The late Robert Anton Wilson ( January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007, age 72) was the author that woke me up at an early age to how the world really works. R.A.W.’s main thesis is that your perception of reality ultimately controls reality. While that is an oversimplification of his ideas, he’s one of those prolific writers that you really must spend some time understanding. I think that everyone can get something out of reading Robert Anton Wilson. As an introduction, I’ve decided to post a documentary film entitled: Maybe Logic. If you enjoy the film below, please consider purchasing it, or some of his books. Trust me, it’s worth it.

With a little over a week left before this campaign season ends there is still little to no coverage for any of the third party candidates. As usual, one of the exceptions to the rule comes from the wonderful people over at CSPAN. In particular, their program Washington Journal has highlighted three of the candidates over the past week. Chuck Baldwin (Constitution), Cynthia Mckinney (Green), and Bob Barr (Libertarian) all received 30 minutes of airtime which consisted of an interview and a Q&A session with callers from across the nation.
I’m not very comforted when people in power with access to sensitive information make declarative statments about imminent dangers posed to me. I’m especially worried when a guarantee is made to me in regards to these dangers by someone who has a proven track record, for whatever reason, to have his pulse on “the real threat” which may come in “the belly of a plane.” Now, good ol’ Joe the Politician is making even more difinitive statements in regards to what our future has in store for us.
Michael Moore has released his new movie for distribution online. Here’s what Mr. Moore has to say about the film and it’s online release:
As you may have heard, I’ve decided to make my new film, “Slacker Uprising,” available for free to everyone in the United States and Canada. It is the first time ever that a major feature-length film is debuting as a free download on the internet — legally. I am doing this for two reasons:
1. Next year it will be 20 years since my first film, “Roger & Me,” so I’d like to give those of you who’ve supported my work over the years a thank you gift in the form of a brand new movie; and
2. I hope the release and wide distribution of this new movie will help to bring out millions of young and new voters on November 4th.
“Slacker Uprising” takes place in the wake of “Fahrenheit 9/11,” during the run-up to the 2004 election, as I traveled for 42 days across America, visiting 62 cities in a failed attempt to remove George W. Bush from office. My goal was to help turn out a record number of young voters and others who had never voted before. (That part was a success. Young adults voted in greater numbers than in any election since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. And the youth vote was the only age group that John Kerry won.)
This week the counter-convention to the Republican National Convention, for the Ron Paul Revolution, was held, the Rally for the Republic. CSPAN-2 was kind enough to air the entire eventC on Tuesday, 9/2/2008. Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura gave an amazing speech at the rally. If you missed the TV coverage, I’ve included the speech below. You must watch it. Please share the video with your friends and family and please leave comments with your thoughts below, I am very interested in what you think.
That’s right, Ron Paul is still relevant and still fighting for the cause of Freedom, Liberty, and the Constitution. Earlier this week he organized a counter-convention in St. Paul, MN opposite the Republican National Convention. His event was called the Rally for the Republic, and drew over 15,000 freedom loving Americans to the Target Center.
The Rally for the Republic was even carried on CSPAN-2 on Tuesday 9/2/2008 in it’s entirety, and was probably more press coverage than Dr. Paul got during his entire race for the nomination. Better late than never I guess, as the message is still very important, maybe even more-so now than ever.
Since dropping out of the 2008 race for the republican presidential nomination, his organization has transitioned into the Campaign For Liberty. Ron Paul’s people say that there is a major announcement coming next week, so keep your eyes out for that.
Ron Paul made an appearance on the Colbert Report last night on 9/4/2008. Check it out:

Something that pisses me off every time I hear about it, is when the police use a Taser on a “suspect” for little or no reason. Every day you hear of a new story about police officers using Tasers excessively. Television shows like “Cops” and “Jail” show officers using Tasers on people with little or no provocation. Officers always claim that they “fee threatened” or “fear for their lives”. I believe the use of Tasers should be outlawed and banned in the USA. When you watch these videos of police using a Taser, many times it is hard to believe that the office could have felt threatened.
