While aware of the accusations and against whom concerning 9/11's Twin Towers and the crash into the Pentagon, this list from trutv gives a insightful look into incidents prior and after that fateful day.  It begs to question what we know and what we've been told.   It is disheartening in most matters as the connections and links that we have had to investigate as top officials may be reluctant to widely acclaim.  It erodes the foundations of this nation.

I am not a con theorist but think of the words of conspiracy, for we are not the one conspiring but those who might have done just that are openly shut and yet still so free.  It is a perversion of justice if the facts and money trail led to what the consensus may in the future concedes as truth.  What will it take?  I don't embrace the notion with 100 percent claim but the threat levels are similar to the orange red status that warned us after 9/11 as what has come about has been a considerable decline in our economy and prosperity.  On the upside, the people of this country refuse to bow to the shoveling of the ashes under the carpet as seen by the demonstrations of the 99%.  The demand for accountability is on almost everybody's mind.

The link is as it says, 23 coincidences.  Nothing more and nothing less but it says a lot and something that should remain in our consciousness as a country.  After looking at the 23 incidents, I ask myself a solemn question and it was addressed in Canada and by others.  However, knowing that others have found some serious discrepancies in the facts surrounding 9/11 is comforting.

Exam it on your own.

Cultivate Freedom

From advancing Argonaut to artistic Astronaut, a representative of culture must define the concept of theme or topic. The knowledge of concepts revolves around the ideas of notions. It’s scientifically taught to children in the formulation of hypothesis. In other words, guesses.  It requires taking chances to develop a theory and routine in cultivating that first notion or guess. While these ideas are universal as we desire knowledge to give us perspective of our current world the social concepts vary dependent on the countries or regions of the world. The word culture is derived from Latin’s cultura which comes from the word colere. The epistemology of colere means honor, cherish, worship, live in, inhabit, till or simplified to cultivate. It is a present and future word and not referred to as past tense. Dictionary.com defines the word “cultivate” as “to prepare, use, promote, produce, develop, devote or seek.” In these words alone a sense of responsibility comes to mind. The ideas of mindfulness are rooted in Buddhists teachings as a central role in meditation where “correct” or “right” deductions are paths to liberation and also enlightenment. As the word enlightenment is overrated as some obscure mystical plane of consciousness, the ideas of revealing truth are self developing.

Take the idea of film as we know it, the future concept will make the past concept obsolete as the negatives of yesterday disappear from the small drive through kiosks to the corner drug store as former formats of development become digital. In essence the word culture is often misused and distorted in its meaning. In life, everything we do is a part of some culture or another, whether it is work customs, mass media perception, high society aestheticism or family traditions we cannot escape the concept of culture. It is ingrained into our personalities as building blocks of experiences. It would be ill advised to say that all people are cultured for some resist the norm. Culture is a human creation, in its anthropological scientific definitions, it has two distinct traits. According to http://anthro.palomar.edu/culture/culture_1.htm, “culture is the full range of learned human behavior patterns.” The first notable use of the word was used by the pioneer Anthropologist Edward B. Tylor in 1871. In his book Primitive Culture, Tylor said that culture is “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.”

If people can’t relate to any of these perceptions of thought then a person’s growth is stunted and the rest of society is stunned. Generally, the very ill of society with physical and mental disabilities or traumas often derails them from learning and growing within their environment. As that’s said, culture is environment and manmade misperceptions of what we are supposed to learn as a member of society is rigid and the term culture is often reserved for the upper-class with their ideals of high culture, the arts and humanities of a particular society. If culture is reduced to “learned behaviors” as we leave home and venture into the day, then what separates us from animals and other creatures of habit? The answer being speech, language and higher communications, while one of the most joyful attributes that is limited to the animal kingdom including humans is laughter and other indicators of happiness. The presumption used to be that only humans and hyenas could laugh but research has shown that other animals also possess the gift of giggles, like cows, calves, horses, monkeys and most in dogs. How could we forget the orangutan, Clyde in the 1978 movie, Every Which Way but Loose?

