The City of Las Vegas to Receive Funding for Anti-terrorism

Reportedly, the city of Las Vegas is receiving one million dollars for anti-terrorism efforts and currently, there are about 17 project proposals that could get the money. 

And Metro could get some of the money for their fusion centers, which gathers and shares information. What is it that Jesse Ventura, said about "fusion centers" again?

Masters of Our Own

"This is the American way. We have never been victims of destiny. We have always been masters of our own." ~New Jersey Governor Chris Christie  

I've always been told that an animal absolutely must know the difference between themselves and their masters, which is the only way for them to obey. And if a dog is supposed to know that it has a master for obedience purposes, then is it safe to say that this is the "rule of law" in life?

1. Humans are master of animals.

2. Animals are masters of other animals. 

3. Humans are masters (bosses) of other humans within companies, tribes, sororities, fraternities, gangs, sports, education and government.

Then there's the 3 opposites that are a constant in this world; good, bad and evil. Humans and animals fall under all three categories, but what specifically do they have in common?

- Both are raised by their same species, as well as their opposite species. More often than not, humans raise animals because they have them as pets. And there have been rare events in which humans were actually raised by animals, but very rare.

 - Both can be raised by extended family.

- Both can be raised by strangers.

- Both can be raised alone.

What else do they have in common?

- Both can be taught differently ie, good/bad/evil.

- Both are opposites.

- Both are mixed together in the world; countries; states; cities; towns.

A notable philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche stated in one of his literary works titled Thus Spoke Zarathustra, that the main character in the book "Zarathustra" stated, "Ye may understand my gospel of good and evil, for that purpose will I tell you my gospel of life, and of the nature of all living things."

Zarathustra continued, "The living things did I follow; I walked in the broadest and narrowest paths to learn its nature."

[...] "But wherever I found living things, there heard I also a language of obedience. All living things are obeying things."

[...] "Whatever cannot obey itself, is commanded. Such is the nature of living things."

[...] "Wherever I found a living thing, there found I Will to Power; and even in the will of the servant found I will to be master. That to the stronger the weaker shall serve."

With regards to the latter, if "evil" knows this about living things wouldn't it be that much easier to deceive a people? How you ask?

Well, by simply using the above mentioned categories where "humans are masters of other humans" category? In the good/bad/evil category? Or what about the raising of opposites by other opposites?

In this world we're all mixed up like a bag of colorful M&M's where good can learn bad and evil, bad can learn good and evil however, "evil" itself is in a whole other realm in which it is believed that there's no coming back from it.

Of course we always hope and pray for "evil" to change, but it seems to remain prevalent within our education systems, our churches, companies, tribes and yes, even in our government. Evil always seems to make a comeback but so does good; thus the reason why both opposites fight incessantly amongst each other in pursuit of preserving its "category" and "order" of structure, ie, masters of our own?

Life Challenges Like Football?

Our lives are usually marked by a set of really important moments that could either make or break a circumstance. 

When important moments happen in ones life it could be regarded in "football terms" as a touchdown, which simply means you finally gained traction and succeeded over an obstacle that was currently in the way.

"Fumbles" could be regarded as bad moments that deter us from overcoming the obstacles at hand, as life is full of precarious events. 

So instead of getting depressed over life's challenges (those you can control and others that you can't) simply remind yourself that just like in sports, you win some and you lose some as long as you strive to live too potentially win...another...moment.

Wealthy American Rapes His 3-Year-Old Daughter and 19-Month-Old Son

Richard H. Roberts (seen above), a 47 year old, 6 foot 4 and 260 pound husband and father plead guilty to raping his 3-year-old daughter, in which the judge only gave him 8 years probation because she felt that he "would not fare well" in prison. What?!

This sounds like it may be another case of "affluenza", which simply means being to wealthy too be jailed. Of course this notion is absurd but in courtrooms across the nation, being very rich seems to get you out of trouble a lot quicker than if you were poor.

Originally, the judge had sentenced this pedophile to 10 years in prison, and at the last minute she changed her mind. But could it have been the sound of a huge wad of cash flipping in her ear that got the judge to rethink her sentencing, or does she really feel that this person would be destroyed by prison?

In my opinion his character, reputation, and definitely his mind, were already destroyed when he decided to look at his daughter the way he should be looking at his wife. And now his ex-wife Tracy is not only suing her wealthy husband for raping their 3-year-old daughter, but also for raping their 19 month old son as well!

This child rapist should be behind bars and nowhere in the public realm, as it is imperative to make sure that he can not do this to someone else's child.

The ex-wife's attorney had this to say, “This self-confessed, admitted rapist and child abuser didn’t go to jail and, in fact, he stays in luxury where he’s always been,” said the lawyer, Thomas C. Crumplar.

