him say that "the media reporting actual news is dead". This statement got me thinking about two interesting concepts in two of my favorite movies. The first concept was in the movie Star Wars when Obi-Wan Kenobi told Luke something along the lines that he could make the droids think what he wanted them to think by planting a thought in their primitive minds. This is a rather interesting concept that I have seen used before by certain charismatic personalities on certain "victims" I would call them. Some personalities have somewhat of a hypnotic effect on their listeners such that the listeners seem to "think" what they are told to think.(Does that remind you of a certain "charismatic" leader who has come to power?) Hannity was onto something then, and his point still holds. Ladies and gentlemen, you must know that a powerful media is "broadcasting" images, statements and sound-bites over and over for you to hear and only hear what they want you to hear. They show you images they want you to see from the perspective they want you to see. They do not want you to really think for yourself, they want you to just go to your work, come home, take in the media impressions and let them make their impressions on you all day every day.

Now, changing the subject, lets consider the movie The Matrix where Morpheus make s a very provocative comment to Neo: (Following is a direct quote from the movie- The Matrix)
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind. (long pause, sighs) Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
(In his left hand, Morpheus shows a blue pill.)
Morpheus: You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a red pill is shown in his other hand) You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I sow you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Long pause; Neo begins to reach for the red pill) Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.
(Neo takes the red pill and swallows it with a glass of water)

Now if you look at American society as a whole- (300 million of us or so) there is this huge mass of people, there is a very powerful media, and of course there is the blogosphere- the net uninhibited whereby average everyday nobodies like me can have an uncensored thought and post it out there on the net for anyone to see. (China no longer has this- the net is censored with proxy servers blocking untoward comments that are politically incorrect).

I believe that if you take the time and effort to check out what what the mainstream media (MSM) has to say about any subject- you name it, if you were an eyewitness to what they just reported, or if you took away their media bias, you would be shocked at the difference between what really happened and what was reported. Personally I have experienced this no less than 10 times or so as I have been in a foreign country when an event unfolded. Lets say for the sake of argument that some of these events might be considered "classified" or events that I am not comfortable covering in detail, but when I saw the events (of which I was an eyewitness) covered by the mainstream media, I had to ask myself: was I really there for that event? Were they talking about an event somewhere else in time or perhaps some other country? No, it was just filtered through their media bias and then presented to the public. When the public then consumed that information, for them, it became "truth" since that is how it was reported to them.

Considering this as a bit of background, I would ask you to consider taking "the RED pill" that Neo took. You will never be the same, you will not be able to go blissfully into the night after being lulled to sleep at night by CNN or FOX. You see, I believe I took the red pill many years ago. Mine was taken in Honduras in 1985. I think I am glad I took the Red Pill, but I do know that I see things differently than about 280 million other Americans. Now, when I hear something on the radio or see something on the news, I do not just blissfully receive the information. I run it through my own filters, sometimes over and over. Then I check out other sources, then I go to the net and try as often as possible to go to an original source, or unbiased source as close to the reality of the event as possible.

You see, some of you may look at my blogs and say- "wow, this guy sure missed the point they covered on CNN last night". Or you may say to yourself, "hasn't he seen what has been posted about on Obama at factcheck.org or politico online"? "This guy is surely not thinking squarely because he does not see it the way the rest of us do". I would ask you, which pill have you taken? Did you take the blue pill so you could just sit back and enjoy the ride, watch the news, comment on the news, and then just read a few blogs?

If you have swallowed the blue pill and then continue to swallow the blue pill, you will view people like me as uninformed, uneducated, narrow minded and conspiracy theorists. Some of you may even claim I am "on meth", anything to discredit what I have to say about "the matrix- the Obama election. But hear me out, we are all in a matrix of sorts, we all have a frame of mind, a perspective, we all filter everything that comes into our mind. Some of use the media to filter the media, some of use our education to filter the media and the information being disseminated to us. Some of us use the Internet to filter the information, but we all filter it somehow.

I filter what I hear with two primary sources or filters. The first and primary filter for me is The Bible as a "standard" a rigid pole of truth that I can go to anytime and compare what I am thinking and compare it to what I am hearing. If I hear or see something I need to consider and I need to check out, I use the Bible as a "standard" by which I judge things. To me it is timeless. It is the final authority in my life for everything that must be considered. I refer to it as "the human being owner's manual". My creator made me and then arranged for me to be able to get a copy of my own owner's manual, The Bible.. I would consider my outlook on life as a Biblical World View. Don't try to convince me otherwise, that is the way I see the world.