From sticks and stones people have evolved in creating man-made archives and buried treasures. However, they only give insight and clues to the type of culture for that time and place. It is intuition that reveals the unseen. With the onset of the internet, within a few clicks.  Culture today is no longer limited by borders or national identities. In the U.S., the great keystrokes we can visit the past in lightening (broadband) speed and restructure previous findings. It is a true stroke of genius and human nature will dictate how we will utilize, consume and examine our discoveries. In this new age, we are connected and cyber-culture unlocks the mental agility, creative engine and social discourse for a purpose - to culture.American melting pot, the residue of the dish du jour is as tasty of a full course meal.   The delight is revolutionary and Revelations unfold like a napkin in our laps. If we are then within a global family, it becomes the responsibilities of older generations to remind the youth what was. Access has become encompassing for optimal health, mental, spiritual, physical and social growth in comparison to just a few decades ago. Thus, the future is open for interpretation. What sign and what time will you participate in? Explore your eras.

Eyes On

While those who are able to Occupy Wall Street, it is a good thing and time that Americans stand up by whats been afforded to them by the founding fathers and the established Constitution.  For the solidarity of those who have been paying attention to the rampant greed and corruption of our establishments, the majority lost much over the past few decades and it is good to see that proactive reactions are various levels of frustration.  The times of decades past has gotten complicated and ruffled with the rise of corporations and the for profiteers that have strong influence and sometimes hold on our duly elected officials.  Some are probably in bed with these entities and while it is not a nameless grouping of selfish people, over time, the mass that amassed was wealth and power.  I offer three good sites to reflect upon.

This is the kind of stuff that fascinates and haunts me.

Taking a side trip in the information highway, one might run across the establishment that I was employed at, where the local or nearby franchise is saying goodbye to the corporate entity that has held it's title in 24-7 America.  I have found a bit of niche for once in life that is irrelevant to the story at hand.

While local corner stores are inevitably squeezed out to larger markets, such as Circle K's and 7Elevens, the franchise I work at has changed the passing of the guards after a forty four year run.  I only partook in five or so of those years but the history is important as the owner, Angelo Pighetti has sold one of his two franchises of 7Elevens.  While he started his humble beginnings working for Vons in Goleta, the 7Eleven's he owns are at the very last northern pit stop out of the glorious town of Santa Barbara.  The area has grown considerably since the first year in 1968 and with the influx of UCSB students, the growth and expansion of Santa Barbara, the place has held it's own for some time.  In fact, these two 7Eleven's cater to the educational age youth with one nearby the local high school of Dos Pueblos, where Katy Perry is known to have attended and the other in the nearby neck of woods of UCSB.

I say neck of the woods because it doesn't take far to reach the wilderness of the area with it's ocean bluffs as the backyard or the serene mountains for it's background.  The beauties of living in a well known town has its perks as the people have come out of the woodworks to stop in and get their Slurpees or Big Gulps on the their way.  It has been a time tested honor to have employment with the employer and his staff.  The sadness of hearing their own challenges and testaments have made the lowly job worth while.  It can't be said that being a clerk at 7Eleven is a glamorous life but it's a job, nonetheless.  Mr. Pighetti, who's son manages the 7Eleven near Dos Pueblos is also employed by the city's Fire Department.

Angelo Pighetti will always be known to many as the elderly man who ran the register on occasion as he worked most of those 44 years of ownership in the store.  In his later years, he was not in often due to life's adverse affects of a life lived long.  If he could, he'd probably still be working behind the counter.  Rather, we miss his singing old italian songs in the store and his casual approach to everything.  In regards to talking with him, he informed me that he had first started with the 7Eleven on the Santa Barbara Mesa.  After I told him I thought he was the longest owning franchised 7Eleven.  I told him of the article I found online about another man as the oldest person to have been with a franchised 7Eleven but Mr. Pighetti probably beat him out on owning a store for so long.  He then told me he knew that guy I was talking about.