Has Your "ZOMBIE CARD" Been Revoked?

Have you ever conversed with someone about the ways in which the government is rigged against specific groups of people, and after the discussion you realize that some of these people really think that that's just the way it's supposed to be?

Seriously, there are some people that equate the suffering and struggles of particular groups of people to the "circle of life" if you will, in which the struggle is inevitable therefore it must be normal. 

This mentality I like to call the "giving up" mentality, where a person buys into third party interpretations of what one should think and be. It's like sentencing yourself to death years before you're officially buried in the ground. What's left are a bunch of zombies walking around simply existing for the purposes of existence. But don't take up space if you're not going to positively add to society, right? 

Either dig a six foot hole and pull the dirt in on yourself or stand up, and dust yourself off, while making strides towards positive contributions within our American society and the best place to contribute, is at the ballot box with your vote at your current place of residence.

Get informed with what's happening around you in your country, in your state, in your city, and in your town. It's imperative that we stay engaged so that we can engage others, and guess what? If you do the latter, then you're zombie card would officially be revoked. :-)

How to Handle Unprofessional Behavior and Backstabbing Circumstances in Business

The world is full of professionals; those that claim to offer expertise in particular areas in which to profit, and those that offer services that they themselves aren't an expert in -- but will offer them anyway while finding someone that is an expert as a means of using their talents to capitalize off of.

If you're not intuitive enough to realize that a "professional" is trying to dupe you, then it could lead to a catastrophic spiraling of events in which you're sure to pay the price for your mistakes. However, as long as you learn from your mistakes then you seek to reduce the chances of being duped a second and/or third time etc.
 

Business is sharky and backstabbing for sure which is why to protect yourself, you must always look at everything with a very keen eye from every aspect that there is before making a final decision about anything regarding business.

There are "professional" business predators that prey on those they deem to be weak and/or unknowledgeable about business, and will lie in order to retrieve what they feel is necessary to benefit their organization. 

Personally, I've encountered "professionals" that tried using creative rhetoric in order to figure out the knowledge that I hone, in order to use it for their own business as to eliminate paying the middle man (you) for a service that they require. All your studying, research, and practice will be for naught if you easily give away your "inside" secrets and valuable knowledge -- as knowledge is power indeed.

An honest business relationship is one where a professional treats you with respect as a fellow professional, and is willing to be truthful about a partnership with regards to splitting generated revenue as a result of working together. A sneaky "professional" that tries to capitalize off of you without you knowing, isn't necessarily a good person to deal with.    

As for how to handle unprofessional individuals? 

Keep a cool head and remain professional at all times, after all this is your reputation on the line and you don't want one unprofessional person taking you out of character due to their own inadequacies. Always handle business as usual but never accept vulgar or abusive language from anyone, as it will kill a business relationship quicker than it began.

Be smart in business and above all, make sure to question a "professionals" motives at all times, this way you protect yourself and your company.

Extreme Corruption Combated by Extreme Cold

Regarding the latest environmental disasters that have recently occurred in West Virginia and North Carolina, coupled with one of the worst winter storms in history which barreled its way through the Northeastern part of our country; I'd say the extreme weather is right on time.

Granted, I'm fully aware that extreme weather can cause many problems with traffic and power outages however, because our streams and rivers have been contaminated with death baring chemicals and coal which the federal government is currently looking into as a crime; the extreme cold can fight off any diseases/infections that could arise as a result of these historical and catastrophic pollutions.

Furthermore, because the water supply has been contaminated in WV and NC, to the point of school closings and civilians requiring medical assistance, the freshly fallen snow could be used as drinking and bathing water as it is purer than the contaminated water.

My how the creator of all does his job.

The 47 Percent That Voted for Mitt Romney

Remember when Mitt Romney ran for president in 2012, how he constantly spoke of the mysterious 47 percent of Americans that didn't pay taxes and was dependent upon government?

Then during the actual election we all know that Mitt Romney lost, but what was shocking about his loss was that he received 47 percent of the vote, exactly what he presumed Obama would receive!

So is it fair to say then that everyone who voted for Mitt Romney, is dependent upon government?

And when you think about it, during Romney's presidential campaign when it was time to reveal tax reports -- he never did. Even when Americans pressured him to release them, he simply ignored the requests. Then along the way it was discovered that Romney in fact dodges tax season, obviously because he'd rather not pay. 

Then there's corporate welfare which is a government support or subsidy for private businesses, such as by tax incentives which the GOP absolutely love! 

Tax breaks and tax loopholes is their name of the game. So again, regarding Romney's 47 percent are freeloaders comment; it's obvious that 47 percent don't pay taxes but it's also obvious that 47 percent do receive tax incentives -- in which real American taxpayers haven't a clue of what it feels like to fall under the Bush tax cut bracket. Maybe one day we will?
