Comic Cosmic Relief: Maybe Aliens will Save Us from Peak Oil

Posted December 10th, 2009 by Michael Janzen and filed in Extra Terrestrial Life, peak oil

No I have not gone completely off the deep end and this is supposed to be a funny post… but if this turns out to be real… I’ll be a very happy psycho nut-job.

It seems, from this article in the Examiner, that the governments of the world have been in top secret meetings discussing the presence of intelligent alien life and how and when to officially disclose that fact to the public.

In a nutshell, pun intended, the prediction is that “Obama is planning to disclose the reality of ET contact by the end of the year; and that most, but not all, of the ET visitors are friendly.”

So just for a millisecond lets assume this is true… it would be excellent timing because most of humanity needs a wake up call to the fact that we have an amazing little blue planet that needs to be better cared for. Being able to see ourselves through another set of sentient (and vastly more technically advanced) might just do the trick and move that mountain.

I guess time will tell if this news story is just crazy talk or the real deal. In the mean time I’ll continue my personal work to evolve into a better human.

President Obama’s First Full Day

Posted January 21st, 2009 by Michael Janzen and filed in Politics

obama-signs-executive-orderThis is just a little strange, an article listing exactly what President Obama did on his first day, hour by hour. I was surprised that the entire morning was pretty much spent at church, but then again, he’s going to need all the help he can get.

I was also impressed with the two executive orders. I’m no lawyer but they sure sound like the groundwork for holding former presidents accountable and another putting an end to special treatment for special interests, like taking gifts from lobbyists. Nice way to start a presidency.Oh he also retook that fudged oath too… even better way to start a presidency.

The only question left in my brain was… I wonder what was on the not left him by George W. Bush? I’m sure it was nothing G.W. wouldn’t want entered into evidence.

Brand New Day – Hope Over Fear

Thank God we got someone in the oval office who has half a chance at repairing the damage done by GW Bush and his allies. It’s amazing how widely the pendulum has been swinging during the last 40 years. Here’s President Obama’s acceptance speech.

It is the farewell kiss, you dog

The nightmare is over and yet his legacy will be will haunt us forever. The worst part of course is that so many Americans still don’t get it. I won’t blab on about George W. Bush’s long list of ‘accomplishments‘ here in a vain attempt to change your mind; I’m just happy he’s headed home to Texas to work on his tan.

Anyway… there was one important lesson Bush reminded me of… and that’s you can’t count on the people in authority to protect you or your freedom. At any time, even in a democracy these people can pop up, gain support, get into office, act without repercussions, and get away with it all.

The only way you can really control your own situation is to make better choices and eliminate your reliance on outside entities. Independence and freedom are not guaranteed. The more you rely on others the more risk you accept. Rely on yourself and improve your chances of staying free.

P.S. “It is the farewell kiss, you dog.” is what the shoe throwing Iraqi journalist said as he chucked his shoes at GW Bush.