The second source I now use is the Internet. I hear the media provide information, I then go to the net and begin to scour the net to find what I would consider to be "first source" or primary documents of the subject at hand. Then I go after the closest information I can find that runs close to the primary documents. I then will go to other sites and blogs to continue to scour the net for more information to help me get as close to the truth as I can get.

When I began to check out for myself this issue of the controversy surrounding Obama, I went to the Bible which guided me that when people want to hide things, and pay money to hide things from public view, they will pay a price, and ultimately they will be exposed to the light. So, I went to my second source. I read each and every lawsuit filed against Obama, the Secretaries of State, the DNC, the Federal Election Commission, and I began to see a pattern. I did not rely on the media to shape my thinking because I am a "Red Pill" kind of guy. I do not need to consume the "Blue Pill" of the media. I read more and more lawsuits, I read more and more online about our Constitution, about the discussions back in 1788 and 1789 about the qualifications for President. I read about our Founders and their thoughts. I then read some court case and judgements and I have come to my own conclusion that (1) there is controversy surrounding the qualifications for Obama to serve as our President, and (2) a public court of some kind, any kind, anywhere in America needs to get this out in the open to get it settled.

Even if you are living day by day on the "Blue Pill" of bliss, you would surely give me points 1 and 2 mentioned above right? What could possibly be wrong with America at least considering there is some element to a valid controversy? Other people like me that have had the misfortune to swallow the Red Pill know there is an element of controversy surrounding Obama's qualifications as a natural born citizen, much less his actual legal status as a citizen in the first place. Now, we my lose in court- but that is OK, at least we got to court.

Let's get to point 2, get this in a courtroom and get it out in the open. Let's have a judge stand in front of Obama and say "Mr. President Elect, will you please provide the court with your evidence that you are a natural born citizen of the United States:? Why has this proven to be so difficult? Oh, I forgot, Obama has fought extensively in court to provide this primary document and the media has been complicit in the biggest news coverup in American history. Hear me correctly, Obama and his legal team has fought in court to deny the American people from being allowed to see if he is qualified to serve as President.

When I heard the media cover the initial story of governor Blagojevich being charged with trying to sell his seat to the highest bidder and was charged with several corruption charges, I leaned on my experience reading the Bible and remembered its teachings bout quid pro quo, brides and deception. I then went to the net and downloaded a copy of the indictment against the governor. What did I notice first of all? That the reality of the indictment was almost nothing like what was reported on the media. What the media led me to believe was that the governor was trying to sell his seat to the highest bidder. What did the indictment say? Nothing to the sort, it was not even close.

The indictment showed one clear thread from start to finish regarding the so-called For Sale Senate Seat. Governor Blagojevich wanted some form of payment from the Obama administration in return for the governor putting Obama's "desired" candidate in his replacement seat. That is it, pure and simple. The frustration that the governor was experiencing as recorded in the indictment was that Obama and team knew the Governor was so dirty, and so much under investigation,that is was going to be hard for Obama to reward him with a Cabinet position, or some other position where he would be high- profile. After all, Obama is no dummy, he is very brilliant and shrewd. He is much smarter than all of his other "buds" that have managed to be indicted or arrested for corruption charges. Obama was letting his Advisors (A and B) do his bidding so to speak for him, and they were being more than careful about not getting themselves out there where it would be easy to catch them committing a crime.

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, Obama is referred to at least 44 times in the indictment. Am I suggesting that Obama should be charged with a crime in this situation? No. I am suggesting that the real issue (regarding the references in the indictment to the President Elect) was that Obama was not willing to put himself into a position to be easily connected to the governor and explicitly does not want any kind of clear trail to him?- Absolutely.

Now consider the Red Pill- Blue Pill concept. Those of you who have swallowed the Blue Pill do not understand all the fuss. You will never understand all the full because you took the Blue Pill and you will never understand. So if you took the Blue Pill, how about for once letting us Red Pill people blog ourselves until we are blue in the face? Just let us continue on our rants. Why bother us? If we are not really a threat to your Blue Pill existence, why go to so much trouble to extinguish our comments? Why go to the trouble to shut us up? The media has already taken your side, so why not just leave us un-disturbed in the blogosphere? If there is no truth for us to uncover, it will not be uncovered.