It is with regret I did not converse with our store owner enough, but rather with his manager for the last ten to eleven years, that I found deep friendship outside the workplace.  My manager, Debbie Cordero understood the concept of local hospitality as she often made efforts above and beyond the call of duty to the customers and patrons of the store near UCSB.  Indubitably, respect was served all around along with the coffee, hot dog, six pack of beer or whatever else you might expect at a wide corporate chain such as this.  It is with the efforts of this business's legacy of forty four years gone by that I wish to notify those higher above us humble clerks that paychecks don't make the person but how others feel and notice after leaving your place of work.

Despite life's litmus test, I think that Mr. Pighetti, his son and my manager, Debbie has passed with flying colors and it is some food for thought next time you walk into a place that's open 365 days a year, 24-7 what makes it run so kindly.  So yes, "Oh, thank heaven for 7Eleven."

History Reveals Secrets

Review reliable relics of history.  In the world of conspiracy theories and pandemic paranoia on the New World Order or World Trade Organization or whatever conspired acronym that arises to fearful, watchful and retractful information on the evils of the world is not to be reared in the context of helplessness.  Skeptics and cynics are bordering on lunacy as they attempt to reveal what they believe as truth.  If powers that be have over the years accumulated enough power to twist every facet of life, than it is no one else's fault than our own for sleeping on the job.  In democracy, the principles of a government is powered by the people.

"Democracy cannot consist solely of elections that are nearly always fictitious and managed by rich landowners and professional politicians."

— Che Guevara

While perusing the internet on conspiracy theories, some of the most bizarre stories born from vivid imaginations, perhaps from dreams of secret wishes to find justice in today's world, as our economy has been privatized to the faction of some deviant sociopaths running politics, has yet to be seen.  The secrecy is the dilemma within a nation touted in freedoms, starting with the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.  The First Amendment protects our freedom of religion, speech and the press, as well as the right to assemble and petition the government.  In our search for truth, the world has been compounded to extremes that have alienated our God given rights to justice.  If you tend to get carried away with speculation, often those very Godly rights are undermined and compromised as many theories are proposed and the flood of information takes on a life of its own.

However, in the United States, we can only hold our own beliefs of equality, justice and truth according to the actions of our historical perspective of government.  As religion has spread, the need to accept everyone's precept of ideals and logic in faith has erased our foundations in spirituality.  Religion is a personal experience with God and it reinforces the idea that we are spiritual beings having a human experience rather than human beings having a spiritual experience, however both can coexist.  In exchange for the dissemination of principles, we have become nonbelievers of our own concepts and that is when conspiracies thrive and truth gets buried in cognitive dissonance.  The ad hoc agenda that only one reason can be right is incorrect, both principles can apply if we allow it.  Not everyone is on the same evolutionary journey due to where we all come from, which in our own creation.  Anyone who burdens us with a we or them attitude has selected to be exclusionary and it contradicts my personal beliefs in perseverance and survival.  If a man does good, believes in themselves to conquer fears and pursue justice, I'd consider them one and the same.

We must own every word we speak, every thought that flows and build on every inclination of what's real for our own unique individual experiences in the world.  We unite by coming together to understand our situation, discuss our differences and embrace our solidarity.  Somewhere in time and in history, we have been moved back and forth in a discontinum of sorts by evil forces or our blind dedications.  Have no fear though as some of us live in the wrinkle in time and can fluctuate in between different realms of illusion.  Reality is a constant in our universe as we pull the kinks out of ill information and flatten theories to planetary alliances.

Here is a clip of President Clinton, 42nd President of the United States from 1993-2001 apologizing for the misdeeds of government covert actions, known as the CIA operations, MKULTRA.
