Yes, this is present time…

Peace everyone. i came across this site today, and i was not surprised, but more so just disappointed.

We have to remind people that racism still exists. There are many forms of racism; it is whenever power + prejudice = discrimination.

These views are more common than most people think. Just as was stated in the beginning of this video. These things are ususally spoken behind closed doors. But now people have so much fear / anger, built up that they are speaking openly about their feelings.

I admire the guy at the end to have the courage to “Speak Up / Speak Out” towards these people. We will all have to be mentally strong in the next coming months. There is an energy shift that is happening. People are starting to wake up. But some are waking up with the same knowledge that they had when they went to sleep, and that is what we are seeing. For those of us that have stayed awake through all this mess the last 8 – 12 years, remember some people, we have to just let them sleep… don’t try to wake them up.  Things are moving fast — stay cool!

If you’re gonna vote — Vote early!!!

And no matter who buys wins the presidency, keep asking the tough questions!!!

1. why aren’t we pushing to invest money on technology – solar, geothermal, wind (technology that extra-terrestrials have given us). You think it was a coincidence that all those movies about extra-terrestrial (Close Encounter, E.T., Space Odyssey, etc.) came out at around the same time. I’ve found that movies imitate life. Now all you see in the theater are movies that contain the same story line, or some “real-life” experience, or war! I guess that’s what the people want.
2. why aren’t we seriously investigating 911 (’cause it’s a joke!) – i think mainstream u.s.a. has forgotten about this… but as long as we’re in Iraq/ Afghanistan/ Pakistan, this is still an issue, and should not be forgotten.
3. why are there still “prisoners of conscience” locked up in detention centers. what happened to our first amendment? what happened to our bill of rights? some people don’t even know what this is – video
4. why does the government allow the federal reserve to enslave us? the federal reserve banking system is no more Federal than Federal Express. Do your own research. there are too many links for me to post just one. Stop paying taxes!!! it’s unconstitutional! stop using credit cards!! you think you’re paying with money?? what the fuck is money??!!! here, i’m gonna wire  you $100,000 > 010010010010001011011001110010011010 ~ transaction complete!
5. why does the president need to have the power to deploy the u.s. military on US!!! ummm… what happened to habeas corpus??

I could continue… maybe another day. Let’s start getting to the truth! it’s out there, but it ain’t gonna come to your door and say Hi! go find it. You think the movie Matrix was coicendence? It’s time to wake up!!!

I urge everyone to check out this site – http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
